CEO's Secret Husband
|56|. Can't Hate You

He stood his back to Maribel. His feet refused to turn back.

"Both of my palms are both hurt so.."

Maribel had not finished his words, finding that Aldrich had already turned around and walked up to him.

Maribel smiled sweetly looking at Aldrich who was already sitting beside her. Take one of the topical medicines in the box, "Get your hand straight.."

Maribel stuck out her right palm first.

Like that, Aldrich seriously applied the white cream-shaped medicine over his palm. The coldness from the medicine filled his palm.

"Why did you get hurt like this? What exactly did you do when you were stuck in the ravine?"

"I tried hard to climb up using vines, but it was so"

"An other hand.."

Maribel pulled out her right hand and stretched out the left one.

Aldrich squeezed the drug, which was like an odor, and put it on Maribel's left palm, which was as bad as the right. From the wound, Aldrich can at first glance imagine how persistent Maribel was that night struggling to climb up.

"Aldricht.." Maribel looked gently at the handsome face that was seriously applying medicine in her hand.

"En"

"Sorry..."

Aldrich raised his gaze, looking at Maribel who was already bowed like regretting something.

"I shouldn't have forced you to marry me, not even threatening— should I have done it"

"..." - ".The expression on Aldrich's face did not change.

"But even so, you still treat me well. I. feel so grateful that you don't hate me" A soft smile was etched on Maribel's lips as his eyes stared into Aldrich's eyes.

Although Aldrich refused and refused to admit it, but he still cared and wanted to pay attention to it.

"I can't hate you" The phrase just slid off Aldrich's lips.

Maribel's eyelashes were vibrating, "Why?"

Aldrich looked at Maribel Lamat, 'Because I made you my wife first'

'Long before you threatened me to make me your husband'

"Aldrich?" Call Maribel. Looking at Aldrich who was long silent, "Why can you not hate me?"

Maribel repeated the question.

Maribel looked in his eyes.

"That's why I can't hate you"

Aldrich replied that he wasn't entirely lying.

......................

The night after dinner. Aldrich did not forget to take his allergy medication. Maribel offered her blood, but the man refused. Aldrich did not want to become dependent on the woman's blood. After all the woman was his wife, not his prey.

He did not want to treat his human wife the way his father treated his mother.

Even if he did not love the woman, he would still respect her as his wife.

When it came to bed time, Maribel unhesitatingly climbed onto Aldrich's bed and lay there. He had made the man's room as his own.

Aldrich did not send him away. He recognized Maribel as his wife in his heart even though on the surface he was so vehemently rejected.

That night, he lay on the same bed with a woman who was none other than his own wife.

Hour after hour has passed. I don't think time has shown at two in the morning. Maribel found out after seeing the hit on her phone screen.

He intentionally did not sleep. Because there's something he wants to do. After making sure Aldrich is completely asleep.

Maribel got off the bed and took off all her clothes. Then he bit hard on some parts of his body that he could reach easily. Like the upper arms and thighs. He bit him hard enough to bruise.

While doing so, he tightened his lips so that the sound of complaining about his pain did not come out.

"I'm sorry Aldrich.I have to do this"

Maribel slowly climbed onto the bed and very slowly unrobed the black sleeping robe that wrapped Aldrich's burly body. Since the man was lying on his back, it made it easier for him.

He did not strip the cloak completely from Aldrich's body. Just made her exposed at the top of her chest.

Like that Maribel laid her head as gently as possible over Aldrich's exposed muscular chest and made her position more intimate by embracing her. The blanket was pulled to cover her naked body.

"Aldrich.. once again forgive me" Maribel rubbed his cheek gently over Aldrich's hard chest, "Fear if I don't do this.you'll leave me"

Maribel held her arms around the burly body, "Aldrich.you are my husband and the only family I have"

He cannot assume his uncle and aunt are part of his family anymore after what heinous crimes they committed against him and his parents.

"So please make me a part of your life"

'How I made you a part of my life'
