Chapter 853 – #97. Lanna (14)
“Your face is full of fatigue?”
“Still, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen your face, so it’s too much of a waste to fall asleep like this.”
“Okay. I won’t sleep right away, so go wash up.”
Her husband teases and soothes her.
If you see her often with her children, her words naturally change as if she were dealing with a child, but her husband was also showing it.
She laughed at the changed way of speaking and went in to wash up.
After washing up, her husband, who had good sense, was waiting for her with her wine and cheese and a candle lit to cheer her up.
“Wow~ When did you prepare this again?”
“It’s boring to stay still for three hours.”
If she had just slept, her husband wouldn’t have brought out the prize he had prepared.
Her pleasant seat continued as she looked down at the hotel view and recounted what had happened to her children in her absence.
By the time she was moderately drunk, she sat in her bed and dozed off without realizing it.
And when I woke up again
“Ah…”
The sun was beating down from the hotel window.
Was it a dream that my husband came here?
To her, what had happened last night felt like a dream.
“Honey?”
There was no sign of her husband by the bed, making it feel more like a dream.
However, the traces of wine left in her mouth were proving that it was not a dream.
That wasn’t the only evidence proving that her husband was here wasn’t a dream.
Nutritional supplements on the table, hippopotamus dolls by the bedside, and familiar pillows.
‘How long has it been since I woke up refreshed without a nightmare?’
The nightmare that started on the plane was soggy and persistent.
Helplessly, she started to ruin her body here and there, but when her husband appeared, the nightmare was so hot! And ran away in a hurry.
To be precise, things would help, though.
‘Those things that person brought were exceptionally good.’
It’s a new word, but when I think of the things he presents, it works amazingly well.
It is only natural that they should be famous if they are effective like this, but like all the brands, they were new to me and others seemed to know nothing about them.
I tried to search on the internet, but I couldn’t find any proper search results.
I thought it was strange, but I was amazed and didn’t wonder anymore, thinking that it must be a product that only rich people know and use.
But isn’t it really strange?
‘Shouldn’t I make money by selling a product that works so well?’
No matter how high-end the business is, there are not one or two products that people would have bought even if they paid a lot of money if there was a sales route.
However, no matter how much I personally tried to find these products, I could not come across them.
This time, I forgot to bring nutritional supplements, so I tried to get them separately, but after realizing that there was no way to get them, I thought of doing it again.
One pill a day.
If you simply take it, no matter how tired you work, you can live your life the next day without fatigue.
What does that mean?
“Why didn’t you notice that it was strange?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Ah! You were there? I thought you left without saying hello because there was no sign.”
“I’ve been talking on the phone for a while.”
“Are you kids?”
“Yes. The kids asked me if I had a good meeting with my mother and if I had delivered the presents well.”
“You shouldn’t have woken me up.”
“How do you wake someone who is sleeping soundly?”
Is it because you take nutritional supplements? Or is it because I slept soundly without nightmares?
After coming on a business trip, today was the best condition.
“Thanks to that, I slept really well. I don’t know how long it’s been since I felt so refreshed.”
“I’m having a hard time buying it for no reason. Is it that hard to tell my family that it’s hard when it’s hard?”
“Rather than being difficult, I thought I could overcome it on my own. I can’t be taken care of by you forever.”
“Is it a burden for me to take care of you?”
“It’s not a burden, it’s a pity. I want to become a person who takes care of my husband, not being taken care of by him.”
“Ah…!”
I was about to say something, but it reminded me of a nightmare, so I honestly said what I had in mind.
‘Hiding your inner feelings is something you’ve done enough while having nightmares. How long are you going to be trapped in a nightmare?’
As I started having nightmares again this time, I thought about many things.
Starting from the root cause of why he has such nightmares repeatedly, he thought about what he should do to stop having nightmares.
‘Even when I was in a car accident, I tried to actively change things. So in the end, good results came out.’
Because I hired a driver, I was able to not lose anything precious even if I got into a car accident.
If you were driving, then the car accident could have been very serious.
My husband said it was just a dream, but there was no need to take it too seriously…
She believed that her actions had prevented a major accident.
‘Because that’s not what you want. No, I thought I shouldn’t just ignore it.’
So she thought that this nightmare might be a warning that she should change her behavior and not just ignore it.
And it was the same this time too.
‘You can’t act like in a dream.’
The only good thing about having her nightmares was, ‘Never act like that.’ She’s got the idea to do.
It was as if her dream had warned of it.
