Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: A Sense Of Guilt.

They entered the bedroom arranged for them. Hunter's family had a huge castle-like villa on that island. In that villa, there were only a few rooms. There were 4 rooms in total. Other than that, in the basement, they had rooms for workers.

It was a very beautiful villa. The top floor was an open space decorated beautifully. The stars and the ocean looked beautiful from there. The whole island could be seen from there.

Then the next floor had their rooms. And then on the other floor, there was a huge hall decorated with antiques along with a big dining room. Then below that floor in the basement were a kitchen and workers' bedrooms.

At last under the ground was the garage. The villa was huge and surrounded by greenery and the ocean. The front side faced the ocean with a beach while the back side was like a personal forest. It was a really beautiful place.

So since Hunter got married, his room would be considered their room. His room's interior was changed and there was stuff added in the closet and all. When they entered, they saw that it was decorated romantically.

The bed was showered with red and white rose petals. There were candles in the safe places. There was lightning around. The smell of the roses and the atmosphere it created were really beautiful. Despite being tired, they felt the beautiful atmosphere.

However, Hunter knew that they just met and he didn't become worthy of her yet. So he tried his best to care for her and be good to her.

" Sit down. You must be very tired and uncomfortable because of that dress, right? They must've arranged our nightdresses. I'll bring it. You can go ahead and start taking your bath. Take your time. I am not as tired as you."

" ...Okay. Thanks."

" No worries." Hunter smiled gently and went inside the walk-in closet. As he thought, the nightdress and other clothes were already prepared in their closets. He picked out the baby pink night dress which was very decent and covered the whole body.

Both the shirt and pants were full-sleeved maybe because it was cold. The silk was very comfortable and it was plain without any patterns. Other than colour, everything else suited Grace's preference. She didn't dislike pink but rarely wore it. She just felt that it was a sweet and girly colour which didn't really suit her personality.

Grace took it from his hands and thanked him. Hunter helped her with the gown as she went inside the bathroom. After she was finally settled, he felt relieved and went back. He didn't have anything to do so he went outside to the balcony and looked outside at the beautiful ocean.

The waves carried by the wind along with the grass made a beautiful voice. A smell of nature could be smelled. It was all very beautiful. Hunter smiled genuinely while staring outside. He didn't know why but he felt very happy today. He felt like he already liked Grace but that seemed a little unbelievable as they barely even talked to each other.

However, as he was feeling happy, a sense of guilt was in his heart. He was not sure if he deserved this happiness. What if someone from his past is still crying because of him while he became a better person and started living a good life?

Was he even allowed to live this life? Was he allowed to be happy? He wasn't sure about that. His smile faded and he stared out in a daze. The wind was cold and got colder but he didn't feel the coldness. He only returned to his senses after hearing noise from inside.

Grace took a 30 minutes long bath. The hot bath relieved her of a little tiredness and she felt relaxed and lazy. That heavy dress and the high heels really took a toll on her. Moreover, she wasn't even used to wearing such dresses so it was really tiring for her. Once was enough for her she never wanted to wear such a dress again. She was glad that they didn't have to take wedding pictures desperately.

After drying her hair a little, she came out. She thought Hunter would be on the bed but unexpectedly he was nowhere to be found. She was a little confused. She stopped drying her hair with the towel and let it hang on her neck.

She went to the closet and searched for him. He was not there. Then she looked around carefully and remembered that there was a balcony. So she looked there and found it open which was why it was so chilly inside.

As she walked towards the balcony, Hunter came inside and looked at her. They were stunned for a moment. Hunter was yet again stunned by how beautiful she can be. When he realised he was staring, he quickly averted his eyes so that she doesn't find him weird.

Grace didn't expect him to suddenly come out so she was surprised. She saw his hair all messed up by the wind and he was not wearing his blazer. He only had his shirt on. He took out the bow and waistcoat along with the blazer.

He looked handsome regardless of all. He was gifted with a beautiful face. Grace thought. She saw him avert his eyes and felt that it was awkward to not speak for so long while staring at each other. So she told him.

" I am done. You can go take a bath now."

" Hmm. I'll close the door. I forget. It got chilly inside. I am sorry about that."

" It's okay."

Hunter closed the door and slightly adjusted the room temperature and went to take a bath. He also took around half an hour. When he came out, only the lamp light was on. Grace seemed to be asleep on the bed.
