Chapter 102 - Husband And Wife Story

Rere looked away, her eyes glistening. Unable to stop it, her tears fell. She expressed her irritation and annoyance by crying. Dino didn't expect Rere to be this emotional.

"Why are you crying?" Dino lifted Rere's chin.

"I don't like you being so close to Sheila." Rere glanced at her husband with tears on her face.

"There is nothing between us."

"You are cheating."

"I'm not cheating, Rere. Aren't you the one who said that we were just husband and wife on paper? Since when has this marriage become a real one? Since when do you care about me? Did you forget about it? You always think of me poorly." 

"That's because I love you," said Rere spontaneously. The word was said because Dino startled her. After saying that, Rere cursed herself for losing control of her mind and mouth.

"You really love me?" Dino said that out loud as he hugged her tightly and held her.

"No," Rere suddenly felt the need to defend her pride. She still needs to maintain her prestige.

"Just say it, dear." Dino teases Rere.

"No." Rere looked away in embarrassment.

"Then I will go to Sheila. She cares for me."

"Arrrghhh. Don't you dare go near Sheila!" Rere pinched Dino's waist.

"Why can't I approach Sheila? My wife doesn't care and loves me."

"Who said I don't care and love you?"

"You said no."

"Yeah, I don't care."

"Alright. If that's the case, Sheila is the only one who cares about me." Dino pretended to leave, but Rere stopped him.

"Where are you going?"

"I am going to Sheila."

"Dino." Ree was furious. She took a pillow and hit Dino. "You are insensitive. That's how women normally react. Her mouth said no, but her heart said yes. Stupid widower. Didn't you have a married experience? how could you be so stupid?"

"Stop it." Dino smiled in relief as he took the pillow and threw it away. Dino held both of Rere's hands. "I lied that I am going to Sheila. The incident before was just an act between us."

"What do you mean? Why did you lie to me?" Rere crossed her arms with pouty lips.

"I did it on purpose to test your feelings for me. Now, I know that you care and love me." Dino smiles. Rere sobbed quietly because she realized she had been tricked. She didn't know how to react to Dino's statement. There was a sense of happiness, relief, but also anger that Dino had teased her.

Dino brought Rere to sit on the bed and held his wife's hands.

They were silent…

No one tried to make a sound.

Dino hugged his wife. Rere vented her frustration by crying. Dino hugged his wife tighter. He felt happy after knowing Rere's feelings for him. The man kissed Rere's forehead.

"Don't cry, baby. Sorry that I make you cry. If I didn't do it, you won't be aware of your feelings, and I won't be aware of my feelings either."

"Don't lie to me again,"

"I promise I won't lie to you. This is the first and last time. I am also fond of you. Even though you are grumpy, but you are kind and care about other people. You have a great sense of empathy."

They hugged each other with love. For the first time, Rere did not struggle when Dino hugged her tightly as if she didn't want to let go of him. It doesn't matter if there is love or not. The important thing is that the affection has grown. They just need to cultivate it until the love grows and takes root in each other's hearts. Now, they only wish to share the warmth and the longing in their heart. 

Dino and Rere lay on the bed. Both of them had showered and were wearing a couple pajamas. Dino tilted his body to look at his wife.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Rere also tilted like Dino.

"You are beautiful." Dino stroked Rere's cheek.

"I am." Rere nodded.

Dino took off his blanket and then pressed Rere's body. The man gave Rere a kiss on the lips.

"What are you doing?" Rere was shocked when Dino took off her pajamas, leaving only sexy underwear with soft straps wrapped around Rere's body.

"Why did you never wear sexy clothes in front of me? I want you to wear the nightgown you wore when I was watching you from Hanin's phone." Dino winked teasingly at Rere.

Rere burst out laughing." What a pervert."

"There's nothing wrong with being a pervert with my own wife." Dino kissed Rere's cheek.

"It tickles." Rere shook her head when Dino kissed her neck.

