Chapter 70LAUREN"What about the video of Caden and Leslie kissing in front of so many cameras?" Dad pressed on with his questions and it was starting to annoy me.What exactly was he getting at?What was he trying ask me for him to keep going around in circles?"Dad?" I called with gritted teeth."I'm sorry if the question offended you. I asked a question that I already got the answer. The answer is obvious. I'm sorry for asking." Dad apologized."You do know that seeing that would hurt me and asking me again will worsen the situation that I'm already in right?" I yelled angrily."Calm down Lauren. I wanted to ask you...never mind. Tell me why you called. How is your health now? Are you getting any better? What did the doctor say?" Dad quickly changed the topic."Do not change the topic dad. The real question you wanted to ask, ask it." I urged him."Did you do it?" Dad spoke up after a brief silence."Huh? Do what?" I questioned. I was confused and did not quite get it."Were you t

Episode 72LESLIEOn my way to the office, I met Chester on the way and he told me to accompany him to buy coffee for himself and Caden."You look tired. Did you not get enough sleep?" Chester observed as we both walked side by side.I faked a small laugh and glancdd at him."You know my marriage with Caden is still in it's early stage. We both could not get enough sleep last night. He could not get his hands off of me." I lied smoothly.Okay, I was becoming a good and smooth liar. I did not even stutter anymore when I lie. I lie very smoothly and with a straight face, I did not even bat an eyelash.I lied to Chester because I did not want him to know that I was having problems with Caden in our marriage. Or he might as well too start to doubt the legitimacy of our marriage.I know he is friends with Caden but he was not so close to me and I do not want us to be close either."Really?" He looked speechless and that was not the kind of reply I was expecting. Especially his countenance,

Episode 74LESLIE"Is there anything you can not do Lauren? You are good at everything." Caden praised her with a huge smile on his face. What he said made my heart flutter a bit. I really liked the way he said those words.It sounded seductive and I do not know why his voice had to sound that sexual in my ears especially when he did not say something that intensely."Well, I would not say I'm good at everything though," I said with a shy smile. My face turned red and I was already blushing. My face was starting to heat up really bad and there was no way I could control it.."Wait, are you blushing? Do you really like being complimented that much?" Caden teased me. I felt a bit shy and embarrassed.I did not want Caden to know that I liked the way he was teasing me. It would make me look weird.So instead, I looked up at himand frowned lightly but I was not really angry at him or intended to frown either."I'm not blushing. The weather is hot today," I said and fanned my hot cheeks."

Episode 76LAURENThe next day, I woke up feeling refreshed and energetic.It was the first time since I got to Korean that I was able to wake up with a smile on my face and feeling energetic too. Most of the time, I always woke up with a frown on my face and feeling very tired or slow.I was always angry and mom always asked if I always woke up on the wrong side of the bed. But now, I felt free and happy. I stood up from the bed and went over to the window. It was a vvip room so, I get to stay alone in the big and spacious room all by myself.I went to the window and opened the blindfold. I opened the windows and the cold breeze swept through my face and blew my hair.I closed my eyes to feel the cold in my body."You are already awake?" I heard mom's voice as the door opened and closed."Mom, I told you to get enough sleep. It's bad enough that you do not get enough sleep here in the hospital and I told you to go home and get enough rest but you are here early again.Or tell me, di

Episode 78LESLIEI sighed and rolled to the other side of the bed but I could not feel anybody on the bed. With my eyes still closed, I used my hand to search for Caden beside me but I still could not feel him. I opened my eyes immediately and I found out that Caden was not on the bed."Caden?" I called out drowsily but I got no response.I got to the bathroom and knocked gently on the door but there still was no response and no sound of water running.I went downstairs and I heard sounds coming from the kitchen. I went there and found Caden eating an apple with the fridge opened."You are awake?" I called out him from behind the fridge and he got startled as the apple in his hand fell. It fell and it hit my leg."Ouch!" I winced in pain. I raised my leg up and groaned lightly.Caden quickly closed the opened fridge and looked at me properly. "Are you okay?" He asked softly. I was angry that he could even ask an obvious question with an obvious answer.I glared at him."Do I look o
