MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 43

Vicente usually stayed on the second floor, not letting anyone even come near it without her permission. She would take off her flat-chested disguise and toss it aside before taking a bath. She’d only wear it the next day when she had to keep up her facade again.

When John knocked on her door, her mind was not clear and she thought she was on the second floor.

Vicente didn’t realize it yet. With her heavy eyelids, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” John answered. He soon digested the fact that Vicente had been disguising herself as a man. With everything that had been happening recently, it was not difficult to guess why she was doing this.

Vicente’s voice was quite manly. He wondered how she was able to speak like that.

“Then I’ll just go back to sleep.” Vicente slammed the door and went back to bed.

The moment the door closed, John then remembered why he knocked on her door in the first place, but he wasn’t going to risk disturbing this sleepy woman again.

Helplessly, John had to go find Cali. If Cali went to the second floor with him, the others would not suspect him.

The servants in the castle were divided into different groups and had to abide by different rules and regulations. Cali was responsible for serving Nina and her children. She had to start working around eight o’clock while other servants like Ivy, who did chores, started working from half past six in the morning.

Ivy had a lot of strenuous work to deal with every day. On the other hand, Cali had a fairly easy and relaxed job while still getting paid more than anyone else.

It could be argued that she deserved it though. She was a top nursing student with astounding professional skills. It would come as no shock that Vicente handpicked her to work in the castle.

This was only one of the reasons though. Vicente’s mother helped Cali throughout her childhood since she had lost her parents. This woman stepped in and provided her with food, clothing and education.

Vicente and Cali had known each other since childhood, so she was naturally trustworthy enough to get the job. Vicente didn’t suspect Cali when Van and Don went missing.

Many people in the castle were envious of Cali. Some fawned on her, others looked down on her, and some made friends with her while secretly gossiping behind her back.

Ivy fell into this last category.

She knew how to get on Cali’s good side. After making friends with her, Ivy moved in and lived with Cali. The room was incredibly spacious and all that needed to be added was a bed for Ivy. Other servants were nowhere near as lucky. They had to share four-bed rooms.

Ivy routinely woke up around six o’clock and spitefully looked over at her roommate. They were both maids, but Cali was superior. Reluctantly, Ivy got up and deliberately made a racket as she washed up. Cali frowned and called out, prompting Ivy’s apology.

Ivy put on her uniform and trudged off to her boring job.

She yawned and ambled forward. Then, she saw John marching towards her which instantly sobered her up.

“Sean!” Ivy greeted him warmly. “Good morning, Sean. What brings you here? Shouldn’t you be jogging about now?”

John wasn’t interested in talking to her at first, but after she brought up this personal detail, she had his attention.

Ivy shivered under John’s sudden glance. ‘Oh my God, Sean’s eyes are terrifying. Why on earth does Cali like him?

No matter how handsome he is, he is still a bodyguard.

If it was up to me, I’d choose Count Nangong. I don’t care if he’s married. Every man cheats.’ Realizing that John had marched onwards, Ivy hurriedly stopped him. “Sean, are you looking for Cali?”

John stopped and looked at her with a warmer expression.

Ivy realized what was going on and began looking him up and down meaningfully. Only a few moments passed when she was startled by his piercing gaze.

“Sean, Cali hasn’t gotten up yet. Let me help you bring her here.”

“Okay.” Hearing John’s word, Ivy went back to her room to call Cali.

“Sean is really a horrible man. He is not as gentle as Count Nangong. Does Cali like being abused?” Ivy muttered and walked to Cali’s bed to lift the quilt.

“Cali, get up.”

The air-conditioner was on in the room, so Cali felt the cold chill waft over her body as the quilt was lifted.

Cali forcefully yanked the quilt back over her in frustration. “Let me sleep. My alarm hasn’t rung yet.”

“No, you have to get up.” Ivy pulled Cali’s quilt again. “If you keep sleeping, your sweetheart will get tired of waiting for you.”

“What?” Cali turned over and went back to sleep.

Ivy rolled her eyes and urged, “Sean is looking for you.”

Cali shivered and sat up. “Excuse me! I beg your pardon? Who is looking for me? Sean? Really?”

“Yes. Why would I lie to you? Now go and wash up. I don’t know why he wants to see you. Maybe he suddenly realized that he likes you, so he’s taking the initiative.”

“Do you really think so?” Cali’s eyes lit up. She quickly got up from the bed, hurriedly washed her face and sat in front of the dresser.

Ivy stood beside her and asked, “Have you tried what I told you last time?”

Cali stopped applying the foundation. “No, I don’t think it’s a good idea to lie. I can unscrew the cap myself.”

“Okay.” Ivy didn’t like how Cali was behaving. “You don’t need to worry. He’s clearly very special to you. He must like you.”

Cali’s heart began thump in her chest. She picked up the eyebrow pencil and began to draw her eyebrows carefully.

Looking at the woman in the mirror, Ivy praised, “Cali, you are beautiful. You don’t even need the makeup, but it’s only going to make you prettier.”

“You are also really stunning. You have a gorgeous face with delicate features.” Cali praised Ivy and began to do her eyelashes.

With a shy expression, Ivy pushed Cali aside a little and looked at herself in the mirror. She soon adopted a somber mood as her body slouched. “I’m not good-looking. Princess Nina is good-looking.”

“Princess Nina is not just pretty, she’s absolutely gorgeous.

No wonder Count Nangong likes her so much.

It’s probably more than that actually. She’s so talented and she has an undying temperament to always admire.”

Ivy became impatient and interrupted, “All right, all right. You are all high-level scholars. Let’s not talk about this any longer. You’d better find an opportunity to express your love to Sean as soon as possible. Today has to be the day. I’ve been looking forward to it for so long because you two are a perfect match.”

Ivy winked and nudged Cali’s shoulder.

“Do you think it’s okay to just express my love outright?” Cali put on a thin layer of lipstick and stood up to change her clothes, looking as radiant as ever.

She didn’t need to wear her uniform actually, but she usually wear it because she wanted to abide by the rules. But she chose a dress today.

“Are there any good ways to express love though?”

“Everything I can think of just seems old-fashioned. I can’t really help you in all honesty. Why don’t you ask your best friend? She should have a lot of ideas.”

“She is very busy lately. Since she started working, we can only talk to each other once a week. She just graduated and has no connections, so she has to get all her news by herself. The editor is constantly shouting at her because she’s just an intern after all. If she can’t get big news, she won’t be able to become a regular employee,” Cali sighed.

“How miserable! Her life is actually worse than mine. I have a higher salary at the end of the day. Studying seems so useless. You may as well find a rich man to marry,” Ivy moaned, shaking her head.

Cali’s face froze for a moment. “People pursue different things. What she pursues is the fulfillment of her own value.”

“I see.” Ivy didn’t actually understand, but pretended to agree. Then she pushed Cali out with a smile. “Let’s go quickly. Your love can’t wait any longer.”

“I still don’t know how to tell him though. What do I do?”. Cali’s nerves skyrocketed as they smothered her body.
