Chapter 60: Chapter Fifty

LEO

10 fucking pm. It’s 10 fucking pm and this Chinese guy has no intention whatsoever to let me go. He has been doing this ever since the dinner party I held a few days ago. What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Did he not like my hospitality that day? Or did I piss him off without even noticing?

God help!

I rumble internally. "Mr. Liu, tomorrow is the party that you are hosting so why don’t we take it easy and be done with the work tonight?" I suggest.

I don’t give a fuck whether you are taking it easy or not. Just let me escape.

Liu Feng opens his mouth to blab shits once again but a call cuts him. "Excuse me." I hurry out to the corner of the room and check the caller ID. It’s Ruth.

"Hey, where are you?" Ruth asks in a husked voice, worry and tension evident in his speech.

"What do you mean where? I am at work. Where are you?" I ask, my brow rising to my forehead.

"I am at your house damn it!" Ruth curses in a low voice.

Erwin is there I presume. And cold sweats form on my hairline, "What the fuck in the world are you there for?! Are you trying to get yourself murdered?" I no longer bother to keep my voice low as I cuss my best friend out. "Why you didn’t tell me earlier?!"

"I texted you a hundred times before coming here!" Ruth retorts, "But you didn’t reply! So I thought you were busy fucking around with Erwin!"

"Fuck Ruth!" I hiss, "How can you be this idiot! I am coming right away! Just don’t get my husband kill you!"

"I am trying my best not to!" Ruth says and hangs up.

"Mr. Liu, I am afraid that I have some matter in my hands now. I need to go and attend to them." I state as I collect my keys and unhook my jacket from my chair’s headrest.

"It’s fine..." Liu Feng flashes a stained smile even if he is not happy with it. "If it’s an emergency then I can’t be helped. Please have a safe drive. I will expect you at tomorrow’s party."

"I am looking forward to it." I lie and storm out of my office and drive back to my manor.

My heart is beating in my throat and my muscles are taut as I make my way back into the manor.

How can Ruth’s decisions and timing be so bad?!

There is a thin line between being an idiot and a genius and that guy uses it like a fucking jumping rope!

I barrel into the living space, my chest heaving up and down because of the tension coursing through me and because of the distance I ate up with my large and fast steps. "Ruth!"

Everyone’s head snaps to me. Ruth and John is looking like the have just seen their life savior and are about to leap onto the ground to worship me. "Leo!" They exclaim but instantly snap their mouths shut when Erwin glares at them wisely.

The air between them is thick with tension and anxiety. I walk over to them and Erwin stands up to kiss me on the cheek before scooching away and making room for me to sit comfortably.

"Leo did you know that they were coming today?" Erwin asks gently yet firmly.

I shake my head in a negative way. "Ruth called me a while ago and told me they are here." I explain briefly before turning my focus to them, "So why are you guys here?"

"W-We..." John starts but stutters. Ruth grabs his hand and gives it a small reassuring squeeze. "We are here to apologize for the things that happened in the past and announce our relationship."

Why are all the people apologizing to me today?

"Your relationship?" Erwin raises a brow, his face is stern and he is clearly unimpressed. His hands are crossed over his chest and legs crossed. No matter what expression he is wearing he still looks majestic and peerless. "What kind of relationship do you guys share, John? What are you trying to imply?"

"I-I love him." Even if he stutters at first, his statement becomes more firm. "I want an official relationship with him."

"What about you Ruth?" I ask, my tone serious yet gentle, "Will you be able to take care of him and not break his heart once again? Will you be able to overcome your past and embrace him in your arms?"

Ruth nods his head determinedly, "I will be able to love him to my fullest."

"What the heck are you talking about Leo?" Erwin’s scowl deepens, "He fucking bore his heart one time before and now he is trying to fix it!"

"I know, what he did in the past was a huge mistake. But," I put my hand over his and stroke it gently, "but he is a human too. Humans make mistakes every so often, Erwin. We should just reflect on it and move in. Don’t you agree?" I try to reason with Erwin, my expression soft and my voice gentle.

Erwin’s expression softens a little and he sighs, "John, will you be happy with him?"

John nods immediately without any second thought, showing just how fixated he is about his decision.

"Fine." Erwin permits at last, "But remember your choice."

A bright smile spread across his cute face, "I will."

I sigh in relief. Now that they have sorted it out It’s my time to clear the air between me and my husband. I can’t leave it be any longer.

Erwin steps out of the bathroom in his pajamas, drying his silver hair with a towel. I chew on my bottom lip, contemplating how to start the conversation. Erwin notices my hesitation and walks over to the bed. He sits at the corner of the bed, next to my legs.

"Do you want to tell me something, Leo?" He deliberately makes an opening for me to start talking about what’s on my mind.

"I-I am sorry, Erwin." I start pouring my heart out, "I shouldn’t have hid that Ruth and John was doing something unspeakable behind your back. I should have considered your feelings too. I am really sorry... If I told you about this earlier then the situation might not have turned out like this."

"Hey, what are you apologizing for?" Erwin leans and his hand reaches out to stroke my face gently, "It would be a lie if I said that I didn’t mind that you hide soothing this huge from me. But then I understood why you hid it from me. You didn’t want anyone to get hurt, didn’t you?"

I slowly nod. He knows me too well...

"You knew that if I knew about the things Ruth and John were doing behind my back would hurt me and anger me and I might even hit Ruth or John, this is why you didn’t tell me right?"

I nod again. Feeling a little better that Erwin is willing to understand me.

"Even so I am sorry." I apologize again, "I should have been more level headed and controlled the situation better."

Erwin shakes his head sideways, "Earlier you said that humans make mistakes remember? So it’s fine."

Then something clicks inside my brain, "Oh Erwin, Lia came to the company today."

Erwin’s expression instantly darkens, "What did she say? Did she throw any accusation or did she try to hurt you?" His hand flexes and he moves my face in different angles, searching for nonexistent injuries.

"What are you doing?" I snort, "She just came in to apologize, that’s it. She didn’t try anything stupid on me. But she said that she was manipulated to do what she did with you by some girl named Lucy. Do you know who it is?"

Erwin’s expression darkens another shed. "You don’t have to worry about that at all. I will handle it from here on. You just focus on keeping yourself safe." Erwin schools his expression and scooches toward me and lays his head on my lap, "Leo do you want to plane a child again?"

This question catches me off guard and my mind flashes my past horrible experience before my eyes. "I-I don’t know..."

"It’s fine." Erwin makes a random soothing circle in my head as he plays with my hair and smiles warmly, "We can take sometimes."

"How about we start to plan another child after I am done with this project?" I suggest, trying to lighten up the mood.

"Everything is fine as long as you are here. It will work out somehow." Erwin grins and I smile.

"There is another thing I want to tell you." Something downs on me again.

"What is it?" Erwin questions as he continues his soothing gestures.

"Liu Feng is hosting a party tomorrow." I start, ’I am supposed to bring my partner there. Are you busy tomorrow?"

"I am always open for you, my king." He grins, "Text me the time and location I will be there."

I smile and nod. I don’t know what I did to deserve this much happiness. And sometimes it scares me that I will lose it and fall into my nightmares again. If it happens then I no longer know how to live. I am so attached to this man that I can’t even breathe without thinking about him.
