Imperfect Husband 61
Caraline and Diego were still at the dinner table. After the conversation about the Otopixel CEO's desire to meet Deric, there was no conversation for the next few minutes. Both of two were focused on enjoying the meal and the music."Did uou know Universe Corporation will be holding the biggest talent search event in the country in a few months? The grand winner of that event will be contracted by Art Media, one of their company for several years. As we all know, artists under their management go on to achieve great success," Diego said, breaking the silence, "I think it's a good opportunity for you to work with them. It will attract the attention of the whole country.""You're not bragging, are you?" asked Caraline, "I heard that the Universe Corporation doesn't like to divulge some of their agendas to the public. They prefer to surprise the public with unexpected news.""Henry Hulbert told me that himself," Diego said, adjusting his suit jacket. "I don't know, even though it was th

Caraline gripped the phone tightly. The ticking of the clock filled the sudden silence. However, Caraline's consciousness gradually returned. When it did, her eyes flew wide open."What did I say?!" Caraline screamed in a stifled voice. The cell phone she had been holding tightly was accidentally thrown. Fortunately, it landed on the rug under the bed.Caraline suddenly backed up until her body hit the wall. Unexpectedly, the cell phone repeated Deric's voice message.[Good night and thank you for today]Caraline covered both ears. She also stomped the floor to get Deric out of her mind, then disappeared into dust. "Stop it!"Caraline choked up when she heard the bell ring. She quickly checked outside on the small screen by the door. "Diego."Caraline quickly tapped her palms together, letting out a long breath. Once ready, she opened the door, putting on a straight face as if nothing had happened."What happened?" asked Diego, "did I hear you suddenly scream?"Caraline rotated her ey

Caraline glanced at Diego. She had forgotten that he had sharp ears. " I didn't like dogs as a child. When my late sister left me the dog, I couldn't resist, of course.""Oh, so it's kind of like getting used to love," Diego said, "it can't be easy."Caraline coughed. She refused Diego's drink. Used to love? Seriously, she thought."I didn't like my father as a child either," Diego said, looking up at the twilight sky. His hands were at his sides. He looked back at Caraline briefly, then returned his gaze to the sky.Diego continued, "He was a strict father, he didn't like to be argued with, and he didn't even hesitate to spank me if I made the slightest mistake. However, as I grew up and got to know the realities of life, I felt that my father was too soft on me. No matter right or wrong, the world will always hurt you if you stay in the same place. I miss my father now."Caraline crossed her legs, giving a small nod of approval."What about you, don't you come from the wealthy Watts

Caraline was stunned when a voice suddenly emerged from her mind. Her breathing suddenly accelerated several times over. Her body immediately collapsed onto the bed where her eyes widened to scan the surroundings. It was like the woman was forcibly thrown into the real world. It took several seconds for her consciousness to return."Oh my," Caraline whispered as she rubbed her face, massaging her forehead slowly. Her breathing was the dominant sound that filled the large room. "How did that memory come back?"Just as Caraline was about to get up from the bed, the sound of her cell phone startled her. Deric's name was immediately displayed on the screen. She quickly switched off the line without a second thought. "What the hell is Deric calling me for, he's so clueless!"Caraline sat in front of the dressing table. She had warned Helen and the maids not to inform Deric of her whereabouts. She wanted to be free to take a vacation and relax without the man's shadow. But, the paralyzed ma

Deric was at the edge of the lake. His face was still etched with a smile as he glanced at the small box he had prepared since yesterday. He had spent the whole day walking around and taking pictures with his camera. Deric no longer asked Helen or the maids about Caraline's whereabouts. He believed that Caraline would return to the house sooner or later. He suspected that Caraline was busy with work, or perhaps visiting somewhere to unwind. Instead of being annoyed, Deric felt calm when he didn't get an answer when he called Caraline. As long as the call was connected, he believed she was fine. "I'd better hurry," Deric said as he moved the wheelchair forward. The man circled the lake. The maple leaves seemed to fall as if welcoming his presence. He stopped somewhere, then took a bag from under the wheelchair. Deric began his work there. He moved from one side to the other as he attached some accessories to some tree trunks and also a wooden fence that led to the lake. Although his

Caraline suddenly tensed up after pressing the button. She occasionally tucked a lock of hair behind her ear that had somehow fallen back over the front of her face. Her breathing sounded heavy as if she was waiting for important news.Caraline was instantly quiet when the sound of the device started. She strained her ears as best she could.[Hi, you're doing well over there, right? I'm glad you ignored my call, it's a sign that you're still the Caraline I know]"What a freak!" sneered Caraline as she stopped the recording. Afterward, she played the voice message again.[Actually, I have a request. A few days ago, I wanted to tell you about it. But, it seems that you are still busy with work. So, I thought I could wait a bit.Exactly a few hours from now, I turn twenty-five years old. Time seems short to me. A few years ago, I wanted to become a professional basketball player. However, that seemed too far away for me to achieve after realizing my current condition. Therefore, on my cu

Diego was taken aback when Caraline's face sagged towards his chest. The man felt his heart rate increase twice as fast. He quickly gave the musicians the code to leave the venue.Time was ticking away. Diego still faithfully used his chest as a pillow for Caraline. He dozed off for a while and when he woke up it was three in the morning.Diego enjoyed that more than any pleasure he'd ever had. Caraline's charms were a feast for his eyes as well as his heart. His sleepiness suddenly vanished into thin air. This was an opportunity that wouldn't come around twice.Diego wanted to take Caraline to his room so she could fall asleep in comfort. However, he didn't want to wake the CEO of the Mimiline Group and make her think anything when he picked her up.Diego took in Caraline's beautiful features. The woman had a sharp gaze, haughty and seductive at the same time. On top of that, Caraline was blessed with fair skin and a well-proportioned body, it was obvious that the woman cared for her

Caraline was instantly stunned when she heard Deric's voice. Her cell phone slowly moved away from her ear. Her jaw was so rotten that her mouth gaped like a cave. As time passed, her fear gradually subsided. When her condition slowly stabilized, the woman quickly wiped away tears, turning around."I'm here," Deric said with a smile.Caraline looked at the wheelchair lying nearby. The woman looked at Deric and the object several times in a turn. "What the hell is going on?"Caraline backed away slowly. She almost thought Deric had fallen into the lake and drowned. Although she knew that the man could swim, the depth of the lake was not something that the disabled man could easily handle.However, in reality, Caraline saw Deric in the canoe, sitting with his hand on the paddle. Meanwhile, his legs seemed to be aligned and there was no sign of movement."Is the cold making your tears fall?" Deric asked."What the hell are you DOING!" screeched Caraline in a raised voice at the end of th