It was a bad habit in their relationship to not say what was inside her even though she still loved her husband.
‘Let’s fix it.’
And she had just taken her first difficult step.
By honestly saying that she wants to protect him rather than being protected by him.
“I didn’t know you were thinking that way. I was so careless.”
The husband immediately apologized as if he had a great understanding of her words.
“I didn’t mean to ask for an apology. Thanks to what you brought, I was able to wake up in good shape today. I guess I’m still a long way from growing up.”
“I depend on you a lot too. How easy is it to raise children while running a company?
The nanny took good care of the children in the morning and afternoon, so she was able to balance work and childcare herself.
“You’re the one who brought the nanny. Because the nanny is so talented, it’s possible for me to raise children while working.”
“When I go on a business trip, I can’t come home for days. But you always take care of the kids alone after work.”
“Is that what I’m supposed to do?”
Parenting is natural for women.
Most of the normal men didn’t care about childcare and lived their lives doing what they liked.
Leave childcare to men?
‘It’s a crazy bitch, that’s it.’
It is also an act that a man has nothing to say even if he leaves for another woman.
In that respect, it was very rare for her husband to help with childrearing, so it was almost non-existent.
Her friends once fiercely envied her, telling her that she must have saved her country in her previous life.
And her husband, far from normal, said something that made the back of her head and the tip of her nose tingle.
“Did you give birth to your child alone?”
“…!!”
“Parenting is a common responsibility.”
What kind of man would say such a thing?
She was truly blessed.
Nightmare?
‘I can earn as much as I want.’
If you think that it is not just a nightmare that haunts her, but a dream that warns her not to let go of this person, you can no longer think of it as a nightmare.
‘Yes, it’s not a nightmare, it’s a warning dream!’
I couldn’t send such a perfect husband to another woman with my own hands.
“Honey. I’ll tell the kids, so why don’t you stay one more day?”
She said, interrupting her husband, who was giving her one-day speech, that she was going on her business trip, do you believe her?
The husband seemed to think her words were surprising, so he opened her eyes wide, paused for a moment, and blinked her eyes.
“One more day?”
“Yes.”
“Uh…Then would that be?”
“Thank you. I’ll take a day off tomorrow too.”
This is a request she would never have made if it had been her usual self.
But while she was on a business trip, she suffered from nightmares and was determined to solve this nightmare on her own.
And all it takes to solve that nightmare…
‘It’s probably the third, right?’
Her husband also talked about the third, half jokingly and half seriously.
At that time, she was worried about her company at the end of the third.
This is because she was reluctant to influence the company, which is growing rapidly with its reputation overseas, due to her pregnancy.
However, after she had been abroad with her staff this time and worked together, that anxiety disappeared.
‘There are still parts of me that are insecure…But I’m adapting faster than I thought and doing my job well.’
Is it because the times we worked hard together piled up?
Employees who seemed a little lost in the beginning were making great progress in a very short time.
You may feel intimidated by coming to an unfamiliar place, but it felt good to see you fighting while holding your head high and confidently pushing for the requirements.
‘I became convinced that I am the one who doesn’t have to do all the work.’
They are smart people from the beginning.
If you teach them how to do it, they are friends who do what they expect.
The only thing they were confused about was that they needed time to adapt.
I myself had a hard time adapting to living abroad, but I couldn’t admit that it was the same for other people.
In a way, it was narrow.
‘I gained enlightenment from a strange part.’
Anyway.
As she decided to trust the staff and entrust the work, she naturally thought of the third child.
Her husband hopes, and she has changed her mind, so shouldn’t she get her star to make her third?
She’s a big fan of children, so when she heard she was having her third, she was the kind of person who would dance around.
“Then, are you going on a date and sightseeing tomorrow?”
“Because employees need a break too.
“Oops, I shouldn’t have taken care of Lanna-san, but I should have taken care of the staff as well. I didn’t have a sense.”
“It’s not even a penny or two. And I’ll take care of the staff myself. So you don’t have to worry.”
After working hard, employees need a day off.
While suffering from nightmares, I had no thought of taking a break, only thinking that I had to go home as soon as possible.
‘She’s so glad he’s here.’
Employees wouldn’t be able to show that they wanted to take a break in front of the CEO, so they would have lived buried in paperwork until the business trip was over.
Even if you realize it belatedly, time will never come back.
You don’t know how happy I am that I realized it even now.
After sleeping comfortably without having nightmares, my mind was clear and my thoughts were organized rationally.
