Chapter 53
Aura closed the book she had just finished reading entitled Looking For Dragon's Bone, then smiled a little. Although the novel was not exactly her favourite genre (she preferred darker stories like Stephen King), she had to admit that she really enjoyed the story. The story was about a female commander-in-chief at the palace, who was looking for a dragon bone to give to the king. The dragon bone was used to cure ailments the illness that the king had suffered for a long time. The protagonist of the story had only three months to find the Dragon's bone due to the king's increasingly critical condition of health to live. While sticking to her mission, she tried to find the dragon's hiding place. On the way, she met a beautiful woman who caught her eye while wearing a pink hanfu that matched well her skin tone. She was complacent, forgot her quest to find dragon bones and instead spent her time approaching the mysterious woman. In the end, she just f

Marie took a sip of champagne in her third glass while listening intently to the conversation of her husband's parents—Ernest Gilbert and Cornelia Gilbert—who invited her to chat with their friends. In her heart, she began to question the gloomy attitude that Keith always showed at the beginning of their marriage that she just realized was indeed strange. How could these two people who have a cheerful, with their warm personality and always welcome whatever awaits them with high enthusiasm (it could even go to an exaggerated stage; it was her temporarily guessing) could give birth to a cute-faced man with a super gloomy and stiff personality like Keith Gilbert?It was weird enough for her. Fate was indeed moving in unpredictable directions.That was the only conclusion she came to after she met her husband's parents several times.Correction. More precisely, after she spent four hours talking to her parents-in-law today. The last time she met her husban

Marie saw that her husband rolled his eyes after his parent left him, then facing her."They didn't say anything weird about me during my absence, did they?""As far as I know," she said, laughing with amusement at Keith's cute reaction. "Apart from telling you how bad you were at school, nothing. Really""Oh, shit… even though I want you to only know my good side. My mom always likes to get involved in people's business," Keith took a deep breath for a moment, then took her hand. "Well, whatever. We'd better go somewhere quieter. Come with me.""I have no problem staying here.""No problem?" the man frowned, looking her up and down. The man's non-gripping hand touched her cheek, channelling the man's warm temperature over her body. "With this pale, looking tired face?""I thought my makeup could cover it up.""It might be able to trick everyone's eyes, but not mine," Keith took her hand, led her out of the hallwa

Keith froze when he heard the words that had just slipped out of Marie's lips, which were smeared with the dark red lip cream. He swallowed hard repeatedly, staring at Marie, who was waiting anxiously for his answer."Has something been on your mind recently, Marie?" he said after he had recovered from his shock, tried to dodge her question. "I told you earlier. You can tell me anything, and I will try—"“Don't try to dodge my question just now, Keith. Just answer my question earlier," Marie snapped harshly. This was the first time she had done to him. It seemed that the woman was losing her temper and needed an immediate answer. The problem was, what kind of answer should he give to Marie? All the choices he had were difficult for him.If he said yes to the promise she made, it meant that he would have to tell his wife about another identity as the leader of the Aldebrando mafia group that he has been trying to hide tightly from her, at the risk of the

Aura's eyes flickered as she turned and found Patricia coming out of her room, wearing a midi dress with a light blue flare skirt that matched the woman's spring-type skin tone, light beige wedges, and a small bag that matched the colour of her wedges, which hung over the woman's left shoulder, perfecting her appearance.At least, her struggle to wait for the woman for twenty minutes—while she was also using that time to looking for the information Keith requested the other day through her smartphone with an application she created by herself so that she could stay connected to her computer at home all the day—was not in vain. It all paid off with Patricia's appearance that was so charming in her eyes until she did not know what to say to compliment her perfect appearance.Patricia's short, light brown shoulder-length hair was only pinned on the right side with a butterfly-shaped clip, after styling it with a hair iron to make it slightly wavy. The make-up

It has been several hours since Alan finished discussing with Keith about Arthur Hermann's case that he just got from Victor yesterday, also listening to Keith's request about a journalist, which he found was a bit strange, actually. He had no other choice but to comply with his boss's request if he still wanted to keep his job and returned to the room where Tatius was waiting for him, but there was neither of them tried to break the silence they made. Tatius himself was busy with his own thoughts, which he did not know what the man was thinking. All he could do was guessing his boyfriend's mind while thinking about the right questions to ask his boyfriend for fear that his recently more sensitive boyfriend would get angry. Most likely, he guessed that the man was still worrying about his plans to introduce the man to his parents, as well as his plans to coming out to reveal his identity as pansexual, which to the best of his knowledge was the most taboo in his religion before he ch

Patricia watched in amazement as soon as she got out of her car after Aura took the initiative to open the car door for her and arrived at Keith's parent's house, which was already filled with so many people. For the size of a small cafe owner, Keith's parents' house was quite large, which surprised her a little as she had thought the party would be held on a small scale.But that was not what surprised her. It was also not for entering the house to find that many banquets of food and drink were available on the long table in the living room and at the warm welcome of Keith's parents, whom she had not seen for a long time when she saw their presence. A husband and wife with a warm, cheerful personality immediately made her feel like she has just returned home, very different from Keith's personality that the man always wore, which she thought was a little gloomy behind his cute face. The difference with their parents, who were very concerned about prestige and the views of

Cecilia Esther sipped red wine, which was one of the wines she got for free from Charles Hermann's vineyard—her adoptive father, who she already thought him as her own father because her biological parents had died when she was four years old—slowly looking out the view of Rose city from the chaise lounge on the balcony, which also served as a mini garden for the penthouse.The penthouse where she lived now since she managed to move from her grandfather's mansion to the penthouse that she bought from her hard work as a freelance financial analyst since four years ago so as not to continuedly depending on her grandparents. She was bringing along her adoptive father, who initially refused her offer at first, but then he decided to followed her once she used her puppy eyes looks that always managed in making her adoptive father had no choice but to indulge her wishes. Indeed, her grandparents never bothered her existence in the family—especially her grandmother b

Tatius listened attentively to Keith's explanation of the detail of what he should do in the cafe on his first day he worked here. Starting from welcoming guests in a friendly manner and not forgetting to make eye contact when greeting customers to make customers feel comfortable. That part he felt was not a problem, as it was what he did usually at his old workplace, when he was still working as a waiter. But what made him a little confused was when he had to ask the customer's name and memorize every customer's habit in every detail.Realizing his confusion, Keith paused for his long explanation, looking at her worriedly. "Do you think it's too difficult for you to do the last part? You can skip the section on remembering the details of a customer's habits if you'd like. It's not a necessity, only if you can, it's even better."
