Chapter 39: Sincere Apology

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chaucer ate his breakfast and couldn’t help but think of what happened last night. Although he was drunk, he knew Mila had helped him to the bed, but she left after covering him with the blanket. She didn’t do anything overboard at all.

At this moment, Chaucer also felt what he said in the car the day before had hurt Mila. If she really had the intention, she could have slept in his bed while he was drunk and pretended to have had sex with him, but Mila didn’t do anything.

At the thought of this, Chaucer said sincerely, “Mila, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things yesterday.”

Mila turned around and looked at Chaucer in surprise. She didn’t expect Chaucer to apologize so sincerely. Moreover, Chaucer used to call her in a serious tone, but this time, he called her in an intimate way.

The simple words instantly closed the distance between them.

Mila smiled happily. “Seeing how sincere you are, I’ll forgive you!”

Mila had been unhappy since yesterday. Now that she heard Chaucer’s apology, the gloominess in her heart was instantly swept away.

After Chaucer finished breakfast, Mila cleaned up the dishes. Seeing that he was going to work, Mila said with concern, “You were drunk last night. Don’t drive today.”

“Okay! I’ll leave the keys here. You can take the car in the afternoon when you go shopping.” After saying that, Chaucer placed the car keys on the cabinet at the entrance.

Mila smiled gently. “Okay. I’ll make a feast tonight. Come back early!”

“Got it.”

When Chaucer went out, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. He suddenly felt so blessed to have someone waiting for him to go home for dinner.

Mila finished watching a drama at home and was about to eat something before going shopping. Just as she was about to enter the kitchen, Laila suddenly called and said she wanted to have lunch with Mila.

Laila was usually very busy and wouldn’t suddenly want to have lunch with Mila. Mila guessed that Laila had something to discuss her work.

Mila agreed and immediately got ready. They were going to meet at a restaurant near Dragon Bay.

Laila entered the private room first. After a while, Mila arrived. As soon as she entered, she went straight to the point. “Laila, you aren’t here for lunch, right? Did something happen?”

“It’s not a big deal. I just want to ask you some personal questions. After getting off the plane yesterday, you said someone was picking you up. Was that your boyfriend?” Laila asked bluntly.

“No.”

Hearing Mila’s answer, Laila felt relieved.

The next second, Mila said lightly, “It was my husband.”

“What?” Laila’s surprised voice turned sharp as she looked at Mila in shock. “Mila, that’s not funny!”

“Laila, I’m telling the truth.”

“Your information shows you’re single! When did you get married?”

When Laila took over Mila, she carefully read Mila’s information and memorized it all. She clearly remembered Mila was unmarried.

Mila smiled in embarrassment. “I got married not long ago. I told Jane back then.”

As an artist, she couldn’t hide her marriage status from her manager. Hence, after getting married, Mila immediately told her previous manager, Jane, about this. However, Jane never took it to heart and didn’t put it in the system. That was why Laila always thought Mila was still single.

“Mila, what does your husband do? Is he also in the entertainment industry?” Laila asked seriously. She had to understand the situation first. If that information ever got exposed, she could immediately think of a countermeasure.

“He’s not from the industry. He has started his own business and is the head of a small firm. We haven’t had a wedding ceremony yet. Only our families and a few friends know about our relationship,” Mila answered sincerely.

“Are you going to have a baby?” Laila asked another question.

Since the they were married, they had to face the possibility of having children. Mila’s career was on the rise. It wasn’t a good choice to have children right now.

Mila immediately replied, “Not within a year. If we’re going to have a baby, we’ll tell you in advance.”

She and Chaucer were only married in name. Until now, they had never slept together. They were more like roommates.

Naturally, it was impossible to have children. However, Mila didn’t sound too definite. After all, who could say for sure what would happen in the future?

“Just keep that in mind. You should know I’ve already arranged variety shows and advertisements for you. Once you’re pregnant, you have to stop working. Not only will it involve breaching the contract, but it will also affect your reputation,” Laila reminded Mila.
