In the middle of the night.
Evelyne accidentally woke up from her sleep, because she had the same dream as before. Where the dream always reminds him of Dion in his past memories. Evelyne doesn't want that back, but it feels hard to let someone she loves go along with the person she loves.
He knew that all that love would change, but with his sincerity Evelyne felt that a man like Dion would never get the love that sincerely seemed. Although she was once just a comfort woman, but about the name of the feeling. He would never play that in his life.
“Yoona, why are you awake? Is something bothering you?” William asked with his eyes closed but he hugged Evelyne's slender waist who was now sitting.
Evelyne shook her head “It's okay, sorry. Did I wake you?”
“No! I just wake up every hour, so it's not your fault!” william opened his eyes as slowly.
Evelyne fell silent, then with her beautiful beads of eyes. He looked at the man he was sleeping with in the same bed without doing what he hated so much. Though their status is husband and wife, but why this man never forced her to satisfy him. Even this man had never forced her if he did not want to.
I'm stuck by a strange feeling when I'm always next to this guy. I've always felt that I hated him so much, but on the other hand. I feel that I have the right to protect this marriage from those who seek to destroy it. Building a relationship that has been destroyed is not easy. But that's what makes Evelyne feel a little bit happy because she can find out more about this guy.
we are lonely people because we are stuck in the past. The world brings us together to rebuild feelings that the past has lost, but how can I trust someone again in my life?-
Evelyne rubbed William's head gently. The man easily falls asleep when his body feels so tired. Even evelyne himself felt the way William felt even if it was only part of it. “You've worked hard today. I'm proud of you. Although I know, that my feelings are just lies.”
It is difficult to open the heart again, when the heart has been seriously injured. Even to complement each other, we have absolutely no sense of trust for the other. We only attach importance to the ego, to the destruction that always wins in such a relationship.
“Yoonaa...do you still not sleep?” Murmured the man in his dream “Let's go back to sleep, tomorrow we will go to work. So get enough rest, or you'll get sick later”
Evelyne chuckled softly, it seemed like she was misjudging. Although William has a bad personality, evelyne feels that William is the only strange man he has ever met. William used to hate him so much, even he was always rude to him. But now it's like melting ice because of the fire that warmed it.
“I can't sleep, you stop mumbling. And sleep well!” evelyne said with a small smile on her face.
Yeah, I shouldn't have fallen in here any deeper. Because I will definitely feel pain at the end like my relationship with Dion. I don't want to die just for love, but I can't do anything about it either.
William, who felt that Evelyne was still sitting on the bed, had to open his cold eyes to look at Evelyne, who was closing his eyes as he put a strange smile on his face. “Yoona, what are you doing?” William asked with a spontaneous hug Evelyne.
“Why did you wake up? I told you to go back to sleep, why are you like this?” William hugged Evelyne so warmly. A heart that was like a stone, slowly began to feel pain that he should not have felt. “Liam, stop hugging me like this!” Evelyne pushed William's body slowly.
William was stunned when he saw Evelyne's reaction that resisted his embrace. He did not know what had just bothered this woman's mind at night, making her have to behave strangely with him. “Yoona, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this?” Asked William worriedly.
Worried about Evelyne, William tried to approach her slowly. Although Evelyne seemed to refuse, but to make sure the woman was in good condition. William had to get a hard slap that floated for the first time in a long time he had no physical contact with her.
William was speechless as he felt the stinging heat on his face, while Evelyne just kept cowering in fear like someone was trying to disturb his calm at night. “I told you, don't come near me!! Didn't you hear it?” evelyne snapped in tears.
He didn't do anything, he just wanted to hug her. Why did she cry when she said that to him? What's wrong with that woman? Why did he act like 2 different people?
“Yoona, are you okay? Tell me, what are you making you uncomfortable?” Ask William slowly.
Plaque!!
Evelyne brushed William's hand off. “I told you not to approach or touch?! Why are you so stubborn?!” evelyne said with red eyes Because she was crying.
William was silent for a moment, calming himself so as not to get carried away by the hot atmosphere tonight. Because he was afraid he would share his emotions, when he saw Evelyne who blatantly rejected his existence. After he felt that his body was much calmer, William who was without a cue immediately jumped towards Evelyne and then tightly he hugged the woman.
“H-hey!! What the hell are you doing?! Release Me!!” evelyne shouted by hitting both hands of William who was holding his body to not go from there.
William shook his head, he had to be silent until it felt like he was enough to calm this woman down. But if he can't, then with a heavy heart he releases the woman and stops doing something he wants to give her back.
“Liam!! What the hell are you doing?! Let go of me bastard!” he said it out loud.
William nodded, the embrace loosening but William slowly stuck Evelyne's head near his chest. “St...Yoona, try to calm yourself down and listen carefully.” William said in a soft voice and a hand stroking Evelyne's head gently.
Hearing William's soft voice and gentle touch made Evelyne unceasingly stop the repulsive movement from her body, even the energy Evelyne gave to William, slowly weakening.
Dag.dig..
Evelyne was stunned and felt comfortable when she heard William's heartbeat sounding so loud. Even the warm temperatures given by William make Evelyne feel comfortable when nearby.
