Lee Shira's demand in exchanged to be with her daughter added by his threat made Aryen's heart almost stopped beating. She looked at him skeptically. Of course she doesn't trust him.
Based on what she heard about him, how could Aryen trust Lee Shira? However, his offer to give her everything made her had second thoughts. She tried to recall what he has done for her since they were together.
Lee Shira forced her to get married; he took her first kiss, her virginity. Aryen even felt like she was his sex slave. But he agreed with her request to have their honeymoon at her country, but not just that.
He even asked her mother to cook something for her; asked Mei Joan to teach her how to cook and take care of her daughter at the same time; Lee Shira even reminded her not to expose herself to her mother.
Is that enough for Aryen to trust him? Of course not. What Lee Shira want was for her to tell him everything, which means her being experimented; her tragic life. Who ever she is right now, it wasn't her real identity.
Won't Lee Shira feel that she deceived him? Her current appearance was not her real self, not even her identity. What if he kills her once he finds out that whoever she is right now were not real?
Aryen's heart is filled with apprehension. Even though Lee Shira told her that she's just an object for him to have a child; she's still going to be the mother and his wife. It is something that he cannot take away from her.
She wanted to trust him, but Aryen is still hesitant. She feared that Lee Shira won't accept her for what she is. A guinea pig that has been experimented; technically a trash who died and unexpectedly reborn.
Staring straight at Lee Shira, Aryen wouldn't mind that he keeps on nibbling on her lips while she was in deep thoughts. He was patiently waiting for her to speak, yet his fierce eyes give her a chill.
Without getting any response from Aryen, Lee Shira stopped kissing her. But he bent over to carry her in bridal style which his wife silently encircled her arms on his neck as he walked towards their bedroom.
He seated on the bed. Lee Shira leaned back on the head board, but he did not let go of Aryen; making her sit on his lap like a baby, his arms remained on her waist, preventing her to fall.
Lee Shira had removed his eye glasses and placed it on the side table before he pinched her chin to look up at him straight in the eye and asked with his normal cold voice. "How is it possible for you to become her mother?"
Aryen's face suddenly turned pale. How can she explain? Even her doesn't know the answer. What more, Lee Shira was her first; he should know that. It already sounded funny that she has a daughter.
One possibility, science. Donating her eggs? That sounds ridiculous of course. Unless Aryen is willing to explain that she was an experiment subject by unknown people. She has a reconstructed body which is something unclear to her.
She doesn't know whether to answer or not. Aryen's heart began pumping fast, but Lee Shira was patiently waiting for her to speak; staring at her intently, his gaze were fixed on her eyes, not missing any second.
"I... I don't know.." Aryen finally answered after a couple of breaths. But her voice is faint, almost disappear on her last words. Her eyes sting, she wanted to blurt out all her confusions, cry to him, but afraid on how he would look at her.
There was no answer from Lee Shira. He just keeps on staring at her, but Aryen has no idea what's running on his mind. It only made her pumping heart skipped a beat while waiting for him to react.
