Letta immediately turned to face someone who was now patting her shoulder. After that, she fell silent when she saw a man smiling and looking at her."Hi, long time no see. How are you?" the man asked, leaving Letta speechless before furrowing her brow. Is he one of the friends I forgot, Letta thought, now only able to smile awkwardly."Yeah, I'm fine," Letta replied, trying to adjust to the situation and his question. Letta also didn't know whether the person was really someone she knew before or not, because Marco had once said that there were many people around them who might have ill intentions toward her and Marco. That made Letta realize that she seemed to have been out for too long, and she also didn't know how far the distance was from her current location to the hotel."Thankfully, I also see you in good condition right now. I didn't know if you were pregnant too. That's happy news, but why didn't Marco ever tell our family?" Jacob said, examining every expression that Letta
Marco didn't hesitate when he immediately left the casino, abandoning all the work he had to attend to, upon hearing the news that Letta had disappeared from the hotel. He was convinced to go straight to the hotel and upon arrival, he could see several guards bowing to greet his arrival."So, should I eliminate each one of you to show you how to take care of my wife?" Marco said, leaving them silent and bowing even lower."Don't make me angrier. Move quickly and find Letta. Deploy all your guards to find her as soon as possible," Marco said, looking at Pedro, who then looked at his subordinates, and they all scattered to find Letta.Meanwhile, Letta began to approach the guards who seemed to be searching for her, and her guess was confirmed when the black-clad guards approached her."Madam, we were looking for you earlier. Are you okay?" one of the guards asked, making Letta nod her head."Yes, I'm fine. I was just strolling, enjoying the hustle and bustle here. I didn't realize I had
Marco then stepped towards Letta, who had just come out of the bathroom with a bathrobe still enveloping her body. Her hair seemed to be wrapped in a small towel, making Marco smile. Letta walked towards the wardrobe and took her nightwear before reentering the bathroom. Marco remained silent, watching his wife leave with raised eyebrows. Was the smile she had just shown so terrifying that it scared Letta, Marco thought, which ultimately made him find it amusing. A few minutes later, Letta emerged again after putting on her nightwear and sat on their bed."Why did you run earlier?" Marco asked, making Letta look at her husband while rolling her eyes lazily."Of course, because when you showed that smile that worried me, I knew what was going on in your mind when you saw me still wearing the bathrobe. So, I secured myself immediately because I was really tired," Letta said, making Marco laugh. It turned out that his wife had quite a good sense of defense, Marco thought. Marco then put
Marco furrowed his brow in his sleep as he felt something tickling his earlobe, causing him to finally brush it away before falling back asleep. However, after a while, something disturbed him again, whether it was a tickle on his nose, ear, or a puff of air. Marco slowly blinked his eyes open to see Letta smiling broadly at him. His wife was clearly intent on disrupting his morning, prompting Marco to reach out and playfully pinch Letta's cheek."Come on, I'm still sleepy. What time is it?" Marco asked, still closing his eyes, causing Letta to sigh in frustration."Come on, it's already noon. You should have been up a while ago," Letta replied, but Marco only responded with a murmur as if truly needing his sleep. Letta tried to tease her husband again, but it seemed like Marco was really holding back, as if not disturbed at all. Despite promising to take her for a walk, because Pedro had called him late at night, Marco had forgotten his promise to Letta."Come on, wake up. Didn't you
Letta smiled widely when her husband finally complied with her wishes. Now, Letta was sitting next to Marco in a sports car, embracing him. Marco looked at her as he was about to start the car's engine, then shook his head."Not just a little annoyed," Marco said, causing Letta to pout."If you're upset, why did you follow my desire? You should have just stayed in bed earlier," Letta said, making Marco sigh deeply."If I kept sleeping, you would have been annoyed, and maybe even angry with me," Marco replied."But I don't want to go for a walk with someone who is upset, it wouldn't be enjoyable," Letta said, seemingly testing her husband's patience."Okay, okay, fine, I'm not upset anymore. I was just slightly annoyed earlier when you woke me up teasingly, but you didn't let me touch you," Marco said, causing Letta to pull the corner of her lips."That's because if you touched me, it would have taken up more time, and our journey would have been delayed again," Letta said."Come on, w
After enjoying a baseball match, Marco drove his car to one of the city's aquariums, called the Shedd Aquarium. The Shedd Aquarium is the largest indoor aquarium in the world, housing thousands of different species. This has earned it numerous awards, which piqued Letta's curiosity. Earlier, Letta had inquired about fascinating things in Chicago, and Marco suggested that this aquarium might be to Letta's liking."Is it still far away?" Letta asked, prompting Marco to nod."Yes, we're almost there. Why?" Marco asked."No, I just want to eat something. It seems she's getting hungry," Letta said, making Marco gaze at her round stomach. A few minutes earlier, Letta had just devoured a large bag of candy, popcorn, and a hot dog, not to mention the juice and salad she had already consumed. Marco fell silent before attempting to understand his wife's appetite."What do you want right now? Don't say you want something sweet like ice cream or anything else," Marco said again, making Letta shak
Letta really took her husband to spend the whole day exploring the city of Chicago. Although initially Marco was a bit reluctant due to lack of sleep, seeing his wife's wide smile erased all his annoyance and drowsiness. Currently, the lights adorning the night sky in Chicago looked enchanting, especially when Letta gazed in awe at the beautiful waterfall, as if it were dancing before them. They were at Buckingham Fountain, one of the famous waterfalls in the world, known to attract many tourists with its beauty."Can we also make a waterfall like this in our backyard?" Letta asked, making Marco stare straight at the waterfall in front of them."If we make it, it will surely attract the attention of people and tourists in our country. Do you want our house to be visited by many people?" Marco asked nonchalantly, making Letta look at her husband with a displeased expression. Although Letta knew that Marco could do it and was capable of making the waterfall just for himself, it seemed l
A short while ago, Letta was still admiring the beauty of the dancing waterfall in front of her when a tap made her turn around and smile, but the smile faded. When someone in all black bowed in front of her, Letta thought it was Marco coming to take his coat and scarf."Sorry, ma'am, the master asked me to escort you to the car because he said you both must return immediately as he has an urgent matter to attend to," the guard with the black glasses perched on his nose said."Why didn't Marco come to pick me up himself?" Letta asked."Sorry, ma'am, the master is on the phone and he's afraid to leave you for too long, so he instructed me to come and get you quickly, as he's concerned that something dangerous might be lurking around," the guard explained, making Letta finally nod."Okay, then let's go back," Letta said, but as Letta was about to take the path they had previously taken, the guard stopped her again."The master has already driven his car and will be waiting at the end of
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
