"Awwh!" The woman winced as her hand was grabbed firmly and jerked violently. She growled and then turned to the perpetrator. "Keenan??"
"This is my house!" Keenan gave the woman a sharp look and then pulled her quickly out of the room.
"Keenan, come on. What kind of charade are you doing, heh? I know that you're pressured to get married, but why does it have to be with a one-child widow anyway? Look at me!" The silver-haired woman confidently approached. "I can be your wife."
Unfortunately, Keenan laughed discordantly. "Lisna, stop making things up. You'd better go home now."
"I'm serious. What am I missing? Oh my. You're probably being patted down by that woman."
Keenan snorted softly then said. "I'm not in the mood to argue with you. Go away."
Meanwhile, inside his room, Farel was listening to Lily's explanation regarding the incident.
"It's okay, sweetheart. That a
Farel gasped and then froze in an instant. Meanwhile, Lily quickly restrained Keenan's hand which had been clenched tightly."What are you doing?" asked Keenan in a voice that held a hint of anger. He was about to return to the study. However, the noise from Farel's room ruined his plans.The four-year-old boy looked down as he wrung his fingers. "I-I was just playing with the playhouse.""He was just playing. Please don't scold him," Lily whispered. She shook her head softly with eyes that almost stopped blinking as Keenan began to pick up his pace. Just as he was about to approach Farel, her cold husband stopped and took a sidekick position."Is your bed uncomfortable?" he asked later. "You don't like the picture?" Farel shook his head. "Or the color?" Again the boy shook his head softly. Keenan frowned
"Jum?" Lily who had just come out of the room was startled by the presence of the butler who was already standing behind her. "Who are you looking for?""Uh, he." The middle-aged woman lightly rubbed the back of her neck with an exasperated smile. "Mr. Keenan. Are you awake yet?""Probably. The bed is so neat." Lily replied casually. What she had just said made Jum frown as she turned her mouth upside down. Had the newlyweds not spent the night together last night? That was what was on her mind. Just as she was about to ask further questions, the sound of clattering footsteps made them quickly turn their heads."Sir?""What time is it already, Jum? Why are you late bringing me tea?" Keenan's gaze was intimidating. It made Mbok Jum look down in guilt."I'm sorry, sir. I thought last night you and Ma'am Lily were""What?" cut off Keenan quickly. "Don't talk so much. Just do your job here properly." After that, Lily's new husband quickly turned around and walked away to the nort
Lily closed her eyes while squeezing the cloth in front of her. Not to mention that she was breathing heavily. The beautiful woman's fear seemed unwarranted. Especially since she was now fine. Even her waist was tightly embraced by a burly arm that was still attached to it. "Keenan??" she whimpered with reflexively widened eyes. "Don't be careless next time." Keenan hurriedly stood up straight and unhooked his hands from Lily's body. "Thank you." Her husband had no intention of replying even with a nod of his head. Lily hurriedly closed the door to her room. "Huffh!" Her breath hitched harshly as she recalled the incident just now. If Keenan hadn't quickly restrained her, now it would have been either her hands, feet, or butt that hurt from falling onto the marble floor earlier. Her son was currently getting ready in his room. Meanwhile, Lily was anxiously waiting for Keenan who had been bathing since five minutes ago. "You can use the facili
Lily hissed softly after straightening up. Her steps became shaky because of the fall just now. Unfortunately. The car was getting closer. It had even blocked her way."Why are you running?"The cold, flat voice made him look up quickly. "Keenan?""Why? Who do you think I am, huh? A kidnapper?" said Keenan, who was already holding his nose while looking at him sarcastically."Sorry, I thought it was-""Come in. Don't waste any more of my time," cut Keenan off quickly. The man then immediately stepped into the car. While the driver opened the other door for Lily. Huh. The woman cursed inwardly. She had forgotten that her husband had many luxury vehicles. That's why she didn't recognize the color and license plate of a car that she wasn't familiar with."Today I'm on the afternoon shift. I'll be home by midnight," squeaked Lily, explaining why she was on the streets
Lily's eyebrows knitted together after hearing Keenan's voice just now. Didn't her husband forbid it earlier? Why is it like this? Meanwhile, Farel looked at the couple in turn."You can go, but don't stay overnight," Keenan muttered after finishing his breakfast.Lily nodded faintly even though her heart felt resentful. "Alright. Then we'll leave in a bit. Okay?""Just now. I'll wait in the car." Farel cheered happily. However, Lily let out a long sigh because she couldn't protest anymore. As a result, she quickly returned to the room to get her bag."Daddy is so handsome. Isn't he, Mom?" murmured Farel who was now sitting in the middle of them. Lily and Keenan looked at each other then both quickly broke eye contact. "Mom?""I-yeah," Lily replied briefly."Oh yeah. You're handsome too, rig
