I will Love You Forever - Chapter 129
On our way back, I couldn’t stop smiling in the car. We’re already married but he still felt the need to ask me to marry him again.
“Come here.” he requested and I moved closer to him. He laced his hand under my neck like a pillow and made me lie on it.
“We would get married soon. There is no need for us to act distant anymore.” his voice was warm and calm and I could feel my cheek burn when he said those words.
We stayed like that for a long time and the driver drove us to another location. This wasn’t the way to the mansion neither was it the way to the former apartment so where was he taking us?
“Are we going somewhere else?” I looked up and asked him.
“Um. I don’t like staying in the mansion neither do I consider the apartment safe because of Lucy so it would be best if we go somewhere else.”
I looked at him happily and asked curiously, “Really? Where?”
“You’ll see.” he smiled and I nodded then leaned back again. I wondered where we were going and couldn’t help but feel curious about it.
We drove for a while longer and I was already feeling sleepy. Soon, the car stopped and we got off.
It was a beautiful house with a beautiful garden and there were lights everywhere. I could tell we were in an
affluent area.
“This…” I looked at him confused.
“This is my house.” he casually responded.
I blinked twice and looked at him surprised wondering how many houses he had and why.
“Let’s go.” I didn’t get the chance to ask as he took my hand and led me in.
“Welcome, sir… Ma’am…” the staff greeted and I bowed slightly in response to their greeting.
He got to a stop and looked at me. “You must be tired. Would you like to sleep now?” he asked in a polite tone.
“Um.” I nodded. First, I have to remove this dress and take a cool bath before sleeping.
“Grace,” he called out to someone and a woman in her late fifties came forward.
“Please show Ayla to the room. She’s tired and needs to rest,” he asked the woman and she nodded with a smile.
She led the way and I couldn’t help but wonder why we had to be separated now.
“Come with me.” I followed behind her still looking back at Gerard who was talking to some other staff.
We went upstairs and she led me to a room that was as big as the one in the Jarek mansion. It was comfortable and cosy just like Gerard’s ideal room.
“You can rest here while a arrange everything in the bathroom.” the woman explained and I nodded.
I sat on the bed and dropped Gerard’s jacket neatly on the bed. Everything in the room was in dull colours and this was the main reason I said it was Gerard’s ideal room.
I sighed and looked around but the woman was soon done and came out of the bathroom. “You may go in now,” she spoke with an indifferent face.
I nodded and she turned around to leave but I stopped her. “Excuse me ma…”
She turned around and looked at me calmly. I pursed my lips and asked, “Where is Gerard going to stay?”
Her lip curved up in a smile and she responded politely, “Here. This is his room.” immediately she finished saying that, my eyes widened and I looked at her surprised.
“Here?” I asked and her smiley face turned serious.
“Yes. This is the Master’s room. Is there a problem?” she asked confused and I shook my head smiling awkwardly.
“No no…” I waved my hand and smiled but deep down, I wasn’t smiling.
She turned around and walked away surprised by my reaction. I bit my lower lips and wondered what I should do.
“Why does it have to be today?” I ran into the bathroom feeling stomach pain from all the sugary substances I took at dinner.
“What do I do? He can’t sleep here, or at least not for a few more days.” I sighed and quickly took a bath.
After the bath, I felt better and took a pair of pyjamas from the wardrobe. I sighed and thought to myself. ‘The best solution is to sleep before he comes.’
I sighed and walked to the bed tiredly. My stomach was still hurting and this was the first time to was this critical.
I lay in bed hugging the pillow tightly with sweat beads on my forehead. I couldn’t help but curse under my breath wondering why it had to be today.
The door cracked open and I closed my eyes immediately but I couldn’t pretend to be asleep because of the sweat beads on my head.
##
Gerard had already taken a bath and was surprised to see Ayla asleep already. His lips curled upwards and he walked over to her side to kiss her good night.
Suddenly, she turn around cleaning the sweat on her forehead and he couldn’t help but smile at her sleeping behaviour. However, he bent and kissed her forehead.
He sighed and turned around to leave but stopped in his steps when he sensed her uneasiness.
Gerard’s brow raised and he turned around only to see Ayla struggling in her sleep. Her brows were furrowed and she didn’t look comfortable at all.
“Did something happen?” he wondered then hurried close to her to feel her temperature. It wasn’t hot at all but t she was sweating and looked as though she was not comfortable.
“Could it be the bed? Or is she having a nightmare?” Ayla heard all that he was saying and wished she did a better job at concealing it be that unfortunately, she was married to a nonhuman and sensing these things would be easy.
“Ayla?” he shook her slightly but she didn’t open her eyes. This only got him more worried.
He reached for his phone and was about to call someone when he felt her hand on his.
He raised his brow and looked at her confused. He dropped the phone and took her hand worried.. “What happened? Did you have a nightmare? Should I call a doctor?” he asked so many questions at the same time and Ayla could only chuckle seeing him worry like a scared aunt.
