Semua Bab Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB]: Bab 41 - Bab 50

A piece of pleasant music played using a piano sounded on Dylan's ears. Its rhythm isn't hurried nor too slow. It's just right to make one's heart calm and put one's mind in a tranquil state. The melody sounds so serene, similar to that of a lullaby that puts the listener at ease. A melody sounds so serene that Dylan is willing to listen to it forever without getting tired of it.Dylan slowly opens his eyes. He got blurry vision so he has to blink twice for him to be able to see things better. He wonders, how long has he been asleep? But first thing's first, the ceiling doesn't look the same as the ceiling they have in their house. Even so, it doesn't look unfamiliar to him either. He just doesn't know where exactly is he yet. He doesn't have a clear recollection of what happened before he fell asleep too.He looks around to find out what kind of place he is in. Apparently, he's inside of a room made of wooden walls, wooden flooring, and even a wooden ceiling. The majority of

The smile on Vincent's lips is as sweet as the morning dew and as bright as the ray of sunshine coming from the fine weather above. For the past four years, this is probably his happiest day. Today, he officially finished his college degree. After such a long time, he can finally leave his cage. The graduation ceremony took almost half of the day but it didn't make Vincent feel exhausted even a bit. With a bouquet of fresh and fragrant flowers in his hand, he heads back to the House of Cruz. He's quite excited to see his sister after all those long years, and congratulate her for her upcoming wedding. She'll probably be very busy by now just like what she said in the letter, and there's a possibility that she can't spare a long time for him. Even so, he still wants to extend his word of best wishes in person. "Welcome home, Master Vincent." The guards respectfully greet him by the gate. This time, he didn't need to show his pendant to them which saves him tim

"You kicked your blanket again!" Alphonse frowns the moment he saw Vincent is not covering himself with the thick blanket for the nth time. But this frown on his face doesn't look scary at all. He looks adorable instead. "You need to keep covered, big brother, or else you're going to feel worse."The little man puts the tray he's holding on the nearby nightstand and helps Vincent rise into a sitting position so that the elder can drink the juice he personally prepared. Moments ago, he went out of Vincent's room to get a glass of citrus juice for his "sick" brother. He even made sure that Vincent is comfortably lying on his bed but when he got back his brother already kicked the blanket."Right, right. I'm sorry." Vincent pulls the blanket and puts it around him again. "It's because it's too hot." He then fakes a smile at Alphonse. The truth is Alphonse really believed that his big brother is sick, and Vincent feels guilty for lying to the little one.This lie al

"I am so disappointed in you. I am ashamed to be your father. You bring shame in our family!" Mr. Lopez's words are like knives thrusting through William's chest. Actually, William kind of expected to hear this from his father but still, the first time is always the deepest.After all the other not-so-nice words that his father said and addressed to him, William didn't dare to defend himself nor utter a single word. Maybe it's because he doesn't know what to say, or maybe because he accepts those painful words. He accepts every single word that his father said which made him think it's true so there's no need to think hard and explain himself. He's a big disappointment, a black sheep of the family that brings shame to the House of Lopez.Since he's young, William had always received praises from his father for his achievements no matter how big or small it is. And whenever he's in a downfall, he gets words of comfort and encouragement instead. He never really got an in

"Ulysses? Is Dylan still asleep?" Denise opens the door of Dylan and Ulysses' room. "What would you like to eat for din---" She stops and immediately covered her mouth with her hand when she saw the two sleeping soundly. One lying on the bed, and one sitting on the floor with his back leaning on the mattress. Since they look like they're not waking up any time soon, Denise decided to quickly go out and closes the door again. About a couple of hours ago, Dylan fell asleep on the sofa in the living room. To her surprise, Ulysses gently carried him in his arms and brought him to their bedroom. Denise has always thought that Ulysses treats her brother coldly with indifference. Who would have thought that the seemingly unconcerned Student Council President actually cares for this annoying Campus Heartthrob? And one more thing... Ulysses can actually lift Vincent despite having a slender body?! That's something Denise isn't expecting. The truth is, even Ulysses is
