Chapter 138: Chapter 138

I went back to my seat and looked at her again. I rolled my eyes at the entire household.

“I didn't know you were rich. I thought you would have to work another 18 hours just to feed your child.”

"Will I accept that as a compliment or insult?" She did not leave her position and remained standing in front of me.

I raised an eyebrow at her and closed my eyes again. “I will think of a plan. My body and brain is aching, I need to rest first. I still can't think straight.”

***

I’m not aware of how I fell asleep or when she left in front of me.

I just woke up when someone tapped me on the cheek.

But perhaps because of my terrible feeling I ignored the person and continued to sleep.

"Hey wake up." The voice was weak but it was deep as if irritated.

I couldn't help it either and I opened my eyes.

“What—!”

I couldn’t continue what I was about to say when I saw how close Raymond’s face was to me. I was almost dizzy because his nose was like a knife in edge.

I stepped back on the sofa even though I had nothing to back up. It was as if a horse was chasing my heart. Maybe it was because of the shock of his sudden appearance.

"Do you know that you're disturbing my deep slumber!" I tried to be brave but he just glared at my face and I pulled my head back.

"What's the matter with you ..." I couldn't recognize my voice because of its softness which I hadn't done before.

"Stay away from me!" I screamed and pushed his face away. I also got up and ran up the stairs.

Because possibly, I just woke up so my whole being was shaken. His forehead furrowed as I grabbed the handrail of the stairs.

"I won't eat you, don't worry." he was bored when he remarked and put his both hands in his pockets.

I heard the fast footsteps that coming towards us. I looked up because the sound was coming from the second floor.

“What happened here?!” Luna asked in a loud voice as her eyes widened. Her chest also went up and down.

"Y-your guard!" I pointed at Raymond and looked at her. "He ... He -" I can't continue what I want to say because I don't know what he did to startled me.

“I woke you up because that's what ma'am Luna said. She wants you to move to a more comfortable bed.” He shrugged as if he just didn't care about everything.

"Leilani?" She asked me and waiting for an answer.

I shook my head and glared and Raymond who was now smiling. Demon!

“Ask Raymond for your room, you can rest in there. I brought you here because I can't go to my house in Guangdong. Your husband often visits there, so he might see you.” She instructed Raymond.

I looked at the man and saw that his face had turned into a poker face. Luna left and came back to her room.

We watched her disappear from our sight and Raymond followed on foot. I watched his graceful body.

When he was at the end of the stairs and I was still not moving, he turned to me.

"Are you just going to stop there?" He asked me an irritable question.

"Mannerless." I can't stop uttering.

"What?"

"Nevermind."

We headed to the end of the second floor. There are hanging paintings and various other types of posters in the house.

But only one photo caught my attention. A large portrait with Luna's obvious face and posture.

"If my husband did the same to me, I probably wouldn't betray him." I chuckled.

"If people know how to be content, there will be no reason why they commit adultery." He didn't stare at me but my ear throbbed at what he commented.

“Who are you to say that? People become bad because of what is done to them!” I stopped and madly shouted.

He did not answer but I continued. “Have you ever been in a situation where you ask yourself why they did that to you? Have you ever felt depress because you can't see what's wrong why they would hurt you ?!”

He did not answer my question.

"Who are you to say that I can't be satisfied so I had another man?!" I was not aware that my tears were already dripping.

"I did not say anything-"

“But that's what you're conveying! I just want to repay him! I want him to see that I can do what he does!” I burst out and I couldn’t stand myself anymore.

“If you can live with insatiable retribution, you only confine yourself more and prevent you from achieving true happiness. You will remain in the dark as long as there is hatred in your chest.” He stopped speaking and opened the door. "You can go inside."

He left me thinking. He is mistaken in his definition of hatred. Anger drives you to why you have committed something you are not doing. This will mold you.

If I can't get the real pleasure, I'll just choose that as long as I can make sure that even he won't experience that thing. Luke and I started out happy, it’s also not bad that we end up from our hatred for each other.

I went inside and didn't lose sight of what we had talked about.

Luna POV

"Mark, is there still no news about Adonis?"

I went out into the garden and saw him sitting while smoking.

He adjusted his seat when he saw me and threw away the cigarette he was holding. He turned to me with disappointment is evident in his face.

“I still don't have an update on where he is. I'm sorry, ma'am Luna.”

I shook my hand and smiled.

Adonis never called me again and I think he ever planned too.
