Letta then extended her hand, stroking her husband's firm jaw."If it's too much, you don't have to force anything you want to do right now. Whatever you feel for me at this moment," Letta said, causing Marco to grasp Letta's hand on the side of his face."I love you," Marco finally uttered, rendering Letta speechless."That's what I feel right now. Even though I've never said it directly. Isn't the fear I've felt of losing you all this time a representation of the love within me?" Marco said, again silencing Letta, before she nodded. Moments later, Letta pulled Marco closer and pressed her lips against his, allowing Marco to feel the softness moving between their lips."That's what I want to hear," Letta said amidst the kiss she gave, making Marco finally pull her waist closer to reciprocate the kiss slowly."I will tell you how much you want to hear from my mouth that I truly love you," Marco said, causing Letta to nod, though something felt uneasy in her heart. Letta tried to forge
Marco blinked as he heard the melodic sound of music near his bed. Slowly opening his eyes, he discovered a music player producing a beautiful melody. Scanning the room, Marco found no one, including Letta. He tried to sit up."Darling," Marco called out, but there was no response. Moments later, the bathroom door opened, revealing Letta in a fresh dress. Marco furrowed his brow at the sight of Letta no longer in a patient's attire."The doctor said I'm perfectly fine, so I've been discharged from the hospital and declared recovered," Letta explained, seemingly understanding her husband's gaze. She sat on the edge of the bed where Marco was."Well then, I'd like to change out of these clothes too," Marco said, prompting Letta to shake her head."You can't. Your condition isn't completely stable yet. The doctor said you need another two or three days of rest," Letta stated, causing Marco to shake his head."But these clothes are uncomfortable. I can wear my other clothes. I'll ask Pedr
Letta smiled broadly as she stood in front of the grand house she had missed for the past few weeks. Finally, Letta returned to Marco's mansion as he had requested. After Marco was discharged from the hospital, he immediately brought Letta back to their country. Marco didn't want Letta to dwell longer on the bad times that had befallen them."Are you happy we're back?" Marco asked, making Letta nod. They entered, greeted by Desi and the servants lining up on both sides of the large door."Welcome, Sir, Madam," Desi said, making Letta smile before nodding. Some servants looked a bit surprised to see Marco with a small bandage on his head and bandages still wrapped around his body under his shirt."You may resume your duties. We'll rest immediately," Marco said, making the servants nod. After that, Marco pulled Letta closer."Shall we come and rest in our room?" Letta asked, and Marco nodded."You must be very tired, right? So, we better rest right away," Marco said, making Letta glance
Marco remained fixed on his wife's beautiful face as she tied his tie, even though his mood was sour. Somehow, it only made her face look even funnier."Is this the expression my husband wears when he's about to work?" Marco said, causing Letta to glance at him briefly before refocusing on the tie in front of her."That's because my husband is very stubborn and doesn't want to listen to advice from his wife," Letta replied, still in her cold tone, making Marco smile."Come on, this is really important, so I have to get to the office right away," Marco said again."So, you prioritize that important matter over your current condition. We just arrived yesterday, and you're going straight to the office," Letta said, looking at her husband with an incredulous expression."I promise I'll only deal with that important matter and then come straight home," Marco said, making Letta fold her arms, looking at her husband with raised eyebrows."I no longer believe in your quick promises," Letta sa
With bandages still wrapped around his body, Marco truly went to check what chaos Pedro actually meant."So, explain everything," Marco said, now seated in his large chair, prompting Pedro to hurry. After that, Pedro showed the flat screen in front of him to Marco."We seem to have underestimated Jacob," Pedro said, making Marco furrow his brow after seeing the numbers and graphs on the screen. "He took all our investors in Chicago; that fatigue in my gut was a sign," Marco clenched his jaw."How could we not know anything about something this crucial?" Marco asked, making Pedro only lower his head."They really kept quiet and made decisions unilaterally," Pedro said, causing Marco to slam the table in front of him."This project is already 50% complete. How could they withdraw from it? What did that scoundrel offer?" Marco asked, and Pedro then showed him the files Marco needed to examine. After that, Marco took a long breath and looked at Pedro."What about Daddy? Does he know?" Mar
As instructed by Marco, Pedro truly took care of Marco's departure to meet the irresponsible investors in his collaborative project. Only a few investors remained, and Marco promised to regain their trust and teach them a lesson."Are you leaving tonight?" Letta asked, seeing Marco just finished a phone call. Marco turned around to look at Letta, who had been quieter since earlier. Marco also understood his wife's feelings. Even though Letta gave him permission, Marco knew that Letta must feel sad to see him go."Pedro has arranged everything, so I need to finish it quickly so I can come back and be with you again," Marco said, gently stroking the top of his wife's head and giving her a warm kiss on the forehead."When you arrive at your destination, don't forget to pay attention to your body. Look, these bandages are still perfectly attached to you. Don't forget to eat well and take your vitamins. Don't drink too much alcohol, and don't work all night. At least, you need to sleep. Yo
