The awkwardness was clearly visible on Caitlyn's face, as soon as she arrived at Owen's grand room.
"Tomorrow, I'll ask people to move your remaining belongings, so ...." Owen then stopped his words, when he found Caitlyn standing like a wax statue in the middle of the room.
"Cait," call Owen.
Caitlyn budging. His eyes stared doubtfully at the large bed that was in the middle of the room.
Realizing this, Owen again opened his voice. "Do you mind this? I will not force. You can sleep here and I'll sleep on the couch."
Caitlyn gasps. The woman shook her head at Owen. "It's okay. I'm just not used to it yet. Forgive my attitude," he said, bowing in lethargy.
Owen smiled. The man asked Caitlyn to come to him. "Just calm down, I won't mess around" he promised.
Caitlyn nodded. Once again he apologized to Owen, but tonight was supposed to be their first night. However, the woman was really not ready.
Let alone doing that, kissing after the blessing alone, Caitlyn was very awkward.
His memory suddenly returned this morning.
If the groom mostly kisses the bride's lips after the wedding vows are over, but not on the couple.
...**********...
"I'm sorry, if I'm presumptuous" said Owen, after opening a veil that covered Caitlyn's face.
Caitlyn nodded slowly. Even so, his face looked very nervous and a little pale. That's what makes Owen know enough not to do it first.
As a result, instead of kissing Caitlyn's lips, Owen kissed her forehead for a long time.
...**********...
The real guilt still lingered in Caitlyn's heart, but how else, when Owen's face approached, he instead saw Sean's figure there.
Caitlyn does not want her feelings for Owen to grow because of Sean. He wants everything to flow as it is.
"Are you not angry at all?" caitlyn asked in an unkind tone.
Owen smiled wryly. "Of course not. It was me who should have asked you that," he said. "I hope you're not angry or forced by this marriage."
Caitlyn shook her head. "Of course not." The two threw each other a sweet smile, before then laying down in their respective positions. Luckily, Owen's spacious bed made his heart slightly relieved.
Caitlyn sleeps sideways, turning her back on the closed Owen.
However, Owen secretly opened his eyes again. The man looked at Caitlyn's back with a longing look.
The man even ventured out his hand towards Caitlyn. However, Owen quickly pulled him back. He didn't want Caitlyn to wake up and misunderstand him.
Although their relationship is a little stiff, but Owen hopes, it does not last long.
...**********...
Caitlyn was busy arranging breakfast when Owen woke up. "You cook?" ask the man.
"Yes. I should have helped take care of the house" replied Caitlyn kindly.
"Pa, Mom said, tomorrow we'll see my new school and Wayne. Really true?" Chloe with a cheerful face, immediately asked a question as soon as she saw the figure of her stepfather coming.
"Of course!" answer Owen. The man kissed Chloe and Wayne's forehead alternately.
Chloe and Wayne cheered happily. They chatted at length about how many game facilities were in the new school.
"Sorry, they are like that if they are happy," said Caitlyn unkindly.
"It's okay. I'm just happy, because the house is no longer quiet." Owen smiled kindly, while occasionally shuffling Wayne's hair.
Caitlyn painstakingly arranged a bun of beef and beef-eye eggs on Owen's plate. Do not forget a glass of hot milk served next to the plate. Anna, one of the housekeepers, said Owen liked the still-hot milk.
In addition, Anna also tells all of Owen's habits at home. Such as reluctant to eat foods that are not heated, or prefer cold water when bathing in the morning. The man also disliked black coffee, as it had GERD.
For that one, Caitlyn had already known about it a long time ago, because Sean also suffered from the same disease.
Caitlyn recorded all the information from Anna well in her head, to be then applied to her husband later.
After breakfast, Chloe and Wayne are instantly taken over by their two house assistants. Owen took Caitlyn for a walk around the house.
During one month of living in this place, Caitlyn had only explored fifty percent of the house. He even found out about the greenhouse owned by his mother-in-law, when following Owen and his two children the other day.
"Are you sure you don't want to enjoy this vacation?" said Owen.
Caitlyn turned her eyes to the husband. "Later. For now, I want to get closer to your surroundings, when you're off work" replied the woman. Though in heart, Caitlyn does not want to waste their honeymoon vacation, if this relationship is still stiff.
"It doesn't matter, does it?" ask Caitlyn.
Owen smiled. "No. You are right. We can have fun with the kids" he said.
The two arrived at a warehouse located quite far from the main house.
Caitlyn's eyes immediately widened, as soon as she saw the contents of the warehouse. Because, the place is not at all appropriate to be called a warehouse, because of its neatness.
"These are antiques from my late father and mother's collection. Just like the greenhouse, I didn't dare to set foot here for quite some time."
"It's so beautiful and it deserves to be called a mini-museum!" chirps Caitlyn.
Hearing that, Owen chuckled. "I also said it to him, but he refused, under the pretext of his collection is still not much."
Caitlyn laughed too. The woman stepped slowly into the warehouse. At first glance, Caitlyn felt like she was going back to the era of the fifty to seventies.
As she was indulging in her eyes, the woman accidentally saw a bottle of red wine framed nicely in a glass case.
"It was a Romanee-Conti Burgundy made by a famous French manufacturer in 1945, and there are only 600 bottles in the world alone." Owen opened his voice, when he saw Caitlyn seriously staring at the wine.
"Amazing!" compliment Caitlyn. From these items, he could already guess what kind of graceful life the two in-laws had become.
Caitlyn continued her steps towards the glass cabinet at the end of the room. However, somehow his foot suddenly stumbled onto something.
Caitlyn who could not hold the balance of her body fell. However, before his body actually touched the hard marble floor, a pair of burly hands already held his slender waist.
