Wedded to the Ruler: My Contract Husband Gives It All 260. To Serve or To Be Served?
Arsen wore a sly grin as he gently touched Lily’s cheek, then her lips—so tenderly that his wife found herself gripping the edge of the table.Leaning in close, Arsen whispered into Lily’s ear:“We need to arrange our long-overdue wedding celebration.”Lily, whose mind had already drifted toward more intimate matters,’s eyes widened. Her cheeks flushed deep red with embarrassment as she saw a playful, knowing smile tugging at the corners of Arsen’s mouth.She lowered her gaze and pouted.“I thought everything was already taken care of.”“There are a few things that require your approval. After all, we’re the ones hosting this celebration—not Thomas,” Arsen replied.Lily nodded in understanding.Suddenly, a thought struck her.“Wait! What if we hold the celebration only after Juna has officially moved out?” Lily suggested. “I don’t know why, but I have a feeling he’d ruin the whole thing if he were still around. Besides, it’s not like we could just ‘forget’ to invite him, could we?”“H

Arsen was sitting in his study. Even though he knew that Hana and Keenan had arrived, he had no intention of greeting them.Until Lily entered his study.Arsen watched as his wife approached with a bright smile."Have they left?"Arsen asked Lily. His wife walked closer to his chair and stopped right beside him.Arsen took Lily's hand, smiling faintly as she swung their linked hands back and forth."They haven't left yet. Keenan is playing in the side yard, and Hana is still in the living room. I came to ask you to see her."Arsen was taken aback. His brow furrowed as he looked at Lily in confusion."See whom? Keenan?"Lily shook her head. "Hana, of course," she replied."What for?" The smile on Arsen's face vanished, and his aura darkened.Arsen looked away, and at that moment, Lily embraced him from behind.Lily rested her chin on Arsen's shoulder while stroking his chest."You'll keep remembering her. She was your first love, and the two of you didn't part on good terms. The reason

Keenan hesitated. The boy was confused because Hana had come wanting to take him out, even though she had never been this warm to him before. "Keenan," Hana called out again in a very gentle tone. Deep down, Keenan sorely missed his mother's warmth. Despite being a little scared, he ultimately accepted Hana's outstretched hand. Hana looked deeply relieved. Moved, she pulled Keenan into a tight embrace. It was not merely because Lily had made meeting with the boy a condition for their visit. Rather, Hana felt genuinely remorseful. She regretted taking out her hatred of the world on Keenan, who never deserved it. Hana wept, her heart aching with profound remorse. She stroked Keenan's back, repeatedly kissing his shoulder and then his cheek. Forgive Mommy, Keenan. Forgive Mommy, Hana whispered in her heart. Keenan broke the hug, puzzled to see the woman who gave birth to him crying. "What's wrong, Mommy?" Keenan wiped Hana's cheek. Her son's question only made Hana's
Wedded to the Ruler: My Contract Husband Gives It All 257. Inviting Her to the Mansion
Upon arriving at the company, Arsen and Lily only parted ways when the elevator doors opened on the marketing division floor. Lily stepped out of the elevator and walked toward her office. She was still feeling annoyed with Arsen for teasing her. Lily decided to head to the pantry first to make some coffee, and she unexpectedly ran into Juna, who happened to be there. "I accepted the managerial position offered to me and am being transferred to the ARS branch in Jogja," Juna said while speaking to Lily. "That's great news. I'm sure you will perform well as a manager there," Lily said, acting as if she were happy for him. Juna smiled, then continued, "I move at the beginning of the month. This week, I would like to ask for permission to hold a farewell gathering with our coworkers." "A farewell gathering?" Lily was quite surprised to hear that; shouldn't the team be the ones to take the initiative? "Sure, of course," Lily agreed. "Oh, by the way, regarding your situatio
Wedded to the Ruler: My Contract Husband Gives It All 256. Meet the President
Arsen could not allow Lily to meet the president alone. It was not a lack of trust in Lily, but rather deep distrust toward the man who had summoned his wife. At first, Atmaja had asked to meet at his private residence, but Arsen refused. In the end, they met at a restaurant selected by Arsen. Atmaja arrived fifteen minutes late. He apologized to Arsen and Lily, who were already waiting for him. "I know your time is limited, so let us get straight to why you asked to meet my wife," Arsen said in a sharp, cold tone. Arsen did not care who he was dealing with at that moment. "I would like to apologize for the turmoil that occurred recently. And thank you as well—despite being harmed by those reports, you were still kind to my grandson," Atmaja said. Lily merely stared at Atmaja in silence, while a cynical smirk touched Arsen's lips. "So you admit the slander directed at my wife originated from you?" Arsen asked with a faint sneer. Lily noticed Atmaja looked ill at ea
Wedded to the Ruler: My Contract Husband Gives It All 255. An Apology
Night time. Hana was already back at her home, feeling a sense of relief after finally unloading the entire burden she had kept to herself for so long. She closed her eyes, embracing a sense of freedom, even while being fully aware that other complications would lie ahead because of the truth she had just exposed. "Ma'am." Hana opened her eyes and looked at the maid who had just called her name. "What is it?" Hana asked. "Mr. Atmaja is downstairs." Hana sat up straight upon hearing her father's name mentioned. Trouble seemed to arrive so quickly, yet Hana was ready to defend herself. "I'll be down," she said. The maid nodded and stepped out of Hana's room first. Hana took a deep breath and let out a rough exhale. She braced herself mentally to face her father's fury. Leaving her room, Hana descended the stairs toward the family room to meet her father. Once there, Hana was prepared to get angry if her father raised his voice at her as he usually did whenever
