Five months ago, you've been sent to marry the youngest son of the Bennett family namely Elsher. He's a cold and unapproachable man. However, something within him seems in pain and every time you see him alone, as if his eyes conveys a painful memory he couldn't say out loud. A chapter of his life where he couldn't read aloud in front of people.
You hated him, why? Because he won't even join you at the dining room and will let you eat alone. He'd eat in his office most of the time and he won't allow anyone in. You thought that maybe it's because he hated you. You swore to yourself that you'll no longer try to convince him since he would only dismiss you with every invitation for him to eat with you anyway.
But little did you know that the garden was renovated not by the thoughts of the butler but by the thoughts of him since he saw you loving the roses? did you even know that he filled the library with books for you before you arrived? Did you even know that he cancelled all his meetings that time when you fell sick? And that he met you before.. and fell in love with you even before you got married?
He was waiting for you to remember, how you ran to the event place's garden and saw him starving. He was waiting for you to realize that he's the boy who you offered your last cookie, the boy you talked to. The boy who fell in love with you since then was him. And he was happy to have you, even when you don't remember it all.
One day, you were walking by his home office when you saw the door slightly open, you tried to peek only to see him eating fastly and sloppily. At first, you felt a little turned off but when you asked the butler why, he told you about his past.. and that he'd be starved by his grandfather as a way of disciplining when he's a child so his fast and sloppy eating was the result of those trauma.
