Make Time for Togetherness
“What are you saying, Arthur? Doesn't being married mean we love each other?” Livy asked.
“That's not what I'm saying... I feel like I've been feeling different lately than I used to when I was angry with you,” Arthur said. Livy smiled and took Arthur's hand.
“It's okay, honey. I love you too.” Livy said.
But it turned out that all of that was Livy's imagination. In reality, they were still sitting normally while enjoying the breeze that hit their bodies. Arthur had not said anything at all.
“What did you say when you visited earlier?” Arthur's question was very different from what Livy expected.
“I don't know, James didn't tell me anything either,” Livy said.
“Huh... well, maybe you didn't want to visit and talk to us,” Arthur said as he drank the americano coffee he had ordered and it arrived at their table. Meanwhile, Livy ordered a matcha-flavored drink.
“Livy, actually... I have something to ask you,” Livy's heart was already churning that what she had imagined earlier was coming true.
“Do you know who took my power necklace?”
DEG!
Livy's eyes widened in shock at Arthur's question. It was as if the Alpha had brought her here just to ask about the necklace. Livy deliberately also responded with a light laugh.
“Hahahaha, you're still asking me that. How could I possibly know, even you didn't explain to me who took your necklace,” Livy explained, trying to answer as casually as possible so as not to be suspected by her contract husband.
“Seriously, you don't know? I didn't even realize that the person who took my necklace was... Willson,”
DEG!
Livy's eyes, which had been wide open, now glanced sharply at Arthur.
“Really? Why would Willson take a power necklace from a werewolf when he's a vampire himself,” Livy said.
'Damn! How do I change the subject so Arthur doesn't keep bringing this up when we're alone together? I have to find a way to keep Arthur from bringing this up again.' Livy thought.
'My lure seems to have failed, but no matter. It could be that Livy is already honest and doesn't know that it was Willson who took my necklace. It could be that Livy has nothing to do with this. Arthur thought.
“Yeah, maybe it was meant to trap me so that the moon gods would favor her instead of me,” Arthur said.
“Never mind, forget it. This is our date after marriage after all. Why talk about other people and a necklace that has been lost for a long time? Let's just enjoy our time now by living happily,” Livy said.
'I'm getting suspicious that Livy took my necklace. But how do I get proof of that? Proof that it was actually Livy who took my necklace. I didn't install any CCTV in the room, so I can't track anything.' Arthur thought.
“Yes, you're right. The most important thing now is that our relationship is fine and stays like this,” Arthur held both of Livy's hands with a smile shown to his wife. Even though it was just a fake smile.
'What if Arthur finds out one day that the truth is that I took the necklace? That means he brought me here just to find out if it was me or not. Gosh, if Arthur finds out the truth, what will happen to me? Willson is starting his asceticism to gain great power from the moon god. He won't be able to protect me.' Livy thought frantically. But Livy's reverie was immediately shattered when Arthur's hand waved towards her eyes.
“Livy? Honey?”
“EH?” Livy said in surprise.
“Are you okay, dear? Is something bothering you?” Arthur asked.
“No, I'm... just a little unwell, darling,” Livy replied while holding her arms which were not covered by her clothes. Arthur immediately stood up from his sitting position and gave his wife his suit.
“No problem, honey, don't be like this,” said Livy. But it turned out that Arthur still put his suit on Livy's shoulders.
“How can I let my wife freeze like this, huh?” Livy also stood up, Arthur immediately hugged his wife's body from the front.
“I'll warm you up when you're cold.” The soothing words warmed Livy's heart as well. The two of them enjoyed their afternoon intimately.

Renny and Natasha had just arrived at their apartment.
“Shit! Shit! Shit! Today is my bad luck day, Renny! I still can't accept that Gracia hasn't received my revenge yet, but that security guard just kicked me out!”
“I wanted to rip that Gracia's mouth out and pull her hair out. I hate her so much for taking my position as secretary at Arthur's company! I can't accept that! Moreover, Gracia has also stolen Arthur's attention!”
WHACK!
Natasha hit her apartment's living room table so hard that Renny was surprised.
“I dislike office mates who have stolen my position the most! I hate Gracia so much! I want to wipe her out of this world!” Natasha said while shouting because she was angry.
“Calm down Natasha calm down. Not everything can be soothed with emotion. Not everything is solved with emotions, we must solve all problems with a cool head. If you kill him now, you could end up in trouble with the police. Remember, this country is a country of law you know!” Reni replied while slamming her body onto the living room sofa.
“That's easy for you to say, Renny, but not so easy for me. I promise to kill that Gracia! You'll see, I'll kill her slowly,” Natasha's eyes squinted at Renny who was giving her a casual look.
“Don't be rash, Natasha. Anything solved in that emotional way will never end well. We have to think of a smoother plan and way so that we don't get caught by Gracia or Arthur, so that we can achieve the main goal and target without having to hurt or dirty our own hands, you understand because of what I mean right?” Renny asked. Natasha, who understood what Renny was saying, immediately puckered one corner of her lips.
“You're absolutely right, Renny. I will think of the right way for one strong shot and hit two prey at once,” said Natasha with so much confidence in her plan this time.
“Well then, your brain works then too,” replied Renny.
“I'll make Gracia suffer more than what she did to me! You'll see!” Natasha said by venting all her emotions in the living room of her apartment because the girl had been holding back her anger at the Mall.
Natasha's intention was to go for a walk or refreshing and buy something, but it didn't happen because she had to meet with Gracia and make trouble at the mall.
“Hah... Even though the intention was to take a refreshing walk, instead there was an incident like earlier. Aren't you ashamed of making a scene at the mall earlier?” Asked Renny who regretted not being able to buy anything because of the embarrassment earlier.
“Renny, this time you don't need to discuss it anymore. It's enough for us to know what happened at the mall. Please forget it, please,” Natasha begged.
“Yes, all right. I'll forget it as long as there is a replacement,” Renny said.
“What do you want?”
“I want to go somewhere where there's only nature and greenery, yeah... like... greenery,” Renny replied.
“So you're saying... we should go to a garden or a mountain?” Natasha asked, wondering.
“Yes! Going to the mountains isn't bad either, right?”
“Well, we'll go there to refresh our minds and then think of the right way to destroy Arthur and Gracia's relationship,” Natasha replied.
“Uh Natasha, don't you want to destroy Arthur's relationship with his wife first, namely Livy?” asked Renny still remembering Livy who had been victimized by Natasha at that time.
“Yes, too, why didn't I think of that? It looks like Arthur is also doing well with his wife. It would be more interesting if we attacked all three. But of all that we have to do some healing first and find the right way to destroy them.
“Good idea.” Renny said. Natasha raised one eyebrow.
