"What do you want to know, father?" Aylin Lui pretends like she doesn't understand her father's words.
"Don't play dumb with me. You already know what I want to know." Charl Smith knew that his daughter didn't really want to talk about it.
But, he can't let her slip this time. Not this time.
"Oh.. you mean Ethan?" Aylin Lui asked like she just understood the question now. She knew her father asked about Ethan Chance and she from the start.
That's why she mentioned Zhou Lui's death instead of talking about herself and Ethan Chance. It seems like she can't escape her father's question.
"Yes." Sipping his tea. But his eyes are never Aylin Lui.
Charl Smith stares make Aylin Lui a little nervous, but she hides her emotion really well. It doesn't show on her face a tiny bit.
"What do you want to hear?"
"Everything." Putting his tea cup on the table slowly.
"Alright. I'll tell you everything."
Aylin Lui then starts telling her father everything that is going on. Of course she didn't tell him all of them and left some out.
The things that she left out are not that important. So she feels like it's not necessary to mention it.
Hearing Aylin Lui's story, Charl Smith felt relieved.
Since Ethan Chance is Zhou Lui's friend 's nephew, Charl Smith was sure that he's not the kind of guy who goes around to sleep with women.
Ethan Chance is just a stranger to him, but a new family to his daughter. So he won't make things difficult for him so that Ethan Chance will treat his daughter well.
Snowflakes Kingdom people hate the kind of people that don't care about themselves and their families.
"So, are you sure about holding the wedding in three days?" Charl Smith asked. He's a little sad that his only daughter is going to get married soon.
Plus, she's only twenty-four years old. And none of her brothers are married. She's the youngest and she brought home a stranger saying he's her husband.
All of her brothers went to other countries to train like her, but none of them bring any woman with them anytime they come home.
"Yes father." Aylin Lui was determined to hold the wedding in three days no matter what.
Charl Smith can tell that Aylin Lui was dead serious when she told them that she'll hold the wedding. And nothing can stop her from doing so.
Charl Smith let out a heavy sigh "Humn! Alright. I'll make sure to keep it a secret till the day of the wedding.
"Thank you father." Aylin Lui stood up from her seat "Then i'll go take some rest. I need enough rest to deal with everything."
Nodding his head "Good Night darling."
"Good Night father." Then Aylin Lui left the room leaving her father alone.
Aylin Lui heads to her room, which is next to Ethan Chance's room.
It's been a while since Aylin Lui lay down on her own bed.
She took a deep breath to take in the fresh air in her room. Even though she hasn't come home in a few years, her room is always clean.
Her family makes sure that the servants clean Aylin Lui's room everyday.
To them, Aylin Lui is the most important family member they ever have. She's here or not, her room has always been kept clean.
Aylin Lui then went to take a quick shower.
"Ding" right after taking a shower, Aylin Lui received a text message from MiMi.
Aylin Lui unlocked her phone and checked the message from MiMi "Everything's taken care of."
Typing on her phone screen then put it back on the table.
Aylin Lui putting on silky black knee length sleepwear.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
Right after she's done putting on her sleepwear, there's a knock on her door.
"Come in." Then she sat down on the sofa.
The door opened, then MiMi came into the bedroom "good evening my queen."
"Mmm..! Have a seat."
MiMi walked up to the other sofa that's facing Aylin Lui, then she sat down.
"So! How's everything going?" Aylin Lui asked. Her eyes were staring at MiMi with a serious face while waiting for the answer.
With no expression on her face "They agree to divorce easily. Since you're the one who helped them in the first place, it's their turn to help you."
Nodding her head, Aylin Lui trusts the way MiMi handles her work. She's just glad that they didn't make things difficult for her.
Aylin Lui doesn't want things to go wrong before the wedding.
"Good work." Aylin Lui eyes are still looking at MiMi
A pair of eyes staring at her make her feel uncomfortable "Is there anything that you need My Queen?" MiMi asked respectfully.
"Yes. One last thing. How's you guys doing?" Aylin Lui asked.
"We're all doing good, My Queen. Everyone was so happy with your return. Of course everyone was shocked with the news that you brought to us."
"MiMi, you know that's not what I want to know."
MiMi's facial expression didn't change a bit "I don't know what you mean, My Queen." MiMi knows better than anyone else what Aylin Lui is asking about.
Aylin Lui sighs "I'm asking you as a friend. Not as your queen. So now tell me, is everything ok between you and Blake?"
Hearing Blake name make MiMi so nervous and heart ache at the same time that her hands tremble a little but she hide it right away making sure that Aylin Lui didn't see it
MiMi looked down on her toes to hide her shaking eyes.
With Aylin Lui eyes didn't leave MiMi, of course she noticed everything "You still love Blake, don't you?"
There was silence for a few seconds.
"Sigh!" massage her head "You know he's thirty-eight years old right? And you're still just a teenager. Have you ever thought about the big age gaps between you too?"
Without looking up at Aylin Lui "I know. And I'm already twenty-one years old this year. I'm not a little girl anymore.
Clenching her fist "I know I'm just a nobody and shouldn't have feelings toward him, but I couldn't help it." Then MiMi looked up at Aylin Lui in the eyes "Mu, you know, when you really love someone, there's nothing that can stop you."
MiMi falls in love with Blake at first sight. She was just a sixteen years old teenage girl when she first met Blake.
Blake was already thirty-three years old at that time.
Because of Aylin Lui, the two strangers end up meeting with each other. At the time that Aylin Lui found MiMi, she entrusted MiMi to her brother Blake.
Since Aylin Lui is the one who asked him, Blake didn't say anything and took good care of MiMi just like he did to the rest of the orphan.
Just thinking about the way Blake treats her till now makes MiMi feel pains in her chest. Tears rushed in her eyes.
MiMi held her tear, making sure that it wouldn't fall. She doesn't want to be seen as a weak woman because of a man.
"MiMi, have you heard your words? There's a seventeen years age gap between you guys. I know everyone's grown up here, but he's too old that he could be your uncle."
Only she and Aylin Lui knew about this. None of them mention it to anyone.
"I know Mu. But what can I do? I just love him too much."
Since MiMi always done her job very well all the time. It's time to reward her with something that she craving for. That's all Aylin Lui can do for her.
Aylin Lui sighs and nods her head "I understand. Don't regret it later when you grow older." She stood up from her seat "I'm tired. You should go and take a good rest. Tomorrow will be a busy day."
MiMi left after saying good night to Aylin Lui.
