Chapter 0

A rose under the care of the earth.

“Mr. Thipakorn, since we are people of the same region and have known
each other since the time of our fathers, I hope you will have no objection
to my coming as a representative to ask for the hand of your daughter
Rose for my son, Wasu.”

“I have already explained this clearly to Mr. Wasupon: this matter must
depend on my daughter’s decision.”

“Does that mean you’re going to refuse?”

“Yes, if that is Rose’s wish, I will not oppose it. But the fact is that my
daughter and your son have not yet met or had the opportunity to learn
anything about each other. To tie today’s young people to a promise
made by their parents in our generation, I think that is an exaggeration.”

Thipakorn answered the visitor, Wasupon, firmly in his decision. As the

owner of the Chomchan flower farm and as the father of his
only beloved daughter, Tippapha, he would not give in easily.
It was true that the two families had maintained a close friendship since
the days of their fathers, who had pioneered and brought progress to the
region. But giving his daughter to Wasupon's son was something that
Thipakorn was completely opposed to.

“I don’t think we should fall out or create animosity in our old

age over a broken promise, Mr. Thipakorn. Wasu has a bright
future and a steady job, and I have only one son, who will take over
the tea farm business.

Nabanan. Our farms are neighboring, and it is only fitting that our
children come together as one solid family.”

“Sorry, Mr. Wasupon, but no matter how many times you come to
negotiate about this, my answer will not change.”

As long as he was still alive and breathing, Thipakorn swore to do

everything he could to protect his daughter. He would never allow
Amornjinda to end up alongside Mahatthanakorn.

"So, Dad, did that old man give in and agree to give Rose to me
today?" "That Thip is so stubborn that he'll probably never hand his
daughter over to you so easily."

"He doesn't want to sell the land, he doesn't want to hand over his daughter...
How long will that old man keep this up? Or is he trying to dodge the deal
and not keep it?"

Wasu swore in a harsh voice, clearly angry at not getting what he

wanted. As the only son of Wasupon, the owner of the Nabanan tea estate,
he was the heir to everything: properties, businesses, and the hidden
enterprises that the Mahatthanakorn family maintained
under the guise of local benefactors.

"Those few dozen acres of his land are getting in the way of our plans.
If we can't use the land as a passage, things will get even more complicated
in the future."

"Leave it to me, Dad. That worthless, insignificant old flower

farm owner... I'll teach him to stop being stubborn."

"Do you have a plan yet, Wasu? Do whatever you want, but
don't bring trouble to me."
"Trust me, Father. I have a way to get the land you want for
ourselves. And I'll also take his daughter as my wife. One
shot, two targets: land and wife. It's a great
deal!"

"Mrs. Din, excuse me."

"Between."

"There is a visitor to see you, Madam Din."

"Who would come to see me at this hour?"

"It's Lord Thipakorn."

"Mr. Thip? Tell him to wait in the living room.

I'll be right there."

Kasama gave the order to her trusted assistant, who

worked with her at Saenrak Farm, before looking away
and putting down the financial documents she was reviewing.
The fresh-faced woman paused her computer screen and rose
gracefully, heading for the living room. She was confused
and could not fathom the reason for Thipakorn’s
unexpected visit, especially so late and without prior
notice or phone call.

"Good evening, Mr. Thip."

Page 4 of 413

"Sorry for showing up so late."

"Do you have something urgent to attend to?"

"Din, I'm worried."

"It must be something related to the Nabanan Tea Farm."

From what she knew of Mr. Thipakorn, there were few things
that made him so worried. One of them was the Mahatthanakorn
family, the owners of the tea estate that occupied nearly a
hundred acres of land. They were known for abusing their power,
acting above the law, and for the many dirty stories she had heard
over the years.

"Yes. Today Wasupon came to me again to talk about Rose.

He tried to negotiate, but I refused as always."

"If Mr. Thip continues his steadfastness, they will eventually

give up and lose interest."

"But this time I don't think they will back down easily.
I know Wasupon has his eye on my land because it is valuable
to his business. And Wasupon, in turn, wants to win my daughter,
just as he has done with so many other women. He hurts them
emotionally and then discards them. I don't want Rose to suffer the
same fate."
"..."

"Din, can you promise me something?"

"What does Mr. Thip want me to promise?"

Kasama snapped out of his thoughts, which he had lost

himself in upon hearing Mr.
Thipakorn about the problems she was facing. She knew she
could not say with full confidence that the

Page 5 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Saenrak farm was completely immune to these problems.

The lands of the three farms were interconnected: starting with

the Nabanan Tea Farm of the Mahatthanakorn family, which owned
the largest area; followed by the Chomchan Flower Farm of the
Amornjinda family; and finally the Saenrak Farm of the Watinwanich
family, which was also a large property connected to the Chomchan
Farm. The three farms had close relations since the time of their
grandparents.

Wasu, who was the same age as Kasama and an old friend of hers, and
Rose, whom she had known when they were younger, were also part of
this story.
But so much time had passed that Kasama could barely
remember them. After Mr. Thipakorn decided to send Rose to
study abroad and she began living there, news about the young girl came
only through conversations with adults. And since Mr. Thipakorn
usually visited his daughter instead of bringing her back, direct contact
had been lost. Even if they met now, they probably wouldn’t recognize each
other.

"If something ever happens to me, Din, please protect Rose."

"Mr. Thip!"

"Besides your father, Kasidit, I don't trust anyone else but you now."

"Don't say that, Mr. Thip. I would never let something terrible happen to
anyone again. You are the one who should protect and care for Rose."

Page 6 of 413

"Nothing in this world is eternal or certain."

"But..."

"Din, don't abandon Rose."

“...”

How could he trust the most important thing in his life to someone who had
never managed to protect what was precious in his own life?

Mr. Thipakorn, don't you think you are trusting the wrong person?

"Ah, Mrs. Din, where are you going? Do you want me to drive for you?"

"No need, Kaew. I'll drive myself."

"It's late. Are you going alone?"

Kasama did not respond to the question posed by her assistant, who
questioned her in surprise. She had been in a hurry ever since she
had parted ways with Thipakorn less than ten minutes ago. He
had taken his leave after finishing discussing an important matter,
leaving her alone to ponder everything, even though she was still
confused.
But his words stayed in her mind, causing her to feel uneasy. That
was why Kasama decided to drive after him, leaving Saenrak Farm.

"What was that noise? Was it an accident?"

Page 7 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

With a tense face, Kasama pressed down on the accelerator to increase

speed. She had heard the sound of a sudden brake followed by a loud
impact as she drove on the road connecting Saenrak Farm to Chomchan
Flower Farm. Soon, she spotted a car that looked familiar, the same one
that had left the farm just a few minutes earlier.

Mr Thipakorn’s car had been involved in an accident, overturning before

colliding with a large tree on the side of the road. The driver died at the scene,
while Mr Thipakorn was seriously injured, breathing poorly and
on the verge of losing consciousness. There were cuts on his face and
body from the flying glass, and fresh blood was pouring from his head,
which had been hit hard. Quickly assessing him, Kasama realised that
he was in critical condition and needed to be rushed to hospital to
save his life.

"Mr. Thip! You're going to be fine!"

Her voice was shaking with tension, and she could barely breathe.
With trembling fingers, Kasama called the hospital to request an
ambulance as soon as possible. Then she would also have to notify
the police so they could collect evidence from the scene, as she
suspected that this was not just an accident. It seemed to be a
deliberate act by someone who sought to benefit from eliminating
Thipakorn.

"Di...n."

"Don't say anything now. Please hold on, Mr. Thip. The ambulance is
on its way."

"Rose..."

Page 8 of 413

"Don't worry, Mr. Thip. I won't abandon Rose. I promise!"

I promise to protect you with all my strength...

“Rose, stop for a bit and come eat, how about it?”

“Just this last bouquet, just a moment, Aunt Laura.”

The pretty-faced woman smiled pleadingly at Aunt Laura, who insisted that
she put down the bouquet of flowers she had been arranging with such
care and dedication. Rose wanted it to be perfect, worthy of the
trust that customers placed in the small flower shop. Although it was
only a small shop compared to the larger ones in the city, the attention to
detail and care that went into each bouquet, meticulously choosing the
flowers until everything was perfect, kept loyal customers coming back.

“You’re so dedicated, I don’t know if I have a bonus to pay you.”

“I don’t want a bonus, Aunt Laura. You already take such good care of me.”

“Speaking like that, Rose will have to stay with me here for a long time! I
don’t care, I won’t let your father steal my niece back.”

Tippapha looked at Aunt Laura, who was her mother’s older sister. Since
her mother passed away a few years ago, Aunt Laura had become both
an aunt and a second mother to her. As for her father, who had just been
mentioned,

Page 9 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

he continued to help her financially and visit her frequently

in the United States.
Rose's father was Thipakorn, the owner of Chomchan Flower
Farm, a medium-sized farm located in northern Thailand, in the
Chiang Rai province. This was where the entire family lived
together before she and her mother moved to the United
States so that Rose could continue her education and her mother
could take care of her.
In fact, part of the reason she had loved beautiful flowers
since she was little was because of the farm, which had a
wide variety of flowers for her to admire. Even though she was
away from home to study and build a future, Tippapha
always missed Chomchan Farm. She hoped that her father
would let her come home soon.

“When I go back to Thailand, I will definitely visit Aunt Laura.

I won't live there forever.”

“And your father has already allowed you to return?”

“He promised he’ll let me come back next year.”

“Last year when you graduated, I heard Thip say that too.”

Rose, with her pretty face, just smiled slightly, not knowing how
to justify her father's words, since what Aunt Laura said was
true. Initially, she had also hoped to return to Thailand
once she finished her master's degree. But instead, her father
asked her to stay and help Aunt Laura for almost another year.
He often gave her hope that after

Page 10 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

resolve something important that he said was not finished, she could come
back.

“I'm sure my father has a reason he can't tell me.”

In the past, because she was very young, she didn’t have much
knowledge about adult problems. Furthermore, her father rarely talked
about his own problems with her. However, despite the distance, she
always loved and respected her father. Rose wanted to go back home to
spend time with him and also because she missed the flower farm.
She wondered how beautiful the farm would be now, if it would have
grown even bigger and if it would be even more stunning than
before.

Crash!!

"Oh my God! I just made a small mention, you didn't need to get so
upset."

"It's okay, Aunt Laura. I'll clean it myself."

Tippapha volunteered to help Aunt Laura, who accidentally

knocked over her father's picture frame that was on the corner of her
desk, breaking it.
Then she went straight to collect the broken glass from the picture frame
to throw it away, making sure no one would step on it and get hurt.

"There!"

"Rose, are you okay, honey? You're bleeding!"

"Don't worry, it's just a superficial cut. It was my fault, I was careless."

"I'll get the first aid kit."

Page 11 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Who's calling now?"

Her face filled with beauty, she looked towards Aunt Laura, who
was already running to get the first aid kit. Even though she
wanted to ask her to stop, she knew it would be useless at that
moment. Then, the ringing of the phone ended up diverting her
attention from the chaos in front of her.
Tippapha abandoned his task of picking up the pieces and answered
a call from a familiar number.

"Hello?"

[Miss Rose, something terrible has happened!]

"Moddaeng, what happened at home?"

[Please stay calm. It's just that...]

"Speak now!"

[Your father... He had a serious car accident. The vehicle overturned

and, at this moment, he is in the ICU.]
"..."

[Miss Rose? Are you listening to me? Can you hear me?]

Between the picture frame of his father, which was next to him in the photo
and now shattered into countless pieces scattered across the
floor, and the heart that had just received devastating news from the other
side of the world...

Which of the two would have been more shattered?

"When will my father wake up?"

Page 12 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Your father's case involved severe brain trauma due to the accident.
The doctor had to perform surgery to drain the blood and reduce
the swelling in the brain, reducing intracranial pressure. In addition,
other internal organs were also damaged due to the impact. Although
the surgery performed yesterday was successful, doctors still cannot
predict when the patient will wake up. Even if he does wake up, the
damage to the brain could cause complications that we will only be
able to assess after recovery and further detailed examinations."

"..."

"Either way, I recommend that the family prepare themselves

emotionally."

Tippapha sat motionless, as if she had been hit hard on the head and
neck, after hearing the words of the neurologist who was handling
her father’s case. The doctor suggested that she prepare for the
worst, which was not easy to accept.

She didn't want to deal with the loss anymore. After losing her mother a
few years ago, what hurt the most was not having enough time to spend
with her father. She had always waited for the opportunity to be with him,
but he couldn't resist and left her alone, without warning.

"Rose, please go and rest. Even if you stay here, you still can't see
your father."

"I'll wait here, Moddaeng. I'll wait until my father wakes up, so he can
see me first."

Page 13 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Rose, don't be stubborn. If your father finds out, he'll worry."

"So, I'll go back to the farm first and then I'll go to the police station."

"Rose, what are you going to do there?"

"I need to investigate my father's case, see if it was an accident

or if someone did this on purpose."

The pretty-faced lady glanced quickly at Moddaeng, who was following her
anxiously. Moddaeng was the daughter of the maid who took care
of the house and the details for Tippapha’s father. Moddaeng, who was
the same age as Tippapha, was the one who always contacted her
with news about the farm and the neighboring properties that were
connected.

"It was the day of your father's accident. On that day, Mr.
Wasupon went to the farm to visit his father."

"The farm owner, Nabanan?"

"Yes, do you remember Wasu, Mr. Wasupon's son?"

"I remember vaguely. On the neighboring farm, there was Mr.

Wasu and Mrs. Din, but it's been a long time since I've seen them."

"Mr. Wasu and Mrs. Din were a very beautiful couple. But in terms of
personality, they were completely different. Here, Mr. Wasu is a
powerful person, everyone respects him. Mrs. Din, on the other hand,
prefers to be alone, not mixing with anyone."

"And do you know, Moddaeng, why Mr. Wasupon came to see my father?"

Page 14 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"I don't know, Rose. I wouldn't dare listen to private

conversations about Mr.
Wasupon."

Tippapha was disappointed and frustrated. What Moddaeng had

told her did not give her any useful information about the
difficult situation she was facing. However, when she heard about
people she had known in the past, she could not help but try
to reminisce about the old times, although she could not
identify many changes.

"Rose, there's a car following us."

"Is that the car behind?"

"Yes. I noticed he's been following us the whole time."

"That car looks familiar. I think I saw it parked in front of the

hospital."

"Let me speed up a little. If not, he'll soon stop following us."

"Yes! Rose, the car honked and is pulling up alongside us."

Tippapha lost her balance under the sudden braking, but was
lucky not to be injured. The black truck with tinted windows
pulled in front of her car, blocking the road to Chomchan
Farm. A young man in the passenger seat opened the door
and began walking towards her car.

"It's Mr. Wasu! How does he drive like that? That's dangerous!"

"Moddaeng, is that man Mr. Wasu?"

"Yes, it's him, Mr. Wasu."

Page 15 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Before she could finish speaking, the young man named Wasu approached
the Sangjan farm car she had driven from the airport to the hospital in. Mr.
Wasu raised his hand and gently touched the window on the side she was
sitting in, smiling, even though she had not yet opened the door to get out or
rolled down the window to

to talk.

"Rose, come down and talk to me."

"Rose, please don't come down. We don't know what his objective is yet."

"Don't worry. If I don't come down, he probably won't stop following us."

Tippapha made the decision with the same determination as her father, Mr.
Tipakorn. She then slowly opened the car door and got out, coming face
to face with the young man, who was not much taller than her. It was a
meeting after many years, and she hardly recognized the boy from the
neighboring farm, the one she used to call P'Wasu.

"It's been so long since we've seen each other. Rose, you're looking
prettier."

"Mr. Wasu..."

"No, no, why so formal? We're like family, aren't we?"

"Why did you follow my car here?"

"Ah, just... I wanted to welcome Rose home in a warm way."

"Let me go!"

Page 16 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Why is that? When we were kids, you even rode on my back, don't you
remember?"

"The past and now are different things. I feel uncomfortable and I don't like
what you are doing!"

"You are so beautiful and tough."

Since he didn’t let go of her wrist rudely, Tippapha then pulled her arm
away from that rude touch, especially since they hadn’t met for so
many years. Besides, the fact that they played together as children didn’t
mean that it would be considered a type of closeness now that they were
adults.

But because she was alone, she couldn't face the men's strength, and
Moddaeng couldn't help her because she had been detained by Wasu's
men, who were accompanying him, along with her driver. So, she would
need to find a way to escape this uncomfortable situation by herself,
without expecting anyone to come to her aid until her father had
woken up yet.

As she hadn't expected help, the person who appeared and got out of the
car that had parked behind her, quickly going to grab her wrist and pull
her to take shelter behind her, was someone she hadn't expected.

"Damn, it has to be you, Din, always showing up to stick your nose

where it doesn't concern you."

Din? So the person who came to help was his sister, Din, who lived on the
farm next to his father's flower farm.

Page 17 of 413

"You are mistaken. I never wanted to get involved in matters that are
none of my business."

"Then why the hell are you butting into my business with the

Rose?"

"Because it is my duty."

"Duty? What duty is that? Don't come and interfere. If you don't want
trouble, go back to your farm."

Tippapha's eyes widened in surprise, as she had not imagined that someone
would dare to act in such a defiant manner against the law in the middle of
the day, without fear of committing a crime, just as Wasu raised a
pistol and pointed it at the person who was helping her, with several
other pistols in the hands of her henchmen.

"If we're going to exchange shots, let's see who comes out on top."

"Din, leave me with him for now!"

Kasama glared at the man in anger after being surprised by her

actions, who realized her strategy and had his henchmen from
the flower farm follow Wasu's group, creating a numerical advantage. If
a fight were to break out, it seemed like Wasu's farm would not come out on
top.

"Don't think that without Thipakorn, everything will be easy for you."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Because Thipakorn entrusted Rose to me!"

Chapter 1

Earthly Marriage

"Don't cry anymore, Nong Rose. It's just a small cut. I'll take you to get
some medicine, and it will heal soon."

"Get out of the way, Din! I'll take care of Rose!"

The girl Kasama, just ten years old, was pushed hard on the shoulder by
a boy who looked taller and stronger than her, causing her to lose her
balance and fall.
Compared to him, she was small, shorter than other children her age.
Furthermore, she was often teased and teased, being called frail
and sickly for her weak and frail appearance. She clearly did not have the
strength to help someone younger than her who had just tripped,
hurting herself and leaving a slightly bloody knee, like Rose.

Page 19 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

It was at this moment that Wasu readily offered to help.

"Nong Rose, come here, behind me."

"It was you, P'Wasu!"

"I wouldn't let Nong Rose fall, like P'Din made her trip and hurt herself."

"No! P'Din didn't hurt me. I tripped on my own."

Even though little Tippapha had tears in her eyes, whimpering in pain as
she sobbed, the four-year-old girl quickly defended her friend. She didn't
want P'Wasu to tell her father that P'Din had hurt her. In fact, Din
hadn't done anything like that. She was actually the first one to help her,
even before Wasu.

The only problem was that P'Din, being smaller and more fragile, was
unable to carry her on his back. Unlike P'Wasu, who was strong and
managed to carry her firmly.
But when she looked back, she realized that Din had not abandoned her
or run away. On the contrary, he had picked up the doll that she had
dropped and had gotten dirty with dirt. Furthermore, he had taken off her
shoes and held them, walking behind her and watching carefully, not leaving
her alone.

She was like an older sister who liked to watch from afar, full of care, always
looking after and caring in silence, without liking to stand out or seek
recognition for what she did. That was the impression that
remained in her memories, although somewhat fragmented.

Page 20 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

P'Din was someone who seemed too fragile to protect or care

for her as well as P'Wasu...

But if the question were about human warmth and coziness,

little Tippapha, at four years old, would probably answer immediately that, in
this aspect, P'Din was second to none.

"You were very scared, weren't you?"

"Yes!"

"What happened a little while ago, I mean."

"I was scared, yes. Going through something like that would scare
anyone."

"It's all good now. I think they'll back off for today."

Tippapha glanced at her friend, who had been the one to start the
conversation with her. This was after Din had said that she would drive her
to Chomchan Farm herself, while asking Uncle Dech and Moddaeng to
follow them in the car. Moddaeng, in turn, immediately agreed enthusiastically,
despite Tippapha trying to discreetly signal that she didn’t want
to. After all, she didn’t know if this would be like “running away from a
tiger to meet a crocodile.”

As mentioned, meeting P'Wasu again had already been a huge surprise

for her, something that was beyond any expectation, considering they
hadn't seen each other for decades. Wasu had changed so much that she
could barely recognize him. And what about Din? She herself hadn't

Page 21 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

sure of her intentions. Why did she decide to help her?

Didn't it seem a little too convenient that she would show up at
exactly the right time and place?

Maturity and the world itself did not teach her to look at life with
pessimism. However, due to the difficult circumstances she faced at that
time, Tippapha could not fully trust anyone.

Neither the people of Chanapanan Farm, nor those of Saenrak Farm.

After all, she still didn't know the details about her father's accident,
nor did she know enough about those who were now by his side.

Although Din had also changed, it did not go unnoticed by her eyes,
who observed her for a long time, letting herself be carried away by old
memories. P'Din, who used to be small and fragile, smaller than the
others and even smaller than her, now seemed to have grown.

She was taller than her and looked mature. Furthermore, she seemed much
stronger and more stable, demonstrating calm and firmness in the face of
adversity, without showing any sign of hesitation or fear.

Since when did P'Din stop hiding behind others?

Now, she dared to firmly face Wasu and protect her...

"Oh, it's just..."

"Is there something you want to ask me?"

"You remembered I'm Rose, didn't you?"

Kasama nodded, confirming the truth instead of answering with words.

The moment she drove up to that situation, in addition to the workers of
the

Page 22 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Chomchan Farm, whose faces were already familiar to her, such as the
uncle driver whom she often met when her adoptive father Thipakorn
visited, even the girl named Moddaeng who always greeted her when
she came to Chomchan Farm, there was another person she had not seen
for fourteen years. To someone unfamiliar with the area, it was easy to
guess who she might be.

"But P'Din had changed so much... Rose almost couldn't recognize

her."

"And even."

Tippapha glanced at her, who was still a woman of few words, just as she
had been in her childhood when Din had been unable to keep up
with her incessant chatter. This meant that she had not changed
completely. There were still features that reminded her of the child
she had been before. However, her serious, expressionless face
and the absence of the smile she usually gave in response were the most
noticeable changes since she had grown up.

Thinking about it, the Din now seemed much more reserved
than when she was ten.

"It's been over ten years since we last saw each other.
How many exactly? I moved abroad to study when I was ten. If I count up
to now, it's..."

"Fourteen years."

"Yes, exactly fourteen years. But why, when she came to help me just now,
was P'Din able to remember that it was me, Rose?"

Page 23 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"I saw the Chomchan Farm car. From the looks of it, there was something
wrong. So I decided to go check it out."

"Moddaeng brought water and snacks."

"Thank you. Moddaeng, you can leave now. If I need anything, I'll call."

"Yes, Mrs. Rose."

The owner of the beautiful face watched Moddaeng leave the living room
of Chomchan Farm and then looked back at P'Din, who was taking a sip of
water in a reserved environment, suitable for important conversations.

"About my father... does P'Din know what happened?"

"Before I met you and Wasu, I had just returned from the police station."

"What were you doing there? Does it have to do with my father?"

"I went to speak to the officer in charge of the case. It seems they are too
quick to conclude that it was an accident. The officer told me that based
on the evidence at the scene, it was probably due to driver negligence.
But what I questioned and still puzzles me is that the memory card for the
car's dash cam was not at the scene of the accident."

"You mean someone stole it?"

Page 24 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"There is no concrete evidence as to when the card went

missing. At that time, I didn't even notice because I was worried about
Uncle Thip's condition. It is possible that the card was stolen before or that
someone tried to hide or destroy important evidence that was on it."

"You said 'at that time'? Does that mean P'Din was present at the accident?"

"Yes, I was the first person to arrive at the scene. I called the ambulance,
notified the police and then followed Uncle Thip in the ambulance to the
hospital. Afterwards, I went to give my statement at the police
station."

Tippapha was silent as she heard the truth of what had happened,
something no one had told her before. Not even Moddaeng had mentioned
these details, only the basics when the rescuers had called the farm.
This meant that the last person to be with her father before he
arrived for medical care was P’Din.

"So is there anyone suspicious or any evidence to suggest it wasn't an

accident?"

"I still can't accuse anyone without concrete evidence."

"So when you told Wasu that my father entrusted P'Din to me, what exactly
did that mean?"

Kasama kept eye contact with Nong, who seemed full of confusion and
concern at the situation she was facing. She understood and sympathized
with Rose, but she could not say anything that was just an assumption
or without concrete evidence, so as not to make her even more uneasy.
As for the case of Uncle Thipakorn, Kasama would do her best.

Page 25 of 413

all to seek justice and ensure that he was not ignored. Besides, she
had promised her uncle to take care of Rose.

"Before the accident, Uncle Thip came to the farm to meet me

and mentioned about Mr. Wasupol wanting to ask Wasu for her hand
in marriage. But Uncle Thip refused, as he always did when that side
insisted."

"Why didn't my father ever tell me about this?"

"As for that, I don't know the reason or motives behind Uncle Thip's decisions.
I can only tell you what I know. He told me that he was uncomfortable
with the situation and asked me, if anything happened to him, to take
care of you. He asked me this very seriously, and I promised that I would
not abandon you."

"..."

"I want you to be careful, Rose, because you are in a difficult and very
dangerous situation right now. Both because of the land your father
wanted to leave you and because of the people who may be waiting
for an opportunity."

Even without pointing fingers directly at the culprits, Kasama believed

that Rose was intelligent enough to understand the gravity of the
situation. She was also certain that the Mahattanakorns, father and son,
would not give up so easily. Now that everything seemed to be going in
their favor, with Uncle Thipakorn absent to protect his daughter, Rose
was in an even more vulnerable position.

This was probably why Uncle Thipakorn had asked Kasama to protect
Rose, even in a moment between life and death. Kasama knew that he was
fighting with all his might to survive,

Page 26 of 413

while she would also do her best to fulfill her promise.

"I want Rose to come live under my care."

"P'Din?"

"For now, until the case is resolved and Uncle Thip gets better.
Think about it. When you have an answer, let me know."

Did this mean that her father had really decided to leave her in P'Din's
care?

"Lom, are you busy? Can you talk now?"

[P'Din, you never call me, and now you decide to do this?]

"I need your help with something important."

[If P'Din is asking like this, how could I not help?]

Kasama was silent for a moment as she looked through the rearview
mirror at the Chomchan farm area, where she had just said goodbye to
Thipakorn's goddaughter to return to her own farm, Saenrak.
However, she was still worried about the young girl's safety, so she decided
to call Wayo, her cousin, who could probably help her deal with the
situation that was troubling her.

"Rose is back."

Page 27 of 413

[Rose? Ah, now I remember. The girl from the flower farm next to yours,
right?]

"That's right. But now she's in danger."

And maybe it's too difficult to deal with alone...

"Miss Rose, may I come in?"

"Yes, you can come in."

"I brought you some warm milk. I noticed you didn't eat much for dinner. By
the way, what are you looking for? Do you want me to help?"

"No need. I'm just going through some old boxes. It's like reliving memories."

"But there's so much dust! Maybe I should clean it up first."

"Are the childhood toys still here? Dad put them all away."

"What toy is that? Look at that ugly stitch in the seam!"

Tippapha stared at the poorly stitched arm of her favorite childhood

teddy bear. She had almost forgotten about it, long ago abandoned in a
box that had never been opened again. But Moddaeng’s observation of the
poorly stitched arm brought back a memory: the person who had done the
clumsy work was the same person who had recently brought her something
important to think about and decide on.

Page 28 of 413

"When I was a kid, his arm got torn. I remember trying to fix it with duct
tape, but I couldn't. So P'Din snuck in and fixed it for me."

"Ah, was it P'Din who did this? I take it back right now!"

"I wonder... is P'Din someone I can trust right now?"

"Why do you speak like that, Miss Rose? It seems like you don't trust P'Din,
even though she helped you today."

"But P'Din was the first person present at my father's accident. Maybe it was
a coincidence, but what was she doing there at that time? And there's
also the matter of my father confiding in me... Never mind! I just want to
wait for my father to wake up and ask him the truth directly."

Tippapha’s beautiful face looked at Moddaeng, who was looking at her

with an even more confused expression. The young woman’s words had
left Moddaeng puzzled, not fully understanding the confusion
she was going through. But even if she explained everything, she
knew that Moddaeng would not understand.

"Moddaeng, go rest. I'm going too. I need to go to the hospital early

tomorrow."

"Don't forget to drink all the milk, okay?"

"I'm not a child anymore for you to force me to drink milk!"

"Moddaeng is just worried, Miss Rose. Everyone on the farm is worried

about Thipakorn and also

Page 29 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

with you. Now you need to take care of yourself, so that nothing happens
to you too. You need to be here as a strength and inspiration for all of
us."

"I understand. Please thank everyone for me."

Thipakorn's daughter, who may become the new "mother" of the farm in
the future, ended her conversation with Moddaeng before turning her
attention to the old teddy bear she had just taken out of a storage box.

Even though it was covered in dust and still unwashed, Tippapha

decided to put it on the table instead of returning it to the box.
She stared at it, lost in thought, and mumbled, even though she knew
her question would probably never be answered.

"I wonder what P'Din is like now?"

"Don't you want us to accompany you, Miss Rose?"

"Everyone wait here. There shouldn't be any problems inside the hospital."

Tippapha ordered the farm workers who had accompanied her to the
hospital that morning to stay outside. She assumed this was Moddaeng’s
idea, concerned to avoid any repeat of the previous day’s incidents. But
when she arrived at the front of the intensive care unit, where her
father still remained in critical condition, she was met with an unexpected
face: the man she had had a disagreement with the day before.

Page 30 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Have you come to visit your father, Miss Rose? I've been
waiting here for a while now."

"Mr. Wasu, what are you doing here?"

"I came to visit Uncle Thipakorn, of course. See, I brought a basket of

fruit."

"Then take it back, my father hasn't woken up yet and can't eat
anything."

"Miss Rose, eat in his place. I'm worried about both you and Uncle
Thipakorn."

The pretty-faced young woman instinctively backed away when she

saw the man approaching her in an overly intimate manner. Fortunately,
he did not have the courage to act disrespectfully or try to invade her
space, as he had done the day before, when she made her displeasure
with his lack of education and respect very clear.

"Miss Rose, do you want me to call the men from the farm over
here?"

"No need, Moddaeng. He won't dare to cause trouble here."

"Are you going to visit your father now? That way I can go in and visit him
too."

"Mr. Wasu, if you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't

bother my father."

"Then let's talk over there in that corner. You don't need to be afraid, this is
a hospital. And I promise I won't be disrespectful to you again. I
apologize for yesterday. I was so excited that I couldn't control myself."

Page 31 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Please go ahead. Actually, I have something to talk to you

about too."

"Do you want to talk to me alone? How about we go to a nice

restaurant outside the hospital? We can talk while we eat,
the atmosphere will be much better than here."

"I don't have time to do something so unimportant while my

father is still in a coma."

"Sorry, I just didn't want to see you so stressed or sad about

what happened to Uncle Thipakorn."

Tippapha stared at the man she was trying to keep her distance
from. After sitting down on a chair, she saw that he had also sat
down nearby, which made her move away and put her bag
between them, making it clear that she didn't want him to get
any closer.

"Mr. Wasu, do you know if my father has any enemies or

conflicts with anyone in the region?"

"What are you suspecting?"

"I think what happened to my father may not have been an

accident. Maybe someone who wants the Chomchan Farm
land is involved, or maybe it's some conflict of interest. But I
really can't think of who it could be. That's why I'm asking
you, who knows the area well."

"It's not hard to figure out. I'll tell you: the enemy who has always
been against your father is Din."

"What?"

"Surprised? But if you know the truth, you'll be even more

shocked. Think about it: Din's Saenrak Farm is much smaller
than my family's Chanapanan Farm.

Page 32 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

He wants to take over Chomchan Farm's land so he can have

more land than my family. He might be planning to gain
Thipakorn's trust so he can betray him later."

"But the Din I knew as a child wasn't like that."

"People change as they grow up. Besides, yesterday she said

that your father entrusted you to her, knowing that Thipakorn
is still in a coma. How can you be sure that your father really
said that? She knows that without Thipakorn, all the land and assets
will go to you, so she went ahead and deceived you as well. Worse
still, she might even be behind the attack on your father."

“...”

"But don't worry, Miss Rose. I, Wasu, will be here to protect

you."

"Please, Miss Rose, don't make rash decisions like that again.
Moddaeng almost had a heart attack! You spent so much time
talking to Wasu that I thought something serious had happened."

"I can take care of myself, Moddaeng. And besides, nothing bad
happened."

"It's a good thing Din sent the men from Saenrak Farm to help
ensure security. That way, if anything happens, they can help you."

"Men from Saenrak Farm? Who are they?"

Page 33 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Tippapha asked, puzzled by what Moddaeng was saying. She had no idea
that there were people from Saenrak Farm accompanying her since early
morning. She thought they were all from Chomchan Farm. It seems that she
misinterpreted and jumped to conclusions.

“The workers on our farm are only Uncle Dech and P’Aod. As for the
young man named M, he is not a worker on our farm. Moddaeng only
found out from P’Aod that Mr. M is actually an undercover police officer.”

“And who gave permission? I didn’t know anything.”

“Maybe Mrs. Din didn’t tell you because she didn’t want you to
worry.”

“It’s all Mrs. Din this, Mrs. Din that.’ Which farm are you from, Moddaeng?”

“It’s nothing to do with it, Miss Rose! Moddaeng is just commenting on

what she saw. I don’t really belong to anyone.”

The pretty-faced young lady glared at Moddaeng, who

immediately raised her hands, as if admitting defeat and declaring
neutrality before her mistress. Even so, Rose still couldn’t shake the
disturbing thoughts that had been tormenting her since that morning. And
to make matters worse, new problems had arisen, making her dinner even
more tasteless.

“If I have to choose someone to help me, will I make the right choice?”

“You’re talking about Mr. Wasu and Mrs. Din, right?”

Page 34 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Yes."

“Ah, that’s not hard to decide! If I were Moddaeng, I’d choose

Madam Din. Mister Wasu is so impulsive that if you get close to him, you
might end up being threatened with a gun at any moment.”

“People may seem good or bad at first glance, but the heart is a mystery.
Even if someone presents themselves as a good person, I don’t
want to judge hastily or trust them completely without getting to know
them better.”

“If you don’t know, just ask, Miss Rose. Then you can decide based
on the answer.”

“You’re right. I should go ask and clarify things, so I don’t get confused
anymore.”

“Hey! Where are you going, Miss Rose? You haven’t even started eating!”

Moddaeng watched her mistress, who suddenly hurriedly stood up from

the dining room and walked quickly towards the entrance of
the house. Without wasting any time, she rushed to follow her, but was
forced to stop when her mistress stopped abruptly, staring at someone
who had been mentioned in the recent conversation.

Tippapha stopped in front of Kasama, who had also stopped. They

both exchanged glances for a few moments before one of them
broke the silence and spoke first.

“P'Din, what are you doing here?”

“I came to see you, Rose. But it looks like you were leaving, doesn’t it?”

Page 35 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

“No, it wasn’t going anywhere.”

Tippapha lied through his teeth, even though his earlier attitude and
obvious haste completely contradicted his improvised answer. It was
such an unconvincing excuse that it didn’t even seem necessary to
question it further.
However, P'Din did not insist and instead explained the reason for his
visit.

“I just got back from an errand in the neighboring district. It was only
now that I heard that you found Wasu in the hospital.”

“It was nothing major.”

“There was no problem, right? If you need any help, just let me know.”

“There wasn’t, I solved everything myself.”

“If that’s okay, then I’ll take my leave.”

“P'Din came to ask just that and is already leaving?”

“Yes, I have already finished what I had to do.”

Kasama replied in her usual calm voice, while keeping her eyes
fixed on Tippapha's, who continued to stare at her intensely, as if the
matter was not yet over. And she was right, for she heard the unexpected
question that came from the younger girl.

“Have you had dinner yet?”

"He is well."

Page 36 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Then stay for dinner. Rose has something important she

wants to talk about."
The fair-faced lady glanced at the person who had
quickly interrupted, leaving no room for her to refuse,
before turning to Moddaeng, who had hurriedly
invited her into the dining room after the landlady’s daughter
had entered earlier.

"Rose invited you to dinner?"

"Yes."

"But I don't think that's it."

"Why not?"

"I feel like Rose invited you over to watch her eat."

“...”

"I know you've been stressed about a lot of things, but take
care of yourself too, I don't want Uncle to worry."

Din spoke with a voice full of concern and good

intentions, because he noticed that Rose was just sitting
in silence and barely picking up food to put on her plate
or bring to her mouth. So, it was a dinner where only she was
eating for a while, until the older one had to speak, even
though she normally doesn't like to meddle in other
people's business.
"Mahattanakorn or Watinwanich?"

"What?"

Page 37 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Rose is asking you, Din, who Amornjinda should trust more at this time,
between Mahattanakorn or Watinwanich."

"I don't know. I don't have an answer."

"No answer? I thought you would say to trust more in

Watinwanich."

Here is the Portuguese translation:

Since Mr. Wasu had told her to trust Mahattanakorn when

she had asked the same question, but the answer she had received was
completely different, she did not understand what Din's "I don't have an
answer for you" response really meant. Or could it be that Din did not
want her to trust?

"Because Rose's trust can't be decided by anyone else. Rose is an

adult now. I think you can decide for yourself about that."

"And if I decide to choose Mahattanakorn, what will Din think?"

"I will respect your decision."

"But you said you promised your father?"

Does this mean that if Din respects her decision, it would mean
breaking his promise to her father?
Tippapha wanted to ask to clarify as clearly as possible, so that she could
hear both sides and then make a decision based on her own feelings.

Page 38 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Even if Rose chooses Mahattanakorn, if it is your choice

and will, I have ways to protect you in my own way. Don't
worry."
"And you're not going to tell me that Mahattanakorn is a bad
person? You're not going to warn me to be careful of him
or not to trust him, like Mr. Wasu told me to be careful
of Din? You have the right to explain, Rose gave you the
opportunity. Din, tell me what Mr. Wasu is like?"
"Actions speak louder than words. I'm not going to say
someone is bad without proof and I'm not going to say
I'm better than anyone else.
Rose, decide based on what you see and what you feel. I
have nothing to
justify or explain."

"Okay, thanks, Din. That really helped me make a decision."

"Like this?"

"I have decided that I will remain in your care."

"..."

"Because I chose Watinwanich."

Chapter 2

A kind but strong person.

“Wasu, my father says you shouldn’t be so trustworthy.

How’s the plan with Thip’s daughter going? How far have you gotten
with this? This is no time for you to get comfortable and relaxed!”

“Get out of here.”

Wasu gave an order to the last woman he was dating, whom he brought
to Nabanan Farm, after his father walked in and interrupted the moment,
clearly displeased to see Wasu still relaxing and enjoying himself,
being served while the Chomchan Farm issue was still unresolved.

But today Wasu felt that things were going well, after a private
conversation with Tippapha, and believed that the owner's
daughter, Thipakorn, would fall into the same trap as her own father.

“Everything is going according to plan. You don’t need to worry.”

“How can you say I wasn’t worried? The people there are already
asking us to find a way to expand or change direction. And the police
have been keeping an eye on it, if it weren’t for the informants who are
tipping us off, but once we get the land next to Chomchan Farm, the land
on Saenrak Farm won’t be needed anymore.”

Page 40 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

“Old Thip is lying there, a vegetable. He’s going to die anyway. He doesn’t
have the power to stand up and protect the daughter he loves so much,
Dad. And even if Din tries to interfere, Rose is a naive woman, easy to
fool. One little push and she’ll fall into the same trap she did when
we were kids.”

Just like today, when he heard Wasu’s words about the suspect in the
accident involving Thipakorn, he noticed the confusion and insecurity in the
young woman’s eyes, who couldn’t hide her feelings. This meant that
even Kasama needed to be watched and couldn’t be trusted so easily.

“I trust you to solve this. Don’t let it slip away this time.”

“It's a shame the old man was lucky and didn't die right away,
otherwise things would have been easier.”

“That’s why I said you can’t make a mistake this time. If you don’t, we’ll
all be in trouble.”

“But even if he wakes up, he won’t be able to do anything against a son-in-

law like me. Or, if he recovers, he’ll die of heartbreak when he sees
that I’m marrying his daughter and taking away the land of Chomchan
Farm.”

A girl like Rose, who always needs others to protect and pamper her,
if someone like Wasu really tried hard, no weak person like Din
would be able to defend her!

Page 41 of 413

“Sir, Rose has come to visit you.”

Tippapha reached out and held her father’s hand, even though he had not
yet regained consciousness or woken up after the life-saving brain surgery
that night. There were now many machines attached to his body, helping to
keep his condition stable. All she could do was visit him every day, at
the times the hospital allowed. However, the miracle she had always hoped
for had not yet happened. The doctor still told her that they would have
to monitor his condition day by day and could not say when her father
would wake up.

It was like a period of no good or bad news...

“This time, Din came too.”

“Thip, Din came to visit us.”

Kasama greeted Mr. Thipakorn after watching from a distance and

letting Tippapha have some alone time with her father, not wanting to
interrupt or disturb.
Because that day was the first time she had the opportunity to
visit the owner of the Chomchan farm together with the farm's heiress, and
she was also the one who went to pick up the young woman from the
hospital as agreed the night before.

“Since she was little, Rose has always trusted her father’s decisions in
everything, because he always chose what was best for her. That’s why
I chose to trust Din and

I will follow the request that dad made for her.”

Thip, don't worry about it, Din promised to fulfill what was agreed. The rest,
you need to recover quickly, get well soon, so you can take care of
yourself and

Page 42 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

protect Rose personally.

There was no response from the man who was still in a coma, and the hope
of his quick recovery seemed increasingly distant. Thus, silence fell
as both visitors stood there without saying anything more after what had
been said earlier. But at least Kasama believed that if a person who was
being kept alive by machines like Mr. Thipakorn could still
perceive something, he would surely rest assured and trust that Rose was
not facing all of her problems alone!

"It's almost lunch time, Rose, are you going to eat something?"

"No need, Din can take me back to the farm.

I'm not hungry."

"People don't eat just because they're hungry, but it's important to eat meals
at the right time."

"Can you stop complaining?"

"But..."

"I chose to be under Din's care, as my father asked, but that doesn't
mean Din will complain about me or treat me like a child."

Kasama stared at the girl, who, from the looks of it at the moment,
seemed more like she was complaining about her than the other way
around. Although her words weren’t even close to being a complaint,
they were just a show of concern. But if it was

Page 43 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

interrupted so clearly, she would not insist any further or become

irritated.

As I mentioned before, I don't like to get involved in

other people's problems. I have a habit of avoiding getting
involved in other people's lives. After all, with my own life
and the responsibilities I have as the owner of the
Saenrak farm, I already have so many things to deal with
that I barely have time for anything else.
"Din! Where are you taking me?"

"Back to the farm."

"But you've already passed the farm entrance. Where exactly are you
going?"

Tippapha asked with concern to the driver who was taking her to visit her
father and then taking her back to her field, but why was she going in
the wrong direction, without saying anything, and still refusing to answer
her question? She acted as if it was intentional, as if she had
done it on purpose, and instead of giving an answer, she did what
seemed to be the answer to her question, turning into Saenrak
farm, which was less than ten minutes away.

"Why are you taking me to Saenrak Farm?"

"Let's have lunch first, just so I can watch you eat."

"What?"

"If you eat everything for lunch, then I'll take you back to Chomchan
Farm."

Page 44 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"..."

So this is how she's going to act, like she didn't listen to me when I asked
her not to treat me like a child? She's going to give me a suggestion,
like she sees me as a child? When I told her I was under her care, she
wasn't supposed to treat me like that. I think we need to talk and get this
straight.

"Here it is."

"Thanks."

"Please wait a moment. Mrs. Din asked us to prepare the table for
lunch. It will be ready shortly."

"What about Mrs. Din? Where did she go?"

"She went to sign some documents at the office. But she said she would
be back for lunch."

Tippapha nodded in response to the older lady, who seemed to be more

experienced than the maids at her own farm. After a coincidence, she
had ended up at Saenrak Farm without planning to visit, and the
lady of the house had left her waiting in the separate room while
she disappeared without a word.

"Miss Rose has grown up and is very beautiful. I have seen her since
she was very little, she was lovely, running and playing with Mrs. Din on
the farm."

"Did you know me when I was a child?"

Page 45 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Yes, of course! I have worked at Saenrak Farm for over twenty years."

"Sorry, I didn't remember you. I was very young at the time."

"I am very happy to have the opportunity to see Miss Rose again."

"By the way, how many people live here? It's pretty quiet."

The young girl, with her pretty face, began to look around the separate
room.
Her eyes fell on a picture frame on the shelf behind her, with a photo of Din
next to several people she didn’t recognize. Then she saw a photo of the
Watinwanich family, with Din, Mrs. Katchakorn, and Uncle Kasidit.

In the photo, Din looked quite young and was smiling widely...

Nothing like the Din she saw when she came back this time, when she
hadn't seen her smile once yet.

"Only Mrs. Din lives here at home."

"Oh, what about the others? Isn't Uncle Kasidit here?"

"The boss passed away several years ago, Miss Rose."

"..."

Since she had never asked her father about Uncle Kasidit, Tippapha
did not know that her father's friend, whom she respected greatly, had
passed away several years ago.
It was a good thing she didn't ask Mrs. Din earlier due to lack of knowledge,
because if she had received the answer, she probably wouldn't have known
how to react.

Page 46 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Mrs. Din is an only child, so she had to take on the responsibility

of taking care of all the farm's affairs since she was still in college.
At that time, it was a very difficult period in Mrs. Din's life.

A lot of heavy things happened, especially for a woman alone. But

because Ms. Din is very strong, she managed to overcome everything and
became the talented Ms. Din that she is today."

"And those other people in the photos, who are they? I don't recognize
anyone."

"Oh, they're Mrs. Din's cousins. The boss's younger brother's daughter.
After Mrs. Din, we
have the aunt and uncle. And 'Mr. Fai' is the one who gets
nervous and doesn't like having his picture taken."

At least, in her misfortune, Mrs. Din had many cousins. Comparing

to her, Tippapha thought that if she lost her father, she would be alone,
as she had no cousins.
Besides Aunt Laura, she doesn't have anyone else close to her in the
family.

"Aunt Chan, is lunch ready?"

"Mrs. Din just arrived. I'll go check if everything is in order."

Kasama watched as Auntie Chan walked away from the separate living
room area, before casting a glance at the young girl, who was now staring
intently at the painting she had picked up. As she walked closer and looked
directly at it, as if she wanted to see if the other person had any
questions or wanted to ask something.

"I'm sorry for touching Mrs. Din's things without permission."

Page 47 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"No problem."

"I didn't recognize the faces, so I asked my aunt who was who."

"These three are my cousins. They rarely come to the farm."

"They're all very pretty, it seems like Mrs. Din's family only chooses
pretty people."

"Oh?"

The young woman, with her pretty face, stopped a little surprised after
letting out a comment she shouldn't have said, not knowing if she would
be surprised or not understand what she meant, but she just gave a
general compliment, without referring to anyone in particular, of course.

"Mrs. Din, Miss Rose, lunch is ready."

"Thank you, Aunt Chan. Miss Rose, let's eat."

It was really lucky that Mrs. Din had let her remark slip by, which she felt
she shouldn't have made.
When she changed the subject and said to go to lunch, she willingly
agreed and followed after her without hesitation.

"I'm glad to see Miss Rose is eating well."

"The food made by Aunt Chan is delicious."

"If so, Miss Rose needs to come to the farm to eat more often."

"Come more often? You'll be watched closely, for sure. It'll be like when I
was a kid and the teacher would watch to see if I ate everything on
my plate."

Page 48 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Tippapha purposefully turned to make eye contact with the farm owner, and
she stared back at her, after Mrs. Din seemed to be satisfied with her
eating her lunch, and was now ready to take her back to Chomchan Farm,
as she had promised.

"Then, I'll get you a dessert to cleanse your palate. Today we have 'lodchong'
with coconut milk."

"I'm done, Mrs. Din, you can take me back now."

"Yes."

"Are you just going to answer me with a 'yes'? I thought you were going
to praise me for eating everything on my plate."

"Eating everything on a plate with one hand is not something

extraordinary."

"Okay, I know I'm not as good as Mrs. Din. I admit it."

She honestly admitted that she would not be as good as Kasama, a

woman who alone can take care of hundreds of workers and manage
the farm business in place of her uncle Kasidit. Because, even though
she was back to face all the problems and take care of her father alone,
the work on the Chomchan farm was too much for her, who was still so
inexperienced, to the point that she wanted to cry, even with
the help of her father's assistant to guide her.

"If you want to be good, then finish every meal and eat everything on your
plate, eat at the right time. Only then will you be considered good."

"You know, Din, that you look like a teacher?"

Page 49 of 413

"I?"

"Yes. Did I make the right or wrong decision in choosing to stay under your
care? You are already so strict about food alone, imagine what other things
are like."

"But you can change your mind at any time."

"Like this?"

"Yesterday during our conversation, I may not have talked about this,
so I wanted to make it clear: If you ever no longer want to be under my
care or if you find a better option, you can tell me directly."

Kasama wanted Rose to know that she was not pressuring her or trying
to force anyone who had decided to accept her help to feel
uncomfortable or pressured. Even though she had given her word and
kept her promise to Rose’s father, she was willing to understand
Tippapha’s wishes as well.

So she wanted to make it clear from the beginning that if Rose wanted
independence, she would be willing to offer it, as long as she was sure Rose
would be safe.

