《Luck is a Charm》A Starry Night (II)

Advertisement

Sara finished changing to her usual nightwear clothes and then she turned around to look at Zhen in the eye.

"Seen enough yet?" Sara said softly to Zhen since she knew he definitely peeked at her.

"Eh, it would be more fantastic if I have seen your other private parts too." Zhen replied without thinking ahead before realizing his mistakes.

'Damn, I unconsciously replied to Sara's question as I was still mesmerized by that strip scene. I even exposed the fact of me peeking at her. What a blunder!'

Zhen tilted his body a bit before hitting his head lightly with his right hand and then stood up to look at Sara sincerely.

"Sara, let's be honest, do you really think I can take my eyes off of your body when you change with my presence? There's no way I would let go of this opportunity to stare at my future wife's figure."

Even though Zhen might get pinched or twisted in his ear, Zhen thinks it's better to come clean.

Sara's face turned bright red but she didn't say anything and simply walked closer to the bed where Zhen is currently in front of it.

'Sigh, it's going to be a gruesome punishment for me.'

Zhen thought inwardly so he closed his eyelid and waited for the inevitable pain.

2 minutes have passed but Zhen still felt no pain.

Confused, Zhen slowly opened his eyes and found out that Sara was lying on the other side of the bed.

"Weren't you going to pinch my waist or twist my ear?" Zhen asked with a surprised tone.

"I already knew you were going to peek anyway and do you really want me to twist your ear?" Sara replied nonchalantly, almost like being peeked at by Zhen doesn't matter much.

'God, is my luck really that great.'

Zhen can't help but shout in his mind for this turn of an event.

Since Sara has spoken like that, Zhen strips off his clothes until only one simple shirt is left and hops in the bed.

*Thump*

Sara's bed is big enough to fit two people and Zhen wonders if it was destined for this beautiful moment.

Without wasting any precious time, Zhen instantly wrapped his hand around her waist and tried to go for a kiss but she stopped him with a finger.

"Story. I want to hear your story and if I'm not satisfied, then you can sleep on the floor instead." Sara said with a cold tone.

'A story huh, I'm not even good at telling a story as I had no one to speak with besides that kind maid of mine.'

Zhen thought for a bit before deciding his only option was to tell her a bit of his past since she will become his official family soon.

"Sara, I'm going to tell you a bit about my childhood to adulthood and it's not going to be pleasant at all. It could also ruin your sleep when I start speaking so are you sure about this."

Zhen spoke in a low sorrowful tone as he recalled his past where he has buried deep inside his heart.

"Even if it's sorrow, I wasn't there in the beginning but if we're really going to be... a couple then I wish to share some burden that you've been holding." Sara slowly gets up before using the pillow in the back to lean on.

Seeing her determined expression, Zhen took a deep breath as speaking any more words in convincing is useless.

*Huff*

Taking a few minutes, Zhen continued his long story from the past to Sara who is staring at him to begin.

"I don't know much but when I was born, my parent's luck and fate started to turn. They used to be extremely lucky and owned multiple buildings with around a few billion net worths. But ever since my birth, I was left alone for a maid to take care of."

"The maid has told me that I was labeled as misfortune and sent away by my parents so they could get back to their usual standing in the world. Alas, it was futile because when I turned 5 years old, my parent's empire collapsed."

"They came to the tiny house that I lived with the maid and drove her off to live with me. I thought they had finally come back for me but it was simply because this is their only house left. I was abused, beaten, forced to starve, and left outside the house to sleep."

"It was still summer at that time so it was bearable but when winter came, I was still not allowed inside and have gotten sick multiple times. There was an occasion where I was going to die as there was no treatment but I gritted my way to survive."

"This continued on until I started attending school because the maid applied for me as she couldn't bear my suffering. She took me away from my so-called parents and started to educate me."

"I was really happy during those days with the maid until the beginning of my college year. I walked back home to find my maid dying at the hands of my parents and they cursed her while laughing."

"They said, this damn whore adopted that misfortune causing the luck that we have gotten to turn into a pile of dirt. Now we wait and kill that damn brat when he returns. The fortune-teller told us that he must at least live until this age before he can disappear and that's when their misery would be gone."

As Zhen continued speaking, his eye has already turned bloodshot and his hand has formed into a fist so hard that blood starts coming out from it.

Sara noticed his drastic change of emotion and painful look, quickly hugged him from behind.

"If it's painful then stop. You don't have to remember the past anymore since you have me and Kuro by your side now. Also, my parents are your parents now too."

Feeling Sara's warmth behind him, Zhen slowly calmed down and held her hand that was in his stomach.

Taking another few minutes to calm his emotion down and regain his composure.

Zhen slowly spoke, "What I continue to say might make you hate me because it.... made me... inhumane. Therefore, I would continue to talk about the event after that, and if you can't accept that fact...."

Zhen trailed off a bit before mustering his courage to finish his last sentence.

"I won't stop you from leaving me and before you refute, let me continue the story."

It took Zhen a lot of courage to say that last sentence since he definitely wouldn't want Sara to leave him alone after what they experience together.
