This morning after finishing breakfast, Ai resumed his activities. It is here that Mily is now organizing the room by adding some small furniture. Like mirrors, paintings and vases.

“ mistress I want to ask?”milly asked no longer able to hold back her curiosity.

“ talk Milly” replied Ai while continuing to put the dresses into the closet.

“ em, said the waiter yesterday when scolded master, mistress had been hit. Is true?” Ai stopped her activities for a moment. Surprised by the question Milly asked.

“ no,” short Ai.

“ says they mistress yell” Milly keeps digging data.

“ oh that, I wasn't hit. Just shocked when Axton flipped the file. Really yesterday was the most gripping afternoon“ said Ai who laughed at how angry Axton yesterday. Just because he saw him playing shootouts had gone berserk like that. Axton hasn't seen Ai shoot while holding a horse. It'll be even more angry.

“ you are right madam, yesterday was the most gripping day after the day of the death of the previous mistress “ Millay replied lightly. Unfortunately not for Ai. Hearing this Ai became interested and curious. With Milly's hand to the bed. They both sat facing each other on the side of the bed.

“ actually how could both of Axton's previous wives die?, according to the news they killed Axton?” asked Ai with her innocent face.

“ em, I also don't know mistress “ Milly hesitate to say what she knows.

“ hemm, come on tell me. Didn't you work here since the second wife moved here?” Ai continued to urge, so that her curiosity was treated. Since it was impossible to also ask Axton directly, the coldest mustard most instantly left upon hearing his question.

“ I only know if Miss Kyliee died by suicide not by suicide. According to Chole's servant as well, both of the late master's wives died by suicide” Milly brought her face closer so that her voice was not too loud.

‘ equals my story. If I don't go back to this time, maybe in the future one Bavarian must be talking about the death of 3 of Axton's wives who died by suicide. Huh, strange destiny’

“ lady,,” Ai who had been laughing now his consciousness is back.

“ ah yes” Ai directly answered Milly's call who knows how many.

“ do you know why they killed themselves?” Ai continued to scrape the news. They may have had the same reason for death.

“ I don't know mistress, but they got into a great fight with the lord before passing” Milly looked Ai in. Yesterday afternoon his master was furious with his mistress. Milly is worried that this time her mistress also chose to commit suicide.

“ why do you see me like that?” asked Ai who was troubled by Milly's gaze.

“ mistress do not ever think of suicide after scolded sir ya” Ai exhaled rough after knowing the reason for the gaze in Milly, it turns out she was so worried about him.

“ ih, not” said Ai wrong behavior.

‘I've already’ Ai replied inwardly  

Days kept changing, Axton was still busy with military matters. He kept going back and forth between the residence and Barack. This time even though Ai was heartbreaking and even whined to follow Axton firmly forbid it. It's enough with the show shooting, Axton does not want any other events.

Dinner this time a little made Ai tasteless. There's an uninvited guest here, who else if not Grace. Axton told him to stay temporarily in the residence as long as Axton wasn't around. Axton has started on duty, one time in charge takes a few weeks to come back. Usually Axton does not really care when he can go home, but this time because there Ainsley makes Axton a little unwilling to leave it too long.

When there is no mistress of the residence, everything about the residence will be arranged by Grace while Axton is on duty, then this time Grace becomes Ai's right hand to take care of the residence. This has been decided without the need to ask Ai, of course after knowing that Ai is really upset. Can't resist.

“ I'm full” Ai who only ate a few mouthfuls instantly stood up leaving the table.

Axton saw it was silent, he thought Ai must be sulking because she was not allowed to come to Barack this morning.

In the room Ai continues to grumble about Axton's decision unilaterally.

“ basic cold muster, as you please yourself. Not the past not the present is still the Grace she relies on. Can't let me take care of myself. Set up this quiet house what is difficult, what matters is there is money. Ih. Egoistic basis, at will alone “ Ai continues to dialogue alone. While hitting innocent pillows on his bed.

Tok

not yet answered, Axton went straight into the room. Sitting on the couch.

“tomorrow early in the morning I'll be leaving. Anything you want to say?” Axton tries to lure his wife, who knows Ai will hold her back. If so, Axton could use a duty permit that he has never used.

“ no, you just go” replied Ai Ketus. All of Axton's wishful thinking was shattered instantly. I can only smile bitterly. Without the need to linger Axton immediately stood up. Ai was actually a little filled with words from Axton. In the past, Axton never once said goodbye to him.

“ hem, take good care of yourself. Eat regularly” Ai messages when Axton will close the door. This Kalimt brings a breath of fresh air to Axton's heart. When the door was closed Axton smiled happily.

Last night Ai could not sleep, Axton's departure this time he had known before. This is exactly the same in the past. The difference is only when Axton say goodbye last night. Ai was really worried that the situation after that would reoccur. As Axton ignores him, and soon word of his affair with Grace is smelled by him. Axton's return will be a crucial moment, somehow Ai will change the incident. Whether it works or not. Ai kept daydreaming while waiting for the morning time to arrive.

Before fahar looks Ai already downstairs. Sitting on the living room couch to wait for Axton.

“ are you here?” Axton is shocked by his wife's presence in the living room.

“ a, I want to take you away” I see wrong behavior.

Axton gives Brian a code to wait for him on the train.

“ come” said Axton as he spread out his hands. Ai who knew Axton's desire hesitantly walked over.

“ don't worry me” said Axton. They hugged, Axton's hand rubbed Ai's back slowly. Ai just nodded small. Somehow her heart was so sad to let go of her husband.

“ I'll be right back” Axton let go of his embrace. Tidying up Ai's hair and suddenly kissing his wife's forehead. Ai who felt a wet kiss on her forehead suddenly stiffened. Can't say anything.

After that, Axton walked away. Ai with a soft look followed Axton until he disappeared behind the door. Immediately go up to the room and open the balcony. From up there the Axton train is visible. Ai was still faithfully watching until the reflection of the carriage disappeared in the distance.
