99 Days Trapped in the Body of the Royal Prince’s Wife - Chapter 38
After finishing decorating the room, Nathan turned out and approached Clara who was in the kitchen. The man stopped at the special living room beside the dark-looking living room and turned on the light.
In that room there is a mini cinema which is equipped with various sophisticated equipment for watching movies, there is a yellowish-white couch and several other couches that are colored according to how many mains are. He prepared everything, including the tapes of the film he was going to watch with Clara later.
“Redeeming love… We’ll watch the film together later,” Nathan muttered as he installed some components so that when he and Clara entered the cinema, they would be ready to watch.
After finishing with the preparations for watching a movie together, Nathan continued to walk to the kitchen but he stopped in the dining room because at that time Clara was there preparing the ready-made food.
“Wow, we finished together,” Nathan said then kissed Clara’s shoulder. “What menu are you making, honey?” he asked.
“Hemm .. just a simple menu,” answered Clara while slicing Beefsteak very neatly on a white square plate. “Just Beefsteak, spaghetti bolognese, and orange squash. For dessert, maybe we can order later.”
“Well … Just eating this will be very full, no need for dessert because I’m avoiding foods that are too sweet.”
“Oh, you’re on a diet.”
“Yeah…I want to return to my former posture so that I’m strong because now I feel my belly is a little distended,” Nathan explained and then sat down on a chair.
Clara immediately sat down and started eating with Nathan who again felt strange about the taste of the food.
“It taste different than usual,” Nathan muttered after eating the spaghetti bolognese.
“Eh…” Clara looked confused. “Does it taste too bad?”
“No, it’s more delicious,” Nathan said with a smile, then took a piece of beef with a fork and fed it to Clara. “You have to try it.”
A little awkwardly, Clara devoured the beefsteak.
“Isn’t that delicious?” asked Nathan with a smile.
Clara just nodded.
Nathan returned to eating, occasionally glancing at Clara who was also eating but something made him feel even more different. ‘Usually, she is always cheerful, always insisting to feed me, but why not now,’ he thought a little disappointed.
Clara glanced at Nathan who wasn’t smiling and cheerful anymore. She felt guilty and refocused on her goal for the day being to make Nathan happy.
“Anyway. I’m curious to go to the room, we should finish all this food immediately,” she said enthusiastically.
“Hm, I think we’ll see a movie first, then go to our room,” Nathan said.
“Emm… But I’m curious to go to the room…I want to see what you did in the room earlier,” Clara said then ate heartily. “Maybe we’ll watch a movie after seeing the room,” she continued.
Nathan smiled faintly, glancing at Clara who was eating quickly. he didn’t know what to say in response to his fickle wife, because today he didn’t want to argue.
“How about we linger in the room as usual?” he asked.
“Eh… It doesn’t matter,” Clara replied casually but in her heart said, ‘What is this…will he ask me to make love in the morning? Oh my God… I should have taken him to a movie first!’
“Honey,” Nathan called, glancing at the dreamy Clara…
“Eh, yeah… That’s up to you…I know you’ll do things that make me happy, so I just have to act as your submissive,” Clara said casually, unable to avoid Nathan even more.
Nathan sighed. “Well . . . It’s nothing too special because you’re used to it.”
“Oh yes … But something that is used to it will feel special when done with all your heart and … And full of love,” said Clara with a sweet smile.
Nathan just smiled, then continued eating. once in a while he feeds Clara, understanding her different behavior, but that doesn’t mean anything because all he knows in front of him is his wife, not someone else’s soul.

Michael was in his office. He couldn’t calm down because he kept thinking about Mia who seemed to have won his heart. The man sat in his oversized chair, staring at the pile of files he had finished checking and signing.
‘Should I see her now? She’s sick, she should be resting, lying on the bed….and maybe I can massage her legs,’ he thought with a faint smile remembering Mia’s smooth long legs.
Check…
The door to the room opened. Michael saw his secretary who was a girl dressed formally in the form of a gray knee-length skirt combined with a white top and a blazer that matched the color of the skirt letting her hair flow neatly. The girl carrying a black document walked up to him with a leisurely pace.
“Susan,” said Michael.
“There’s a file you need to sign, Sir,” said the secretary named Susan and then placed the document on the table right in front of Michael.
Michael immediately opened the document, then read its contents for a while, and immediately signed it.
“Do I have a meeting after this?” he asked, handing the document back to Susan.
“No, sir. Today you are free,” replied Susan.
“Okay then, you can go out,” Michael exclaimed then grabbed his phone that was on the table.
Michael sat back casually while calling someone when Susan was out of the room. the man kept on calling, occasionally his gaze fell on the photo of Casey lying on the table mounted on a small frame. For a moment he smiled at the beautiful photo of his lover, but the smile faded because he was afraid that his lover would never wake up again.
“Hello, Michael,” someone said over the phone.
“Hello, Mia. Are you busy?” asked Michael who turned out to be called Mia.
“No, it turns out that I’m very free today… Since then I’ve only been playing games and watching videos on YouTube,” answered Mia, sounding lethargic.
Michael put a smile on his lips, looked away from Casey’s photo, and imagined how Mia’s face would look now.
“Hemm… How about if I pick you up now?… I’ll take you away for a break because I can’t stop thinking about you who’s still sick…your leg still hurts, right?”
“Yeah, it’s still a bit painful. I think I have to go to the orthopedic doctor to give me the right treatment for my leg,” Mia explained.
“Okay then I’ll come to pick you up and take you to the orthopedic doctor,” Michael said as he stood up. “And I hope after that you’ll want to come with me to spend the day … Because I have nothing to do in the office.”
“But where are we going?”
“Maybe just to my apartment because I want you to rest there and I will accompany you….I want us to talk about a lot of things, and … And maybe it’s about our closeness,” Michael explained casually.
“Oh, fine. I see what you mean.”
“See you later,” Michael said then hung up the phone. he smiled faintly as he put his phone back, imagining that he would have fun today after so many days of being sad because he thought of Casey who didn’t wake up. .ugh, could he possibly take Mia out for fun, then start forgetting Casey who always wanted to get attention from him before? Is he starting to forget his intention to make Casey happy, atone for all his mistakes?….
