Dream Star

Lila rolled her eyes, "I"ve been coming here for a while now, and I cleaned things up a bit. It really was a mess when I first came," she tapped her fingers on the table. "Oh, it"s still dusty, I need a cloth."

"You"re going to clean now of all times? you have a concert later on."

"Cleaning won"t kill me," Lila smiled. "Besides, don"t you want to stay here again? This villa is larger than the other house."

Well, it"s not like that matters to him. While he is used to living in luxury now. Haruka isn"t ungrateful, he hasn"t forgotten the days where he had absolutely nothing. Haruka plopped himself down on the couch, and Lila fetched some cleaning supplies out of the cabinet.

Honestly, he still felt a bit overwhelmed with everything. Lila remembers that they were dating before. She even cleaned this house up.

"Honey, instead of staring. Help."

"You know, I"m pretty bad at cleaning."

Lila sighed, "You have to start learning. Do you expect me to do the cleaning all the time?"

Now that he thought about it, Lila just naturally does the cleaning for them. But if they live in a huge place like this...

"Maybe we should forget it."

She sent him a harsh glare, "Don"t be lazy. I"ve already decided that we will live here when the house is fixed up."

…..

"Didn"t you take a shower for me?"

Lila blushed and hit him, "I took a shower because the concert is soon."

She changed her clothes too. Is that why she sent him away? Haruka placed the plastic bag on the table and pushed Lila onto the couch. "Wife, weren"t you supposed to show me your stamina? There are two hours left before the concert. If you show me now and can still sing later, then I"ll reward you."

"That"s unfair! You already promised to do whatever I want."

"I know, but then you went ahead and tempted me."

Lila reached over and caressed Haruka"s face, "I love you so much, hubby. ."

"Your really an idiot, you fell for such a terrible man when you had a good guy right beside you," Haruka bit her ear, and she moaned slightly. "My wife, you love me so much. But what will you do about him?"

"I"ll tell him I love you, and that it"s over between us."

"Really? You"d say that to him?"

"Ah-huh, but uh, don"t get mad. I want to announce it during the finals."

Haruka pulled away slightly, "The finals?"

Lila nodded. "Yes, because Kiryu"s music is important to me. Because that stage is very important, on that stage, I will end it with Kiryu through a song. I want it to reach everybody else too. Once upon a time, I loved Kiryu; my feelings for him were so very strong. I don"t want people to think I never cared because I did and for so long. However, in this life, the one I want to be with forever is you and not him."

"People will call you selfish," Haruka mumbled.

"That"s fine, but even if they do, they will understand."

Haruka said nothing to that, where does this girl get her determination and courage from? It makes little sense to him.

"Is the bath working here?"

Lila laughed, "Um, yes. I just used it."

"Take another one," Haruka gently picked her up and brought her to the bathroom.

It always surprised him how light she was. Or maybe for him, holding another person like this is still new. He"s held countless women before, but Haruka always felt disgusted by them.

"Have you lost weight?" Haruka asked as he discarded his clothes and joined her in the tub.

"Uh, I think so...maybe a few pounds."

Haruka frowned, "Why isn"t she eating?" He reached over and brushed his hand on her forehead. It doesn"t seem like she has a fever. "I don"t know what"s wrong. But wife, please eat more."

"Haruka, I have no appet.i.te when I eat alone."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

At that comment, his eyes widened, and he immediately pulled her into his arms, "I"m sorry," he mumbled. It"s because of him again, whenever something happens regarding her - it"s because of him.

"I"m okay, hubby, I"ll be fine. The doctor said I should at least eat some light food like biscuits or porridge or bread when I have no appet.i.te."

Doctor? "When did you go see a doctor?"

"Um, a few days back."

Is she sick enough to go see a doctor? "I"ll be in charge of your food. So, make sure you eat."

"You"ll spoil me, hubby? Okay!" Lila seemed very pleased with this.

She really needs to be more careful. He wants to scold her for being so careless. But it is his fault. It"s not like he is busy enough with work, that he can"t come back home and have a meal with her. Now that he gets a closer look at her, she does seem paler than usual. Haruka nuzzled his face against her cheeks. All he does is hurt her. He wants to protect her, to see her smile always and yet...

"Hubby, you don"t have to feel that bad. It was part of the plan, after all."

"I"m really sorry."

"Okay, okay enough, hubby. I know already. But really you shouldn"t blame yourself too much. This relations.h.i.+p started weirdly, and I didn"t do anything to stop you either. I just let myself get caught up in the flow, I should have spoken up."

"You didn"t, because your kind…"

"And that kindness leads to this," Lila interjected and sighed. "Really, even with all these problems, I never thought about breaking up with you. Or return to Kiryu either. How to put it? Even if I didn"t go to Light town and stayed here in Star town, I would have eventually broken up with Kiryu."

Haruka looked at her with wide eyes. "Huh, but why?"

Lila shook her head, "I feel like I should discuss this with Kiryu first, but then I"ll tell you everything Haruka. However, I"ll tell you this much now. My relations.h.i.+p with him wasn"t as simple as it seemed. It felt like the two of us were lost in our own world. We would block out everybody else and only think about each other. That sounds very sweet; it shows were each other"s priority. We don"t have to worry about third parties intervening. But we neglected everything, even those who cared about us."

Haruka paused and recalled what Austin Kiryu told him a long time ago. "My relations.h.i.+p with Lila was like a dream. It was just us two, and n.o.body else. A world like that is nice, but even if we lose ourselves completely in each other - we could never be truly happy."

It"s the same..

"What about our relations.h.i.+p?"

Lila didn"t reply right away before she nodded, "Let"s see, as strange as our relations.h.i.+p is. It felt like it was more real."

"Real?"

"Mmm, when I was dating Kiryu, there were no problems at all. At least on the surface, everybody found us cute together. We had many people outside our circle of friends and family supporting us. But, we never had issues. At least on the surface. Clearly, there were many things wrong, but we never confronted them. We kept it away. Our relations.h.i.+p," Lila laughed awkwardly. "We had so many problems from the very start, and I was starting to wonder whether I made the right choice or not."

"Lila, that"s.."

Her gaze softened, "But, in the end, I"m glad I erased that thought. You made me so happy, Haruka. We"ve had our ups and downs, but there is no doubt that I love you and only you."

Why does she always do this? How does Lila find a way to render him speechless every single time. She has a way with words - no, Lila has been honest with him from the very start even when she was pretending to be Ari in front of him.

Haruka gently kissed her lips, and she laughed happily. "Hubby, um?"

However, his gaze turned serious, "I love you so much, wife. Once this is over, let"s go on that honeymoon, okay?"

Lila nodded, "Okay," he brought his lips to her shoulders, and a content sigh pa.s.sed her lips. "Hubby, your lips are in a strange place…Unngh…"

Haruka would have laughed, but he was a bit busy, leaving marks on her shoulders. "This will stop you from wearing any strange dresses later."

"Stupid, Haruka, I love you…"

"Me too."

"So hubby, if you love me so much, I have a request," Lila played with his hair. "Can you hear me out?"

"Sure, I"ll do anything for you."

He will do anything for her, because even if he wants to be with her forever. He understands it is impossible. For now, though, he won"t tell Lila any of this. Sc.u.m is sc.u.m no matter what, Sophia"s words and warning have yet to leave his head. She won"t let them live peacefully. His gaze fell on the cheerful girl in his arms; he will do anything to protect her.