"So, Rose also wants to tell Din that if one day she no longer wants to take
care of me, she won't have to keep her promise to my father. Din can
cancel at any time, no problem, and tell me directly."

"I wouldn't be the person to give up early."

"But if taking care of me is something that causes you more

problems than benefits, you have the right to give up."

"When I accepted the promise with uncle, I already knew what was coming."

"..."

"I'll stop taking care of you when you tell me you don't want to
anymore."

"Rose, you're back!"

"What happened, Moddaeng? You seem in such a hurry."

"There was a problem on the farm. After..."

Tippapha looked at Moddaeng who was running to meet her after seeing
that she had arrived at Chomchan Farm. But upon realizing that Din was
with her, Moddaeng stopped talking, hesitating, not knowing whether
to continue with the important topic.

"Rose, I'm going back now."

"Don't worry, Din. You can tell me what happened? That way Din will know
too."

"So, after Din took you to the hospital, some time later Mr. Wasu showed
up at the farm. He said he wanted to see you, but when I told him you
weren't there, he didn't believe me and went into the house. Even
though I tried to stop him, he didn't listen, and only left after
searching the entire house and not finding you."

"How did Mr. Wasu have the nerve to break into the house like that?"

"Plus, he brought more people with him. I was afraid he would come
back."

Page 51 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"I think Mr. Wasu will go back to the farm, as you said, until he can find
you."

"What should I do, Din? Should I report the incident so that Mr. Wasu
doesn't invade the farm anymore?"

"It's no use. If you file a police report, it will just be a note. And besides,
the law is still weak to punish, since there was no real incident."

"So we should wait until something serious happens? Until someone gets
hurt or until the situation becomes more serious? I don't understand."

Kasama also agreed with Tippapha that in many cases where help
should be immediate, people do not receive assistance in time. It
seems that action is only taken after a loss or something serious has
happened. As if it is necessary to wait until the damage has already been
done, a reactive approach rather than a preventative one.

"Don't worry. I won't let that happen."

"Din, do you already have a plan to deal with this?"

"I'll take you to stay at Saenrak Farm for now."

"Stay on your farm, Din?"

"Yes. That will resolve the situation for now, and then I will think about
how to deal with the other issues."

"But if I go, won't it cause trouble for you and the people on the farm?"

Page 52 of 413

"I and everyone here will protect you, Rose."

I promise you this, on the honor of Kasama of Saenrak Farm.

"Have you finished packing your things?"

"Yes, I didn't bring much from the United States. I was going to buy
what was missing here."

"My farm and yours are very close. If you forget something, you can
always come back and get it."

"I've already spoken to Moddaeng, but she's kept everything so well

that it's like she'll be living on Din's farm forever."

Tippapha smiled slightly at her friend as she listened to her story. After
deciding to accept and follow Din's suggestion without much thought,
perhaps because the situation was urgent and there was no time
to think.
She didn't know when Mr. Wasu would return with his group to cause
trouble at Chomchan Farm. Temporarily moving to Saenrak Farm
seemed like a safer option than staying here alone.

"Besides Moddaeng, do you want to bring anyone else?"

"Just Moddaeng is fine, Din. I don't want to bring too many people and
cause trouble on your farm."

"I don't see this as confusion. Don't worry."

"Then I'll call Moddaeng now. I don't want to make you wait too long.
Moddaeng is hopeless."

"Don't worry. There's no need to rush, I can wait."

Kasama said calmly to the girl, after going out for a walk and enjoying the
view of the flower farm while waiting for Tippapha and Moddaeng to
finish organizing their essentials. The girl was the one who left first, as she
had finished packing her things faster, and they took the opportunity to
talk a little in private while waiting for the other.

"I love this place because the flower garden next to the house was planted
by my mother."

"There are many roses."

"That's why my mother named me Rose, because she loved roses."

"That name was very well chosen for you."

"And Din, why is your name 'Din'?"

"When I was little, my mother had me prematurely. I was born very weak
and had to be kept in an incubator for weeks. My father said I was
smaller than other children at the time and looked very weak and
sickly. So my father named me 'Din' to bring good luck, and my real
name is Kasama, which means 'earth', because he wanted me to grow
up strong and strong."

“Uncle managed to choose a perfect name for you, didn’t he?

That's why it grew so strong.”

The person with the soft face did not respond or add anything
else, he just nodded, agreeing with the girl's thought. Even though now
her parents

Page 54 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

were already deceased, the expectations they had for her shaped her
and helped make her strong and steadfast.
Kasama always felt gratitude and acknowledged her parents' kindness,
and she tried every day to live the best life possible, taking advantage of the
love and protection she had received.

“Din, I would like to ask you something.”

"What is it?"

“When I move to Saenrak Farm temporarily, could I come

back to take care of my mother’s flower garden? Normally, ever
since I went to the United States with my mother, my father has been
taking care of everything here. But now that my father… I would like
to take care of something important that represents my parents’ love.”

“If I’m not busy or on the farm, I’ll take you to take care of it every
day, okay?”
“...”

Although it wasn't a firm promise or said with much seriousness in her

voice, the sincere promise made her feel touched by her friend's
kindness, in a way that made her sway, touched by the softness of her
words.

Because Tippapha didn't know how many times she would need to
thank Din to be able to repay her kindness, for being willing to help her
without fear of her own being harmed. He came into her life at that
moment when she no longer knew who to turn to.

Din was the one who made her feel safe and not alone...

"I'm so happy!"

Page 55 of 413

“Din!”

A person shouted the name of the owner of the neighboring farm in a

loud voice full of surprise at the unexpected situation. Suddenly,
the person she was trying to avoid, Mr. Wasu, returned to the Chomchan
farm again and invaded the flower garden next to her house, a
private place. He even behaved aggressively, pushing Din's shoulder
hard, causing her to lose her balance and fall without expecting it.

The situation seemed the same as when they were children. It was as if
back then, Din was trying to help her, but was also being attacked by
someone else, because they knew that Din had no way to defend
himself.

“I already warned you, Rose, don’t trust her.”

“Mr. Wasu!”

“Why are you acting like this? Don’t you want to listen to what I say and
believe me, like you used to?”

“What are you doing? Let me go now!”

“I warned you not to mess with Din! Why don’t you listen to me?

Always makes me tough and cruel!”

“Let go of me! You’re hurting me!”

Tippapha screamed as the young man dragged her by the wrist

forcefully, not caring about the pain she felt.
It was as if Mr. Wasu was selfish, wanting everything to happen according
to his will. But unfortunately, things are not that easy.

“Let go of Rose!”

Page 56 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

“I already told you, Din, don’t meddle.”

“Let go of her hand now, Wasu! Can’t you see that you’re
hurting the girl?” Kasama grabbed the young man’s wrist with her other
hand to try to stop Wasu, but she didn’t dare pull hard or move the girl
away, afraid that she would hurt her even more with the effort.

“Why would I have to listen to you, you coward?”

“Because if you don’t understand people’s language, there’s no point in

talking anymore.”

"…"

This time, Tippapha didn’t widen his eyes in surprise like last time, when
he saw Mr. Wasu pointing a gun at Din, who was standing still like a target.
But now, the one holding the gun and pointing it at the man was the
one who had always been the target, the person who had always been
second best.

It wasn't the Din from before, who used to be pushed and fall, without
the courage to get up and always staying behind...

But this Din was the type of woman who would face anyone without fear in
her eyes, and was unwilling to back down even if the other had the
advantage in physical strength and gender.

“Do you want to joke until your teeth fall out? You, Din, dare to threaten
me with a gun?”

“Let go of Rose!”

“You coward, Din! When you were a child, you would run away from

even a dog! Now, how dare you threaten me?

Page 57 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

You wouldn't even have the courage to shoot a dog!

You're weak like your father...” Bang!

The sound of the gunshot echoed, passing less than an inch

from Wasu's foot, causing him to lose focus and let go
of Tippapha's wrist without realizing it. Kasama then
took the chance and pulled the girl, who looked scared, to
stand behind her, in a safer place. She asked in a worried voice:

“Rose, are you okay?”

“Din, I... I'm fine.”

“Din! You dare shoot me?”

“Dogs stay with dogs. Why would I shoot them? But if they’re
not acting like people, that’s different. If they don’t understand
human language, they have to shoot.”
“You want to try to be bold with me? Then know that
whoever becomes my enemy will never have a happy ending.”

“Wasu, what I did was just a warning shot.”

“Because if I really intended to shoot, you wouldn’t be
here asking who will be the first to fall!”

Chapter 3

Being an important person to Watinwanich.

"Nong Din, what happened? Why are you so dirty?"

Page 59 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Father..."

"You fell, right? My daughter always comes back with a bruise."

"She didn't fall on her own, it was Mr. Wasupon's son, who always
comes to torment Din. I've fought with him several times, but when I'm not
around, he always comes to bother Din."

"Is what Aunt Chan said true, Nong Din?"

Young Kasama nodded to her father. She had never told her father about
these problems, as she knew that he was already too busy with work and
the farm workers. She didn’t want to bother him with her child’s problems,
so it was Aunt Chan who told her father for her, even after Kasama said
that everything was fine and that she didn’t want her aunt to say anything.

"Then, I'll take care of your wounds today, Nong Din. If it hurts, let me know."

Kasidit very carefully began to treat the wounds on his daughter's knee,
fearing that if he were to be more abrupt,
Kasama, who has always been weak and

sick, could get hurt even more. Although Kasama was fragile since
birth, Kasidit never stopped her from facing the world or being raised in an
overprotected way, because he wanted her to learn and grow strong.

Before the father could continue the conversation to ease the silence, he
knew that despite her fragile appearance, his daughter was strong inside.
That's why he never heard a moan or complaint from her.

Page 60 of 413

"Why didn't you ever tell me, Nong Din, that you were being bullied
by your classmates?"

"I didn't want to worry you, father. I'm weak, so I can't defend myself
and I end up being tormented."

"When your mother was still here, she always taught you to be a good girl.
Do you remember?"

"I remember, father. I remember well."

"Your mother would be very proud to see that you are a good girl. But
being good and not hurting others does not mean that you should allow
people to mistreat you, daughter."

"But I can't fight Wasu, father. He's big and strong, and I'm a girl, with little
strength."

Kasama knew that if she tried to fight, Wasu would probably hurt her even
more, since he always acted like the leader of the group and liked to bully
others, including the children of the farm workers and his classmates.
Fortunately, Wasu never bothered her, perhaps because he always
said that she would be his bride when she grew up.

"You don't always have to fight physically. If you don't have strength,
you can use intelligence and wisdom, like you did in the tests, where
you always got high marks. I know you are intelligent and you are not
weaker than anyone else."

"Wasu always gets low grades."

"See? That shows how much better you are than him. Your mom and dad
just want you to grow up healthy, able to take care of yourself and help
others when you need it.

Page 61 of 413

adult. I want you to grow up strong and not let anyone torment
you. And most importantly, don't think about
tormenting anyone."

"I never thought about hurting anyone, Dad."

"But when you grow up, if someone attacks you and there is
no one left to protect you, you will need to defend yourself.
Don't let anyone hurt you, because I won't be able to stay
here to heal your wounds forever."

"P'Din, if your hand hurts, tell me, okay?"

"Don't worry, Rose. I'm fine."

"But the scratches are pretty bad, P'Din. I still feel pain, even
after applying the medicine."

"The bruises will heal in a few days, don't worry."

Kasama was momentarily removed from her memories of the

past, after being asked by the handsome-looking
person which made her refocus on the present.
Tippapha was cleaning Kasama’s wounds carefully. Thinking
back, it had been many years since his father had last
tended to his wounds.
Although her father had told her not to let injuries go
untreated, he was no longer there to protect her or give
her medicine.
Kasama believed that if her father saw what was happening
at Chomchan's farm today, he would not be disappointed that
she had faced the situation instead of

Page 62 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

run like a weak person and give up, as he had done in the past.

Because the moment she promised Thipakorn, Kasama found herself

in the middle of a tense situation, like a burning flame, without end.

The fact that she is involved with the issues of Mahattanakorn

and Amornjinda...

Although he didn't like to get involved in other people's problems, it

meant that Watinwanich, who had always lived in peace and solitude,
would never be the same again.

"How can I stop myself from worrying? After all, I was the cause of P'Din
getting hurt."

"It was you, Rose, who was the real cause."

"There's no need to feel guilty, P'Din. Even if I'm foolish, I couldn't do anything
differently."

Even though P'Din was hurt a bit, Rose still felt bad. What if the trouble
she caused on the farm resulted in something even more serious
or dangerous? She would feel even more guilty towards P'Din
and his family.

"I'm not trying to make you feel more guilty Rose. That's not necessary,
as you have no reason to blame yourself."

"P'Din?"

"The person who should feel guilty is Wasu, not you, who was just trying to
help."

"I have much to thank P'Din for helping me. But I didn't know you were
carrying a weapon."

Page 63 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"I don't normally carry a gun, but now, to protect myself in an

emergency situation, I have to carry my father's gun."

"I don't feel good knowing this, P'Din. Don't let me go back home,
please."

Tippapha said this in a soft voice, full of concern,

because although the situation on the farm was calmer
now, she knew that this was only temporary. After gathering more
friends from the farm to help, she heard gunshots, which indicated
that the opposing side had outnumbered them, and P’Din was
no longer joking around. Wasu then retreated, but she
felt that P’Din’s life would never be peaceful again.

"Rose, rest assured here at Saenrak Farm. I assure you that

Wasu won't come here to cause trouble. I've already spoken
to the farm workers to make sure everything is safe."

"I feel safer here and I don't worry about myself anymore,
but... I'm worried about
P'Din."

"Worried about me?"

"I don't care if you don't care, P'Din. But promise me you'll be
careful? Don't go out alone anywhere and don't be reckless."

"I promise I'll be more careful, but right now we have something
more important to worry about."

"What is it?"

"Aunt Lantr has the medicine ready. Here, Rose, you better eat on
time."

Page 64 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Ah, I thought it was something serious..."

The farm owner, with a pretty and serious face, was surprised by P'Din's
concern. She thought that the situation was something really serious,
perhaps something related to Wasu, that she and P'Din needed
to protect themselves. But in the end, the concern was only about
the meals.

"Serious?"

"Seriously. P'Din is the one who is most concerned about food, because
it's important to eat at the right time."

"Don't worry, if I'm busy, sometimes I even skip lunch."

"So why are you worried now?"

"I don't want Thipakorn to accuse me of not taking good care of you."

"..."

Who said P'Din doesn't take good care of Rose?

She was being taken care of even better than if she had taken
care of herself...

"Who is it?"

"It is me."

"What are you doing here, P'Din?"

Page 65 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Tippapha asked to be sure, wanting to understand who was knocking on

her bedroom door at night. This was the first night she had been at
Saenrak Farm, and she now lived in the big house with P'Din, while her
mother was in the small house next door, so that it would be easier to take
care of her.

"This room is usually empty, so I brought some incense to purify the room.
This will make the air fresher."

"P'Din, have you entered yet? Come in."

"Don't worry, Rose. I just remembered and brought this for you. Now, rest."

"We can talk first if you want. I'm not sleepy yet."

"If you allow."

Kasama asked permission, respecting the privacy of

Tippapha. Even though the house was hers, she knew that by

living there, Tippapha also deserved his own space

and privacy. "I'll leave this here." "Yes, P'Din, you can

to leave."

"When you said you felt weird..."

"I haven't felt well since I came home. I think it's because I haven't been
here in years. Now that I'm here, I need some time to get used to it."

The beautiful young woman stood, talking to P'Din from a distance,

perhaps because she was a little uncomfortable seeing P'Din ready to sleep,
but still talking to her intimately. Watching the

Page 66 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Her mannerisms meant that she knew Din wouldn't do anything outside
of what was necessary, like the time she didn't want to sit down to talk, so
she chose to stand.

"If you need anything or want anything, let me know. I'll get it for you."

"But I'm already bothering you too much."

"I already told you not to think like that."

"If this all ends well, I promise I'll return the favor and do something nice
for you."

"I didn't do this expecting anything in return."

"I know P'Din isn't that kind of person. Even though we met again after
many years, in such a short time, I've already noticed." "Yes, then you
don't need to expect anything in return."

"But I really want to repay you, P'Din. I don't want to be in your debt."

"If you want to give back, just take care of yourself. Just knowing
you're safe is good enough for me."

“...”

Although P'Din's words were simple and without any great

expectations, there was something very sincere about them. Rose felt a
little guilty, as she felt like she was just receiving, but P'Din's words
reassured her. She realized that, to Din, her safety was enough, and that
meant everything.

"I'm going back to my room now. You rest, Rose."

"What it was?"

Page 67 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Kasama stopped walking when she saw an old teddy bear on

top of a table near her backpack. Her attention was completely
taken by that object, making her observe it more carefully,
until she walked up to it, curious, and asked in surprise.

"That teddy bear..."

"Do you remember him, P'Din?"

"The one I gave you when you were a kid, remember?"

"Yeah, I couldn't believe you still remembered that."

"I can fix it for you if you want. I know how to sew better now."

"No need, P'Din. Leave him as he is. He's a good memory,

just the way he is."
Kasama took the teddy bear in his hands, looking at it fondly,
before turning and looking into his eyes, expressing his
gratitude.

"Thank you, P'Din, for always protecting me."

She knew he had always protected her since she was a child.

"P'Din, are you leaving now?"

"Yes, I won't be spending the night in Chiang Mai."

The trusted assistant asked her boss in surprise, because
normally, when P'Din went to meet a client in another province or
in a distant place, she

Page 68 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

He would stay overnight at a hotel in the city and only return the next
day, without rushing. Kasama was not a person who liked to make long
trips back on the same day.

"P'Din, let me drive for you. I'll help."

"No. I'll drive back to the farm."

Kasama focused on the road. The journey to Saenrak Farm would take
more than three hours, and she knew she had to go back to fulfill her
promise to Tippapha to tend the orchard of trees on the farm as agreed.

"But Rose's situation really worries me. In addition to the situation of her
father and his family, we still don't know what to expect from the workers at
Nabanan Farm."

"I know, that's why I don't want to give them any chances."

"P'Din, be careful too. When the people on the farm hear that you
have problems with the Nabanan Farm, everyone will be very worried about
you. Everyone is ready to protect you, after all, you have many enemies
and a big story to tell."

"And what did you discover? Did you find any important clues?"

"Nothing important, unfortunately. The tycoons use people to do their

dirty work, and when the police start investigating, they're already
gone. Their family has too much power and influence to avoid any
accusations."

"That is, if I found the right person, I could reach those truly
responsible?"

Page 69 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Yes, but the mission will be difficult."

"Stay calm. The trap is being set."

Kasama glanced in her rearview mirror and noticed a motorcycle

following closely behind her. The vehicle had been following her since
they left the city and headed toward the farm. The road was
surrounded by trees and mountains, a secluded area that was usually
quiet at night.

"P'Din! There's a motorcycle following us!"

"That's right, it's an important clue."

Kasama accelerated her car to gain speed, but the motorcycle was still
behind her, staying close. She knew that if she couldn't get away, it
could be dangerous. At the right moment, the motorcycle tried to overtake
and cut in front of her. Kasama had no choice but to collide head-on
with the motorcyclist, because if she tried to swerve, she would lose control
of the car.

The motorcycle, in turn, tried to swerve, but ended up losing control and
falling. The two men on the motorcycle did not give up,
accelerating again after Kasama's car. When they managed to get
closer, one of the men took out a gun and shot at her car.

"P'Din, don't get out of the car. They have guns!"

"I have one too."

"There are two of them!"

"It's still under control. The situation didn't turn out as I expected."

Page 70 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Kasama slowly opened the car door, as the tire was punctured by the
gunshots and the vehicle could no longer move. The two bikers were
pointing their guns at her, ready to shoot, when suddenly, a
quick crash happened, and another bike appeared, shooting at
the men. Two accurate shots knocked the attackers down, and the
police soon arrived, controlling the situation.

"If you shoot again, you'll regret it."

"Yes, Lieutenant."

"I warned you not to take any risks, but you did it your way, Kasama."

Kasama sighed in relief. She knew she was taking a risk, but the
operation had been necessary. It was risky, but the reward of
capturing those responsible for the crimes was worth the risk, especially
now that she had concrete evidence.

"P'Din, are you back?"

"Nong Rose, it's already so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

"Hello."

"So, you're P'Din's cousin, right? I saw your picture."

She didn't answer the question directly, as she was interrupted

by someone who was following P'Din. It was a person she had seen
before, in the photo she was in.

Page 71 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

in the living room, the same photo she had asked Aunt Chan about.

"Lom, nice to meet you, Rose."

"Do you know Lom?"

"P'Din spoke about her."

"He's my consultant, so I took her advice."

"Hi, Lom."

"You really are Rose..."

Kasama quickly put her hand over her mischievous cousin Wayo’s mouth
because she knew she was going to say something nonsensical.
Wayo’s impulsive and talkative behavior usually left everyone at a loss
for how to react, so she quickly tried to stop Wayo from saying any
more.

"Nong Rose, go rest. P'Din will sleep at home today. Let's talk
tomorrow, okay?"

"Yes, I'm going to bed now."

Kasama waited until she was sure that the people with her had left the
area and only then turned around with a stern look. Meanwhile, Wayo was
still laughing, not understanding what was happening.

"You can't talk like that!"

"P'Din, when you meet a beautiful woman, you just want to say
that she is beautiful, there is no harm in that."

"The problem is, Nong Rose is not a friend."

Page 72 of 413

"Ah, I forgot that she's P'Din's wife now."

Kasama didn't know whether to be happy to help, or whether to tell Wayo

to leave Saenrak Farm now.
same.

"It seems they have a bigger plan than we imagined, and

the culprits who were caught won't confess who was behind it. They just
claim it was an incident, saying P'Din drove recklessly and that prompted
them to chase her. Who knows, maybe the police chief is on their side."

"Without evidence, don't jump to conclusions. Acting on impulse and

making accusations like this will only complicate the situation further."

"I'm not afraid. Whoever it is, come as you are."

"Control your anger a little, you're not a child anymore."

At the moment, the person most irritated by the news coming from the
police station was Wayo herself. The two captured criminals
continued to deny having received orders from anyone, insisting that she
was the one who drove recklessly, even though Kasama was completely
right, and Kaew, her assistant, could confirm as a witness that this did not
happen. However, it seemed that the truth had lost out to the money
and influence of the Mahattanakorn family, who had once again managed
to escape.

Page 73 of 413

"Right now, they're probably content, thinking they can do anything

without consequences, living above the law. I think it's quite
possible they'll try to strike back at P'Din."

"I'm already prepared to deal with this. Right now my biggest concern is
Nong Rose. I don't know how to convince Wasu to change targets and
leave her alone."

"Are you thinking of using yourself as a target instead of Rose?"

"If there's a way, I want to redirect the attention to myself."

"Well, I guess there is a way. But if Rose finds out, she definitely
won't agree. Besides, if your uncles find out, they'll be totally against it.
They would never let you risk your life for a woman."

"What's the plan?"

"P'Din, you're not afraid, are you? You don't listen to anyone's
warnings."

"Speak soon."

Kasama looked at Wayo, who shook his head in dismay at her

stubbornness. Kasama had a firm resolve, without doubts or
hesitation, especially when it came to helping Tippapha. She had already
promised Mr. Thipakorn and Rose herself that she would do her
best to protect her, and she was determined to fulfill that.

"From what I heard, Wasu wants to marry Rose, right? And his father wants
Mr. Thipakorn's land, right?"

Page 74 of 413

"Yes, they want to take everything that belongs to the

Amornjinda family."
"So why don't you take everything that belongs to the
Amornjinda family before them?"

"What?!"
"If we can make them believe that Rose and Chomchan's
land already belong to you, I bet they'll lose control and turn all
their attention to you."
"..."

"The way I see it, this may be the only way out."

"P'Din, can you believe I never wanted the Chomchan Farm? If

it were up to me, I would never be able to take care of everything my
father was always responsible for. I'm not as capable as he is. And if
I had a choice, I would prefer my father to recover and become
strong again, even if it meant getting nothing."

"I know that. Nong Rose is not an ambitious or selfish person."

Kasama spoke to the young woman with understanding and empathy.

Although the two had been apart for fourteen years, she
could still see the natural sweetness and kindness in Tippapha
that had remained the same since her youth. The
passing of time may have matured Tippapha, but it had not
changed her gentle and kind essence.

girl. On the contrary, it only made her a stronger and more determined
woman.

"Does P'Din think my father will recover? Is there still any point in
hoping?"

"Uncle Thipakorn is very strong. Now, he is fighting. And you, Nong

Rose, need to fight together with him."

"Yes, it's true. I can't allow myself to be weak. I have to be strong and
continue to give strength to my father."

Tippapha spoke firmly, as if to convince herself. At the same time, P’Din was
by her side, protecting her and helping her find emotional stability
amidst the confusion and fragility that overwhelmed her. Perhaps
it was because that morning he had taken her to visit her father in
the hospital. Their time there was brief, as was allowed, but it was
enough to give her some comfort. Afterwards, before returning, they
stopped at the flower garden at Chomchan Farm, as he had promised.

She let her take care of the flowers, the lawn, and enjoy that moment of
peace and connection with nature.

"I'm going to cut some roses to put in the vase at home."

"Leave it to me, I'll cut it for you."

"No need, P'Din. I can do it myself."

"Watch out for the thorns, I'd better help."

The beautiful young woman's gaze fell on P'Din, who kindly and
thoughtfully offered to help. She took charge of removing the thorns from
the roses with care and dedication, checking them thoroughly to ensure
they were safe.

Page 76 of 413

Only then did he hand over the bouquet, now free of thorns, delicately,
and speak in a soft tone.

"Nong Rose."

"Yes?"

"Marry me."

"..."

She was so surprised that for a moment she thought maybe she had
heard wrong. Or maybe it was an illusion.
How come she was suddenly proposing to her without any
warning? It was as if she had made the proposal completely unexpectedly,
without any preparation. If you asked her how surprised she was, it
would be easy to see from her clearly stunned expression and the
blush on her face.

Without realizing it, she let the roses fall from her hands.
Fortunately, P'Din was quick enough to catch them before they hit
the ground. She then handed them back to her and repeated her question,
this time calling her name clearly.

"Nong Rose, will you marry me?"

Chapter 4

Tippapha, the impatient bride

"Good morning, Khun Rose... Huh? You didn't even see me here?"

Wayo smiled as he greeted Tippapha, who had just

arrived at Saenrak Farm with Kasama.
Wayo had heard from Auntie Chan that the two of them had
left early to visit their father Thipakorn in the hospital and
also to stop by the nearby flower farm. When Wayo
heard the sound of the car pulling up in front of the house, he
went out to greet them, but he didn’t expect to be
completely ignored.
"P'Din, where is Khun Rose going in such a hurry?"

"Nong Rose probably doesn't want to marry me."

"What? It seems like we're talking about
completely different things here."

Page 78 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"It's about the plan you suggested last night, that of me marrying Nong
Rose. I don't think that plan will work."

Kasama responded with concern. The plan Wayo had proposed during
their serious conversation the night before seemed to be the only solution
to make the Mahattanakorn family shift their focus to
Kasama. Although Kasama agreed with the idea, it seemed that
Tippapha was not only unwilling to cooperate, but was also irritated,
perhaps even furious.

"Don't tell me you proposed to Khun Rose."

"Yes, I ordered it just now, at Chomchan Farm."

"And what did Khun Rose answer?"

"She walked away and didn't say anything. On the way back, I tried to talk
to her, but she wouldn't answer."

"Wait a minute, I'm confused. How exactly did you propose to Khun
Rose? Was it at an appropriate time? In a romantic setting?
Or did you simply present the reasons for marriage?"

"No, I just said, 'Nong Rose, marry me.' I think she got mad."

"..."

"I didn't even get a chance to explain why it would be necessary

get married.

I was planning to say that there was an important reason, but Nong Rose
didn't even want to listen to me."

Unbelievable! Kasama really surprised Wayo with his clumsy

approach. From the situation that

Page 79 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Kasama described it, anyone would be stunned, not

knowing how to react. It wasn't hard to imagine why
Tippapha hurried into the house, without stopping to talk
to Wayo. "I don't think Khun Rose is mad at you, P'Din."

"Then why didn't she respond and refuse to talk to me?"

"She must be surprised. Even I was surprised just hearing that.

Instead of starting with the reasons, you went straight to
the marriage proposal. Any woman would be speechless.
I bet Khun Rose is getting it all wrong now."

"Then I need to go apologize and explain everything to her."

"Give Khun Rose some time first. Don't go after her now. About
marriage, I think you need to think carefully about the reasons
and prepare yourself. Khun Rose won't accept marriage so
easily, even if it's just a plan."
Exactly. If Kasama had told Tippapha that the marriage
was just a plan to deceive the Mahattanakorn,
distracting them and drawing attention to herself, Tippapha
would have been certain to oppose it with all her might. She
would not have agreed to such a risky thing.
It was complicated enough that Tippapha did not know that the night before,
Kasama had ventured out to collect evidence against Wasu. Even
without knowing, Tippapha lay awake anxiously waiting for his
return.

Kasama couldn't let Tippapha know the truth and worry

even more...

Page 80 of 413

"Khun Rose! What's your head? You almost bumped into me!"

"Since when have you been here?"

"Khun Rose, are you running away from someone? You seem to
be in quite a hurry."

"Moddaeng, come here. Follow me for a moment."

Tippapha grabbed Moddaeng’s wrist, leading her into a more private

conversation. After escaping P’Din and entering the house, she felt rude for
ignoring Wayo’s greetings. However, this was an emergency; she needed a
moment to compose herself. Otherwise, if P’Din came after her to continue
talking about the wedding, she would surely lose her composure
and become even more confused.

"Help me think, Moddaeng. What should I do now?"

"What happened, Khun Rose? Why this air of mystery?"

"Just now, when P'Din took me to Chomchan Farm, she... Well, she..."

"What happened? Or did those Wasu men cause trouble again?"

"No, it has nothing to do with Wasu. But this situation has left me at a
loss for what to do, Moddaeng."

Page 81 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

With a pretty face marked by confusion and anxiety, Tippapha

sighed deeply. Her heart was still racing with nervousness.
P’Din’s sudden marriage proposal had caught her completely off
guard, as if he was casually suggesting a meal. She had said it
with such a serious expression that she could not
decipher her emotions, while her own heart was filled with
questions.

"P'Din asked me to marry him."

"..."

"See? As soon as I told you, even you were left speechless."

"It's not that I was speechless, Khun Rose. I'm just holding
back from screaming in excitement!"

"What?"
"Come to think of it, who would have thought that P'Din, with
all that seriousness, would be so romantic? You've barely met
again and she's already asked you to marry her."
Moddaeng’s enthusiastic reaction was completely
beyond Tippapha’s expectations. To bring her back to reality,
Tippapha lightly slapped her friend on the forehead. She needed
a practical opinion, not someone fantasizing about scenarios
that seemed impossible.
"Stop dreaming! I'm asking for advice, not telling you a
story to make you imagine things."
"Ah, I can't help it, Khun Rose! Just look: on the first day, P'Din
protected you; then, he took care of you on the farm; now, he
brought you to a safe place and even proposed to you! If it
were me, I would accept without thinking twice."

Page 82 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"That would be too hasty!"

"Why? If it's someone good, who can protect us, I don't see a problem."

"But I'm not you, Moddaeng. And besides, how could I marry P'Din if we
don't even love each other?
How do you expect me to marry someone without love?"

"Look at the couples of old, Khun Rose. They got married and love came
with time."

"No, I'm modern."

"Okay, fine. But even for someone as modern as you, don't you think
P'Din is an easy person to like?
She has a way that makes anyone around her want to open their heart."

"..."

"You're closer to P'Din than anyone else right now. Why don't you try to
see if she's someone you can allow yourself to love?"

Open my heart and love P'Din?

"I don't have time to think about love or anyone while my father is still in
critical condition."

"Oh, oh... I don't think I'll be able to convince you."

"I have already decided, Moddaeng. I will refuse this marriage

proposal outright."
clear and definitive."

Despite Moddaeng's expression of regret, which seemed to have

been rejected herself, Tippapha was determined. Moddaeng tried to
argue, asking her to

Page 83 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

He should have considered it better before refusing, but Tippapha

felt that he had thought enough since they left Chomchan Farm for
Saenrak Farm.

Rose and P'Din couldn't get married now...

Because there was still no love between them!

"Khun Rose, are you looking for someone?"

"Aunt Chan, have you seen P'Din? I've already searched the entire house,
but I couldn't find her."

"Khun Din has gone to the office. As for Khun Lom, she has gone out to
take care of some matters in the city. They should both be back later
this afternoon."

"Is the office far away?"

"Not much, Khun Rose. If you take a shortcut through there, you'll be
there in less than ten minutes."

"Then, I'll go to the office to find P'Din. I have something important to talk
to him about."

Tippapha decided to go meet Din, whom she had avoided earlier. To be

honest, she was surprised and unprepared to deal with P’Din’s marriage
proposal. But after thinking it over and making up her mind, she wanted to
decline clearly, to avoid any misunderstandings or complications in
the future. Since she would be staying at Saenrak Farm for some time, she
preferred to keep everything harmonious.

"Is Khun Rose going to walk there? It's very hot at this time. Let me let
Khun Din know for you."

Page 84 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"No need, Aunt Chan. I can go by myself. On the way back,

Can I get a ride with P'Din since she should be back?

for lunch at home." "As you wish, Khun Rose. I will

prepare lunch, then."

The young woman nodded in thanks as Auntie Chan walked away. Then
she changed direction, heading toward the office, which she had
never been to since moving to the farm the day before. However, she only
took a few steps before she was stopped by Moddaeng’s excited voice,
who had caught up to her in a hurry.

"Khun Rose, it's so hot! I'll accompany you and hold the umbrella."

"Why does everyone treat me like a child?"

"That's not it, Khun Rose. I'm responsible for taking care of you. Also, Khun
Din asked not to let
you go anywhere alone for the time being."

"I've barely arrived at the farm and it already seems like P'Din has
bought your loyalty,
Moddaeng."

"Khun Din didn't buy me, Khun Rose. Although I would love for her to buy
me... and also propose to me."

P'Din's marriage proposal was not something trivial to be mentioned in

such a casual manner, and Tippapha gave Moddaeng a serious look,
trying to contain her enthusiasm before it got any more overboard.

Page 85 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Hey, enough! You're going too far. P'Din is not someone

to be trifled with."

"But why are you scolding me, Khun Rose? Wait for me, let me
accompany you."

"You don't have to follow me. Go home now!"

"Sorry, Khun Rose. Don't be mad! Let me come along, please!"

"Khun Din isn't in the office, is she? There's no one here."

"But Auntie Chan told me she would be here. Did we come to

the wrong place?"

"It doesn't look like we made a mistake, Khun Rose. The Saenrak
Farm office sign is clearly visible. Do you want me to ask
someone?"

Tippapha watched Moddaeng, who was helping her search the

surroundings with her eyes. It seemed that they had come here
for nothing, because the owner of the farm, with whom she
wanted to discuss an important matter, was not there. And,
even worse, there was no one around to ask for directions.
Moddaeng then decided to explore the surroundings.

"I'll ask someone then. Wait here."

"Khun Rose, what are you doing here?"

"Do you know me?"

The pretty-faced young woman asked the older man who

approached her as she waited at the entrance of the

Page 86 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

office. It had been about five minutes since Moddaeng had left, but she still
hadn’t returned. Luckily, a farm worker showed up, saving her from
waiting indefinitely without knowing what to do.

"My name is Kla. I am the head of the farm workers. I know you
because Khun Din informed us of your presence. Everyone here knows
who you are."

"But I haven't met Mr. Kla or the other farm workers yet."

"Khun Din told us that it would be easy to recognize you because you are
very beautiful, Khun Rose. Any worker who saw you would immediately
know who you are."

"..."

Instead of giving such curious instructions, P'Din could have introduced her
directly to the farm workers, Tippapha thought. That would have kept
Mr. Kla from thinking she was conceited or overconfident.

"But, Khun Rose, you came to look for Khun Din, right?"

"Yes. Where is she now?"

"She just left. Not long ago, it was with Kaew."

"Kaew? Her assistant?"

"Yes, Khun Rose. Kaew is my daughter."

"And isn't P'Din going to have lunch at home? It's already past
lunch time."

"Don't worry, Khun Rose. She'll probably have lunch with Kaew and
then continue working. They've known each other for many years. Kaew
takes care of Khun Din

Page 87 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

for so long that you already know exactly what she needs, even without her
saying it."

"..."

If her feelings were represented by a graph, they would be in extreme highs

and lows. Receiving Mr. Kla’s praise made her visibly more cheerful. But
hearing that P’Din and Kaew were so close and understood each other so
well—something she didn’t even want to know—made the “graph” plummet,
along with her mood, which became irritable.

If they understand each other so well, P'Din should ask Kaew to marry
him...

Asking someone who has been by your side for years, not her, who has
just come back after so long!

"What happened, Khun Rose? Are you having dinner alone? P'Din
hasn't come back yet?"

"She went out with Khun Kaew since lunch time...

I mean, P'Din went out to take care of some important matters and
ended up not coming home." "That's fine, but you don't need to worry about
me. I'm not the owner of the house, I'm just here as a guest."

Wayo glanced at Tippapha, who seemed to be in a bad mood. Perhaps

it had something to do with the trouble P’Din had caused earlier that morning
when he had asked a woman to marry him without giving any
explanation. After being lectured and ignored, she had disappeared to
avoid confrontation, perhaps because she had not yet found a
convincing excuse to offer Mr. P’Din’s daughter.

Page 88 of 413

Thipakorn. However, none of this was surprising to Wayo.

"Khun Rose, you're upset about something, aren't you?"

"There is?"

"It's about P'Din's marriage proposal, isn't it?"

"You know about this?!"

"Yes, I know. But I didn't know how to bring it up.

Actually, this idea was mine. I suggested it to P'Din, thinking it would be
a solution."

"Like this?"

Tippapha asked with a curious tone as she looked at Wayo, who had
broken the silence during dinner. Although it was clear that the environment
was a little uncomfortable, she didn’t know how to start a conversation
with someone she wasn’t very close to. It was then that Wayo brought
up the topic, immediately catching her attention.

"The situation is complicated. I suggested that P'Din propose to you

because it was the only way to resolve the problem."

"And how would marriage solve all this?"

"You are the sole heir of Thipakorn, and as such you have become a target
for greedy people, such as members of the rival farm, Nabanan. If
you marry P'Din, they will understand that everything you own is under her
protection, which will increase your security. They will retreat, believing
that they no longer have a direct way to target you."

Page 89 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"So the marriage proposal was all planned and based on your
suggestion?"

"Yes, but I apologize if P'Din failed to explain it properly, leading to

misunderstandings."

"So that's it... I already thought it was strange that she asked me to
marry her, since we've known each other for such a short time."

Tippapha laughed, but clearly trying to hide his mixed feelings.

Perhaps Wayo realized that, in fact, she felt embarrassed and even a little
disappointed for having interpreted the proposal as something more romantic
than it really was.

"Now that you understand better, would you accept to marry P'Din?"

"I understand the reasons, but I believe marriage should be based on

love, not just necessity."

Tippapha sighed. Like any woman, she dreamed of a marriage that was
made out of love, something special and unique, and not out of
convenience.

"If you wait for love, it might be too late, Khun Rose. Besides, it would
only be a sham marriage.
In the future, if you meet someone you really want to be with, you
can explain the situation to that person. They will understand."

"If accepting this marriage will only bring me trouble and put P'Din in
danger, I will not agree."

"P'Din has already decided to protect you, and there's no turning back now."

Page 90 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Tippapha fell silent, acknowledging the truth in those words. P'Din

had gone to such lengths to protect her that it seemed impossible to
back down. But was it really necessary to continue? Using a sham marriage
to solve the problem seemed more of a burden than a solution.

"If you think that's the only solution, Khun Wayo, I'll think about it. But I still
hope to find another way to solve everything without having to have a
fake marriage."

"Of course, if you really don't want to, we'll think of another solution.
There must be a way to deal with enemies without involving marriage."

"Thank you. I'll think about it."

"Isn't Khun Rose sleepy? I can barely keep my eyes open."

"Moddaeng, go to sleep. You don't have to keep me company."

"But P'Din asked me to..."

"If you're yawning so much, stop insisting. Go to bed, Moddaeng. I'll wait for
P'Din alone."

Tippapha ordered Moddaeng, who hesitated, insisting on staying by her

side. Since nine o'clock, Tippapha had been sitting and waiting for Din.
Dinner, which had finished around seven, was already far away, and
even Khun Wayo had retired to rest. She was the only one left in the house,

Page 91 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

no sign of P'Din from noon until almost eleven at night.

Did P'Din plan to spend the whole day and night with Khun Kaew?

"Then, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rest. Khun Rose, don't stay up
too late, okay?"

"Yes I know."

The owner of the beautiful face crossed her arms, deep in thought. She
had a lot on her mind lately. Just dealing with the problems related to her
father and the people at Nabanan Farm was enough to make her
restless. And now there was the matter of marriage, brought up by P'Din.
After listening to the explanations and reasons from Khun Wayo, who
confessed to being the originator of the idea, Tippapha became even
more confused.

Although she was certain that she would refuse P’Din outright, her
resolve began to waver after talking to Wayo. But that didn’t
mean she had changed her mind or decided to accept. As I said
before, marriage is a very important milestone in a woman’s life. Even if it
was just a facade, it would still, in fact, be her first marriage.

"Dad, I really wish you would wake up soon, because I'm so confused
right now."

"At this time, the lights in the room are still on. It seems like Khun Rose is
waiting for someone."

Page 92 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

"Don't worry, Kaew. Today, I'm sure Rose won't forgive me."

"Is something going on, P'Din? Today I noticed that you were distracted
by work, not very focused."

It was true. Kasama knew that her attention to work was not as it should
be. She only had herself to blame for letting other problems invade her
thoughts.
Since the morning, the tension with Tippapha, who avoided talking
to clarify things, left her restless.
Furthermore, the fact that she had suggested marriage without
explaining her reasons made Kasama worried that it might be misinterpreted
or cause Tippapha to view her differently. “It’s nothing.”

"Do you think Kaew was right that I let P'Din drive alone tonight, even though
she's the boss?"

"I don't see Kaew as just an assistant. To me, Kaew is a friend." "That's
because you've always

been like this, kind. That's why the people close to you feel that way. My
father says that everyone on the farm respects you a lot."

"You don't have to praise me so much. I'm not that amazing."

"Just the fact that P'Din paid for my treatment is something I'm very
grateful for."

"It was my responsibility, Kaew. But what about the wound? It's getting
better, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is. The swelling has gone down a lot. My wrist should be better in
a few days, and then I'll be able to drive to P'Din again."

Page 93 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Afraid that Kasama wouldn’t believe that her condition was

improving after the incident the night before, Kaew, who had
undergone a medical examination on behalf of her boss, lifted her
bangs to show the swelling on her forehead. Having worked together for
years, Kaew acted naturally, not thinking that it might seem inappropriate
for someone new to the farm. “P’Din!”

"Nong Rose?"

Kasama turned at the call, which sounded more urgent than usual. As
if Rose was afraid she wouldn’t hear it, even though she was close by.
Tippapha ran over to her and Kaew, who were talking in front of the house.

"Good evening, Khun Rose."

"P'Din is overloading Kaew with work, isn't he?"

"What?"

"It's almost midnight, and Kaew is still working tirelessly."

If she hadn't come out to ask directly, perhaps P'Din and Kaew would have
continued talking until the next day. Why did they need to talk so
much? From noon until now, almost twelve hours, and it still wasn't
enough?

"It's nothing like that, Khun Rose. I'm used to working like this."

"Kaew seems to trust P'Din a lot."

"Yes, Nong Rose. I trust you completely..."

Page 94 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

Kaew gave Kasama a discreet glance, as if asking her

to deal with the situation. This made Kaew hesitate, as if
sending a signal for Kasama not to explain further. Or had
Kasama said something that sounded wrong to Tippapha,
who was new to the environment and was still adjusting?

"But why hasn't Nong Rose gone to sleep yet? Today you
came back later than usual."
"I'm waiting for you."

"Waiting for me? Why?"

"I want to talk about what we discussed earlier today. If
we don't resolve this, I won't be able to sleep."
"Then I'll take my leave so you can talk in private."

"No need, Kaew. Since you're P'Din's close aide, you can
stay and listen."
Kasama and Kaew exchanged confused looks. They didn’t know why
Tippapha wanted to discuss something so important at this
moment, but if she insisted that Kaew could hear, it certainly wasn’t
something private.

"This morning, P'Din asked me to marry him."

"Nong Rose, about that... Let me explain..."

"No need to explain, P'Din. Just listen. I already have an

answer."

"What?"
If she didn't want to hear explanations, Kasama could
only imagine that the answer would be a refusal. Even so,
she was already prepared to accept any decision. Still

Page 95 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

So, I would need to find another way to resolve the

situation later.
"I'll marry you, P'Din."
"..."

"Let's get married as soon as possible."

Chapter 5

Start of the official battle

“Nong Rose, this is Auntie. And this one is Nong Rose.”

“Hi, auntie.”

The afternoon of a new day began with surprises beyond

expectations, after another important guest arrived at
Saenrak Farm, intending to meet

Page 96 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

with P'Din, accompanied by a person who could no longer avoid

the situation. Even though Tippapha tried to dodge and stay away,
since P'Din was nearby, she could not escape for long.

P'Din asked her to go out and talk to everyone.

Last night, she really couldn't sleep after she had blurted out those
unexpected words impulsively. Not only did P'Din hear it, but her
assistant, Madam Kaew, was also there and heard everything,
ready to bear witness to what she had said that she wanted to marry Din
as soon as possible.

Tippapha also didn’t know why she had acted that way and said those
words without thinking. Although she had been thinking and feeling
confused all day, and had talked to Mrs. Wayo, it didn’t make her
understand the situation any better. But it only took her a few seconds to
accept the proposal and commit to the marriage. Furthermore, Mrs.
Kaew seemed very happy with the news and offered to help with the
planning in any way she could. Then she hurried to tell everyone on
the farm the good news before Tippapha had time to intervene,
since Mrs. Kaew was the daughter of the chief of the workers.

Or if she shouted to Din, saying that the previous words had been
caused by a possession, would she believe it and put the marriage aside?

And maybe that would make her seem like an indecisive person. But if
she didn't say anything, she would also seem like a woman who was too
easy. It was a difficult situation.

“Hi, are you the Nong Rose that Din mentioned she’s getting married to?”

Page 97 of 413
Machine Translated by Google

“Yes, that’s what she told me last night.”

“Did Din talk to Auntie about this yesterday?”

“Yes, after Nong Rose said that she wanted to quickly marry her, she
was at a loss for what to do.
So after we parted ways, she went to look for Madam Kaew to
ask, but Madam Kaew didn’t know what to say either, so she
couldn’t help.”

Mrs. Kaew explained the situation from the previous night, which left
Tippapha feeling confused and restless. After she gave such an
unexpected answer about marriage, a person who had no experience with
marriages like her was completely at a loss and had to ask for help from
someone more experienced, like Mrs. Wayo.

Mrs. Wayo seemed to be the most experienced among them, as she

often talked about marriage and future plans, but to her surprise, Mrs.
Wayo said that she had never thought about it and advised her to ask for
help from her cousin Apo, who was irritated at being interrupted during
her rest. She explained that if she did not get enough rest, it would affect
her work.

“Madam Kaew didn’t expect Nong Rose to be so impatient. This made Din
anxious, not knowing what to do.”

“Madam Kaew, I can explain. P’Din and the wedding, I said…”

“Auntie has already made the list. The wedding can be organized in a
week at most.”

The aunt seemed to understand her hesitation and concerns. She wrote
things down in the notebook with clear and neat handwriting.

Page 98 of 413

organized and, with the confidence of someone with experience, said to

the girl:

“Don’t worry, Rose. I guarantee the wedding will be perfect. Trust in my

ability, okay?”

“Are you the wedding planner?”

“No, dear Rose. I own a hotel and resort in Prachuap.”

“In our hotel, we have already organized hundreds of weddings.

The one about you and Din

it won't be difficult.”

“So, let’s begin! Tell me what Din and I should do.”

Tippapha watched the chaos around her, everyone so busy. Din and
Apo were discussing the wedding seriously. Mrs. Wayo was busy
trying to convince Mrs. Atjima to answer the phone. Everyone
was so focused on helping her that who would dare say they didn’t
want to get married now?

Although it was a fictitious marriage, she would become Din's wife in

less than a week, becoming the owner of the Saenrak farm.

And she would always be P'Din's "Nong Rose" in the eyes of everyone
around her.

"P'Din, you don't need to worry."

Page 99 of 413

"I can't help but worry, Nong Rose, because this wedding is very
important."

"I know, but we're not really getting married."

"Yes, I know we are not really getting married as a couple, but it is

necessary for everyone around us to believe that. Otherwise, our
plans and intentions may be in vain."

Kasama quickly glanced at the person in front of her, the owner of the
beautiful face sitting in the car seat next to the driver. After a day of
shopping in the city, including a visit to the wedding dress shop, she decided
to take the opportunity to take the girl to buy what she was missing, before
stopping by the last destination: the wedding shop recommended by
Apo in Chiang Rai.

"P'Din, you mean...?"

"For Nong Rose's safety, no one can know that we are getting married out of
necessity, not even the people closest to us. We cannot trust them too
much. Because at this moment, we do not know if any of the
'Mahattanakorn' have anyone spying on them or passing information to them."

"Not even Moddaeng can know, P'Din?"

"Yes, it's important that Moddaeng believes that you are really marrying me."

"What about Mrs. Kaew? Aren't you going to tell her too?"

