Upon hearing Augustus' words and his expression, Gillian's body shook, and she became flustered immediately.
What does Augustus mean by he was sick? Who dared to call Augustus sick to his face?
Although Gillian had been feeling hesitant about the bullying due to the fact that Augustus was still the Albrecht genius before his fall, hearing his words, she couldn't help thinking that Augustus was in fact being bullied.
Whether it was being done secretly or not, Gillian was yet to know. Soon she’ll find out! She secretly clenched her fist and inwardly promised.
Gillian quickly, albeit gently, tried to cup Augustus’ cheeks to make him look at her in order to explain to him and comfort him. However, he stubbornly looked down and continued crying, making Gillian’s heart ache more on his behalf.
Had Gillian known Augustus would react intensely like this, she'd never have rejected him. But what was she to do? She couldn’t bear the thought of tricking and using him like many other women outside.
Even all the gifts Augustus gave her, she couldn’t bear the thought of using them because how would it make her different from the gold diggers she had always looked down on? She couldn't bear the thought of manipulating his trust.
Gillian gently and continuously wiped away the string of tears that spilled past his eyes, yet they were unending. “Young master, please no. Don’t cry anymore, alright? Please, look at Gillian.” Gillian tried to coax, but despite what she did, Augustus continued to cry and ignore her, making her heart break further.
Hearing Gillian call herself Gillian instead of wife, Augustus doesn’t know why his heart aches so much! Wife really doesn’t like him! The thought made the tears spill past his cheeks faster.
Gillian’s eyes widened helplessly. She quickly wrapped her hands around Augustus and patted his back in a bid to comfort him. “No. No. It’s not like that. Gillian doesn’t think that Augustus is sick, okay? Don't cry anymore, alright?” Gillian continues to coax him.
However, no matter what Gillian does or says, they fail to make Augustus react.
Suddenly, Gillian stood up. Her face paled, and her hands slowly balled into a fist before they fell next to her. Perhaps she had no choice except one... Thinking like this, her tense nerves relaxed slightly.
Gillian believed that Augustus didn’t understand much about a couple's duty, so she had no choice but to slowly lead him on. She gritted her teeth while thinking that her first kiss would just have to be given to him.
Gillian clenched her fist and lowered her head before nodding stiffly in agreement. “Young master, let's do couple duty.” She conveyed and looked at him seriously.
The tears falling past Augustus’ eyes immediately ceased, and a beautiful smile that could make even the brightest color dim appeared on Augustus’ face. “Really?” Augustus eagerly grabbed Gillian's hands and stared at him unblinkingly.
Seeing the blissful smile on Augustus’ face, Gillian couldn't help thinking that she had done a great deed, and her tense mood improved. She lit up a smile and nodded her head softly, albeit firmly. “Yes.” She said once more.
Augustus's beautiful smile immediately widened, making Gillian's heart thrum. This person was just too peerless and otherworldly. Thinking about how he ended up, she really couldn't help but secretly curse heaven for being unfair.
Before Gilliam could blink, Augustus suddenly reached out for the bed. Immediately, he extended his hand into the blanket that draped the bed, and within a minute, a mini remote control appeared in his hand.
Before Gillian could blink, Augustus pressed on the remote control softly, as if he were holding a little treasure rather than a remote control.
Immediately, flowers-like confetti sprayed down on both of them; beautiful light immediately lit up the room in the form of a heart, a moon, and stars; and soft instrumentals began to play in the background, giving it a very romantic feel.
A pure smile lit up on Augustus’ hands, and he held out his hand to Gillian.
Gillian’s heart skipped a beat in fear. She thought she could trick Augustus, but she never expected that he already had everything planned. What the heck was wrong with her?
Since Augustus could use the search engine to find out how to make her happy, of course, he could also use it to search for how to perform couple's duty.
Within the blink of an eye, Gillian's pale face was as white as a sheet, as if it were completely drained of blood. She bit her lower lip with tears in her eyes. She never thought all her firsts would end up like this, but looking at the eager look in his eyes, she gritted her teeth and stiffly and nervously handed over her hand to Augustus. After all, she belonged to him in the first place.
Gillian's heart was racing so fast and loudly against her chest that it was a wonder how Augustus didn't hear.
Immediately, Augustus jumped down from the bed and stood in front of Gillian. He wrapped his right arm between Gillian's left arm and her body and placed it on her back.
His left arm extended to his left. He placed Gillian's right hand on his palm and began to waltz to the soft instrumental played to the beat!
“...” The stunned Gillian who was shocked by how everything turned out. She blinked twice as if to confirm that she wasn't mistaken and thinking nonsense. After dancing twice, she realized she wasn't.
Gillian even bit her lower lip to reassure herself that she wasn't the one thinking nonsense due to petrification. Still, it turned out that she wasn't mistaken and that Augustus really took Waltz as performing couple's duty. How the hell is waltzing a couple's duty?
To imagine that she had almost lost her mind due to the fear of couple's duty, but it turns out that she was afraid of Waltz! Waltz! Gillian really wanted to slap herself!
Despite Gillian's shock, she still cooperates with Augustus and dances according to Augustus’ rhythm.
Gillian bit her lower lip, her black eyes still laced with shock. She raised her face and neck to stare at the handsome man who currently has a pure, childish, and excited smile on his face before asking carefully, “This?”
Augustus simply nodded. “En. Wifey, do you like it?” Augustus’ lips curved up in a pure smile, and he inquired while continuing to waltz expertly. His black eyes fixated on Gillian's face.
Even though Augustus’ waltz held a hint of clumsiness, one still can't fail to notice that he's an expert in dancing the waltz.
For a newbie like Gillian, it was hard for her to keep up with his energetic waltzing.
Upon hearing Augustus’ reply, Gillian subconsciously heaved a deep breath, and her eyes crinkled in a beautiful smile before she nodded sincerely. “Yes. Thank you. I like it,” Gillian admitted.
Somehow, just being in Augustus’ arms while slowly dancing to the soft instrumental that was playing was enough to help Gillian temporarily take a break from the multiple sorrows that engulfed her.
Upon hearing Gillian's reply, Augustus’ eyes lit up immediately. Wife really likes it. Wife is really happy! The corner of his eyes crinkled due to joy, and his hold on Gillian subconsciously tightened. It was as if he never wanted to let Gillian go!
Augustus stared at Gillian and a gorgeous smile blossomed on his face. He really liked this wife so much—more than any other woman he had ever come across. She is very beautiful and exquisite; she smells nice, and she's very kind to him. She also likes to make him happy!
Even though his brain was slow and he felt many things were out of his grasp, Augustus could notice that many of those women who pester him only like him whenever the Albrecht family is present, but...
Whenever those women were alone with him, they'd stare at him with disgust and say a lot of uncomfortable words that made his heart ache and bring tears to his eyes. They'll even play some tricks and make him look bad!
But ever since he came across wife, wife only smiled purely at him; wife didn't even scold him when he vomited earlier; instead, wife cared about his stomach, and wife yelled at the ugly two in the car for being so careless. Lastly, wife doesn't want to make him cry!
