Chapter 42 - Why?

Lauren

"Jihye! Stop it!" I said playfully while I'm trying to frost the cake that we made two hours ago.

"No," she said playfully

"Jihye! I swear to God" she giggled when I glared at her, We wanted to make a cake for Jayden because it was her first day going to school. We drop him off a while ago and he was so excited to go to his school. He looks so cute.

It has been a week now, on the first day I got home we just had dinner with my family and Jihye's asked me if I'm doing okay, trying to remember the things that I was doing, and Mommy told me me me my life in Los Angeles. It shocked my system at first but I tried to sink in everything they said.

Jihye was just holding my hands under the table and the older ones are teasing us because we instantly became lovey-dovey even though I just got home but my family understands it knowing Jihye is my wife and she didn't change and her intentions towards me are still the same nothing changes. She's still the Jihye that they know. The sweet one. They are even telling me that we are meant for each other and I know I believed them because they were the ones who pushed us to get married.

With the week, Jihye toured me the house. It was so huge, I even got lost one time and it was awas was od thing the maid was there to take me back to Jihye and she was laughing her ass off and teasing me that I should stay by her side whenever we were touring but I ended up laughing with her because of my reaction and face.

She also took me on a date, a fancy date on my second day being home. It was in a luxurious restaurant, I wore a dress that she bought and she was wearing her usual but luxurious outfit. I was shy at first but all the workers treated me so nicely because they told me that Jihye and I usually have a date at that restaurant and sometimes give us a discount. People are lovely, they are so nice.

On the third day what we did was have a road trip together with Jayden. I wasn't familiar with that place but Jihye told me that my stepbrother usually takes me there after work when she wasn't around and she also took us to a beach to reminisce and do the things that we like.

On the fourth day, my private teacher came to teach me and I was so focused on that day because it was all about media, business, and all. The doctor said I can handle a lot already and I managed to survive on that day. It was a lot to sink in but Jihye treated me to some food.

Jihye was being so sweet and gentle though I keep saying it every day, everything is just going in in the right place. She was like the person of my dreams, she took care of me well and she even stayed at home for a meeting just to look after me. I was being clingy to her whenever she has some meeting, I will usually lay on her lap playing with her fingers or sometimes using my phone and watching some random videos that Jihye recommended to me. It was usually all her dance covers and her original choreography.

She's a good dancer not gonna lie she looks so hot whenever she dances. She has a slim yet muscular body, whenever she's coming out from the shower just wearing her sports bra I can't help but bite my lip whenever I'm seeing her. I'm trying my best not to be caught but I can't help but look at her abs. It was defined just like I wanted.

I don't know what am I thinking but is this me in the old days? Do I certainly like abs and hot persons? Jeez, I feel like I'm always drooling whenever I saw someone that has abs but I know I have Jihye and I will stay loyal to her because she's my wife. I know my limits and Jihye's mine.

Oh yes, I'm claiming her. I don't want to confess yet, I still wanted to see all her powers how she get so possessive and sweet towards me. That's all I wanted to see. I can always see the love through her eyes whenever she looks at me straight in the eyes, whenever we became lovey-dovey and she's telling me how much she missed me every day and loved me more and more every single step of the way. My heart is fluttering and I will forever treasure her for the rest of my life.

I also tried to help the maids whenever they were cleaning but they are stopping and told me that I should just rest and wait for Jihye but I'm telling them that I'm bored since Jihye was at work and I wanted to help also by cleaning it but they are stopping me so I ended up having a chat with them asking them what I usually do whenever Jihye's not around.

They told me that I just hang out on the couch, watch some random tv shows with Jayden, put him to sleep, take care of him or even go gardening whenever Jayden was asleep. Jeez, is that how a rich person certainly does?

I tried gardening once together with Jihye and Jayden, we planted some roses, tulips, and sunflowers. It was fun but very tiring, Jihye told me that I like Roses and tulips a lot so we have a lot in another garden. She showed it to me and it looks so beautiful. She told me that she also took care of the flowers when she was also taking care of me because the reason is it was also like her life.

Whenever she sees flowers, she will always remember me and she always says that flowers make her day special because it was me. I put color on her life and make her mood even better. It made my heart happy knowing I'm making someone happy.

We stayed in the house for the past few days since Jihye doesn't want me to work too much. Especially, I'm still in the middle of healing. We spent our time with Jayden since his school will start already we watch some more movies, Dramas and Jihye's friends also visited us while my friends went on next.

It was such an enjoyable day for us, I feel like I'm complete. They are the people that I want to treasure forever.

"It looks good right?" Jihye asked me while she was fronting her cake, she told me that she likes carrot cake and we tried following some recipes on the internet but I made a chocolate cake for Jayden with the help of Mommy through Online.

"It looks awful," I said while Jihye gasped and put her hand in her chest pretending to be hurt while I laugh because she looks so cute

"It's not" she whined

"It is, why would you put a rabbit butt in it? And your frosting is uneven" I mumbled

"You don't care, I love this cake and I'll be the one eating it" I chuckled and kiss her cheek before I walk to the fridge to get some chocolate sprinkles.

