Strange dream

"Hello, good morning!" Yeri greeted both Butler Hong and Shin Keir.

Shin nodded with an impassive face yet his eyes gleamed in admiration and dominance betraying his countenance.

Butler Hong was in awe, this wasn't just a beauty but a goddess!

It turns out his grumpy Young Master was only immune to mortal beauty but not against a goddess.

Last night, he had no idea what the lady looked like since she was asleep and covered with a coat while Shin Keir carried her straight to his room.

"Is the breakfast ready?" Shin impatiently asked.

"Leave it to me, Young Master!" Butler Hong gave a thumbs-up of approval and politely returned Yeri's 'good morning' before retreating to the kitchen.

"That Grandpa is so energetic," Yeri casually sat next to him, the thigh-high sleeve shirt rolled, displaying her long and slender legs.

Yeri was already as white as snow even more so when wearing his white sleeve shirt.

'The most beautiful ghost...' Shin muttered in his heart.

Yeri looked around slightly disturbed that the guy covered in gold accessories and a blinding yellow costume would return, she didn't want to get acquainted with such a person.

Calling her a ghost, there must be something wrong with his eyesight!

In addition, the way he talked to Shin Keir was rude and whiny, even mentioned his grandpa, just how old is he?

"Something?" Shin noticed her roaming gaze.

"That guy who called me a ghost, he left? Who is he?" Yeri inquired.

Shin lightly frowned, a little displeased. "Why do you want to know, just think it was a passing ghost."

"You're not angry he was so rude to you?" Sitting next to him, Yeri couldn't help but admire his handsome side profile.

It looked like every part of his face was precisely measured by a ruler, every angle and axis equating to an unmatched and devastatingly handsome face.

Shin bent his lips and slightly tilted his head, "Are you upset that he treated me like that?"

'You have a bright imagination!' Yeri rolled her eyes, really a waste of his handsome face.

Does no one care about him, so addicted to misinterpreting her thoughts or he's just shameless?

"Think whatever you want, by the way, who changed my clothes?"

This time, Shin's self-satisfied smile froze as his eyes shifted back to the document he was holding. "I don't have any female attendant...don't worry, you were covered with a blanket when I changed your clothes."

'Heh~ it was really inconvenient for you!' Yeri sneered inwardly, this dog villain really has a split personality.

Who was the person who chased her like a fugitive last night? Then hours later he turned into an affectionate boyfriend?

"Young Master Keir didn't mind me sleeping on his bed?" Yeri meaningfully asked.

Speaking of sleeping, Shin recalled his struggle while helping her change since it was something he had never done before, the weak light coming from the night lamp wasn't helping so he ended up unintentionally touching her here and there.

Honestly, Shin began to question his self-restraint when his body temperature rose higher and his throat dried just from touching her.

After a cold shower, he dared not stay longer in his room and went to sleep in his study.

Shin cleared his throat and said in a low and husky voice, "My girlfriend, I don't mind."

"Oh, surprisingly Young Master Keir knows how to spoil a woman." Yeri arched an eyebrow.

"Not any other woman just you, why do I think you have a bad impression of me?" Shin threw her a suspecting look.

Yeri's mouth twitched, doesn't he know of his reputation outside?

The man that everyone thought to be a misogynist actually lent her his shirt and even let her sleep on his bed on their second meeting, he trusts her that much?

Seriously, where did his blind trust come from? Is he not afraid of the so-called beauty trap?

Yeri doesn't want complicated assumptions, she reckoned he had hidden motives to treat her well but if he wouldn't say it then she wouldn't bother either.

While she was considering what to say, Butler Hong informed them that breakfast was ready.

Yeri immediately stood up and cheered, "Let's eat! To be honest I'm hungry so I won't be polite to you this time."

"You don't have to..." Shin also stood up and patted her head.

The sumptuous breakfast table has fresh fruits and salad, porridge, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, toast, fried rice, miso soup, quail eggs, etc...

Looking at the full table, Yeri unconsciously swallowed feeling she was in a buffet restaurant.

