My Husband Thought I Was Dead And Became A Tyrant!

Chapter 11

“Lift your head.”

Your low voice sounded so sweet.

No, it might’ve actually been cold.

But to me, I only heard gentleness and sweetness.

Since no matter how much time passed, this silver color belonged to you.

Holding in the tears that were on the verge of falling, I slowly raised my head.

In my memories, your pink eyes never had a focus.

However, they still had a bright and sparkly light to them.

I’d always thought that your pink eyes shone just as prettily as the legendary gem that was picked from the petals.

But seeing you after ten years had passed, your eyes were no longer those with no focus.

And… your pink eyes that were staring into mine no longer shone like they once did.

It’s too sad.

Seeing you like that, my heart ached so much.

I felt another wave of tears forming, but I managed to hold it in.

I didn’t want to have the reunion with my husband wearing a depressed and teary face.

Using all of my might, I made a smile by lifting the corners of my lips.

And just as I had practiced, I slowly moved my finger.

Originally, this was something I’d do while holding Hadel’s hand, but because that wasn’t realistic at the moment, I started tapping my fingers on the back of my own hand.

First, tapping twice with my index finger.

Lastly, tapping three times with my thumb.

sleep well?

There was a period when Hadel often couldn’t sleep well due to nightmares.

That’s why I occasionally read him fairy tales.

However, I couldn’t do that when I had a sore throat after I’d caught a cold.

That’s why I created this signal so that I could ask how Hadel had slept, and whether he had any nightmares during the night.

I’d thought about what I should tell him first.

When we were young, there were a lot of things we told each other using signals we made with our hands.

So I decided to ask what I was the most worried about.

Did you sleep well while I was gone?

Seeing my fingers, Hadel’s eyes widened largely as if they were going to pop out of his head.

Seeing how even his lips slightly parted, it seemed he was very surprised.

Blinking slowly, I took Hadel’s face in with my eyes.

When I’d last seen him ten years ago, he’d still had a boyish charm to him.

Now, he was a complete adult.

A face that I’d missed,

and yearned for so much.

As I wondered if the person in front of me was really Hadel, I found that tears were welling up in my eyes again.
