"Eunghh..."
Caroline blinked her eyes for a moment and looked so annoyed by the sudden phone call that came while she was sleeping. Lazily she immediately grabbed the square object, glancing at the clock printed on her cellphone screen.
"Who is the crazy who called me at this late hour? Twelve Thirty, come on!" muttered Caroline irritably and immediately pressed the rectangular object against her ear.
"Hello? Who—"
"Ms, please come over here, Mr. Zillion got drunk and hit several employees who were about to stop him from drinking," interrupted a man who sounded so panicked.
Caroline frowned in disbelief and immediately glanced at the screen of her cellphone to make sure the caller hadn't been wrongly addressed by calling her.
"Is this Mr. Malloy's cell phone?"
“Yes, Ms. I found your number to be at the top of the dialed call list, so I decided to call you. Can you pick up Mr Zillion now? Some of the guards have started to feel
"Good morning! Mommy, where's my milk?" “Aleyna, don't scream. Mommy has already prepared it at the dining table." Caroline glanced briefly at her daughter then resumed her almost finished cooking. The young mother swiftly moved here and there to pick up the ingredients she had prepared in the kitchen container. Meanwhile, Aleyna with her cheerful face immediately walked to the dining table to get a glass of her milk and also a bowl of cereal that Caroline had given her. The little girl then walked into the living room to watch her favorite cartoon before Jihoo's uncle picked her up to go to school. "Zillion?" Aleyna stopped her steps in front of the living room sofa when she saw Zillion was sitting on the sofa, ruffling his hair which looks very messy. "Ahh... Aleyna?" Zillion asked uncertainly. He felt he was still having a hangover. And a little dazed by where he is now. Plus his head was also very painful, like he had just been hit
The atmosphere in the car was quiet. Neither Zillion nor Caroline, both are not interested in starting a conversation or just saying something to get rid of the silence that surrounds them. Caroline, who was concentrating on the road in front of her, didn't seem to bother with the silence, because for her it was better than starting a conversation that would only end in a heated argument between the two. Just like what happened fifteen minutes ago, before she drove her car out of her porch, she was again in an argument with Zillion over a simple matter. The man insisted on asking her to take him to the office, even though he knew that she was late for work because of their long talk session a few hours ago. But in the end she chose to give in and drove Zillion to his office, because the man's car was still in the bar. While Caroline is busy driving, Zillion appears to be busy thinking, daydreaming about all kinds of things that feel like intric
Zillion smiled with satisfaction as he slipped his cellphone into his trouser pocket. He was sure that right now Caroline must be cursing him because he suddenly hung up his phone unilaterally. But he did want to tease Caroline because Caroline would look even cuter when she nagged. "What is wrong? You seem very happy." Zillion quickly turned his head back and caught sight of Spencer who was giving him a weird look. "Nothing. Just mind your own business," Zillion replied dryly and immediately walked away from Spencer. The man deliberately tore his ears away from the voice of Spencer who kept screaming behind him noisily. He didn't have time to answer any of Spencer's questions that were sure to end as long as this morning. Suddenly the white cell phone in Zillion's left pocket vibrated. Zillion lazily grabbed the square object and immediately put it on his left ear while walking through his office lobby which is quite c
Zillion pressed the doorbell of the house impatiently as he rubbed his rough face. He seemed a little drunk tonight after sipping a few glasses of Jack Daniels. But he could still realize where he was now and what purpose he had come to this place. He wanted to treat this terrible feeling of loneliness, then replace it with a reassuring feeling of calm. “Zillion? Are you crazy! It's twelve in the midnight, and you— " Zillion immediately hugged his psychologist's tiny body, causing Caroline to nearly fall backwards. Luckily the woman had held onto the edge of the door, so that she was able to withstand Zillion's heavy body weight in front of her. "Are you drunk?" asked Caroline in confusion as she tried to push Zillion's body away from her. But Zillion continued to tighten his arms until finally Caroline chose to give up and let Zillion remain in that position for a while. “Caroline, I don't want to be left. I'm afraid to feel lonely and alone."
A day goes by without a bully like Zillion making Caroline's life feel better. All day long she felt that her life was lighter because Zillion hadn't called her at all for the vent sessions that would normally end in annoyance for her. Besides that yesterday she also didn't get too complicated clients, so today she can relax and spend more time at home having fun with Aleyna. But today she might get in trouble because suddenly she gets another message from Rein that forces her to meet. Even though yesterday she had ignored the man by not answering the dozens of messages the man sent her. But now he was texting her again, even calling her in a pushy voice so that she would agree to meet him. It was obvious that Caroline was furious because from the start she had shown her aversion to him. She doesn't want to get involved with Rein anymore. She just wants her life to be happy without the shadow of that annoying man. "Caroline, are you go
That afternoon the sky was gray and cloudy. Raindrops began to fall slowly over the cold Chicago soil. Caroline, the woman stared at the raindrops that started to wet her yard with a cloudy face because this afternoon she couldn't go out with Aleyna according to her plan this afternoon. Even though this is a good opportunity, where she happens to not be getting many clients and she is also free from the troublemaker-annoying Zillion Malloy. But maybe God hasn't allowed her to go out and have fun, so this afternoon she can only spend time at home with Aleyna while cooking mushroom soup to make her beautiful kitchen dirty because of Aleyna's act. "Mommy, let's play in the rain outside." Suddenly Aleyna appeared beside her in a raincoat with a green frog image on it wrapped around her tiny body. Caroline who saw that could only put her hands on her hips while preparing to scold Aleyna to immediately take off her raincoat. But before her m
"So Aleyna really isn't my daughter?" Rein asked disappointed. Caroline reluctantly shook her head at Rein while tidying up the papers of proof of Aleyna's custody to show Rein that Aleyna was not his daughter. "I'm sorry Rein, Aleyna is not your daughter," said Caroline regretfully as she looked at Rein with concern. She actually couldn't bear to see Rein's face that looked sad. But that's the truth. Aleyna is not his real daughter. The man had no reason to continue speculating if Aleyna was his daughter. After all, all the evidence has strongly shown Rein that Aleyna is not his daughter and Caroline. So it looks like he really should step back and not get your hopes up on Caroline because in fact their household relationship will never return to what it used to be. Meanwhile, Aaron looked satisfied next to Caroline while continuing to smile sarcastically laughing at Rein's pathetic face. He knew he must be very disappointed because his intention to win over
"Aleyna... Where are you dear?" Caroline slowly climbed the stairs in her house, calling out Aleyna's name to confirm where the little girl was. But after a long time she called out her daughter's name, the little girl did not answer her calls. Since earlier she was only treated to a lonely atmosphere that was so thick in her house without hearing Aleyna's usually noisy chattering voice. "Aley—" "Sshhhh... Don't be noisy, she's sleeping." Caroline stared in disbelief at the sight presented on the bed containing Aleyna and Zillion. The two humans had apparently been curled up warmly under the blankets comfortably without caring about her who was having the hassle below because she had to calm the two men who were burning the fire of hatred. "Since when have you been there? Why are you sleeping in my room?" asked Caroline irritably. She harshly slid Zillion's feet down and made the man's legs now stretch out across the floor. "I'm tired,