Tippapha asked in a teasing tone of voice. After hearing that she was
forbidden from telling anyone close to her, she wanted to know if Din had a
double standard. She never understood why she felt strange and
unreasonable every time she

Page 100 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

heard Kaew's name or saw the closeness between the two.

Ever since she had learned that Kaew was P'Din's assistant, someone
she trusted very much, and had heard stories about her from Uncle Kla,
Tippapha had been restless and unable to explain exactly what
she felt.

She just knew she didn't like it.

I didn't like it and I didn't like it!

"I just told Kaew about the problem you have

with the

Mahattanakorn, but I haven't told her about the fact that we're not
actually getting married, and I don't intend to tell her."

"That's good, Din. We shouldn't trust those closest to us too much

either."

"Besides you and me, only Kaew, Lom, and Fai know about this secret.
Because you are my family, and I want everyone to accept Nong Rose as
part of our family too."

"..."

"This way, Nong Rose will feel more secure knowing that she is not
facing these problems alone."

Regardless of everything, P'Din had always cared more about others

than herself. It was just like when they were children, she had always
cared about Rose, even without realizing that she was showing
affection. As a child, she had not been able to fully understand this
affection, but now Tippapha felt that she could perceive P'Din's
gentleness and kindness.

These feelings were not an obstacle for her.

Page 101 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

As Moddaeng had told her, someone like P'Din could easily win
anyone's heart. And she had also heard Kaew comment that all the farm
workers loved Kasama, the owner of Saenrak Farm.

This meant that if she had the opportunity to be closer to her,

perhaps someday she might fall in love with P'Din...

No, she wouldn't let herself be carried away by those feelings. She just
needed to remember that she was getting married to cover up the situation,
so as not to get involved and end up allowing her feelings to get too deep.
After all, when everything came to an end, according to the agreement
they made, she and P'Din would have to go their separate ways.

She wouldn't let her heart give itself to P'Din!

"It's done! I can't believe the wedding dress looks so good on you. Usually
dresses need to be tailored, but this one fit perfectly, without any
alterations. And it still looks beautiful, it suits you so well."

"Does this dress suit me?"

"It does match! It almost looks like it was made especially for you. If you
choose this one, you will definitely be the most beautiful bride at the
wedding."

Tippapha smiled shyly at the large mirror, feeling a little embarrassed

after receiving so many compliments from the bridal shop employee.
The reason she

Page 102 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Choosing a ready-made wedding dress was the urgency with which

the wedding needed to be organized. With the time being tight, it
would be impossible to have a custom-made dress made in time.
Furthermore, Tippapha's situation did not allow for waiting any
longer, as Wayo had anticipated.

The people on the farm side had been quiet lately, which made
her feel strangely uneasy, as if it were the silence before a great
storm. Because of this, she and P'Din needed to hurry up with the
preparations to ensure that everything was done correctly and
according to the law, without giving any room for the Mahattanakorn
to interfere in any way.

"Is the dress okay, Nong Rose?"

"I'm coming, P'Din."

Hearing Din’s soft voice asking, Tippapha snapped out of her thoughts
and walked over to her, lifting the hem of her dress to make it
easier for her to move. She liked the wedding dress, which
had a simple and elegant design: a dress with thin straps and a
flowing skirt, which gave her a princess-like air, without exaggerating
her body shapes like other dresses previously suggested. She
had refused those, and Din helped her choose with the
same taste.

"What do you think of this dress, P'Din?"

"It's beautiful."

"Then, I'll choose this one. On the wedding day, with makeup and
hair, it will look even more beautiful. Today, I haven't prepared
anything yet."

"Will it get any prettier than this?"

Page 103 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"What's this? Are you kidding me, P'Din? Today I just came to try
on the dress, and now you're saying that I'm not pretty enough to match the
wedding dress, right?"

"No, Nong Rose, you look beautiful."

"It's too late to praise now! You're afraid of being scolded, aren't you?"

Kasama looked closely at the younger woman who was approaching

and stopping right in front of her, a short distance away. Tippapha playfully
crossed her arms and looked at her with a defiant look, already knowing
that her comment about “not being ready” could have been
misinterpreted. She hadn’t really said she was ugly, just that she wasn’t
fully prepared for the bridal look at that moment, but as always, she
ended up not being clear, which led to misunderstandings. This was a
weak point of hers, as she wasn’t very good at communicating.

Kasama, on the other hand, wanted to correct this, to avoid

misunderstandings in the future. She thought that she should start
correcting misunderstandings with her now.

"Even if the marriage is just a sham, the truth is that you are the
most beautiful bride, Nong Rose."

"..."

"I already warned you, P'Din, that it's too late for compliments now!"

Page 104 of 413

"You're back, Rose, Din! They bought a lot of stuff. Let

Moddaeng help carry it into the house."
The pretty-faced woman stared at Moddaeng who quickly ran
to grab several bags from the trunk of the five-door jeep,
Din's favorite car.
Looking around, the farm had many cars, but the yellow jeep
seemed to be Din’s most frequent car, especially when she
traveled alone. Even Mrs. Kaew, when she worked with
Din, used another car, as Auntie Chan said that Din was very
protective of this jeep and wouldn’t let anyone else drive it.

"Moddaeng, where are the other people? I don't see any

cars around here."
"Auntie Chan said her mother had an urgent appointment
and went back to Prachuap. She said she will be back in three
days to help with the wedding preparations. Mrs. Lom went to
attend to some matter but did not say when.

would come back."

"Rose, let me hold it."

"Don't worry, Din. These bags are light, I'll carry them
myself."

"No problem. I'll help."

"Rose and Din, there's no need to fight. I can handle it."

Tippapha glared at Moddaeng, who was trying to grab the bag

that she and Din were arguing about who would hold. Moddaeng
still gave her a mischievous smile that irritated her to the point
that she almost wanted to slap her forehead to make her stop
making that expression. But since she couldn't say what she
thought, she had to let it go.

Page 105 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

that everyone on the farm would believe that she and Din were really
about to get married in a few days, as everyone had imagined.

"Din, look at Moddaeng! Now she doesn't even believe me.

This is going to be a lot of work."

"If Moddaeng has already helped with the bags, then let's go
inside, Rose. That way we can have dinner."

Kasama spoke in a soft voice, and the beautiful bride nodded in agreement.
She and Din began walking into the house, but the sound of a pickup truck
approaching caught their attention. The vehicle parked in front of
the house and the driver turned off the engine before coming towards them.

"Fai, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"Din, who is Rose?"

"It's me, hello Fai."

"Rose, if you're going to get married, come marry me."

"What?!"

"I won't let Din get upset because of me."

"..."

The beautiful woman quickly walked away, trying to compose

herself after having to face Fai personally.
She had only seen Fai's image in photos, but the real person
was quite different from what she imagined. Fai was much bolder and
more direct than Apo and Wayo.

If Din was as firm and resolute as her name, Kasama, the aunt seemed
to be the deep and reserved type of person,

Page 106 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

like Apo, while Mrs. Lom, more outgoing and friendly, was well suited to
the name Wayo.

"Let's not talk about this here, Fai. Let's talk in private."

"I have nothing to talk to Din about. I want to talk to Rose."

"Fai, please."

But who could have imagined that Fai would be so impetuous and direct,
like his name, to the point of defying everything that had happened
until now?

“Wasu! Stop! You can’t cause any more trouble now.”

“And you’re going to let Din act like a dog and take Rose away? There’s
no way I’m going to let her marry Rose. Rose is mine!”

“There’s already a plan, right? Don’t forget that I trust you, but you’ve
already failed twice.”

“I don’t care. I just want to finish Din off on her wedding day.
Anyone who dares to defy me will die.”

“Even if Din dies, you’ll still end up in prison.

Even with my contacts helping, with witnesses on the scene, do you think
that will be enough to escape, Wasu?”

“Ah, damn it! Nothing goes as planned because of you, Din. I'm going to
kill you.”

Page 107 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Wasu cursed, utterly frustrated and angry, after hearing the good
news about the Watinwanich event, who must have been feeling
victorious because they thought they had defeated the Mahattanakorn,
spreading the news of the marriage far and wide. But if Kasama
thinks she can easily get another man's bride, not only will she not get
everything from Amornjinda, but she will soon end up dead.

“If you don’t want to end up in jail now, don’t cause trouble. You’ve
escaped previous charges, but the police are keeping an eye on you,
especially because Inspector Wayo is making things difficult. What you
should do is keep quiet, Wasu. This time, I’ll take care of it.”

“What can you do? In a few days, Din is going to marry Rose, and
she has already announced it to everyone, inviting many. She won’t back
out or cancel unless she receives death as a gift. Then she’ll see
that she messed with the wrong person!”

“Tomorrow I will talk to Kasama at Saenrak Farm.”

“And you think Din will want to negotiate with you?”

“Don’t worry, Wasu. I know her weak point that will make her give in.”

Wasu's father smiled with superiority. Even though Wasu looks like him, his
father believes there is no comparison, as Wasu is still
impulsive and makes hasty decisions, prone to mistakes. To
accomplish something great, one needs patience.

“Let’s see if Kasama will let the Watinwanich honor be trampled and
criticized just because of Thip’s daughter!”

"Fai, please."

"What's wrong, P'Lom?"

"Looks like you've stopped making faces at Rose."

"Fai isn't doing anything, don't jump to conclusions."

"Anyway, I'm going to marry Rose. We've talked about it, so I'd like
you to respect my decision."

"I know, P'Din, P'Lom, and I'm cooperating, aren't I?"

Fai was helping out by volunteering to be the photographer and capture

beautiful images at Saenrak Farm during the event. The next morning,
he planned to photograph the atmosphere at Chomchan Farm so
that the wedding would have a realistic feel. It was Khun Apo’s idea,
who suggested decorating the event with beautiful photos of the couple.
Wayo was the one who suggested that you, Atjima, help with the
photography, because you like taking photos but don’t like being
photographed.

"P'Din, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, Rose."

"Seriously, Din, does Fai hate me?"

"No, he just has a kind of serious face, but when he gets closer, he
becomes friendly. He doesn't hate you."

Page 109 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Although, in reality, Atjima looks at her with an expression of dissatisfaction.

If before she thought that P'Din had an impassive face and few facial
expressions, when she meets Apo, who is even more serious, and Atjima,
who always has an indifferent expression, she realizes that P'Din
seems like a friendly person. Not to mention Wayo, who is always
smiling, even Moddaeng says that she is charmed by Lom's smile,
and she is already tired of hearing it.

"Khun Din, there is a visitor."

"Who is it? I already told Kaew that I wouldn't go to the office

today."

"Kaew will bring the documents to you at the home office, and Mr.
Wasupon has just arrived."

"Is he with someone? Wasu came?"

"No, he came with two assistants, and is now waiting in the

drawing room."

"These guys had the nerve to come all the way here? They don't
seem trustworthy, P'Din.
Let me go with you."

"No need, Lom and Fai, stay here with Rose. I'll leave her in your care,
I'll talk to him alone."

Kasama declined Rose's offer of help and entrusted the handling of

Rose to Wayo and Atjima, as he did not know whether Mr. Wasupon was
there to cause trouble or draw attention. Furthermore, one could
not underestimate the situation even if Wasu did not come.

"Are you going alone, P'Din?"

Page 110 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Trust me, Rose, stay here with Lom and Fai."

Although she was worried and unable to rest easy with P'Din's
assurance that she could handle the situation, Tippapha did not
want to be a greater burden to her since she had been causing her
a lot of trouble. She should follow P'Din's instructions for her safety
and wait for her with confidence.

"Take care, P'Din."

"Are you here, Khun Kasama?"

"Hello, Mr. Wasupon."

"It's been a while since we saw each other. The last time must have
been at Mr.
"Kiss."

"Yes, the last time I saw you was at my father's funeral."

Kasama remembered the words he had spoken, realizing that Wasupon

intended to cause her some significant emotional loss.
However, she knew that Mr.
Wasupon mentioned these past events to highlight a great loss in
her life. He intended to make her seem weak and susceptible, but
this was a misjudgment, for she was strong enough to handle the situation
and would face Mr. Wasupon and his son without fear.

If she had been afraid, she would not have taken direct action
from the moment the news of the marriage was released until it
reached the ears of everyone at Nabanan Farm. Because,

Page 111 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Obviously, the other side would not sit idly by and would
certainly try to stop the wedding somehow. The fact that Mr.
Wasupon had come to see her in person was not
exactly unexpected.
"I believe you already know what you did, or at least you can
guess why I'm here."
"I don't know, Mr. Wasupon. Perhaps you could explain clearly
the purpose of your visit to Saenrak Farm."

"I came because of Mr. Thipakorn's daughter, whom you forcibly

brought here."
"This information is definitely wrong. Rose came to Saenrak
Farm of her own free
will. There was no use of force, as you might imagine."

"But what you did is not right. You took advantage of Mr.
Thipakorn's serious illness to bring Tippapha here. It doesn't
matter whether it was of your own free will or not, what you
should know is that there was already an agreement between
our families, intended for Wasu and Tippapha to marry."

"And why are you telling me this?"

Kasama maintained her composure, showing no emotions on
her face, while Wasupon began to show irritation at being
contradicted by her. Wanting to see how far Mr. Wasupon
could maintain his role as a benefactor and while assessing his
real intentions.
"To inform you that the marriage between you and Mr.
Thipakorn will not happen, as long as the
Watinwanich family has honor and dignity to preserve, they
will not violate the agreement with Mahattanakorn and Amornjinda,

Page 112 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

agreed upon by previous generations, acting without scruples."

"But if the marriage is to the liking of both Watinwanich and Amornjinda, it

cannot be considered disrespectful, right? A marriage based on past
promises, only verbal and not recorded in documents, can easily be
compared to Mr.

Thipakorn asking to leave Rose in my care before the accident."

If he wanted to use old promises as an argument, Mr. Thipakorn's recent

request to Kasama carried more weight in reality. Therefore, the
marriage between Kasama and Tippapha could not be considered an
opportunistic act by the Watinwanich family, nor something to dishonor
their reputation.

"If Mahattanakorn releases this to the public, you will only lose from
it, don't let anyone say that Kasama is selfish and ill-mannered. Even if Mr.
Kasidit and his mother are no longer here, don't make negative comments
about them."

“...”

"Or is it that you, Kasama, are proud of being the one who steals
other people's brides without shame?"

"The shameless and ill-mannered person is not Din, Mr.

Wasupon."

Tippapha couldn't help herself and joined in the conversation, even after
Wayo and Atjima tried to
stop her. Knowing that Din didn't forbid her from coming, she followed and
heard how severe the accusations against Din were, unable to just listen.

Page 113 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Rose."

"Sorry to overhear this conversation, but I need to defend the person I

want to marry."

"What do you mean?"

"I will not marry Wasu for promises I never knew, and even if I did, I
would not accept."

"And are you going to marry Kasama?"

"Yes, please inform Wasu. And if you don't mind, I'll invite you to
the wedding as well."

"You just came back and you don't know him deeply..."

"Yes, I know it well enough. Despite the short time, I am certain."

Rose held Din’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder, intentionally showing
affection. Under other circumstances, she might have hesitated,
but she was determined to defend Din in the face of Mr. Wasupon’s
harsh words, reminding him of the family’s teachings of politeness and
courtesy.

If Kasama seemed defenseless at times, she was ready to protect

Din in her own way!

“...”

"Because Din is the person I love and the person I'm going to marry."

Chapter 6

The bright and sparkling bride

"Impressive, Rose. That answer left Mr.

Wasupol was a bit disconcerted. I bet he was stunned and that's
why he had to quickly leave the farm."

"Not quite, Lom. Compared to P'Din, I really haven't done much."

Tippapha said this modestly, thinking that her previous impulsive

reaction was not something that deserved so much praise or appreciation.
Compared to what P'Din had done for her, her actions seemed
insignificant, and all she wanted was to protect someone who had
been so good to her.

It was like when she confronted Mr. Wasupon without caring how rude
her attitude might be in the eyes of the elders. After all, the person who
had been disturbing and

Page 115 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

The one who had been threatening her since she returned to the
country was precisely Wasu, Mr. Wasupon's son, to the point that P'Din
had to intervene to protect her. So who was it that hadn't been raised
properly by their parents? She was sure it wasn't P'Din.

"But if you, Rose, hadn't spoken up, I was afraid that P'Din wouldn't be able
to deal with the Mahatthanakorn family's people. Just hearing it made
me angry, afraid that Din wouldn't be able to respond in time."

"P'Din, you're okay, aren't you?"

"Yes I am well."

Kasama snapped out of her mental confusion as if she had lost track
of time and only regained her senses when Rose called out to her.
Only then did she realize that she had pulled away from the sudden
contact that had exposed the situation in front of Mr. Wasupon.

"But thinking about it, P'Din is really skilled, not only did he deal with Mr.
Wasupon for so long, he also refused to greet and bid farewell to
the guests."

Although she wanted to deny Wayo’s compliments, saying that everything

that had happened was beyond her expectations and that she did not intend
to start a fight or challenge Mr. Wasupon, her apparent immobility was
probably due to Tippapha’s overwhelming attitude. Her closeness
and sweet affection left her speechless, especially when Tippapha
said that he loved her and wanted to marry her. Although she understood
that Rose had said that to protect her, she could not help but feel confused
and shaken.

Page 116 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"But I don't think they will give in or give up so easily. Mr. Wasupon
is more unpredictable than Wasu.
P'Din, you must promise Rose that you will be more careful
from now on."

"Yes, I promise."

"Even if I'm weak and can't protect myself, causing Din to worry, I'll
protect you too. I won't let anyone hurt you, I promise."

Wayo turned and nudged Atjima, who was standing nearby, silent as
if she wasn’t part of the situation, before gesturing for her to look at
Din. Although Wayo was the main mastermind and planner of the
fake wedding, the excessive concern and promise of protection
were beyond the plan.

Just like now, noticing Kasama's strange expression, undecided on

how to react after Tippapha took her hands affectionately and offered a
sincere promise.

"Fire accepts."

"What?"

"Fire says he accepts P'Din's marriage to Rose."

"Thank you so much for understanding the reasons."

"And I will also accept Rose without reservation."

"..."

What made Atjima change her attitude and accept her presence in such
a surprising way, including the first genuine smile from the youngest
of the Watinwanich family? She wasn't sure if it was a truly sincere
smile, but

Page 117 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Tippapha felt a chill down her spine when Atjima smiled at

her.

"Little Rose"

"Huh? Are you referring to me, Fire?"

She looked around, left and right, and saw no one around other
than herself. Still, to be sure, she thought she heard Fire’s
unexpectedly friendly voice greeting her. This was after
yesterday’s photoshoot had to be suspended due to Mr.
Wasupon’s unexpected arrival.

Today, they came to take photos in the flower field of their

forest, Chomchan.

"Yeah, just me and little Rose here."

"Why did you call me little Rose? P'Din said I'm older than you."

"It doesn't matter how old you are. Someone as cool as me can
call you little one."
"..."

It was true as P’Din had said, that when Atjima opened up to

someone, she would be friendly. Tippapha had not
expected this friendship to come so suddenly and
surprisingly. And, more importantly, Fire was smiling at her
again.

It was a smile that, even when smiling, seemed defiant!

"Did you come to tease Rose early this morning?"

Page 118 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"No, Lom. I just came to say good morning to our little Rose."

"Don't worry about it, Rose. Fire may look tough, but she's the most childish."

"And P'Din, where is he?"

Tippapha asked Wayo, who was chatting amicably with Atjima, before
Atjima deflected and refused to be the older cousin when provoked.

The two were about to start a fight, but were interrupted by Tippapha, who
asked about the important person that day.

"She said she would change her clothes and come. Look, there she is
now."

"Sorry to keep you waiting, little Rose."

"P'Din, did you change your clothes?"

"Yes, yesterday I realized that the suit didn't match Rose's wedding
dress very well. So I went to the store to get a new one."

"You didn't have to go to all that trouble. Why change and cause all this
trouble, Din?"

"She's a perfectionist in everything, that's why, Rose. You'll get used to

it."

I don't even need to hear what Wayo said, I've gotten used to Din's attention
to detail. She always tries to combine and harmonize everything
in the best way, even for a fake wedding. But it makes me feel warm and
happy, almost as if it were a real wedding.

Page 119 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Rose didn't regret or feel sad about choosing to marry P'Din...

"Let's stop talking, otherwise the sun will be strong and the
photos won't come out well, Din, little Rose."

"Little Rose?"

"Ever since earlier, Fire has been calling me that, Din."

Kasama gave a curious look as she saw Rose approaching
to strike up a conversation as they walked to the corner of the Chomchan
Forest’s flower field. It was the best spot to take photos, with a beautiful
pavilion that was usually used by tourists visiting the farm.

It was a central setting surrounded by flower fields, a romantic

location that Atjima suggested for the shoot after surveying the
entire area. They said that this location was perfect for pre-
wedding photos.
"Come a little closer, please. The way they are, the photos
don't look like a couple."

"Now, is it okay, Fire?"

"Even closer, Rosa, Din. Just a little closer."

"Din, hug Rose, don't leave your hands at your sides.

Don't be stiff."
"Enough! You're all being demanding, Lom, Fire.
You need to respect Rose."

"It's nothing, P'Din. As long as the photos look realistic, I agree."

She felt sorry for Din, who was being held down by them and
was so stiff that he looked like he was about to salute the
national flag, as Wayo described.

Page 120 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

P'Din had always been responsible, he had never taken advantage, nor
had he dared to touch her without permission. Therefore, she simply
clasped her hands in front of him respectfully.

"But..."

"It's okay, Din."

Even though she was allowed to, Din was hesitant, raising his arm
without actually embracing her. So, she helped her by moving into
her circle, smiling at Atjima's camera after finding the right position, like
a real couple according to the briefing. But it seemed like a new problem
had arisen.

"P'Din, smile a little. With that serious face, someone might think you don't
want to get married."

"Lom, don't push her so hard."

"But Rose wants to see you smile too. Since I got back, I haven't seen you
smile, Din."

"Someone as full of joy as Rose asking me to smile doesn't seem

right. I've never seen that."

"Even if it doesn't look like it, Rose wants to see. Please, Din, smile for
me. Say 'cheese' if you need to."

"Cheese......"

P'Din's hesitant smile might be funny to some, making Wayo laugh

and Atjima almost fall backwards, but for Rose, seeing Din smile...

It made her world brighter and full of light instantly.

And finally the long-awaited day arrived. The wedding became the link
that united the Amornjinda and Watinwanich families into one.
Many guests came
congratulate the two brides at today's event, with Kasama and
Tippapha tirelessly welcoming guests. This included workers
from both farms who came to express their joy for their employers.

“Rose dear, are you tired?”

“I'm fine, P'Din.”

“It was Aunt’s idea to hold a grand ceremony that would become the
center of attention, suggesting that we invite many influential
guests from society to witness the event. That way, the wedding could go
off smoothly and without incident.”

“Your aunt, Kasama, and Fire planned everything carefully.

After the event, Rose will have to thank everyone.”

Tippapha spoke to Din, who accompanied her to the reception with a smile
of satisfaction, as all of Din’s family and friends helped her in every way
they could. From her aunt who organized the wedding impeccably in just
one week, to Wayo who came up with the plan to bring in plainclothes
police officers to ensure security, to Atjima who took care of the photographs
displayed at the event. Everything looked so authentic that it was hard
to believe it was a fake wedding.

“Don’t worry, everyone did it willingly.”

“Even if you say that, I still feel a little embarrassed.”

“I already said that we are all part of the same family now."

"As?"

“From today onwards, Amornjinda will no longer be alone.

Watinwanich will be by your side.”

“Thank you, Din. Even though our marriage is just a fantasy, I feel
really safe.”

Truly safe, feeling Din's hand holding hers. Kasama's hands weren't as soft
as hers, always cared for and never having done heavy work, but they still
conveyed a gentle sense of comfort, security and the certainty that
choosing to share life with her was the right decision.

Am I too caught up in the role of Din’s bride? “It’s a grand event, a flashy

wedding that echoed throughout the district. I came to see for myself how
big it could be.”

“No one can enter without being invited!”

“What do you mean? You want to stop someone who came to the
event to offer congratulations?”

"Let them in."

Kasama intervened with the security guards who blocked Wasu and three
of them from entering, as instructed, but Wasu's chatter attracted the
attention of the guests.
Kasama decided to allow entry so that the event could continue
smoothly.

“Rosa is a very beautiful bride.”

“Wasu.”

“What are you afraid of? I just came to congratulate you. Or are you
afraid that you’ll be widowed right after you get married because I want to
shoot you for stealing my bride?”

“Don’t do anything to Din!”

“I’m just kidding. Rose, don’t you have a sense of humor?”

But Tippapha did not find Wasu’s threats funny at all. She had not expected
Wasu to come directly to provoke her on the wedding day. There
was no sign of Mr.
Wasupon, only Wasu appeared confident and fearless.

“Are you going to pose for pictures or not? There’s a photographer waiting.”

“Come this way.”

Kasama moved Tippapha when he noticed Wasu approaching,

protecting the bride and preventing her from feeling uncomfortable.

“Do you think that by inviting the governor I would be afraid of fighting?”

“If you want to cause trouble, try. I guarantee it won't be worth it.”

“I will get Rose back, even if I have to step over your body.”

“If you try anything, you’ll be the one who turns into a corpse before me.”

“You are a wretch for stealing my wife.”

“Rose was never yours and never will be. From today onwards, she is
my wife. Memorize that, Wasu.”

Page 124 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“I swear you won’t have a happy ending, Din!”

Kasama maintained firm eye contact with Wasu, although the tension was
present, the conflict was not favorable.
Wasu growled and sneered before retreating with his cronies, allowing
the event to return to normal.

“P'Din, is everything okay? Did Wasu say something?”

“Nothing to worry about. Don’t worry, Rose. It’s all sorted out.”

From today onwards, I, Kasama, will not let anyone bother or hurt
you again...

"They both exchanged rings with each other."

Today's wedding ceremony was organized in a simple manner, with

the help of Ms. Keo as master of ceremonies, conducting the event as
planned.
The time has come for both of them to exchange rings, chosen a
few days ago to suit both of them.

However, the ring box that Din had recently received from his
aunt seemed strange. It wasn’t the red velvet box they had chosen together,
but one in a dark blue hue, which left Tippapha a little surprised since Din
hadn’t mentioned it before.

"Give me your hand, little Rose."

“P'Din, this isn't the same alliance, right?”

“It wasn’t just the clothes I changed to fit you better, but I had my aunt look
for a ring that would suit you even better.”

“But wasn't that too expensive, P'Din?”

Page 125 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“Since you, Rose, are the best thing in my life, I want

to offer you the best.”
Tippapha admitted that she was very moved by Din's affectionate
voice, leaving her at a loss as to how to respond.
She never thought Din was taking marriage as seriously as she was. She
had turned something fictitious into a genuine display of affection, making
her feel like the luckiest woman in the world.

“I’m so jealous, Rose! This diamond ring is so big! You can see
it shining from here all the way to Chomchan Forest.”
A voice from the audience made everyone laugh, making
Tippapha even more embarrassed, to the point that she almost
couldn't put the correct ring on Din. She was nervous and
inexperienced, but luckily, Din was calm and guided her every
step of the way.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

After the exchange of rings had gone well, people began to ask for a
kiss, encouraging them excitedly as if everyone had
arranged it.
At this point, Tippapha was at a loss for what to do, looking
to Din for help. Din then made a
signal to Mrs. Keo, the master of ceremonies.
"Din and Rose, how about a show of affection? With so many
fans, we can't let you down!"
"..."

Instead of helping, Mrs. Keo incited the crowd even more,

putting the two in the spotlight, with no way out.

“What now, Din? Everyone is looking at us.”

“Don’t worry, Rose, you don’t need to listen to others.”

Page 126 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“But they won’t stop cheering. And Wasu is staring at us.”

“That’s right, Wasu hasn’t left yet.”

“How about a little kiss on the cheek to make everyone happy?

After all, you lived abroad, this is just a normal greeting.”

"..."

To Tippapha, it may have been just a greeting, but to Din, it meant a

lot.
They knew it was a fake wedding just to fool Mahattanakorn. After the
event, Din would have to warn Mrs. Keo about the untimely pranks,
making the situation uncomfortable.

“Quickly, P'Din, before the others get suspicious.”

“Rose, I don’t have the courage...”

A sharp cry of surprise echoed through the Chomchan forest, needing no

smothering, as the beautiful bride, the chief worker, began the gesture,
kissing Kasama lightly on the cheek, leaving a lipstick mark.
Tippapha stepped back to regain control of her racing heart, with no
intention of showing possession.

But why did Kasama look ten times more affected?

"It feels like a dream."

However, the large diamond ring on her left ring finger reminded Tippapha
that everything that happened

Page 127 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Today was real, not just a beautiful dream beyond her imagination.
She never thought that her first marriage, even if it was a
sham, would be so perfect and impressive to the point that she
almost got carried away by emotions.

Even though she faced problems and difficult situations, there were still
positive aspects that gave her hope and strength to face the challenges
ahead. She really didn't know what would have happened if it weren't
for the woman from the farm next door, P'Din, who was always
willing to help and protect her. Otherwise, she might have ended up in
a hellish situation at the hands of the Mahattanakorn family.

"Rose, can I come in?"

"Sure, no need to ask."

"It's in case you're not comfortable."

"But if anyone saw, they might be confused as to why Din would need
permission to enter his own room."

Tippapha stood up to open the door and greet her, who had finished
her duties on the busy wedding day. Din had suggested that
she rest first after the event, as she still needed to bid farewell to
some important guests and talk to her family members before
heading to the room that would be used as the bridal chamber from
today onwards.

"Rose hasn't taken a shower yet?"

"Not yet, Din. Getting married is more tiring than I thought, so I'm
taking a break."

"I intended to organize my things and quietly leave to sleep in Fire's room.
That way you can have the room to yourself."

Page 128 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Don't worry, Din. You can sleep in your room; I'll go back to mine, it's easier
that way. That way you don't have to bother Fire."

"We can't do that. If anyone finds out, they might wonder why we're
sleeping in separate rooms after the wedding."

"That's right, I forgot to think about that."

"Stay here, Rose. I'll find a way to get settled somewhere else."

She really felt guilty about all this care from Din, who was willing to leave
his own room so as not to make her uncomfortable, even though, in practice,
they were a newlywed couple. Not knowing how to solve it, Tippapha felt
guilty and just watched as Din packed his things.

"Then I'll be going, Rose. Get a good rest, it's been a long day since
early."

"You too, P'Din, get plenty of rest."

"Sure. Don't worry, I'll take a shower and go straight to bed."

Kasama said this to Tippapha before taking out a small bag with her
necessary items. She planned to temporarily stay in the guest room
Fire used until she returned to her hometown the next day. But she didn’t
expect to run into Auntie Chan in the hallway, who spotted her and
immediately came over in a hurry.

“It’s time for the wedding night. Where are you going, Din?”

"Ah... I'm thirsty, Aunt Chan, I wanted to drink some water."

Page 129 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Then let me bring it to you. Come in and stay in the room. In the
old days, on your wedding night, you couldn't go out walking around. Stay
together until dawn."

“Then I’ll leave it to you. Thank you, Aunt Chan.”

"Do you need anything other than water? Let me know."

"No, just water. Thank you."

Closing the door softly, Kasama turned to Tippapha, who was smiling
at her fondly, as if sympathizing with the situation she had been
caught in when she had tried to sneak out of the room on their wedding
night.
Tippapha generously proposed something that moved her.

"So how about sleeping here tonight, Din? You don't have to go
anywhere else."

Feeling more and more touched, especially after the kiss given at the
ceremony...

"What are you going to do, Din?"

"I'll sleep on the floor. That way, you can sleep comfortably
in bed."

"No! You should sleep in the bed. Don't make me feel even more guilty
about taking your room, Din."

Din had barely prepared to put the pillow on the floor when the girl
intervened, not allowing her to give up her bed. After their wedding
night, they needed to stay together in the same space to prevent

Page 130 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

the others in the house suspected the fake marriage. In the end, after
they both took a bath and changed their clothes, Kasama had to share
the room with her "bride" without a choice.

"I don't think it's appropriate for the two of us to sleep in the same
bed."

"But it wouldn't be right to let you sleep on the floor and wake up with a sore
back, Din. You were just as tired today as I was at the ceremony."

"But..."

"If it's so uncomfortable, why don't we stay up all night talking and
strengthening our relationship?"

"What?"

Why was Din so surprised and shocked by her suggestion? Didn't it make
sense to suggest that they spend the night talking to get to know each other
better? If she was too uncomfortable to sleep together because she wasn't
used to it, then they could just talk endlessly until they ran out of things
to talk about.

"Don't you want to talk until dawn, P'Din? That way, we can get to know
each other better."

"You mean talk?"

"Yes, why? What did you think I meant?"

"Nothing. I think staying up talking is a good idea."

Kasama sighed in relief like someone who could finally breathe better.
After Tippapha made room on the bed for her, they lay back together, while
she

Page 131 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

She talked tirelessly about her wedding day. Even though she felt exhausted
and heavy-eyed at any moment, Kasama forced herself to stay awake
because she wanted to hear everything the other had to say, and she
had to answer Tippapha's curious questions.

"And you, Rose, besides roses, do you like any other flowers..."

"..."

But who could have imagined that the sleep she had been feeling for a
while would turn into a state of alertness when she felt the head of the
young woman next to her rest on her shoulder?
Kasama remained paralyzed, not knowing what to do, until she gathered
the courage to adjust herself better and provide more comfort so that the
young woman could fall asleep peacefully.

Although the one who said she wasn't sleepy was the first to fall into
a deep sleep, after proposing to stay awake the entire night
during their wedding night, it seemed like the only one who wouldn't be able
to sleep due to the agitation would be Kasama.

"Sleep well, Rose."

And who else could it be but Kasama...

Chapter 7

Happiness brought that person back one more time

time.

It was the morning of the first day of their married life, after a grand wedding
ceremony that had taken place peacefully the day before. It was
also a new morning when Tippapha woke up in a large bed in someone’s
room, not used to her surroundings. The owner of the pretty face who had just
woken up looked around and was relieved to see that, this morning, she
was alone in the room, with no sign of the person she had been talking to all
night.

"Where did P'Din go?"

Page 133 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

She didn't know when she fell asleep, nor did she remember what the last
thing she talked about before falling asleep was. Besides, she hoped she
hadn't done anything shameful or embarrassing while sharing the room on
their wedding night.

Did she, without realizing it, drool, have a restless sleep, talk to herself or, in
the worst case scenario, snore loudly from exhaustion? If that happened,
she wouldn't know where to hide her face. That's exactly why she didn't want
to sleep, but couldn't overcome her exhaustion.

"It's better to go ask P'Din to understand what happened."

Tippapha got out of bed quickly that morning and decided to look for
the only person who could answer her questions. She thought that
P'Din might be having coffee in the dining room or perhaps he was working
in the office, like he did every morning before going to work.

But today, apparently, she was wrong, as the farm owner's routine changed
completely after the wedding.

"Mrs. Rose, you're up early, huh?"

"Aunt Chan, have you seen P'Din? I went to check the office, but I didn't
find her."

"P'Din is in the kitchen right now."

"Is P'Din really in the kitchen?"

"Yes, she woke up early in the morning. P'Din went to the market with his aunt
and said he wanted to make breakfast for you."

Page 134 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"..."

While Tippapha was sleeping peacefully, she discovered that P'Din had
woken up early, done something unexpected, gone shopping with Aunty
Chan, and went to the kitchen to prepare food for her. If she was immersed
in her role as a bride, P'Din was no less involved in the role of a
newlywed.

Waking up to so much attention and affection on the first morning of

her wedding left her emotional...

"Aunt Chan, is Rose awake yet?"

"It's not Aunt Chan, it's me, Rose."

"Rose!"

"Why are you so surprised? I heard from Aunt Chan that you were in
the kitchen, so I wanted to come see for myself."

She wouldn't miss the chance to see a new side of Khun Kasama from
Saenrak Farm, and Tippapha was ready to give P'Din lots of cute notes
upon seeing her so dedicated in the kitchen with an apron, cooking for
her.

"I wanted to surprise you. I didn't think you would wake up so early."

"You're being very discreet, P'Din. I bet rumors have already spread around
the house that you're madly in love."

"You got it wrong, Rose. I wasn't acting."

"Then why are you making breakfast for me? It's usually Auntie Chan
who does it."

"I wanted to do something special for you on our

first morning as a couple." "..."

Page 135 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

P'Din is quite smart, to the point that she felt awkward after
hearing his explanation. How could she refuse his
dedication? Even if her food wasn't as tasty as Aunt
Chan's, she, as an occasional wife, would eat it all so
as not to discourage her.

"Are you hungry, Rose?"

"Not yet. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No need. I want to do everything myself. You just have to

wait to try it out."
"Whoever marries you, P'Din, will be very lucky. You take great
care of people."
She was referring to P'Din's future real wife, someone who
would marry out of genuine love, and not like her, who was a
fake wife to solve problems that arose.

Just thinking about it made me feel a little envious of the

person P'Din would love in the future!
"Actually, I planned to bring you breakfast in your room. But
you woke up early."

"Like in soap operas? P'Din, you can be quite romantic."

"But since you're awake, we can eat in the dining room. I

think my family should wake up to eat with us..."

"I'll pretend I'm back to sleep. When you're done

cooking, you can bring it up to my room."
"Like this?"

"Seeing your effort, I don't want to spoil the surprise, P'Din."

Page 136 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Kasama looked at her as Tippapha spoke excitedly and left

without giving any more room for questions. Then, she began to
prepare breakfast with her limited cooking skills, something she only did on
rare or special occasions, as this was usually Aunty Chan’s daily chore.

"P'Din, you woke up early. I'm hungry, what's there to eat?"

"No, Lom, if you want to eat something, ask Auntie Chan to

make it for you."

"And who is this breakfast for?"

"For Rose."

"So much food, she won't be able to eat it all.

Let me get a sausage..."
"You can't. Otherwise, Rose won't be happy. Get your own
breakfast, Lom!"

Wayo scratched his head in confusion, seeing his cousin so

protective of the food, already putting everything on the tray to
serve his fake wife in the bedroom, while his younger cousin
continued to complain about hunger.

"What are you doing here being nosy, Lom?"

"Fai, I think P'Din has changed."

"Are you delirious this early?"

"Seriously. I think P'Din can't tell the difference
between fiction and reality anymore."
When they helped plan the fake wedding, they didn't
imagine it would look so real that even those who knew the
truth would be confused. Does P'Din remember that it is

Page 137 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

just a fake marriage and who isn't really falling in love with sweet
Rose?

"Even though your father forbade you, Wasu, from getting involved in
their marriage, why did you go there disobeying his
orders? Stop caring about that kind of woman. Rose is not suitable for you."

"I just went to say congratulations, I didn't go to cause trouble."

"Do you think your father doesn't know your true intentions? She's just
a woman. You can find someone better."

Wasupol mentioned Paotiepakar’s daughter with irritation after being

snubbed by Tippapha in front of his elders for protecting Kasama. If
Paotiepakar’s daughter was that kind of woman, he would not
consider her worthy of Wasu or of fulfilling the promise made
by previous generations. It would be better to find a way to take the land of
Chomchan Farm for himself and facilitate his business than to waste time
on an insignificant woman.

"Actually, I just felt a little sorry. But I'm not that interested in Rose. If
she didn't have the right to own Chomchan Farm, I wouldn't even look at
such a bland woman."

"You know the Chomchan Farm issue is more important."

"I know. Besides, something that's defective, even if I get it back, I'm not
interested anymore. You know it was

Page 138 of 413

Rose was the one who betrayed me first. If I had her back, I
would use her until I was satisfied and then discard her or pass
her on to someone who wanted her."

"But she's already someone else's wife. Why would you ruin your reputation
by trying to take her back?"

"Because now Rose's benefits have increased considerably."

Wasu smiled with an air of superiority in this game. If Kasama thinks

that marriage is the best solution, she is mistaken, because, honestly,
he does not even regret losing his fiancée to her. What matters are the
benefits that will grow exponentially from now on, something that is worth
much more to Mahattanakorn than what was lost.

"What do you mean by that, Wasu?"

"They must think that marriage will make Mahattanakorn give up, but the
Watinwanichs are wrong and have made a strategic mistake. Because,
not only will they not get everything they want from Amornjinda, but
everything that belongs to Watinwanich, if Din is no longer in the world,
will end up being Rose's. And when she no longer has Din to protect her,
everything will come to us."

"Wasu, you are truly your father's pride."

"For now, let's let them be happy.

When they let their guard down, they will discover that the end

is getting closer and closer!" If marriage brings

happiness as if you were in paradise...

Soon, I myself will make you descend to hell!

"Moddaeng, you said you would help put things away.

How long are you going to stare at me like that?"

"I still haven't recovered from the happiness. It seems like the couple I
supported finally got together. All the effort to root for them was worth it."

"Those words give me a headache. Help me pack my things

quickly. P'Din must be waiting already."

"Miss Rose, one moment please. May I see the wedding ring up close?
Just once, it will bring me luck."

Tippapha sighed at Moddaeng’s overreaction, and he quickly walked over

to hold her hand and examine the wedding ring. After looking at the
ring, Moddaeng focused on helping her finish packing.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"What did you do in past lives, Miss Rose, to marry someone premium like
P'Din? Ouch!"

"I could have packed my bags faster myself than with your help, Moddaeng."

The beautiful-faced woman lightly slapped the assistant's

forehead to bring her back to reality. It seemed to work, as she and P'Din
needed to travel to Prachuap Khiri Khan that afternoon with Apo.
Apo had suggested that she and P'Din stay at the resort she managed,
part of the Watin Group empire, which was owned by Uncle Adisorn,
Uncle Kasidit's second brother.

Page 140 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Initially, P'Din intended to decline the offer, as he knew she did not
want to travel due to her concern for her father's health and the
desire to visit him in the hospital every morning. However, Wayo
commented that a honeymoon after the wedding would make it more
convincing to others. Even though he had reasons not to decline, P'Din
left the final decision up to her.

After some consideration, she accepted the offer and prepared to travel
with Apo, believing that it would be a good opportunity to relax before
facing future challenges. This was because Mahattanakorn would
not easily give up on acquiring Chomchan Farm. Furthermore, Moddaeng
promised to visit her in the hospital every day for the three days that
she and P'Din were away.

"Miss Rose, did you sleep well last night?"

"What's up this time?" "It's

just that this morning I saw P'Din looking sleepy. She was already
drinking black coffee early in the morning. That means you must have
been pretty tired too, right?"

"Yes, I was so tired that I didn't even realize when I fell asleep."

"My goodness! You fell asleep without realizing it... looks like P'Din was
very diligent in everything."

Tippapha looked at Moddaeng, who put her hand over her mouth with
a funny expression, her mood changing rapidly. She was mumbling
something unintelligible, and Tippapha decided to end the conversation
by giving orders, as she did not want to waste any more time.

"Come on, pick up the suitcase and follow me, Moddaeng."

Page 141 of 413

"P'Din and you, Rose, enjoy your rest in comfort, okay?"

"Thank you very much, aunt. This resort is very beautiful!"

"If there's anything missing or you need anything, you can call your aunt
without hesitation. I'll ask the staff to sort it out."

"I like you very much, aunt."

Kasama thanked her, who took care of all the details of the wedding so that
everything went perfectly well.
In addition, she also helped to arrange their honeymoon stay. It was clear
that the aunt, despite having a busy life and rarely having time to meet her
siblings, did her best to solve the family's problems.

"The ball was brought back. However, while the boss was away, some small
problems arose."

"Let's talk about this in the office, so as not to disturb the customers
here."

Before he could finish speaking, the head of the Watin Group was
called by his assistant as soon as he entered the resort. It didn't take long
for him to realize the influence of his only daughter, Apo, who was also
highly competent and responsible for the growth of the Watin
Group company.

"You work all the time, don't you?"

"The life of an heiress and hotel manager is just like that. I already
knew it would be like that."

"You are amazing. You can organize everything perfectly, even if it's
complicated."

"Among the four siblings, the aunt was always the most intelligent.
If she hadn't studied hotel management, she would probably have
been a doctor. When we were children, while others were playing, she liked
to read. Her memory was so good that if you asked her something, she
would probably answer right down to the decimal point."

"Wow, I believe that! But you were also very good at studying, weren't
you? I remember."

As they walked to their exclusive cabin at the resort, Rose

and she talked about the past. They remembered their
academic achievements and how special their family was.

"Rose, do you still remember this?"

"Yes, I remember when we were kids, you were the best student in
the class. You always stood out."

"Now things have changed a little, maybe I'm not as good as I used to
be.
But you probably don't know that because you went to study abroad."

"That's impossible! You've always been talented and you still are."

"What about you, Rose? Tell me about your experience abroad. We

didn't have time to talk last night, did we?"

Page 143 of 413

"It's true. Yesterday I was so tired that I ended up falling asleep before
telling you."

Rose thanked the resort staff who led them to their private chalet.
Although it was night and the ocean view was not so clear, she was
looking forward to enjoying the next few days of their honeymoon.

"Last night you were very tired."

"And while I was sleeping, I didn't dream or talk anything in my sleep? Tell
the truth, if something funny happened, you can tell it."

"No, you slept straight through! You didn't talk or snore."

"Great! Then we can continue our conversation tonight."

"Okay! Now I'm going to take a shower first."

"Feel free. Leave the clothes for me to put in the closet later."

"Are you really going to go through my suitcase?"

"Of course!"

"It's okay. I have no secrets from you, Din."

With that, Rose trusted her completely and had nothing to hide. However,
she soon realized that there was something embarrassing in her suitcase:
underwear. She tried to stop her, but it was too late.

"My underwear! You didn't have to touch that."

"I only picked it up because it was in the middle of the clothes I

folded."

Page 144 of 413

"It's okay, I'll fix it myself!"

Even though they were women, Rose was embarrassed to see

her going through her personal belongings. She ran to the
bathroom, trying to hide her red face in embarrassment.

"Rose, the bathroom doesn't have a curtain!"

"Did you look properly?"

"I did look, but it's just a transparent glass that you can see from
the room."
Rose was shocked to realize that the glass was
completely transparent, leaving her with no privacy!

Since arriving at Apo's resort, she has been in nothing but

embarrassing situations, exposing herself and making
mistakes in front of Din several times, to the point that Tippapha
didn't even know where to hide her face. In addition, the
bathroom in the house where they were staying put
them in an uncomfortable situation, forcing the two of them to
take turns using it, while the other waited outside, sitting on
the balcony. Normally, Apo lives alone and doesn't care
much about privacy, but for her and Din, who aren't really a
couple, ignoring this would be strange.
Today, she decided to cancel the conversation they planned
to have late into the night, preferring that each of them sleep in
their already divided part of the room. Since they are
both women, sharing the bed would not be strange,
considering their sisterly relationship. She did not know if Din

Page 145 of 413

I thought the same way, but for her, who suggested the deal, it
didn't seem as simple as she said.

The pretty-faced young woman remained lying on her back, not

daring to turn to the side where Din was.
Minutes passed, perhaps ten, perhaps thirty, and she
remained motionless, afraid of disturbing her. Finally,
Tippapha gathered the courage to turn and look at Din, who was
standing a few feet away. It was then that she realized that the
silence in the house was due to the fact that she had already
fallen fast asleep.

“P’Din slept before Rose today,” she murmured softly,

not wanting to disturb Din, who was probably
dreaming. In recent times, even though it had only been fifteen
days since her return to Thailand, Din had faced a lot of trouble
because of her. It seemed like they had been through a lot together
in such a short time. And looking to the future, she knew that they
would need to be united to face the challenges that awaited
them, especially with the powerful Mahattanakorn family, who
would not give up easily. Din, who had always protected her…

And Rose, who now wanted to protect her...

"Thank you," she whispered.

It was a thank you she had said dozens or hundreds of times since
they had met again, but Tippapha knew that everything Din did for
her went beyond the call of duty, without expecting anything in
return. Even though she was not his wife or true lover, Din had
done a lot for her. And in return, she wanted to do her best to
repay him.

With that, the young woman brought her hand to Din's face,
gently touching his cheek without realizing it, or perhaps

Page 146 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

giving in to an impulse she couldn't contain. Unintentionally, she ended

up stealing another moment. Just like on the day of the fake wedding,
when she gave him a kiss on the cheek, this time without lipstick marks, but
still with the clear intention of expressing her feelings. She then brought two
fingers to her lips and then touched the same place where she had left a
mark the day before.

"Good evening, P'Din."

She wanted to reinforce that memory, so that it would never

disappear...

“Little Rose!”

“Is everything okay? Why do you have that worried expression,

P’Din?”

“I came home and didn’t find you there, Rose. Plus, you didn’t
take your cell phone.”

Kasama breathed a sigh of relief when she found the young

woman. She had been worried when she woke up and found
Tippapha not at home, especially when she realized that her cell
phone was there. She quickly went out to look for Rose, who
was out for a walk. The difference between Rose, dressed in a floral
dress ideal for a stroll on the beach, and her, who looked like she
had just run out of the house, was obvious.

“I just wanted to get some fresh air, but I ended up walking all
the way here,” she explained.

Page 147 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“Next time, let me know first, okay? That way I won’t have to worry.”

“Sorry, I'll let you know next time, P'Din.”

“I brought you to Prachuap thinking it would be safe here, but I don’t

want you to walk alone. You never know when these people might try
something again.”

“I really hope these troubles will end soon,” Tippapha said, her tone
wistful as she thought about the hardships she was facing. She knew
there was no clear answer as to when it would all end, nor was there any
guarantee that miracles would happen, such as seeing her father wake up
and talk to her again. What she wanted most was a peaceful and happy
life with her father, away from trouble. However, her hope had been
shattered by those who were determined to harm her.

“I believe that anyone who does something bad will end up getting what
they deserve,” Din said.

“What if this takes a long time? If the laws do not punish the guilty
and justice does not happen, what can we do?
I don’t want to go through any more losses.”

