Knock knock
I knocked on Kane's door slowly. While waiting for the man to open the door, I began to look myself up and down. Hopefully he doesn't feel allergic if he sees me wearing tacky clothes like this. An ankle-length skirt, an oversized and tacky pink shirt, thick glasses, fake moles, and hair tied in two. Great! My appearance is absolutely disgusting. I really wonder to myself why I prepared this outfit before flying to Switzerland. But all because of Kane. The man repeatedly told me to look tacky in front of him. So I suddenly had this outfit ready in my suitcase, even though when I put all this outfit in my suitcase, I was determined not to wear it. But it's become somewhat useful now. For a mission.
Kane really took too long to open the door. I knocked on his door again with a louder bang, then waited nervously. If the guy I'm going to meet is a normal guy, then he'll definitely feel nauseous when he sees me dressed like this. But since the man I'm going to
Two hours later I was still in Kane's room. Sitting quietly on the white sofa in the corner of Kane's room, I was busy observing Kane's peacefully sleeping face. That guy was really weird. He could be calmer and cuter when he was asleep like that. Two hours ago he was still pissing me off with his whining and noisy babbling. Like a baby with a fever and fussy, he kept complaining about his itchy nose, his eyes starting to get watery, and his body getting so cold even though I had the heater on max mode that I was sweating. But now look at that noisy man, he has turned very calm after taking the cold medicine I gave him and is fast asleep like a baby wrapped in a blanket. I walked slowly to his bed, trying to make as little noise as possible in his very quiet room so I wouldn't disturb his deep sleep. He was so handsome when he was sleeping, no doubt about it. My body bent over him, observing the movement of his caught breath and then placed my palm on his forehead to take hi
"Laurel? Laurel Stuart?” I blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the unfamiliar surroundings. My body moved to the right, squirming, and I scratched my scalp a few times in a daze. I heard someone calling me from a very close distance. I could even feel his warm breath against my face. But I'm very sleepy. I still want to close my eyes and curl up in this narrow place. Look, even my feet can't be fully accommodated in this place. I had to bend it and sleep in a snuggled position like a baby in the womb. And my eyes slowly closed again. “Laurel, you don't want to wake up? My baby Laurel?” Hah? What? Who called me in such a disgusting voice? Nobody ever called me that. Not even my mother. Instantly I opened my eyes, surprised to see Kane's face that was right above me. The man flashed an extremely disgusting seductive smile, as if he was trying to lure a woman in a bar. I blinked my eyes many times, frozen to s
"What are we going to do after this?" That's the fifth question I've asked Kane today. He was probably tired of hearing the same questions from me and this time chose to ignore me. I'm really bored. There's nothing we can do in these conditions. The snow was falling harder and harder outside. When I watched the morning news on tv an hour ago the news anchor told me about the possibility that today's blizzard would only stop at night. Everyone is advised not to leave the house unless there is an urgent need. The local government made an announcement asking shop owners to close immediately as the storm would continue to worsen into the evening. Automatically there is no activity in the middle of the city. This city became like a dead city that was very quiet. Even the hotel staff are not in complete formation. The cooker told us when we were about to order breakfast that he was taking longer to deliver the breakfast due to a large number of orders from visitors, while four of
"Come in. You have to see the inside." Kane said as he pulled my hand to enter the new house we were going to live in. I continued to follow his footsteps with a feeling of excitement and nervousness. I still can't believe that I now have my own house. After this I'm going to live here with Kane and I really have to be the perfect ideal wife. But if Kane's phobia has not completely healed, then my dreams of being the perfect ideal wife will just disappear. Today I had to dress up in a tacky style again in front of him because Kane's strange phobia flared up after I teased him in Switzerland. It was indeed a very chaotic honeymoon. We planned to stay in Switzerland for a week, but suddenly Kane canceled the plan for various reasons. His deteriorating condition was the first reason. Then the second reason, he told me he had an urgent meeting with his client that he couldn't postpone. So after our condition improved on the third day, Kane immediately booked a plane tick
Ughh.. It's tiring. What an annoying man! I had to unpack up all our stuff, while he actually enjoyed his time off by swimming in the backyard. He thinks I'm a servant here? Huh, that really sucks. I didn't stop grumbling while cleaning this house. I don't clean all these rooms in this house of course since this house is too big to handle on my own. But at least I need to clean the room that will become our room and the kitchen. Those are mandatory places on my list to clean. The room we are going to be in is very messy. I need to do a lot of things to beautify this room. Now in my hands I have collected a lot of cardboard and plastic waste that I found in this house. Kane had bought some furniture before and it had a lot of cardboard and plastic that I needed to throw away after I took it apart. “Kane, where's the trash can? I want to throw all of this away.” I screamed by the pool while waiting for him to emerge from the water. I looked up and saw Kane had
