A Husband For Killer Mom

“What happens?”

“Nothing.” Harmonie shook her head while hiding her face in front of Andrew’s chest.

“You can’t be limp because I kissed you, right?” Andrew felt the fabric of his clothes wrinkle even more as he finished his question. “Moni, why are you acting like this is your first kiss?”

Well, this wasn’t their first kiss considering that Andrew stole Harmonie’s first kiss when she was a teenager. But that doesn’t mean the girl hasn’t kissed a guy since she was an adult, right? Especially when Harmonie had been engaged to her ex-fiance for more than two years.

What sane man could resist his instincts not to kiss a beautiful, shining girl like Harmonie? Not to mention, Andrew knew that Gerald adored Harmonie, and the thought of Harmonie’s figure being hugged and kissed by a man other than himself made him insanely jealous, and he wanted to scream to the world that Harmonie was his.

“This…”

Andrew heard Harmonie say something, but her voice was so small as if there was no sound, that he couldn’t hear her. “What? Are you saying something?”

“This is my first kiss,” whispered Harmonie without showing her face and still hiding in front of the man’s chest. On the other hand, Andrew was rooted to where he stood when he heard a whisper from the girl.

.....

“That’s impossible. Did Gerarld never kiss you?” ugh! Why did he even ask? He wouldn’t be able to contain his jealousy if he heard an answer he didn’t like.

“He tried, but I refused.”

Somehow the answer just now made Andrew flowery; at the same time, he felt sorry for this girl’s ex-fiancé. It was all his fault. He told her to try seeing another man―he told Harmonie to fall in love with another man without him knowing that their relationship continued until the girl accepted her lover’s proposal.

When Andrew heard that Harmonie was engaged, Andrew thought that he had lost, and now they could go back to how they used to be. He always felt jealous whenever he imagined Harmonie being hugged by another man―Andrew was green in envy of Gerald for being able to taste the sweet taste on Harmonie’s lips whenever that man wanted.

But Andrew managed to control his jealousy―he managed to act as usual whenever the Calvins visited this Heinest residence. But who would have thought? After he had almost managed to bury his feelings deep down for the past four years, he would instead hear the news that Harmonie had broken up with his fiancé.

And what’s even more surprising... Harmoni always refused Gerald, who wanted to kiss her. Oh, could he be happier than this? Andrew tightened his embrace and smelled the fresh scent of Harmonie’s hair.

“I’m sorry I’m late. I love you, Harmonie Calvin―as a man.”

Andrew couldn’t see Harmonie’s expression because the girl still refused to see him and hid her face. But Andrew knew the girl accepted him when he felt two small hands go down and wrap around his waist to return the hug.

“I love you too, Andrew―as a woman.”

If only Andrew’s smile could be wider than it is now, maybe he would. Luckily, he spoke directly to Stanley for that older man’s blessing. At that time, he was too young and did not understand why Stanley threatened him so cruelly. But after he got older, he started understanding why Stanley bullied him.

Stanley didn’t want his only daughter to be involved in an uncertain romance because he was green. Now Harmonie was no longer a child, and the girl had the right to determine who she would choose to be with her.

That’s why Andrew approached Stanley, wanting to know what the man would think of his daughter if he courted her.

(Flashback)

Andrew invited Stanley to the reading room and offered the man a drink. Stanley accepted and took a delicious sip of the Earl Gray tea the nobles love most.

“So, what do you want to talk about?”

“I decided to court Harmonie as a man.”

“…” Stanley gave a crooked smile when he heard a firm voice in the young man. “I thought you’d never say that.”

“Uncle?”

“You don’t need to ask my permission.”

“I’m not asking permission.”

“Then?”

“I just want to let you know so you won’t be surprised.”

Stanley snorted while rolling his eyes at the confident tone of the eldest son of Leonard Heinest. This young man was no longer an innocent teenager―his daughter was no longer a child who could always control her strength as a Gale Master.

Both of them were adults, and if they still harbored feelings for each other even though time had passed long enough, Stanley had no reason to prevent the young man from approaching his daughter.

“Whatever. Even if you didn’t tell me, I already know what you’re thinking. But don’t be too confident my boys will accept you.” Stanley finished his tea and placed his cup on the long table before leaving. “Ah, one more thing. I won’t let you off if you make her cry.”

Andrew smiled broadly at that. “I won’t.”

From his conversation with Stanley, Andrew knew that the man’s threats when he was so young were just bluffs. The man didn’t destroy his father’s business. Instead, Stanley helped his father and asked him to build a robotics business together.

That is why Leonard and Andrew own the robotics company based in this city.

(flashback end)

After spending nearly an hour hugging each other while gazing at the soul-refreshing morning view, Andrew brought Harmonie back to the residence for breakfast with their families.

Because their two feelings had now connected, Harmonie was more sensitive when she sat in front of Andrew’s broad chest, the two arms flanked her waist, and the breath when the man spoke next to her ear―it would make her insane!

“Moni, you are too tense.”

“Whose fault is it? You’ve never acted like this before.”

Andrew laughed, then reined in the reins with one hand while his other wrapped around Harmonie’s belly to pull her closer to him.

“Don’t worry. I will be like this to you from now on. So you have to get used to it.”

!? Harmonie never knew that Andrew had such a passionate side.