Jihye told me that she was supposed to hire a private chef for us or either the butler can do it but I stopped her from it. I want to do things on my own and learn cooking with either the help of her, Mom, or Mommy. Now that, she's my wife. I'm married, I know I need to have mommy duties. Jeez, movies are something else.

I also want to take care of Jihye and Jayden's needs knowing they were the ones that helped me to get through all this.

Once I took the chocolate sprinkle, I saw Jihye cutting her cake already and getting some plate to put both slices. I came back to the place to sprinkle the chocolate sprinkle on the cake.

"What would like for our drink? Tea, coffee, or Milk?" She asked me while placing the sliced cake on the plate.

"Tea is fine"

"Hot or cold?" She asked again

"Hot. it's kinda chilly outside" She hummed and went to the cabinets where the teas are stocked.

"It's cold especially the snow is just starting to melt. Do you think our cake will taste good?" She asked while pouring some hot water on the teapot.

"I'm not confident when it comes to that carrot cake since we just followed it on the internet and we didn't do well but I'm confident on this Chocolate cake since Mommy helped us" she chuckled and took out a tray and placed the cakes and teas that she prepared

"It will taste good,"

"Jeez, I hope so. Where shall we eat? Outside or in the dining area?" I placed the cake in the fridge so the icing wouldn't melt besides Jayden's school will end in three hours.

"You want near the garden? The weather is just fine you can wear my hoodie if you want" I nodded excitedly and took her hoodie from the chair. She giggled and went outside to the garden.

I like wearing her hoodie, it's so soft and it smelled just like her. It's also oversize which makes me feel so small and comfortable. We sat on the chair and Jihye placed the cake in front of me and I poured some tea. It was such a beautiful day.

Jihye was excited to taste her cake so I told her she should taste it first and I should go next. I looked at her and she was sighing and smiling and I bet it taste good. I decided to take a bite and she wasn't wrong I mean her reaction wasn't wrong it does taste good.

"You should trust the internet," She said while I looked at her

"I do trust them but when it comes to cooking I guess I won't but this cake is changing my mind" she chuckled and took a sip of her tea while I took another bite "since I'm curious about my life or my real life did I live in this place? Or I live in another country?" I asked while looking at her, Mommy didn't tell me about this she just told me that my life in this country is good.

"So, you grew up in Los Angeles that's where your life started, and just so you know you have a house in every country" I widened my eyes and she chuckled "you certainly do, but you usually stay in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris because that country was so important to you"

"How important?"

"Very important. When you were pregnant with Jayden well it was my idea to have our private life since our lives and faces are always at the media. I decided to stay in Los Angeles for three months so I could protect you and our child but after three months we flew to Paris to stay there for a year and that's where Jayden was born"

"Wow, that's cool. I wanted to go back to that country" I said

"We can, we always can but for now we need to get strong alright?" I nodded happily and smiled

"Hey, Jihye?" She looked at me, I wanted to ask this for so long and this is just the right time for it because we're alone.

"You need to ask something, Darling?" I nodded and she took my hand "What is it?"

"I was just wondering how I took care of you and Jayden. I want details" she smiled and I looked at her. This is just the start, knowing I'm home I want to get back on my duties. Someone is pushing me too and that certain man kept appearing in my dreams telling me that everything is okay now and I should go back even though my memories aren't coming back.

I don't have any idea who it is but he looks so familiar, we kinda have the same features especially when it comes to the nose and eyes. I wanted to ask if he was my father if he was my real father. Ben? As I remember?

"So, whenever I have work you will wake up earlier than me first thing you will do you will go to Jayden's room and greet him a good morning as you also freshen him up in the bathroom then you both will go straight to the kitchen, you will place Jayden in his crib to play with his toys and play with your phone while you cook me a delicious breakfast then when the afternoon came you will work but when you have your day off you will usually visit me in the office to bring me lunch and hang out with me for the rest of the day while Jayden was in his grandparent's house" I smiled

"And at night, when I got home. I will come home with a delicious dinner and my cuddles at night" I blushed and she chuckled kissing my hands

"Is that all?" I asked

"Well, you know common sense thing. You're also doing the laundry, ironing my uniform, washing the dishes, and sometimes helping the maids if you're bored but we usually spend time together since we miss each other as always" So, that's how I get clingy or her huh?

"I see but what about my talents?" I managed to ask

"Well, you have a lot of talents. You model, dance like your brother, you're good at multitasking and all but you know you have everything. That's why a lot of people admire you, they like you so much and they have a lot of crushes on you"

"Is that true?" She nodded and I gripped her hand

"Do I have a lover back then?"

She coughed and I could sense that there was something wrong "Well, you did have a lot of flings but none of them work until you went here to Korea to just you know judge some models but when you opened your Dad's letter for you that's when this marriage started"

"How'd you react?" I asked while she chuckled

"I was so happy at that time, I certainly am" I smiled and chuckled

"Why?" She looked at me and she stood up, she opened her hands for me to take. I took it and she pulled me into the garden. She was so excited and it seems like she will confess something which I'm waiting for it.