"How, is it delicious?" After changing clothes, I decided to cook in the kitchen. Kane was actually planning to order pizza, but I forbade it and preferred to make a bowl of chicken soup instead. After all, pizza is not good for health because it contains too much fat and oil. It's healthier to cook your own food at home. I finally decided to make him some soup. Eating soup after swimming is believed to make the body fresh and warm again. "Not bad. At least this soup is still edible and doesn't poison me." "Okay, whatever you want. Right now I'm not in the mood to reply to you," I said sarcastically as I scooped the soup into my mouth. We both ate in silence. Neither of us spoke. Only the clinking of spoons against plates filled the silence between us. Kane seems to be enjoying my cooking. He didn't say much after shoving the soup into his mouth. I glanced at him repeatedly to make sure the facial expressions that were printed there were only expressi
I bit my lower lip nervously over and over again. It would be very dangerous if today Kane met with Vella. The man must have been very shocked and also sad. I have to keep Kane away from Vella. But the woman had already walked too close to Kane and Stephi's table. Fortunately, the man's sitting position turned his back to Vella's direction, so he had not yet realized Vella's presence in this club. Arghh, God how is this? At least give me a chance to cure his phobia first so he won't be too surprised when he meets Vella. “Kane, help me. I'm having a problem," I told him over the phone. Now I have no other choice, but to call him and tell him to get out of here immediately. I saw Vella turn to greet one of her friends who was dancing on the dance floor, so I had the opportunity to keep Kane away from Vella. "Where are you? What happened?" Kane asked while looking for me here and there. I immediately hid my body between the table and chair. I had to lie
I stomped my feet in annoyance as I stepped out of the bathroom. The image of Kane teasing me on purpose by almost kissing me is still dancing in my mind. I once again cursed my stupidity for having been deceived by Kane. I should have anticipated that. Wasn't when we just got married I was furious when Kane was about to kiss me? But why now do I want to kiss Kane? Argh! It must be because I watch dramas too much. After this I will burn all my drama DVD collection and I will tell Tina to stop lending me her drama DVDs. Because it is proven that the dramas have poisoned my brain very horribly. I walked to our bed, and immediately dropped my body just like that on the bed. Instantly the bed immediately moved irregularly and also creaked loudly. Kane opened his eyes wide and immediately pulled me closer to him. Luckily I'm not the type of vengeful wife, so as soon as he grabbed my hand, I immediately obeyed and immediately positioned myself to lie down next to him. "Wha
Can't believe this is Kane's wedding day with Vella. Early in the morning the stupid man had told me to get up and clean myself up so I would look fresher at the two humans' wedding. But of course I insisted on not doing what he was told and I didn't want to go to their blessing at all. Because it would hurt me even more and feel like I was going to die. “Hello Laurel, are you ready to witness our blessing ceremony?” Suddenly Vella came with a white gown and a flower crown on her head. Although I'm lazy to admit it, but she is very beautiful in that dress. If only she didn't marry Kane today, then I would gladly praise her beauty. But since today she will marry Kane, then I don't want to praise her at all, never! "What are you here for? I don't want to come to that damn event. I'd rather be here forever than I should see the two of you vow to each other before God." “Oh my gosh, that hurts so bad. But, I will still drag you to come there, with or with
"Miss, it's time to eat." I slowly opened my eyes while trying to move my whole body which felt completely crushed right now. The stupid man was seen carrying a plate and a glass of milk in his hand. This time, I felt he was different from the previous him. Didn't he look cruel and stupid yesterday? Why did he suddenly turn into a kind and gentle man like this? But, I don’t care. After all, my life has no meaning anymore. If this man now carries a poison, I won't care either. The sooner I die, the better. "Miss, are you okay?" I blinked a few times and shook my head slowly. I lazily took the food from his hand, then I started to put the pieces of vegetables into my mouth. Turns out I was quite hungry too. And I think this food is very good and very different from yesterday's menu. "Why are you still here?" I sarcastically asked the black man after I realized that the man was still standing in front of me and observing. The man smiled awkwardly in fron
I slowly opened my eyes while groaning in pain. It felt like my whole body was being tied to a chair. I felt the atmosphere where I was confined was very dark and stuffy. There was no light here at all, except for a faint light that shone through the cracks in the frail-looking wooden door. I moved my hands here and there, trying to free myself from the grip of this rope. But the more I tried, the grip on the rope made my wrist even more sore and sore. I winced in pain while trying to calm myself who was starting to panic. Surely at this moment Vella was laughing out loud at the pain I was going through. What Kane said is true, Vella is a very terrible psychopath. I never even imagined this would happen to me. I thought I could fight Vella and cure her strange disorder. But I was wrong. Right now I'm helpless and don't have any strength. My previous belief, somehow has disappeared just like that. What Kane is doing now? He must have been very panicked and was looking for me
