Marriage to the Destroyer of my Dreams

Episode 27 Where are you?

Beautiful face that sleeps in his sleep, became an object that Jeffran did not see until the early hours. Not a second did Jeffran fall asleep, as if he did not want any time wasted when he was given the opportunity to be in one room with the woman he loved so much. Although Jeffran had to be satisfied just by looking at him from the edge of the bed.

Luckily Jillian still allowed Jeffran to remain in her room, after a bad moment last night. Jillian just doesn't want to make her parents worried and suspicious, if she finds out she and Jeffran aren't sleeping in the same room.

"Jill.. Jill, are you awake?" Call Jeffran, but there is no answer from Jillian.

"Jill.. Darling.." Still no answer. Jeffran concluded that Jillian had fallen into a deep sleep.

Out of nowhere, Jeffran emboldened himself to go up on the bed and lay down right next to Jillian, with his face facing his beautiful wife.

"Jill, I know my sin is too great for you to forgive. I'm too ignorant of myself to force you to forgive me in such a short time. But please never doubt my love for you. I really love you Jill.. I love the child you bear." Lirih Jeffran, hoping that his voice would not disturb and wake Jillian up.

Jeffran slowly hugged Jillian's body, though not too tightly for fear of Jillian being disturbed. He kissed Jillian's forehead so softly, that the kiss turned to Jillian's soft lips.

"I love you.. And will always love you, forever."

Jeffran hugged and kissed Jillian again, before finally returning to the sofa. He did not want to take the risk of lingering in bed, because if Jillian opened her eyes and found Jeffran sleeping next to her, then Jillian would have gone berserk.

Because of drowsiness that increasingly can not be held, Jeffran finally closed his eyes to be able to sleep even though only about 2 hours left until the time to wake up and prepare. His sleep was so good, even Jeffran showed a smile even with his eyes closed. Perhaps because of the encouragement of happiness, after being able to hug and kiss Jillian, although he had to do it secretly.

This morning, for the first time Jeffran had breakfast at his in-laws' residence. His appearance is neat with his work clothes, but his suit is still draped in the headboard of the dining chair. Jeffran did plan to leave for the company directly from his in-laws' residence. After returning from the company, Jeffran will return to pick up Jillian, who still wants to linger with her parents.

Jeffran never stopped commenting on his happy smile, as Jillian filled her plate with Jillian's cooking. This did not go unnoticed by Papa Rendra and Mama Jovita.

"Thank you Jill."

"Jeff, you."

Papa Rendra and Mama Jovita looked at each other with a smile, they were happy to see the happiness of their Princess and daughter-in-law.

"Papa and Mama are happy to see you guys so friendly and complementary. If there is any problem, solve it with a cool head huh. May your marriage always be blessed with happiness and blessings." Papa Rendra.

"Aamiya.. Thank you, Ma.. Jeffran promised not to hurt Jillian and would always try to make Jillian and our son Pa, Ma.." Hearing the words of Jeffran, Papa Rendra and Mama Jovita were so relieved.

"Jeff, even though Jillian's child isn't your biological child, please love her sincerely." In response to Mama Jovita's request, Jeffran was about to explain the real facts.

"Jeffs.. Not now." Lirih Jillian whispered a little.

"But Jill.." Jeffrey looked very objected. She was determined to confess all her sins to Jillian before her parents-in-law. Jeffran did not care if he would be beaten all-out by his in-laws, let alone Papa Rendra mastering some martial arts. Most importantly, all the facts about her, Jillian and the child in Jillian's womb can be open, without any more misunderstandings.

"Jeffran loves the baby in my womb like his own son, Ma, Pa.. Mom and Dad don't have to worry." Jillian quickly takes over the chat, leaving Papa and Mama unsuspecting. While Jeffran felt disappointed, because Jillian chose to cover everything from her parents.

Liam frowned, looking at Jeffran's strange gurgle while leading a monthly meeting with all the department heads in the company. Jeffran seemed unfocused and agitated, countless times Jeffran was seen checking his phone. Long sighs also occasionally sounded, making Liam even more astonished.

"Well, we give coffee break time for 30 minutes. The meeting will resume at exactly 10. Please prepare all monthly reports to be submitted to Mr. Jeffrey." Said Liam in front of the entire head dept. Then all the head dept began to disperse, about to rest or fill the stomach of those who began to be hungry or thirsty.

"What's up Jeff? Why do you look so agitated?" Liam asked during the meeting room that only the two of them were left.

"Jillian's phone is inactive.. The head of the bodyguard who was guarding Jillian said that Jillian was at my in-laws' house, because Jillian had not been seen out. But when I asked my mother-in-law, she said Jillian had gone home to the apartment along with a housekeeper who was about to shop in a car driven by their personal driver. And when I checked the apartment's CCTV, Jillian wasn't there." Jeffran could not hide his worried look, repeatedly massaging his suddenly dizzy head.

"Lho.. Did Jillian's bodyguard not see Jillian while out in the car with the driver and his domestic assistant?" Ask Liam in wonder.

"No, all the bodyguards no one saw Jillian. They said the only ones out were my driver and in-laws. I've asked them to immediately look for Jillian's whereabouts." Jeffran said, occasionally checking his phone.

"Jeff, did something happen between you and Jillian? Have you solved the problem between you?" Liam looked at Jeffran's face.

"He forgave me, but he wouldn't give me a chance to fix everything. His heart still hurts too much for my depraved deeds. He doesn't believe my love for him either. He thinks my reason for saying love is only because of my guilt and my desire to get a chance from him." Liam realized the sadness of Jeffran's words. But he also understands the attitude of Jillian who still does not believe in the sincerity of Jeffran.

"Liam.. Take over the meeting. I really can't continue this time. I have to find Jillian." Jeffran.

"Ok Jeff's.. Careful." Liam replied briefly, accompanied by his sympathetic gaze.

Jeffran ran out of the meeting room, only nodding to reply to every greeting from the employees who passed him. His mind raged, thinking of all the bad possibilities that might happen.

'Jill, please don't worry me. Where are you, Jill? Don't go, I really can't live without you.'
