He"s starting to think that his wife has a split personality. Or maybe she"s always been this playful and cunning? Either way, it seems like from now on, she will be the one in charge. His gaze fell on the girl who was ahead of him. They left the restaurant a few moments ago and were heading back to the venue now."Lila," Haruka called out. "Give me your hand."
"Yes?"
"You"ll trip."
Lila chuckled and stepped down from the beam; she landed perfectly in front of him. "You don"t have to worry; I"m a pro at this."Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
"...You"ve been tricking me this entire time, haven"t you?"
She looked at him blankly, and Haruka added. "I didn"t know you were this playful."
Lila reached over and caressed his cheeks, "If you knew I wasn"t a naive woman, would you still have chosen me?"
"Of course, I would have. But I"m still surprised."
"When we first met again, I was quite depressed and in a vulnerable state. Soichiro put me what I would call mental torture for two weeks, and it drove me crazy," Lila sighed at the memory. "It took me time to adjust to being in Light town, without everybody else there with me. So, yes, for a while, I was weak and vulnerable."
"When did that change?"
"Probably when we went to London, and I met Sophia. I realized that woman would stop at nothing to get you, so I figured it was time to shape up and stop brooding."
So since then, so he really noticed nothing.
"Do you hate women like me?" Lila asked.
Haruka looked at her for the first time in a long time. "No, I don"t." Rather, he"s relieved. If she"s stronger than he thought, then she should be able to handle the upcoming storm. "I"d still like to hold your hand."
"When you can have so much more, I wonder why you"d choose my hand," he wondered. Why him?
Haruka relaxed when he felt Lila"s hand in his, "Do you really hold no grudge against me?"
"Well, I have to admit that having so much s.e.x every day takes quite a toll on my fragile body. But," Lila smiled, "I don"t dislike it at all. You"re always rough with me, but you pay attention to every single detail. If I"m out of breath if I feel uncomfortable.."
Haruka hadn"t realized that he had been doing that. But, now that she mentioned it, yes, he does that. Whenever he sees her tired, he would stop for a bit and focus on making her body relax. If it were the old him, he would have just gone at her heavily, and not stopped.
"You pay that much attention?" Haruka is surprised she noticed. She"s always breathless and panting heavily whenever they do it.
Lila smiled, "Of course I do. I love you so much. " she said those words like it was the most natural thing in the world. For the first time in a long time, it felt like he finally saw Lila for who she really was. Would things be different between them now? He certainly hoped so; he wants things to change from now.
Haruka drew her close and kissed her forehead, "I think it will be hard for me, though, controlling myself."
"Aha," she laughed softly. "But that"s why I"ll do it, and you won"t have to feel bad."
"I still feel bad; it feels like your making sacrifices for my sake again."
Lila sighed, "Isn"t it like that? I am sacrificing a lot, no, I have been sacrificing so much for you."
Her words hurt, but Lila is just being honest. He squeezed her hands, "I"m very sorry my wife, what can I do to make it up to you?"
"Then, let me monopolize you," Lila mumbled and nodded. "Yep, you have to let me do whatever I want, and obey all my commands." The girl seemed delighted as she said this.
"So, I"ll basically be your slave."
Lila smiled, "That"s putting it nicely."
Gosh, this is turning him on. He didn"t know his wife could be so seductive and devilish. Haruka stopped walking and pulled Lila into his arms. The moment he did, Haruka inhaled her sweet scent. "Wife, I really want you, what do I do?"
"You have to be patient."
"But, there are hotels nearby."
He really was impatient. These days he is working on self-control around her. So, even when he gets the chance. Haruka doesn"t touch her. Now though, Haruka knew he couldn"t resist.
"Haruka, we have work."
Dammn, this is too much. After teasing him so much, she won"t let him do anything? Haruka doesn"t say anymore, and Lila chuckled as she left his embrace and walked ahead. He really has fallen more in love with her. If it were past him, he would have still gone to Sophia or another girl if something went wrong. But these days whenever he is depressed or upset - he thinks about it alone and then rushes off to find her.
At first, Haruka worried about it, relying on Lila too much. The girl has her fair share of problems. Many things make her uneasy, too, still, like what Austin Kiryu said. His current mindset is a good one. From now on, he should be able to support her despite all the problems. He has to deal with Zane, Miyazawa, and Sophia. The latter, he isn"t sure what to do, though.
That woman is crazy; she really will do anything to get him. The reason he separated from Lila before was because of that stunt she pulled. Asking him out for a drive and then stabbing him at the coastline. Falling off that cliff - even now when Haruka recalled it, it made him shudder. Sophia would do anything to get him to look her way again. After that incidence, Haruka tried to stay clear from her but not distance himself too much. He knew how crazy she got after all.
As long as he occasionally met with her, Sophia was content. No, she seemed happier whenever he slept with other girls. Such an unusual woman, Haruka, realized that he probably never understood her. Exactly what did Sophia want from him?
What did she hope to accomplish with her words with her actions? Even now, Haruka didn"t know what to do. The reason he has done nothing regarding Sophia is because he doesn"t know how to handle her. What can he do to make her stop?
Sophia already proved to him once before, that if he pushes her away too much. She would once again resort to drastic measures. Haruka didn"t want to risk that, especially now he has learned how serious Lila"s current condition is.
His thoughts broke off when Lila stopped walking.
Huh, this place is… despite the now large trees. Haruka could recognize the place. A large house stood in the center of a gorgeous garden.
Haruka tugged on her hand, "You remember?" he mumbled. He didn"t think Lila would bring him here of all places. Then again, Haruka noticed how weird she was acting since this morning.
"A little, it"s still vague for me. But, we dated for a bit in the past?" Lila asked.
He bite his lip, "How come she remembers? Did Zane do something?" Haruka shook his head. No, Zane wouldn"t. Even if things are like this now, Zane won"t try anything. Haruka relaxed at that thought and pulled his wife into his arms. He always liked it whenever he hugged her. It was strangely pleasant for him. Even more, than kissing and having s.e.x with her, Haruka liked this a lot better.
Lila beamed happily, and she wrapped her arms around him. "I"m very happy, Haruka. It seems like no matter how many times people erase my memories. I"ll always fall in love with you."
"Lila.."
"Un, I am relieved. People may say bad things about you and our relations.h.i.+p. But you"ve loved me for a very long time. We may have our problems; however, at the end of the day, you"ve always protected me," Lila looked up from his arms. He saw nothing but tenderness and affection in the girl"s eyes, "Haruka, you probably don"t realize it. How much I love you. But it"s okay. I"ll show you from now on. I"m your wife; There is plenty of time to convince you."