“Luck will not always be on the side of the guilty. But we need to be
patient and stay calm. If we act rashly, we may end up making
mistakes.”

“Maybe we should put our worries aside for now. After all, we came here
to relax, right? I shouldn’t bring up this kind of topic.”

“Honeymoon, huh? What honeymoon are you talking about?”

Page 148 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“I meant a disguised honeymoon so people would believe it,” Rose

replied, with a shy smile.

The two continued walking together, admiring the view of the sea. Although
they didn't act like romantic couples who walked hand in hand along the
beach, just being there together, in a peaceful environment, was
enough to bring relief to both of their hearts.

“The sea is so beautiful, it looks like a painting,” said Rose.

“This place really is beautiful.”

“Did you used to come here before?”

“I haven’t been here in a long time, ever since my father passed away,” Din
replied sincerely.

“May I ask why?” Rose asked.

“After my father left, I had to take over everything on the Saenrak farm.
I spent years learning and dedicating myself to the work, with no time to rest
or think about myself.”

“Maybe that's why you've matured so much, P'Din.

You have become very responsible, unlike when I was little. Did you know
that everyone on the farm admires you? As for me, I feel like I still have a
lot to learn.”

Despite all the responsibilities and hardships, Rose admired Din for his
strength and dedication. She wished Din could be kinder to himself and
find more happiness.

“If you need anything, you can always count on me,” Din assured.

Page 149 of 413

“So, I want to ask you something. Promise me that you won’t

overwork yourself to the point where you can’t find happiness,” Rose said.

“I promise I will do my best to find more happiness.”

“If you break that promise, I’ll complain a lot,” she joked.

“You can complain all you want,” she replied with a smile, a rare moment
of levity.

Din remembered how before she had seen no purpose beyond her work.
But now, looking at Rose, she felt like she had found something worth
fighting for. It was as if she was slowly beginning to regain the glow
of her former joy, something she hadn’t felt since the loss of her father.

“My happiness is being able to care for and protect you, Rose,” she said,
with a genuine smile coming from the bottom of her heart.

Chapter 8

Taking the position of wife number one.

"Does little Rose want to go for a walk somewhere today?"

"I'm not a local. I don't know what places are interesting to visit in
Prachuap. I'll let you choose, P' Din."

"I'm not an expert either. At first I was going to ask P'Nam, but today she
went out to take care of business in

Page 150 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

somewhere else. She just said that if you and I, Rose, want to go
somewhere, just let the driver she arranged to take us know."

"So, I'll look online to see what places are recommended to visit."

Kasama nodded in agreement, following the wishes of his wife, Tippapha.

Since morning, we had been sitting and enjoying the delicious
breakfast prepared by the resort without rushing, because now it was time to
relax and we were not at Saenrak Farm. She did not have to rush like she
did every day and could have breakfast at her leisure, admiring the
sea view and listening to the sound of the waves.

"Today, I want to visit a temple and then have lunch at a famous

restaurant. In the afternoon, we can go back to the resort to rest, and in the
evening, go to the night market to stroll and shop. How about it?"

"As you wish, Rose."

"What's this? P'Din always agrees with me. I suggested the plan so you
could help me think of ideas. You always agree with what I say. How
do I know whether or not you like the things I plan?"

"I like everything you plan, I don't see any problem."

Tippapha rested her chin on her hand as she stared at her wife,
trying to find something wrong because she always agreed with her too
much.
That was good for her, but maybe it wasn't good for P'Din. We came
to travel together, to take vacations together, so

Page 151 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

we should collaborate on ideas. But P'Din just smiled softly and never
disagreed with her on anything.

"P'Din, the two of us will probably be together for a long time, won't
we?"

"Hm?"

"If you agree with everything I say and don't express your own wishes, in
time, you will feel uncomfortable. But if you change from always
agreeing with me to speaking openly, we can live together with
understanding, don't you think?"

"Do you want me to be direct?"

"Yes. Even though our marriage is fake, for the well-being of both of
us, I don't want you to say one thing and feel another. I don't want you to
keep secrets from me."

"What makes you happy makes me happy too!"

"..."

P'Din is too persistent. Rose won't talk to P'Din anymore!

She would say that her happiness is protecting her, and now she's
saying that what makes her happy also makes P'Din happy. I just asked
her to be honest, not to come up with sweet words or clichés that make her
sensitive for no reason.

Although on the outside, Rose may seem a little fragile...

Inside, she is strong and does not give in to anyone easily.

Page 152 of 413

"That takes some of the edge off. I thought we'd get lost again."

"If P' Din gets lost again, we'll switch. P' Din will be responsible for seeing
the way, and Rose will drive."

"Let me drive. You just need to help me with the directions."

Because Kasama did not want to discourage his wife by saying that the first
time they got lost and their plan to visit the temple was delayed, it was
because Kasama had gotten confused when giving directions. By the
time she told them to turn around, they had already gone far off the
road. It took them a long time to find their way back and reach their final
destination.

"If you don't know your way around here well, why didn't you let the
resort's driver drive?"

"Driving alone is more private, don't you think? You can ask to stop wherever
you want without having to worry about the driver."

"It's true. I've asked you to stop at several places. Look, P' Din always
gives in instead of stopping me."

"I won't stop you."

Tippapha spoke as if he realized that he had given P'Din a lot of work,

making her stop for bathroom breaks or at cute cafes along the way
to get drinks and sweets. But she didn't complain, and always seemed willing
to accommodate his requests. If he had been Apo's driver, he would probably
be complaining about his cousin for being so demanding.

Oops! She shouldn't refer to herself as sister-in-law so advantageously in

something fictional...

"Shall we visit the temple now? The sun is getting strong, and if we stay in
the sun for too long, Rose might get sick."

"Let's go. There are a lot of people here. I think this must be a famous
temple, as the travel blogs recommend."
But I didn't see any reviews warning that the stairs were that long."

At this time, there were many tourists on holiday, including international tour
groups. The area around the stairs leading to the worship spot at
the top was crowded, with no room to hold the handrails on either side.

Plus, the small-heeled sandals she was wearing weren't as comfortable as

P's sneakers.
Din. If she had known that she would have to walk so much or climb so many
stairs, she would have worn sneakers too.

"Are you able to walk okay? If not, you can hold on to my arm, Rose."

"Do you want me to hold your arm P' Din?"

"That way you can walk better."

"Can I hold your hand instead of your arm? Holding your arm still doesn't
feel safe."

She said P' Din was very good at following what she wanted.
She had always been very kind to Rose, even before they were together
because of their fake marriage or even before they had rings on their left
ring fingers to symbolize their commitment. But after they were
married, when Rose asked for something, she would stop offering her arm
and instead hold out her hand for her to put hers in, before holding on
tight and walking up the stairs together.

On the way back... Rose will look for another excuse to hold her hand again.

"Mrs. Rose, Mr. Din, are you back yet?"

"Moddaeng, you have amazing hearing! The car just arrived. I haven't even
turned off the engine yet and you're already here to greet us."

"Mrs. Rose, Moddaeng is not a dog, you know? Is there anything I can help
you carry?"

"Help bring the things from the trunk into the house. And this bag here
is a gift I bought especially for you."

"Thank you! Moddaeng loves Ms. Rose, you are the kindest!"

Tippapha watched as Moddaeng quickly picked up the gift bag that she
mentioned was a special gift for the person she had entrusted with an
important task.
Moddaeng took care of visiting her father in the hospital during the three
days she was away from Chiang Rai and kept Tippapha updated on the
situation, allowing her to enjoy her trip without worry. Compared to the
gift, it was a small kindness.

"Moddaeng is always so full of energy."

"Sometimes Rose thinks Moddaeng is a little hyperactive." "It's

good that

Moddaeng takes good care of young Rose. That way, she can help out
when I'm busy."

"Why do P' Din and Moddaeng think Rose is a little kid? I'm already an
adult!"

Page 155 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"I don't see young Rose as a child. I'm just worried about
you."
She was so concerned about the person who mattered most to
her that she didn’t want to let her out of her sight if she
could. But Kasama knew that it wasn’t
practically possible to keep an eye on Tippapha
24 hours a day, as they both had responsibilities on the farm.
So when they had to be apart, Kasama felt relieved knowing
that Moddaeng was taking care of the other party, as instructed.
"But don't worry too much. While we were in Prachuap, P'
Din promised not to forget."

"Yes, I won't forget what I promised."

"Why are you smiling? You look so happy like this, P'
Din."

When questioned by her beautiful wife, Kasama kept

smiling while Tippapha glared at her mischievously.
This was another request Tippapha had made: that she
smile whenever she was happy, and Kasama really only
wanted to smile because she was so happy.
"Can't I smile?"

"Rose never said P' Din couldn't smile."

"You said you wanted me to smile more from now on."

"But smiling for no reason, at least tell me why you are smiling."

"I am expressing my happiness."

"Stop pretending! If anyone sees you, I won't help you
if they say you're out of your mind."

"Um, sorry to interrupt, but if Mrs. Din and Mrs.

Rose continue in this romantic mood, Moddaeng won't be
able to get the things out of the trunk."
She didn't want to interrupt the bosses' romantic moment,
especially as the farm couple's biggest supporter. But
there were still a lot of things in the car to be taken
inside, so it was best for them to stay inside the house
so as not to expose themselves to the sun.
But still, the afternoon sun didn’t seem to be able to
melt them any more than the sweet love between the
newlyweds. After returning from their honeymoon in
Prachuap, they seemed to have turned the sea waters into
syrup with the love they shared. It’s not known exactly how
much they enjoyed their honeymoon, but Moddaeng
could tell that something had changed since they left a few
days earlier.
"Hey! Talk more respectfully to P' Din. She's not your
friend."
"Moddaeng is telling the truth. No one on the farm thinks
Mrs. Din is out of her mind, on the contrary, everyone
thinks she is in love."
"Moddaeng! Don't go hiding inside the house. Come
apologize to P' Din now."

"No need, young Rose. I don't take what Moddaeng

says seriously."
"But Moddaeng has gone too far. She won't even leave P'
Din out. I'll have to reprimand her."
"It's just a small thing. Don't worry about it, I've already let it
go. Besides, it's actually good for us that Moddaeng
thinks that way."

Page 157 of 413

Letting Moddaeng believe that P'Din was madly in love and letting her
spread this rumor throughout Saenrak Farm and even Chomchan Farm
might be advantageous for a newlywed couple, as P'Din mentioned. But
it would certainly embarrass Tippapha if all the workers began to see her as
P'Din's cherished wife.

"Let's go inside. I'll ask Auntie Chan to prepare your favorite dish for
dinner. You must be sick of eating seafood."

"You understand me so well! I'm just in the mood for some northern food
made by Auntie Chan."

Tippapha responded excitedly when P'Din mentioned the dinner

prepared by Aunty Chan. Although they had enjoyed delicious
meals, especially seafood in Prachuap, no food could compare to the
dishes prepared by Aunty Chan. Even compared to the meals
prepared by the cook at her father's Chomchan Farm, Aunty Chan
was a clear winner. Tippapha enjoyed the food so much that she was
gaining weight there.

"Mrs. Din, Mrs. Rose, hello! Are you back from your honeymoon?"

"Yes, Khun Kaew. Rose and P' Din brought souvenirs from Prachuap for
you. Please come and get them inside the house."

"Thank you very much, Ms. Rose. But I'll leave the remembrances for later.
I wanted to talk to Ms. Din about work. I apologize for interrupting
your personal time, but this is really urgent."

Page 158 of 413

"What's the rush, Kaew? I thought I had everything sorted out before the
trip."

"Mr. Suwan's resort wants to cancel direct supply from Saenrak Farm."

"But Mr. Suwan is an old customer, we've never had any problems.
Why does he want to cancel all of a sudden? Did he give any reason?"

"Mr. Suwan did not give specific reasons, only mentioned that he would
switch to a new supplier."

"Then I'll have to go to the hotel and talk to him directly today. Kaew,
prepare the documents and I'll go meet him."

Kasama decided to deal with this major challenge immediately by

going to talk to the important client and finding out the reasons
for Mr. Suwan’s change of mind, despite many years of good business
and the hotel’s satisfaction with the price and quality of the agricultural
products provided. The only possible reason for the cancellation would be
a personal matter.

"P' Din, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I think I can handle it, but I might be late tonight and not have dinner with
you if I have to talk to the client for a long time."

"P' Din, don't worry about me. Focus on solving the problem.

I hope everything works out. I'll wait for good news at home."

"After work, I will return home as soon as possible."

Page 159 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

The beautiful wife watched as Kasama rushed to get into the office
immediately. It seemed that P'Din's vacation had ended the moment they
returned to Saenrak Farm, and work had called her before she had even
entered the house to rest.

"Mrs. Rose, why haven't you come home yet? Wow, Mrs. Din left so
quickly?"

"P' Din went with Khun Kaew."

"And you let her take Mrs. Din like that? It's her day off!"

"She had an urgent matter to attend to. How could I stop her,
Moddaeng?"

At first, I intended to continue the question to Mrs.

Rose, but seeing the somewhat sad expression of the owner of Saenrak
Farm, Moddaeng closed her mouth, fearing to anger her even more.
Not long ago, she was so happy by Mrs. Din's side.

Maybe Mrs. Din's weakness is that she's a bit of a workaholic?

"Mrs. Rose."

"What's up, Moddaeng? If you're about to tell me to go to bed

again, go to sleep first."

"No, I'm not sleepy. If Mrs. Rose wants me to wait for you,

Page 160 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Mrs. Din, I can hold on until morning."

"Then watch TV. There's that favorite drama of yours, right?"

"I can watch the drama later. Now there's something more interesting."

Tippapha looked at Moddaeng who was watching her intently.

This evening, Moddaeng had offered to wait for P' Din to return home
with her after the owner of Saenrak Farm had left to meet a client named
Mr. Suwan with her assistant Khun Kaew.

P' Din didn't have dinner with her and didn't reply or send messages
to let her know when he would be home. She just waited without
knowing what to do, as she didn't want to be too annoying as a fake
worried wife.
Still, without Din coming back, it would be difficult to fall asleep.

But being worried to the point of looking silly wouldn't be good!

"Every time Moddaeng says it's interesting, it always sounds like nonsense
to me."

"But this time, I have been quietly observing for a while and I am quite
confident."

"What is it then? Tell me, but if it's nonsense, I'll send you to bed."

"It's about Mrs. Din and her assistant, Khun Kaew."

"Why? What's between P' Din and Khun Kaew?

Moddaeng, be quick and tell me everything!"

Seeing how serious she was, Moddaeng laughed at her anxiety. But it was
serious to Tippapha; if Moddaeng was joking, Tippapha would be really
upset.

Page 161 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"See? As soon as I mentioned Khun Kaew, Ms. Rose already showed

a reaction. How could Moddaeng not be confident?"

"And why not? I'm just curious about what you found out. If it's related to P'
Din, as his wife, I should know, shouldn't I?"

The beautiful woman crossed her arms and raised her chin in a proud
attitude.
Even though she was anxious, she didn’t want to show it to Moddaeng to
the point where it would be noticed. Since Moddaeng didn’t know about
the fake marriage, she referred to herself as his wife to find out the truth.

"Well, since Mrs. Rose is the mistress of Saenrak Farm now, anything that
happens, you need to know.
Moddaeng will always report on everything, so you don't need to worry."

"So, what is it about P' Din and Khun Kaew anyway?"

"Moddaeng just finds Ms. Rose adorable. You may not realize it, but
her behavior is very obvious. It seems like Ms. Rose is jealous of
P'
Din and Khun Kaew."

"What nonsense! Why would I be jealous? Khun Kaew is just P' Din's
assistant."

"Well, even if you were jealous, that wouldn't be wrong. As a wife,

perhaps you don't want P' Din to get too close or go out alone with other
women, even if they are just assistants. Moddaeng is right, isn't she?
That's why you act strange every time she works with Khun Kaew.
You even wait for her to come home."

Page 162 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"I... I'm not a fool, Moddaeng!"

Tippapha knew deep down that there was something there; she felt
something seeing P' Din getting close to Khun Kaew. Even though she knew
it was just work, there was still an uneasiness. And when Moddaeng
mentioned it, she could no longer deny it, looking guilty.

But how could she be jealous of P' Din when they weren't really in love,
and she wasn't even his real wife? If Din knew, she was afraid that
Din would look at her with doubts.

"It has nothing to do with being foolish. When we love or like someone,
it is natural to protect the people we care about. P'Din would never
betray or hurt Mrs.
Rose, but as a wife, show everyone that you are a happy couple. Make it
clear that P' Din is so loved that no woman dares to approach her."

"And what should I do, Moddaeng? I have no experience in this."

"Who am I, Ms. Rose? I'm the former popular girl from Chomchan Farm,
Moddaeng! I won't let you down. I'll give you strong tips on how to be
P' Din's number one."

"..."

For some reason, it feels comforting?

But for now, besides Moddaeng, she had no one else to turn to.

Page 163 of 413

"How lucky, Mrs. Din, that you managed to come to an understanding with Mr.
Suwan."

"Losing a good customer like Mr. Suwan would have a huge impact
on the farm."

"But where did this information come from that says our products were
contaminated? Who spread this, if we had no problems for years?"

"I can't conclude yet, Kaew, but there are suspicions."

"You suspect the Mahattanakorn, right?"

"I don't have many enemies."

Kasama did not specify anything without evidence. He could not

accuse the

Mahattanakorn for tarnishing the name of Saenrak Farm.

Apart from them, she had no other enemies. If she hadn’t helped
Tippapha, her farm wouldn’t be in so much trouble. However, she was
willing to resolve each issue calmly and be more attentive to the next
moves.

"You should take a nap, Kaew will wake you up when we arrive."

"I am not well."

"But you drank a lot with Mr. Suwan."

"I couldn't refuse. Drinking while we talk makes it easier between us."

"Arriving so late, Mrs. Rose must be worried about you."

"No, when I left Mr. Suwan, I sent a message saying I was coming
back."

Page 164 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"So she's waiting for you?"

"Yes. That's why I tried to finish everything before it got too late; I
don't want Mrs. Rose waiting for me."

Kasama's serene face spoke of his wife with a smile without realizing how
her expressions had changed so much. Kaew, who was at the side,
saw how the change did not go unnoticed.

"When you talk about Mrs. Rose, you sound so happy. I haven't
seen you like this in a long time."

"Because Mrs. Rose brought happiness back into my life."

"P' Din, are you drunk?"

"Rose..."

"Ms. Rose, Ms. Din had a lot of drinks with Mr. Suwan."

"Thank you, Khun Kaew, for bringing P' Din back home."

Tippapha spoke to P' Din's assistant, who brought his wife back home
safely. She went to help support P' Din out of the car, making sure she was
able to stand on her own, despite being a little drunk.

"Don't worry, I'll help Mrs. Rose take Mrs.

Din into the house."

"No need, Khun Kaew. Go rest too. I can take care of P' Din by
myself."

Page 165 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Are you sure, Mrs. Rose? I can help..."

"Let P' Din's wife handle this, Khun Kaew.

Everything is fine."

The beautiful woman politely refused the help, causing Khun Kaew to
hesitate and not come any closer. She supported P' Din into the house, a
little awkwardly, but Din helped by walking on his own. If she was so drunk
that she couldn't walk, she would have to swallow the pride she
showed Khun Kaew out of jealousy, just like Moddaeng suggested.

But was Moddaeng's suggestion really a good one?

"P' Din, what a mess, coming home late and smelling of alcohol."

"Rose..."

"Don't even try to argue. You can't even walk straight now."

"Sorry."

"Do you think that if you speak softly like that I'll stop complaining?"

P' Din deserved to be reprimanded for keeping Rose waiting so

late that Moddaeng had given up and gone to bed. What if Tippapha had
given up too and gone to bed without waiting? If her fake wife hadn't been
there to take care of her, would Khun Kaew be responsible? That would
make her furious. Accusing her of being

Page 166 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

exaggerating or assuming too much, but Rose couldn't stand it.

It was a question of dignity.

After such a publicized wedding and a diamond ring on her finger,

anyone who didn't know that P'Din was married and still approached or
flirted with her would know that she wouldn't tolerate it. If that happened,
Tippapha wouldn't hesitate to act as the owner of Saenrak Farm to bring
order to everything.

Wait! Maybe it was Moddaeng who convinced her to overact in the role?

"Go to bed, P' Din. I'll clean your face."

"No need, Rose. You'll be bothered by the smell. I'll sleep in another
room."

"I'm tired, P' Din. I've already brought you to the room, and now you want
me to take you to another one?"

"I can go alone."

"Then go on your own. I'm tired and I won't accompany you."

She wanted to see if P'Din could actually get up from the bed she had just
laid down to rest in. If she insisted on sleeping in another room and upset
Auntie Chan or the other people in the house, she would let her try until she
got tired.

"P' Din, see? It's going to end up falling... Ah!"

If this were a scene from a soap opera, everything would have happened in
slow motion. But in reality, Tippapha found it all far from romantic. As she
turned to catch P' Din, who looked like he was about to fall, she lost her
balance and pulled her onto the bed with her.

Even though P' Din wasn't completely sober, her instinct was quicker to
hold on with her arms, preventing her from falling on top of her completely.

"Rose..."

If the scene wasn't perfect like in a soap opera, what would be the next act
with P' Din drunk? The soft way she said his name, the intensity in her
gaze. If Din tried something because of alcohol, what should he do?
Resist or give in?

"Can you get off me, P' Din? My arms are tired."

"..."

As soon as she left, P'Din collapsed onto the bed in relief and closed her
eyes, falling asleep immediately. She seemed oblivious to how much the
latest situation had shaken her.

In real life, nothing else happened!

Chapter 9

True feelings versus status

false.

"You came early, Kaew."

"We have to visit a lot of clients today, so I came to pick you up early so I
could get there on time."

"Thank you for bringing me home last night."

"You're welcome. I stopped by this morning to get you some black

coffee. It helps with your hangover."

"Why don't you keep the coffee for yourself, Khun Kaew? Earlier, I
prepared some black coffee for P' Din.
Too much caffeine is not good."

Tippapha had intentionally interrupted the conversation between the

two, or perhaps she could not resist the pressure from
Moddaeng, who was teaching her to be P'Din's number one, and so she
decided to show herself as his wife. She did not want Khun Kaew to be
charmed or for anyone else to seduce P'Din in any way.

"Rose?"

Page 169 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Tonight, will P' Din be back late again? I can wait for
you then."
"I'm not sure when I'll finish work. If you're sleepy, you can
go to bed earlier."
"How can I sleep sooner? As a wife, I need to wait until P' Din
comes home. Otherwise, I will be worried and won't
be able to sleep."
Kasama, not understanding the reason, looked at Tippapha,
who was standing next to her, completely speechless in
the presence of the assistant. She still didn't know why
Tippapha was using her sweet voice and leaning on her
arm, just like she did in front of her stepfather Wasupon.

"I'll be back as soon as I'm done with work, so Rose doesn't

have to worry."

"P' Din is the best! You deserve a reward."

"Reward? What...!"
"Did you like it? If you want more, P' Din, come home quickly and I'll give
you more."

"..."

Kasama wasn't sure if he was happy, because what he felt

most like was surprise, and his reaction was clear.
Being pulled closer by Tippapha and given a quick kiss
on the cheek, followed by a sweet smile that she shared with
both her and Kaew, before walking calmly back into the house.

"Khun Din, shall we go?"

"Kaew, drive for me, please."

"Hey, aren't you going to drive?"

Page 170 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"No. Today I'd rather have Kaew drive all day."

For safety's sake, it was better for someone in their right mind to
drive, even if they thought their hangover had passed.
But Tippapha's effect on her mind and heart still left her shaken
and would not pass easily.

"Now yes, Mrs. Rose. It is not in vain that you are my student,
Moddaeng."

"Are you sure, Moddaeng, that this method works? Or maybe

people think badly of me, that I'm easy?"

"Who would think that of you, Mrs. Rose?"

"To P' Din, or even you, Khun Kaew."

Tippapha expressed her confusion and concern after she followed

Moddaeng's advice to invest heavily in P' Din. Moddaeng had vouched
for her technique with her successful track record at Chomchan
Farm. She must remember that Moddaeng had met many admirers
and had gotten the most handsome one of them all. Therefore,
Moddaeng wanted to convey to Tippapha how to be number one.

"Why would P' Din think you're easy, Ms. Rose?

You are her wife.
That's normal, she even seemed to like everything."

"But actually, P' Din and I are not..."

"What are you and P' Din not?"

Page 171 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"We're not... people who show off. P' Din always behaves and respects
me, and I should do the same with her."

The owner of the beautiful face made up an excuse to get out of the
situation, almost confessing the truth to Moddaeng. They are not really
married, she is not even his real wife, a real marriage. But she
remembered in time, after all, P'Din asked her to keep it a secret even from
those close to her.

"If P' Din is like this and so are you, your relationship will not evolve."

"P' Din is reserved, Moddaeng, you see. And me, what can I do?"

"If she doesn't make the first move, you should, Mrs. Rose.
It's not that difficult."

"Moddaeng! I won't continue this conversation. I thought you would have

better advice."

"I'm serious, Mrs. Rose. As a couple, you need to adjust not only in
habits, but even in intimacy."

"..."

The lady of the Saenrak farm was beside herself upon hearing
Moddaeng speak so bluntly. She got up and left, not wanting to
be encouraged into any more follies. The mention of intimacy reminded
her of last night, and even though there had been no novelistic incident,
shame overwhelmed her.

"Have you ever considered replacing Kaew as your assistant?"

Page 172 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Why are you asking this, Kaew? We've worked together for years, and I've
never thought about leaving her."

"I asked because after the wedding I figured P'Din might reconsider his
decisions."

"Speak to me directly, Kaew."

"Forgive me for mentioning Mrs. Rose, but she seems dissatisfied

when you two travel together."

Kasama stopped, hearing her assistant talking about Tippapha.

After completing the tasks, she left for Saenrak Farm. But the topic
Kaew brought up was something she couldn’t ignore.

"Kaew, are you saying that Rose doesn't like you working with
me?"

"More or less, P' Din. At first I wasn't sure, but

after last night when he took us home, and this

morning, I realized there was something to it." "Why did Rose

would feel that way? She knows we've been together for years."

"She's jealous, P' Din."

"Is Rose jealous of me?"

"Yes, and being his wife, it's common to feel that way when you're
around another woman."

"..."

Rose jealous as if it were love...

Maybe Kaew misunderstood? Because, really, they are not a real couple.
But Kaew does not speak without basis or certainty.

Page 173 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"I understand how Mrs. Rose feels. If it were me, I would be jealous too."

"No, I'm sure you must be wrong."

"It may not seem like it now, but I don't want P' Din and Mrs. Rose to have
any problems. What if, hypothetically, she asked you to choose between
her and me? I know who you would choose, and that's why I thought
I'd change roles."

"None of that will happen, I'm confident. Rose is great and understanding.
I'm clear about how much I value you as an assistant and friend and her as
a wife, so that won't be an issue."

Kasama assured Kaew that everything would be fine, despite the unresolved
issue of Tippapha's jealousy. If true, they would talk honestly, as
promised, while respecting secrets at the same time.

"So, even if you're married, you can continue working by my side."

"Are you going to Chiang Mai tomorrow, P' Din?"

"Yes, I'm going to meet Miss Kanda, an important client.

She is opening a new hotel, and I want to congratulate her."

"Are you coming back the same day like last time?"

"This time I'm going to spend the night at the hotel. It would be rude to
refuse, but I'll be back the next morning."

"Are you going to sleep a whole night in Chiang Mai?"

Page 174 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Yes, I'll be with Kaew."

Kasama responded naturally and observed Tippapha’s reaction,

testing the assumption he had not yet fully accepted. One
could not share the truth with Kaew, so the issue needed to be
explored.

"P' Din, you should let Kaew drive and come back the same day.
What about me, will I be alone on the farm? What if Mahattanakorn
comes to cause trouble?"

"Don't worry, I asked Lom to ensure your safety."

"But I..."

Tippapha was restless, with no reason to change P'Din's mind,

and she struggled not to show her nervousness when
she heard him say he would be spending the night out with Kaew.
Being in Saenrak always put her on edge; how could she let
them go out together at night?

"Rose, what's wrong?"

"I don't care! I'm going to Chiang Mai!"

"What?"

"It seems strange that you would go with your assistant after you
got married. You should go with your wife."

"I didn't know I wanted to go. I didn't think I would like the trip,
so I didn't invite you."

"I want to go. I really want to go."

"Then let's go together, P' Din. I'm always by your side."

Page 175 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"You're terrible at disguising yourself, P' Din. Our disguise will fail
because of you, not me. From now on I'll be glued to you, I won't let
you out of my sight."

Kasama hid a smile, the unexpected irony of the situation now

obvious.
Even without fully understanding Tippapha's motives, Kasama
felt important.

"Rose, you barely said that and you're already running away?"

"I need to go to the bathroom. Will you follow me?"

"Of course."

And P' Din shouldn't smile like that. I asked her to smile more, not
to make fun of me."

"Now, you said you would follow me everywhere?"

"I just need the bathroom!"

P' Din watched as Tippapha, still a little upset, walked into the
bathroom, smiling and laughing softly with tenderness. Yes, the
affection was very apparent.

"Foolish love."

"Don't forget the souvenir for Moddaeng, Mrs.

Rose."

"Yes, I know. If I forget to buy it, Moddaeng will keep reminding

me."

"See? When you listened to Moddaeng, you were able to go on a

second honeymoon to Chiang Mai with P' Din."

Page 176 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"It's nothing like that. I'm just accompanying P' Din for work."

"Still, you'll be together, just the two of you. Ms. Rose, make sure to spoil
her plenty, okay? Strengthen your relationship even more than in
Prachuap, so that no one can intrude."

"You cheeky girl!"

Moddaeng's words seemed harmless, but the mischievous look and

restless gestures made her scold her, raising her hand to give a reminder

of respect.

If P' Din heard, he would certainly think that she had no control over the

employees. "Rose, shall we go?"

"P' Din! Since when have you been here?"

"I just arrived."

"Khun Din, take good care of Ms. Rose during the trip, okay?
Have a great time."

"I leave Moddaeng to take care of the house with Aunty Chan."

"Of course, Khun Din, don't worry. Just worry about Mrs. Rose."

"Let's get in the car, Rose. You look like you're tan from waiting so
long."

"..."

My face isn't red from the sun, I swear. It's Moddaeng's boldness that
makes me uncomfortable, but luckily P' Din isn't the questioning
type, so I don't need to explain myself further.

When I come back... just you wait, Moddaeng!

Page 177 of 413

"Hello, Miss Kanda."

"Khun Din, welcome! Long time no see."

"How are you, Miss Kanda?"

"I'm fine, what about you? Who did you come with today? Aren't you with
Khun Kaew?"

"No, Miss Kanda. This is Rose, my..."

Kasama was about to introduce his wife, Tippapha, who had

come to congratulate the opening of Miss Kanda’s new hotel branch in Chiang
Mai in place of Kaew, whom she had left to take care of Saenrak Farm.
Tippapha had wanted to come, saying clearly that she wanted to be by his
side, and Kasama did not want to spoil the trip or disappoint her beloved.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me Khun Din was here?

Hello, Khun Din!"

"Hello, N' Kant."

"I haven't seen much of Khun Din lately. I missed her!"

"N' Kant has just returned from England, bringing a fresh diploma from there."

"Congratulations, N' Kant! And congratulations too, Miss Kanda, on the new
hotel."

"Khun Din changed his secretary? This isn't Khun Kaew..."

"Hello."

Page 178 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

In fact, it would not have been necessary to bow so long, but Tippapha
wanted to show off the large diamond ring on her left ring finger. Afraid
that N'Kant would not notice, she made a point of adjusting her hair with
her left hand.

"Miss Kanda, N' Kant, this is Rose, my wife."

"Is this woman your wife, Khun Din?"

"Yes, wife and woman mean the same thing. Nice to meet you, N' Kant."

"..."

Even without Khun Kaew, there is still N' Kant...

What does P' Din have to do with women whose names start
with the letter K?

"Is everything okay in the room?"

"Why did Miss Kanda move to a suite?"

"Miss Kanda just found out about the wedding and arranged
a suite for the newlyweds. I didn't have the heart to refuse."

"You've always been a person who doesn't like to bother, haven't you, P'
Din? Not just with Miss Kanda, but you never turn anyone down."

"What do you mean, Rose?"

"Nothing, I was just commenting."

I can’t let P’Din know that my jealousy is out of control. I thought that without
Kaew, everything would be fine, but I didn’t expect that the hotel owner’s
daughter, N’Kant, would make my heart flutter. It doesn’t make sense
to feel this way, but it happens a lot lately. If Moddaeng were here, it would
be nice to be able to ask what’s going on with me.

"I've known N' Kant since her school days, so I see her as a sister.

Kaew is like a great friend."

"And why are you telling me this? I didn't ask, P'

Din."

"These are things a wife should know."

Kasama spoke in a soft and warm voice, calming anyone who

might have been disturbed by misunderstandings. Even though it
was a marriage of convenience, she assured him of fidelity, so don't make
any mistakes.

"I thought Rose was jealous of Kaew, but it seems she's jealous of N' Kant
too."

"You got it wrong, P' Din. I'm not jealous of any woman."

"And even?"

"Yes, it's my role as a wife to pretend to be jealous in front of the women

who approach P' Din. Deep down, I don't care, it's just acting."

"Is it just an act?"

"We're married for fun, how can I be really jealous? It would be

ridiculous! P' Din would think I was a fool if I was too immersed in the role
like that. I'm just good

Page 180 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

actress, aren't you? I was convincing enough to fool even P' Din."

"..."

Sorry, I have to dodge that accusation. I can't let P' Din see my genuine
jealousy, deep down.

Every day that passes, P' Din shakes my emotions more and more...

Normally, if people know that someone already has a partner or wife

officially, most decent people would not think of getting involved or
interfering with someone who is married. But now I am sure that Khun Kant is
an exception. Even with the news of P'Din's marriage, the hotel owner's
daughter seemed shocked and unresponsive, but it was only for a moment.

Soon she regained her breath to invest even more intensely in P'
Din.

"Another glass of wine, please."

Now because her heart was hot, she needed a cold drink to cool it down or
maybe even warm it up even more. Even though it was her first time
attending an event with P' Din, she was taken by Khun Kanda to meet
people from the business community. She had to leave his side for a
moment, asking him to wait in the refreshment area. But when Din finished
and was returning to her, Khun Kant appeared and took her,

Page 181 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

right in front of her. "Honeymoon, nothing... Moddaeng! This

is a complicated trip."
In addition to not bringing the relationship closer, even though
the trip did not include Khun Kaew, Tippapha felt that the
current situation was a marital disaster. Their superficial
relationship as a couple was about to face a storm
that threatened to sink everything.

"Pretty girl."
"Yes?"

"Why are you here alone, away, drinking?"

"Are you talking to me?"

The owner of the beautiful face looked around and realized
that she was alone in that corner, waiting, with her third
glass of wine, since, every time she tried to leave, someone
would hold P' Din back for another conversation. It didn't seem
like Kasama left Saenrak Farm much for these events.

"Yes, I am. You're the prettiest one here."

"But I don't think we've met."

"I'm about to introduce myself. I'm Sira, owner of the largest lumber
company in Chiang Mai. How about you?"

"I'll take my leave. I don't see the need for us to meet."

"Wait, let me help. You look like you're already a little

dizzy..."

"Let me take care of my wife, I don't need help from

strangers."

Page 182 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Tippapha looked at the one who always appeared at the right time, while
P'
Din pushed away the hand of the man who tried to touch her,
pulling her by the waist in a possessive manner. Din had never
been one to touch her at will or take advantage, but now, clearly, she had
an urgent reason.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Rose."

Fortunately, the situation did not worsen thanks to Kasama's arrival,

forcing the intruder to retreat to avoid a scandal. Even so, Kasama
blamed herself for neglecting her wife, even for a moment, in
the middle of an appointment. She always kept an eye on Tippapha and,
as soon as she noticed someone trying to get close to her, she rushed
to intervene.

"It's okay, P' Din."

"I'm really sorry."

"Don't worry, I know how to defend myself."

Kasama smiled again, reassured by Tippapha’s charming

demeanor as she put everything in order. Together, they rode the
elevator up to their hotel room. Her wife, now confident, raised her fists
playfully in a fighting gesture.

"I promise I won't take my eyes off you again, Rose."

"What do you mean? Are you going to follow me into the bathroom? You can't!"

"It's not that, I didn't mean it like that."

"You're provoking me, P' Din. Just look."

"Okay, you win, Rose."

Page 183 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Yeah, P' Din can never beat me."

Yeah, P' Din can't beat Rose...

This was a truth that Tippapha said without any contradiction,

while trying to guide his lovely wife, now visibly drunk and
talking more than usual, charmingly to the point of making her smile
and laugh.

"Come on, walk carefully. We're already in the room, a little

more and you'll be in bed."

"So far away. I'm tired."

"Do you want me to carry you?"

"No! No, I'm not a child."

Even though she was a little dizzy, she listened and understood.
Don't call Rose a child, she's an adult, she's married, she's
P'Din's number one wife, and she doesn't let anyone interfere.
She must cement this relationship, she will not let Moddaeng's
speech be in vain.

"Rose! Wait, what are you doing?"

"Be quiet, P' Din, don't make any noise."

"..."

Kasama stopped, as commanded by her wife, without moving

an inch, as Tippapha leaned over to fall onto the bed with her,
settling herself on her shoulder with an exhausted sigh and being
overcome by alcohol and sleep, falling asleep right there.

Without any improper situation between them, Kasama did not

regret the lost opportunity for a closer encounter, but rather the
serenity in knowing that none of this occurred while Tippapha was
completely unconscious.

Page 184 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Regardless of how true a drunk person’s words were, perhaps it

was just another scene, like everything else in their fake wedding. But
Kasama hoped one thing was clear: his true feelings at that moment were
outlined by his tender touch on the sleeping Tippapha, overflowing with
care and sincere affection.

"I'm really jealous of you, Rose."

To me, none of this was ever an act...

Chapter 10

Page 185 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

The smoke and confusion cleared.

The new day began with a heaviness, as if the images in her

head were spinning like a wheel. Or perhaps the world was
spinning so much that it made her wake up without being fully
alert. Tippapha closed her eyes once more to adjust her focus
before leaning against the headboard of the bed. She looked
around the room, which seemed strange.
After sitting there for a while, trying to gather her thoughts, she
began to remember what had happened the night before.
She was now staying at a new hotel owned by Mr. Kanta in
Chiang Mai province because she had been asked to accompany
his wife, Din, to a work event, filling in for his assistant,
Ms. Kaew.
Furthermore, the night before, she had been upset about
something related to Mr. Kan, and coupled with the fact
that Din had kept her waiting for a long time, she had
ended up drinking several glasses of wine in her irritation.
After that, she could barely remember anything, as if her mind
had gone blank.
The end of someone who thought he had a high resistance to
alcohol ended in a regrettable way, as one could imagine!

"Rose, are you awake?"

"Din..."

Tippapha’s eyes widened in surprise. The person she was

just thinking about with a bit of hurt and resentment had
unexpectedly entered the room. Din was in new clothes,
ready for the trip back to Chiang Rai that was scheduled for
that morning.

Page 186 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Meanwhile, she was still in her dress from the party the night before, in a
completely disheveled state.

"Do you have a headache?"

"A little... But... was I really drunk last night?"

"Yes, you were very drunk."

"I can't remember anything. Were you the one who brought me back
to the room?"

"I brought you here to rest. You've been sleeping until now."

Din smiled warmly as he noticed Tippapha discreetly looking

under the blanket his wife had placed over her the night before. Din had
also helped her settle down so she could sleep comfortably.

Tippapha looked relieved to find that everything was all right with her. She
sighed loudly without realizing it, and then looked up to meet Din's gaze,
who was watching her with a smile.

"Last night, I didn't take advantage of you or overstep my

boundaries while you were unconscious.
You can rest assured."

"I never thought you were that kind of person, Din.

If it were, I would never have trusted you to marry me."

She and Moddaeng were in agreement: Din was incredibly respectful and
always treated her with dignity. The possibility of Din taking
advantage of her while she was unconscious was non-existent.

Page 187 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Wait... Why did that word "trust" sound so familiar? It was as if she
had used that expression not too long ago, but no matter how much
she thought about it, she couldn't remember exactly when.

"Now that you're awake, go take a shower. I'll order food to the room."

"Have you eaten yet?"

"No. I'll wait to eat with you."

"Is it already past 11 o'clock? Did I wake up that late?

Why didn't you wake me up, Din? Our plan was

return to Chiang Rai in the morning." In a low voice,

Tippapha apologized when he noticed the time on his phone.

"I saw that you were sleeping so deeply that I didn't want to wake you
up.
We can go back to the farm in the afternoon."

"You always give in to my whims, don't you, Din?"

"If I don't give in to your whims, whose will I give in to?"

"Nobody's! Not Mrs. Kaew's, not Mrs. Kan's. No way!"

"Are you playing the role of a jealous wife now, Rose? You play it
so well I almost believe it. I'm glad you warned me before so I could
tell what was acting."

Tippapha froze, speechless, as he heard Din return his own words so

calmly, with a slight smile on his face. It was as if the lame excuse

Page 188 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

what she had said the day before had been exactly what Din
understood it to be – something said just to get out of the situation.
"Actually, I'm really jealous..."

But even if she said that now, no one was there to hear it. Din had
already left the room, leaving her with some privacy.

"Can't Din tell I'm not pretending?"

"Mr. Thip, Rose came to visit you!"

The young woman's pretty face lit up with a cheerful and energetic smile,
as she always did when she visited her father. He was still in stable
condition, but not showing any major improvements. Her father
remained in the ICU, even after almost a month since the accident.
However, Rose remained hopeful and never thought about giving up. She
believed that by visiting him almost every day, he would not be able to
resist the longing and would soon come back to her.

"I just got back from Chiang Mai with Din today, so I came to visit you
a little later. Don't be mad at me, okay, Dad?"

Tippapha held the rough hand of her father, who looked thinner than
before, a result of standing still, not moving or running in the mornings as
he usually did. Her father, Mr. Thipakorn, was known for his robust
health and for keeping active. He worked the farm with speed and
efficiency, and was admired and respected by the workers. This
was in contrast to Rose, who, although she had tried to help out on the
farm for a while, had not yet fully adapted to the work.

Page 189 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

But then again, she felt lucky to have Din by her side. Din cared for her
with the same affection and dedication as her father. As an older
sister, Din was mature, trustworthy, and also a friend Rose could talk to about
anything. In addition, Din helped her with her work challenges and always
respected her as a wife.

"Father, you were right to trust Din. She takes such good care of me. I am
a very happy woman now. But I would be even happier if you would
come back and take care of me too. Come back soon to help me learn
how to work on the farm, so I can be as good as you!"

Today, Din was talking to the doctor and had not yet gone to visit Mr. Thip
with Rose, which gave her a moment to talk to him alone. She took the
opportunity to praise Din, telling him how amazing Din was and how
well he treated her, so that her father would feel proud for having trusted
the right person. Then, Rose took her father's hand and pressed it to her
face, absorbing the warmth she had missed so much. With her eyes
closed, she wished she could enjoy this moment of peace more before
heading back.

It was then that he felt a slight movement in the fingers he was holding.
His father's hand responded with a small movement. Even though it
soon stopped, Tippapha was sure that it had really happened.

"Nurse! Please call the doctor! My father just moved his hand. He is
conscious!"

It was like a miracle she had been waiting for, and it had finally
happened...

Page 190 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Before she was faced with the harsh reality, it seemed like
the hope she had patiently waited for and built up little
by little had collapsed like a house of cards.

The truth was... miracles don't exist!

"Stop meddling, Moddaeng! And knock on the door next
time! I want to be alone!"
Tippapha shouted at Moddaeng, asking her to stop bothering her. Right
now, Tippapha was in no mood to talk or meet anyone. Ever since she
had felt like her dreams had been shattered when she heard from the
doctor who had been treating her father that the movement she believed
she had seen in his hand was just a muscle spasm, a side effect of the
medication. It was not nearly the good news or the sign of hope she had
hoped for.

The doctor repeated the same advice he always had: she

should accept the possibility that her father would remain in
a coma after the accident. But who could accept such a
cruel truth? At least for Tippapha, who pretended to be
strong and cheerful to hide it, it was disheartening and
devastating. It seemed that the world was too cruel to her,
to the point that she could hardly bear anything anymore.
Maybe that's why she remained silent the entire way back
from the hospital, not saying a word to Din.
Fortunately, Din respected her space, and didn't insist or
question why she preferred to stay in her old room instead
of going back to the master bedroom. Tippapha just
wanted to be alone in her weakness, without Din seeing
this side of her, marked by incessant tears.
Din's silence and lack of questions were somehow a
comfort and support. When Tippapha

Page 191 of 413

was ready to face her father's situation again, she knew she could share
with Din all the pain she was feeling.

"But you haven't eaten anything yet, Mrs. Rose. At least if you don't
want to eat dinner, have a glass of warm milk before you go to bed. I'm
worried about you," Moddaeng said.

"..."

Silence was Tippapha’s only response, which caused Moddaeng to

sigh in concern. She had heard from Din that something related to
Tippapha’s father had happened at the hospital, but it wasn’t good
news. This left Tippapha devastated, preferring to be alone. So Moddaeng
gave up on insisting and left, finding Din watching from afar.

"Mrs. Din."

"Moddaeng, has Rose eaten anything yet?"

"Not yet, Mrs. Din. She hasn't even touched her dinner. I even brought her
some warm milk, but Rose sent me away and didn't open the door."

"I'm worried. She hasn't eaten anything since the afternoon."

Din expressed his concern for his wife, who had been through a difficult
time. She understood Rose’s pain of disappointment, as she had
also been hoping for good news about her father. However, the doctor
had confirmed that the movement was not a sign of recovery.

"If you're so worried, why don't you try talking to Rose, Madam Din?
Maybe she'll listen to you and agree to eat something," Moddaeng
suggested.

Page 192 of 413

"If you couldn't do it, how could I?"

"She's your wife, Madam Din. I'm just a maid. Trust me, she'll listen
to you."

"But she said she wants to be alone."

Din hesitated, torn between respecting Rose's space and wanting to

comfort her. She knew that even though she wanted to be by
Rose's side, she might end up making her even more
uncomfortable if she insisted.

"We women don't always say what we really feel, Madam Din. Deep
down, I think Rose needs you very much right now," Moddaeng said.

"Do you think Rose needs me?"

"Yes. Go take care of her, Mrs. Din. At least make her drink this milk."

"Moddaeng, I'll try."

“I told you to go away, Moddaeng! Stop knocking on the door...”

“It’s me, Rose.”

“P'Din?”

Tippapha was momentarily speechless, stopping what he

was going to say. When he opened the half-open door, he found Din's
face, not Moddaeng's, who had already disturbed his space several times
that day,

Page 193 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

intensifying her irritation. Because it was someone unexpected and

someone she didn't want to see at the moment, Tippapha quickly turned
her back and walked away, trying to hide the tears and fragility that she
preferred to face alone.

If she were strong again tomorrow, she would be the same smiling person
she always was...

“I brought you hot milk. Moddaeng said you didn’t eat anything.”

“I'm not hungry.”

“At least have some, please. Going without food for too long can cause
stomach pain.”

“Take it back, Din. I can’t eat anything.”

“Can I ask you something, Rose? I know you’re worried about your
father, but you promised you’d take care of yourself too. Have some milk,
just a little, to calm my nerves, please.”

“I already said no, and no means no! Why do you have to

insist so much?” Crash!

The sound of the glass falling and breaking on the floor echoed
unexpectedly. Without noticing Din approaching from behind, Tippapha's
arm ended up hitting the glass, which fell and shattered, spilling milk
across the floor.

Moddaeng, who had been watching the situation through a crack in

the door, quickly entered the room, alarmed.

Tippapha looked at the chaos around her, as surprised as the

others. Din remained silent, his expression impossible to read.
Moddaeng, on the other hand, was visibly pale. Before the situation
could get any worse,

Page 194 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Tippapha decided to take action. She didn’t want to fight with Din,
especially when she already felt so emotionally drained.

“Get out, all of you! I want to be alone!”

“If my concern seems invasive or annoying, I won’t bother you any

further.”

“...”

"Sorry."

Kasama, as always, took full responsibility.

She remained calm, without fighting or blaming anyone, choosing to
leave without further discussion.

Din didn't say a single word blaming Rose.

But why did Rose feel so guilty now?

“Moddaeng! You don’t have to avoid looking at me anymore.”

“Does Mrs. Rose not want to be alone anymore?”

The pretty-faced young woman stared at Moddaeng, who

questioned her with a hesitant expression, as if he didn't know whether
he could approach her or not. They had met in the hallway that
morning, after Rose had spent some time alone to compose herself.
Although
had managed to overcome her disappointment regarding her father's
health, another problem arose in her mind, bringing even more uneasiness.
She spent the entire night unable to sleep, consumed by guilt.

Page 195 of 413

“Sorry for taking my bad mood out on you yesterday.”

“It’s okay, ma’am. I understand that Ms. Rose is going through difficult
times. Ms. Din has already explained everything to me and asked me
not to take what happened to heart.”

“And speaking of which, where’s P’Din? I woke up and didn’t see her.”

“Mrs. Chan said she slept in the office last night.”

“Why did she sleep at the office? Why didn’t she sleep at home?”

It seemed like a question that Moddaeng didn’t need to answer.

Instead, she looked at Rose with an expression that clearly said
that she knew very well why. After all, she was the one who caused the
situation last night and she didn’t even have the chance to apologize.
On the contrary, she let Din apologize, even though she was just worried
and hadn’t done anything wrong.

“Then, after breakfast, let’s go to the office together. I need to

apologize to P’Din for what happened yesterday.”

