INJURED BY FAREWELL
CHAPTER 72

Now that the Emperor and Audrey were in front of Adelia's courtyard, they were still in the car.

The emperor opened his seatbelt, "Can the road?" Ask Audrey.

"Can." Answer Audrey.

"But you said it was a pain, I'm just carrying it." Said the Emperor who sounded worried.

"Ishh, no." Audrey's reply was quick. "Later they asked. There's no way I'm saying I'm just fulfilling my duty as a wife." Another imbibing.

Emperor smiled. "Yes." Yeah."

Now they all sit together in the living room, although Ryu and the Emperor are friendly but still Ryu formally requests permission from the Emperor as the head of the family in Adelia's house to ask Keiina officially.

Although it initially felt heavy for the Emperor, taking off the sister he had just found, the Emperor was also happy because Ryu was his own best friend who proposed to Keiina to be his wife. The Emperor accepts Ryu's goodwill and allows Ryu to bring his family to propose to Keiina officially.

**

Audrey was soaking in warm water with aromatherapy droplets in the bathtub her body felt crumpled because the core part was still sore. Audrey was not the type to complain, therefore she did not complain about her pain to the Emperor, only if the Emperor asked would Audrey answer.

Audrey closed her eyes while enjoying the warm water that felt comfortable in her body, thinking about what Mutia and Adelia had discussed about the wedding reception before Keiina and Ryu got married.

Mutia and Adelia wanted to hold the wedding reception of the Emperor and Audrey, while the Emperor and Audrey had not discussed it at all.

The movement of the water in the bathtub made Audrey gasp, as someone walked in and sat in the bathtub.

"Yes.." Call Audrey. "Bikin' shocked." Her speech.

The Emperor changed his seat behind Audrey while holding Audrey behind him and now Audrey leaning in front of the Emperor.

"What are you thinking?" Asked the Emperor who realized there was something that Audrey did not reveal.

"Nothing." Answer Audrey.

The Emperor kissed Audrey's open shoulder, "Tell me."

"Nothing, Kai. I'm just tired once." Answer Audrey.

"You still don't trust me? Hem?" Ask Emperor.

Audrey was silent.

"Is this because of our wedding reception?" Ask Emperor.

Audrey remained silent and the Emperor tightened his embrace. "You're not comfortable if we have a reception?" Asked the Emperor and Audrey nodded.

"I just don't want to, my origins in the publication." Audrey tried to be honest. "However you know, I was born out of a mistake, my mother took my Papa from her wife, My mother just left, Papa didn't take care of me so I was adopted by Ryu's family." Audrey sighed. "What else before I met you I almost became an actor too." Audrey.

The Emperor understood what Audrey was feeling. Audrey who used to be an introverted and insecure girl disliked the crowd.

"I will silence the mouth of the media, no one will dare to harass you." Emperor Said.

Audrey shook her head. "What if I don't want to?"

The Emperor did not reply, he was also confused. On the other hand he had to hold the reception to introduce Audrey as his wife to the public, even to all of his co-workers. But on the other hand, he did not want to suppress Audrey.

"Sorry, Kai. But I don't want to. It's okay if you want to divorce me, I'll take it." Said Audrey who looked unsettled.

"What do you mean?" The Emperor asked dislikefully as he turned Audrey's body to face him.

"Marry the woman you can introduce to the public, Kai."

"Audrey Yue!!" Call Emperor. "You think I'm playing with you marrying you? You think it's easy to find a life partner for life?"

"But I can't, Kai. I don't want to be introduced to the public. You don't know what it's like to hear so many people's negative slurs about me." Audrey said, now covering her face and crying.

The Emperor caught up with Audrey, and he immediately searched for Audrey, who was already on the bed, covering her body with a thick blanket to the chin with his back to the Emperor.

The emperor also went up to the bed. Get inside the blanket and close herself up with Audrey's body.

"Sorry." Said the Emperor in a word. "I'm sorry I don't understand you." The Emperor said again while hugging Audrey tightly.

"Please don't say goodbye again, for me it hurts a lot. I love you, Queen. I love you so much." Emperor Said.

Audrey was silent and pretended to be asleep even though the Emperor himself knew that Audrey had not fully slept.

**

In the morning, the Emperor blinked his eyes, he sat down as he did not see Audrey by his side.

"Audrey.." Call Emperor. He soon wakes up and searches Audrey for the toilet and walk in closet but finds Audrey's whereabouts.

"Shiit." Bump the Emperor while punching the Air.

The trauma of being abandoned left him unable to think clearly, the Emperor presumes that Audrey left him.

The Emperor came out of his room and looked for Audrey to Keiina's room, but he still could not find Audrey, only to see Keiina sleeping alone.

The emperor immediately headed downstairs to question the security section of his house, but his eyes were fixed on the figure that scared him to death, Audrey, who was in the kitchen, was making a cup of drink that would have been shown to the Emperor.

With the Emperor's broad steps approaching Audrey and then pulling his hand to face her, the Emperor hugged Audrey by hiding his face in the recess of Audrey's neck.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry.." His voice sounded trembling.

"Kai.. You why?" Ask Audrey.

"You left me." Emperor Said.

"I made you coffee and got you some mineral water." Reply Audrey told.

"I thought you left me, I was so scared. I'm sorry, sorry for all my mistakes. Don't go." Lirih Emperor.

Audrey rubbed the Emperor's back, to calm him down, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm here with you." Audrey's heart was so touched that no one had ever expected her to exist, but the Emperor had always wished for her to be by her side.

How the Emperor was the one who admired his existence. With the Emperor, Audrey was comfortable, feeling in need, feeling protected, there was actually nothing Audrey should fear, It was true the Emperor said that the Emperor would definitely protect her from all those who would disturb Audrey's past. Audrey should have trusted the Emperor and should not have been afraid of something that had not happened.

"Let's go to the room." Audrey said as she broke her embrace.

Audrey carried a tray of mineral water and coffee that she had made for the Emperor. While the Emperor did not release his embrace on Audrey's shoulder.

Now they sit on the couch in the room. Audrey gave her mineral water and the Emperor drank it to the toilet.

Audrey summarized the Emperor's face, "I'm sorry."

The Emperor looked at Audrey.

"I should have believed you if you would have protected me." Said in the end.

"We won't have a reception if you're uncomfortable." Emperor Said.

Audrey shook her head, "We're having a reception, I believe you'll do the best thing for me, protect me and won't let anyone else harass me."

The Emperor smiled, "Are you sure? You're not leaving me later?"

"I'm not leaving you, never will be, that's my promise." Reply Audrey.
