CHAPTER 144
“K-Kevin?!”Everybody almost had the same reaction. Their expressions froze in utter disbelief.Whether it was the gun or the presence of the man himself, Cecilia couldn’t tell.But she was sure of one thing.They didn’t expect this at all.Now, they know why she had to wake them up in the middle of the night.It was all because Kevin requested her to do so.But how did Kevin even manage to get past all the guards and the police officers guarding the mansion in all directions?“Meet your son-in-law, Mom,” Cecilia introduced him.Kevin introduced himself by bowing to Brielle and Orland. “My name is Kevin Kingsley. I specialize in things related to toilets. And right now,” he sniffed around. “I smell something.”“Smell what?” Sadia asked.“Shit,” Kevin replied.“Ew, what?” Sadia’s face warped with disgust.Kevin pointed the gun at her.“Aiyeee!” Sadia jumped onto the couch and curled herself into a ball next to her husband. “Don’t shoot me!”“K-Kevin!” Rory raised his voice. “Are you cr
CHAPTER 143
“Aunt, please let me out of jail!” Kevin was begging Brielle on the mobile. “I will do anything you say. I learned from my mistakes. I will never disobey you.”“It’s too late,” Brielle laughed merrily. “You should have divorced my daughter while you had the chance!”Knock knock.Brielle opened her eyes and found herself in the bed. She was in her room. “That was a dream? Tsk.”Knock knock. She checked the time on her mobile. It was one in the night.“Who’s knocking at this hour?” she got up from the bed. “Who is it?”“Mom, it’s me,” Cecilia’s voice came form the other side.“Cecilia?” Brielle opened the door. “What’s wrong? Why are you awake at this hour? Are you unable to sleep?”“Can you bring Dad to the living hall?” Cecilia asked.“Living hall? Why? Is there something you want to talk about?”Cecilia nodded.“Now?”“Yeah.”“Can’t we do it in the morning?”“It can’t wait,” Cecilia said.Brielle sighed. “Alright.” She sent a group call to everybody in the house and woke them up. “C
CHAPTER 142
Cecilia was not interested in learning self-defense, but she agreed anyway.“Are you going to teach me how to use a gun properly?” she was asking, but then his hand touched her belly and slowly lifted up the shirt.She didn’t say anything, but her heart started picking up pace.“I’m lifting your shirt here,” Kevin said. “Shouldn’t you be defending yourself right now?”“I-I didn’t think it was this kind of self defense.”This would be much more difficult than learning how to use a gun, she thought.Cecilia’s smile softened into something quieter as his finger dipped into her belly button.One of his knees moved and rested between her legs, close enough that she could feel his warmth without feeling overwhelmed.“O-Okay,” she said, trying for seriousness and failing. “I-Instructor Kevin. How do you expect me to defend myself now?”“Awareness,” he replied, eyes intent but smiling. “You need to know where your hands are. Where mine are.”“As if I can’t be aware of that,” she mumbled.He c
CHAPTER 141
Kevin went to Cecilia’s room.The door was locked, but Kevin used the system to hack the lock and open it from the outside.He slowly opened the door, not wanting to alert his wife.Cecilia was sleeping while hugging a pillow.The word ‘husband’ was on the pillow.Kevin didn’t notice that before, so he felt a sense of warmth flowing through his heart. “If you love me so much, why didn’t you just tell me to come and live in your room?”He didn’t wake her up.He quietly looked around the room for a minute. “There are no hidden cameras. That’s good.”He then sat down on the bed and patted Cecilia’s arm.After he did it a few times, she slowly opened her eyes. Realizing that someone’s hand was on her arm, she suddenly freaked out.“Shhh!” Kevin shut her mouth as fast as he could and pressed her down.When she saw him, all the panic vanished without a trace.Her eyes kept staring at him.Kevin’s hand was still on her mouth because he was staring into her eyes.He slowly removed his hand an
CHAPTER 140
Even after the old man disappeared from Kevin’s sight and senses, he didn’t let his guard down.Only after the system messaged him that the old man left, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief.He looked in the direction of the mansion.“I can somehow survive all the attacks that come at me, but what if Cecilia gets attacked? Jack isn’t crazy enough to attack her to get to me, is he? He says he loves her, so he wouldn’t do that, right?”Kevin suddenly felt like seeing his wife once with his own eyes.So, he quietly jumped over the mansion walls without being seen by the guards or other security personnel.He climbed the wall using a pipe and reached the first floor’s balcony.But Sadia was on the balcony, brushing her teeth.“Why is she brushing in the middle of the night?” Kevin frowned.Sadia spat the foam to the side.It would have fallen on Kevin’s face had he not moved his head out of the way. In doing so, his head hit the wall, and he cringed in pain.“Mm? What was that noise?’ Sadia l
CHAPTER 139
“Are you freaking kidding me now?” Kevin couldn’t believe it. “How could you seal my skill in the middle of my fight? And my life is only worth 1 million dollars?”[You brought this on yourself.] The system’s voice mimicked Brielle’s slang. [You don’t listen to your enemies’ commands. You make them listen to your commands.]“Hey, I didn’t obey his command. I tricked him into thinking that I did. How is that shameful? Nothing is shameful when it comes to survival.”[That’s why you cleaned toilets in your in-laws’ mansion for three years. You’d do anything to survive.]Kevin frowned, especially because he felt that the system was mimicking Brielle.[You cannot show off with cheap trickery!] the system warned him again. [What you say must be powerful, not weak! And what you do afterward must surpass your words! That’s how you must complete tasks. The problem isn’t with you closing your eyes, but you closing them when your opponent told you to.]Kevin slowly shook his head and said aloud,
