"Rose, take this medicine before eating so that you don't finish your food again,” Lion said softly to Rose who still looked weak. Rose rose to sit up, assisted by Lion slowly, and took the medicine.“Thank you, kind Doctor Lion. Don't you get tired of taking care of me, huh?” asked Rose with a smile.“No need to feel stale, Rose. You know I can't see you sick. But I think this time I should just leave you alone to deter you from repeating your hunger strike.” replied Lion mockingly. They joked for a while as Lion fed Rose with food bit by bit.“Lion, what exactly am I sick of? How can I be this weak?” asked Rose who was getting serious.“You have digestive problems because you refused to fill your stomach with food for so many days. Why do you still dare to ask?” Lion replied with a scolding. The lion was covering up the real reason. Lion felt that Rose was not mentally ready to face the fact that she was pregnant with Sean's child.“Lion, I want to leave the room. Can I learn to w
“Rose, calm down!” Lion snapped at Rose.“Don't hold me back, Lion. Dad has gone too far with me.” snapped Rose at Lion, “Or maybe, you knew this too and didn't tell me?” continued Rose with a question.“No, Rose. Lion and your other brother also found out yesterday after I told them,”“Even they knew before me, huh? Oh my God.” Rose couldn't believe it.“Listen first, Rose. Sit down, and let Dad tell the story. Don't you want to hear the full story? Dad must have had a reason for not telling you all this time.” Lion persuaded Rose to stay calm and listen to their father's reasons.“Alright, I'll listen to him again.” Rose agreed to listen and wait.“I'm sorry, Rose. It's not that I didn't want to tell you everything from the beginning. When I found out the ins and outs of your family, you weren't strong enough to face future difficulties either,”“You weren't skilled enough to take revenge on the family that had made you suffer, so I chose to wait for the right time,” Mr. Jack began,
“You're asking if I know the whereabouts and condition of Iris‘ child?” Mr Jack asked, “Yes, I know where the child is. He's fine as of now,” he continued.“Oh, yes? Thank goodness. So I can tell my grandfather everything later.” Rose said happily.“And you also know who that child is, Rose.” this time Mr Jack's words confused and shocked Rose even more, “Yes, you actually know who that child is. Because all this time-’ her Dad's words were interrupted by a knock on the door.“Excuse me, Boss. We have a visitor looking for Boss Rose, " a servant reported to Black Jack.“Who's there?” Lion asked the servant.“I don't know but they mentioned that they were from Eagle Murphy's group.” the maid replied again.Rose, whose mind was still confused by what her Dad had said to her, was distracted by the report of the visitors as the maid said, “Why are they looking for me again? My problem with them is over with Alfred's death,” Rose said to the maid.“Let them come in and wait in the parlor.”
While William and Jesslyn examined the contents of the flash drive Lion had given them by lending them Lion's men's laptop, Rose and Lion resumed their argument. "So, you've been hiding all this from me, Lion?!" asked Rose angrily. "Yes, I've kept it all from the beginning. But I did all this for you. So that you can think more clearly in making the decision to retaliate against that person, Rose." Lion explained. "You are crazy. Why didn't you just tell me so I could kill that bad guy before I went home?" Rose urged angrily again. "To what end, to deliver more trouble? Don't you realize what you did to slaughter so many people in that country was dangerous?" "After you're caught, can you tell them that you only wanted to save the life of a child?! It's not that easy, Rose." it was Lion's turn to yell at Rose. Regardless of whether William and Jesslyn understood what they were saying or not. Rose was silent. She felt that what Lion said to her was the right thing. It could have
"I've been watching the family myself, without you all-knowing, and right now, my men are always standing guard near them, keeping them away from mafia threats like us.""Only when you were there, I pulled my men back because I believed you could protect them," Mr Jack told the truth."What? Didn't I hear wrong? Lion, I think I have a problem with my ears too," asked Rose who was getting more and more clueless about the situation."Dad, Rose, that's enough. Don't say anything more. And you, Rose. You should rest now." said Lion who interrupted their conversation."No, Lion. Please be quiet for now. I want to hear Dad's reasons for hiding so much from me. I just found out today that we're related to Aunt Melati, and now, Dad has been looking after them without saying anything to me. What does that mean, Dad?" Rose asked for an explanation."Because Shine is my grandson, Rose. Shine is Iris' son," Dad replied softly without being able to hold back his tears this time.Rose's body became
[Bugh!] Right into Lion's handsome face, Rose threw a pillow at him."You silly bastard! If you want to tempt me with food then you've got the wrong person. Never mind, I'm already full, and I feel even more nauseous," Rose said after feeling her stomach start acting up again."See? You don't believe a word I say, do you? You're still sick, Rose. Just obey and be a good girl," Lion didn't get angry instead he smiled and said softly to Rose."Hmm, I guess you're right, Lion. My stomach is hurting," Rose finally relented and admitted her situation.Lion left Rose after finishing feeding her. He gave Rose a gentle peck on the forehead as a sign of affection, 'You need to rest completely for three months, Rose. Your womb is too weak, even to hold back your raging anger,' Lion said softly.Everyone knew that Rose was pregnant. Only Rose and her men did not know about this.***The hot sun woke Rose's sleep through the cracks in the window. She recalled going to see Mr Jack in his room. Ros
"You, Rose. I had to laugh at your anger just now. Are you blaming me for being jealous? Yes, you're right. I was jealous and afraid that you would go back to that bastard. But, what I'm more afraid of is yourself. I'm afraid that something bad will happen to you and I won't see you again," Lion told Rose."Oh, I knew it. It turns out that my condition is not as simple as I thought. I'm always suspicious of your excessive attention to me, even though I feel my body is fine, and when I ask, you always say that my stomach and digestion problems, when in fact, you are hiding something else important from me." said Rose who felt played."Tell me, Lion. What's going on with me? Why do you keep hiding my health problems?!" raged Rose who could no longer contain her anger, "Akh..." squealed Rose in pain while holding her stomach."Rose?!" called Lion in panic, "I told you not to overreact. You need to calm down," he said again."Lion, do you still want to hide this from me when I'm already i
Since the news of Rose's pregnancy was revealed, Lion has increasingly showered Rose with his full attention, especially after Rose no longer rejected Lion's feelings for her even though they were unrequited. Lion is like a standby husband looking after his wife who is pregnant with their baby. For this reason, Lion lowered his ego for Rose's happiness, including by facilitating Rose who wanted to communicate with Shine and her family in Indonesia. Like right now, Lion was beside Rose who was talking to Troy and Shine through a secret network that could not be tracked by outsiders, it was needed for Garendra's family to always be safe and not become the target of Black Dragon's enemies. "Is it enough, what do you feel now?" Lion wanted to know how Rose would express her happiness after the small gifts Lion would continue to give her. "Thank you, you're the best, Lion. I feel so much better that I was able to contact those who turned out to be fine. It was only longing that made us
