Chapter 166 - Chapter 166

When I lifted my head, I saw her completely awake.

Was she awake all along?

I stood up and take some loose clothes from her closet.

"Here. Wear this," I gave her the pair of clothing.  

She sat up and stared at me confusedly.

"We're walking outside," I just smiled.

(CLAIRE)

"We're walking outside," Zhio smiled.

I looked blankly at him when he said those words.  

I took the clothes he gave for me.

"I'll wait for you."

He helped me get up and escorted me to the bathroom. The view of it made me remember the sad memory of earlier.

"I'll stay here," he opened the door of the comfort room.

I went in leisurely and changed my clothing. He was still patiently waiting outside when I returned.

"Let's go," he offered me his hands.  

I nodded and he took my hands himself.

And for a miraculous moment, I was outside the mansion. The fresh air kissed my skin sweetly.

He let go of my hands and smiled.

"Do what you want."

He sat at the garden porch and watched me roam freely.

The green foliage of beautiful trees littered the vast backyard garden. Exotic and local flowers dotted every space in an elaborate pattern. On the freer patch of spacious land, I ran freely with the wind.

It felt like paradise.

I inhaled the fresh air and picked a white flower that resembled the mark of our first meeting. I looked at Zhio and saw him busily typing on the laptop he has brought with him.  

About earlier….maybe I have to accept the fact that I am indeed pregnant.

I approached and sat beside him.

"Why didn't you go in the garden?"

"I have to watch you," he lifted his gaze to me.

"How do you feel?"

"Just fine."  

A maid came and pushed a tray of wrapped food on the marble table.

Zhio closed his laptop and removed the foiled wrap.

"French fries?" my eyes lit up.
