My Bucin for My Husband
Chapters 10

However, Sean could not help but laugh. He laughed because he got the impression that his wife told him heartwarming things for the sake of another man.

Akila.

He could not understand why the man was laughing. Maybe he said something wrong.

The man's low voice entered his ears once again,

"Darling, you told me such wonderful things tonight. Do you want to go out again?"

Akila hurriedly shook his head.

"I'm telling the truth. I'm not saying this for fun, or so I can get out, and I definitely don't lie to you" Akila said.

"Then, tell me, why are you suddenly no longer hating the person you once hated so much? All this time you wanted a divorce, and now all of a sudden, you don't want it anymore?" Sean asked.

Akila was surprised for a moment.

Surely, he couldn't possibly have told her if she had realized that the man was the love of her life after her previous death experience?

"Sean, you have to trust me. I'm not lying to you, I swear."

Akila raised her hand without a second thought, but Sean grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace.

The man chuckled softly, furrowing the corners of his lips in mockery.

"Darling, I remember you once swore that you didn't want to be my wife even to death, and now you're swearing entirely about something else - are you trying to curse yourself?" Said Sean.

'Did I really dig a grave that big for myself in a previous life?' Akila thought as she was confused by the answer.

Sean won't let me swear, is it because he's afraid it'll come true?

His heart felt like it was tightly gripped by a hand, causing his breathing to become sluggish.

Akila wanted to open her mouth to explain herself but it turned out to be beyond her ability.

He could not retract the words he had spoken in his previous life, and he could not retract the things he had done to hurt the man.

Akila now realizes that once you have hurt someone, it will be harder to make her believe your words.

The low voice of the man sounded in his ears,

"Do you love me? Even if it's just for a moment, have you ever loved me?"

Akila. Of course, he loves Sean.

The man was the only person who was truly kind to him, the only person who cared more about him than his own life.

Even on his last breath, the man was worried that he would be intimidated by others.

Such a man deserves to be accompanied for the rest of their lives and deserves his love.

But even if Akila told him these things now, would the man believe her?

The girl's silence was as expected.

His voice was low and heavy after a long period of pressure. Every word entered Akila's ears, making her stiff and nervous.

When the man felt Akila's body stiffen, Sean curled the corner of his lips in mockery.

"You said touching words, but your body's reaction was very honest."

It was then that Akila realized her body was stiff from nervousness. This was an instinctive reaction, one that was not within his control.

Sean must have mistaken this to mean that he hated body contact with her.

Sean's dumbfounded.

He looked at the woman who was within his reach tonight. With the help of the moonlight, he could see how his eyes were filled with stars - so dazzling.

This was the first time the woman had called him husband.

'Hearing my wife call me, husband is heartwarming.' Think Sean.

Sean's eyes turned dark. He subconsciously licked his dry lips, feeling a little out of control.

Akila slightly lowered her gaze. His palm was wet with sweat from nervousness. However, he forced himself to remain seated there, motionless, as if waiting.

Sean tightened his grip around the sheets and finally, got up and got out of bed.

Although there was no trace of light in the room, the man easily headed to the bathroom, having gotten used to the layout of the room, before closing the door with a thud.

The atmosphere in the room initially felt stifled, but after Sean's departure, the airflow pressure gradually reduced.

Akila's already nervous expression grew increasingly tense. Not only did Sean not believe it, but he also further enraged him.

Shouldn't Akila call that man her husband?

...

Right now, the bathroom is completely dark. Only moonlight enters through the window illuminating the bathtub.

Sean's tall and slender body sat in the bathtub. The cold water inside the bath reached his waist and the front of his bathrobe was opened.

At night, only the outer lines of his sharp side profile and high nasal shaft could be seen.

A cigarette stuck between his thin fingers. He took her to his lips and pulled her. White smoke flew into the night sky until it slowly vanished.

In his head, Sean repeated Doctor Rendy's words.

"Do you want your hands to be deformed?"

Sean still had to protect his woman, so, all he could do was hold her back.

At the beginning of the next day, the first rays of sunlight shone through the window.

Akila, who was sound asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. He sat on the bed reflexively, and it was at that moment that he realized that he was the only person in the room.

His original intention was to wait until Sean came out of the bathroom. How did he fall asleep?

Akila quickly picked up her phone and looked at the clock. It was 07:30, it was still early enough that Sean should not have left for work.

In a hurry, Akila got out of bed, put on her sandals, and had just reached the door when she met Aunt Santi who was clean.

Akila was in a hurry to have breakfast with Sean, she turned around and left the room without even greeting Aunt Santi.

This behavior, in Aunt Santi's eyes, was considered the result of embarrassment. Confused, his eyes looked at the Madam who was in a hurry to leave. An amused expression gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Mr Sean and Mrs Akila slept together last night - it's great to see them get along well" Aunt Santi thought.

After tidying up the workspace and lounge, Aunt Santi left with a smile.

After seeing Aunt Santi coming down from the second floor with a smiling face, the other Housekeeper asked, "Aunt Santi, what is something joyous happening?"

"I saw the Madam leave the study when I went there to clean it up. Isn't this considered a joyous thing?" Aunt Santi whispered with a smile on her face.

"You mean Mr. Sean and Mrs Akila......" Understanding appeared on the Housekeeper's face, followed by a smile.