It was not only Lily who was surprised by the arrival of the person just now. The neighbors who were judging her earlier were equally surprised. They whispered to each other while glancing at the man."What's going on?" Keenan asked as he put his arm around Lily's shoulders. Then he stared at each of them one by one."It's nothing. We were just asking Lily," one of them replied. "It's only natural that we're suspicious. Lily and her son suddenly left here. When we asked her aunt and uncle, they said she was married. We thought something was strange.""Yes. There should have been news like that long ago," added another. Lily looked down and squeezed the hem of her shirt. She was afraid that Keenan would speak out of emotion or that he would be demeaning her uncle's family. Until then, the cold man could be heard
"Already, mom. I'm full." Farel shook his head as he moved his mouth away from the spoon held by his mother."Okay. Did Daddy say you had a stomachache?" asked Lily after finishing her breakfast as well. "Nausea or something, hmm?""It doesn't hurt now. I'm just going to my room.""I'll come later, dear. I'm going to take a shower first," Lily murmured as she gently stroked the top of her son's head. Farel nodded. The boy then quickly left the dining room. He looked down as soon as he saw Keenan who passed him. Lily had now arrived at her room. She had just cleaned herself up and sat quietly on the sofa. Not long after, Keenan walked in and took a seat in front of her."Is he not mad at me anymore?" asked the cold-hearted handsome man."We still haven't talked. I could only persuade him to have breakfast," replied Lily who quickly closed her mouth which was yawning widely. "You can just go. It's okay." After that, Lily quickly closed her eyes
Lily shook her head slowly. "It's nothing. It's just a bruise.""Alright," Keenan replied briefly. He didn't want to think about something as trivial as that. He ordered the driver to drive the car in front of him. "You guys go home.""What about you?" Farel asked innocently."There will be another car to pick you up." Farel quickly complied and got into the car. Inevitably, the boy kissed the back of Keenan's hand. However, when Lily was about to do the same, a loud voice from behind distracted her. A man in a formal suit like her husband walked over with a smile. His gaze was fixed on Lily with a look that was very difficult to interpret. It wasn't long before he smiled."Wow, who is this? It looks clear even. If it's a crush, I don't think it's possible."Keenan chuckled softl
"I'm sorry for getting you pregnant." The statement just now made Lily, who was in pain, laugh. Inevitably, the driver who also heard it laughed unconsciously."Keenan?" whined Lily in between contractions that slowed down for a moment. "It's okay. I can do it. Don't be a crybaby. Our child is about to be born, his father is crying.""Yes, sir. We have to keep our spirits up so that Madame is strong enough to give birth." The driver was equally supportive."You guys are right." Keenan quickly wiped away the tears that had rolled down his cheeks. "I have to accompany you in the delivery room later. If the doctors see me weak, they won't let me in." Lily smiled at her husband's words. Before long, the car arrived at its destination. Keenan shouted from outside for the attendants to prepare a whe
"Hi, auntie!" greeted Farel as he waved his hand at Lisna. The innocent boy had even moved to salute the woman in front of them.Lisna nodded with a smile. "You're getting bigger, aren't you?""Yes," Farel said quickly. "I want to be a big brother too.""Yes." Again, Lisna could only nod. She turned to Lily and said, "Congratulations on the pregnancy.""Thank you." This time it was Keenan who answered with an unfriendly look in his eyes. He still harbored anger over what Lisna had done at that time."I'm sorry.""Never mind. Don't think about it anymore," said Lily who was now smiling sweetly. "How are you?""I'm... good." Shortly after that, they heard Lisna's name being called by someone. Everyone turned their heads."Honey, are you here?" Dimas. The man ju
Farel was very excited to tell Adrian about the news of his mother's fetus. He even ignored the cake and snacks on the table. As usual. His voice always dominated among the adults."Wow!! I'm so happy that you're going to be a big brother soon." Adrian responded with a smile. Then he turned to Lily who was rubbing her bulging belly. Honestly, the love hasn't faded yet."That's it. I will take you upstairs to get ready." Keenan got up from his seat and took Farel's hand. Leaving Lily with Adrian who was still in the living room. The atmosphere turned into silence. Until Adrian chose to speak first. He smiled bitterly at his ex-wife who was now pregnant."Congratulations on your pregnancy.""Thank you." Lily nodded with a smile. "Don't forget to come the day after tomorrow.""I-yeah." Adr
