I Was Married To A Man Half Woman: My Past Life's Unrequited Love

she came to the shop for business purpose only but they didn't know the closeness between the old couple and Morse family was.

I think perhaps it is not that bad to live here with them,remembering those gentle smiles gave warmth to her freezing heart. She said to herself "i will definitely think about it, i will carefully decide if staying with them will only bring them burden"

Thinking about her happiness and the possible burden she will gave the old couple puts her into a dilemma.

As she was eating the old couple cant help but glance at her. Analyzing if she had any physical issues because as everyone knows she was an hard working child at such a young age to top it all she was hunting that normally only man at age of twenty above could do. She was still fifteen and a girl of all.

If one is to ask, "is she the only person going in the forest?"

"Is she alone?"

"How is it possible for her to stay alive?."

The old couple cant help but shiver.. What if one day she was killed?

What if they lost her too?. Many what ifs comes to mind.

All they could do is pray and see her everyday to confirm she is alive and well. Without talking the couple look at each other as if reading each others mind. With a bitter smile on their faces, they hope to not see the girl hurt. They will do everything to coax the little girl to live with them.

"before you go, you should bring this with you, its not that much but is enough for a week" old man Zion said

"not only that, wear this, it will soon be winter. Its better to be prepared than wait for yourself to get sick" old woman Hale said to her warmly.

She knows the intentions of the couple, she knew that they were looking at her intently from the very start. She knew that they were checking her whether she had wounds on her body or if she was still mentally strong or if they can still see her without so much scratch. She knew how much they care. Without her knowing she gave a gentle nod, her face show an even more gentleness than before. Her eyes that shows how thankful her heart was. Her lips that curves into an enchanting arc.

The couples then knew from seeing those small changes, that their little child Aly Morse was growing strong, beautiful and gentle. Many may say how cold she was but for them, it is all the opposite because the little girl is good at hiding her feelings.To protect herself she will not let anyone see her weak and gentle side.

They bid a farewell, and as expected not accepting any defeat old woman Hale reminded her to think about their offer. Looking at her left side avoiding their gentle gaze that melt her heart coupled with embarrassment , she nod not knowing whether she should cry or laugh at the couples obvious coaxing. An offer where she had no choice but to comply.

The little girl disappearing from their sight, the old couple cant help but giggle.. they new that the little girl has a kind heart so they were expecting a positive answer. They had given her an offer that they shamelessly proud of. A one sided offer hehe.. o//_//O

Looking at the direction she went to, the old woman said "is this ok?"

Caught offguard "what do you mean?" ask old man Zion

"i mean her living by herself alone, is it ok no to escort her back home?"

"don't worry about that, she is a strong girl.."

narrowing her eyes she said "hey..aren't you worried?" she look at his husband quite displeased.

oiii... don't look at me like that... wanting to cry but no tears to shed "of course i am! Im not not bad..just that..i don't want her to feel that we are limiting her"

as if she heard a good reason acceptable enough to concede, she smiled to his husband "you have a point.."

in old Zions mind "i'm glad that sometimes i am quite witted or else my wife will scold me for no reason.. T_T i cant fight back and even if i did.. i always lose so better accept the scolding than be scolded for more.."

noticing her husbands silence she said "lets get inside".."you..why are you sweating?"

"huh?..oh this, maybe because we have been waiting here" he quickly wipe the sweat on his face

"ohh really..?" looking at her husband who felt wronged,she chuckled. She really like the expressions of his husband whenever he couldn't fight back in an argument. She knew that he is not good at it so she purposely provoke and often times teases him.