Letta sighed as she felt the touch bestowed by her husband, who didn't miss a single inch of her skin. Especially when the warm breath on her neck made Letta only able to grip Marco's hair, kissing his cheek. Marco, in turn, responded to his wife's delicate hand with a gentle suck on her neck, leaving a reddish trace on Letta's fair skin. Eventually, the kiss descended to her shoulders and the sensitive sides of Letta, causing Marco to momentarily gaze into his wife's eyes, which looked at him with a melancholic expression. The blush on both her cheeks added to Letta's beauty, seemingly making it difficult for Marco to restrain himself."You look beautiful," Marco whispered, making Letta smile while caressing her husband's firm jaw."And this beauty is yours," Letta said, causing Marco to grasp her hand. After that, Marco kissed her gently before continuing what he intended to do. Marco once again kissed every inch of Letta's body, descending to her sensitive sides, devouring them wit
Marco then looked at Letta, who stood in front of their large house terrace, before waving his hand again."I'll be back quickly," Marco said, making Letta nod, even though she said she was okay being left by Marco. But still, Marco could see a trace of sadness in Letta's face, with eyes that seemed teary, which she tried her best to hold back. This made Marco not want to ruin Letta's efforts in vain when saying goodbye.Marco immediately instructed Pedro to speed up his car to handle all the issues that had arisen in their big project in Chicago, while Letta could only exhale a long breath as she watched her husband's black car drive further away through the tall gates of their home.Letta then looked towards the guards assigned to watch over her, maybe around 20 or more, who were now guarding around their house. Not to mention the assigned servants also increased, making Letta truly feel that her husband was concerned about her, but couldn't cancel his departure because of his duty
As Marco had previously mentioned, he and Freya were now in the kitchen, looking at the ingredients already on the table. "So, Uncle, what are we going to make?” Freya asked, also unsure of what she should do. After all, it was Marco who had suggested making breakfast, so Freya would just follow whatever Marco instructed. Currently, besides being busy with the ingredients in front of him, Marco also had to look at recipes on his smartphone. “Wait a minute, Uncle has to find a recipe that matches the ingredients we have," Marco said again, looking a bit puzzled, making Freya immediately look at him with raised eyebrows. "Did Uncle invite me to make breakfast without any prior planning?” Freya asked, inspecting Marco's expression, which was currently glued to his phone, as he looked at the recipes that he was now reading one by one. "Yes, it was a sudden invitation from Uncle, why?" Marco asked back. "That means Uncle can't cook?" Freya asked again, making Marco finally look at his
Letta then blinked when she felt the sunlight beginning to enter through the curtains of her bedroom window, but that wasn't what made her feel different this morning. When a large hand now encircled her waist, Letta immediately turned around, seeing Marco still softly snoring behind her, and after that, Letta could only draw the corners of her lips unintentionally. The smile seemed to automatically greet her morning just because Marco was by her side. Letta didn't know since when she had longed for a morning that felt so warm like this, nor did she know since when she started feeling sleep that didn't make her feel at ease at all. Last night, when Marco said that he would definitely fall asleep comfortably, it made Letta truly feel it, to the point that she didn't even wake up in the middle of the night. Letta then turned to look at Marco, who was still closing his eyes, and for the first time, Letta could see Marco's face up close after such a long time. His high nose, his eyes tha
Finally, Letta was able to tell everything that Marco wanted to hear, recounting her entire life and the beginnings of her feelings of happiness, sadness, frustration, touched moments, and the pain she felt when leaving Marco, and enduring with Freya. Letta revealed everything to Marco so that he knew that it was what she felt when she left all the beautiful and painful memories about him. Marco then brought his face closer to Letta’s, making Letta close her eyes as she felt the warm breath of Marco enveloping her face. “Iam the cruelest yet fortunate man to have had you. I didn't know that from the beginning our fate seemed ironic, and it must have been very painful for you. And I am fortunate that you were willing to accept a man like me,” Marco said, leaving Letta silent. Letta also didn't know how she could develop such feelings for Marco. Although from the beginning, it was only the pain that Marco inflicted, it seemed that was also what made Letta have the opposite feelings f