Are there other people joining them?

Shin also frowned, he rarely eats at home, and whenever he had the time he would simply have egg tartine and black coffee. "Is there something you want to eat? Also, tell me if there's any you can't eat."

Yeri shook her head and took a bowl of fried rice, some bacon, and scrambled eggs.

"Don't overeat..." Shin reminded, looking at her burdened expression.

"You're not eating?" Yeri watched him drink a bowl of miso soup and soon Butler Hong came with a cup of black coffee.

"Hmm, I prefer brunch." Shin caught her slightly bulging cheek and couldn't help but chuckle. "What do you often like to eat in the morning?"

Yeri pondered for a second and answered, "At home, I like seafood fried rice with some eggs and soup, and at school, sandwich or pancakes with hot cappuccino."

Shin sipped his coffee while taking a mental note of what she said, there seemed to be nothing wrong but considering her weak physique buying unhealthy take-outs shouldn't be often.

"Black coffee and egg tartine..."

"?" Yeri glanced at him, puzzled, could it be his favorite breakfast?

Surprisingly, a billionaire like him doesn't prefer caviars or wagyu with gold flakes.

While the two were eating, a certain old man was happily spying on a corner, rubbing his hands in elation.

Such a harmonious picture, it would be even better to add a little young master to this picture soon!

On the other hand, Yeri who was unaware of Butler Hong's terrifying thoughts just finished her fried rice and moved to try the porridge.

Shin just sat there reading company documents while occasionally peeking at her enjoying the food with graceful movement.

After breakfast, Yeri strode back to Shin Keir's room thinking of taking a bath, on her way she caught sight of a breathtaking view from the widely open backyard.

It was no ordinary rose garden, from pots, shrubs, climbing arches, labyrinth...what a gorgeous landscape of red roses!

This...

Yeri fell into a daze feeling impressed and tangled, she really didn't expect the dog villain to have such a beautifully cultivated red rose garden.

However, such an aesthetic was a great contrast to her image of Shin Keir or perhaps it wasn't just her, anyone would probably agree this doesn't match his temperament.

At a short distance, Shin stood behind with his arms folded looking impassive and completely out of place.

Unbeknownst to Yeri, the story of the red rose garden has nothing to do with its symbolic flower language of love or romance.

When the estate was recently built, Butler Hong thought the huge grassland area was dull and bleak so he suggested a landscape garden.

At that time, Tristan and Saeki would often come over appearing like thieves, out of annoyance, Shin mentioned in passing that a red landscape would be better so he could bleed the two without much trouble.

In the blink of an eye, the dull grassland turned into a beautiful red rose garden, and with the expertise of the professional gardeners and Butler Hong's dedication the garden expanded to what it is now.

A cool breeze waved hello, gently blowing Yeri's hair and shirt and the unrestrained red rose petals enchantingly danced in the air.

It was this scenery that suddenly jogged Shin Keir's memory of a strange dream last night...

He was walking in a dense forest, the towering trees were thick and domineering you couldn't see the top and it was impossible to tell if it was day or night, the ground was covered with moss and the vast surroundings were eerily quiet.

After an unknown time, the scenery changes ahead, and exists a bizarre forest dyed in red, from the tree trunks and its leaves, flowers, and plants.

Shin felt seemingly possessed and he found himself entering the red forest, there was an uncanny yet familiar feeling of being watched and his heart pounded madly.

As he wandered, his pace quickened till his vision captured a marvelous red flower tree, standing by the tree was a woman in a flowing red dress and long silver hair with her stunning back turned.

The woman must have long known his presence as she unhurriedly turned around, unexpectedly, it was Yeri?!

No, she was some points different from Yeri with her wavy silver hair, bewitching blood-red lips, ruby-red eyes, a bit taller, mature with a regal bearing.

The woman acted surprised, tilted her head, and smiled sweetly yet those pair of deceitful jewel-red eyes were devoid of any emotion, empty like a doll.

Instantly, Shin felt unprecedented remorse, hatred, and loss.