Evelyne nodded slowly, putting one of her hands on William's chest to feel more at the man's heart beat. “Yoona, if this hug can make you comfortable. Then embrace me whenever, and wherever you are they are uncomfortable. You understand?” william said by putting his head over Evelyne's head.
Hearing that, Evelyne just fell silent while squeezing William's nightgown tightly. He knew that something was making Evelyne uncomfortable, but Evelyne seemed to have no intention of sharing his story with him.
this is what I've been afraid of since I've been close to you! I don't want the past to repeat itself, but I also don't want to hurt all your efforts that have treated me well. I'm sorry, Liam. I-i'm sorry
William, who saw Evelyne, closed his eyes again and fell asleep, putting himself back on guard tonight. William all night continued to look at Evelyne's face without a second being missed. Because He was afraid, Evelyne would face another nightmare like that.
And all that lasted until morning came, and William also fell asleep in a sitting state leaning back and hugging Evelyne on his lap.
Morning sunlight that now barges in from the window, making some of the dark room space is now illuminated by some of the sunlight that enters the room. The chirping as the music is sung at William's alarm makes the morning atmosphere very soothing.
There was not the slightest bit of burden felt by the two as they opened their eyes simultaneously. Evelyne seemed to look usually when morning arrived, like he did not feel something strange happening last night. Even William himself who remembered it could only fall silent and sleep talking about it back to Evelyne.
“Good morning! How you” greeted William with a smile on his face, he greeted Evelyne as the beautiful bead of eyes began to open.
Evelyne rubbed her eyes while raising her head from William's chest. It seemed as if this woman was still unconscious, and William was still silent until Evelyne's consciousness had returned stably. “Eum...liam, what time is it?” evelyne asked as she was about to put her head over William's chest back.
“Jam 06.45” replied William casually “Do you want to go back to sleep?”
Evelyne was surprised, throwing her gaze at the wall clock that now showed the punch just mentioned by William earlier. But even more surprising is, Evelyne realized that he had been sleeping on William's body all night. “L-liam, B-how can you and me?” evelyne said stammeringly.
“No, it's not what you think. We've only been asleep all night, so don't think too far. Because I won't do anything you don't like.” William said by stroking Evelyne's head when the woman had already descended from above her body.
Evelyne looked at William in embarrassment. “You're serious?!”
“Yes, I'm serious. We didn't do anything last night” replied with a slightly aching heart. “It's noon, you shower first. I'll take a shower in the usual place. When we're done, we'll have a meal with Grandpa. Okay?”
Evelyne nodded, then with her face flushed Evelyne quickly ran jumping down from the bed and ran towards the bathroom to hide her embarrassment. Seeing the funny behavior of Evelyne also made William just a small silence as his bead eyes continued to be directed towards the bathroom.
“You are weird! Your actions sometimes give me hope, but you can also give me a despair when you see your actions that are like rejecting me”

...
In the dining room of Maxime's residence.
Grandfather who was eating quietly was immediately startled by the arrival of Jessica and Edgar this morning. All the servants who saw them also directly lowered their heads as their respect to the sons and daughters of the JIN family.
“Hallo grandpa, good morning!” jessica's yelling made her letter sound throughout the dining room.
Grandfather who heard the loud voice suddenly covered his ears with both hands. The sharp bead of the grandfather's eyes was directly aimed at jessica to give a reprimand just from a pair of eyes. “Jessica, please don't do your thing! It's still morning, are you going to make a fuss inside my residence this morning?” Ask grandpa in a bad tone.
“Ahh. I'm here, 'cause I want to see you. We haven't seen each other in a long time, haven't you missed this lovely grandfather's granddaughter?” tease jessica with hugging grandpa from behind.
Grandfather sighed, tapping the spoon onto the table for a few times while having everyone there pay attention to him. “Jessica, sit quietly there! Waiter, bring some food that has been served before. This morning, I will eat with them” said the grandfather who invited Edgar and Jessica to have breakfast with him this morning.
Hearing Grandpa talk like that, the two people immediately sat on the dining table chair that was available there. Before long, the servants came out of the kitchen with some good food in hand. It looks like breakfast this morning is so luxurious, and it certainly makes jessica eagerly take the plate to prepare her food for herself.
In contrast to Edgar who asked some servants to serve him from taking food and making him fresh drinks. “Edgar, I haven't heard from your parents in a long time. Are they all okay there?” Ask the grandfather who started the conversation between them.
Edgar nodded “Ya, they are all fine. How are your grandfather and eldest brother? Have you guys been in good contact?”
“Ya already, even though the boy is a little annoying. But I really like it, let alone seeing its closeness with Yoona lately makes you feel happy” said the grandfather who made the two people surprised. “What's up? Why do you seem so surprised? Have you guys never seen them together lately?”
Jessica shakes “No grandpa! That's not possible. How could the eldest sister bring herself closer to a woman like Evelyne? She was only married to the eldest brother, for treasure is not love. So why do you feel happy when you see the two close?”
“Absolutely what's bad in your eyes? To the extent that you always taunt me in the back, don't you have the courage to talk to me directly?” said a woman standing before the dining room door with a grinning smile on her evil face.
