Chapter 63
When Silje went into her house, breathless from Kail’s kiss, Olga was sitting on the sofa looking gloomy like the winter weather. Silje always felt sick whenever she saw Olga like this, but for some reason, Silje didn’t feel as bad as before.
“Do you know what happened to me when I was brought to my grandfather for the first time? He whipped me.”
Remembering Kail’s story, Silje took a short breath and calmly said to Olga, “I’m home. Sorry I’m late. I was at the city library studying.”
Olga didn’t say a word and glared at her, but Silje repeated, “I stayed too late studying. I’m going to go to bed now, Mom.”
Her adoptive mother’s look showed skepticism, but Silje quietly left the living room. When she got into her bedroom, she smiled.
It was a memorable day. The happiness she felt with Kail still remained with her like the bright star in the dark night sky.

Then he took her to the store to buy her a ski outfit.At first, Silje adamantly refused, “Kail, I don’t need that. It’s not like I go skiing often.”Kail looked at her silently before emphasizing his reply, “Then let me ask you one thing. Will you never go skiing with me after this? Is that it? Are you saying it will never happen again?”He was always like this. He didn’t outright force her, but he convinced her by cornering her with his own logic. Silje had no choice but to reply, “You don’t have to be like that. And no, I’m not saying I will never go skiing with you again.”Nodding in satisfaction, Kail handed his credit card to the clerk.“Here, put everything on this.”Si

Kail flew toward her like lightning and pushed Silje out of the way. She fell onto the snow, but she was able to avoid crashing with the middle-aged woman.“Oh, my head hurts…”Silje murmured as she touched her head.Kail saved her again. She could’ve been hurt very badly, but he saved her.Was Kail okay? Silje moaned as she tried to stand up. When she turned around, she spotted Kail standing there just fine as the middle-aged woman apologized to him.“Kail!”Silje walked to him as fast as she could and said to him in a rough voice, “Kail? Are you okay? Are you hurt? Should we go to the hospital?”Kail’s forehead was bleeding since it had been scratched by his goggles. Calmly, he replied, “Gosh, I got hurt because of somebody, so that somebody should give me a thank-you kiss, don’t you think?”Thank-you kiss?Standing on the bright snowy slope, Silj

Kail sat down leisurely and smiled as Silje blinked in awe. She knew it was going to be beautiful, but the scene in front of her was much more than what she could ever have imagined.Fresh air, the blue Scandinavian ocean, and the fjord.Her heart beat fast as she gasped for breath.It was amazing.The beauty she witnessed out the window was otherworldly. Silje couldn’t take her eyes off the windows. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her life and she wondered if she was dreaming.Kail grinned, looking at Silje like she was a young child going on a picnic for the first time. At first she thought he was laughing at her, but when he caressed her hair, she flinched in surprise. When she turned to him, Kail said to her in a gravelly voice, “Just enjoy this moment.”She wasn’t sure if he meant anything by it, but he just smiled.Clink.Silje suddenly heard a clear sound and realized that Kai

Did Kail feel the same way?When they returned to the living room, Kail hugged Silje tightly. He trapped her in his arms, and quietly he told her his story.That night, it was just the two of them.His green eyes were fixed on hers and in his usual gloomy voice, he whispered to her.“When I was young, I was afraid of lightning and thunder. Whenever there was a rainstorm, my mother would sing a lullaby for me. She would tell me that the big ocean waves were nothing to be afraid of. She would tell me that if I listened carefully, I should be able to hear the Valkyrie’s song through the thunder. She said that nothing bad will happen to good children. Jormungand will only take crying children and that would make me stop crying immediately.”Kail’s hair was a mess and his body was covered in sweat. He looked down at Silje and whispered, “Do you get it? Like the Jormungand, I am going to wrap myself around your beautiful bod

“Is that so? He fell for that Asian bitch?”Listening to the report on Kail by her spy on the phone, Ingrid thought carefully.She had white-blond hair and pale skin. With her sharp eyes, Ingrid looked like the Ice Queen.She ordered decisively, “No. We need to take care of him as soon as possible. I thought about it and his existence is unacceptable. He hates me, and if something happens to the old man, that bastard will not let me live. The old man won’t live for long. Rolf is not doing well and when he dies, Kail will take me out. Before that happens, I need to get rid of him.”Ingrid said in an annoyed voice, “And that Asian bitch… What if she gets pregnant with Kail’s child? We better make sure that doesn’t happen. I was wondering who he would end up with, but I never imagined it would be an Asian girl. He definitely has gone crazy.”She bit her red nails in frustration.&ldqu
