Farel gasped and then froze in an instant. Meanwhile, Lily quickly restrained Keenan's hand which had been clenched tightly.
"What are you doing?" asked Keenan in a voice that held a hint of anger. He was about to return to the study. However, the noise from Farel's room ruined his plans.
The four-year-old boy looked down as he wrung his fingers. "I-I was just playing with the playhouse."
"He was just playing. Please don't scold him," Lily whispered.
She shook her head softly with eyes that almost stopped blinking as Keenan began to pick up his pace. Just as he was about to approach Farel, her cold husband stopped and took a sidekick position.
"Is your bed uncomfortable?" he asked later. "You don't like the picture?" Farel shook his head. "Or the color?" Again the boy shook his head softly. Keenan frowned
"Jum?" Lily who had just come out of the room was startled by the presence of the butler who was already standing behind her. "Who are you looking for?""Uh, he." The middle-aged woman lightly rubbed the back of her neck with an exasperated smile. "Mr. Keenan. Are you awake yet?""Probably. The bed is so neat." Lily replied casually. What she had just said made Jum frown as she turned her mouth upside down. Had the newlyweds not spent the night together last night? That was what was on her mind. Just as she was about to ask further questions, the sound of clattering footsteps made them quickly turn their heads."Sir?""What time is it already, Jum? Why are you late bringing me tea?" Keenan's gaze was intimidating. It made Mbok Jum look down in guilt."I'm sorry, sir. I thought last night you and Ma'am Lily were""What?" cut off Keenan quickly. "Don't talk so much. Just do your job here properly." After that, Lily's new husband quickly turned around and walked away to the nort
Lily closed her eyes while squeezing the cloth in front of her. Not to mention that she was breathing heavily. The beautiful woman's fear seemed unwarranted. Especially since she was now fine. Even her waist was tightly embraced by a burly arm that was still attached to it. "Keenan??" she whimpered with reflexively widened eyes. "Don't be careless next time." Keenan hurriedly stood up straight and unhooked his hands from Lily's body. "Thank you." Her husband had no intention of replying even with a nod of his head. Lily hurriedly closed the door to her room. "Huffh!" Her breath hitched harshly as she recalled the incident just now. If Keenan hadn't quickly restrained her, now it would have been either her hands, feet, or butt that hurt from falling onto the marble floor earlier. Her son was currently getting ready in his room. Meanwhile, Lily was anxiously waiting for Keenan who had been bathing since five minutes ago. "You can use the facili
Lily hissed softly after straightening up. Her steps became shaky because of the fall just now. Unfortunately. The car was getting closer. It had even blocked her way."Why are you running?"The cold, flat voice made him look up quickly. "Keenan?""Why? Who do you think I am, huh? A kidnapper?" said Keenan, who was already holding his nose while looking at him sarcastically."Sorry, I thought it was-""Come in. Don't waste any more of my time," cut Keenan off quickly. The man then immediately stepped into the car. While the driver opened the other door for Lily. Huh. The woman cursed inwardly. She had forgotten that her husband had many luxury vehicles. That's why she didn't recognize the color and license plate of a car that she wasn't familiar with."Today I'm on the afternoon shift. I'll be home by midnight," squeaked Lily, explaining why she was on the streets
Lily's eyebrows knitted together after hearing Keenan's voice just now. Didn't her husband forbid it earlier? Why is it like this? Meanwhile, Farel looked at the couple in turn."You can go, but don't stay overnight," Keenan muttered after finishing his breakfast.Lily nodded faintly even though her heart felt resentful. "Alright. Then we'll leave in a bit. Okay?""Just now. I'll wait in the car." Farel cheered happily. However, Lily let out a long sigh because she couldn't protest anymore. As a result, she quickly returned to the room to get her bag."Daddy is so handsome. Isn't he, Mom?" murmured Farel who was now sitting in the middle of them. Lily and Keenan looked at each other then both quickly broke eye contact. "Mom?""I-yeah," Lily replied briefly."Oh yeah. You're handsome too, rig
It was not only Lily who was surprised by the arrival of the person just now. The neighbors who were judging her earlier were equally surprised. They whispered to each other while glancing at the man."What's going on?" Keenan asked as he put his arm around Lily's shoulders. Then he stared at each of them one by one."It's nothing. We were just asking Lily," one of them replied. "It's only natural that we're suspicious. Lily and her son suddenly left here. When we asked her aunt and uncle, they said she was married. We thought something was strange.""Yes. There should have been news like that long ago," added another. Lily looked down and squeezed the hem of her shirt. She was afraid that Keenan would speak out of emotion or that he would be demeaning her uncle's family. Until then, the cold man could be heard
"Already, mom. I'm full." Farel shook his head as he moved his mouth away from the spoon held by his mother."Okay. Did Daddy say you had a stomachache?" asked Lily after finishing her breakfast as well. "Nausea or something, hmm?""It doesn't hurt now. I'm just going to my room.""I'll come later, dear. I'm going to take a shower first," Lily murmured as she gently stroked the top of her son's head. Farel nodded. The boy then quickly left the dining room. He looked down as soon as he saw Keenan who passed him. Lily had now arrived at her room. She had just cleaned herself up and sat quietly on the sofa. Not long after, Keenan walked in and took a seat in front of her."Is he not mad at me anymore?" asked the cold-hearted handsome man."We still haven't talked. I could only persuade him to have breakfast," replied Lily who quickly closed her mouth which was yawning widely. "You can just go. It's okay." After that, Lily quickly closed her eyes
Lily shook her head slowly. "It's nothing. It's just a bruise.""Alright," Keenan replied briefly. He didn't want to think about something as trivial as that. He ordered the driver to drive the car in front of him. "You guys go home.""What about you?" Farel asked innocently."There will be another car to pick you up." Farel quickly complied and got into the car. Inevitably, the boy kissed the back of Keenan's hand. However, when Lily was about to do the same, a loud voice from behind distracted her. A man in a formal suit like her husband walked over with a smile. His gaze was fixed on Lily with a look that was very difficult to interpret. It wasn't long before he smiled."Wow, who is this? It looks clear even. If it's a crush, I don't think it's possible."Keenan chuckled softl
"Asih, don't talk nonsense," scolded Jum, who felt bad about her member's attitude. "Apologize to you!""Why do I have to apologize? What did I do wrong?" The waitress named Asih remained hard-hearted. Lily, who had just stuffed three mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, quickly smiled. "Never mind, ma'am. It's okay. Normally, Asih doesn't feel guilty. She seems to be used to saying that." Lily showed no offense at all. She continued, "I just know enough. Oh yes. A person's attitude reflects where they come from, doesn't it? Even if gold is thrown into the gutter, it will still be valuable, whereas even if a carcass is placed in a flower garden, it will still be seen as disgusting." Strong words intended to satirize Asih indeed. It was evident that the woman who was only a few years younger than her was confus
