《Mr. Vampire’s Wife》Chapter 40: Wishful Thinking
Advertisement
After Kazuya received the keys, he headed towards room 2608 hurriedly. He came to a stop in front of the door. He inhaled some air, trying to calm himself. He hesitated whether to just barge in or knock on the door first.
He lifted his hands to knock, but changed his mind so he put his hand down. He gave it some thought and raised his hands again but put it down the next second. He repeated this step for so long that he started sweating. It was winter right now and the hotel had turned on their heater. Kazuya was dressed in his usual business suit, but he started sweating from nervousness and the heat from the heater.
Finally, he made up his mind and decided to know on the door.
Knock. Knock.
"..." There was no answer.
After a while, he decided to knock again but as he raised his hand, the door squeaked open a little, allowing the person inside to peek outside the room.
As soon as the woman saw who was outside, she quickly closed the door with a bang. The blonde woman quickly locked her room again and ran around the room, finding places to hide. She ran into the bathroom and closed the door quickly. She wanted to lock the bathroom door too but there was no lock so she used a chair nearby to block the door. She searched the bathroom and ran to the bathtub, closing the curtains to hide herself. She also turned on the water so that the sound could overlap her sobs. She had started crying again when she saw that handsome face.
Kazuya who noticed the little face that had peeked at him had confirmed that the woman inside was really Lilica. Relieved, he revealed a rare smile. He knocked on the door again but no one answered. He figured that Lilica had probably locked the door and found somewhere to hide already. Luckily, he had threatened the operator earlier and received the key.

Click.
Kazuya unlocked the door and went inside. Lilica probably panicked and didn't use the chain lock so Kazuya could enter the room easily.
He looked around and heard a sound of water running. He walked towards the bathroom and opened the door. He noticed that there was something blocking the door on the other side. This confirmed that she was really in the bathroom. Kazuya used more force to open the door and this time, he could go inside the bathroom.
Hearing the noise, Lilica was startled. She knew Kazuya had entered the bathroom and was walking towards her. Her quickly stopped and she started panicking again. She now had nowhere to run to. She was cornered.
As Lilica was formulating plans in her head, the curtains were pushed by someone, revealing her tear-stained face. Lilica looked up and saw the handsome man again. Guilt, loneliness, sadness, angriness, longing, all kinds of emotions ran through her as she stared at the man in front of her.
Kazuya looked at Lilica and felt his heart break. It was obvious she was crying earlier. Her eyes were still red and puffy, like she had cried her heart out. Kazuya grabbed one of her arms and pulled her up. Her clothes were now wet and stuck to her body, revealing her sexy body shape. Kazuya was starting to feel aroused when he looked at the drenched woman before him, but he had to stop his urges to comfort the poor girl. More than her body, he wanted her heart.
Kazuya lifted Lilica up and carried her princess-styled. He moved her towards the bed while grabbing a towel and bathrobe for her. He took her clothes off quickly and wrapped her in a bathrobe and used the towel to dry her body and hair, afraid she would catch a cold.
Lilica looked silently at the man before her. She had never seen this expression of his. His magnetic blue eyes showed a worried and caring look. She felt like she was being treasured, even though she knew that was just her wishful thinking.