"I want a little brother," Farel said when their little family had just taken a break from the pool. His eyes lit up when he put his hand on his mom's bulging belly."Looks like you're sure," teased Keenan, who now had his ear pressed against the other side of her belly. The man blinked when he felt something kick from inside. It made him and Farel chuckle in unison and then get busy arguing about the gender of their new family member."Isn't that right? He said he'll be my badminton buddy later." This time Farel felt very confident with his guess. Lily, meanwhile, just smiled as she listened to the two men she loved arguing back and forth. It was a beautiful sight that she had longed for since long ago. Soon she pushed their hands away and prepared to get up from the chair."Mom, tell me it's
Keenan lost his voice once he realized what happened. He continued to hug Lily to the hospital. Inevitably placing a small kiss on the area of his woman's face. Meanwhile, Bagas occasionally looked back. Trying to speed up the vehicle that he was currently driving himself so that it could go even faster. If he were in the master's position now, he would probably do the same."Mr. Keenan?""Do your best for my wife!!!" All the staff in the hospital's emergency room moved quickly to deal with Lily, while Keenan was busy pacing back and forth. He felt both suffocated and regretful of what had happened. Blaming himself for his wife's current state.Two hours later... &nb
"No!" Keenan quickly denied it. "I'm sure it was him who kidnapped Lily.""Are you crazy?" Lisna shook her head.Keenan gave Lisna a sharp look. "Or you're the one! Oh yeah. I've seen you talking to Adrian. You might have been working together. Answer, Lisna!" The frustrated man was about to throw another punch at Dimas' face, but his daddy and Bagas held his burly body back. He was blocked by both of them."Stop it!" his daddy snapped again. "This is not the way to act. You have to think with a cool head. Why are you being so brutal?""Lily is my wife, Dad!" snapped Keenan with mixed feelings. "I'd go crazy losing her. Especially now that she's... agh!!! She's sick. How is she now? Is he okay? No one knows, right?""We understand how you feel. Calm down for a while," her daddy coaxed.
"Honey, what's wrong with you?" asked Mommy who first saw her daughter-in-law sitting back down. The question just now made everyone turn their heads. Especially Keenan who moved closer to his wife."I'm fine." Lily smiled faintly and tried to calm them down. However, the two men she loved shook their heads in unison. Who else if not Keenan and Farel?"I'll take you to your room," said Keenan who immediately carried Lily's body."I'm coming too. I'll just hold Mom's hand, okay? I still can't carry Mom," said Farel, who didn't want to be left behind."Yes, sweetheart. You may.""Good boy. Be careful." Mommy Keenan helped her beautiful daughter-in-law get up from the sofa. She then let her son and grandson carry Lily.&nb
"Keenan won't agree, darling." The words containing the meaning of rejection touched Lily's heart. She shook her head weakly and said, "Mommy said that he loves me a lot, right?" Her mother-in-law's quick nod made her say, "Let's prove it later." Breakfast this morning was completely different because it was the first time Lily served it to Keenan's family. She looked nervous as she saw the expressions on each of their faces as they tasted her cooking."How is it, isn't it delicious?" Mommy Keenan asked them. The grandfather as the most elderly person there then spooned Senfeier, a dish of boiled eggs doused with mustard sauce. Coupled with boiled potatoes that are finely mashed and sprinkled with plain peanuts on top."This is delicious. I like it," said the old man who resumed eating."Everything Lily cooked.""Amazing!" Now all the members' eyes were on Keenan's beautiful wife. Staring at her with admiration and pride
"Dimas, behave yourself! Don't provoke Keenan's emotions!" whispered Lisna, who quickly pinched the waist of the man beside her.Dimas chuckled. Especially when he saw Keenan's face start to turn red. "I was just kidding." He gave a quick blink and then quickly ran away with a happy heart because he always managed to prank his childhood friend. Meanwhile, Lily sighed softly and rubbed her husband's left arm."My husband is grumpy. Don't be like that. He'll get old quickly.""Your fault," Keenan said with a sour face. "You're very beautiful. So my competition is everywhere."Lily replied, "You too. Look at those women over there! Everyone looked envious. They're upset that this handsome man has a wife." Both of them chuckled and then returned to their standby positions to greet the other