Marco then looked in Letta's direction as she emerged from Freya's room. After that, he walked closer. "Has Freya fallen asleep?" Marco asked, making Letta nod. Letta then sat not far from Marco's position. Letta didn't know if the decision she made was right in giving Marco a chance. However, as stated by Abian and her own intuition, she felt the need to give herself a chance as well, not solely for Marco's sake. Letta wanted to experience whether she would truly be happy if she welcomed Marco back into her life. Letta was slightly taken aback when Marco reached out his hand and gently stroked her cheek. “What are you thinking?” Marco asked, eliciting a warm gaze from Letta in response. "Nothing, just thinking. Until when will you continue to stay here and sleep in the car?” Letta said, because all this time Letta actually knew that Marco didn't sleep in the hotel prepared by Pedro. Instead of sleeping comfortably, Marco always slept in his car, whether in his driveway or on the
Letta then tried to dry her wet hair with a towel because a few days ago she forgot to fix her hairdryer. So, it seemed that tonight she would sleep with wet hair. For Letta, that was not a problem. What needed to be done now was to prepare dinner for them. Letta hurriedly left the room and saw that Marco had finished cleaning himself. He had even changed into casual clothes that always concealed his figure. Letta saw Marco eating snacks that Freya fed him while watching Freya's favorite show, as she walked behind the sofa they were sitting on. “What do you want for dinner?" Letta asked as she walked towards the kitchen, making Marco look at Letta who was starting to open the refrigerator. "I want sausages and eggs, maybe with chicken," Freya said, making Letta nod before looking at Marco. "Are you also waiting for my answer?” Marco asked, making Letta look at him with raised eyebrows. "If you can eat whatever I provide," Letta said, beginning to select the ingredients in front of
Letta then chose to entrust Freya to Rose because even after evening, they still couldn't finish their current grape harvest. This made Letta rush back to approach Marco. "Are you not tired?" Letta asked, looking at Marco's sweaty face. Marco responded to Letta's gaze, now starting to pick grapes again. "Actually, I should be asking that. Aren't you tired? You should just go home with Freya, and I can finish it. Besides, there's just a little left," Marco said, causing Letta to shake her head. "I can't let you harvest the grapes alone. You might not finish until night. So, we can do it together. It will be better that way," Letta said, making Marco finally agree. They then accelerated their movements because the sun had started to set, and it needed to be done quickly to store it in the warehouse. It took about 2 hours, but they finally managed to finish it. Marco immediately carried the grapes into the warehouse, while Letta tidied up the equipment they used. Letta then approache
Letta and Freya gazed at Marco, who had now changed into suitable clothing for going to the vineyard. Although his pants were a bit short, Letta couldn't help but think that whatever Marco wore always seemed to suit him. Perhaps it was because of his handsome face, which made Freya smile. "Isn't uncle looking funny?" she said, causing Letta to shake her head. "Is my appearance that bad?” Marco asked, realizing that Freya was laughing at him, but he just shook his head. "Not bad, just that uncle looks funny in those pants,” he said, making Marco smile. "Alright, then I'm ready to help with your grape harvest today. What's my task?” Marco asked, making Letta and Freya smile at each other before taking some tools and handing them to Marco. "So, your main task is just to follow us. Later you'll know what I do at the vineyard,” Letta said, and Marco finally followed Letta and Freya's footsteps. Occasionally, Marco looked at Freya, who was chatting with her mother. Sometimes Freya laugh
Marco was slightly startled when someone suddenly knocked on the car window, prompting him to blink and focus his gaze on the window. Letta was trying to peer into the car as the car Marco was driving couldn't be seen from the outside. Marco lowered the car window, revealing Letta's displeased expression as she glared at him. "Don't tell me you've been sleeping in this car all night?" Letta asked, making Marco look around before responding, "Yes, as you can see." "I apologize. Are you bothered by my presence? But I'm not taking up much space in your yard. This car isn't that big, right?" Marco replied, making Letta snort. "That's not the problem, you stalker. What if people around here see you? What if they say you're a stalker or a bad person?" Letta said, making Marco smile. "What people? Aren't there just a few houses here? Besides, look at the distance. I'm just being cautious, in case there's a bad person who might harm you,” Marco said with his absurd reasoning, leaving Lett
267.146.we can be happyLetta tried to avoid Marco, who was now following her and constantly blocking her path. Letta also didn't want to fight in someone else's house, especially when Abian was sick. This made Letta rush to her house, although in the midst of her steps, Marco once again prevented her. Fortunately, this wasn't a crowded place, and there was only a vineyard illuminated by dim lights, allowing Letta to express whatever she was feeling to Marco."You hurt me by gripping me so tightly,” Letta said, making Marco finally try to loosen his grip, but not letting go even a bit. Marco was afraid that Letta would leave him again, and it would be difficult for Marco to find Letta again if she completely got away."Please, listen to me first," Marco said, making Letta try to bite her lower lip as hard as she could. Letta didn't know, perhaps she would hurt herself, but that was all she could do to express her anger right now."There's nothing more we can talk about. I don't want t
