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

“Kane, are you awake? Let's have breakfast together, I've already made you a bowl of beef curry,” I shouted as I poked my head through the door. I thought Kane hadn't woken up yet, but it turned out that the man was neatly dressed in his blue shirt and a black striped tie on his right hand. Seeing him holding a tie made me have an idea to tie a tie for him. I often see a scene where a woman is putting a tie on her man in the dramas I watch. And it always manages to create a sweet moment with your partner. This time I will also do it to make a sweet moment with Kane. "Kane, give me your tie, I'll put it on for you." Kane looked unsure of my idea, but he ended up handing the tie to me. "Are you sure you can do it? Making knots for ties?” "Of course. I'm really good at putting on ties. I have learned how to tie a tie through the dramas I watch often. So you take it easy. I can do it." With great enthusiasm, I began to do the steps on how

I walked slowly into the yard of my house which looked deserted. From the outside I saw absolutely no sign of life inside the house. Maybe mom isn't home yet or she's making something in the kitchen. But the car that my mother used to use was still beautifully parked in the garage. It means that mom is in the house and is not going anywhere. "Mother." I call her loudly from the front door. A few minutes later mother came from upstairs, her face pale and with a hint of fear. Mom didn't immediately approach me who was standing in the front room and she instead froze at the end of the stairs for a few seconds. “Mom, are you all right?” My mom suddenly gasped as if my voice had startled her. She then trotted over to me and shook my shoulder hard. “Laurel, tell me what happened. You have to explain everything to me. What have I seen in your house?” After shaking my body hard, my mother suddenly grabbed my hand and immediately dragged

At exactly twelve o'clock, I arrived at my husband's company loby. Aww, does that sound sweet? Honestly, I was a little tickled when I said that. It's just too weird for me. Husband? Seriously? But what's even weirder is how I look today. Wearing tacky clothes like a nerd, I started to step in to the skyscraper towering in front of me. Everyone's gazes were fixed on me as I stepped into the lobby and walked slowly towards the receptionist. To hell with them, I thought annoyed! I don't have to think about what other people are thinking about me. It's their right if they want to make fun of me in their minds for my super weird appearance. As long as they don't throw those boos right in my face, I'll be fine. I don’t care. Because I always believed in myself that I was beautiful and smart. "Hi." I greeted the receptionist who seemed to be looking at me from head to toe. The woman's face was shocked to see me who was very confident roaming the b

"I am home." It was like listening to the most beautiful voice in the world, I immediately ran to the front door to greet Kane who had just come home from work. With a cheerful and sweet face, I helped him to take off his coat and also carried his briefcase. He seemed very tired. It can be seen from the look on his face that is sluggish and also the look in his eyes that are not focused. But is he so tired that he can even notice my sexy appearance? Okay, I purposely used his oversized shirt to get his attention tonight. But he doesn't seem to notice me at all. Alright, maybe I should do it now. "How's your day?" "Exhausting." Kane only complied as I pulled his hand into the living room and made him stand by the lilac couch. “Tough day for you?” "Very tough. I feel like I need to go to sleep tonight." “Alright, on the count of three, you should relax. One two Three!" Bruk I managed to drop him onto the couch aft

I rubbed my eyes slowly as I rolled to the right and left. My bad habit when I wake up is often rolling on the bed. But as I rolled to the right, I felt something strange about me. It felt like the skin on my back could touch the soft silk sheets that covered my bed. “Laurel, you made our blanket fall.” Kane protested next to me while muttering incoherently. I lazily tried to open my eyes slowly while squinting my eyes for a moment to get used to the sunlight that had shone brightly on our bedroom window. "Kane, you're not awake?" I asked while nudging his arm with my eyes still slightly closed from sleepiness. “After you shower and dress properly, I'll wake up right away. If you keep exposing your naked body like that, I won't get up and go to the office." What? Naked? Oh my God, I forgot. Gosh, what should I do? I need a blanket, I need a blanket! "Kane, borrow your blanket." I said quickly as I pulled the red blanket from ab

"So how did you know about this place?" While gazing at the sunflower garden spread out in front of me, I leaned comfortably on Kane's sturdy shoulder. This shoulder feels very comfortable to be used as a place to lean on. In addition, this shoulder also transmits vibrations of security for me, and I really don't want to lose this comfort forever. “Your mother told me. This morning I took the time to visit your mother at your house, and I was involved in all sorts of very pleasant conversations. Your mother is really very friendly and warm too. She also makes me a very good spiced tea.” "Is that true? Why didn't you tell me? I want to come home and meet my mom. But by the way, has mom told you everything?” Kane furrowed his brows in confusion and glanced at me who was also looking at his face waiting for an answer from him. His warm breath that hit my face almost made me fall asleep and lose my mind. I quickly took my head away from his

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.

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
