Imperial glowed in the sky shifting to sunrise. The early morning light lightly shines it way through the windows of Jade Condos' penthouse 1503.
Quietness surrounds the inside as a white fluff ball laid asleep peacefully in his bed by the floor to ceiling window.
*click*
His pointy ears perk upwards to the sound of the front door unlocking. He slowly opens his eyes to see who it is.
And there she is. The person he has been waiting for, his favorite human in the whole wide world. The one person he cares about the most.
And there, behind her is number one his archenemy. The man who is always hogging all his mommy's attention.
Looking at the two tall figures, Inu lower his head and close his eyes. As long as his mommy is home and safe, that's all that matters to him. Not only that, he could sense that the atmosphere around the two humans is not so good.
So for now, he will pretend he never saw them and just go back to sleep. Besides, the evil peasant will never harm his mommy.
Sleep, sleep, back to sleep King Inu goes.
"…."
Yue Ling stood at the door and she stare dumbfounded at her baby. She didn't even know whether to laugh or cry. How could he not care that the man behind her is very… upset?
Well, she couldn't blame. If she was him, she would ignore this situation too.
Shaking her head, Yue Ling change into her house slippers and quickly makes a run for the bedroom. However, each step she took, even if she increased her speed, she couldn't help but feel herself shrinking more. Like she had turned into a tiny mouse. Even if she couldn't see the man's face right now, she could feel the intense stare she was receiving from behind.
"I'll go shower first."
Yue Ling spoke out as she grabs a set of sleepwear from her closet room and darted for the bathroom.
"….."
Left behind, Lu Tian stare at the tightly shut door. His expression cold and indifferent as usual, but deep inside, he was dumbfounded. He shook his head lightly and walks to the balcony to have a cigarette.
Inside the bathroom, Yue Ling stood naked in the shower. Warm drizzles of water pour onto her as her mind drifted elsewhere.
"Hmm….."
She sighed every 3 seconds in thoughts of everything that happened tonight.
After they left Retro, Lu Tian did not speak a word. Throughout the entire car ride home, it was quiet and devastating. Especially when she couldn't read what was on his mind.
Will he think she is a liar?
Will he believe her?
What will he think about her?
How is she going to explain everything to him?
Wait….
Will her baby become fatherless?
Outside on the balcony, Lu Tian stood like an immortal looking down to the mundane world. Every so often his hand would move to his mouth to take a puff of the cigarette. His mind wonder to millions of things about the woman he loves.
Who is she really?
No…
Who was she?
At first, he had thought she was only a supermodel who retired from the entertainment industry. At first, he thought he was her first love. However, he had thought wrong.
She wasn't just a retired model, but the designer of a very well known fashion brand and he wasn't her first love.
As if that wasn't enough of a shock, his wife turned out to be a member of Fate.
No….. she is the leader of Fate.
"Tian?"
Lu Tian's eyes slowly blinked at the sound of his name. He kills the cigarette and throws it into the ash bin as he turn around.
"…"
Yue Ling's head poke out from behind the door staring at the man. Her hair damp and her cheeks naturally flushed red.
Seeing her, Lu Tian sighed inside. Whether it was in the morning, midday or at night, he loves the sight of her. Thinking of it, the corner of his mouth curl upwards faintly.
He will not question her about what happened. If she decides to tell him the answers to his I spoke questions, he will accept them.
If she doesn't want to or is uncomfortable, he will not force her.
No matter who she was or is, he will accept everything about her and not judge her. Even if she is the leader of the underworld gang, Fate, he will still continue to love her the same.
Settling with his decision, he slowly walks towards Yue Ling and stops in front of her. Without warning, he lift his hand and held the back of her nape giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"It's cold out here, go inside."
Not waiting for a response, he ushers her back inside and close the door. He strides pass her and heads for the bathroom to shower. His wife is pregnant and he reek of cigarette. It is best to clean up before he can cuddle with her to sleep.
"…"
Yue Ling was at a loss for words. She tilt her head and stare unblinkingly at the broad back of the man. She couldn't tell if Lu Tian is angry or calm. His expression was always the same, except for when he wants to show a small change. She lets out a sigh and turn to the king size bed in the room.
After a long while down, she steals another look at the tightly shut door. Sighing for the hundredth time, she stare into nothingness and she caress her stomach.
"Baby, what should mommy do?"
"Sleep."
"How can I sleep when your dad is upset?"
"I'm not upset, so go to sleep."
"…"
As realization hit Yue Ling in the head, she blinked her eyes then open them widely. Like she was in the movie Matrix, she slowly turn to look at owner of the familiar voice.
