Chapter 18: Bruised Bonds

After returning from the village, Julian immediately took Mia na back to his parents' house.

Arriving at Albert Fidell's residence, they were warmly welcomed by Julian ' parents. In fact, some of the servants in the house were already lined up wearing the same clothes and ready to welcome them.

The spacious and well-maintained yard of the house is clearly visible from the beautiful and cool conditions. In fact, there was hardly any trash strewn around it, though only the remnants of dry leaves had fallen accidentally.

Yes, naturally. There were so many maids working in this house, that Mia na didn't have time to count one by one those who were standing in front of her, welcoming her with Julian .

Mia na and Julian walked through the line, towards their parents who were already standing waiting at the end of the line.

Without waiting for orders, Mia na immediately greeted Julian ' parents who had been smiling broadly.

"How was your first night, was it fun?" The first question asked by Veronica, Julian ' mother, made Mia na momentarily stunned and couldn't answer.

"Mommy, don't make my wife nervous like that," Julian said in response. "The wedding party was very tiring, how could we do the first night in such conditions," he explained later.

"Never mind, Vero, don't pressure them with your question. Isn't there still plenty of time for them to spend their honeymoon?" cut Albert reminded his wife.

"Okay, as soon as I can buy them a honeymoon ticket abroad, so we can have grandchildren soon," said Veronica which suddenly made Mia na rounded.

"Come in!" Veronica seemed to embrace Mia na, bringing her into the house.

"O-okay, Ma'am," said Mia na nervously.

"Don't be so stiff. You're now my daughter-in-law, so call me Mommy, just like Julian calls me!" Veronica said as she walked side by side with her daughter-in-law.

"O-okay, Mom," replied Mia na.

Mia na was slightly flabbergasted, when she had just set foot inside the house. The room is dominated by white, as well as some luxurious furniture that adorns every corner. gives the impression of a bright and comfortable atmosphere. It's really amazing. It felt like she didn't deserve to set foot in a house that looked like a palace.

"I'll show you your room," Veronica said, then led Mia na to the 2nd floor.

Veronica immediately took Mia na to a very spacious room with all the luxurious furniture in it. There was a king size bed, as well as some photos of Julian hanging on the wall and on the nightstand. It was certain that it was Julian ' room, and tonight she would sleep there with the owner of the room.

"This is the room Julian used to live in. And tonight you will sleep here."

Before Mia na could end her daydream, Veronica had already told the woman that she was going to sleep with Julian . Ah, that really made Mia na's hairs goosebumps for a moment.

"Thanks, Mami," Mia na whispered, forcing a smile.

Julian ' mother was so kind to Mia na. Maybe because she doesn't know Mia na's real background yet. I don't know if she had known everything, she could have changed his attitude to hate that woman, or even felt disgusted to have a poor daughter-in-law like Mia na.

"Okay, you should just rest first," said Veronica while smiling at Mia na.

"Thanks, Mami," said Mia na in a tone that still looked awkward.

Veronica gave a smile, then said goodbye to Mia na. She immediately left, leaving Mia na alone in the room. Meanwhile, Julian is still on the 1st floor with his father. They seemed to be talking about something I don't know what it was.

Just as Mia na was about to step foot into the room deeper, suddenly a strange voice made her gasp. She immediately turned towards the source of the voice. There was a waiter standing in front of the room carrying two suitcases.

Mia na immediately smiled kindly at the maid. "You just keep the suitcase near the cupboard, let me tidy it up later," asked Mia na, who already understood the maid's arrival into the room.

"Okay, Miss," said the maid with a slight bow, being polite.

She immediately pulled the two suitcases, then put them next to the wardrobe according to Mia na's orders. Having finished with her task, she immediately said goodbye to Mia na and left the room.

Mia na circled the room, observing every object that was there. There were several photos of Julian , as well as a photo of the boy that was displayed there. It looks like it's a photo of Julian when he was a kid. Every now and then Mia na smiled looking at the photos. Julian has had a handsome face since childhood, it's only natural that now he looks more handsome and dashing, he thought.

When Mia na was just about to take one of the photos, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps stepping into the room.

Mia na immediately gave up her intention, then faced the bedroom door which was still wide open. She seemed to have recognized the pounding sound very well.

At the same time, Julian was standing in the doorway, casting a horrified look at him.

"Sir," Elena whispered, lowering her head.

Without responding, Julian went straight in, then closed the bedroom door, causing Mia na to jump a little.

"Are you surprised?" Julian asked as he noticed Mia na who had jumped slightly.

"N-no, Sir," answered Mia na nervously.

Julian smiled showing his sensual style, then he slowly walked over to Mia na who was standing near a large wardrobe at that time.

Instantly Mia na's body lit up at the look on Julian ' expression at that time, who didn't want to take her eyes off his face. Only negative thoughts at that time filled her head. Mia na trembled in fear, as Julian drew closer to her.

Mia na backed away slowly, trying to avoid Julian . In fact, she didn't intend to take her focus away from Julian ' body that was getting closer and closer to him.

"Sir, what are you going to do?" asked Mia na with slightly trembling lips. However, Julian did not respond to his question. The man continued to approach without caring.

In fact, Mia na's current expression made Julian grin even more happily and reassuringly. I don't know what was in her mind at that time.

Julian looked into Mia na's face, which made the woman tremble with fear. I don't know what he will do to her. Even though Julian hadn't done anything at the hotel before, it still made Mia na worried this time. She wouldn't be willing if Julian dared to touch her, even if it was just a hair.

Mia na continued to step back. However, her steps suddenly stopped, when her back hit the cupboard and was stuck there. While Julian was getting closer. It seemed that Mia na was no longer able to avoid the man. I don't know what he should do now.
