Wirata turned to look at him.

"Do you understand what I am saying?"

There was still a question to check his understanding.

Stefan sighed. Aside from feeling sorry for the husband, Stefan would feel sorry for her children, too. 

Children? ...

Stefan glanced at her beautiful face.

"I understand that you haven't answered my question yet. And you tried to avoid answering my question by making me dizzy with your long lecture."

"Which question?" She pretended to ask.

"The question that I want to apply to be the man you will love and live with forever. Just give me the application form. I'll fill it in."

He said with his eyes glistering. 

Wirata gazed at the handsome face. He said as if he was going to apply for a job. Wirata turned to lie on her side. He turned to lie on his side. They both now were facing each other. 

"Do you mean it? Or Are you just joking?"

She asked. Her voice was smooth and even without any excitement. Stefan felt displeased a little. He was asking to be her man but she treated his words as they were not important to her at all. 

 "I am serious." He answered without hesitation.

 Wirata was thinking that the man like Stefan always got everything he wanted and got it too easy. Just a single finger-wagging, and everybody hurriedly to serve him. He easily claimed her body despite that she was not even willing to cooperate.

Now he was talking about the heart and the feeling as if it was going to be easily handed to him, just like every time he demanded anything.

She was still considering while looking at the handsome face of the man who was unaware that he had already gotten her whole heart in his hands.  

Thinking back to her original intentions. She was determined to preach and teach the proud and arrogant man without seeing anyone's head to learn his lessons.

If she just said YES and revealed her whole feelings to him. Just like other people did. If she handed it to him easily without him losing his sweat, without an effort, no difficulty and obstacle to challenge him. It would be worthless to him sooner or later.

์And now they were discussing 'Heart and Love' which was the most important thing in our lives. To give it to the man without him trying, it could not be a sensible move of a sensible woman like Wirata.

Wirata decided quietly. Regarding the time remaining from the contract, she would use it to prove a man named Stefan Mackenzie.

Whether he was good enough and worthy to be the person she would lay her whole heart and life in his hands or not.

For Wirata, if she could choose, she would like to have only one man in her entire life. The man she would give her heart, her body, her life, and her soul to. The man who would be her everything.

Stefan lay silently, staring at the beautiful face that seemed to be pondering deeply in her head. She had not answered him yet. Stefan could not help but felt frightened in his heart.

He was afraid she would reject him. She was a tough one to break, he knew that. The woman with a solid brain. She was counting the days waiting for the contract to expire. And when thinking about his previous behaviors toward her. It was not good. He did want to imagine further...

"You know that we have started our relations.h.i.+p in the wrong steps."

The crystal clear voice finally said out. Stefan nodded, reaching to touch her cheeks.

"I'm sorry to force you like that."

He said with sincerity in his voice. He knew he used his experience and superior power to easily overcome her body. 

Wirata sighed before nodding to accept his apology. Stefan kissed on her forehead.

"I mean it, that I am very sorry."

The gentle voice said again. Wirata nodded again, too.

"I am okay now. But as we know, the body and the heart are different issues. According to the karma law, you will get back what you give out."

"To pay back my karma, I am willing to let you wrestle me at any time."

The man said. Wirata could not help to send a dragger glare to him. He always was good at twisting words to suit himself.

"Okay, Stefan. I don't have any answer to give you. But I will let you find a way to get what you want."

"Do continue."

He knew she had not finished her speech yet and he was eager to hear what she had to say.

"First, you need to know what you really want. Whether it is temporary or forever. The word forever is very long. It means all your life. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Miss. I'm listening." He went along with her.

"You are easy to get bored. Please think carefully before saying anything out in the future. Please bear in mind that once you say it out, you won't be able to take it back. As you have already experienced it."

Wirata concluded and finished the lecture. Stefan knew that it was not easy to persuade a strong-minded woman in front of him. But at least she softened down a little. So he would not give up.

"Amen."

The harsh voice was teasing, causing her to laugh at the end. The big hand pulled her soft body to hug. His face was near her face.

"You are like a nun plus a teacher, do you know that? My ears are swollen and ringing right now. Are you sure you are on the red light? Not because you don't want me to make love to you. "

The question was not related to all the things they have been discussed for the night at all.

The warm hands started to caress her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and squeezing her hips gently. Wirata grabbed the one on her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. She sent him a serious glare.

"So, do you understand what I said?" She wanted to make sure he got it.

"What I understand is I want to be the man who you will love and want to spend the whole life with. And I will do anything to prove it to you."

He said. Wirata sighed and then gave out a light smile to the man who complained that his ears were ringing. He just focused on what he wanted and intended to get it as usual. Stefan was Stefan at the end of the day. But he did understand what she tried to give him a hint.
