202 Voice of the Hear (2/2)
”I understand,” she said, then she asked: ”You're not going to marry–”
”No, never,” Kiho denied right away even though she hadn't finished her question yet. ”My lady, you are and will always be my wife.”
She bit her lower lip to stop herself from giggling. ”Gosh, that gave me butterflies in my stomach?”
”Butterflies in your stomach?” he asked worriedly. ”My lady, I don't think eating butterflies is healthy…”
The familiar scenario almost made her cry.
With memories or not, her Kiho will always be the oblivious Kiho that she knew and loved.
I should end it here now.
”I'm fine, Lord Nystrom,” she said formally. ”Please take care of Winter for now. I will come for him soon.”
”When will I see you again, my lady?”
”I'm not sure,” she said vaguely. ”My lord, I have to hang up now. Please make sure that Winter won't get hurt in any way, okay?”
”I promise,” he said firmly.
”Thank you,” she said, then she paused. She had always been curious about one thing and she thought it was the right time to ask. ”Lord Nystrom, I know that aside from Louisa and David, I also left videos, pictures, and documents that serve as proof about the fight that we had with the Moonchesters. But may I know why you chose to believe in me even without your memories?”
”You're pretty, my lady,” he said without missing a beat. ”Your beauty is the only beauty in the world that I will allow to have me conned.”
She almost choked after she heard that.
Gosh, the butterflies in her stomach fluttered violently that she had to plop on the bed. Then, she rolled around while kicking her legs in the air. And finally, she buried her face in the pillow. She screamed as silently as she could while covering the earring so Kiho wouldn't hear her squeal.
”That, and because I like how clear your eyes were,” Kiho continued. ”Of course, I had to go over all the videos, pictures, and documents that you left as well. I didn't think they were fabricated since I didn't find any hole. Also, I don't think Louisa and David will risk their lives just to trick me.”
She rolled again until she was lying on her back and staring at the ceiling. ”Good call,” she said. ”If you didn't believe me, our plan would have failed a long time ago.”
”It's because you prepared everything perfectly, my lady,” he said. ”Thank you. You're a genius.”
She smiled at the compliment. Of course, it felt good to be praised for the things that she had worked hard for. And it was nice to hear that from Kiho of all people.
”My lady, can I ask you a question?”
”Go ahead.”
”I know that I called you ”my wife,”” he started carefully. ”But I know that you're not the type of person to trust others easily. So how did you know that I wasn't just pretending to be your husband?”
”Your voice is very sexy,” she said bluntly. ”It sounds like the voice of someone I'd marry in a heartbeat.”
Her husband had a ”coughing fit” on the other line.
When she realized what she said, her cheeks burned from embarrassment. Did she regret it? Absolutely not.
I want to see Kiho's face right now.
She could easily imagine her husband's cute blushing face.
Then, she realized that Kiho must have been more handsome and sexier now after five years. Gosh, she so wanted to see how he looked now.
Her Keepers refused to show her Kiho's recent pictures.
Gosh, I should have punished those brats for refusing to bless my eyes with Kiho's beauty.
”I'm relieved that we feel the same way, my lady,” Kiho said in a bashful tone. ”Although looking for Winter was already a dead giveaway, I still knew that it was you right away because of your voice. It also sounds like the voice of someone I'd marry again and again in all lifetimes.”
Gosh, this was too much for her heart.
So much for pretending that she didn't remember him!
Wake up, girl.
”I'm glad that we recognized each other right away. Anyway, please take care of our Winter,” Tilly said in a sad voice because she knew she had to hang-up now. ”Good night, my lord.”

THEY are so flirting!
Winter was already awake but he woke up in the middle of his parents' flirting over the phone. So he had no choice but to pretend to be asleep. But that didn't mean his poor ears would be spared from listening to his mommy and daddy.
It didn't sound like his parents had forgotten about each other despite their memories being erased. Was it possible for two people to stay in love with each other that way? God, was love that mysterious?
But most of all,,,
Argh, Mommy and Daddy are still so cringey even after five years!
