My Stubborn Mistress 122 What Truth?

Greenhouse, Crow Mansion

Cassie is currently reading a book in the hammock with Knight as this dog still attached and won't leave her alone.

"Are you always being like this?" she asked him and Knight just glances at her, then close his eyes again.

She continues reading when Daichi came in with the two housemaids carrying a tray of food for lunch.

"Missy, let's eat now!" Daichi announced enthusiastically.

Cassie looks up, "Okay, brother Daichi..." she replied and put down the book. "Knight, come on..." Cassie let the dog jump out from the hammock before she steps down from it.

"Knight, come here, boy!" Daichi called the old dog. "Hey, what's the matter with you? Hmm? Are you okay?" he asked the lonely dog and he just whining at him. Daichi avoids saying more things to the dog when Cassie is around. He knew why the dog is acting like this. Daichi petted him then encouraged the oldest dog to join the others whose being naughty around.

"Hi, guys. I made some coleslaw salad and creamy carbonara," Riley stated.

"Hey, why do I felt like... you were teaching Missy how to do a diet to stay slender... she must eat a lot of meat and all the dishes!" Daichi complains.

"What are you talking about? Why do you want Cassie to gets fat?" Riley answered.

Cassie just watches the couples and was amused by how they argue over small things like, what food they must feed their daughter.

"Don't worry sister Riley, brother Daichi, I will eat all of them!"

"Yes, Missy! It's not bad to eat meat and more carbs... hmm?" he felt like the winner here.

"Okay, brother Daichi..." she smiled widely. Riley rolled her eyes, wants to protest but she speaks up.

"Don't worry sister Riley, I would only get a little fat from eating any dishes," she consoles her. She thinks the couple is cute having this small disagreement.

Ah... she misses Shun. She wonders if he is eating right now and did not miss any meals. Oh, they have a different timezone, Shun is in Hawaii right now. Cassie thoughts and realized.

After lunch, Anna came to the mansion with David. Riley brought Cassie and Anna to the Tea Room and them excitedly on viewing Anna's wedding gown samples on her Tab.

They also check out the bridesmaid's dresses, they found cute ones and sexy ones. In the end, Riley decided on a sunset beach wedding ceremony. Blaire and Jean arrive to join them, then later, Michelle came with Karl.

The girls excitedly do the planning from the dresses, the motif, and themes, then the foods to souvenirs.

While the girls having fun in the Tea Room, their husbands seriously having a meeting in the Library, discussing what they must do when the whole truth finally exposes to the world. However, their concern also is what they better to do if Shun won't wake up yet in a few days.

How they gonna tell Cassie about why he still not coming back...

"What reason we should tell her why Shun cannot come home yet?" Meisha asked the other men.

"We can't make an excuse forever."

"Right. We have to think about what we should tell her, for now..."

The three men continue discussing until they came up with an idea to use as an excuse to Cassie... Meisha sent a message to his wife to come to the Library for a moment to hear what they came up with.

"How long we could use it as an excuse if my brother won't wake up for days?"

"Then we should pray harder that he'll wake up sooner," Kier advised.

Blaire sighed, then calm herself to look fine for Cassie not to suspect anything.

"You're back, what is it?" Riley who asked Blaire. She already knows and she is just playing the act.

"Rudolf sent a message to informed us that they can't come back yet. The travel advisory canceling all the flights and will resume until the storm is gone," she told them.

They watched Cassie's reaction and sadness flash on her face but she forces herself to smile. As for they all knew what's going on, they try to occupy Cassie's attention to other things.

The women decided to bake some cake in the kitchen from Michelle's idea and they end up making four kinds of caked.

Blaire and Cassie choose to bake a moist cake, which Jean decided to make a carrot cake for how Kier a health conscious freak. Riley helps Jean to prepare the ingredients, then Michelle and Anna bake a caramelized cake and mocha flavored one.

For a while, Cassie forgot and enjoyed baking and thinking about Shun can have some of them if he will come home soon. After they finished baking them and allow the cake to cool down before the final touch, Cassie went to her bedroom.

She rested her back on the soft mattress and grab the pillow to hug, then another lonely night she has tonight. She thought.

Cassie notices the raindrops from her bedroom's balcony, she steps down on the bed to close the sliding door. She watches the sky like it was crying. Cassie went back to her bed and decided to send Levi a message.

Meanwhile, after exchanging messages with Cassie, Levi finds a way to contact neither one of Shun's directors, and it was Attorney Kier Lawrence he able to speak.

"What is going on here? What happened to President Crow?"

"Master Montfort, we are just informed that he is not waking up yet," Kier answered.

"Why?" Levi is confused if that could be possible.

"We are not fully knowledgable why this is happening, Master Montfort. This is not the first time though, but that was many years ago."

"His doctor said, his condition is fine and President Crow is just like sleeping. Also, all of his organs then his vital signs are responding well. There's no complication found either, it is just that he stays unconscious until now," Kier added.

"So, have to wait when he will going to wake up then?" Levi is very much astounded of what's happening.

"Yes, Master Montfort," Kier answered.

"Alright, thank you, Attorney Kier. Don't forget to update me about anything, especially Cassie. I learned that Julius Kang is on the move again."

"Understood, Master Levi. We're on it..." after the other line hangs up, Kier sighed. This guy is really acting like a King, huh. Just like his status, born as an aristocrat.

Another couple of days had passed and there is no Shun came home yet. During the rainy nights, Blaire stays to accompany her to her bedroom and during days, Riley began giving her few exercises about her college entrance exam.

On this way, her days are occupied and her loneliness copes up with other things to do.

The sixth day since Shun leaves for a business trip, at the moment, Cassie just finished their lesson in the evening when she received a call from Joanna. She hurried her to open the TV to watch the news tonight. Since her bedroom has no television, she tried to search the rooms if which one has a TV.

She remembers that the Tea Room on this floor has a hidden one. She studied the remote control for this room if which one of the buttons are for the cabinet to open.

After trying a few buttons, the TV finally came out. It was just like a wall opening in front of her and a huge one shows up. She searches for the button to turn on the TV and the next moment that happens what shocked her.

Meanwhile, Daichi runs from the kitchen towards the stairs. He quickly dialed Riley's number.

"What happens?" Riley answered.

"Where are you?!

"In our bedroom am watching the news on my laptop, why?"

"The Watch notified me that Cassie is currently watching the news!"

"What!? No!" Riley runs outside and follows Daichi to the Tea Room. Daichi tried to turn off the TV.

"No! Why did you all want to hide this to me!?" tears running down her face.