“That’s right! Mrs. Rose is really maturing.”

“Hey! Are you treating me like a joke now?”

“No way! Ms. Rose is my number one student.”

“This story isn’t over yet, huh?”

“Ms. Rose needs to apologize to Ms. Din in a sweet way, with

Page 196 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

lots of affection. I'm sure she won't be mad.”

Even without Moddaeng’s encouragement, Rose already knew she had to

do the right thing. But that didn’t include being cute or affectionate to
earn her forgiveness. She would leave that to Din’s real wife in
the future. She just wanted to apologize for what she did wrong, so as not
to prolong the misunderstanding between them.

"Ah? Ms. Rose, didn't you say you would apologize to Ms. Din?
We're almost at the office."
Why did you come back suddenly?"

"Leave the apologies for later."

"It can't be like this! Staying angry for a long time isn't good for a couple's
life, you know?"

"And how do you want me to interfere? Didn't you see that the lady
Is Din talking to Mrs. Kaew? She leaves me

thinking, worried all night, but she doesn't seem to care. Everything is

fine with her, she even seems happy, smiling

and talking to Mrs. Kaew, all excited like that."

"Mrs. Rose, are you jealous of Mrs. Din?

new, isn't it?" Yes! She was jealous...

Jealous, even though she was just a fake wife. Even though she knew
she was wrong and should be the first to apologize, she couldn't help but
feel irritated when she saw the closeness between Madam Din and
her assistant.

Page 197 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Even though she had never been in love, never been married,
and Madam Din was the first woman to make her feel
something so strange and new, her intuition told her that Madam
Kaew's gaze towards Madam Din was not that of a simple
coworker or close friend. You could even say that she was
being prejudiced or extremely jealous, and she would admit it.

"Ah, now there's no way to apologize to Mrs. Din, right?

She's already left in the car with Mrs. Kaew."

"It's Mrs. Din who should come and ask me

"Apologies!" "Oh, there goes Mrs. Rose acting

like a child again."

Love really does have the power to transform people like this...

"You seem very excited, Wasu. So, about tonight's delivery, is

everything planned yet?"
"Don't worry about it, Father. I've already made all
the preparations. I'm sure our men will pass through
Chomchan Ranch without any problems, without anyone to
interfere, because tonight there will be something quite
entertaining to distract them all."
"This work cannot fail under any circumstances. If we
fail, we will not only lose money, but also our reputation and
connections."

Page 198 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"You can prepare to receive the profits, father. Tonight I will organize a grand
celebration myself."

Wasu chuckled with satisfaction, enjoying the information his spy

had received from Saenrak Ranch. He knew everything about the couple:
where they were going, what they were planning. He even knew that the
night before, Kasama had had to sleep in the office after fighting
with his wife.

For someone like him, who was always in control, it was like watching the
pieces on a chessboard move desperately to reach the goal.

He would just wait patiently until they let their guard down and
thought everything was going according to plan. When they were one
step closer to victory, he would knock over the board, scattering the
pieces and sending them to hell. That would be much more fun than going
after them directly like last time, when he was still afraid they might fight back.

"Tonight, half an hour before delivery, order our men to begin!"

"Mrs. Rose..."

"No, Moddaeng. It was Madam Din who chose not to return home. So I
couldn't apologize."

"But there are still other ways! You can send a message or call to
apologize. That way, Madam Din would come home."

Page 199 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"She was the one who decided to sleep in the office. No one forced
her. How could I change her decision?"

This time, not even Moddaeng’s insistence could convince her. Even
though she knew she was wrong and wanted to apologize, she was
still hurt.
Especially since, the day before, while they were in Chiang Mai, Madam
Din had promised that she would not do anything to make her worry,
assuring her that she would not make her feel jealous because of Madam
Kaew or any other woman.

But now, she had spent the day out with Mrs. Kaew, all smiles, and
when she came back, she preferred to sleep in the office rather than
go home.

If we were to weigh up the situations, whose fault would be greater?

Rose's, for being stubborn and hurting her unintentionally?
Or to Din, for being insensitive and causing him sadness?

"You two complicate such simple things! Or do you need to wait until it's
too late?"

"It's never too late. I'll apologize tomorrow."

In the end, she chose to avoid the conversation, postponing her apology
once again. After deciding to talk to her in the morning, she changed it to
the afternoon. But since Mrs. Din didn’t come home, she ended up
postponing it until the next day.

"What happened to the light?"

Page 200 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Kasama muttered softly as she realized that the lights in the office had
gone out. Only the screen of her phone, which she was using as a flashlight,
illuminated the room. That night was the second time she had decided to
stay in the office to finish her tasks, avoiding going home.

She didn't want to cause trouble or upset her wife, Tippapha, who
seemed to want some time alone.
Kasama knew that, even though she was worried, it was best to give her
space and keep her distance until her wife felt better.

"Normally, the power reserve system works..."

Rising from her chair, Kasama intended to check the control room, but
before she could leave, she smelled smoke coming from under the
door. Opening it, she was met with intense flames consuming the hallway.
The shock made her cough as she quickly closed the door.

With the flames blocking the main exit, she had no

how to escape.

"Uncle Kla! Come put out the fire! The office is on fire. Cough,
cough... I'm stuck in the an..."

Kasama's voice disappeared before he could finish calling for help to the
worker's boss. The smoke was rapidly intensifying, making it difficult to
breathe and increasing the risk of suffocation.

She looked around, trying to find a way out of the crisis. However, the only
thing that seemed clear at that moment was how far away she was from a
solution.

"P'Din!"

Tippapha woke up with a start in the middle of the night, her face covered
in sweat. She had had a terrible nightmare, in which she saw her wife in
mortal danger. The dream seemed so real that it left her with a racing heart
and unable to go back to sleep. In the dream, P'Din was being
attacked and had a gun pointed at her by Mr. Wasu, threatening her life.

"Mrs. Rose, wake up! Something serious has happened, Mrs. Rose!"

"Moddaeng, what happened?"

"Right now, the office is on fire. The workers said that Madam Din
is trapped in the office... Madam Rose, wait! Wait for me!"

Even though Moddaeng called out loudly to her, Tippapha knew her
legs couldn’t wait. They were already carrying her at a rapid pace, as if
they had a life of their own, as she ran toward the Saenrak Farm office.
In the distance, she could see the intense flames consuming the building,
difficult to contain.

"Rose apologizes."

She wanted to apologize for everything bad she had caused her wife.
Ever since P'Din found her, ever since she had returned to her life
after fourteen years, it seemed like the peace of everyone at Saenrak
Farm and in Kasama's life had been stolen by her weakness and
selfishness.

"Please, P'Din, you must survive to hear my apology."

"Mrs. Rose, what are you doing here?"

Page 202 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Uncle Kla, P'Din is still inside, isn't he? I'm going in to save
her!"

"First get Mrs. Rose out of here! Don't come any closer, it's
dangerous!"

"But I need to save P'Din! Let me go! P'Din!"

Tippapha screamed for her wife as loud as she could over the
chaos, as the workers tried to stop her from entering the burning
building. But if everyone was too scared to rescue P'Din,
she would do it herself. She wouldn't let anything happen to
her wife without at least trying to protect her.

She wasn't ready to lose another important person in

her life.
"Mrs. Rose!"

"P'Din!"

"..."

Kasama looked at Tippapha, who ran towards her and hugged

her tightly, completely frightened. When she heard her wife
calling her, Kasama had gotten up from where she was resting,
having escaped the fire. In order to survive, she had
decided to break a window and escape through it. Fortunately,
she only suffered mild smoke inhalation and avoided
anything more serious.
"I apologize. It's all my fault. Because of me, P'Din ended up in
danger. I... If something had happened to you, I would never
forgive myself!"

"It's okay. I'm safe now. Don't cry, Rose."

Page 203 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"I don't want to be weak, but the tears won't stop falling. Just
the thought of losing P'Din... I couldn't bear it."

"I'm strong. I won't let you go that easily, Rose."

Kasama looked at Tippapha, who quickly covered her mouth

to stop her from talking. Tippapha then took a step back, but
her eyes were filled with tears, reflecting all the vulnerability
caused by that unexpected event.

"P'Din, you don't need to say anything. Just listen to me. I will
say it now. I won't wait any longer, because I'm afraid it will be
too late."
Kasama nodded silently, listening attentively. But instead of
interrupting with words, she acted gently, gently wiping
Tippapha’s tears, showing that she cared.

"Do you know how much I care about you P'Din?"

"Yes I know."

"And I'm very jealous of you P'Din, you know?"

"You already told me that the other day, and you also told me the
reason for this jealousy."

"No, it was a lie. That day, I lied. Actually, it wasn't like that. It
wasn't like that at all."
"Like this?"

"I wasn't just putting on an act. I'm actually jealous, I

really am."

Because she was afraid that Din wouldn't believe her, that he
would think she was just putting on a show. But today, she was
finally telling the truth, expressing her true feelings.

Page 204 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

that he truly felt from his heart. It was like people who always wait until
it's too late, as Moddaeng said. Only then do they feel
comfortable saying what they really think.

But if P'Din hadn't been lucky enough to be safe now, at thirty-two,

and hadn't been there to listen to her, she would never have had the chance
to express her feelings, because the person she wanted to talk to
would probably never listen. So she wasn't going to keep it to
herself anymore. Even if P'Din saw her as an easy woman, she
wouldn't make things any harder between them.

"Yes, it's true. I really am jealous."

"Are you saying you're jealous of me?"

"Yes, I just realized now that I'm a very jealous person."

"..."

"I don't want you to get close to any other woman. I don't want you to
look at anyone, I don't want you to be interested in anyone else but me."

Page 205 of 413

Chapter 11

Direct, straightforward feelings.

"Sorry, Moddaeng couldn't tell Rose in time that P'Din

was safe. Rose didn't wait until she heard everything, she
ran off, and Moddaeng couldn't catch up with her."

"I'm glad I managed to stay calm. If I had been in shock,

Moddaeng would have had to take responsibility."

"But now, Rose has already reconciled with P'Din, hasn't she?
P'Din must be happy to see how much you care."

"Yes, I care about P'Din."

It was as if that life-or-death moment when P'Din was in
danger had happened. Even though the firefighters the workers
called to put out the fire on the farm had managed to control
the flames, the office building still suffered a lot of damage
and would need repairs for quite some time. But the damaged
goods were material things, easy to replace. It wasn't like
the farm that had only one person, and

Page 206 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

That event made Tippapha realize how important P'Din was to her.

Therefore, from now on, she would no longer try to appear distant or
inflexible with P'Din. She would no longer hide her feelings. Whatever
she thought, she would say it directly, without beating around the bush,
because she did not want to wait until it was too late, and she did not
want to waste any more time in life with misunderstandings and lack of
understanding.

She said this from her heart to Moddaeng, and even the person closest to
her felt happy and proud of her progress. It was as if the smoke that had
cleared had helped her clearly see the feelings that were hidden within her.
Although she still didn’t know how to describe the feelings that had
arisen, at this moment, she didn’t want to find a name for them. She just
wanted to be happy and wish P’Din would be happy too.

"Rose, why don't you go rest?"

"I'm waiting for P'Din. What did the police say?"

"Right now they have not yet concluded whether the fire was caused by a
short circuit or whether someone set the fire intentionally.
They need to collect evidence from the scene before reaching a
conclusion on the case."

"Then P'Din needs to rest too. We can go to the police station

tomorrow morning. I'll go with you."

Tippapha said this with a worried tone after P'Din had walked away from
the police officers who were investigating the scene. P'Din
asked Moddaeng to take her back to the house to wait while he would come
later.
When she returned at three in the morning, she found Tippapha still
waiting in the living room. She knew that she was not

Page 207 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

I couldn't sleep until I was sure P'Din was truly safe.

"I can't rest now. I need to stay here. Lom is coming to the farm. If you're
tired, you can sleep, Rose. I'm fine now."

"No, I'm not tired. I'll wait here with Lom and P'Din."

"But..."

"Don't stop me, please. P'Din knows how much I care."

Kasama nodded, accepting Tippapha’s words, which made her feel

touched. Perhaps it was Tippapha’s sweet gaze that made her
feel so vulnerable. Even without tears of regret, the soft hand
holding hers still showed the fear that she would leave her.

Although he had not yet had a chance to ask about the words of caution
and jealousy that Tippapha had said, the police arrived on time and
began asking questions.
Kasama asked Moddaeng to take care of Tippapha and take her to rest
while she spoke to the police officers.

"Moddaeng, go rest. I'll take care of Rose."

Kasama gave a small, uncomfortable cough as she realized someone

was watching her with a mischievous smile. She asked
Moddaeng to go rest so that she and Tippapha could be alone. After
everything that had happened, they both needed some time to be close,
until their feelings returned to normal.

But it probably wouldn't be long if they got together...

Page 208 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Now, P'Din and Rose are in the living room. Please come this way,
Lom."

"Thank you so much, Moddaeng, beautiful."

"Ah, Lom, you always like to tell Moddaeng the truth, don't you? But
when you come in, please don't make any noise, or P'Din will get mad."

"Why can't I make noise?"

Wayo stared at the person next to Tippapha, who did not answer her
question except with an enigmatic smile, and let her enter the living room
to find out the truth for herself. When she entered, she found an
answer that surprised her and thought that perhaps P'Din was not as
worrisome as she had imagined, after hearing the bad news and rushing
to the farm.

"P'Din!"

"Lom, shhh! Don't make noise, Rose just fell asleep."

"And why is Rose sleeping here?"

"She was so upset about what happened that she couldn't sleep."

"So how am I supposed to talk about the fire in the office with P'Din if she
can't hear the noise?"

Now Wayo could hardly speak anymore, for Kasama gave him a
reprimanding look and gestured for him to

Page 209 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

She didn't want to disturb Tippapha, who was sleeping with her head on his
shoulder. But when he planned the fake wedding, Wayo never
imagined it would be this realistic. The situation already seemed
sweet and sappy, but he never imagined that they would have to hold
hands.

"Lom, you will wait until Rose wakes up to talk to P'Din."

"Ugh!" "I told you not to make noise, Lom. Or

so, better wait somewhere else."

"..."

Is this possible? Why doesn't anyone believe that P'Din has

changed?

“If it were an outsider, it would be impossible to get to the office room

without passing by the security cameras that P'Din installed in
almost every spot on the farm. It seems that the criminal knew the angles of
the cameras well, as he managed to avoid being seen.”

"But the police in charge of the case said there are traces that
the criminal passed through Chomchan Farm, which probably
happened after setting fire to the office. What is strange is that in the
area near the river of Chomchan Farm, which is fenced, the fence has
been damaged and there are signs of trespassing."

“From what Lom saw at the scene of the incident and the evidence, as
well as witnesses such as Uncle Kla, who was the first to arrive and did not
find anyone suspicious, Lom thinks that the

Page 210 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"The criminal had no intention of killing P'Din, but rather of diverting

attention from Saenrak Farm. It seems that he just wanted to create a
situation, because if he were going to kill for real, he wouldn't have just set
fire to the entrance of the office, he would have set fire to the back to
prevent P'Din from escaping."

"P'Din hasn't told Rose about the Chomchan Farm invasion yet,
and he asked the workers to keep it a secret. Lom, don't tell Rose now. She's
already dealing with a lot of difficult things, and P'Din doesn't want to
burden her any further. She'll figure it out on her own."

“I agree. Don’t tell Rose for now. She’ll just get worried and that won’t help
at all. Let’s wait until we have evidence and clearly understand why the
criminals invaded the Chomchan farm. Then P’Din can tell Rose.”

"Okay, deal, Lom."

Kasama nodded, agreeing with Lom. She and Wayo were in agreement
to keep this a secret for now. Tippapha had just gone through a
difficult time last night, and the day before she was still disappointed with
Thipakorn’s condition. Rose probably couldn’t handle any more heavy
news now. Kasama also wanted to protect the important
person’s heart with the same care.

“By the way, does P'Din agree with Lom's initial hypothesis that the
Mahattanakorn
may have some contact with Saenrak Farm?”

“Yes, I agree with Lom.”

Page 211 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“That means there is a traitor within the farm. Does P'Din have someone
in mind that he suspects?”

“For now, I don’t know who it could be, but I’ll keep an eye out and be
more careful with Rose’s safety.”

“P'Din, you can't just worry about your wife's safety with every breath.
You have to take care of yourself too!”

She didn’t argue, which meant she had no way to refute it and that she
accepted that what she said was true. It was rare to see Kasama so silent
and unresponsive. If it weren’t for Rose, she probably would never have
seen it in her life.

“P'Din, isn't Lom going to have lunch with you today?”

“After we return from the police station together, Lom said she was going
to take care of something, and will be back later. She will spend the
night at the farm.”

“And what did the police say? P'Din still hasn't told Rose whether the fire
was an accident or arson.”

“I don’t think we should talk about this during meals. It might ruin your
appetite.”

“P'Din, don't try to change the subject or hide this from Rose. Tell her
the truth. Rose cares about you as much as anyone here.”

Even though we've only been living together for a short time, I already
understand the situation and know the person who is my life partner
well. How could I not know that P'Din would try to change the subject or
avoid the topic? Even if she didn't

Page 212 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Tell me, I'll find out the truth. It would be better if P'Din told me at once.

“Yes, the police suspect it was arson and are looking for the
perpetrators. They are two unknown men, but they have not yet ruled
out the possibility of business involvement.”

“Because Rose caused trouble for P'Din.”

“The reason I don’t want to tell you this is because I know you’ll blame
yourself, Rose. I’ve told you before, it’s not your fault.”

"But…"

“Let’s put this aside and get back to what we agreed on yesterday,
okay?”

Kasama spoke in a soft but firm voice, as if the issue she raised was very
important and still pending. This immediately attracted Tippapha’s
attention.

"Yes!"

“Rose, when you say you care about P'Din, I understand. I also care
and care for you in the same way.”

“P'Din, let's eat quickly, we can continue our conversation later…”

“But when you say you’re jealous, I don’t understand. Can you
explain it to me?”

“...”

“If it’s not an act, Rose, why are you jealous of me?”

Page 213 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Why is P'Din pressuring me so much now?

She's not usually one to ask so many questions, and she never asks about
what happened in the past. She always lets things slide. So why is she
insisting so much now? It's leaving me speechless.

“It’s just… it’s just that I…”

“It doesn’t matter what the reason is, Rose. You can tell me anything. I don’t
want to misunderstand or be seen as a fool.”

“If I tell you, do you promise you won’t look at me differently?”

“Yes, I promise. Go ahead, Rose.”

Tippapha put her hand on P'Din's and he reached out to hold it

affectionately. It was rare for P'Din to touch her like this, and now
there was no one else around to make a fake perfect couple. She
was being genuine and caring towards her.

“It’s just that I… I like…”

“P'Din, are you okay?”

“The fire? What’s going on? Did you bring Lom too?”

“Yes, P'Din, Lom picked me up at the airport along with Fire. When they
heard what happened at the farm, everyone came quickly, worried about
you.”

"..."

Rose was about to tell me the reason for her jealousy, but why did the
others show up unannounced? This made her

Page 214 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

nervous. She quickly removed Din's hand and didn't know what to do. She
even tried to disguise the situation.

“Come on, Lom and Fai, let’s have lunch together. I’ll ask Auntie Chan
to prepare more food.”

“I'll help, Rose.”

“Why the look on your face, P'Din? Aren't you happy that Lom and
Fai came looking for you?”

“You don’t know how to keep a secret, Lom. I already told you not to tell
anyone, so you wouldn’t worry.”

“I didn’t tell, but you know, word got out. It was a scandal.”

“And Fai, if he finds out, he’ll be really angry and complain for days,
saying that you got married and forgot to pay attention to others.”

Now, would it be possible to send everyone away from the farm at once? I
don't want Wayo to return alone like last time, it would be better if
I sent everyone, Apo, Wayo and Atjima, back to their respective places!

“I have something important to tell you, Lom and Fai.”

Kasama looked at the three cousins who were talking

privately inside the house's office.
After mentioning that she had something important to discuss after
lunch, she invited them, with three others present. Tippapha gave her
space, saying that she was going to rest for a while because she was dizzy
from lack of sleep the night before.

“I like Rose.”

“Wow, Lom is so surprised!”

“Yes, Fai is surprised.”

“Is there anything else? That was already obvious.”

“...”

Kasama watched the three of them react, not knowing what to think.
Their reactions didn’t match the words they had said at all. From their
expressions and attitudes, it was clear that none of them were really
surprised or as surprised as they were pretending to be. They were
just being provocative, annoying, and completely indifferent.

“So, everyone already knew about this?”

“Wow, even if you hadn’t said it, I could see under the light that you
like Rose.”

“Hey, ask Lom. Even the planner got confused!

P'Din acting as a disguised wife, I can see that you are really involved.”

“And you, uncle, did you know about this or did Lom and Fai tell
you?”

“How could I not know, P’Din? Even if I was busy with work, I couldn’t
ignore how sweet you and Rose were acting in Prachuap. Even the
employees were talking about it, and the secretary even said
she wanted to see us marry you.”

Was the way she behaved so obvious? Or was it her heart calling her
to act on her deepest feelings? She always told Tippapha that for her, it
was not an act. She cared about her wife, she wanted to take
care of her, protect her.

Page 216 of 413

la, even though she knew she wasn't in a position to feel that way. But
she couldn't control her own feelings.

But she was keeping those feelings inside, not wanting to confess and
make Tippapha feel uncomfortable.
Tippapha already had enough problems to deal with. Furthermore, she
knew that her wife saw her as a trustworthy person who would always
protect her. She didn’t expect Tippapha to reciprocate the same feeling,
but just giving her good feelings made her happy. Even so, she didn’t have
the courage to say anything, afraid that her wife would be uncomfortable
and wouldn’t want to listen.

“P'Din, does Rose know about this?”

“Not yet, Lom. I… haven’t had the courage to tell Rose that I like her.”

“Hey! If you don’t have the courage to tell your wife, how are you going
to do it?”

“Or do you want Fai to tell Rose?”

“No, you don’t need either. I’m going to tell Rose. I only called you guys to
talk because I wanted to ask for advice on how to tell her without making
it awkward, and without making it seem like something was wrong, like
when I asked her to marry me.”

Kasama quickly interrupted her cousin with concern. She knew

that both Wayo and Atjima might be reckless and tell Tippapha
before she had a chance to speak. Still, she wanted to tell the truth
herself and believed that Tippapha might feel the same way, especially
after what his wife had said yesterday about jealousy.

Page 217 of 413

“If Rose says she’s jealous, can I assume she likes me too?”

“Moddaeng, have you had someone organize the room properly

yet? Tonight, you and Fai are going to stay home, right?”

“Everything is ready, Mrs. Rose. Moddaeng has sent people to tidy everything
up until it’s nice and clean.”

“Very well. We cannot let people say that P'Din did not know how to
welcome guests well.”

“Mrs. Rose is an amazing wife, isn’t she? P’Din must be very happy to
have married you.”

“It has nothing to do with that. I’m just helping to ease P’Din’s workload.
It has nothing to do with being an amazing wife.” Tippapha changed the
subject after Moddaeng’s compliment, which made her a little embarrassed,
but she wasn’t going to let people see through it and start making fun of
her.

In truth, she was still a little uncomfortable since she had almost blurted
out her feelings to P'Din, but it was fortunate that Apo and Atjima arrived
in time to interrupt. Otherwise, she would have been unable to look P'Din in
the eye. She didn't know if she would feel the same way. Maybe it
would be better to wait and tell her later, when she was more
confident that she felt the same way.

same.

“I’ll go look for Aunt Chan to see if she needs anything.”

Page 218 of 413

After fulfilling her role as housewife, Tippapha thought she

should do something useful next.
So, he decided to look for Auntie Chan in the back kitchen, but
before he could leave, a car stopped in front of the house, catching
his attention, as well as Moddaeng's, who also looked in the same
direction.

“What car is that, Rose?”

“I don’t know. I’ll go out and see.”

Apo, Wayo, and Atjima were all at home, so it would be strange if

P'Din had any relatives come to visit her after the news of the fire
at her beloved farm. She couldn't let this go. She needed to quickly
go and receive the guests, like an exemplary wife.

“P’Din”

“Kaew?”

“Kaew, sorry it took me so long to come home.

I only heard the news from my father, who called me, so I sped up and
came back from Bangkok. P'Din, are you okay? You weren't hurt
anywhere, right?”

“Kaew, calm down. I’m fine.”

Kasama moved away from the proximity and gently pushed Kaew
away, after being hugged and examined closely by the young woman
who had just gotten out of the car, visibly worried. Kasama understood
the situation, as she knew that Kaew was very worried about her,
since she was in Bangkok for work and could not help her at the time
of the accident.

incident on the farm. She must have been surprised and frustrated
that he wasn't there for her at that moment.

“I’m glad P’Din is okay. I was so worried…”

“Kaew, you’re worrying too much. Even Mrs. Rose, my wife, isn’t that
worried.”

“Never mind, Moddaeng. I’ll go find Auntie Chan. I don’t want to think about
it!”

Tippapha looked away and walked away, trying not to show any
signs of jealousy. Although Moddaeng probably wanted her to get
closer to P’Din and show her position as his number one wife, she chose to
walk away to calm her mixed feelings. After all, they had reconciled
less than 24 hours ago, and P’Din had already hurt her again
without realizing it.

“Hey, Ms. Rose? Why don’t you go talk to P’Din?”

“I’m going to the kitchen. That’s not my place.”

“Mrs. Rose…”

Atjima greeted the beautiful woman, who now seemed distant and with
a pale face, something unusual for her, before passing by Lom and Tippapha,
who would soon realize the situation when they saw Din talking to an
assistant in a more private area, with P'Din watching from afar, arms
crossed, not knowing how long he had been there.

“What happened, aunt? Why is Mrs. Rose so downcast?”

“Ask P'Din, she's the one who started it all.”

Page 220 of 413

“What’s going on, Auntie? Lom and Fai, why are you all here?”

Kasama asked her family members after walking away from Kaew and
entering the house, being intercepted by Apo, Wayo, and Atjima, who were
blocking the way as if they were waiting for her, watching her with
gazes that were hard to read, especially Atjima, who was looking on with
a stern expression.

“Before you say you like Lady Rose, P'Din, take care of your own problems
first.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“About P’Din and Kaew. I saw that she was hugging P’Din and holding his
arm.”

“You’re mistaken, auntie. Kaew came because she was surprised by the
news. Besides, Kaew and I are friends.”
We have worked together for many years. You know Kaew, why are you
getting this wrong?”

“No. It’s not that I misunderstood. The person who’s wrong is Mrs. Rose.”

Apo shook her head slightly to correct the misunderstanding, making

it clear that she was not the one who was confused. To P'Din's wife,
Tippapha, it might be understandable, given what she had seen and her
reactions.

“Why is Mrs. Rose like this?”

“I saw Kaew hugging P’Din. I saw everything like Auntie saw, and
then she just walked away.”

“…”

Page 221 of 413

“Now P'Din is going to get into trouble! His wife is going to abandon
him!”

“Indecisive person! Mrs. Rose, go and resolve it with her!”

“Do I still have to plan their wedding? I’ve never planned a funeral, but I
might have to start booking the hall.”

Should I be touched? Each of my family members is so

supportive!

“You can tell P'Din that Lady Rose asked not to wait for dinner, as she will
be skipping today's meal.”

Moddaeng came to convey her boss's wish, explaining that

today she understood Madam Rose very well and that she was on
the side of the legitimate wife, as she was disappointed with P'Din and
Kaew's behavior.
Moddaeng saw everything clearly and felt that it was inappropriate, as it
was disrespectful to his number one wife. So if Mrs. Rose became
angry and jealous, it wouldn’t be surprising.

“Also, there’s one thing that Madam Rose didn’t ask me to tell you, but
Moddaeng is going to tell P’Din anyway: Madam Rose has packed up
her belongings and clothes and returned to her own room. That’s all.
Moddaeng will be leaving now.”

“Even the employees are so angry with the boss, right?

Lom, there’s no need to investigate, you can clearly see what Mrs. Rose’s
emotional state is now.”

Page 222 of 413

Kasama listened to the information with an uncomfortable

expression, because she didn't imagine that this time she would
have made Tippapha as angry as in the last fights. What she
had been through, sleeping in the office, seemed like something
very small and simple compared to the current situation,
which left her completely confused, not knowing where to
start to try to solve it.
Or maybe if she went to P'Din now to talk and
try to reconcile, when the wife was so
irritated, maybe this time it wasn't Kaew who was
broken, but her head, being thrown at the door as she was
thrown out. "With all this happening, can P'Din still think about
eating?"

“I can’t eat anything, Lom. I just haven’t been able to

think of a proper way to apologize to Mrs. Rose yet. If I don’t
have a good excuse, she’ll either send me away anyway, or
she won’t even open the door for me.”

“But if P'Din stands by and does nothing, the situation will only
get worse. What do we do, uncle? You're the smartest one
among us, so help me find a solution.”

“The person who caused this kind of thing has to resolve it.
I can’t help.”

“Uncle, are you really not going to help me?”

“I can help you with one thing: go and resolve the situation with
her. Marriage issues, no one else can resolve them for
you, P'Din.” Yeah, there
was no point in continuing to stand still without knowing how to
correct the mistake she had made. To sit around waiting any longer.

It wouldn't make things any better, and it wouldn't bring back the
harmonious atmosphere she had with Tippapha. The best thing would be to
go to her and be honest, face the situation and try to save the relationship.

As her family members said, if she knew what she felt and what she thought,
she should have been honest and spoken to Tippapha directly, just as
she had been brave enough to tell them how much she loved Mrs. Rose.
She just had to be honest and express her feelings in front of the
person who was important to her.

If I say that I like Mrs. Rose, will we be able to understand each other again?

“P'Din, don't mess with Rose. I don't want to talk about anything right now."

"I just want to clarify, okay? About what Rose got wrong."

"You can go. I'm not ready to argue with you, P'Din. I'm tired."

"But I have something important to tell you, Rose. At least let me speak,
if you don't believe me, you can kick me out of the room after listening.
I won't bother you anymore."

What could be so important that P'Din wanted to tell? But no... No, don't
be fooled by this speech trying to smooth things over. P'Din is just
the ranch owner who likes to manipulate. Even though she tries not to hurt
Rose, she always brings up the issue with

Page 224 of 413

Kaew, making Rose feel bad. How can I believe P'Din's words now, after
this?

"I beg you, Rose. You told me yesterday that people's timing is not right. If
we don't talk and resolve our differences now, I may never have another
chance to talk to you..."

"I told you, P'Din, not to talk like that. Don't play with life and death!"

"Will you open the door for me to come in and talk now?"

"It's no use anymore, P'Din. If what you're going to say doesn't help me
trust you, I'll send you away immediately."

Kasama quickly entered the room when the door opened slightly, seeing
Rose's tired face. She knew this was the moment to speak before Rose
changed her mind and closed the door, not wanting to do it anymore.

conversation.

"You want to talk, don't you? I gave you a chance to talk,

how much longer are you going to stand there?"

"I like you, Rose."

"Are you serious, P'Din? Will this make me forgive you for the situation
with Kaew?"

"No, it's not that. I really like you, Rose. I really like you."

Tippapha wanted to confess that when she heard those words, her
heart skipped a beat. But still, she couldn’t just ignore the image of P’Din
with Kaew that night. She saw that P’Din tried to pull away, but she
couldn’t help but feel irritated at the sight of another woman.

Page 225 of 413

hugging his P'Din and holding her hand, as if she wasn't wife number
one.

"If you really like me, P'Din, you wouldn't have let someone else hug
you or get so close to you.
If you really cared, you wouldn't want to see me suffering like this, right?
Would you want me to go hug another man and hold hands with him?"

"No, I wouldn't do that, Rose."

"..."

"I know I messed up. Don't make me play with your feelings
anymore, okay? I was just trying to set an example, but I couldn't help it."

Tippapha’s face was now pale and she looked completely lost.
She felt that after P’Din confessed his feelings so directly, without
beating around the bush, she no longer knew what to think. She
was beginning to realize that he was not so different from her, who
also hid emotions.

"Rose, you're not mad at me anymore, are you?"

"No, I'll still think about it. Whether I'll forgive you or not."

She wanted to say that her heart was softer, that her anger had
diminished, as soon as she heard P'Din's voice calling her at the door.
That simple sound was enough to make her heart melt and feel
her attention and affection. How could she resist that?

Especially when she came over and hugged her, something she had never
done before.

"I really like you, Rose."

Page 226 of 413

"You can say you like me, but that's not enough for me to believe you
really do. If you really like me, you couldn't have acted like that with
Kaew, right? Just saying it isn't enough."

"Do you want me to be completely honest?"

"Yes, P'Din. Tell me what you really feel. Stop beating around the
bush and let me understand what you feel. I don't want to be confused
anymore either."

"Will you be my wife?"

"Do you really want me to be your wife, P'Din?"

Oh, this is getting complicated... Kasama!

"Oh, Rose!"

"P'Din, are you okay? I didn't mean to do this..."

Tippapha asked in surprise, after reacting faster than she had

imagined. Hearing P’Din’s words, she ended up raising her elbow with all
her strength, as if it was the same reaction as when she accidentally
knocked over a glass of milk. Now, she shoved her elbow into
P’Din with such force that Din was knocked out of breath and fell onto the
bed, clutching his side, as she quickly walked over to check if she was
okay.

I need to explain that I'm not the type of person to use force, okay? But
P'Din's unexpected words left me so shocked and confused that I
didn't know how to react. She just came out and talked so seriously
about wanting a wife and then asked me if I would like to be her wife.
Who wouldn't be beside themselves with something like that?

"I'm fine, don't worry. I'm not hurt."

Kasama replied with a forced smile, trying to recover after the

unexpected blow from Rose's elbow. The pain was strong, and she had to
lean on the bed, smiling shyly to alleviate the situation.

"But P'Din was the one who did this, scaring Rose. Now you're hurt,
see?"

"I wasn't kidding, Rose."

"You know what you said is a very serious thing, don't you?"

Tippapha looked into P'Din's eyes, waiting for a sign that she was serious.
P'Din nodded,

Page 228 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

confirming that she should trust Din and that he wasn't joking about
what he had just said. Tippapha didn't know if her face was red from the

nervousness or if she was visibly blushing, but now she realized that
her heart was reacting strongly to P'Din's words of "wife."

"I asked you to speak clearly, didn't I?"

"That was clear, but Rose... I wasn't prepared."

"I just want to be clear, I don't want you to get the wrong idea. I really
like you, Rose."

"But our marriage was a lie."

"If I'm honest, I did everything I felt, without putting on an act. For me,
everything I did for you, Rose, wasn't something forced. Are you going to
hate me for thinking that way?"

Kasama confessed her feelings without hiding anything, without wanting to

keep anything secret. Although she was usually a person who
spoke before thinking and then tried to explain, as others always complained
about her confusing communication, for Tippapha,

a single misunderstanding could ruin her happiness. Therefore, she didn't

want there to be confusion with the people important to her.

"Why do you think I would be mad at you, P'Din?"

"Because what I did was beyond my duty. I just wanted to ask you to take
my protection, but I really like you, Rose."

"I like you too, P'Din. So, can we consider that we're okay with
this?"

"What?"

Page 229 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"I said I really like you, P'Din. I really like you, it's not just an act."

Tippapha smiled, finding it cute how her words made Kasama look
completely speechless. She simply responded by saying that she liked her
too and wanted her to know that she was just as happy as she was
that they had finally resolved their misunderstandings and revealed their
feelings to each other.

If we're not fooling ourselves or using the idea of a "fictitious marriage"

as an excuse, we both know that we have feelings for each other. I like
you and I'm happy with all the moments we spend together. I don't
know if what we feel will turn into something like "I love you" or if that
will ever happen, but for now, I don't want to fool myself anymore.

"What's wrong, P'Din? Just because I said I like you, you were
speechless?"

"Do you really like me?"

"Of course. Who would lie about their feelings?"

"Can I hug you?"

"Of course you can! Actually, you didn't have to ask. You could have
hugged me at any time."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude."

"No need to apologize. Hugging someone you love is not wrong."

Kasama smiled broadly, and this time it was Tippapha who moved to hug
Kasama, because she knew that in the state she was in, she would be
slower than the

Page 230 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

another, who was more impetuous. When the feeling of

warmth enveloped her, she decided to return the hug and allow
herself to be close, after they had resolved their misunderstandings.

"On the subject of being a wife..."

"It's not time yet! Although I like you, P'Din, the matter of
being a wife is still early."
"No, it's not that. I just wanted to apologize for speaking so
bluntly, without meaning to sound rude. I really didn't
mean to be rude to you, Rose. I just wanted to be honest and
show you that I mean what I say. Can we start off on the
right foot, what do you think?"

"Start off right, how?"

"Can we really start dating? I mean, can we be a couple,
be girlfriends?"

"P'Din, are you asking me out?"

Did you know that Kasama is now adorable, right? Even
though she was the one who initiated the words about
“wife”, when she teasingly joked, P’Din was so embarrassed
that her cheeks and ears turned red. She nodded,
responding without the courage to say more, as if she
was at a loss for how to ask properly.

"Yes, I accept."

"Thank you so much, Rose."

"Let's start being girlfriends first. If P'Din is a dear girlfriend

who stays by my side and doesn't make me cry, maybe in
the future that person can soften my heart and become my wife."

Page 231 of 413

"..."

If P'Din wants to have a wife, she'll have to behave herself and try, huh?

"Suddenly, every option on the menu is sweeter than ever.

Did Aunt Chan end up spilling some sugar?"

"It's just the same as always, P'Din. It's not sweet at all. Isn't it, Rose?"

"Auntie Chan, Lom, Fai, I'm sorry for disturbing you all by making you
wait until late for dinner."

"It's okay, Rose. The important thing is that you've resolved things with
P'Din."

Tippapha smiled at her family members, who were always trying to

understand her situation, as was P'Din. Even after a little drama and her
making a fuss over a misunderstanding, everyone waited until
she and P'Din had sorted things out so they could eat together
with the others.

"Sorry, auntie, tomorrow you're going back to the resort and I wasn't
able to welcome you properly."

"Don't worry, P'Rose. I don't care. Thank you for making up the
room for us."

"P'Rose? Did P'Din ask everyone to call me that?"

"No. P'Din didn't say anything. Auntie Chan, Lom and Fai said they
wanted to call you that."

Page 232 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

In fact, she had just started dating P'Din, so the term

P'Rose still seemed
far from reality. But if she were to correct it, she would have to
give a long explanation, so she preferred to let it go. After all, if
people were starting to call me that, she preferred to make
it clear that she would accept the title of P'Din's "wife."

"Rose, if P'Din does anything that displeases you, you can

tell me. I'll sort it out for you."

"Now, is Fai on Rose's side?"

"Of course! Of course I'm on her side, P'Din."

"It's no problem, Fai, thank you very much. But if I have any
misunderstandings with P'Din again, I will resolve it with her
directly. I won't let the situation drag on."
Thank you very much to everyone who was concerned."

"I won't let you down, Rose."

"Auntie Chan, there's no need to serve dessert now. Fai already said that
this scene here is sweeter than any dessert."

P'Din told her that he had already told the other three about his
feelings, so she joked a little, making fun of her for taking
longer to tell her than her family. But it was all just a joke,
as she wished P'Din had courted her more. The fact that P'Din
was taking things seriously, even sharing it with important
people in his life, and the fact that she was accepted by Din's
family made her feel more secure about her position.

Ultimately, at the "Saenrak" farm, she was above everyone

else and took the place at the

Page 233 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

P'Din's heart as someone she really liked.

For her, that was enough to make her feel at the top.
Even if someone tried to get in their way, he knew that as long as
they stuck together, no one could interfere.

"P'Din, are you going to work now?"

"Yes, today I'll need to ask Fai to visit Uncle Thip and Rose for me."

"Don't worry, P'Din. I'll take care of Rose for you."

Tippapha turned and looked at Uncle Atjima, who offered to visit

her father in the hospital. After that, P'Din had an important work
commitment and had to leave along with her personal assistant, Madam
Kaew.
This did not make her upset or sad, as she had already cleared
everything with P'Din and was at peace with her. She wanted to act in
accordance with her new position as P'Din's official wife and girlfriend.

Yes, now they like each other and are a couple...

"Don't worry either, Mrs. Rose. Kaew will take care of everything."

"I don't want to bother Mrs. Kaew. P'Din is already an adult, why can't she
take care of herself? Isn't that right, P'Din?"

"That's it, Kaew, you don't have to take care of me."

Page 234 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"But you've just been through a difficult situation. At least I'd like
to help ensure your safety."

"Leave it to the police. You're an assistant, not a bodyguard."

Kasama looked at Atjima, who was smiling at the corner of his

mouth without expressing an opinion or joining the conversation.
Meanwhile, she was looking at her wife, asking for help. In
the morning, Apo went to the airport to return to work, and Wayo
also left to investigate something important that had been
reported. The “Saenrak” farm now had only these
members, and within two days, Atjima would also have to return to
the mine.

"Kaew, go ahead to the car, I'll follow you."

"No problem, P'Din, we can split up here. Father should be

waiting." "Is that so? I'll take
Rose to the car."

"Hey, P'Din, didn't you forget something?"

"Ah!"

"I hope you have a good day. When you're done working,
come home soon. Rose is waiting, P'Din, don't delay."

She then kissed P'Din on the cheek in a tender manner, something

softer and more confident than her previous attempts at showing
affection. What she was trying to do was already clear, but now,
with a more sincere and defined relationship, she was able to give
a more bold kiss, certain of her place in P'Din's life. And this did
not go unnoticed by the assistant, who was watching closely.

"Wait, Rose."

Page 235 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Yes, P'Din..."

"With that, the good morning for me has already begun."

“...”

For both of us, the good morning started when P'Din gave me a kiss
on the cheek in front of Kaew. She seemed more confident and ready
to express her love publicly.

"P'Rose!"

"Yes! What's wrong, Fai?"

"I've seen you thoughtful since we left the farm, so

I decided to start a conversation, because I didn't want us to

remained silent the whole time." "Sorry, I was

just distracted thinking about some things."

But she wouldn't have the courage to tell Fai that she was thinking
about P'Din's kiss, which left her cheek warm and made her heart
beat faster.
After all, it was the first time P'Din had acted so openly and publicly in
front of Kaew. How could she not feel emotional and lose her
composure? It seemed that P'Din had decided not to make her sad
again. If P'Din said that his weak point was not knowing how to
express his feelings, then his actions were saying it all more
clearly than words could ever express.

"Do you already miss P'Din after such a short time?"

"Yes... Oh, no! That's not it, Fai!"

Page 236 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Those who are in love miss each other, it's not strange. It's something
natural."

"It's not love, Fai. To be honest, P'Din and I are still starting to like
each other, so we decided to try dating. Love is still too early for
us, let's leave that for the future."

Tippapha spoke sincerely, as someone who had never been in a romantic

relationship before. Just liking P’Din was something unexpected for her.
Because of this, she felt that using the word “love” would be rash for
someone who considered her as a girlfriend. In just over a month, if she
already declared that all she felt was love, it would seem hasty and
superficial.

"So, love has an expiration date, is that it, Rose? I think love is not
something rigid, there is no formula.
Love is just that, and that's it. You can meet someone in a day, and if it's
love, it's true love. Or you can meet someone for ten years, and
if it's not love, no matter how hard you try, it never will be."

"You talk about love, so you have experience, don't you, Fai?"

"No, P'Rose. For me, love is nonsense. Infatuation can also make you lose
focus. I will never fall in love or lose myself for anyone in my life."

"But you talk about love as if you know everything, Fai."

"P'Lom likes to exaggerate. If she finds someone beautiful, she says it's
love at first sight."

"Should I tell P'Lom that you're talking bad about her?"

The beautiful young woman laughed as she realized that,

Suddenly, Aunt Atjima was badmouthing her sister for no reason.

She didn't know if Wayo was there listening, hidden, since she

had gone out to investigate something important. "You can tell P'Lom,

I don't have
fear of the truth."

"I'm kidding. I don't like causing fights between siblings."

"But there are some people who like to cause discord between couples.

It doesn't matter if it's love or just a crush, P'Rose, trust P'Din."

"...."

"I just want you to trust P'Din, like I do."

"Why did P'Din ask Kaew to stop by Chomchan Farm?"

"I wanted to cut some roses to take to Rose."

"P'Rose is the luckiest woman in the world, isn't she? P'Din cares that much."

"Yes, I love Rose very much."

Kasama talked about the person she had just confessed her feelings
to, but in reality, she meant that she loved him too. However, the word
"like" already made Tippapha almost not believe her. The word "love" would
require more time, and she wanted to let the relationship go.

gradually develop, according to the feelings of both of them.

Although the time they spent together was only a little over a
month, the feeling that was born within her was so clear that
she no longer had any doubts.
She was sure.

I was sure that P'Din fell in love with Rose.

In love, and very much so...

"May I ask why it was Rose?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because P'Din already told me that he didn't care about

love. P'Din didn't want anyone to come and mess with his
life. Do you still remember what he said after Father
Kasidit passed away?"

"I remember, Kaew. I didn't forget what I said."

"So why did you change your mind, P'Din?"

"Because it was Rose who changed me, Kaew. I never
thought I would have the chance to know love. But Rose made
me understand what love is and made me happy again.
So I'm sure I love Rose."
Kasama, with her radiant face, said the words “I love you” for
the first time, to the woman she had given her heart to and
with whom she was ready to spend the rest of her life, caring
for and protecting Tippapha. Even if Thipakorn recovered or
no longer left his daughter in her care, Kasama was sure that
she was ready to formally ask his permission, so that he
would trust her to take care of his important person from now
on.

"Okay, let's go. I need to take the roses to...

Kaew! Why is your hand bleeding?"

"I cut myself, P'Din. I just wanted to pick a rose, but I forgot they have
thorns."

"Is everything okay? You're not hurt, are you?"

"No, P'Din. The cut is small, it didn't hurt me."

"When you get back, put medicine on the wound. If you leave it like
this, it could get infected."

"P'Din, I already told you, it really didn't hurt."

"It's a shame we're playing slower than the Mahattanakorn, we're a step
behind."

"It's not something unexpected. I already imagined that they

would need to eliminate the people hired to work, because they wouldn't
let the girls get close to the real boss."

Today, police found the bodies of two unknown men, presumably

foreign workers, who were taken to a field and left there so
that passersby could find them and alert the police. They are now awaiting
the results of the autopsy to see if there is any connection to the arson
case. But from the characteristics of the bodies, it appears that they may
be the criminals responsible for the fire at the Saenrak Farm, which
occurred a few days earlier, as an attempted assassination attempt.

Page 240 of 413

to mock, saying that they will never be able to get to the real person
responsible.

"These guys are smart and have a well-thought-out plan. That's

why they chose to use foreign workers to do the job, unlike the
time they sent criminals to follow us."

"I think the Mahattanakorn are now feeling overconfident, and they think
we have managed to fool them and that we are at a disadvantage, as we
planned for them to think. Now they think they are above the
law. It is time for us to start playing aggressively and hit back."

"Do you think now is the right time?"

"Yes, but once we start attacking, P'Din and Rose will have to be more
vigilant than ever. I'll send people to help ensure the farm is safe and
prevent them from causing trouble again. Also, it's possible that the traitor
hiding on the farm will reveal his identity very soon."

Watinwanich was never weak. He only retreated when he was

pressured by the other party, assessing the situation with thought and
cunning. If he had resisted against them, the cost would have been
greater. He waited until the enemy began to tire and think himself
victorious, so he was now ready to attack and retaliate with full force.

"Let's begin the attack, Lorn. I'm ready to face whatever comes!"

Page 241 of 413

"Rose! Something big happened!"

"What's wrong, Moddaeng? You're screaming so loud it sounds like

you're trying to destroy the farm!"

"When Moddaeng saw the news on TV, she saw that the police went to
Nabanan Farm and searched with a warrant."

"Has the news on TV ended yet? What did the news say?"

"The news content said that there was information that the father,
Wasupon, and Mr Wasu might be involved in an international drug
trafficking network. Now, the two have been called to testify at
the police station."

Tippapha listened to Moddaeng's news with growing concern. If this was

true, it meant that Wayo and P'Din might be somehow involved in the
search being conducted, as P'Din had told her that Wayo was investigating
a secret of the Mahattanakorn family and that Lieutenant Wayo had
influential contacts in the police.

"If the police have enough evidence to arrest the two of them, that would
mean Rose would be safe now, wouldn't it?"

"It won't be as simple as you think, Moddaeng. I think Mr.

Wasupon and Mr. Wasu will surely find a way to save themselves. They
must have hired good lawyers by now and will not allow the police to
arrest them."

The owner of the beautiful face spoke with a sense of

apprehension and unease. Even though the news that was released
helped her and P'Din feel a little more at ease, since it meant that the

Page 242 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Mahattanakorn probably wouldn't dare to act above the law at this point,
due to the investigation, but that didn't mean she and P'Din could rest
easy or feel safe from bad people.

"Mister Lorn!"

"Rose, you saw the news that came out, right?"

"Yes, but I'm feeling very uncomfortable."

"Why? I think the news about the Mahattanakorn is good for Mrs. Rose's
situation."

"I'm worried about P'Din. Today she went to a seminar too.

Mister Lorn, could you take me to see P'Din?"

"Rose, why don't you wait here? It's already late, and as soon as he
finishes work, P'Din should return to the farm."

Tippapha shook her head, refusing Wayo’s suggestion with a stubborn

feeling, which might even make P’Din’s wife uncomfortable. She knew
that Wayo was not like P’Din, who always obliged her in everything
when she behaved stubbornly. But now, even if Wayo complained silently
or got angry with herself, she would have to insist that the lieutenant take
her to P’Din. Only then would she feel more at ease and could she ease
her anxiety.

"Please, Mrs. Lom, take me to P'Din as soon as possible!"

