The Devil's Sleeping Beauty
Chapter 25 Sorry, he's asleep
When Xia Meiren left the room, Lu Yifeng opened his eyes. He stared at the ceiling with thoughts. He heard what she said earlier since he woke up by the time she entered the room.
He felt as though there was this hole in his chest and this invisible hand, wringing his heart and ripping it to shreds after hearing her words.
How can he make things right with her? Back then, he didn't believe in love at first sight but it happened to him. Although instead of love, he told himself that he was just attracted to her.
What made him endure the pain that her grandparents brought him was because he believes that it was his responsibility to make up for his mistake. Despite being a man who brought terror to others, he was actually a pretty decent person... as long as no one tried to go in his bad side.
Did he regret his actions that night? No he didn't. He wasn't apologizing for his actions that night. Little Melon wouldn't come into this world if that didn't happen. He might even lose the opportunity to know a woman like Xia Meiren.
If that night didn't happen, he could've meet Xia Meiren in a different situation but that doesn't guarantee him that she will still be single.
The reason why he apologized to her was for hurting her and for bringing pain to her because of what happened. He regretted using his money as a compensation when he can just offer her his body. He should have stayed that night and accepted her anger when she wakes up. He didn't know that she was actually drugged by someone but if he did, he would not force her into something she will not like.
He regretted not searching for her the following days even if his mind was full of her. He should have been by her side when she gave birth to their son. He may be the source of her nightmare but he wanted to prove to her that he can also replace the nightmare that he gave her.
Now that he have her, he will not let her go. He doesn't care if a love spell was casted on him or if he ate something with a love potion in it, he will continue to pursue her no matter what. Right now, until the end of their days, he promised to himself that he will never hurt her again. In this lifetime, until the next, she will only be the woman for him.
Because of this, even if he will have a hard time redeeming himself, he will be patient. After all, he knows that it is always worth the wait. Nothing comes good in forcing her to him that's why he was willing to take one step at a time just to be with her.
Why was he this stubborn? Because there's this something that makes him want to be with her, to hold her in his arms. That night, if Lu Xian Yu didn't call him, he would have stayed with Xia Meiren. There was something that pulls him to her... was it the red strings of fate pulling them together?

Little Melon woke up early in the morning and saw Xia Meiren's sleeping face. He smiled upon seeing that his mother kept her promise. Since his mother was here, is his father here too?
He turned his body and faced the other side only to see it empty. The smile on his face disappeared when he didn't see his father.
He sat down and patted Xia Meiren's cheek lightly. "Momma, momma, where's dada?"
Since she arrived late that night, Xia Meiren was still sleepy. She groaned sleepily before she wrapped her arms around Little Melon's chest. "Hnnn... who's your daddy?"
Little Melon puffed out his cheeks cutely as he saw his mother bury her face on his side. "Dada is Mello's Dada!"
There was no response from Xia Meiren since she went back to sleep.
"Mommmaaaaa." Little Melon tried to wake her up again.
"Babbbbyyy... Let your mommy sleep some more..." This time she covered her head with a pillow.
But just like his father, Little Melon was stubborn. He will not stop until he knows where his father is.
Giving up, Xia Meiren took her phone and dialed Lu Yifeng's number. "Here, talk to him, not me." And after that she turned her back to her son and continued sleeping.
Little Melon pouted but when the call got in, Little Melon's eyes sparkled.
"Hello?" A woman's voice from the other line was heard.
Little Melon furrowed his brows. This is not his father's voice. "You're not my dada."
"Dada?" The woman was caught off guard when she heard a child voice. She suddenly remembered the news that she saw about Lu Yifeng and Xia Meiren.
"Mello wants to talk to dada!"
"Sorry, he's asleep." The woman said in a cold manner.
Little Melon pouted. "Then who are you, auntie? Why are you with dada?"
'Auntie'? She frowned. She was still young! "Oh me? It's just normal for me to be here since I am your father's lover."
He felt as though there was this hole in his chest and this invisible hand, wringing his heart and ripping it to shreds after hearing her words.