My eyeballs faintly caught the light that was so blinding and pierced my eyes. While groaning in pain, I forced myself to open my eyes wide and adjust to the bright light that turned out to be coming from the hospital room lights. Kane smiled gently to greet me when finally my eyes were able to fully open and adjust to the bright light from this room. "Water," I stammered in a hoarse voice. I felt my throat was so dry I couldn't speak. How long have I been lying unconscious like this? Everyone at Hanah's school must have been panicked when this afternoon's incident took place. But everything was unexpected and I never imagined that I would be hit by an accident like that at Hanah's school. "Are you feeling hurt?" Kane asked looking worried. I shook my head slowly, gripping one of his hands tightly. "I'm fine, it was just a minor incident, don't worry too much about it." “Minor incident? Oh my God, you almost made me faint on the spot because o
"Kane, I'm going backstage to see Hanah."I immediately left after getting a nod from Kane. During the dance performance, Max and I were very excited to cheer, supporting Hanah who was dancing on stage beautifully. As for my rigid husband, he repeatedly yawned bored while fiddling with his smartphone lazily. Several times the corner of my eye glanced at his phone, he was observing his company chart which was constantly crawling up. He had nothing else to do but swipe up and down the screen of his cellphone to distract from the boredom he was feeling. He wasn't actually in the plans to attend a children's event like this. He'd better be at home and drown himself with dozens of boring company files. But only because Vella suddenly came, I decided to bring him to this event because I didn't want Kane to spend time alone with Vella.BughA woman in a red hat hit me hard on the shoulder. I turned to the woman in annoyance while holding my aching shoulder.&ldq
At ten o'clock the three of us arrived in front of Hanah's school which looked very crowded by students and parents. They all looked happy with their children and hand in hand entered the wide school grounds. The children came with a variety of very cute costumes. Some wore duck costumes, some wore clown costumes, all of them seemed enthusiastic to welcome today's dance festival.Max then guided me and Kane to follow him into Hanah's class. There the little girl was seen busy getting ready with one of her class teachers."Hanah is so adorable," I muttered, giggling at Kane.The little girl waved her hand at me and was about to run towards me. But her class teacher immediately held her hand because she had not finished wearing the costume."Mommy!" Hanah shouted enthusiastically.She wiggled her hands in annoyance when her class teacher wrapped her arms even tighter.“Wait a minute Miss Hanah. You almost dropped your sunflower ornament.
The next day everything went normally. I seem to have forgotten what happened yesterday and decided to forget everything. I don't want to be stressed about a problem I can't fix at all. I'll just waste energy if I keep thinking about that problem in my head, while Kane and Vella don't even think about it at all. Today I start my day by cleaning the house and cooking. Nothing is different after our fight last night. I'm not too bothered by yesterday's problem either. I don't care about all the lies that Kane has made or his complicated past. The most important thing now is that he lives with me and loves me with all his heart. I honestly felt really touched by his courage to try to be honest with me. Yesterday he was really really awesome. Well, even though I was disappointed in him. But never mind, why get angry and keep fighting. It won't solve any problem. We are both adults and want to do things better as adults. We should be able to resolve our quarrels with a cool head
The light in the living room lit up brightly when my feet stepped into the main room. Dimly I heard the voice of a woman who was talking seriously in the living room with a hoarse voice like she was crying. My eyeballs looked warily into the house to see who the female guest was and what was she doing in my house? "Kane, I love you so much." Isn't that Vella's voice? With quick steps I immediately brought my feet to enter the living room. There I saw Vella and Kane hugging each other, with Vella who was seen crying while covering her face with both hands. Before long, Kane looked up and he looked into my eyes intently. I, who was still in shock, could only look at him with a sad and jealous look. A sudden pain stabbed into my heart. Didn't he promise me to make up and start over? But why did he do this? It made me feel sick and disappointed. He betrayed me. "Laurel, go to your room," Kane said coldly and flatly. His loud voice hurt me even more. My he
“Hello mom, how are the orphanages and sunflower gardens doing now? I haven't had time to visit them yet. Did the local government take good care of them?” This afternoon I took the time to call my mother and ask about the orphanage and my sunflower garden. Since Hanah and Max haven't arrived yet, I can take a little longer to call mom. I haven't called mom in a long time and chatted with her. The last time I called mom, when I told mom I wasn't pregnant, and it's been a really long time. "Oh my God, where have you been? You haven't called me in days and visited me. What have you been doing all this time? I always come to your house, but you guys must be working. You abandoned me after marrying Kane. And now you're just asking about your orphanage and sunflower garden. Tsk, you brat." Mom threw all kinds of protests at me. I can imagine her frowning face as she talks to me right now. Must be very funny. And I really don't mind mom scolding me. It is reasonabl