"Thank you very much, Kasama, for being kind enough to

attend the meeting and be the guest speaker to share your
knowledge."
"It's a pleasure. I hope the experiences I shared about running
Saenrak Farm will be useful to everyone."

"It was very valuable guidance. I am sure that today small

farmers and business owners have learned a lot."

"I also thank Mr. Pramote for remembering me. Anyway, now I
have to go."

Kasama bid farewell to those present after the successful

conclusion of the meeting. Everything was going well, and
besides, she had already heard some good news from Wayo.
So she was not so surprised to hear the assistant talk about
the Mahattanakorn family’s movements, who were being
investigated and playing an aggressive game.
He heard this with some tranquility.

"Mrs. Din, I heard that the Nabanan farm was raided by the
police, right? They found evidence of links to a drug trafficking
ring. Now, Mr. Wasupon and Mr. Wasu are being questioned
at the police station."

"It's really big news, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's big news. But why aren't you surprised by it, Din? I
was very surprised
when I saw the news."

"I'm not surprised by something I already knew."

"Like this?"

Page 244 of 413

The boss looked at her assistant, who seemed more surprised than she
was. After hearing Kasama’s calm response, she kept her expression
neutral, not getting nervous or anxious. To her, this was just the beginning
of an aggressive game. She and Wayo knew that this would not be
enough to incriminate the Mahattanakorn family. It would take more time
and caution to solve the crimes, and that would not be easy.

"It's not just the Mahattanakorn who are watching my movements."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I suspect there is a traitor infiltrating the Saenrak farm. Do you have
any suspicions about this?"

"No, I don't. Is something like that going on? Do you have any suspects in
mind? I can help watch and keep an eye out."

"Don't worry about it. Let me take care of it."

"So, what do you say we head back to the farm now? I'll get the car to take
you."

"You can go get the car. I'll go out and wait in front."

Kasama looked at the assistant who waved and went to the hotel
parking lot to get the car. At that moment, Tippapha’s phone rang,
and she quickly answered it.

[Has P'Din left yet, Rose?]

"Yes, I'm done with the work. I'm going to the farm now."

[I asked Lorn to take me to you. We are waiting in front of the

Page 245 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

hotel.]

"Rose, did you come to pick me up? You didn't need to worry so much, I
was already on my way there."

[I was worried about you. When I saw the news, I became very anxious.]

"Don't worry about it. Where is Lorn's car?

I'll go out and find you."

[P'Din, don't you see Rose? Your fan is here waiting to take you home.]

"Stay where you are, I'll find you soon."

Tippapha spoke in a cheerful voice. She was waiting across the street,
waving at P’Din, who was coming over with a smile. The simple
happiness of seeing each other and smiling together was enough to fill their
hearts with joy. “Rose, watch out!” Bang!

But it seemed like Tippapha's happiness was taken away from her in a
second...

After hearing P'Din's desperate scream calling out his name with a
panicked expression, Wayo pulled her away from the line of fire of a gun
that a criminal was stealthily aiming from behind a tree near the hotel.
Wayo then grabbed his gun and prepared to shoot back. Fortunately,
P'Din noticed the danger before the criminal, which prevented the attack.

However, the criminal diverted the shot from his aim to hit the person
who was protecting her. The bullet hit P'Din, piercing her body and
causing blood to run down the white shirt she was wearing, which was
the best choice for that day. Kasama's body was

Page 246 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

gradually falling to the ground, with her rushing to support her body.

"P'Din!"

"Lom, protect Rose."

"Someone please call an ambulance!"

Chaos ensued before onlookers began to gather around the hotel after
hearing the gunshot.
Several more shots followed as Lieutenant Wayo tried to stop the
criminal, but unfortunately could not pursue him to arrest him as she was
concerned for the safety of Din, who was injured, and Tippapha.

"Resist, P'Din, don't sleep, talk to me, please..."

"Rose..."

"P'Din, you can't leave me. Don't leave me like this..."

"Don't cry."

Kasama fought against the pain of her still-bleeding wound and forced a
smile. Even though Tippapha was not afraid and was helping to staunch
the bleeding with her hands, staining her clothes with the fresh blood,
P'Din's weakness was clear. The blood continued to flow, and she was
losing strength, on the verge of losing consciousness.

"I love you, P'Din."

"...."

But it seemed that her words of love did not reach P'Din, who was already
unconscious due to the severity of his injuries. No matter how much she
tried to express how much she loved him, the words could not reach the
one who could no longer hear.

Page 247 of 413

"Do you hear me, P'Din? Please open your eyes to hear my words of love.
Come back, hear my love for you..."

Please don't let Rose's words of love be spoken too late.

Chapter 13

Requited and unrequited love.

"Doctor, how is P'Din? She's safe, right?"

"Fortunately, the bullet did not hit any vital organs.

We performed surgery to remove the bullet, and now the patient is out of
danger."

"Can I come in and visit you?"

"At the moment, family members are still unable to visit her.
We will take the patient from the operating room to the recovery room. If
she is free of infection and recovers well, we will be able to
release her to continue her recovery at home in a few days. Don't worry."

"Thank you so much, Doctor. Thank you for saving P'Din's life."

Tippapha expressed her gratitude in an emotional voice to the doctor

for saving P'Din's life, who was now out of danger. She had lost
consciousness before being taken to the hospital, and Rose, along with
Wayo, waited anxiously for news in front of the operating room.

After a long time, the doctor finally brought good news, confirming that
P'Din had kept his promise and would not abandon her before hearing
something important from her lips.

"Now that the doctor has confirmed that P'Din is safe, how about you go back
and get some rest, Ms. Rose?
Tomorrow morning, I will bring her back to the hospital to be with her."

"No, Mrs. Lom, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here until P'Din wakes up."

Page 249 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"At least take a shower and change your clothes. Your clothes are
covered in blood."

"I've already asked Moddaeng to bring me clean clothes and

personal items to change into right here. I'll be staying at the hospital
with P'Din."

Rose wasn't going anywhere. She wouldn't leave her at a time when she
needed support and someone by her side more than ever. She wanted to
be the first person P'Din would see when he opened his eyes, just as she
anxiously waited for her father, who was also in the ICU of the same
hospital, to wake up and see her again.

She prayed that the two people she loved would come back to be by her
side...

"Mr. Wasu! What are you doing?"

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me with a more serious

expression than the police investigating my farm?"

"Why did you send someone to shoot Ms. Din? That wasn't in the deal."

"Calm down, let's talk without any emotions on display.

After all, we're on the same side, aren't we? Why fight amongst
ourselves, Kaew?"

Wasu mentioned the name of Kasama's loyal assistant, Kaew, which

the naive Kasama never
suspected. Din trusted her so much that he had no idea that Kaew was a
traitor, providing

Page 250 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

information about the movements of the Saenrak farm to facilitate

Mahattanakorn's plans.

"You broke your word first. You hurt Mrs.

Din. I no longer have any reason to honor our agreement. I came here to
say that from now on, I will no longer send you any information about the
Saenrak farm. I am withdrawing!”

"If you've entered the game, you won't get out as easily as you want, Kaew."

Kaew glared at Wasu’s subordinates blocking the exit. They looked

intimidating, as if they were telling her that she had thrown herself into the
lion’s den to get what she wanted. But now that Mahattanakorn had
played dirty with someone important to her, Kaew was willing to give
up. However, Wasu didn’t seem inclined to let her off so easily.

"If you don't keep helping me, I can guarantee that Din will know the
whole truth. She will find out that you have loved her for over a decade, but
she never saw it. She chose Rose as her wife, even when the place by
her side should have been yours. Are you really going to give up now? If
we stay together, in the end, Din will be yours, and Rose... I will take
care of her."

"And how can I trust you not to hurt Din again?"

"Come on, Kaew. Everyone makes mistakes. In fact, I didn't even send
anyone to attack Din today. Why would I do that, knowing that you're giving
me information so I can separate Rose from her?"

"If it wasn't you, then who could have done it? Din has no other enemies."

Page 251 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"It was probably my father. He was pissed that Din defied him,
so he decided to just scare her. It wasn't meant to be fatal."

Wasu mentioned that Din was only shot once and that it
wasn't something to kill her. Furthermore, according to him, his
father just wanted to show that Din had messed with the
wrong person. If he really wanted to kill her, he would have shot
her in the head once.
"I don't care if it was you or your father, Wasupon. What
matters is that if you want me to continue passing on
information about the farm, you must not let something like
this happen to Din again."
"Okay, I promise I won't let mistakes like this happen
anymore. Let's complete our plan successfully."
"As for Rose, do whatever it takes and resolve this soon,
before I lose my patience. Because if you don't find a way to
get her away, I'll take care of it myself!"

"That's why I enjoy working with you, Kaew.

You are relentless."

"..."

The owner of the delicate face, who had just regained

consciousness, looked around the clean, white room,
smelling the characteristic smell that indicated she was in a
hospital. Kasama adjusted the focus of her vision for a
moment until she noticed the warmth of the hand holding hers.
The person who had given him that warmth throughout the night
was asleep next to him, without moving away.

Page 252 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Rose..."

"P'Din! Are you awake?"

"Yes..."

Kasama replied in a hoarse and weak voice, as if she still didn’t have
much strength to speak. The pretty-faced young lady immediately
hurried to pour a glass of water and adjusted the bed to help her drink
through a straw, moistening her dry throat.

"Why are you crying?"

"It's just... I'm so happy! Really happy."

"Crybaby."

Din smiled softly as she ran her hand over Tippapha’s soft cheek,
who was crying with joy at seeing her return from the brink of death. At
that moment, Kasama admitted that when she was shot, she had felt
fear. Not of the end of her life, but of the fact that after death, Tippapha
would no longer be by her side. That was why, no matter the
hardships, she had fought to return and protect her, as she had promised.

"P'Din, promise you'll never leave me."

"Yes..."

"Promise first."

"I promise."

"Without you, I wouldn't be able to continue living."

Tippapha spoke in a low tone, filled with uncertainty and fear, as he held
Kasama's hand against his face.

Page 253 of 413

and placed a soft kiss on her back, a gesture full of love and care.

"I don't even have a wife yet."

"What?"

"I won't die so easily."

"P'Din! This is no time to joke around. I'm serious. I'm very worried about
you. That criminal was aiming for me, but you ended up getting hurt
instead of me."

"That's not true. They were probably targeting me from the start."

"Since I came back into your life, it seems like I've only brought you
trouble."

"That's not true. Don't think like that. You are the happiness of my life."

Kasama shook her head vigorously in disagreement, not

caring about the pain in the surgery wound on her abdomen. She
would not allow the person she loved to continue with a misunderstanding,
insisting that she was her happiness, not a burden.

"P'Din, don't move or make any sudden movements. What if the stitches
open?"

"I'll force the stitches to break if you don't stop blaming yourself."

"But..."

"How about instead of blaming yourself, you take care of me? That way, I'm
sure I'll recover quickly."

Page 254 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"You don't even need to ask, I already want to take care of you myself."

Din smiled as he realized he had managed to make his beloved stop

blaming herself. Then, with a spontaneous gesture, Kasama brought her
soft hand closer, which was holding his, and placed a soft kiss on the
back of his beautiful wife's hand. Tippapha, understanding the gesture,
extended his hand to make it easier, preventing her from moving too
much.

"Right now, it feels like me, Na and Fai are intruders, doesn't it?
We've flown to Chiang Rai more times than birds."

"Nah, Lom, Fai... Why didn't you knock on the door before coming in?"

"..."

Tippapha, with a start, pulled away from Kasama, quickly withdrawing

her hand while displaying a face flushed with embarrassment. Her
expression was so transparent that Fai could not help but smile amusedly.
Everyone there had witnessed the sweetness between the two, especially
with the arrival of Apo, Wayo and Atjima, who had come
together to visit Kasama that morning at the hospital.

"P'Din, could you take better care of yourself? If you keep getting
hurt every week, Nah will end up saying the resort is going bankrupt."

"Fai, it's not like I want to get shot. It hurts, you know?"

"Lom has already been shot by bandits. It's only a little more painful
than an ant bite. But P'Din is all dramatic because he's asking for
pampering from his wife."

Page 255 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"You only got grazed by a bullet, Lom. When I came to visit you, you were
complaining so much I thought I'd have to amputate your leg. P'Din was
hit by a lodged bullet, and it required surgery to remove it."

"No! No need to bring up old stories!"

"You guys can continue arguing at home. Leave P'Din here with Rose."

"A-ha! P'Din wants to be alone with his wife, huh? Fai knows his stuff."

Tippapha let out a laugh as he saw P'Din give him a slightly irritated look.
She seemed slightly bothered by the presence of her family
members, who were teasing her while they were paying a family visit in the
middle of the hospital. Besides, Fai seemed willing to stay longer, having
already found a place to settle down.

"Rose! Something serious happened!"

"Moddaeng, what's wrong? Don't shout, this is a hospital, not our home."

"Mr. Thipakorn... He's woken up! The doctor said he regained

consciousness a little while ago. I came running to tell you!"

"My father!"

"P'Din, don't try to get up. Fai will accompany Rose to see her father.

Take care of P'Din, Ná and Lom."

Kasama watched as Atjima volunteered to accompany Tippapha in her

place, as she could not force herself to get out of bed because of the
surgery. Even if she tried to drive, the effort would tear her stitches.

Page 256 of 413

surgery. Apo and Wayo insisted that she wait for good news right there.
Kasama, although apprehensive about not being able to go, felt relieved
to realize that after going through such a difficult situation, they
finally seemed to be getting good news.

“Khun Din, Kaew came to visit you.”

“Ah, Khun Kaew, please come in.”

“Hello, Khun Ná, Khun Lom.”

Kasama looked a little disappointed when she realized that the person
who had just arrived was not the person she had expected,
bringing good news. It was not Tippapha, but Kaew, who had come to visit
her in the hospital. Kaew greeted Apo and Wayo, who were
also in the room, in a friendly manner, showing that they had known
each other for many years.

“Kaew, thank you so much for coming to visit me.”

“Khun Din, how are you? Does the wound hurt a lot?”

“I’m fine, Kaew. In a few days the doctor will release me to continue my
recovery at home.”

“I’m so lucky you’re safe, Khun Din. I only heard about it from my father
when I got back to the farm. Hearing that you were shot made me very
worried. This morning, before I came to the hospital, I stopped by a temple
to make merit and pray that you won’t get hurt again. I’m very worried
about you.”

Page 257 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“But yesterday, when it happened, Khun Kaew didn’t know anything? You
were at the seminar with P’Din, why did you only find out from Uncle
Kla?”

“I really didn’t know, Khun Lom. When we parted ways, Khun

Din asked me to pick up the car from in front of the hotel. That’s why I
didn’t see anything. When I came back with the car, I couldn’t find her. I
tried calling, but no one answered. I only found out about it from my father.”

“Lom, don’t pressure Kaew. She must have been very scared too.”

Wayo interrupted the line of questioning as he thought Kaew's answer

didn't sound very convincing.
Considering that the incident was so serious, with a large number of
onlookers at the scene, it was strange that Kaew hadn't noticed anything.

“And Khun Rose? Where is she? Didn’t she come to stay with you,

Khun Din? My father said that she didn't go back to

farm since last night.” “Khun Rose went to visit the

Mr. Thipakorn. It seems he has woken up...”

“Nah, go check on Khun Rose. She’s been gone for a while and hasn’t
come back yet. Tell her I miss her, please.”

Kasama intentionally interrupted, causing Apo to stop talking before

sharing important information in front of Kaew. Apo understood
the situation and left the room without revealing anything unnecessary.

“Khun Lom, why don’t you take a break to eat?

I'll stay here with
Khun Din until Khun Rose comes back.”

Page 258 of 413

“No need. You can leave, Kaew, and so can Lom.”

“But how will Khun Din be alone? You are still injured and can’t move
properly.”

“My wife will take care of me. Leave it to Khun Rose. Don’t worry, Kaew.”

"Spirit, return, return to Khun Din. May Khun Din be free from all misfortunes."

"Thank you, Aunt Chan. And thank you all for your concern."

Kasama expressed her gratitude to Aunt Chan, the elder of Saenrak

Farm, for her kind blessings, as well as to the farm workers who had
gathered to welcome her back home. They had probably heard the news
from Uncle Kla, the head of the workers, that the doctor had allowed her to
leave the hospital and continue her recovery at home today.

"Let's go inside so you can rest, P'Din."

Tippapha gently supported his wife as they walked slowly into the
house. Four days had passed since P’Din was ambushed and shot in
broad daylight, but the police had yet to catch the culprit. In fact, the
latest lead suggested that the suspect might have fled the country to go into
hiding. The investigation into the suspicions involving the Mahattanakorn
family also seemed to be progressing very slowly.

Page 259 of 413

"Finally, I'm back home. I've missed this place so much."

"And P'Din didn't miss me either?"

"But N'Rose was with me in the hospital every day."

"So that means you didn't miss me?"

"I missed the house—especially with N'Rose in it.

Being at home with you is much better than being in the hospital."

Such a clever and sincere answer left her, who was hopelessly in love with
P'Din, completely enchanted. If P'Din had simply replied directly that he
missed her, it wouldn't have made her heart race and flutter as much
as this fondly thought-out answer did.

"Exactly! Rose won't let P'Din change the mood by staying in a hospital
again."

"I don't want to get hurt anymore either. It takes so many days to
recover before I can go back to work."

"Forget about work for now, okay? Don't even think about it. Just rest
and let me take care of you now."

"Sorry for making N'Rose work so hard to take care of me, when I know
you'd also like to spend more time taking care of Mr. Thip."

"Just knowing that P'Din is safe and seeing that Dad is starting to
show positive signs is enough to make me happy."

"Mr. Thip will make a full recovery for sure."

"Rose, may I ask why P'Din wanted me to keep Dad's recovery

a secret?"

Tippapha asked about something that had been troubling and worrying
her, but that she had not yet had the opportunity to discuss openly, as it
was not appropriate to discuss it in the hospital. She waited to
question P’Din at home. Now that her father had awakened and was able
to breathe on his own, the doctor authorized the removal of the
ventilation tube and the replacement of an oxygen mask. Although he was
still unable to communicate or talk, and still required ongoing care,
the fact that he had awakened was already great news to her. “It is
because I suspect that there is an informant from Wasu infiltrated into the
Saenrak farm. If this information were to leak out, I fear that Mr. Thip
would be in even

greater danger.”

“Are you saying there is a traitor, P'Din?”

“Yes. I haven’t come to a conclusion yet as to who it is, but only you,
me, my family members, and Moddaeng know about it. Don’t let this
information reach anyone else.”

“Don’t worry, P’Din. I’ve already instructed Moddaeng to keep this a

secret.” Moddaeng even swore that rather than be struck by lightning, she
would rather never have anyone interested in her. With such
dedication, it was certain that she would keep my father’s condition a
complete secret. But who was the traitor P’Din mentioned at the
Saenrak Farm?

“But now, P'Din, how about getting some rest? That way you'll recover
faster.”

Page 261 of 413

“I’m fine now. I rested so much in the hospital that I got bored.”

“Don’t insist, P’Din. Didn’t you hear the doctor say that you need to
get plenty of rest?”

“I heard the doctor, just as I heard something you said to me.”

“What did I say?”

“I have a feeling that before I passed out, you said something to me. But I
couldn’t hear it properly. Could you repeat it for me?”

“...”

P'Din was talking about the time Rose confessed her love...

At that moment, she spoke impulsively, without hesitation, because

she was overcome with fear and out of her mind.
She had said “I love you” dozens or hundreds of times, both at the scene of
the incident and on the way to the hospital. But now that she had
asked it so directly and with an innocent smile, how could she
suddenly say it again without warning? She was completely
speechless.

“Can you say that to me one more time?”

“Do you want to hear it that much, P'Din?”

“Yes, please say so.”

“Then come closer, P'Din. That way I can tell clearly.”

Kasama approached her beloved with obedience and kindness, like

the good wife she was. Tippapha then,

Page 262 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

played a trick, approaching to whisper only a “good night” in her ear, instead
of the words P'Din expected. As a complement, he gave her a light kiss
on the cheek, in an attempt to convince her to rest and sleep well.

“Good evening, P'Din, my most lovely girlfriend,” said Rose.

"Tonight, Aunt Chan will prepare P'Din's favorite dishes, won't she? P'Din
told me that she is tired of the hospital food and really misses the taste
of Aunt Chan's cooking."

"If P'Din said so, then I'll cook to my best!"

"Is there anything I can help you with? I'll be your assistant.
So when P'Din wakes up, he'll have a delicious meal waiting for him."

"So please help auntie wash the vegetables and cut them to prepare
everything."

"Of course, Aunt Chan! You can trust my work."

At the very least, she wanted to participate in preparing this special

meal to welcome P’Din back home. It made her feel useful, just as P’Din
had prepared breakfast for her on the first day after their wedding. Although
she wasn’t very skilled in the kitchen, with Aunt Chan’s guidance and
teachings, she believed that she could develop as a chef.

a real housewife in the future and become the best wife for P'Din,
not just in name. "Rose, what are you doing here?"

"I'm helping Aunt Chan in the kitchen!"

"Then you need to stop for a moment and come with me now."

"I'm busy. If there's anything, just say it, Moddaeng."

"Mrs. Kaew came to the house. She said she wanted to talk to
P'Din about work. When I told her she was resting, she said she would wait.
Now she's sitting in the living room. What should I tell her, Rose?"

Does this Mrs. Kaew think she can meddle wherever she wants just
because she considers herself close to P'Din? It's already clear that
between the two of them, I'm P'Din's legitimate wife and number one
girlfriend. Moddaeng has already told her that she needs to rest, but Mrs.
Kaew still insists on
wait.

"Leave it to me, Moddaeng! I'll handle this myself!"

"Hello, Mrs. Rose."

"Madam Kaew, if it's something work-related, you can leave it to me. I'll let
P'Din know. She's resting right now, so it wouldn't be convenient for
her to discuss work."

Page 264 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"It's okay, Mrs. Rose. Since I'm free today, I'll wait until she wakes up."

"But we don't know exactly when she'll wake up."

"No problem. I can wait until tonight if necessary. My house is right

there, very close by."

Tippapha glanced at Moddaeng, who seemed to be urging her with all

her might to show her position as wife number one. Moddaeng probably
realized, as she did, how insistent and resistant Madam Kaew was.

In fact, any normal person would have already retreated when faced
with such an answer, but Madam Kaew seemed willing to stay no
matter what was said.
How could she politely kick her out? The only remaining solution would be
for her and Moddaeng to literally carry and throw the woman out of the
house. However, if they did that, it would certainly cause a scandal.

Even though P'Din liked her very much, if she acted rudely, she would
probably get a scolding.

She wasn't willing to lose her mind to someone she didn't trust at all!

"Can I speak to P'Din privately about work?"

"P'Din, then I'll wait outside. When I'm done talking about work, tell Mrs.
Kaew to call me, so I can bring you dinner."

Page 265 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Don't worry, Rose. Stay here with me, you don't have to go anywhere."

"But what I'm going to talk to you about is something important, which
you asked me to investigate."

"Kaew, I have no secrets from my wife."

"..."

Kasama made it clear that Tippapha did not need to move from
where she was. Otherwise, if her wife became upset or upset with
Mrs. Kaew, she did not want there to be any more misunderstandings,
especially with her body still recovering. If her wife were to get
really angry, she would not be able to run after her to apologize, since even
standing up and walking was still painful.

"What is it, Kaew? What did you want to tell me?"

"Kaew thinks that... she's not sure yet. Let her be sure and then she'll
report to P'Din again."

"You can tell me, otherwise you'll have come here for nothing today."

"Don't worry, anyway, I brought the documents for you to sign."

"Thank you, Kaew."

"So, I'll be leaving now, okay? Bye, P'Din, Mrs. Rose."

Tippapha watched as Madam Kaew left without waiting for her to follow.
Although her words sounded understanding, she was not really being
sincere. Letting Madam Kaew into P'Din's room was uncomfortable
for Tippapha, especially with P'Din

Page 266 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

not wanting to go out to speak in the workroom. If P'Din had not stopped
her, Tippapha would have retreated with her bag and baggage to another
place and become upset.

"Rose."

"Yes?"

"Come closer to me, please. I can't come to you."

"What is it, P'Din?"

"Sit here next to me. I have something to talk about."

Kasama looked at her beloved, who came over and sat next to her on
the bed after hearing the light invitation.
However, Tippapha’s face was cutely sullen, as if she wasn’t trying,
but it still looked charming to her. She couldn’t help but give her cheek
a light pinch, before being looked at with a confused look that she probably
wouldn’t understand.

"You're so cute."

"I'm trying to control my own frustration, I don't see how this can be cute."

"Even if I have to say it a million times, I'll tell you, Rose, that there's nothing
between me and Kaew."

"I know, P'Din. I believe what you say, but my heart aches. Whenever
I see Mrs. Kaew approaching you, I can't help but feel like this.

I don't know why, but I don't like myself for it."

"But I like it, I like it a lot."

Page 267 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Tippapha looked at his wife as she gently caressed his

cheek with her fingertips, before switching to a more careful
and gentle touch as she continued to complain and complain.
P'Din must have been lovely and very patient to be able to
listen to her complaints without interrupting her.

"You don't have to be so sweet. I know you're disappointed in me for

not being able to control my own feelings. I didn't mean to get mad.
P'Din got out of the hospital, and I planned a celebration, but it was all
ruined because of my nonsense with Mrs. Kaew."

"If you can't solve it yourself, would you like me to help you?"

"Does P'Din have a solution?"

"I think so."

"What solution is that? I think now, not even an elephant could
stop me..."

"I love you, Rose."

"..."

"I love you the same way you told me you love me."

P'Din was a cheater! At the very least, if she said "I love you",
she should have expected Rose to respond with "I love you
too", so that Rose would know that she was completely
conscious and completely in her right mind. But before Rose
could even open her mouth to say "I love you too", P'Din's
lips kissed her in the same spot, softly and gently,

Page 268 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

which made her heart melt and break at the touch.

It was such a careful kiss, as if she were her wife, slow and tender,
and although the first touch was something new and different, there
was no rush. When she finally managed to focus and react according to her
feelings and desires.

Rose didn't know what a kiss should be like.

But she would kiss P'Din her way...

"Ahh, Rose!"

"Ah, P'Din! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that!"

Tippapha complained, blushing deeply as she pulled away from the

first exciting kiss, which had felt so good that her hands and feet were
restless. She began to press on P'Din's clothes, even unintentionally
pressing right next to her surgery area.

How lucky she was not to have opened her wound!

"Don't worry. Now, Rose, are you feeling better?"

"Yes, it looks like your solution worked."

"So next time you get jealous, I'll use this solution."

"..."

So from now on, Rose will be jealous of the wind, the cats and dogs, the
trees and leaves, everything! Let's see!

Chapter 14

Two flowers close to the ground.

“Kaew, greet Mr. Kasidit, daughter. And this is his daughter,

Khun Din.”

“Hello, Khun Kasidit. Hello, Khun Din.”

Page 270 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

The first time she met Mr. Kasidit and Khun Kasama, Kaew
remembers well. She was 16, in high school, and it was her first time
visiting Saenrak Farm, where her father worked. Normally, she
lived with her aunt in Chiang Mai, her father’s sister, who helped her with
her studies while her father paid the expenses. Her mother, she knew,
had divorced her father when she was still a child, and later remarried,
with no further contact with her daughter.

Now, she had to move permanently to Saenrak Farm after her aunt
passed away in an unexpected accident. Her father then asked Mr.
Kasidit to kindly let his daughter live with him. The farm owner, a kind and
generous person, readily agreed, saying that he would help pay for
her education, just as he did for other children of farm workers
who wanted to study and get a higher education.

“Kaew, you’re Kaew, aren’t you? You can consider Saenrak Farm your
home now.”

“Thank you very much. Mr. Kasidit’s kindness is something my father

and I will never forget. I will help with the farm work to repay him.”

“That’s not necessary. I heard your father mentioned that you’re good at
studying, right? So, study hard. Who knows, maybe you can pass the
entrance exam and study at the same university as Din.”

“If you need help, you can ask. Your father said that Uncle Kla’s daughter
is the same age as me. So, you can consider me your friend here.”

Page 271 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“I, I don’t think I’m worthy of being Khun Din’s friend. I’m the daughter of a
worker, and Khun Din is the daughter of the owner.”

“To be friends, do we have to know who the father is, Kaew? I don’t think so.

I consider you my friend. What about you? Would you like to be my friend?”

“Yes, I would like to be friends with Khun Din.”

She wanted to be friends with Khun Din, who had always treated her
with a bright smile and a kind manner since their first meeting, without
appearing proud or distant. And throughout the time they had been friends,
Khun Din had never shown any barrier or difference in status, as if she were
just a worker's daughter, while Khun Din was the daughter of the farm
owner.

She was both a friend and a trusted assistant to Khun Din, someone whom
Khun Din herself trusted, and had been by her side at all times. She was
fortunate enough to be able to study at the same university as Khun
Din, go out together to have fun, help with the work at Saenrak Farm, and
be by Khun Din's side like a shadow.

As a constant presence by Khun Din’s side since he lost his father, Kasidit,
Khun Din never thought of opening her heart to anyone else or replacing him
after this great loss. But in the darkest moments of Khun Din’s life, when
she looked around, she would always find her there, as if she were secretly
watching Khun Din.

Page 272 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

for over ten years, since they were 16 years old. Time passed
and the two were now in their early twenties
years.

The first major change in Khun Din’s life that made the
happiness and smile of the old Khun Kasama disappear was
the departure of her father, Kasidit. After that, Khun Din,
the person she had always secretly watched,
completely changed. But despite all this, she never thought
of moving away or abandoning Khun Din, and still wished
to be by his side until the day Khun Din finally looked at
her.

Because Khun Din was the whole world to her...

She had always believed that their closeness and time
together could give her the opportunity she had been waiting
for. But when another big change came into Khun Din’s life,
bringing back the joys that had been lost, instead of
being happy to see Khun Din back to his former vibrant and
happy self, she felt an almost unbearable pain, because
Khun Din’s happiness was with someone else, not her!

"I can't believe you, Khun Kaew, are so generous as

to agree to be the master of ceremonies for Din's
wedding. You always leave me speechless with so many
amazing things about you."
"Khun Wasu?"

At the wedding of Khun Kasama and Khun Tippapha, Khun

Din asked her to be the master of ceremonies for the event,

Page 273 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

and she accepted without hesitation. Although she secretly held the
pain in her heart, seeing the person who had always been by her side
follow a path that did not include her, but another woman. She chose to
endure this painful feeling, in exchange for continuing to be by
the side of the one she loved as a close friend.

"This supporting role doesn't suit you, Khun Kaew. It's like me, who could
never adapt to the role of a supporting character, and would just let Din
take Rose without doing anything about it."

"Because I'm not like you, Khun Wasu. I'm someone who accepts
the truth..."

"Ah, Khun Kaew, you're just fooling yourself. But how long will you continue
to fool yourself, saying that you don't feel anything, even though you saw Din
marry another woman, while you took care of her for so long? Is
she stupid or is she pretending to be stupid so she doesn't realize that you
love her?"

"Stop saying that, Khun Wasu!"

Even though this was a private place and no one could hear their
conversation, the other side kept firing words, as if he was waging
psychological warfare on her. Khun Wasu knew exactly how
she felt about her boss, after she had avoided him back in college when
he had tried to appear interested in her just for fun, wanting to take her
away from Khun Kasama.

But his wealth and appearance, which attracted so many women,

were not enough to win her heart.

Page 274 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"If you don't want to lose Din, then join me. I guarantee that you'll get her
back, and I'll get Rose back as well. It'll be a win-win. Think about it,
Khun Kaew. I'll be waiting for your contact."

She did not contact Wasu or the Mahatthanakorn immediately

after receiving the proposal and simply let the matter pass, as if she
did not want to burden her mind with it. She continued to act the same way,
working with Khun Din and taking care of her as she always had.
However, the person who started to change was not her, but Khun
Tippapha, who showed displeasure every time she was around
Khun Din, even though Khun Tippapha already had everything: the title of
lady of the “Saenrak” farm and Khun Din by her side. Why did she need
to bother him any further?

Perhaps the phrase "it's okay", which she repeated to herself millions

of times, had reached the breaking point, causing her to lose her

patience.

Because after Khun Tippapha stopped her from going to Chiang Mai with

Khun Din, it was on that day that she contacted Khun Wasu and agreed to

collaborate to achieve both of their goals. The flower of "Kaew", which

means...

kindness and purity, has changed so much, all because of one

only word: love!

Page 275 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“Kaew, what are you doing here?”

“Nothing. I was just about to leave.”

“But Moddaeng saw you secretly looking into Khun Din’s
room with Khun Rose,
didn’t she?”

“Moddaeng must have made a mistake. I was just

handing over some documents, that’s all.”
"But…"

Kaew did not give Khun Tippapha’s employees a chance

to continue their accusation. She quickened her pace and
quickly left the area, as fortunately Moddaeng, who had
just passed by, did not see her clearly.
Otherwise, she would have caught her spying on their private
moment in the room, through the crack in the door that Kaew
had purposely left ajar when she left. And Kaew had witnessed
the painful scene that she didn't want to see, including the
conversation where Khun Din clearly chose to protect Khun
Tippapha.
It was as if Khun Din had never chosen Kaew...

The person with the calm expression returned to her own

home, which was not far from the farm owner’s main house.
She opened the drawer, took out a photo of herself with
Khun Din, and stared at it with mixed emotions.
Before Khun Tippapha came to Saenrak Farm, everything was
better for her. She was someone Khun Din cared about,
worried about. Even if there was no love, he never ignored
her as if she was unimportant.

Page 276 of 413

But now, everything had completely changed!

“Hello, Khun Wasu.”

[Khun Kaew, I was waiting for you to decide when you would
make your choice.]

“I'm ready to act now. It'll all be over soon!”

[Great. I'm tired of wasting time playing with them too.]

“Actually, Khun Rose, why would Moddaeng make up something

to deceive you?”

“Well, it doesn’t make sense, Moddaeng. Yesterday I saw with

my own eyes that Kaew had already left.”
“Ah, but Moddaeng saw with her own eyes that Kaew was
standing there making a strange face and peeking near
the door to Khun Din’s room. I don’t know what she saw, maybe
she saw Khun Din and Khun Rose...”

“Don’t be ridiculous, Moddaeng!”

“What? I didn’t say anything about what I saw. This isn’t a sign
that Khun Rose is nervous, is it?”
Yes, she was nervous, because anything anyone said
made her think of Khun Din’s warm kiss, and she couldn’t stop
dreaming about it. Even after everything had calmed down
yesterday, and the storm of jealousy had been driven away with
Khun Din’s cunning, she still couldn’t look at Khun Din’s lips
when she was eating without feeling uncomfortable, even though

Page 277 of 413

the previous night had been peaceful, with both of them just sleeping in
each other's arms.

“I won’t waste time talking about this. I’d better go visit Dad. I have to
go back to take care of Khun Din.”

Khun Tippapha cut short the conversation and hurried to leave, with
Moddaeng
hurrying behind her. After that day, Khun Tippapha left Saenrak Farm
accompanied by two
security guards sent by Khun Wayo, who were temporarily in charge
of her while another group took care of security at the farm. Since Khun
Wayo had something important to do, he could not continue to
look after her personally, but he instructed her not to go out alone
during this time.

“Mr. Thip, Rose came to visit you.”

“Ro...se?”

“Daddy, did you call my name? You remember me, don’t you?”

"Yes."

Rose's serene expression lit up with a big smile of happiness when she
saw that her father had responded, squeezing her hand and trying to
call her name, albeit incompletely. The doctor who was treating him said that
his recovery was going well and that, with more physical therapy, he would
soon be much better.

“Rose is very happy. I missed you, Daddy.”

"Kaew, what are you doing?"

Page 278 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Khun Din!"

"I asked what are you doing?"

"Well... I was going to get some information I need, but Aunt Chan told me
you were resting, so I didn't want to wake you up."

"If it's something important, you can wake me up, Kaew. No need to
worry."

Kasama walked over to the work desk, seeing Kaew sitting there,
focused on her laptop. When she walked in and saw her so focused,
she quickly got up to help since Kaew hadn't fully recovered yet, but she
kindly declined and went to sit down by herself.

"Kaew, what file do you need? I can email it to you."

"Suwan's order history file, Khun Din. I saw it was something simple and
didn't tell you, but... you changed the password, right? I tried the old one,
but I couldn't access it."

"Yes, I just changed the password recently, for security reasons."

"You're always so careful, Khun Din."

"I'm just being cautious because I don't know who's involved in this yet."

There is a chance that someone on the team or even someone close to

them, like Kaew, could be an informant for one of the big businessmen. For
safety reasons, Kasama preferred not to trust anyone except his family
and himself.

"That's what you told me last time, right?"

"Kaew, did you manage to find out anything?"

"Maybe a worker named Manop, who started recently. I'm

investigating and keeping an eye on him. Don't worry, Khun Din."

"I'm counting on you, Kaew. I know you'll do it.

everything to protect the interests of the Treasury

Saenrak." "Of course, Khun Din."

"I sent the file to your email."

"Thank you, Khun Din. I'll take care of it right away."

Kaew, with her serene face, looked at the person nearby who
seemed like she was going to walk away, but then she seemed
to remember something important and looked back, asking a
question.

"By the way, where is everyone today? I didn't see Khun Lom,
Khun Rose, or
Moddaeng."

"Khun Rose went to visit her father in the hospital with Moddaeng,
and Lom came back after finishing what he was doing. She said
he was called away for an urgent case, so he might not be
available for a while until everything is sorted out."

"What about the important client meeting in Chiang Mai on Saturday? Will
you be able to make it, Khun Din? Or would you rather I ask for a
postponement? I think the client would understand."

"No need to delay, Kaew. I can make it. But you'll have to drive
for me, both there and back."

Page 280 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Yes, Khun Din. That won't be a problem."

"P'Din, can't you cancel the work in Chiang Mai tomorrow and go later? It
would be better to meet the client later. With this complicated situation,
Rose is worried."

"I can't, Rose. This job is important, and the client has already rescheduled
once. If I postpone it again, the important people waiting for us probably
won't be happy."

"But I'm afraid that bandits will try to attack P'Din during the journey. And
besides, P'Din's wound has just healed."

She really didn't understand what P'Din was thinking when he decided to
travel to Chiang Mai to work with Kaew when the big businessmen were
waiting for an opportunity to act. Rose was afraid that P'Din wouldn't be as
lucky as the last time when the bullet missed a vital organ, and she
didn't want her to get hurt again.

"The client assured me that he will be careful. Besides, I won't be going alone
with Kaew, there's Lom and two security guards following and taking care
of me. I'll be safe."

"So, can I go with you to Chiang Mai too?"

"No, Rose. Staying on the farm is safer for you.

So P'Din doesn't need to worry about you either."

"But..."

Page 281 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Rose, trust me, please. I love you, and you told me you love me too.
Because we love each other, we need to trust each other."

Tippapha hugged P'Din tightly and affectionately, feeling safe in his arms.
After she explained everything calmly and patiently, as they always do
when they talk openly since they started to really get involved as a couple,
she felt warmed by the hug and believed in her even more.

"Yes, P'Din. I trust you."

"What Mister Wasu's subordinates need to do is make sure that those who
are watching us, like me and P'Din, stay out of range, so that the security
guards sent by Lieutenant Wayo won't be able to follow us.

After that, I'll have the opportunity to continue with the plan. I'll use
P'Din as bait to lure Tippapha into the trap. After that, when I hand her over
to you, Wasu, you can do whatever you want with her!"

"Kaew, are you sure this plan will work?

Tomorrow, will I really be able to get Rose back?"

"Now is the best opportunity to take the risk, because Lieutenant Wayo
is not at the farm. Only her subordinates are there, and I
believe that Sir Wasu's subordinates are skilled enough to handle this. If
they don't make any mistakes, I can guarantee that my plan will not fail."

Page 282 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Then, let's go with this plan. I'll send my best subordinates to deal with
the officer's men who are intruding. Afterwards, you can do whatever
you want with P'Din, in exchange for Rose being mine."

I've already said, when we work together, everything becomes much

easier!

"P'Din, can I stop at the gas station for a moment?

I would like some coffee so I don't get sleepy during the long journey."

"Sure, Kaew. Take the money. Buy some for Lom's subordinates too."

"You can wait here, P'Din."

Kasama nodded in agreement after she left the farm. Kaew asked to stop
at the gas station, and in the meantime, the farm car also stopped behind.
She asked one of her acquaintances to buy coffee since they had
another hour of travel ahead of them.

"Your favorite black coffee, P'Din. I bought one for you."

"I'm not driving, so if I get tired, it's okay, Kaew." "If P'Din doesn't drink, I'll be
sad.
Here, I'll take the leftover coffee over there first, okay?"

Afraid that Kaew would be disappointed that she had bought the
coffee, she began to drink what was given to her.
Meanwhile, Kaew went to take two coffees to Wayo's
subordinates and returned to continue the journey.

Page 283 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"How are you, P'Din? Are you feeling refreshing after drinking?"

"It is good."

Kaew smiled at her boss, who initially refused to drink the coffee, but in
the end, he seemed to enjoy the coffee she knew he loved. He seemed to
be in a good mood, drinking almost half the cup, more than she had.

I was waiting.

"Kaew, slow down a bit. I'm suddenly starting to feel dizzy."

"P'Din, are you carsick?"

"No, I don't usually get sick."

"Then, P'Din can get some sleep. When we arrive, I'll wake you up."

"Mmm."

There was only a faint sound of response from the person who seemed to
be fighting the sleepiness caused by the medicine mixed into the
coffee. The two coffees she had prepared for Wayo's subordinates might
have also had an effect.
Or, if the first plan failed, Wasu's subordinates would probably follow the
next step of the plan. Thus, she purposely accelerated the car to lose the
other vehicle behind her, and everything became easier when the car
of Wasu's subordinates, which was waiting on the road, cut in and blocked
the chase.

"Get some sleep, P'Din. From now on, there are many fun things
waiting for us!"

"Is this weird?"

"What's strange, Rose?" "It's P'Din!

Why doesn't she read or respond to the messages I sent? I

don't know what's going on."

"You were only away for a moment, are you already missing P'Din?"
"This is no time for talk, Moddaeng. The situation right now is
not safe, you know that. I worry about P'Din a lot."

"If you care so much about P'Din, you should call her, Rose. Maybe she
hasn't seen the message yet."

Tippapha looked at Moddaeng, who was encouraging her to call her wife
instead of sitting around waiting for an answer. At first, she didn’t want to
call and cause trouble or seem possessive, because she knew P’Din
was traveling with Kaew. Besides, she had already promised Din that she
would trust her, the one she loved the most. But as much as she
trusted him, she couldn’t help but worry.

"Moddaeng, P'Din didn't answer."

"It's really weird, yeah. She didn't read the message, she didn't reply, and
you called and she didn't answer either."

"I'm worried, Moddaeng. What do I do?"

"Calm down, Rose. I'll try calling Kaew again. Ah, Kaew didn't answer
either. Or maybe you want to try calling the Lom men who went with
them?"

Page 285 of 413

"Then, Moddaeng, try calling Kaew until she answers.

I'll get the number of Lom's subordinates that P'Din wrote
down in the office."
The farm owner hurriedly moved away from Moddaeng,
as she remembered that P’Din’s notebook in the office
contained the numbers of important contacts in case of
emergencies. Even though she had written them down on
her phone, she had also recorded them separately
just in case. Before she could call Wayo’s
subordinates, P’Din’s number came ringing. She
quickly answered it, urgently.

"P'Din, did something happen? Why didn't you

answer my calls?"

[Were you that worried?]

"Kaew!"

[Yes, it's me. I'm glad to hear your voice, Rose, it still
reminds me of myself.]
"Why did you use P'Din's cell phone to call me? Where is
P'Din? Why did she let you call me instead of her?
Go get P'Din now and talk to her!"
[Rose! Who do you think is giving orders here? Don't forget
that I am P'Din's subordinate. Therefore, the only person
whose orders I will follow are hers.]
"Kaew, what's going on?"
[I just want to say that you can stop trying to boss me
around. Stop being so important, you idiot, Rose!]
"..."

The owner of the pretty face raised her hand and covered her
mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say when she heard the
aggressive and harsh tone of P'Din's assistant on the other end of the line.
Kaew was usually a smiling and sociable person, who seemed kind and
sweet, so she never imagined that the other person could have such an
aggressive side that was so far from her expectations. It was as if
Kaew was suddenly showing a side of herself that she had never seen
before.

[But don't worry about P'Din, because being with me now, she's safer than
risking her life to protect a problem like you.]

"Bullshit! P'Din would never be with you!"

[You don't believe the truth, do you? Or are you pretending not to believe
because you don't want to accept reality?]

"Yes, because I trust P'Din, I trust the person I love!"

Because P'Din said she loves me more than anything, I can't fall for Kaew's
game, who doesn't know what she wants or what she's trying to do. What I
need to do is stay calm and not fall for the provocations about something
impossible.
I will trust P'Din until the last second and will not create any more trouble
for her.

[Love? Rose, let me tell you something, as a favor. If P'Din really loved
you, she wouldn't have chosen to be happy with someone like me, hiding
from you, now.]

"What!"

[The truth is, the whole Chiang Mai job thing was just an excuse.
Whenever I went out with P'Din, while you were just standing
there waiting like an idiot, I

Page 287 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

I'll tell you as a favor: P'Din and I were always happy together.
We were happy before you came into her life and we're still
happy now.]
"..."

[Or, if you are still trying to close your eyes and not accept the
truth, look at the evidence I sent you and stop deceiving yourself!]

Tippapha was distracted from the call after her chat program
received a new message. It was a photo of P’Din that she had
sent to Rose. In the image, P’Din was lying next to Kaew,
cuddling her on a bed somewhere she didn’t recognize. And Kaew,
probably afraid that she wouldn’t be easily convinced by the photo,
sent her a video as well. The video showed P’Din lying
on the bed, with Kaew caressing her face with an adoring
expression, until the image cut out.

"Kaew! Don't do anything to P'Din, stop now!"

[The person you should stop from doing something is me, not
P'Din. Well... we're just happy together, like we always have
been. Before, you never knew, so keep ignoring it and pretending
you don't know!]

"I don't believe it! P'Din would never betray me, she wouldn't
be dishonest with me."

[If you don't believe it, come see for yourself!]

The person on the other end hung up the call and

immediately turned off the phone after sending the last location.
She was unable to return the call. Tippapha then looked closely at
the hotel location, which

Page 288 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

It wasn't too far from Saenrak Farm. Although it was a trap, this time
she would have to take the risk.

Because she had to protect P'Din and not allow the person she loved to
be taken away from her by anyone else!

"Where are you going, Rose? Now is not the time, P'Din said you should
never go out alone."

"Moddaeng, don't stop me! I'm going out to help P'Din!"

"What happened, Rose? What happened to P'Din?"

"I don't have time, Moddaeng! Get in the car, I'll explain later."

"But Rose, you can't go out alone! At least let the people in your group
follow you! Ah!"

Before she could reach the destination she had been told, a cargo truck
suddenly approached and blocked the road, even though she and
Moddaeng had just left Saenrak Farm. When she tried to reverse, another
car appeared behind, blocking the route and surrounding her, as if
intentionally, to prevent her from escaping the area.

"Get out of the car!"

"Who are you? Don't do anything to Rose! Let go of Rose... ahhh!"

Page 289 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Moddaeng screamed for help in desperation as several

armed men approached the car, opened the door and dragged
Rose, who was in the
driver's seat, out. They arrested her and prevented
her from going to help her boss.

"We've got her. What do we do now?"

Tippapha stared at Moddaeng, who was trying
unsuccessfully to free herself, while she was also
being held under guard by two of the criminals.
One of the bandits made a call and then hung up, giving
orders to the others.

"The boss said to tell you to bring her to him as soon as

possible!"

"You, P'Din."
Kaew spoke in a soft voice as she ran her palm over the face
of her boss, whom she had secretly loved for over ten
years. She had fallen in love with P'Din when she was
only sixteen, and had kept her love a secret ever since,
while P'Din had never paid her any attention. But why then
did P'Din fall in love and say that he loved her very much,
even though someone else had come into his life after
her?
"I've been by your side longer than anyone. I love you more
than anyone. Why didn't you ever realize?"

Page 290 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

If P'Din had realized sooner that she loved her, or if she had had
the courage to confess her feelings before someone else
came into her life, maybe she and P'Din would already be
together, in love with each other. The only thing she did wrong
was not having the courage to declare her love and waiting until
it was too late. But it's not too late yet. She will correct all
her mistakes and make things between them move forward.

"Khun Wasu, everything is settled. I took Rose out of the picture

for you. Your people have already settled everything, right?"

[My men have already caught her. Thank you, Kaew. You did a
good job on this mission.]

"Now destroy all evidence. Don't let anyone know I've been in
contact with you."

After giving instructions to her temporary ally, with whom she

had to unite to achieve a common goal, she felt that what she
and P'Din wanted was about to be achieved. She would be
the only one to possess the woman she loved, without having
to share her with anyone.

"I love you, P'Din."

The words of love she had kept secret were finally revealed,
along with the touch she had planned for the person she
loved the most. But before his lips touched hers, who was
unconscious due to the effect of the drug, her face turned, and
Din opened his eyes, staring at her, before saying something that
left her in shock, like someone who had suffered a great blow.

"Do you know what is more painful than being hurt by an enemy?
It is being betrayed by someone I trusted. Someone

Page 291 of 413

who I saw as the best friend of my life, and who stabbed me in

the back until I was destroyed."
"P'Din!"

"Everything bad you did, Kaew, was for love. Please don't
love me anymore."
“...”

"Because your love, Kaew, I don't want it!"

Chapter 15

Plan within a plan and the promise to love.

