Raymond immediately releases her and sit down on the chair. "D-darling..A-are you h-hurt?" He asks with a mellow voice and he somewhat looks like he's sulking.
"No, I'm not. But, I appreciate if you don't jump on me like that." She smiles and takes the flower bouquet from his hand.
"It's beautiful. Thank you, dear." She compliments him, hoping that few words could bring back the happiness on his face.
"A-are you g-gonna stay l-like this t-today?"
"Um, yeah. But, once I recover, I'll play with you again, okay?"
"O-okay,"
Luna turns her head around and looks at two middle-aged men who turn into a stone at the corner of the room. They quite shock to see the young Master was so obedient with his wife. It's like a dream to see this drama in front of their eyes.
"Ahem, gentleman. Please give us some space, will you?" Luna smile at both of them. Cueing them to leave the room. It feels uncomfortable to talk privately with Raymond when there is someone else in the room.
Once they both leave the room, Luna exhales a bit.
"So, where did you go today?" She asks him with a gentle voice. She needs to treat him like she treats a little kid. Even though he might look like an adult, inside, he still a little kid who needs love.
"I-I went t-to the t-town." his eyes did not meet her. It wanders around the room. Just like a real actor, he really looks like he is autism.
"I see, did you have fun?"
He shakes his head. "N-no. M-my d-darling is n-not t-there," he said that, but he's the one who blushing right now.
"Aw, really? next time, we should go together, okay?"
He nods his head.
All-day, they chat about so many things. This man looks like he really likes to chat with her. He even tries to feed her with the porridge even though it ends up staining the bedsheet.
Another sides of him that she unconsciously falls for right now. His innocence and his effort to cheer her up.
…
Late at night,
Raymond suddenly wakes up and found himself fall asleep at the bedside while sitting on the single armchair. He looks around and found that the girl from last night was sleeping on the bed and he could vaguely see the bruise on her neck.
He then took a closer look to her neck. "Did I do that to her? Why did I fall asleep here, anyway?"
He wants to get up, but then his eyes caught a glimpse of roses in the vase on the top of the nightstand. He scrunches his eyebrow a bit and went to the nightstand where the rose is placed.
He looks at the card hanging on one of the flowers. He flips it and saw the letter.
'To my darling wife, get well soon. -Dear-'
His eyes turn dark as he crumples the card and he took the vase, he angrily throws it at the wall.
Prang!!!
Luna immediately shot open her eyes. Shocked with the loud sound, her heart thumping like crazy. Thinking there is robber inside the house.
"Wha.." She almost cries when she saw her flower vase has been smashed on the floor. She then turns to look at the man who standing not far from the bedside.
"W-why did you do that?" She asks. Trembling a bit.
"Why?! you ask me why?" He storming to her and grabs her hair before he pulls her face closer to his.
"The other 'you' give me those flowers, how could you.." Her tears streaming down the cheek. A flash memory of last night comes back to her mind for a second.
"Fuck that stupid little kid! I'm not him! And you're not my wife!!" His voice could make one deaf, obviously.
Feeling painful, she whimpering asking him to let go of her hair. "It's hurt, Raymond..you're hurting me.."
"That's what I intend to do."
"Listen, the one I marry is the other 'you'! so basically, you're not my husband, so, let me go!" She grips her hand onto his arm, digging her nails to his arm so that he would let her hair go.
"Humph!" He shoves her aside and let go of her hair.
Knock knock!
"Mr, Raymond, are you in there?" Mr. Carson once again saves the night.
He looks at Luna with a cold gaze. "You better engrave it in your mind, that you marry the little kid and not me!"
After he said that, he went to the door and brush off the butler coldly. He went back to his room on the second floor.
Mr. Carson looks at Luna with mixed feelings. He pities her, it's been two night in a row that the 'night' Raymond torture her, she must be stress with this event.
"I'll call the maid to clean up the mess." Mr. Carson said and he hurriedly went out to find the maid in the middle of the night.
After he calls the maid, he then went to Raymond's bedroom. Knocking on the door carefully.
"Master Raymond, may I come in?" he asks for his permission.
"Come in." once Mr. Carson got the permission, he opens the door and brings the document that has been signed by both parties.
"Mr. Raymond, I apologize for not giving you this document last night. This is the deal between Madam Victoria and your wife, ahem, I mean Ms. Luna." He immediately changes the addressing way of Luna.
He knows this 'night' Raymond probably despise Luna so much. He didn't love that girl, yet suddenly he was married to her. Of course, he would run an amok about this. Plus, the one he loves doesn't even contact him at all these past six months after the accident.
"Put it there and get lost." He said coldly and glared at him like he really is hungry of blood right now.
Mr. Carson does as he asks and closes back the door.
