Marriage to the Destroyer of my Dreams

Episode 10 I'm your Husband

Jillian seemed to dissolve in her daydream on the balcony of the apartment's living room, so was unaware of Jeffran's presence who had just returned from the company. Jeffran walked over to Jillian, having kept his briefcase and work coat on the living room couch.

"Jillian, comein.. The night wind is not good for you and your pregnancy."

Surprised by Jeffran's voice, Jillian nodded and stepped into the living room. Not wanting to argue, even though he still wanted to linger there.

"Jill.. Did you cook dinner?" Jeffran asked without further ado, because his stomach was already very hungry.

"I'm just cooking chicken katsu and salad." Jillian replied expressionlessly. But different from Jeffran, who looks sparkling to hear the dinner menu.

"Well, I ate right away.. Thank you Jill." Jeffran headed straight for the dining table, and his saliva seemed to drip looking at his tempting dinner menu.

After eating Jillian's meal at lunchtime, Jeffran could eat nothing more. Because every snack and drink that went into his mouth, instantly spewed out again without any residue. So Jeffran chose to give up and wait for dinner time, in order to eat food made by Jillian.

Without wasting any time, Jeffran immediately stuffed a piece of chicken katsu into his mouth. A big smile accompanied every chew of Jeffran, making Jillian who looked at Jeffran from the family room, smiling without realizing it.

'I haven't felt nausea and vomiting in a few days, but it's the man who felt it. But I had to bother making him food. It turns out I wasn't strong enough to starve her.' Jillian said in her heart.

"Ah full.." Jeffran said after finishing chicken katsu, salad and sipping a glass of water.

"Thanks to Jill.." Jeffran looked sincerely at Jillian who was also looking at him.

"You are welcome.." Jillian replied flat and expressionless.

'Hmm, why do I always feel hatred in every word and look on his face? I hated it at first, but the feeling changed. I tried to live with him even without love. I'm trying to have this marriage, until the time is right for me and her to get divorced. But his attitude towards me has not changed, even though I have tried well against him. She should have thanked me, because I was willing to lose my future in order to replace my sister to marry her.' Jeffran complained in his heart. Without knowing that it is he who has destroyed Jillian's future and dreams.

There was a call coming into Jillian's cell phone which she kept on the family room table. Jeffran who walked over to Jillian was a little curious, so he sped up his steps to sit across from Jillian.

"Hallo Ethan's brother.."

Jillian heads to her room, feeling uncomfortable talking on the phone with Ethan in front of Jeffran. Moreover, Jillian realized, if Jeffran's expression looks full of questions at this time.

'Why would Jill have to go to her room to talk to Ethan? Is Jill close to Ethan? Looks like I have to figure out the relationship between them.' Somehow Jeffran felt his heart was very uncomfortable to find Jillian contacted by Ethan. There is an undefined feeling that makes him want to know the relationship between Jillian and Ethan.

5 Minutes later, Jeffran was about to go to his room to clean up. But the appearance of Jillian who came out of her room with neat clothes, complete with a tiled coat, made Jeffran could not resist his curiosity.

"Jill, where are you going?"

"I have an important need. I'll stay at my parents' house, Jeff." Jillian replied in a hurried voice.

"No..No..No.. Where you going? I'll drop you off, and you'll have to come back here. You can't stay anywhere, other than in our apartment." Hearing Jeffran's words, Jillian frowned followed by a long sigh.

"Well, I'll be out for a while, I'll be back here." Jillian was still trying to negotiate, not wanting to until Jeffran forced her to drop her off.

"No, I'll keep you. If you don't want to, then I won't let you go out." Jeffran's tone of voice that was heard rose, making Jillian again sigh violently.

"Jeffs.. I'm just for a minute, and I'm in a hurry." Jillian tried to hold back her emotions, even though her words sounded emphatic.

"Actually who do you want to meet? Ethan's? What is your relationship with Ethan? How close are you to that guy?" Jeffran's words successfully made Jillian surprised. He really did not expect that Jeffran would accuse him like that.

"Do you care, Jeff? We agreed not to interfere in each other's affairs. I have a relationship with anyone, nothing to do with you. I don't care if you have a relationship with anyone." Jillian's emotions have reached the crown. He really did not accept being accused of having a relationship with other men, but he was reluctant to defend himself.

"I'm your husband.. I have the right to forbid you from going to see another man. I also have the right to forbid you from having any relationship with any man, as long as you're still legally my wife, Jill." Jeffran insisted, clutching Jillian's arm, until Jillian grimaced in pain.
