Trapped Married By Young Master - Chapter 24
“You asked me to find clothes for you?” asked Spider, blushing. It was one of Spider’s expressions that he never showed to anyone other than Luci.
Luci nodded firmly, firmly in her heart, which was currently very eager to allow Spider to become one of the people that Luci could trust.
“Yeah, do you mind? I don’t have anyone else I can turn to for help,” Luci nodded. She forced her face to be as warm as possible, although now Luci was very tired and sleepy.
Spider didn’t answer anything, he was so surprised and happy when he saw that there was an opening and an opportunity for him to get closer to Luci. All the disappointment that had approached him was pushed and gone. All of his current disappointment had been replaced with the warmth of joy welling up in his heart.
Spider seemed to feel the warmth of the sun, which came across to even penetrate the walls of this hospital. Then the morning light now infiltrated and warmed Spider’s body, his heart, his head, his sorrow, and his disappointment. It felt very comfortable.
“Why are you silent? Can’t you do it for me?” This time Luci turned to be doubtful and confused. Luci thought that her approach could make Spider happy and willing to help her. Luci also thought that Spider looked like he wanted to be involved in some things that could help Luci.
But what Luci saw now, Spider was silent and didn’t answer. Was Luci exaggerating? Did Luci look rude?
Luci hesitated. Maybe she should clarify that Luci was just trying to lighten the mood. Or Luci might be able to say that she didn’t turn to Spider for help.
The two people even now sat in silence with each other. Luci felt awkward, Spider who was daydreaming with joy. “I -”
“Yeah, I’m going to find it now. What kind of clothes do you want? Gown? blouse? Fashion design? Ah, no it’s going to be too long. Mmmm,” Spider mumbled in deep thought.
“Wait a minute! Hey, wait a minute! I mean, is that okay? Are you okay with me asking for help like this?” Luci gasped in disbelief. Even she almost thought that she had offended Spider. After all, Spider was older than Luci, and in the past Spider was Luci’s adoptive brother.
Therefore, asking for things like finding clothes when Luci was able was not an exaggeration? Wasn’t asking something like that outrageous?
But what Luci saw now Spider was like joy. Even his warm smile turned very bright and wide. Spider could tear his mouth open if he kept smiling like that.
Luci failed to conclude carefully and precisely. She didn’t know the exact meaning of that big smile. But Luci seemed to understand that Spider didn’t mind Luci asking him for help. It made Luci feel somewhat relieved if only a little.
“Are you okay?” asked Luci rather hesitantly. She was not good at asking about the condition of someone she just met, except for her beloved client. Luci would be very friendly more than anyone to her clients. Even Luci would not hesitate to be flirtatious, just to prove that Luci was good at acting and playing many characters.
Spider seemed to have just woken up from his immeasurable joy. In his mind just now, he was thinking about his relationship with Luci in the future. Spider had imagined they had cute children. Then the daydream was instantly shattered when Luci asked him how he was.
“I’m fine, Bee. Why do you ask me that?” Spider blushed. Spider thought Luci was starting to give a burst of love in her heart through the little attention that Luci had just given him. Spider felt it was a romantic thing.
“It’s okay, just making sure,” Luci succinctly accompanied by honesty.
But for Spider, Luci’s answer was different. Currently, for Spider, Luci was maintaining his image or acting mysterious and selling high prices. ‘Looks like Bee’s starting to take an interest in me,’ thought Spider.
The clock showed seven AM. The sun was rising with a very beautiful and bright light. Usually, at seven AM, Luci would go to the bookstore to read. The undercover profession like her requires a lot of research so that her disguise looks convincing when carrying out missions.
And who knew that at seven AM Luci had to be in the hospital with one of her adopted brothers who had been separated from her for a dozen years? Maybe this was indeed the answer to one of Luci’s hopes. Luci hoped that she would not be alone in this world. Then God brought Luci with one of her adoptive families and they were starting to have a good relationship now.
“So you don’t mind getting me some clothes?” asked Luci who was now starting to earnestly ask for help. Her body was already sticky with sweat, not to mention all the fatigue in her body wouldn’t go away if Luci didn’t take a shower.
“Certain. Do you still like florals?” Spider asked still with enthusiasm. His smile was still very wide that currently graced his lips.
“Uh, no. I don’t like motives like that anymore,” Luci lied. Luci still liked flower-patterned clothes because she was a very cheerful person, even now when she saw flower-patterned clothes, Luci was still often persuaded to buy them.
But when Luci wore a floral print, she would think of Daniel. Because when with Daniel, Luci often wore clothes with floral motifs. Therefore, after Daniel’s death, Luci was no longer able to wear clothes with that motif.
“Is that true? You’ve changed a lot then. Then what motive do you like?” Spider asked the question back.
“Plain. Just give me a sleeveless t-shirt. I would love it, it’s very comfortable. Get some gray if you don’t mind,” answered Luci. The color gray looked sad to her. With that color, Luci wanted to always grieve about Daniel’s death. Until now Luci was still not even able to let go of the parting of Daniel who had left this mortal world.
“Okay. I’ll have one of them buy it for you. Besides, I can’t leave you here alone after what you went through last night. You better sleep. Or if you don’t want to, we can talk at length,” said Spider very happily.
He felt that he had received a lot of attention from Luci. Spider had also won Luci’s trust. Now Spider just needed to make Luci more comfortable with him. That way their approach to a more serious realm could be more easily realized.
In his own heart Spider couldn’t stop smiling. Finally, he met Luci, his first love. And finally, the door to marriage began to open slowly. Spiders couldn’t help but design all their needs in the future.
All the fantasies and hopes that Spider builds about Luci were still warm and growing and blooming. Because he still didn’t know that Luci already had a man in her heart.