"The widowers' style is obviously different. They just go directly without further ado." Rere mocked her husband.

"You need to understand this lonely widower. I haven't touched a woman in years." Dino hugged his wife's waist and rested his head on Rere's shoulder.

"Did you try to find an opportunity to cuddle?" Rere slightly lowered her face. Still nervous and clumsy when Dino made out with her.

"Can I do it? Can't I hug my own wife?" Dino spoke in a sulky tone, looking for attention from Rere.

"I'm still surprised to see you like this. It's like a dream to become your wife."

"How does it feel to become a mother?"

"The feeling of giving birth? I gave birth to Leon normally. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster ride when I managed to get Leon out of my body. I was proud that I was strong enough. Leon weighed 4kg. The struggle is real and unbelievable."

"Are you giving birth through the normal process? With a baby weighing 4 kg?" Dino was flabbergasted.

"Why did you ask?"

"They must have cut you down there." Dino had an innocent expression.

"They did, and they stitched it after that."

"Did they stitch everything?"

"What do you mean?" Rere didn't understand the direction of Dino's conversation.

"Since everything is sewn, then what about me?"

"What about you?" Rere is still green. Dino really wanted to pinch his wife's cheek, looking at his wife's innocent face. Rere is too naive.

"If everything were sewn, then how can I create Leon's siblings."

Rere couldn't hold back her annoyance as she ran after Dino, who runs quicker than her.

"Don't run." Rere chased Dino out of the room.

"Then stop chasing me."

"You're perverted. Why did you talk about that?"

"I give up," Dino said breathlessly. His temples were wet with sweat from running around.

Rere sat next to him then pinched Dino's thigh. The man groaned in pain.

"It hurts, Re. This is domestic violence. I can report you to the police for mistreatment."

"Just report it so you can send the mother of your two children to prison. Hanin and Leon will lose their mother," Rere retorted with a frown.

Dino hugged Rere then kissed his wife's cheek.

"How can I do that to my wife? If I report you and you're getting caught, we can't…." Dino paused, waiting for his wife's reaction.

"Go on," Rere smiled sweetly, holding Dino's chin.

"We can't hang out with the kids together," Dino replied simply.

"Really? Are you sure you really say that from your heart?" Rere realized that she had been lied to.

"Of course," Dino said with a silly face. He took her hand and placed it on his chest. "You can feel my heartbeat."

"If I can't feel your heartbeat, it means you're dead," Rere replied honestly. Rere's honesty made Dino's spirit slacken. His facial expression turned sour, not as cheerful as before.

"Why did you make that kind of face?"

"Why don't women understand men's feelings? Men also want to be understood."

"So, are you angry?" Rere flicked Dino's cheek.

"Stop it" Dino pretended to be angry. "I don't want to be your friend."

"Okay then, sleep outside tonight."

"Don't be like that, dear. I want to sleep with you. Let's sleep together." Dino moved his hands like someone making out.

"Whatever! I am right when I say that man is a butterfly. After sucking the nectar, it will move to another flower."

"How could I act that way, dear. I haven't even sucked the nectar from the flower in front of me yet. How could I just leave and move to another flower?"

"So, when you are done sucking my nectar, will you move to another flower? Annoying. A day hasn't even passed since I expressed my feelings, and you started to act up."

"I'm sorry, dear. It was just a joke."

"It was just a joke, dear. Please don't be angry." Dino embraced Rere as they both laughed funny.

"Re," Dino softly called his wife.

"What's it?" Rere was listening to her husband's words seriously.

"I'm sorry if I have cut a deep wound in your heart. I swear to God that that morning there was a misunderstanding. I think__________________"

Rere landed her index finger on Dino's lips. "Stop talking about that. Let bygones be bygones. We live in the present, not the past. Forget it since I have forgiven you."

"Thank goodness, Re. I'm happy to hear that."

"I want honesty from you, Dino."

"What honesty?"