“That’s not it, Mrs. Din. You’re misunderstanding me.”

“Enough, Kaew. There’s no point talking now, it’s too late.”

“Everything that happened was because I was deceived and used by Mr.
Wasu. He threatened me, forced me. I had no choice and had to pass
information to him. Please believe me.”

“The Kaew I knew would never allow anyone to force or bully you. You
were always a person who, even in adversity or without options, would
never lower your head to cooperate with bad people.”

Kasama pulled away from Kaew's touch, who was desperately trying to
hold her, asking for empathy and a chance to explain what no longer
seemed justifiable.
Kasama knew the whole truth, because he saw it with his own
eyes, heard it with his own ears and put himself in that situation to unmask
the real traitor.

“Kaew would never do something so despicable without giving

his heartfelt consent.”

“...”

The chief firmly removed her arm from Kaew’s grip, speaking in a cold
and resolute voice. More than disappointment in someone she
considered a close friend, Kasama was in disbelief at such evil. She would
never have believed it if she hadn’t seen it for herself. Even the
cautionary advice and suspicions of Apo, Wayo, and Atjima indicated that
Kaew was not to be trusted.

Page 293 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Everything that had happened at Saenrak Farm pointed to Kaew as

the prime suspect. Even so, Kasama held out hope until the very last
moment that her friend would repent and turn back before it was too
late.

But now all your expectations have been shattered!

“I did all this because I love you, Mrs. Din! I love you more than Miss
Rose, who just came into your life. But you never realized how much I
love you.”

“How could I not see how you feel about me?”

“Mrs. Din!”

“I always knew, from the beginning. But all I did was make my role as
your friend clear. I pretended not to know in order to preserve our
friendship. That way, you could continue to be by my side as my
assistant and friend, without me having to push you away just because
you had feelings for me.”

“...”

"In this case, I think it was my fault for wanting to spare someone else's
feelings.
Kaew as a friend. If I had known that everything would end like this, I
would have made it clear from the beginning that there could never be
anything between us other than friendship."

Kasama reflected that she had some blame for never being straightforward
with Kaew, prioritizing their long-standing friendship. However, her actions
never gave Kaew false hope, and she always made it clear to everyone
around her how much she loved Tippapha.

Page 294 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“How can Mrs. Din love Tippapha? You’ve only just met her. In comparison,
I’ve been by her side for more than ten years...”

“If I were to love Kaew like I love a partner, I wouldn’t need ten years
to do it.”

“It can’t be true...”

“But since I don’t love Kaew that way, even if another ten years pass, or
even more than that, I will never feel anything more than friendship for
Kaew. I will never love Kaew the way I love Miss Rose.”

Perhaps being physically hurt by the woman she loved, amidst her
frustration and anger at his evil actions, was less painful than hearing
the truth directly from the one she had loved for so long. Knowing that
she would never love her, while declaring her love for someone else,
made each word sink deep into Kaew's shattered heart.

Tears began to flow, painful and impossible to contain. Kaew

collapsed, kneeling on the floor without the strength to get up. Her sobs
and cries of anguish echoed through the room, but no matter how much
she cried, no one who had once considered her a friend would
ever trust her or comfort her again.

Kaew knew she had made a mistake. She had chosen the wrong path and
lost herself in it with no way back. When she realized how much
she had done wrong, the space next to Din was no longer meant for
someone like her.

“P'Din, is everything okay?”

“I'm fine, Lom.”

Page 295 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

After everything was over, with Kaew's defeat and collapse, Lieutenant
Wayo, who had been following the tracker hidden in the car, arrived at the
scene with two subordinates. It was all part of a plan to trick Kaew into
believing that Din would fall into her trap. Once she revealed herself,
there was no escape.

“Take the suspect to the police station.”

"Yes sir."

“I am sure Kaew will face several charges, including kidnapping and false
imprisonment. And then there is the collaboration with the
Mahattanakorn...”

“Lom, let Kaew go.”

“Wait, P’Din! But she committed crimes. If we hadn’t planned

against her, you might have been deceived.”

“I don’t want to go through with this anymore. What’s done is done.”

“But I don’t agree with that, P’Din. If Kaew comes back and tries to do
something to you or Rose again, we’ll be giving the enemy an opportunity.”

“Kaew wouldn’t do that. I hope that the last chance I’m giving her as a
friend will make her reflect and start a new life.”

“Mrs. Din, I’m so sorry. I regret it… Please forgive me.”

“What you did, Kaew, I cannot forgive. But I will not hurt you the way you
hurt me, nor the one I love.”

Page 296 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Kasama stared at Kaew, who kept his eyes on her through a veil of
streaming tears. Then Kasama made a decision that Wayo would
probably disapprove of, but he respected because he trusted her
judgment.

“From now on, Kaew is no longer my friend, and Saenrak Farm is

no longer Kaew’s home.”

“You managed to capture her, right?”

“Yes, I captured the owner of the Saenrak farm for Mr.

Wasu.”

“Then take her to the room immediately. He is waiting.”

The burly man opened the door to the agreed-upon meeting place, lifted
the woman’s unconscious body from the back seat of the car, and carried
her to the motel where Mr. Wasu was eagerly awaiting a night of pleasure.
He tucked her into bed and, upon completion of the task, received
payment from one of Wasu’s subordinates.

“Mr. Wasu, Rose has arrived.”

“Great job. Pay us.”

Wasu’s voice echoed from the bathroom, where he was preparing for an
intense night. Although Tippapha was now “used” by Kasama, and
not the “untouched” woman he had originally desired, to Wasu, a toy
was a toy. He would enjoy her to the fullest before discarding her when
she was no longer useful.

Page 297 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“Have you waited long for me, dear Rose?”

With a smile on his face, he came out of the bathroom wearing only a
towel, looking at the sleeping body on the bed. He wanted to
imagine Kasama's expression when he found out that his wife had
been humiliated by someone superior to her. When Wasu finished having
fun, he would return Rose just to mock her.

“What a delicious smell...”

Wasu brushed his lips and lightly shaved chin against the woman’s
shoulder, teasing her. He turned her to face him, overcome with anticipation.
But when he saw her face, his desire was instantly shattered. Something
had gone wrong.

“Who are you?! Why aren’t you Rose?”

“Ah, but you just said that Moddaeng has a delicious scent, didn’t you,
Mr. Wasu?”

“You! Damn Moddaeng! Wretch! You incompetents!

I said bring Rose! How did you capture her maid?! Did you hear? Get
in here now and take her out immediately!”

“Do you think that now that you’ve brought Moddaeng here, it will be
easy to get rid of her?”

“What madness is this?! Let me go!”

“Help! Police! Help! Moddaeng is under attack!”

Tricked into coming here and being raped! Help!”

“...”

Moddaeng's dramatic performance was award-worthy. She had

been assigned to protect Rose,

Page 298 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

ensuring that she didn't have to take the risk personally. And
as always, Wayo had trusted the right person.

Moddaeng played his role masterfully, holding Wasu back

and creating enough evidence for the police to arrest him on the spot.

“With such clear evidence and witnesses, it will be difficult to

get away with this, Mr. Wasu.”

“Damn Wayo! This was all a plan of yours!”

“Take the criminal to the police station and take the victim to give a
statement.”

“Mrs. Wayo, Din and Rose are safe, right?”

“Don’t worry. You’re both safe. Moddaeng, you were amazing. Your
help was essential.”

“With Moddaeng on the case, there will never be disappointments!”

“P’Din...”

“Rose, are you okay? You weren’t hurt anywhere, right?”

“I’m fine, yes. I’m just worried about you. Please don’t do something
so risky like that again. Otherwise, I’ll be really mad.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner. I knew if you knew, you wouldn’t let
me go through with the plan.”

Page 299 of 413

Kasama hugged her beloved affectionately, comforting her after facing

such an intense situation together. Rose had risked a lot to expose the
true face of her former friend, Kaew, someone she now realized she didn't
really know.

At the same time, Tippapha had almost put herself in danger by watching
Kaew play. However, she had acted cautiously: when Kaew wasn’t
looking, she pretended to drink the coffee that contained something
suspicious and threw the contents away. Furthermore, Tippapha trusted
that Wayo had drawn up a detailed security plan to protect Rose. Thus,
she sent Wayo to take care of Rose’s safety, while she herself took the
risk of dealing directly with Kaew.

Wayo, in turn, positioned his team to intercept Rose as soon as she left the
farm, ensuring her safety at the agreed location. They then swapped
Rose for Moddaeng, who followed the plan and met Kaew at the previously
agreed location. This prevented Kaew from alerting Wasu, who ended up
being caught red-handed, with enough evidence to not escape this time.

“That's right, I would never allow P'Din to put himself in danger like that.”

“But everything is nearing the end now. I believe that soon all this will
be resolved.”

“By the way, is Moddaeng okay? I’m really worried about her.
She also risked a lot for me.”

“Moddaeng is safe. Right now, she is at the police station giving a

statement along with Wayo. There is no need to worry. I just spoke to

Page 300 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Wayo before coming here.”

“What a relief! Knowing that both you and Moddaeng are safe makes me
so happy.”

“But what really makes me happiest is that you’re safe, Rose.”

“About Kaew...”

“...”

“P'Din, are you okay?”

Tippapha finally asked about Kaew, whose true identity had

been completely exposed. Finding out that Kaew was a traitor
who had infiltrated the Saenrak Farm had shaken everyone to their
core. Although Tippapha disliked Kaew’s actions, especially her jealousy
towards Kasama, she did not hate her and never wanted Kaew to
face such a terrible fate. However, Kaew was able to betray Kasama and
act with malice towards her in ways she could never have imagined or
prepared for.

“Let’s change the subject. I don’t want you to feel bad about this.”

“P'Din, you can talk about it. I want to hear what you have to say.”
have to say about Kaew. Talk to me. I'm not feeling jealous anymore.

I'm asking because I want to hear what's in your heart. I'm worried about

you.”

“About Kaew… I am deeply disappointed and very hurt.”

Page 301 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Kasama openly expressed the weight of feelings she had been carrying
alone, after going through a situation that left her deeply disappointed
and sad. As she herself had told Kaew, being betrayed by someone
she trusted and considered a friend hurt much more than being hurt by
someone who had always been clearly an enemy.

“Kaew was like an important friend, almost like part of the family. To be
stabbed in the back by someone so close... I think I'll need some time to
recover.”

“I’ll be here for you, P’Din. I’ll offer you my shoulder to lean on and my
warm embrace whenever you need it. I’ll take care of you, doing my best,
until you feel better. Time and I will heal you, okay?”

You are amazing, and I will be by your side.”

As now, Kasama, always so strong, finally allowed herself to rest,

resting her head on her loved one's shoulder, accepting the invitation
with tenderness. She wrapped Tippapha in a tight hug, while she
felt Tippapha's soft hands gently caress her back, as if they were
offering comfort and strength on such a heavy and adversity-
filled day.

We are truly lucky to love each other and have each other...

"I'll remember that, Wayo. Do you want to butt in where you're not
wanted? When I get out of this accusation, you can be sure
I won't leave you alone."

"I don't accept deposits, I'm a police officer, not a warehouse

for objects."

"You want to fight me, don't you?"

"Enough causing trouble, Wasu. Do you want more accusations

to be leveled against you? Your father doesn't know where to
hide his face anymore. How could you be so blind and out of
your mind that you kidnapped a farm maid and forced her to be
your wife? I never thought you were so stupid and desperate."

"It was all Wayo's plan! I was tricked!"

"How about adding one more charge of slander against

a government agent? It will fit well with the long

list of charges you already have." "Wasu, go back to

home."

Wayo stared at Wasu and his father, Wasupon, who looked at him
with a mixture of anger and disappointment. Especially his son,
who now no longer made any effort to hide his true colors. During
the interrogation, however, Wayo discovered that Wasu did not
mention or implicate Kaew, who Din decided to release
without taking legal action. Perhaps Wasu still intended to use
Kaew in some way in the future.

"Lom, after I finish giving my statement at the police

station, can I go see Rose?"

"Not yet. You need to go back to the farm and act like nothing
happened today. Not yet

Page 303 of 413

we know if, besides Kaew, there may be other infiltrators.

If anyone asks about Din and Rose, tell them they're on another
honeymoon."

"Okay. I'll say that. And if Aunt Chan or Uncle Kla ask about Kaew, what
should I say?"

"Tell them you don't know and to wait to ask Din when she gets back."

At this point, the best option would be for Din and Rose to take refuge in
a safe place, making it difficult for the Mahattanakorn family, who were
already trying to escape the charges, to find them. This would
reduce the chances of foul play or tricks to manipulate the situation.

With the Moddaeng case having solid evidence and witnesses, Wasupon
was still able to use his connections to ensure that his son did not spend the
night in jail.
As for the other cases, where the evidence wasn't as strong, it was
likely that he would find a way to free Wasu.

Unless a key witness or definitive evidence emerged that could corner

the Mahattanakorn family.

“Understood, Moddaeng. Thank you for protecting me today.

While I'm here, I'll take good care of myself.
You also take care of yourself while you wait for me to return.”

Tippapha gratefully accepted her faithful friend's concern and thanked

her for her protection. After receiving a call from Moddaeng, who
reported that he had returned to

Page 304 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Once she was safely at Saenrak Farm with Wayo, she finally felt at ease.
With her mind at ease, Tippapha was able to close her eyes and rest,
knowing that the difficult situations were at least partly resolved.

Even though Kaew’s issue had been cleared up and the situation had
calmed down, and even though she had comforted Din until she felt better,
why did she suddenly feel uneasy herself? The reason came when, on
impulse, she opened Din’s chat and saw disturbing photos and a video that
she hadn’t yet had the chance to question.

It seemed like the spirit of “Din’s number one wife” had taken over
her again!

“Rose, what are you doing?”

“Don’t come any closer, Din!”

“Why can’t I hug you?”

“Stay away from me, don’t come near me.”

Kasama looked at her beloved, who seemed to be in a bad mood and acting
irritably as she was hugged from behind. After separating to take a shower
and change clothes —
provided by Wayo at the temporary shelter—Din hadn't expected to find her
like this. Before, Rose had seemed calm, gently comforting him until she felt
better and forgot about the recent hardships.

But what could have happened in such a short time for her to change her
behavior?

“But tonight I want to hug Rose. Are you sure you won’t let me?”

Page 305 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“You can keep trying to convince me, Din. I won’t give in.”

“Why are you being so cruel to me?”

“I’m not being cruel. I just don’t want to step in someone else’s
footsteps.”

"What?"

“Even if it was a plan, Din liked it, didn’t he? He liked getting her
so close like that.”

Afraid that Din wouldn't understand her hints, Tippapha took

the phone with the chat screen open and put it in her hands,
with an angry expression. There were the photos sent by
Kaew, accompanied by a video. Kasama watched the video
until the end and, when she looked at her beloved again, she
was staring at her angrily, as if she could finish her off with just a
look.

“Rose trusted Din completely, but in the video you don’t seem
trustworthy at all.”

“I can explain!”

“Then explain! Oh, but before you start, know that you already gave
yourself away by telling me that you didn’t drink the coffee with
the sleeping pill that Kaew prepared. You said you threw it away.”
This means that in all the images and video, you were conscious
and just pretending to be asleep.”
“...”

Rose isn't a cop like Wayo, but she seems to be even better
at investigations. She cornered Din with clear arguments,
leaving her almost speechless.
Despite the seriousness, his way of acting still had a

Page 306 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

A lovely touch, which made Din contain a smile of

admiration so as not to lose focus on the moment.
“That’s right. I was aware of everything Kaew did.
I pretended to go along with the game in order to get
evidence that would completely incriminate her. If I had resisted from
the beginning, Kaew would never have revealed that she was
collaborating with Wasu.”

“So you let her hug and cuddle you just for that?”

“Just hugs and touches. No kisses happened, I can

assure you.”
“Oh, but try letting her kiss you! If you dare go that far, Din,
you can bet I’ll finish you off!”
Just the hugs and touches were already making Rose boil
with anger, almost blowing smoke from her ears. If Kaew had
kissed Din, Rose would certainly have exploded and become
furious, perhaps not forgiving her so easily for something so
reckless and disrespectful to the love Din claimed to feel for her.
she.

“That will never happen. I don’t allow anyone to kiss me

except you, Rose.”
“What Kaew did to your body, I will erase it all now!”

“What? Rose...”
Kasama was surprised when Tippapha
unexpectedly climbed onto her lap, wrapping her arms
around her neck. The pose was seductive and provocative,
catching Din completely off guard. Before he could say
anything else, Rose's soft, possessive lips landed on
his in a kiss.

marked by impatience and jealousy. Din just reciprocated with a touch of

affection and amusement, enchanted by his beloved's jealous side.

"Stop! You can't kiss me now, Din, because you're still being punished."

"Rose..."

"I'm the only one who can do everything: hug, kiss, caress... or
even explore with my hands."

She wouldn’t let any part of her body that Kaew had touched go
unpunished. Just like now, her hands were gliding provocatively over Din’s
face. If, in the video, Kaew was being seductive at 10%, Rose would show
her sensuality at 100%, leaving Kaew completely behind.

It was time to make it clear that Rose was the real number one!

"Why are you biting your lips, Din? Is this punishment too much for you?"

"Yes, I surrender."

"Why did you give up so easily? That way, playing with you loses its fun."

"I surrender to you in everything, Rose."

"Do you want me to feel sorry for you?"

"Yes."

Don't give her that sweet, begging look, Kasama! Or are you trying
to make her give in this time? Rose was already soft-hearted, and even
more so when it came to

Page 308 of 413

someone she loved as much as Din. How long could she keep up the
hard game?

"Okay, I'll consider it your first mistake. Rose will give you a chance and
forgive you."

"Does that mean the punishment has been canceled as well?"

"Yeah, I'll let you do whatever you want... Ouch! Din!"

Tippapha let out a cry of surprise when Din suddenly turned the tables,
causing her to lose her balance and end up lying on the bed. In an instant,
Din was on top of her, supporting his weight with his arms at her
sides. The scene was almost identical to that night when Din had come
back drunk, but this time, she wasn't drunk on alcohol.

Din could only be drunk with love for Rose!

"Can I kiss you now?"

"I already said I forgive you, do what you want..."

Tippapha responded in a shy but determined tone, looking away

because she didn't have the courage to look Din directly in the eye,
fearing that she would lose even more control over herself.

At this moment, if Moddaeng knew, she would probably say that she was
an easy-going woman who always pleased her lover. But since
Moddaeng didn’t know, she couldn’t make fun of her later. There
wasn’t much she could do, since she loved Din’s warm touch and kiss.
From the first time she received it, she was so enchanted that she wanted
more, never getting tired.

But, as she said, Din was a caring person who treated her with a lot of
respect. In addition to the first kiss,

Page 309 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Not counting the one she stole earlier to erase the marks,
this was also a kiss that both of them gave each other with
intention, and it was much more passionate than the first time.

It seems that the kiss was not restricted to the same place, as
Din chose to spread his kisses all over her, creating an
overwhelming and burning sensation that made her shiver.
He kissed her neck so that she arched her head, allowing
him to follow, as if he were taking advantage of her. Deep
down, she knew that the one being deceived and used in the
plan was Moddaeng, not her, so why did Din need to erase
the marks on her?
But no! Din wasn't erasing the marks, but creating new
love marks on her body, driven by desire and emotion that made
her let out muffled sounds of protest, as if she couldn't hide it
anymore. It seemed that Din was taking revenge on her, making
the punishment she had given him before seem like a childish
joke compared to what was happening now.

No, Din was not a simple person! She was nothing like what
she and Moddaeng had imagined!
"Ah! Din!"

"Rose, does it hurt?"

"Are you a mosquito, Din? Are you biting my neck?"

"It was just a kiss."

"You overdid it! Just a little affection and you're already like this?"

"Sorry, I won't do it again."

Kasama apologized with a regretful tone, realizing that he had
gone too far with Rose. Everything

Page 310 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

had started with an attempt to provoke her, breaking her patience

because of Tippapha's teasing jokes. But fortunately, Rose
used her hand to pat her shoulder, getting her attention and
reprimanding her. If it weren't for that, she could have
taken advantage of the situation.

"What?"

"Rose, rest. Have sweet dreams."

"Din, are you really going to sleep? Aren't you going to

take responsibility for what you did?"

"I just don't think it's right."

Even though she loved her and was completely in love
with her, she needed to learn to control her feelings
and do things properly. She should respect her wife as Mr.
Thipakorn believed in her.
Even though it was hard to resist, as Tippapha's sweetness
was never kind to her, she needed to learn to control her feelings
until the right day came.
"When Mr. Thipakorn gets out of the hospital, I will seriously
ask for your hand, Rose."

"Are you going to ask my father for my hand?"

"Yes, and I will take over our responsibilities starting tonight."

Din was crazy! She said that and just drifted off to sleep, as if
nothing had happened. How could Rose fall asleep in Din's arms
tonight? See?
At this moment, his heart was beating fast and hard, almost
exploding with emotion.

But Din's heart, which Rose could also hear?

Page 311 of 413

It seemed to be beating faster and harder, as if it didn't

want to be outdone.

Chapter 16

If frustration equals defeat.

Starting a new day after going through yesterday's hectic

events, including the opportunity to clear up a misunderstanding
with Tippapha about something that made her very angry. Now,
we have a smooth understanding again, and we are hugging each other,
meeting each other like the first people upon waking up.

Come to think of it, even if there are problems or trials ahead in our lives,
she and the person she loves will have to overcome everything. Those who
make mistakes should be punished according to the law. Those
responsible should face the consequences of their actions. At least the fact
that they are serving time in prison will help prevent the father and son from
causing more trouble to innocent people.

She hopes to receive a good response from Wayo and hopes that the
lieutenant, who is very competent, is resolving the situation. If it weren't for
Wayo and the other members of the Watinwanich family, such as Apo and
Atjima, who are always ready to help, she thinks she would feel lost and
unable to protect those she loves as she would like.

She is very lucky to have such a great family and partner...

"P'Din, what are you thinking?"

"Rose, are you awake yet?"

"Yes, I have. I woke up and I'm already dealing with the worry, as
always."

Tippapha gently pushed P'Din's head with her fingers, laughing, and P'Din,
frowning, smiled softly and calmed his thoughts, before
exchanging the gesture for a sweet smile at her. When they woke up, they
were together at home, in this new day.

"I was thinking about you, Rose."

"Don't give me those sweet words, you know you don't impress me."

"Good morning my love."

P'Din's love... means her?

The owner of the beautiful face closed her eyes to wait for P'Din's touch, who
gently kissed her forehead as a morning greeting, before pulling away
and giving her that charming smile that made her melt. P'Din loved to make
her heart beat fast, both before sleeping and when waking up, always
leaving her speechless.

She says she's not impressed..., but Rose was lying.

"So, what would you like to eat, Rose?"

"P'Din, are you going to cook?"

Page 314 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Yes, here it's just the two of us. We don't have Aunt Chan to make
something delicious like at home."

"You can cook well too, P'Din. Like the last time you made something for
me."

"How about a special menu? Like our first day together."

"No, thank you."

"So, what would you like to eat?"

Kasama asked the owner of the beautiful face, who shook her head,
refusing the idea, making a cute face. No matter the time, whether before
going to sleep or when waking up, she always looked adorable, without
makeup, showing her natural side to the person she loved the most.

"I just wanted to show off my skills in the kitchen. You can wait."

"Will you be able to wait?"

"You'll see! You'll have to settle for whatever food I make, no matter
what it is!"

"I was joking, but you're so determined to do anything, even food!"

P'Din's playfulness made Rose smile, and she was always joking
with her, but always showing her how much she meant to Din. She fondly
remembered the times they spent together, especially the nights they had
spent together when they had managed to fall asleep despite the difficulty.
Although she didn't feel ready to call herself his number one wife yet, she
knew that P'Din was truly amazing!

Page 315 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Rest assured, P'Din and I, Rose, will stay here for now.
Anyway, P'Din, please take care of Mr. Thip's safety."

"P'Din, the food is already served. Ah, are you still taking
care of some matters? Then I'll let you continue and I'll be right
back."

No problem, P'Din has already finished talking to Lom.

Kasama responded to his wife and quickly went to help put
the food Tippapha had prepared on the dining table. She had
prepared something simple and tasty and placed it on a table
next to two chairs so they could have breakfast together.
The view from the window, with the natural scenery surrounding
the house, offered a peaceful and pleasant moment to
relax outside the city.
"How's the case with Wasu, P'Din?"

"He's always trying to get away with it, as usual, even

with the clear evidence this time."

"No matter what we do, will it be impossible to deal with

these evil people? It seems that justice does not exist in this
country."
How many times did P'Din have to risk it to protect her?
Like Wayo, Apo and Atjima, always reaching out to help with
whatever they could. Even her close friends, like Moddaeng,
who yesterday put his own life on the line to protect her. Many
people were doing everything they could for her, while the
guilty ones, like the

Page 316 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

two father and son Mahattanakorn, remained unpunished, still with

space in society.

"P'Din believes that justice still exists, yes. At least, now we need to
continue collecting evidence and testimonies that may be useful.
Because, in all cases, Wasu's sentences are still too light."

"Rose and P'Din haven't done anything wrong, but we have to hide for
our safety, while bad people like the Mahattanakorn don't seem to care."

"I know, Rose. I'm also outraged that we can't do anything against the
culprits. But right now, we're not hiding out of cowardice. We're waiting
for the right moment to act. If the other side is good at getting their
hands dirty and using force, my father always told me that we should
fight smart."

"If there's anything I can help you with, P'Din, just say the word.
I'm here to support you and Lom."

"Now then, Rose, help us have breakfast on time."

Even with the delicate situation, P'Din still cared about her food
and invited her to breakfast. She made something simple, like bread with
jelly and peanut butter, accompanied by black coffee for her. Since
she didn't like coffee very much, she exchanged it for milk for herself.

"P'Din, eat well!"

"P'Din is starving."

"Because last night, we were so scared that we couldn't have dinner."

Page 317 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"It's weird, isn't it? Why did you forget to eat last night?"

"..."

The truth was that P'Din wasn't hungry for food, but hungry for something
else..., but Rose wouldn't say that, wouldn't turn the conversation back
to her or make fun of P'Din, who always teased her. She wouldn't
say that she was making a fool of herself, leaving her in a funny situation.

"This is so delicious! Rose, you make the best breakfast! When we

get back to the farm, you have to make me this more often."

"Oh, you're exaggerating! It's just toasted bread with jam.

If it hadn't turned out well, I would have felt bad. No need to praise it
so much."

"This toasted bread with jam is the best I've ever had in my life!"

P'Din spoke and laughed to herself, but Rose thought she was being so
cute that she couldn't help but smile.
She took a bite of the jam bread, leaving some jam in her mouth,
before giving P'Din a kiss on the cheek, leaving her cheek covered in
the jam, as if it were a piece of bread.

When the world seems to have only the two of us... it's so happy that it
makes you want to stop time."

"You, Kaew! How dare you appear here in front of me?"

"We all make mistakes, you told me that yourself.

As for what happened yesterday, it was just a small mistake. It doesn't
mean that everything we did together is over."

"You dare say that it was just a small mistake? Do you know what
happened to me yesterday? What accusations did I receive? Because
of your mistake, Heng Chwai's plan ended with me, I lost everything."

Wasu didn’t understand why Kaew, the person who had caused the plan
to go wrong, still had the nerve to show up at Nabanan Farm. She should
have taken responsibility for her actions, but it seemed like she wasn’t
as concerned as he was. He could barely sit still due to the
scolding he received from his father and was even physically assaulted.
The father, Leung Wasupon, was extremely disappointed with the situation
and went straight to the only son with the revolver, hitting him in the face
as soon as he returned to the farm.

"I suffered consequences too. Din found out I was spying for you, and
now they've kicked me out of Saenrak Farm."

"So why did you come to me? Do you think I can help you?"

"I just have nowhere to go..."

"I am now being watched by the police. I will not risk having you, a useless
person, around to cause me more problems. I only collaborated with you
because you were close to Din and were useful to me, but now that
you are no longer of any value, accept it, you are no longer of any use to
me. I do not

Page 319 of 413

I'll give you shelter and then get bitten in the back, like Din was
foolish to keep you around."

"So, if I have something useful for you, something that can return the
advantage to the Mahattanakorn, would you reconsider and make
a new decision?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I have all the information about the Watinwanich. Don't forget, I am Din's
most trusted aide and person, and this information can easily destroy the
Saenrak Farm without you having to put in any effort."

"If I pave the way for you to do this, what will you gain, Kaew? Either way,
you'll never get Din back."

Wasu asked, trying to test, wanting to understand what Kaew's plan was,
this treacherous person who, in his opinion, was not worthy of trust,
someone capable of betraying Kasama as he did. But he also knew
that they needed to cooperate and trust each other for the benefit of both.

"I don't need Din anymore. The person who disrespected my love will
suffer much more than me. I want her life to end, I want her to lose
everything. And look, when that happens, will the woman she says she
loves, this Rose, continue to be by her side?"

"Stop playing the victim or giving her one last chance like she's a good
person. If Kasama didn't love me and kept hurting my feelings by saying
she loves another woman who I despise and don't want to hear about
anymore..."

"I'm proud of my wickedness, but it seems like you, Kaew, always

have something unpredictable."

Page 320 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Answer me now: are you going to cooperate with me or not? If not, I'll
resolve this my way."

"And what will I get in return?"

"The destruction of the Watinwanich and the Amornjinda!"

If my life has already been destroyed to the point where I can't start
over...

Whoever caused my pain, everyone will have to destroy themselves

too!

[“Rose, today Moddaeng has good news to tell you, two things. Which
one do you want to hear first?”]

"Anyway, Moddaeng. Stop stalling and tell me already!"

[“The first is that the Moddaeng case has made progress! Today the
police called Mr. Wasu to testify again. In the previous days, there was
no progress. It must be related to the commander who was removed, for
sure.”]

“Has the commander been transferred?”

[“Yes, Moddaeng just found out when he saw the police officers talking at
the police station. It seems he was abruptly removed and will still be
investigated for corruption.
The other day, Mrs. Lom said that this commander was probably
allied with Farmer Wasupon, so he helped manipulate the cases and
make the culprits escape.”]

Page 321 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Although she didn’t know all the details, what Moddaeng said was good
news for Rose. After all, if they had a police officer who worked with integrity,
it would be much better than those who manipulate the truth to help
criminals, just because they are part of the same group or have
common interests.

“And what’s the other good news?”

[“Now, Moddaeng has gone to visit Farmer Thipakorn at the hospital

on behalf of Miss Rose. The doctor informed him that the farmer will be
transferred to a regular room today. The doctor asked Moddaeng to inform
the family, and all that is left is for Miss Rose to sign the documents so
that he can be transferred.”]

“Dad! It’s okay, Moddaeng. I’ll call Din so we can go to the hospital right
now!”

[“Okay, Miss Rose. Then I’ll wait at the hospital.”]

"Take care of my father, okay? Tell him I'll run to see him soon."

Tippapha quickly hung up the phone, feeling excited about the two
pieces of good news. And, of course, the best of them was that her
father was getting better. The doctor had authorized him to be
moved to a regular room, which represented a huge improvement in her
father’s health, something she had been hoping for since the moment she
heard about the car accident.

“Our Rose!”

“Din! Today my father will be transferred to the common room to continue

his recovery. Moddaeng called me to tell me. I need to go to the hospital
right now.”

Page 322 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“I was also about to tell you good news, but Moddaeng beat
me to it!”
Kasama smiled, giving up, as the information she wanted to give to Tippapha
after finishing the conversation with Wayo came too late, as Moddaeng,
with his agility, called Rose
immediately and reported everything.

“What does this mean?”

“Lom called me to tell me about Thipakorn. He said he’ll be
coming to pick us up soon to go to the hospital. He should be
here soon. After that, we can go back to the farm. That way,
Rose will be able to visit Thipakorn every day. I know that
if you don’t go for three or four days, you’ll miss him a lot.”

“So does that mean the situation is now safe?”

“To some extent, yes. We cannot relax completely, but the
actions Lom has taken in recent days have given us a
significant advantage.”

“Do these actions by Lom have anything to do with the

commander’s removal?”

“Has Moddaeng told N'Rose about this yet?”

“Yes, Moddaeng told Rose.”

“It’s directly related. If it weren’t for Lom asking his father for
help, nothing would have been so easy.”
Din observed Tippapha's pretty face, who still looked confused
and didn't understand what she was trying to explain.
So she continued to tell the whole story, as Wayo
normally never bragged to anyone about being the daughter of
a high-ranking police officer. Despite having a father

Page 323 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

who was a high-ranking police officer, Wayo did not like to be seen as a "child
of influence." When asked about her surname, she would often say that
she was the daughter of a servant in the house. Uncle Watit often complained
about the stubbornness of his daughter, the lieutenant.

“Uncle Watit, Lom’s father, is a high-ranking police officer. A few

days ago, Lom went to the family for help on this matter, and with
the evidence that the commander was involved in corruption,
he was questioned and transferred immediately.”

“Rose never knew Lom’s father was a police officer.”

“Lom never told anyone. If the Mahattanakorn case

hadn’t gone this far, Lom would never have asked his uncle for
help.”
“P'Din, Rose, are they talking bad about Lom?”

“Lom, thank you very much for your help and sorry for
causing you trouble.”

“Don't worry, Rose, because for P'Sa-Nai, Lom was already

completely involved.”

She just hoped that everything would work out for the best and
that there would be a quick conclusion to all issues.

"Dad, do you remember what happened that night?"

"Mm."

Page 324 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Mr. Thipakorn responded with a low, almost inaudible sound, as if he

was trying to communicate. After being questioned by his daughter
about the event that had occurred some time ago, it was still fresh in his
memory, something he could not forget, especially considering that it was
due to this event that he found himself in this condition, with serious injuries,
requiring brain surgery and beginning the process of physical recovery to
return as close as possible to his former self.

"It wasn't an accident, was it?"

"Wa...we."

"No need to force it, Dad. If you can't do it, we can stop here."

"Wasu...wasu."

"Does this mean that Mr. Thipakorn saw Mr. Wasu at the scene of the
incident that night and confirms that it was not an accident?"

"Yes."

Kasama watched Wayo, who had asked Mr.

Thipakorn, as he tried to nod, confirmed with a nod the accurate
prediction.
This meant that the fact that the car's memory card had disappeared from
the scene of the incident was not a coincidence, but rather a
deliberate action to destroy the criminal's evidence in order to prevent any
clues leading to the perpetrator.

"If the father gets better and can communicate, he can give his statement
to the police. That could lead to Wasu being prosecuted, right? What
he did was clearly attempted murder."

Page 325 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"When Mr. Thipakorn is able to testify, it will be helpful to the case, but
unfortunately the dashcam evidence from the car was stolen, and there
are no security cameras in the area that could have captured what
happened."

"Don't worry, N'Rose. I believe there must be a solution."

Din tried to comfort his beloved, who looked disappointed.

Thipakorn's recovery was a key piece in this game, but it was also a
piece that could not change the situation the way they wanted.
Because there was still a crucial piece of evidence missing, much more
relevant than the victim's testimony.

“I won’t give up until my father gets justice!”

"It's a police car, isn't it? Why is it parked in front of the

house?"

"That's right, Moddaeng. Is this car your subordinate, Mr. Lorn's?"

"No, N'Rose."

Wayo responded with surprise before turning the car around and
parking it next to the police car that was in front of Din’s house that
afternoon. She, Din, N’Rose, and Moddaeng had just returned from
the hospital after talking to Mr. Thipakorn to gather information needed for
the case. She had no idea that the police would come to the
farm at this time.

"Hello, is there something wrong?"

Page 326 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"You are Kasama Watinwanich, the owner of the 'Saenrak' farm, right?"

"Yes, it's me."

"We need to invite her to testify at the police station right now."

"Wait! This isn't a misunderstanding, is it? Why are the police taking her?"

"This morning, officers carried out an inspection of the farm's delivery truck,
which was on its way to Chiang Mai, and found 500 kilograms of drugs
hidden in bags of raw materials. The truck driver claimed that he knew
nothing about it and was simply making the delivery as ordered.
Therefore, we need to invite her to give further details. Please come
with us."

"Then I'll go with her."

"N'Rose, you better wait here. What I'm going to do is just give my
statement, there's no reason to worry."

Kasama asked Tippapha to wait at the 'Saenrak' farm for security reasons,
as she believed that the drugs found in the farm's truck were probably a
set-up by enemies, and she already knew who it could be.

But if he were innocent and had verifiable working procedures, Kasama

believed his enemies' plan would not succeed.

"N'Rose, stay here. I'll accompany Din."

"Mr. Lorn, she's going to be okay, right? She's innocent. This has to be a
setup."

Page 327 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Don't worry, N'Rose. The evidence and the truth will prove her
innocence."

After being questioned for almost two hours without any clear
evidence, the police had to release the owner of Saenrak Farm, who
could have had some connection to drug trafficking. However, as there was
still not enough evidence to incriminate her, and with the arrival of a new
commander who had no connection to Mahattanakorn, the case did not
progress as expected. Otherwise, she would have been the
target of some dirty trick and could have been behind bars that very night.

“The only person capable of creating this situation is someone who knows
the working system from the inside. That day, I told P’Din not to let Madam
Kaew escape.”

“You think it was Kaew, don’t you?”

“I believe that Kaew must have allied with Mahattanakorn.

P'Din made a mistake. From now on, our situation will be even more
difficult.”

“I just wanted to give Kaew a chance to redeem herself.”

“But if you give the wrong person a chance, not only will they not be
able to do any good, they may even turn against us.”

Wayo spoke with concern about the tense situation they were in.
Watinwanich was leading this game, but giving the wrong person a chance
turned the situation upside down, putting them at a disadvantage. Now,
Mahattanakorn must be laughing, knowing that Kaew

Page 328 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

allied with them. It was unknown how far the chaos caused by Kaew
could affect them, and how much more trouble they would have to face.

"P'Din is back."

"N'Rose."

"P'Din, are you okay? What did the police say? Do they believe
you are innocent?"

"Everything will follow the law. From now on, I need to find more evidence
to prove my innocence, that the Saenrak Farm is not involved with drugs."

Kasama responded calmly to Tippapha, trying to maintain her

composure despite the doubts and accusations she faced. When they
returned to Saenrak Farm, she still could not fully understand what was
happening. If someone was really trying to manipulate the situation, they
would have done so while she and Tippapha had been away for
the past few days, a time when Wayo was also not in Chiang Rai.

"Moddaeng, when N'Rose and I were away, did anything

strange happen on the farm?"

"Nothing, P'Din. Lady Wayo's people were keeping watch. If

something had gone wrong, they probably would have noticed."

"The people of Wayo said that no one from outside entered."

"P'Din, what are you suspecting?"

Page 329 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"I think this is all Kaew's doing."

"Ah, speaking of Kaew, I remember now, P'Din. Yesterday, Auntie Chan

said that Uncle Kla stopped by to check, and when he found out that you
hadn't come back yet, he left an envelope for you. Auntie Chan must have
put it in your workroom..."

Before she finished speaking, Kasama quickly ran home, heading

straight to the workroom, with Tippapha and Wayo following her.
She found the brown envelope, half an A4 size, on the worktable, just as
Moddaeng had said, that Uncle Kla had asked Aunty Chan to
deliver.

"Memory Card"

Tippapha asked with a voice full of curiosity and looked at Wayo, who
looked equally confused, before P'Din hurriedly opened the file on the
notebook, wanting to know what could be so important inside a simple
memory card.

"Is it... the memory card from your dad's car camera?"

"No, N'Rose. It looks like it's a file from Wasu's car camera."

"As your father was trying to say, indeed... Wasu was at the scene of the
incident that night."

"Wasu must have quickly left the scene as soon as he heard another car
approaching. That was just when T'Pei arrived and called the ambulance."

"With the clear evidence, both the images and the audio, there is no way
Wasu can get away with this!"

Page 330 of 413

Lieutenant Wayo spoke with a voice full of certainty, believing

that they could finally incriminate the real culprit now that
they had this important piece of evidence, and yet it seemed like
there was more to come.

"There are more files, this is an audio file."

"The voice of Wasu and N'Kaew!"

"This evidence was sent by N'Kaew."

Kasama concluded with conviction, believing that the chance she had
given her former friend would not come back to destroy her, as
Wayo feared. Although she could not forgive what N'Kaew had done,
she felt gratitude because, in the end, N'Kaew had done the
right thing.

"Let me try, P'Din. Now that we have such solid evidence, even if it's
from big figures, they won't escape!"

"Leave the evidence to us, we'll take care of it."

"Don't worry, P'Din. Their game is over. Keep an eye out, we'll
soon see the end of Mahattanakorn!"

Chapter 17

Flowers that bloom must also wither.

"Tomorrow, Wasu will be arrested at the farm to face court proceedings

as per the arrest warrant. I believe he will not be allowed to post bail this
time as the police will likely oppose it, fearing that the criminal will tamper
with evidence or even flee or commit more crimes."

"I hope that this time Mahattanakorn won't be able to

escape. That all of this will finally end."
"With a little more time, everything will be resolved,
P'Din. The culprit will certainly be punished in prison."
"What about N'Kaew?"
Kasama asked about her former friend, who had been a key player in
helping to make closing the Mahattanakorn case easier. If it weren't
for the evidence N'Kaew had risked sending secretly, they would probably
still be trying to find a way to bring the culprits to justice. So Kasama
wanted to do something to repay her and thank her for her help.

"The people of Wayo are looking for her, but no one has yet been able to
find out where N'Kaew is hiding."

"Even if Wasu is arrested, N'Kaew will not be safe, because

while fighting for her case and that of her son, I believe
Wasupon will find a way to get revenge."

Page 332 of 413

"I will find N'Kaew before they find her, to protect her and use
her as a witness."

"I trust you, Wayo. At the very least, I want N'Kaew to be safe
and have a chance to start her life over."

"Don't worry, P'Din. Because N'Kaew chose to help us and

didn't waste the opportunity you gave her. I will help her until
the end."

Although N'Kaew has done terrible things that cannot be forgiven,

if she is now doing what is right, even if she cannot make
amends for the mistakes she made, she deserves to be
protected from the clutches of Mahattanakorn. No one else
should lose their lives to such irresponsible people.

"Ah, why did you bring the young lady back? You said you would
hand her over to
P'Din and Wayo."

"P'Din and Wayo are discussing an important matter. I don't want

to be impolite."

"It's nothing, I think you're overthinking it.

After all, we are from the same family. If it were me who was
impetuous and interfered, then yes, it would be more impolite."

Tippapha did not respond to Moddaeng's comment, and instead

took the tray with drinks, such as black coffee, that she had
prepared for P'Din and Wayo, along with some snacks, and
placed it on the side table in the garden. She did not want
to show herself or be rude to the

Page 333 of 413

make it clear that she had heard the entire conversation between her
girlfriend and her cousin.

"Are you okay, Rose? You look worried."

"I just have something on my mind, Moddaeng."

"Don't worry, Rose. Trust in Wayo's ability. If the police said that
everything is about to end, that means that after the
criminal is captured, all of you, P'Din, P'Thip, and everyone at
Chomchan Farm and Saenrak Farm, will be safe and everything
will return to tranquility."

"I'm not worried about that, Moddaeng. Because in the end, the
guilty party will have to face the consequences of their own
actions."

"So what are you worried about, Rose?"

"I'm thinking about N'Kaew."

"Ah, if it's about that, there's no need to worry. N'Kaew is gone
and won't be returning to Saenrak Farm. Either way, you and
Moddaeng will always be number one. There's no reason to
worry."
The beautiful woman sighed, clearly distraught. Even if Moddaeng
tried to cheer her up or talk about being number one, it didn't
make her feel proud of her position, nor happy that she had
earned the title of winner and was with P'Din, alone.

She knew that what N'Kaew did was wrong and terrible,
but over time, she also displayed impulsive and exaggerated
behaviors, without considering the feelings of those close
to P'Din. Although this arose from jealousy, which caused
her to behave

Page 334 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

as if she owned P'Din, especially when she had yet to open her heart to
Din and acknowledge that her feelings were reciprocated. And as for N'Kaew,
P'Din had talked to her when they were in the safe haven.

P'Din told her everything about N'Kaew and explained that she actually
knew how N'Kaew felt, but since she was an important friend, she took a
clear stance to avoid any problems. P'Din did not blame her for anything
that happened, unlike N'Kaew, who blamed her for everything, believing that
she was the cause of the problems in P'Din's life and everyone at Saenrak
Farm.

Furthermore, N'Kaew risked her safety to collect important evidence and

deliver it to P'Din. N'Kaew's love for P'Din was immense, a lasting
and devoted love, and this made her feel confused and insecure
about whether the love she had for P'Din would be enough to compete
with it.

There was still the long-standing connection between two people who
were more than friends and helpers, as P'Din told her, expressing her
disappointment and sadness, as she saw N'Kaew as part of the family.
Therefore, she still cared about her and asked Wayo to protect her.

"The love N'Kaew has for P'Din, even though it's problematic, is
greater than one can imagine."

"Are you still jealous of N'Kaew, Rose? I think if there's something, it would
be best to talk to P'Din directly, don't you think?"

"No, Moddaeng. Now I'm not speaking out of jealousy. I'm just saying what
I really feel about the situation."

Page 335 of 413

And she also prayed that N'Kaew would be safe, away from any more
tragedies...

"Daddy, the police raided the farm! It's full of police officers!"

Why is everyone coming here? Did Wasu do something again? Go and

ask!

Mr. Wasupon ordered his subordinates to find the reason for yet
another problem his son had caused, which made him always have
to help him clean up the mess. After composing himself, he went to
face the police who had invaded the farm without warning.

"Good morning, gentlemen officers. It seems that you are visiting

my farm frequently. If you are not careful, I will start to think that this is a
personal persecution."

"This is certainly not an unjust persecution. Today we are here

with an arrest warrant to arrest Mr. Wasu Mahattanakorn and bring him
to face the charges."

The officer in charge of the case showed the warrant to Wasupon,

following procedure, and then gave the order for the police to raid
the premises and arrest the accused for prosecution.

"I think there's a misunderstanding. My son didn't do anything wrong."

"Mr. Wasupon, you will also need to come to the police station, as we
suspect that you are

Page 336 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

involved in a drug trafficking case through illegal border routes. The police
have new evidence that was obtained last time."

"..."

"Arrest Mr. Wasupon and take him to the police station."

"Wanna play with me? You chose the

wrong person!" Bang!

The sound of a gunshot echoed from the accused's gun, hitting the police
officer and causing him to fall to the ground, before his
subordinates, armed with military rifles, began firing wildly at the officers to
rescue Wasupon from arrest. Meanwhile, the officers scattered for
cover, triggering a sustained gunfight.

"Don't let the accused escape! Activate the lockdown!"

The police chief quickly gave the order after Wasu, the accused, grabbed
Wasupon and put him in a truck without a license plate and fled the
farm at high speed, accompanied by several vehicles belonging
to his subordinates, making it difficult for the police to track them. The
criminals also shot at the vehicle's tires, causing it to almost roll
over, which allowed them to escape the pursuit.

This allowed Mahattanakorn to once again escape the situation

without being arrested!

“P'Din, Ms. Kaew has contacted you.”

“Did you find Kaew, Lom?”

“The police said that Ms. Kaew has been contacted to be a witness
and testify tomorrow. I have tracked the signal from the phone she used
to contact them. Ms. Kaew’s location is in Chiang Mai.”

“Chiang Mai, really?”

“But I still don’t know the exact location in Chiang Mai, but my team
is looking for it.”

“I think I can guess, Lom. Kaew must be hiding at a relative’s house in

Chiang Mai. Uncle Kla must know where she is.”

This is because, in Chiang Mai, it is Kaew's old home before she

moved to Chiang Rai several decades ago.
And what I remember, Kasama already heard the assistant say that the
deceased aunt left this house as an inheritance to Kaew.
This means that the safest place now, away from the reach of

Mahattanakorn, it would be there, where no one knows where it is and

cannot find it.

“P'Din, Lom, have you seen the breaking news?”

“Rose, what happened?”

“Rose saw the news about Wasu and his foster father, Wasupon, fighting
the police. And now they’ve both managed to evade the arrest
warrant. The police are trying to track them down. I’m worried, P’Din.
I’m afraid they’ll get angry and come here.”

“Don’t worry, Rose. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

Page 338 of 413

“Lom will send reinforcements to guard the farm while we try to catch
them. During the time that Lom is not here, until he returns, P'Din and
you, Rose, are to stay here. Do not leave under any circumstances.”

“Take care of yourself too, Lom!”

Kasama worriedly warned Wayo about his wife's safety and calmly
comforted Tippapha. Although the situation was now dangerous and there
was no way to relax, she had to be strong and be there for her wife, as
well as protect her as best she could, as promised.

"Dad, you can go ahead, I can't go yet because I have some things I
need to take care of."

"Don't be stupid, Wasu! If you don't run away now, will you wait
for the cops to find you and take you to jail?"

"I'll run away, but only after I finish off the traitor.
That wretch, Kaew!"

"Dad, we need to go now before the police find us."

"Your call, Wasu."

Mr. Wasupon, who seemed to love his son very much, but when
it comes to saving his own skin, is willing to cut through any
obstacles and put his own interests first. Like now, when he decides to
escape from prison and go to a neighboring country through a route
used for transportation, where he has allies ready to help, since he
transferred some assets to

Page 339 of 413

prepare them in case of emergency. Mahattanakorn, no matter what

happens, will never be caught and thrown in prison as they expect.

"Sir, if you don't run away now, you may not be able to escape."

"Let me run away like a cornered dog and let them be happy that they
defeated me."

"But, sir, if we can retreat and wait for the opportunity for
revenge, it will not be too late. But if you are arrested, you will not have a
chance to take revenge."

"I will not back down or wait for any opportunity, because now
I need to destroy their lives completely!"

