THE LONG LOST LOVE (T3L) - Chapter 58:I Will Keep Coming Every Morning
Aslan went to the dining room alone while Athena was still in the shower. Once he opens the door, he sees that his little sister was there with Jye Yin at the dining table.
“Hey, pumpkin. When did you come here?” he asks casually.
“Morning big bro. Yesterday night. Did your beloved wife did not said to you that I was here?” Raisya lifts up her eyebrow.
“Hmm. Maybe she forgot to tell me.”
“Morning As..” Jye Yin greets cheerfully. Her face looks brighter, even more, when she saw him.
“Morning.” He replies in short.
“Got to go to your office today?”
“Yup. Annual meeting”
“Oh..you must be tired. Every year you will complaint to me that you were so exhausted after the meeting right?” she giggling when remember those moments.
“Hmm..yeah.” He looks at his breakfast and eats it without looking at her.
Athena went to the dining room when Raisya and Jye Yin had a lively conversation.
“Morning.” She greets everyone at the dining hall.
“Morning, I never know that you usually let my brother going down first and eat without you.” Raisya smirking to her.
“Well, I..”
“I was the one who tired her out last night. After all, I never set rules for my wife need to prepare me my breakfast and even going down before me.” Aslan interjecting. He looks at Raisya with a sharp gaze.
Raisya bit her lower lips. She was intent to make Athena look bad in front of her brother.
Athena just ignoring the talk. She takes a sit beside Aslan and starts to eat her breakfast.
While Jye Yin looks at both of the ‘considered as siblings’. She smiling inside her heart.
“Oh, Raisya dear…Don’t make such a fuss about it. We live in modern days. A wife who let the husband do all the things is normal these days. You can find it everywhere right Athena?”
Athena turns to look at Jye Yin. Somehow, she feels like Jye Yin had a bad way to manipulated things around them.
She lifts up her eyebrow a bit. ” I don’t know. Because my husband is a considerate and responsible person. I don’t know what you mean by ‘husband do all the things’ here. We do all things together. I don’t see where my husband does all the things alone.”
Jye Yin makes a touched face. She put down her knife and put her hand on her chest.
“Aww..you’re so lucky. You should thank your sister for abandoning the wedding that day. Because of her, you were able to marry my best friend here. Otherwise, who knows what kind of woman who will be so lucky right?”
Athena feels hurt by her word. It’s like she said that it just a stroke of stupid luck to marry him and if it’s not because of Aurora’s he will end up with Jye Yin and lead a happy family right now.
Aslan shakes his head. “Enough with this topic.”
“I was the one who decides to stay by her side. Do not question my reason and motive. You get it, Jye Yin?”
Jye Yin smile. “Of course. I just worried that you might get hurt. That’s all. She used to hurt you a lot and it makes me worried.”
Raisya turns her head to Jye Yin. ‘Hurt him? A lot?’
Athena scrunches her eyebrow. ‘Hurting Aslan? When?’
Wipe his corner of lips with cloth, he stands up after that.
“It’s in the past. Do not talk about it anymore.” He shot Jye Yin a glare.
Jye Yin just shrugged her shoulder. “Fine.”
Turn to look at Athena, he bends his body and kisses her lips. “I need to go now, I’ll call you when I free, okay?” His eyes turn soft.
“Okay.” Athena smiles lovingly to him.
….
Once Aslan walks out from the dining room, the atmosphere surrounds them turns to dead silence.
Finishing her breakfast, Jye Yin said to Athena.
“I’ll be going to my regular checkup for the baby. I need someone to send me to the hospital.”
“Ah! I’ll go with you.” Raisya offers her help.
“Oh, Thanks Raisya dear.”
“I ask the chauffeur to send you both.” Said, Athena.
“Thanks. I should change my clothes right now.” Jye Yin went to her room leaving Raisya and Athena at the dining room.
“Regarding that, it’s not me who decides it. Your brother set those rules. Maybe you can ask him later.”
“And..what did Jye Yin said earlier? Is it true that you hurt my brother so many times before? I know you guys know each other since you were a child, right?”
Athena feels disturbing by the question and the cold voice from Raisya. She didn’t even use the honorific to call her name, but with Jye Yin she calls her ‘sis’.
She could feel that Raisya doesn’t like her. She more favor at Jye Yin over her.
“I also not sure about it. I had no memory that I hurt your brother in any way.”
‘Except for that time only.’
“Huh…so you telling me that sis Jye Yin lying to me? But why is my brother reaction telling me that she speaks the truth? I wonder. Is it really Jye Yin who lying or you.” She scoffs before she continues again.
“Whatever, I will bring sis Jye Yin to the right wings for strolling. My brother never said that I can’t go in there right? So it doesn’t matter who I bring to the right wings.”
After saying that, Raisya walk out from the dining room leaving Athena alone. She sighing and rub her forehead a bit.
‘What is it? Did I forget something?’
…..
Aurora opens her door ready to go to work.
“Oh my goodness!” She was shocked seeing Yin Li was standing in front of her door.
“Uh…What are you doing here Mr. Yin? Did I forgot to fill anything in the document?”
Shake his head, he said “No.”
“Then?”
“Then…I just feel like I wanna take a walk with you to your workplace before I go to my workplace after that.” He smiles.
Aurora was stunned a bit seeing him smile. It feels like years ago when the last time she saw him smiling to her. Her heart starts to pounding again.
“Sorry, but I’m in hurry. I don’t have time to joke around. If there is nothing, then excuse me.” she passes by him and went to the lobby lift
Yin Li following her from behind.
Ding!
Elevator door open and both of them went inside the elevator.
Aurora feels a bit uncomfortable with Yin Li standing close behind her because it’s still in the morning, the elevator is full of people who want to go to work.
She could smell his fragrance. She could also feel his breathing. This kind of setting makes her feel so much in trouble.
She tried very hard to suppress her feeling for not falling to him again. But why did her heart is so stubborn? And why is he also start to turning to her again?
Isn’t he was the one who said that he doesn’t love her, the one who wants a divorce so badly. And why he tries to seduce her again? What’s the meaning of this?
“Hey, why you look so tension?” Yin Li ask.
Open her eyes a bit, she looks up to him and said, “You made me like this early in the morning, Mr. Yin.”
She still calls him Mr. Yin. The name she used feel a bit distance for Yin Li. It feels like a complete stranger to her.
“Is that so? Then you might endure it in the future too. Because I will keep coming every morning.”
“Urgh..” she groans and rolled her eyes.
Once they arrive at the lobby, Aurora walks to her workplace followed by Yin Li behind her. They not talking a single word at all.
