"Hmm, let's say...It's still an arrange marriage, would you want to file a divorce if you're not a Charlotte?"

It took you few seconds on that question until you are sure to yourself on what to answer.

"No." The answer came out with confidence.

"Why?" Cavendish is a little confused.

"Because... no matter how angry he is, he never raised a hand on me or even try to. When he's angry, it never scared me away. I know people says he's scary but to me, it's never been that way."

The law and written agreement might be protecting you but there's only you and Kid inside the house. No one will ever know if he hits you or not. Kid had a lot of chance to hurt you even just a little but he never did. Despite the non stop argument or disagreement from time to time, he never tried to hit you or harm you in any way. Kid is really annoying but never scary even if he rarely smile. It only felt like having a giant grumpy child in your home.

"What if he cheats?"

Cavendish's question rang like a bell that is too loud to hurt an ear.

"That's...his choice if he cheats and it's my choice to remain loyal to our marriage despite the lack of feelings." You admitted it without admitting it to your own close friends.

Cavendish accepted your answer with a smile as he drinks without removing his gaze on you. He sets his glass on the table and pats your shoulders.

"You're strong, I like that."

"Silly" You gave out a small laugh.

You checked your watch and it is already 9:00 pm. Both of you agreed to call it a night. The gentleman paid for everything as he guided you to exit the place.

"Thank you for the time." He smiled.

"Thank you too for the drinks and company, Cavendish. You're a good friend."

"Anytime, just take care always." He smiled gracefully, giving you a last kiss on the knuckles. It didn't make feel uncomfortable like the first time, you got used to it believing this is just his kind gesture and nothing more.

Before he can let go of your hand, a loud beep from a familiar car across the road caught everyone's attention. You furrowed your brows, trying to see if you're right as you slowly pulled your hand from Cavendish. The tinted window rolled down, showing a familiar scowl that you see almost everyday.

"Kid." You were surprised from his sudden appearance.

"What a surprise, Kid" Cavendish greeted while grinning. Kid didn't say anything while one male went out of his car from the back seat. He crossed the streets and headed to your direction.

"Good evening, mrs. Eustass. I'm here to get your keys to drive your car. Master said you'll be going home with him." He said.

"Oh, okay." You gave your key then said bye to Cavendish. He watched you cross the street as you entered the back seat. He laughed a little while watching Kid complain on why you sat on the back. You talked back to your husband but went to sit in the passenger seat. You were just about to put the seatbelts on but Kid did it himself, causing him to be so close to you but his eyes were on Cavendish.

"Yo, Blondie. Better not cross the line, you might cross the after life." Kid said. He didn't sound annoyed or angry but not friendly either considering his statement.

"I ain't, red head. A lot of ladies will be in despair if I do that." Cavendish chuckled as he was amused by his friend.

"Whatever, later."

Cavendish watched the car leaving until it is out of his sight. As he headed to his car, his phone rang.

"The lovely lady went home already with her husband." He said without greeting the person on the other line.

"Cavendish, I think you are forgetting your place?" the other person spoke with pure irritation.

"I think I'm not." He smirked confidently.

"Oh come on, the red head is a shot-tempered man. Once you get on his nerves, you're done. I'm telling you, DONE!"

"We've been doing this for like...how many times already. I know what I'm doing."

Another shuffle can be heard from the other line until another person spoke on the phone.

"You better, Cavendish. I don't want to deal with the Charlotte's too if you fuck up."

"Oh come on, you're all overthinking it." Cavendish laughed.
