Chapter 11
Today's dinner was a mess.
Marie stood in front of Keith Gilbert's bedroom which was half-opened, staring at her husband who was already asleep on his bed without having time to change his clothes. Maybe he was already too tired. Half of his body was on the floor. Trying not to make any sound that would wake him up, she approached her husband. Correcting his sleeping position while taking off the shoes that the man was wearing slowly, then put a blanket on him.
Patricia was right. She really was a fool. She should not have filed for that damn contract marriage in the first place. She should have thought of some other way to approach him without stressing him out around her. She was too reckless, and now she regrets her decision. Only then did she see her husband's figure up close. Compared to when she first met him, the current Keith was much thinner. His face was so pale. When he scolded her at a dinner that should have been the perfect time to sta

"Keith! What are you doing here? I told you not to go into the kitchen, right?!"Marie shrieked as soon as she realized he was in the kitchen. Her face blushed violently, pushed him out of the kitchen, made him subconsciously grin at his wife's hard work. Then he paused, froze, and realized what he had just done.Strange. Even though until yesterday, Marie was still cold to him. Never say anything long. Always concise, full of threatening and arrogant tone. But now, in front of him, he instead found a clumsy woman who had just tried so hard to make a breakfast menu that she managed to destroy their kitchen.And to add it worse, he smiled at her for trying her best to make him breakfast.He cleared his throat, trying to cover up the fact that he had just been touched by Marie's effort this morning. "I just wanted to say thanks for the breakfast.""You can say after I finished washing the di

"Keith. I'm not asking for this much cream," said one of her regulars, Olive Hemmington, who pointed to a glass of cold cappuccino filled with cream until it spilt out of the glass. He hurriedly apologized, replacing the woman's order with a new one. While patting his cheeks hard, creating a reddish mark that feels hot on his cheeks, he dictated his mind to stay focused.For the past hour, it had brought him back into focus. Then it fell apart an hour later. Starting from him who put too much sugar in espresso coffee. Giving croissants to customers who ordered macaroni. Almost gave customers change that was more than the total should be. It was difficult to concentrate after what Marie had just done to him this morning.Making him a very delicious breakfast. Forcing him to accept her offer to drive him to work. Then ended with a kiss and said 'have a nice day', and asked him to wait for her after his shift ends.Shit. What was wrong wit

It had been fifteen minutes since his working shift hours ended, but he still had not found Marie's car parked in front of his cafe. Even though he had already told Marie that he would be home at five in the afternoon. Where was that woman?While waiting for the figure of Marie who had not yet appeared, he read the file that his subordinate had just sent via his smartphone. It was just his usual routine. The demand for the additional stock of firearms from various brands in the southern warehouse was starting to run low. He messaged his representatives in the south, giving him permission to do so. He has also grudgingly granted permission for guarding the prostitution business in the north. In fact, at the beginning of his acceptance of his new position as Aldebrando leader, he planned to close the prostitution business.Back when h

Keith looked around in amazement, questioning why she had invited him to this place. He could not guess what the woman was thinking at all, so all he could do now was just hush and just followed Marie's request. The woman herself had not said a word since they got there, only went to the back of her car and took out a large dark blue bag with a large vertical stripe of white that looked heavy. Being raised as a gentleman made him intend to help carry the bag when he saw that Marie seemed difficult while carrying the bag. But instead of letting him carry the bag, the woman glared sharply at him, as if what he was planning to do just now was an unforgivable big sin for her."Do you think I can't carry it by myself?"He gave up, raised his hands, let her carry the bag while asked him to follow her. He complied, following her without saying anything. His hands were tucked into the pockets of his light brown coat, glancing around occasionally at the lake he had never

If she could scream now, she would do it right now.If she could jump happily now, she would also do it right now.But she could not do that now, given the fact that she was with her cute husband in her favourite place that she decided to share this place with him. If she did not remember that it would destroy her image in the eyes of that cute twenty-three-year-old man named Keith Gilbert.Seeing Keith's happy face as soon as she allowed the man to adopt a beagle named Larch—one of the dogs she took from her previous owner, an irresponsible drunk middle-aged man after receiving reports from her staff at the shelter telling her about the abused dogs report that they received from the neighbours. She still remembered that event as at that time
Our Agreement Chapter 17
Keith took off his anti-radiation goggles, massaged between his eyebrows that were tensed as he kept staring at the computer screen for most of the night to read the report documents of his men. The clock on the screen of his iMac was already three in the morning. That means, he had spent his time in the room for five hours in his room after taking care of the needs Larch needed after returning from the park. The female beagle herself was fast asleep on his bed after he struggled to get the dog to sleep in the room he had prepared (after asking Marie's approval, of course), and ended in failure. Fortunately, Larch was not an active type of dog. His attitude actually reminded him of a cat. So calm and calm. Not the type of dog who was too loud. It suited him. His intuition was never wrong.Leaning his back on the chair, he looked up at the ceiling of his room. Talking about intuition made him remember the strange feeling he had earlier. As if someone was watching them. His

Marie walked out of her room when she smelled the aroma of coffee that spread to their house. Considering yesterday that she had moved all her schedules forward to have more free time with Keith, it did not take long for her to fall asleep as soon as her body touched the bed.Keith's figure, who stood with his back to her in the kitchen made her sleepiness disappear instantly. Slowly, as she tried hard not to make any sound that might be distracted him, she pulled out a chair at the dining table then sat down to support her head with her hands resting on the empty dining table. Her eyes watched all of Keith's movements, and it seemed that the man did not notice her presence as he was now busy measuring the Arabica coffee beans that had just been refined from the grinder using a digital scale.It was unusual for Keith to make coffee in their mansion for breakfast, although she had bought all the supplies the man would need to make coffee in their mansion a few
Our Agreement Chapter 19
Alan played with his smartphone, could no longer hide his excitement as he read an email from Keith containing two flight tickets from Rose city to Bali and the villa they would stay in when they were in Bali a few minutes ago. He had thought that Keith was just kidding when he said it because it was unusual for Keith to bother himself preparing everything for him. "Really!? Thanks, Alan! I'm really happy!" His lips formed a smile, before chuckling at the thought of Tatius' reaction as he jumped with joy when he announced Keith had given him a week off. His boyfriend replied it with great enthusiasm. Even immediately asked for leave from his superior who immediately granted without asking further, considering the performance of Tatius at work—an Italian restaurant was known for their authentic c
