Touching Your Heart
Harmonious Couple

Feeling greatly disappointed by Kayden, Gwen embraced herself with both hands. He sobbed and momentarily tried to think, did Kayden punish him for Rainer?

Rainer Kim, the name slipped like a puff of ice-cold air that felt piercing into the pores of the skin. “Go!” he whispered grimly seeing the presence of the man inside his head.

Five minutes later, the sound of movement from the bathroom made Gwen immediately wipe her tears. Quickly, she took off her shapeless dress from her body, and replaced it with a satin robe. His fingers trembled as he wrapped the belt, his teeth twitching behind his tightly clenched lips as anger began to erupt within him.

“I have to get rid of the name Rainer from my head,” said Gwen bitterly.

The bathroom door opened and Gwen walked towards Kayden with her chin raised, her eyeballs twinkling in bitter anger. “Don't ever do that to me again!” he said, straight to Kayden's pale face. Still in a fit of rage, she passed her husband to the bathroom, then slammed the door behind him.

Gwen's chest rose and fell, her tiny fingers clenched and opened at her side. The black-eyed monster named jealousy actually made his heart seem to be sliced so much that he felt like clawing at the man.

Gwen continued to rage inwardly as she took off what was left of her clothes, then stepped under the shower.

“Gosh ..” Suddenly his cries broke again under the sizzling warm shower, and he could not stop it. It was like riding a roller coaster to the point that it seemed like he could not bear this feeling. The feeling exceeded his heartache when Rainer appeared to him.

However, Kayden was once again there. He had to stop and admit the wrong he made before Gwen tortured herself more than this. Therefore, one hand of Kayden turned off the shower faucet, while the other hand held Gwen's arm, pulling the woman out of the shower room to hit the chest of her field. In the next instant, his bathrobe was thrown onto Gwen's shoulders, and his two sturdy arms hugged his wife.

“I'm really sorry and really sorry.” Kayden's voice ruffled as Gwen leaned in her arms, letting everything flood out of her.

Gwen fell silent, not responding to him. However, he knew very well that Kayden said it sincerely with all his heart. Evidently from his trembling fingers when the man tightly hugged his tiny body, implying a deep sense of regret. After all, Gwen realized tonight's great fight wasn't entirely Kayden's fault. He took part in provoking the other bad side of the man so that he behaved so.

Due to crying for too long, Gwen felt weak immediately before she finally left. Kayden himself said nothing amid the silence that followed his emotional storm. He simply passed Gwen's limp hand to the sleeve of the bathrobe, wrapped it around her body, tied it tightly, then carried her to the bed.

In the end Gwen fell asleep in a bathrobe wrapped in Kayden's arm. He gets a strange comfort when Kayden does not remove his bathrobe so they curl up comfortably in a sheath of soft white towels.

The next morning, Gwen wakes up and finds Kayden is not in bed. And as he was about to get out of his soft bed, Gwen frowned at the sight of a piece of paper on the nightstand next to his bed. Slowly, his hand reached out to pick up the paper for him to read.

It was from Kayden. Her husband left only a short message telling her where he was going, but gave no clue as to how he felt this morning over Gwen's angry outburst last night. Although Kayden had expressed regret last night, but his wife wanted to hear him again in an already stable emotional state.

Gwen sighed, hating her own failure because of Rainer's ghost which she still couldn't overcome. And she hated Kayden for avoiding her this morning, leaving her anxious to think alone about her husband's mood.

Instantly, Gwen's mood turned into defiance. If Kayden could stay up this morning, he could.

This morning I had a business meeting with my co-workers. I'll be back at the hotel at about one o'clock and we can go to lunch together. That's how the letter is.

Gwen took a deep breath, then exhaled violently. Then, he said, “I don't want to be here at one noon!” He decided. Although, he did not know where to go.

What Gwen knew now was that the need to get outside in this hotel room was getting stronger. Before stepping into the bathroom, he hurriedly searched for his bag to get his passport and money. Feeling that the equipment was enough, Gwen immediately went to the bathroom, and rushed to clean her body.

Gwen is seen wearing a simple red soft cotton blouse, combined with white cotton trousers. Without waiting for long, he immediately got off with his passport and money stored safely in his shoulder bag, along with his sunglasses and wallet.

Before Gwen really enjoyed this day alone, she first exchanged her money for dollars to the money exchange agent at the hotel to make things easier.

While waiting for his turn, Gwen is intrigued by the conversation of a middle-aged Chinese couple standing in line. He found the couple taking a tour around the City of London with other groups.

Out of curiosity, Gwen finally ventured to ask the middle-aged woman, “Excuse me, can I join your entourage?”

The woman frowned, a little surprised by his honesty. “We?”

“Ya,” replied Gwen quickly full of confidence. “Oh, but you don't have to worry about the extra cost. I'll gladly pay for it.”

“Not because of the money problem, Miss. But—”

“Oh .. come on, honey,” said the middle-aged man who was next to the old woman. “Let him come. There is one empty seat.” A smile rose from a face that was no longer young before introducing himself to Gwen. “My name is Endru and this is my wife Emma.”

Gwen nodded with a smile. “I, Gwen.” As if to be sure and throw away his doubts, he asked, “But ... is there really an empty seat for me?”

“Of course,” replied Endru, ending his genuine smile.

Both of Gwen's eyes sparkled happily after hearing the answer. His smile did not escape his face. However, before long the smile that adorned his face disappeared instantly. A disappointed look of face appeared in a flash as Emma who was standing in front of him again let out her voice.

“Didn't Leo just a few hours ago tell us one by one to divide this group into two parts, because the boat seats are limited?”

“Nah, Babe. That's right, a few hours ago,” said Endru. “But according to Helen ten minutes ago, the son of Mr and Miss. Rodrigo did not take this trip because he was tired and wanted to enjoy his rest in a hotel room. It also happens that they are included in our ship group," he explained. "Sorry, I forgot to tell you that."

“Wait a minute,” Emma said as she frowned. “you mean that eighteen-year-old handsome son?”

Endru rolled his eyes lazily. “Oh .. Come on, darling. The child's face is ordinary. You don't see any pimples growing around his cheeks,” he said half-mockingly while shuddering in horror. “So I make sure he's still far from me who was better-looking than him.” He snorted in annoyance before continuing his sentence, “must I remind you again that I really do not like it if you praise the good looks of other men than your more handsome husband?”

Emma chuckled to hear her husband sulking at her. And like an electric current, Emma's laughter flows to Gwen who smiles at the behavior of a harmonious couple despite their age.

“You're jealous of that bokeh huh?” Emma chuckled while embracing the possessive arm of Endru so that her husband's face grew sullen. “We've lived thirty years together, baby. Even if I say all the men in the whole universe are handsome, but in my deepest heart my husband is more handsome than they are. So, stop being jealous because I believe God created you for me to love. And God chose you over the others because he knew I loved you the most.”

“Ya, Lord ..” said Endru immediately turned his head towards his wife. “As usual, you're smarter please my heart.” Then, he kissed Emma's lips that smiled at him. “I'm crazy about you because I love you so much, tesoro.”

Gwen smiled faintly and her heart immediately warmed when she saw the couple. She was so amazed to Emma that the words thrown from her lips melted her husband's jealousy.

Of jealousy? Suddenly Gwen remembered her own husband. The man always showed his aggressive attitude if Gwen accidentally mentioned the name of her half-sister. However, would Kayden still be jealous of another man other than his half-sister? thought grimly.