Din, the cocky lieutenant, Rose, Kaew...

You have destroyed my life, Mahattanakorn, and now my comfortable

life is coming to an end, whose fault is it?
You will all destroy yourselves and die along with me.

"Hello, Kaew."

"Who are you?"

"We are Lieutenant Wayo's subordinates. She sent us to bring you to the
safe house for safety reasons, as Mr. Wasu and his father, Wasupon,
are now on the run from the police."

"And how do you know where I am?"

Page 340 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Uncle Kla, Mrs. Kaew's father, was the one who passed the location
on to Mr. Kasama."

Kaew listened to Lieutenant Wayo’s subordinates’ response with suspicion,

not easily trusting anyone, especially in a situation as delicate as the
one she was in. After tricking Wasu into trusting her, she infiltrated
Nabanan Farm before obtaining secret information about the two, father
and son, and delivering it to Kasama, as she wanted to use the
opportunity she had to do something right for once. She thought that by
now the Mahattanakorn already knew and were running away, and that
Wasu probably knew that she was the traitor, the poisonous snake that
bit her. “Let’s get out of here, Kaew, follow us.” Bang! Bang!

"Wasu."

"What's wrong, Kaew? Did you turn so pale from seeing me?"

Wasu said through gritted teeth, after taking advantage of the moment to
shoot the two subordinates of the cocky lieutenant, eliminating any
chance of help for Kaew.
She probably regretted trying to oppose him and

destroy someone like him. Before joining anyone, he always investigated

the other's history thoroughly, and if she thought the house in Chiang Mai
would protect her from his tentacles, she made a big mistake.

"If you are so full of anger, come kill me. Why kill others who have nothing
to do with it?"

"Killing you here would be too easy, Kaew. Even if you die, it wouldn't
be fun. I'd rather use you before you die and watch the one you love die in
front of you."

Page 341 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Don't do anything to P'Din!"

"You won't even have the breath to speak anymore, but you still love her.
Pathetic, Kaew. You, the traitor who dared to betray me, I will make your life
torture. It will be like living dead."

"Now, I'm not afraid of death. If hell has

you and the entire Mahattanakorn lineage, I will be happy to

go." Pah!

The man raised the gun and slapped her in the face with the butt, causing
her head to turn with the force of the impact, while blood flowed from the
wound on her lip.
Even after such a beating, Kaew still looked defiant, taunting as if she
was no longer afraid of death.

"Take her to the car. After you use her, I'll let you do whatever you
want with her. Until then, if you want, do whatever you want."

You, however, will rot in hell and wish you had never been born!

"Lieutenant, we have been unable to contact our men."

"And is there any news from the police chief?" "Latest

news: we found the criminals' car, which was parked in the woods next
to the road, but we didn't find anyone. Now the police chief is

Page 342 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

organizing a wide search of the surrounding area as we fear

the criminals may try to flee to another country."

Wayo listened to the report from the subordinate who accompanied

her in Chiang Mai. After sending more men to protect
Saenrak Farm, upon learning of the escape of the two
Mahattanakorn, she immediately headed to the
coordinates provided by the head of security, Uncle Kla, and
ordered the other subordinates to advance the search to ensure
that Wasu's men did not arrive before her and take the important
witness.

"We've arrived on the scene. Stay alert, Sergeant."

The lieutenant grabbed his gun and prepared for the search
operation, speeding up when he saw his subordinates' car
parked in front of the house, and soon found a body lying in a pool
of blood. One of the two was dead, while the other was seriously
injured, but still conscious enough to communicate.

"Sergeant, call an ambulance to take the injured man!"

"Wasu... took the witness."

"Wasu!"

The lieutenant, now alert, ran back to his car and began
driving at high speed, heading towards Saenrak Farm. He
hoped that things would not unfold as he feared. Otherwise,
the next destination for the criminals, who were evading capture,
would probably be Saenrak Farm, where he had important
people.

"Shit, we fell into their trap!"

Page 343 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"P'Din! What was that gunshot sound?"

"It looks like there was a shooting outside."

Kasama hugged Tippapha, who was anxiously awaiting

the developments at Saenrak Farm, worried. After her
beloved was startled by the first gunshot, a series of near-
deafening gunshots followed. That was when one of her
subordinates, Moddaeng, ran to them in the office.

"Lady Din, Miss Rose, Wasu's men have invaded! Should

we flee now? They are armed with heavy weapons, and Lady
Lom's men won't be able to hold out for long."

"P'Din, what should we do?"

"Calm down, Rose. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Tippapha looked at his wife, who was still calm, trying to keep her
calm so that she wouldn't lose her composure. P'Din then took
the gun from the drawer and prepared for any emergency,
keeping his hand over hers, as if ready to protect her at any
moment.

"Let's get out of here."

The woman led her beloved away from the dangerous

situation, where a direct confrontation would be too risky, and she
did not want anyone else to be lost at the hands of such cruel
people as Mahattanakorn. With all the evidence they now had,
there was no longer any doubt as to who he was.

Page 344 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Mahattanakorn was someone who never regretted his actions!

"What's this? We haven't even said hello and you're already running
away, Din!"

"Wasu!"

Kasama named the one who had broken into the house, meaning that
Lom's men sent to protect her were probably all eliminated. Before
Wasu could aim his gun at her and Tippapha, Kasama quickly pushed
his wife into hiding behind him and grabbed her own gun, ready to
react if Wasu tried to harm any of her companions.

"Calm down, Kasama. Don't think I'm going to finish you off now. We
still have a lot of fun ahead of us."

"What do you want, Wasu?"

"You still have the nerve to ask what I want after everything you've
done?
You destroyed Mahattanakorn, made me and my father have to flee.
This is all your fault."

"No, it's all your fault, Wasu. The dirty things Mahattanakorn
did were never forced, you did everything of your own free will. And now
you have to bear the consequences of your own actions."

We all receive the consequences of our actions, no matter how

late or early, but in the end, the truth is that Wasu is receiving the end
that he himself created. This means that at least the world still has some
justice.

"Shut up!"

Page 345 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"You're right, P'Din. Accept the truth, you scoundrel."

"It's a good thing you're here, you ant. I've been wanting to get
revenge on you for a while now."

"Moddaeng! Don't do anything to Moddaeng!"

The owner of the beautiful face screamed when she saw Moddaeng
being attacked by Wasu, after having confronted the truth.
He then used the gun to slap Moddaeng in the face, causing her
to fall and hit her head on the wall, knocking her unconscious.

"Now that the matter is quiet, I can finally negotiate with you."

"What do you want?"

"You guys will take the gift I prepared for P'Din."

Kasama observed and assessed the other side's posture, who had given
orders for his subordinates to bring something to her workroom.
Apparently, Wasu's men were only two. If she could buy time until Wayo
arrived, as she had taken advantage of the moment to call her cousin earlier,
at least Wayo would have heard and been aware of everything that
was happening.

"So, what do you think, P'Din? Did you like the gift I prepared for
you?"

"Kaew!"

"P'Din, don't believe him."

"You look at Kaew with those worried eyes, aren't you afraid of getting
into trouble with your wife, P'Din?"

Page 346 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"I trust P'Din above all else. No need to try to complicate things,
Wasu."

How did she not know how bad the situation was now?
Because Kaew was being used as a shield and hostage by Wasu, and
the visible bruises on her face showed that she had been
injured before. It was as if if P'Din pulled the trigger, the real victim, Kaew,
would be the first to be hit. But if Wasu fired at any moment, P'Din
would have to take the shot in her place, since she had placed her behind
her to protect her.

"Why would I manipulate you, Rose? If you weren't stupid, you would
use what little brain you have to understand reality."

"What reality?"

"The reality is that P'Din is never satisfied. What do you call that?
Loving your friend and mourning your wife? Or fishing with both hands? But
like I said, Rose, you're her wife and Kaew is her ex. It's hard to choose
between one or the other."

"…"

"That's not true, N'Rose."

"P'Din, you don't need to explain. I don't believe Wasu's words. Only an
idiot would."

Tippapha shouted angrily and in a loud tone, because she didn't want
to act foolishly or get caught up in the villains' game, putting P'Din in an
even more difficult position. P'Din was already doing his best to protect her.
She knew that Din loved her, and she loved her very much too. In the
most difficult times, the only thing they could do was trust each other,
so they could get through this difficult situation safely.

Page 347 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Ugh, until now you're still going to trust P'Din? You're an idiot, Rose.
Do you want me to prove something to you? Maybe then you'll finally
open your eyes and stop being fooled by this fake."

"Stop talking, Wasu. No matter how hard you try, you won't destroy the
trust Rose and I have."

"So, you can handle it, right, P'Din? If I blow Kaew's head off right here in
front of you, I'll kill her right in front of you..."

"No, Wasu! Don't do anything to Kaew!"

"See? Just one threat and you're already clinging to Kaew without even
caring about your wife."

"Kaew is my friend, Rose is my heart, and most importantly, I won't

let you hurt anyone else."

"Then let's negotiate, P'Din."

Kasama glared at Wasu, who was staring at her with a hard expression,
before making a proposal that seemed like a psychological attack,
accompanied by a laugh as if he had completely lost his reason.

Now, the other side was willing to do unexpected things or even

commit acts without thinking about the consequences, without
fear of making mistakes.

"Between Kaew and Rose, which one do you choose?"

"I don't have to choose. Rose is the one I love, and Kaew is my
friend." "So, between watching your friend die or watching your wife die,
what do you choose, P'Din? If you choose Rose, I'll
kill Kaew, but if you choose Rose, I'll kill Kaew."

Page 348 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Kaew, Rose dies."

"…"

"Choose now, damn it! Are you mute now?"

Although the answer was clear, if she had to choose someone, she
would choose Rose without hesitation. But the truth was that by making
that choice, she would be sending her friend Kaew to her death, handing
her friend over to the reaper, without trying to protect her, even though she
was the one who helped her, using the opportunities she had to deal with
the Mahatthanakorn.

Even if she didn't love Kaew...

She wouldn't allow someone who was like her family to be murdered!

She would have to find a way to protect Tippapha and make sure Kaew
didn't have to sacrifice himself. There had to be a way out, something she
could do to resolve the situation.

"I'll count to three. If you don't decide, the first person I'll kill is you."

Wasu cocked his gun, ready to shoot one of the three women in front of
him. If Kasama didn't choose between Rose and Kaew in this
game he had set up, the first person to die in front of the two
women he loved would be Kasama.

But he had probably forgotten that people who pretend to be good often
have short lives!

"One, two..."

"P'Din! Quickly, take Rose away! I'll hold them off."

Page 349 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

She knew that P'Din was a good person, and even if she had made
mistakes with important people, P'Din would never think of
harming her or letting her face death, something she no longer
feared.

Death, how painful could it be? She had already experienced

so much disappointment and sadness from unrequited love, being
rejected by someone she loved, and seeing the reality of P'Din's
actions, knowing clearly that if it came down to it, she would
choose to protect Rose.

P'Din would protect her out of love...

Kaew would also protect her, out of love...

"Kaew! Watch out!"

Kasama shouted, warning Kaew to be careful, after the other

person, on impulse, tried to grab the gun from Wasu, who was about
to shoot her. While Kaew probably did not have enough strength
to fight the tall man, the gun in Wasu's hand was swinging all over
the place. Kasama quickly positioned himself to protect and cover
Tippapha, afraid that the bullet might deflect and hit his wife.

"You're going to die, Kaew!"

"You, wretch, are the one who must die,

Wasu!" Bang!

The sound of a gunshot echoed unexpectedly, as Tippapha

hugged her lover in shock. From where she was standing, she
didn’t know if the bullet had hit one of the two who were
fighting and had suddenly stopped. Before she knew it, drops of
blood began to flow from a body, and Kaew’s body collapsed, hit by
the bullet.

Page 350 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Hey, the police are coming."

"Shit! We're out of ammo. Let's get out of here."

Wasu cursed in frustration, seeing that he didn't have enough ammunition

to kill Kasama or Tippapha, but at least he managed to eliminate the
poisonous snake like Kaew.
He planned to leave, regroup, and return when he had a chance to
exact revenge on what was left.

"P'Din, Rose, how are you? Sorry for falling into their trap..."

"Wayo, call an ambulance, Kaew was hit by Wasu."

"You, P'Din?"

"Don't worry, Kaew. Hold on tight."

"Kaew, I'm sorry."

"No need to say anything else, Kaew. Once you get to the doctor, you'll
be fine."

“...”

Although she wanted to believe that everything would be fine, she didn’t
want to fall for the words of a bad person who was trying to manipulate
her. She didn’t want to behave childishly or disrespectfully toward
someone who had always given her love. But why was Rose’s heart aching?

Maybe it was seeing P'Din's reaction to someone else at this moment.

Rose also wanted P'Din to hold her affectionately...

And that he would comfort her, saying that everything would be okay.

Page 351 of 413

Chapter 18

She pondered her heart, wondering who was inside.

"Are you sure everything is okay? I think it would be best to let the doctor do
a more detailed examination, in case there is anything out of the ordinary.
When it all happened, Kaew's head hit the wall and she lost consciousness."

"Kaew's head was only cut a little, but it's already been stitched
up. Don't worry, she's fine. She even seems stronger than I thought,
you don't need to worry, Rose."

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect Kaew."

"You don't need to feel guilty, Rose. This is not your fault. It was the fault
of people connected to the Mahattanakorn.
Unfortunately, Wasupon managed to escape. A bad person like him
should be in prison together with Wasu!"

Tippapha also felt sad, after all, the culprit, Wasupon, had
managed to escape with his wiles. She had learned from Wayo that
after the incident, Wasupon had fled to a neighboring country. Wasu was
seriously injured after resisting arrest by the police and an exchange of
gunfire, but he was captured and taken to the hospital for treatment.

Even though Wasu had done many bad things and killed innocent
people, she didn't want him to die. If he did, he wouldn't understand the
mistake he had made. She wanted him to be safe as a human being
and to be locked up until he understood the gravity of what he had
done.

Page 352 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Or would you rather Wasu die soon, after everything he's done? I pray he
doesn't survive, that he dies in the operating room!"

"Don't compete with him, that would be a sin, Moddaeng. What people do
will have its consequences."

"You're too kind, Rose. I don't want to feel sorry for a bad person."

"True. Moddaeng, stay here while I go see P'Din.

I don't know how she is, I need to know."

After the incident at the farm was over, P'Din took Kaew to the
ambulance, while Wayo brought Tippapha and Moddaeng, who was
beginning to regain consciousness, to the hospital. Rose wanted to make
sure that Kaew was checked out and that her wounds were treated.
Afterwards, she went to her father's room, where Wayo updated her on
the situation, saying that Wasu had been arrested and was seriously
injured.
She had also learned that P'Din was waiting in front of the operating
room, waiting for news that Kaew was out of danger or safe.

"But Rose, you look pale. I think it's best to wait here while I go get
P'Din."

"Don't worry, Moddaeng, I'm fine."

"Rose! Someone please help! Nurse, someone passed out!"

Moddaeng asked the nurse for help when she saw Rose faint in front of
her. She had noticed that Rose looked tired and exhausted, especially
after leaving the farm with Wayo. But when the lieutenant asked, Rose
seemed to respond the same way she had told Moddaeng, saying
that everything was fine.

"I want to apologize to you, P'Din. I'm sorry for not raising my
daughter properly. Kaew has gone off and caused trouble for
you, even though you and your father have been very good to
both of us."
"Now is not the time to blame Kaew. I have already forgiven
her for everything she has done. What I ask now is just for
Kaew to return safely."
"Kaew, please don't die, daughter. Come back to me. You
need to come back to thank P'Din for everything."
Kasama stared at her friend, who seemed to be drowning
in grief. She and the head of the staff had been waiting
in the operating room for nearly three hours now, without
any news or updates from the medical team that was
trying to save Kaew’s life.
Kaew sacrificed herself to protect her and the people she loved.
That was why Kaew was seriously injured, with her condition
between life and death. It was not only that Kaew should recover
so that she could thank her, but as a friend, she also wanted
to repay the help and everything Kaew had done for
Watinwanich and Amornjinda. She wanted to apologize for
everything and tell those important people, who were
like her family, that she wanted them to be friends again.

And that she would forgive all mistakes without keeping

grudge...

"P'Din, the doctor is out."

"Doctor, how is Kaew? Is she safe?"

"At this time, her general condition is no longer critical.

She lost a lot of blood because the bullet went through her ribs and
was close to her lungs. The internal bleeding also affected her breathing.
The doctor is now performing surgery to remove the bullets and control
the bleeding. We need to watch for complications or further bleeding
in the affected areas."

"..."

"After surgery, the doctor will transfer the patient to the ICU to monitor for
possible complications daily.
If during this time there is no more bleeding and the wound heals quickly,
the patient is safe and will come out of the crisis."

Kaew needs to fight to get back, just like I fought to get back. Kaew will hear
from me that I have already forgiven her and that I want us to be good friends
again.

Get up soon so we can fix everything together, Kaew...

"See? Because of you, Rose, the doctor had to give you IV fluids."

"I'm not that bad, Moddaeng."

"The doctor just said that you went through such a shock that it
made you faint. That's why you're not well and you fainted."

Page 355 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Don't tell P'Din, please. Don't tell my father either.

"But..."

"Everyone has been through enough hardships. I don't want to be

another problem for P'Din and my father to worry about."

She didn't want something small like this to cause more confusion for the
people around her, especially for something that originated with her. Both her
father, who was trying to recover and get out of the hospital soon,
and P'Din, who had to deal with the case she was accused of, solve the
Mahattanakorn case, and still monitor the condition of Kaew, who
was shot while trying to protect P'Din.

Since P’Din already had heavy burdens to bear, she wanted to act more
maturely and ease the burden she was feeling. Although what she
could do wasn’t as grand as what Kaew did, she was always willing to
do whatever it took to help P’Din. “Maybe it would be better if you called
P’Din to come here and support you. That way, you would have
strength.”

"I'm fine, just a small cut, but Kaew was shot and is in serious
condition, Moddaeng. The person who needs P'Din's support right now
isn't me."

"I know, Moddaeng, that you're worried about Kaew.

As someone who knows her, I worry too.
But P'Din can care about both Kaew and you, it doesn't have to be just
one person."

"..."

Page 356 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Sorry, I'm going to slap myself in the mouth. What I said doesn't make
sense."

"I also care about Kaew, and if there is still a chance, I want to
apologize."

She wanted to apologize for many things she may have done inappropriately,
which made Kaew feel bad.
At that moment, she didn't know that Kaew's relationship with P'Din was
much deeper than it seemed.
Even if it wasn't something romantic, Kaew had always been important
to P'Din before she herself came into the picture and caused trouble at
Saenrak Farm.

Kaew always helped and stayed by P'Din's side for a long time, but
she, who entered last, ended up showing possessiveness
and jealousy, making her make the mistake of pushing Kaew away, which
led Kaew to follow a wrong path and face difficulties.

Even though P'Din never said Rose was wrong...

Now, Rose needed to ask herself and reflect on everything she had done
so far, and think: how should she proceed in the future?

“The doctor recommends that if the patient’s family has no problems

with the costs and travel, it would be better to transfer him to continue
treatment in Bangkok. There, there is more modern medical equipment than
in the Chiang Rai branch hospital, which will allow the patient to recover
fully.”

Page 357 of 413

“Doctor, do you want me to take my father to continue his

treatment in Bangkok?”
“I am just giving a recommendation. The final decision is up
to the family and the patient themselves.”
Tippapha listened carefully to the doctor in charge as he
discussed the directions for her father’s treatment. Although he
was showing steady improvement and responding well to
treatment, if the doctor’s recommendation was more beneficial
to him than staying in the current hospital, she would be
willing to take him to another facility to continue his
recovery.

“Dad, do you want to go to Bangkok with Rose? That way, you

can recover faster.”
With a radiant smile, the pretty-faced young woman
asked her father, holding his hand affectionately. After all,
things were starting to get sorted out. Wasu had been arrested
by the police, while Wasupon, her father, was on the run from
the authorities and probably wouldn’t have the courage
to return to Nabanan Farm. Furthermore, Wayo had said that
Kaew’s surgery had been a success, but her general condition
still required daily monitoring and constant observation.

“Let’s go to Bangkok, Dad! Moddaeng wants to get out of

Phu Yao and experience life in the big city.”

“I didn’t even say I was taking you along.”

“Oh! Rose, don’t be cruel to Moddaeng. I want to go and
help you take care of father!”
“So you mean you’re only going to take care of my father?
Does that mean you won’t take care of me?”

Page 358 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

“But taking care of you is P'Din's job! She'll be there soon to take care
of you too.”

"..."

It wasn't quite like that! Taking care of her wasn't P'Din's responsibility…

That was just a temporary request from his father, as he feared that
something would happen to him sooner than expected.
But now he had recovered and would soon be completely well,
allowing her to take on the role of caring for him. She could finally live with
her father, as she had always dreamed, living a peaceful and happy life,
without having to fear that the Mahattanakorn would persecute her or
demand any promises.

Did this mean that the marriage of convenience was no longer

necessary?

"P'Din."

"Lom."

"Don't tell me you've been here since last night."

"I just wanted to make sure Kaew was okay. The doctor just
transferred her to the ICU."

She wanted to wait until she was sure everything was okay, so she could
rest knowing she had done everything she could.
She even assured Uncle Kla that he didn't need to worry about the
costs, as she would take care of it. All that mattered was that the doctors
did everything they could to save her friend.

Page 359 of 413

"From what I heard, the surgery was a success."

"But Kaew isn't out of danger yet. What about N'Rose? Where is she
now?"

"She has been with Mr. Thipakorn since last night."

"I'll go look for her. She must be very worried by now."

Kasama mentioned her beloved, with whom she had faced

difficult times. After going through the danger of fighting for Kaew’s
life, she felt relieved to know that Tippapha was safe. She had managed
to protect her without letting her get even a scratch. She had also kept her
promise to her wife and Mr. Thipakorn, proving that she had not
failed those who trusted her.

"Before you go see Rose, come with me, P'Din."

"What happened?"

"Wasu has woken up. A guy like him really is lucky... It seems like hell isn't
ready to receive him yet."

"And is there any news about Mr. Wasupon?"

"Last night, police found four charred bodies in a forest near the
border. They are investigating their identities, but the bodies are so
badly burned that there are no traces that would allow them to be immediately
identified. No documents or evidence were found at the scene."

"Is there a possibility that one of them is Mr. Wasupon?"

Page 360 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Yes, there's a good chance, P'Din. If there was a conflict of interest,

anyone who was rendered useless could have been eliminated or killed
to cover the mastermind's tracks."

Even though the forensic examinations had yet to yield concrete

results, Wayo was almost certain that the bodies found were those of
Wasupon and his henchmen.
As for Wasu, even though he had survived, he was now
beginning to pay for what he had done. This was evident by the furious
screams that echoed from the room where he was hospitalized, under
police surveillance to prevent his escape. "Let me go! If I leave here, you
will all die!"

"Lieutenant, ever since the doctor finished his evaluation, the prisoner
hasn't stopped freaking out."

"If he's so out of control, why did they only put handcuffs on
him, Lom? Didn't they tie his feet?"

"Wasu was shot in the middle of his back while fighting the police
officers. As a result, he has lost movement from the waist down and will
no longer be able to walk. From now on, he will spend the rest of his life in
a wheelchair... and will pay for his crimes in prison."

“Does he already know about the bodies, which possibly include Mr.
Wasupon?”

“Not yet, P'Din. But if he's already in this state without knowing it,
imagine when he finds out he's lost his father's protection? I think he'll really
go crazy then.”

The time has come to pay for the sins of the past and spend the rest
of your life reflecting on your crimes!

"N'Rose."

"P'Din."

Kasama hugged Tippapha with all her love, returning the younger girl's
tight embrace. After going through such difficult times together and
surviving, they could finally meet again there.

"Yeah! In that case, I'm going to go out and get something to eat. I don't
want to get in the way."

Moddaeng cleared her throat lightly, drawing her friend's attention.

Ever since she saw P'Din, she couldn't contain her feelings and
threw herself into her arms without any reservations. Only then did
she realize that she had shown her affection openly, right in front of her
father and Wayo, which made her a little embarrassed. So she hurriedly
moved away a little and hid it with a slight smile.

"Apologies for the delay."

"How is Kaew?"

"Overall, the situation is still worrying. The bullet hit the side of her rib and
almost pierced her lung. Doctors managed to remove it, but she has not
yet been able to leave the ICU."

"P'Din, don't worry. I believe Kaew will be fine."

Tippapha placed her hand over Kasama's, who held hers firmly.
They both sought comfort in each other's warm touch, trying to compensate
for the fear and anguish they were experiencing. However, they expressed
their feelings in a restrained manner, because they knew they
were

Page 362 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

under the watchful eye of their father and Wayo, who watched in silence,
smiling discreetly. Perhaps they were already used to the affection
between the two and, therefore, did not make any comments.

"Since we are all gathered together, I will take this opportunity to

update you on Mr. Thipakorn's case and on Wasu and Mr. Wasupon."

"P'Din, I have something important to talk to you about."

"What's up, N'Rose?"

In the past few days, P'Din had been busy going to the police station and
the hospital every day, so she hadn't yet had a chance to discuss
the doctor's recommendation about transferring her father to
Bangkok for further treatment. At the very least, since they
were a couple, she wanted to consult P'Din before making such an
important decision.
However, they were both so busy that they barely had time for each other.
Even so, she didn't want to seem spoiled or throw a tantrum, as she
understood the situation well. So, she took advantage of this
morning, three days after the bad events, to ask Din while they finally
had the chance to have breakfast together. "It's about my father...
P'Din, do you think it would be a good idea if I took him to..."

"P'Din! P'Din!"

"What's wrong, Uncle Kla? Why are you so agitated?"

Page 363 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"The hospital just called to say Kaew woke up!"

"Kaew!"

"N'Rose, we'll talk about this later, okay? I need to go to the

hospital with Uncle Kla now."

Kasama explained to Tippapha, believing that she would

understand the urgency of the situation. Once this was resolved,
they could talk more calmly about the matter she wanted to discuss,
as she did not want to give a hasty answer without thinking it
through.

"Then I'll come along, P'Din! I want to visit Kaew too."

"P'Din and Uncle Kla, go visit first. I'll just go to the bathroom quickly
and I'll meet you guys."

"Then go visit Kaew first, P'Din. The nurse said I need to sign some
documents."

"N'Rose, meet me there, okay?"

"Yes, P'Din, I'll be right there."

In truth, saying that she needed to go to the bathroom was just an

excuse from a coward like her. No matter how hard she tried, she
could never completely rid herself of those little annoyances and the
childish resentment she still carried. She wanted to be the girlfriend
who would make P'Din proud of choosing her, instead of Kaew,
who had always offered Din such intense and grandiose love. But
these past few days, every time she had a moment alone, she would
get stuck in these thoughts, silently reflecting.

Page 364 of 413

about everything. He asked himself repeatedly where exactly

his true place would be.
"Come on, Rose. If you keep looking like you're
brooding over things, Kaew might not accept your apology."

She wanted to accept the relationship between P'Din and Kaew without
feeling pain in her heart...

Why did it have to be so difficult?

"Kaew."

"Khun Din..."

"Don't try to get up, Kaew. The doctor hasn't allowed you to
move yet."
Kasama gently touched her injured friend’s shoulder, a
gentle gesture to prevent Kaew from disobeying the
doctor’s orders. She was the first to visit her and was
waiting for Uncle Kla and Tippapha to arrive to visit her
as well. Although Kaew had regained
consciousness, she had not yet been moved to a
regular room. She needed to remain in the ICU until the
attending physician authorized her to be moved. At
the moment, visitors were limited to only fifteen
minutes at a time.

"I'm glad you're safe, Kaew."

"I'm sorry..."

Page 365 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"You don't need to apologize anymore. I've already forgiven

you for everything. In fact, I also want to apologize for putting
you in danger because of me."

"It was my fault..."

"It wasn't anyone's fault. The real culprits have already
gotten what they deserve. But if you still feel bad, then
promise me that you'll recover quickly. Can you promise me
that?"
"I..."

Kaew had never imagined that she would have a second

chance at life. As she had always said, she was not
afraid of death, even if it meant leaving this world. But in the
end, she had been wrong, hadn’t she? If she had left before
her time, she would never have received forgiveness
from the person she loved. And now, P’Din was
holding her hand, giving her the strength to keep fighting
until she was completely recovered.
"You understand, don't you? Your life is important to me.
For me, Kaew is more than a friend."
"..."

"Because you're like part of my family."

"I have already made my decision, doctor, about my father's

treatment."
"Okay. Does the family want him to continue treatment at this hospital
or would they prefer to transfer him?"

Page 366 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"I will transfer my father to continue treatment in Bangkok."

"If that is your final decision, I will arrange the procedures

for the transfer." "Thank you very much."

Tippapha thanked the doctor in charge of the case, who was helping to
organize everything. A few days earlier, he had given her this
recommendation, but she asked for time to think about it, as it was
an important decision.
Initially, he wanted to consult P'Din before making his decision, but after
thinking it over, he decided that his father's well-being was the
most important thing to prioritize. He didn't want to mix up personal issues
and wanted to devote as much time as possible to taking care of him,
as he had planned from the beginning, even before he left for
Thailand.

"Rose, are you sure about this decision?"

"Yes, Dad. I've already decided. Let's go to Bangkok for a while,

leave all this behind and start over."

Maybe then things will fall into place and follow the path they were
meant to follow...

"Miss Rose, if P'Din finds out about this later, she will definitely be
angry!"

"I intended to tell her, Moddaeng. But you saw for yourself that
ever since everything happened, P'Din has been busy with so many
things that she hasn't had time.
I actually wanted to tell her and let her take me to the airport, but today
she already left early for the hospital."

Page 367 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"But if Miss Rose had warned us earlier, P'Din wouldn't have gone to
the hospital!"

"She goes to the hospital every day. Some days she's there before I
even go to visit my dad."

"Miss Rose decided to go to Bangkok because she's upset with P'Din,

right? I know! It's because of Miss Kaew!"

"Between P'Din and me, we've already moved past that jealousy phase,
Moddaeng. I'm not jealous, I'm not resentful. I just made a
decision that's best for everyone, my father, P'Din, Kaew. Everyone has
done so much for me. Now that I've received so much, I want to do
something for others too."

Let me act like an adult, making decisions based on reason rather than
emotion. Like this decision to move my father to Bangkok. Not
only will it give him better treatment, but it will also give P'Din the
opportunity to stay by Kaew's side until she fully recovers, as
she wanted. Each of us has a role to play. And when this is all over,
we can talk about the two of us.

About whether we want to stay together or end this relationship that

started with a fake marriage.

"Oh! Miss Rose, Moddaeng, where are you going? Why do you have so
much luggage?"

"I'm going to Bangkok. I'm glad I found you, Lom! Could you take me to
the airport?"

"What is Miss Rose going to do there? How many days does

she intend to stay?"

Page 368 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"I don't have a return date, Lom."

"What?! Have you told P'Din about this yet?"

"Not yet. I haven't had the opportunity. I decided to transfer
my father to a hospital in Bangkok. The doctor
recommended it because the rehabilitation technology and
equipment there are more advanced than here."
"..."

Wayo was completely shocked, not knowing what to

say. So she quickly picked up her cell phone to call her
cousin. How could P’Din miss something so important
and let her know first? But before she could send the urgent
message, Tippapha stopped her, causing her to hesitate and
not have the courage to call or send any notice.

"Don't tell P'Din anything, please. I'd rather you tell her
later."

"N'Rose!"

"P'Din?"

"Sorry to interrupt, but I at least wanted my sister-in-law to talk

to P'Din before heading to Bangkok."

Tippapha was completely surprised to see that P'Din

managed to get to the airport on time, before her
departure for Bangkok. She didn't even know when Wayo
had broken the news, and the policewoman still rushed to take him

Page 369 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Moddaeng walked away, making way for her and P'Din to talk alone.

"Why didn't you tell me, N'Rose? About your father's transfer
to Bangkok? This is something so
important, and I only found out about it now from Lom!"

"I tried to tell you, P'Din, but you've been so busy lately... I actually wanted
to talk to you before I decided, but then again, I'm already an adult enough
to make that decision on my own."

"Then, I'll go to Bangkok as soon as I sort things out here."

"P'Din, you better stay and take care of everything here, the case, the
Saenrak farm, and Kaew."

"N'Rose! But about Kaew, I can explain!"

"You've explained enough, P'Din. I understand everything. And I

understand it in a way that I won't be childish or stubbornly selfish
anymore."

Kasama heard the response from the woman he loved without

being able to hide his surprise at the change.
Tippapha now spoke with maturity and rationality, like someone who
had grown up. Her face and tone of voice no longer showed jealousy or
anger, something that before made her give in and try to please her.

"Now, each of us has responsibilities to fulfill.

I want to focus on taking care of my father, as I always planned.
And you, P'Din, should stay here and

Page 370 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

take care of Kaew until she fully recovers.

We are just separating temporarily, not forever."

"N'Rose, you're going back to Chiang Rai, aren't you?"

"Yes, I will go back. I don't know how long my father will need
for rehabilitation, but I will definitely go back to Chomchan Farm."

"I'll wait. I'll wait until you come back."

"While we're apart, I want you to reflect on everything that happened.

I'll use this time to reflect too. About everything between the two of us. P'Din,
try asking yourself..."

Reflect on whether what we call love is strong and solid enough to

be something unshakable. Or if what we feel for each other was just a
passing enchantment, created by proximity and circumstances that
forced us to depend on and protect each other.

Did our relationship arise from true and deep feelings? Or was it just an
illusion that enveloped us so much that we couldn't distinguish it from
reality?

"About that, I don't need time to think. I'm sure the person I love is you,
N'Rose."

"You don't need to answer now. Take some time for yourself, reflect deeply
and find out who is really in your heart."

"If, in the end, P'Din is still sure it's me..."

Kasama watched as Tippapha took the diamond ring off the ring
finger of her left hand and placed it on her hand, with a slight smile. It was
not a

Page 371 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

a gesture of rupture or a definitive farewell, but rather a silent question, an

invitation for time to bring a clearer and truer answer.

Clearer than any "I love you" they had ever exchanged...

Rose was returning the heart she had received from P'Din in a way that
had never seemed completely fair.
As if she had achieved something unbalanced, for P'Din
had been forced to accept a forged marriage. Now, she wanted
Din to have the chance to choose for herself. And if in the end, Din's
answer was no longer her, then she would accept it without any
resistance and make way for the true owner of her heart.

"If, when we meet again, P'Din is still certain... then bring this ring
back to me."

Chapter 19

The past or any other day, is still you.

“Thank you for everything, P'Din.”

“I hope you get lucky and can start your life over.”

“I apologize on Rose’s behalf as well. I’m so sorry for everything I’ve

done and I’m ashamed, so much so that I don’t

Page 373 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

I can handle it. And I really appreciate you and Rose not holding me
responsible for everything.”

“Live your life happily from now on. If you need anything or if there is any
problem in Chiang Mai, you can let me know.”

“Thank you very much, P'Din. The gratitude I have for you and my father will
be something I will never forget.”

Kasama bowed, not wanting an older person to do the same. She

felt that what she had done to help was a great favor, one that was
impossible to repay in full. She wanted to do her best to return all the
help she had received from Kaew, who had saved her life and the
life of the person she loved. That way, between the two of them, as old
friends, there would be nothing pending between them.

It was like when she helped Kaew get transferred to another hospital in
Chiang Mai, as per the father and daughter’s wishes. Uncle Kla told her
that, as he was getting older, he wanted to rest after working all his life.
Kaew, when he recovered, would start a small business in Chiang
Mai. Kasama agreed to this, thinking it was the best solution for everyone
involved.

At least, the things that Kaew had done wrong, even though she had forgiven
him, could not make Tippapha suffer emotionally by letting Kaew return
to be her helper by her side. However, before she could resolve everything
as per her wish to get closure quickly after the Mahattanakorn incident,
she had not yet sent Kaew back to her hometown with Uncle
Kla. The person she loved had decided to part ways and go far away from
her life.

Page 374 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

It had been exactly a week since her loved one had transferred Mr.
Thipakorn to Bangkok for treatment. And the two of them had lost
touch, as she did not dare to send messages or call to ask, as her wife
had asked for some time to be apart and reflect on everything.

She had promised the person she loved that she would stop taking care
of N'Rose as soon as Din asked her to do so, and that she would let her
go if that was Din's wish.

Now, as much as she wanted to keep it...

She had to let her go, respecting her decision.

“Goodbye, Kaew.”

“Goodbye, P'Din.”

The friendship of almost fifteen years between us has come to an end.

And now, we both go our separate ways.

Although parting doesn't mean we'll never meet again, if in the future we
happen to meet again, Kasama hopes that she and her old friend can smile
at each other with open hearts. And from then on, they each went their
separate ways without ever crossing paths again.

"I really have no will to live, as P'Lom told me."

"Fire! How did you get here? You didn't tell me before."

Page 375 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"I wanted to see what the situation is like for those who were
abandoned by their wives. I heard that Rose left P'Din."

"Say things that touch the heart. If you see someone down, it
doesn't hurt to help."
"Hey, P'Nam! Fire has a motto that if they see someone down,
they'll help them right away, why wait?"
But unfortunately, not even the confusion and excitement of
the younger people who were on the farm with everyone
gathered together now managed to divert Kasama's attention.
It seems that the owner of the farm lost her spirit since the day
she was left by her beloved.

Now, she managed to solve all the cases and close Kaew's situation,
finishing everything in less than two weeks. But, after everything
calmed down and the culprits were punished according to the law, the
person she loved the most and was the most important in her life was no
longer by her side...

"Sorry, Fire. You can curse me all you want, it's my fault with
N'Rose. I admit my mistake with all my heart."
"..."

Atjima watched his older brother who didn't say anything,

nor disagree, as he usually did. While Wayo seemed resigned to
Kasama's situation. Apo just shook his head with regret at the
situation and expressed his opinion, which everyone
there probably shared.

"This is hard to deal with, P'Din."

Page 376 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"You must be missing P'Din a lot, huh, N'Rose? Ever since you
went to Bangkok, Moddaeng hasn't seen you this excited or wanting to
go out anywhere."

"Do you miss Din?"

"Yes, because N'Rose and P'Din love each other very much. When they
have to be apart, of course they will miss her."

"Moddaeng, tell me, what happened between you two while I was
unconscious?"

Mr. Thipakorn was attentive to the stories told by those close to

Tippapha. Moddaeng, in his easygoing manner, told everything without
hesitation. Although some parts were exaggerated, as a father, he
could distinguish what was real and cared about his daughter’s
feelings.

"So, Dad, if you want to know more, you can ask Moddaeng."

"I've said more than I needed to, already."

"Ah, right, so about N'Rose and P'Din, whatever to tell, Moddaeng

will give all the details."

"Enough, please help me take it to N'Rose."

The landlord gave an order and asked Moddaeng to stop talking, before
driving into the garden in front of the house, which had a small flower bed.
This house was the only one in the village that was not very large,
and Tippapha said he had rented it for easy access to the hospital,
which was very close by, with the intention of staying there until his
father recovered.

"Daddy, what are you doing out here?"

"Staying indoors all the time makes me bored, I'm tired."

"But Dad isn't completely recovered yet, is he? Staying out in the sun and
wind for too long can make you sick."

"I want to talk to Rose."

Tippapha exchanged glances with her father, who looked at her fondly,
before Moddaeng made way for her to speak to her father in private, then
left to do the housework. Tippapha then stopped being lost in her thoughts
and sat down in the rocking chair next to her father's car.

"What does Daddy want to talk about?"

"About Din."

If it was about P'Din, she would rather not talk about it now, as she still
felt confused and was not ready to discuss her. She did not want to talk
about P'Din and feel even more distressed, especially while she could not
deal with her own feelings.

She thought that distance was the best solution for both of them at
this moment, but this past week, although it was a short time compared to
the two or three months they had lived together, just seven days without P'Din
by her side was too painful and lonely. She still felt anxious, wondering if
P'Din was okay, how she was living without her, if she was eating properly,
getting enough rest, or if she was happy.

She wanted to know many things, many questions, but perhaps she
didn’t have the courage to take the initiative to contact him, even though
she was the one who decided to distance herself. However, if she were honest
with herself, she secretly hoped that even though they were physically far
apart, their hearts didn’t have to be far apart either. So, she
waited every day for P’Din to reach out to her, asking how she was
doing or updating her on his daily routine. Even though her phone had been
silent and had no notifications for the entire past week, she still harbored this
hope.

"Does Rose have any problems with Din? Was there a fight or
something that affected the two of you?"

"No, Dad. Rose and P'Din didn't fight."

"Is Rose lying to her father or lying to herself?"

"No, Dad. I'm not lying. Rose and P'Din didn't fight."

Because if they had fought, their relationship would have broken

down, and they would have separated with resentment, like couples who
have serious problems and can no longer meet.

But in her and P'Din's case, it wasn't like that. They didn't fight, they
just needed some time to step back and reflect on everything that had
happened. Whether it was the fake marriage, the hardship she had faced
and needed to be protected by someone like P'Din, or the abuse and
persecution of the Mahattanakorn, the situation of being pressured all the
time caused feelings between them to arise intensely and quickly.

It was like comparing love to a battle on the battlefield. When everything

calms down and the war ends, that's when we need to stop and
reflect clearly on our feelings, asking ourselves if everything that
happened can really be called love.

"So why did you move to Bangkok? Being so far away will make you
more tired."

"I'm an adult now, Dad. I want to prove to you and P'Din that I'm capable of
taking care of myself and taking care of you too."

"I know that you are already an adult, Rose, from the many things you had
to face while I was unable to know and protect you. And I believe that
P'Din also knows that my daughter has grown up and become a grown
woman."

"Because everything ended well, Father. The contract that P'Din made
with you has also been fulfilled. In the past, I caused P'Din a lot of trouble
and hindered him in many ways. P'Din had to go through hardships,
suffer, make enemies, and be threatened because of me. Now, I want to
step aside and not be a problem for him anymore."

"Do you love P'Din?"

The owner of the beautiful face nodded in response to her father, not
hesitating to share her feelings, because deep down, her heart was clear: it
was always P'Din and it will always be only her.

Even though she wasn't sure if P'Din's heart was still firmly with her,
perhaps due to the stronger bond with Madam Kaew, someone who
had been by her side for longer, she would accept the truth and defeat if her
answer changed.

"I love P'Din."

“P'Din! How did you get here?”

“Open the door for me, Moddaeng. I came to see Mr.

Thipakorn.”

If she came to see Mr. Thipakorn like she said, why did P'Din bring a
rose? Even though P'Din gave a roundabout answer, Moddaeng,
as a number one fan, was already excited, because she was sure that
she would come to settle things and reconcile with Rose.

Moddaeng was betting on it!

“This way, please, P'Din. Mr. Thipakorn is watching TV in the living room.”

“What about Rose?”

“Rose went out to buy something at the supermarket. She should be back
soon, because it’s been a while. Are you going to wait to see Rose too?”

“Of course, I traveled from Chiang Rai to see Rose.”

In fact, Mr. Thipakorn had contacted her directly yesterday and said
that he had something urgent to discuss. She was very happy to see that
Mr. Thipakorn was available to discuss this with her.
Thipakorn was recovering so quickly and could now speak clearly,
although he still had difficulty walking and maintaining balance after the
brain surgery.
But the doctors said the treatment was going well, and soon he would
recover and be able to return to Chomchan Farm.

“Sir, P'Din is here to see you.”

“Are you here yet, P'Din? You arrived faster than I expected.”

“Hello, Mr. Thipakorn.”

“Wait a minute, ma’am. I have something important to talk to you about.”

“What is the urgent matter Mr. Thipakorn wants to discuss with P’Din? Does
it have to do with Rose? P’Din is worried, so she drove all the
way from Chiang Rai since last night.”

The old man looked at Kasama with an expression that showed he

understood her anxiety and concern for her daughter. But he also had
no idea that, after a few hours of separation, someone so far away
would be willing to drive all the way to Bangkok to meet him the next day.

“I have a question for P'Din about Rose. Just one question.”

“You may ask, sir.”

“P'Din, do you love Rose?”

“Yes, I love Rose very much.”

It seems like their answers weren't that different, right?

The yellow Jeep with the Chiang Rai registration plate...

Tippapha looked at the familiar-looking car parked in front of

her house in the village. She was certain when she recognized the registration
plate and saw the province clearly marked on the sign. However,
since she was already passing the house, she was unable to turn around
and park somewhere else in time. She had to reverse and park inside
the house. Moddaeng then ran over to open the door for her.

"You took a long time to come back today, Rose. P'Din has been waiting for
a while now."

To be honest, if she had known that P'Din was going to visit her father, she
would have delayed returning home even longer, or she would have waited
until P'Din got tired of waiting and returned to the countryside in Chiang
Rai. That way, she wouldn't have to meet Din while she wasn't ready
yet.

Finding each other wasn't the problem...

But his heart was not ready!

"Rose."

"P'Din."

"P'Din brought these thornless roses from the garden next to the
house."

Kasama held out the thornless roses to Rose's pretty face, who
seemed hesitant and still didn't want to take the flowers she had brought
from Chiang Rai to Bangkok, a journey of more than ten hours.
But finally, the person she loved accepted the gift, even without

Page 383 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

saying nothing more, as was his custom, just whispering a thank

you. This made her heart warm and she gained a little courage.

"Thanks."

"While Rose was gone, I spent every day tending the rose garden. Every
flower is blooming, not one of them has wilted."

"Does P'Din have that much free time?"

"Yes, now I have plenty of time. After solving the case, I organized the
pending work, so now I have much more free time."

"Having free time is good, so P'Din can rest."

Although she tried to speak simply so as not to sound over the top,
she didn't want Din to think she was expressing herself too much since
their status was still up in the air. As she had said before, she didn't want to
come across as possessive or give the impression that she was putting
herself in the role of owner, because if in the end she wasn't the only one,
the one who would get hurt the most would be herself.

"P'Din sorted everything out with Kaew."

"And why are you telling me this, P'Din? What happened between
you and Kaew is not something I need to know, there is no need to tell me
this."

"I just wanted to let you know, Rose, that Kaew and Uncle Kla are no longer
at Saenrak Farm. They have left and moved back to Chiang Mai to
live there permanently."

Page 384 of 413

Tippapha was silent, trying to think of what she should say to what she had
just heard. But in the end, she chose to remain silent as she could not find
the right words. Her eyes then fixed on the wedding ring that was still
on Kasama’s finger, unlike her, who had given it back to Din before coming
to Bangkok.

Why does P'Din still wear the wedding ring, even though the
fake wedding plan is already over?

"From now on, every Friday I will drive from Chiang Rai to Bangkok. I will
arrive at Rose's house on Saturday morning, ask to stay for a night,
and on Sunday afternoon I will return to Chiang Rai. This will
continue until Rose and Mr. Thip return to the farm."

"Why would P'Din do this? Driving that far can't be fun."

"I don't think it's fun either, but I want you to see how dedicated I am and
how hard I'm trying. I want you to see that I'm serious about our
relationship. If you don't believe me, then you can see by my consistency
from now on."

"..."

"From now on, I'll tell you I miss you every Friday."

"This weekend, Friday, is living up to its name, isn't it?"

"What, Moddaeng?"

Page 385 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"It's just that tomorrow is Saturday, which means that Lady Rose won't
be alone because P'Din will come to visit her."

"That's nonsense!"

Tippapha replied, cutting off the conversation and deliberately dodging

Moddaeng's teasing comment, who had a gift for playfulness, as if she was
hired by P'Din to tease and mess with her whenever she got the chance.
Even though they were so far apart, it seemed like she could still
muster the strength to mess with her feelings.

It had been more than a month since she decided to bring her father
for treatment at the hospital in Bangkok.
After the first week, in which P'Din made a visit to meet in person instead
of phone conversations or messages, for the next five weeks, she
kept her word and continued to visit them without fail.

once.

And she would still bring roses from her orchard, until, on the last time,
she ended up complaining to P'Din by accident, fearing that, when she
returned to the farm, all her beautiful roses would be cut by her, as P'Din was
so dedicated to taking them as gifts.

"Tomorrow, where are we going for our date? Have you chosen yet,
Rose?"

"It's not a date, we're just going to have dinner, watch a movie, pray or
do some shopping."

"Well, everything you said, Rose, is exactly what a date means."

Going out on a date is something for couples who are just

getting to know each other, but for her and P'Din, who were still in the

Page 386 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

In the process of reviewing her feelings, it was nothing more than a

simple outing, not a date like Moddaeng was trying to make it out
to be. But regardless of the reasons, she felt good about spending
time with Din, something she had never done before.

It seemed like the two of them had been forced to pretend to

deceive influential people through a fake marriage, without being
able to build a relationship from the little things. Because at the time,
nothing was going their way, and the circumstances around them
were not safe. But after everything ended well, this time for reflection
and not having to rush the words “I love you” allowed them to have the
chance to learn and experience aspects of each other that they had
never seen before.

Start from scratch...

Now, starting from one, together they reach

hundred.

"P'Din."

"What it was?"

"Next Friday, you don't need to come to Bangkok, okay?"

"Why not?"

"There's no reason, no. Rose said not to come, so you don't have to
come. That's all." Kasama looked at her loved one with a dejected
expression, as if she was very disappointed. After being prevented
from coming to Bangkok next week, she thought about how, all the
time,

Page 387 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Over time, she had shown herself to be constant, proving her love for
Rose uninterruptedly, without ever failing.

She knew she had made a lot of mistakes. After reflecting on this
during the first week she was separated from Tippapha, she realized
that she had prioritized things poorly and had made the person she loved
most feel neglected and uncared for.

At that moment, she was more concerned about Kaew’s life than anything
else, because she believed that Kaew had sacrificed himself to protect
her and the person she loved. So she prayed for Kaew’s safety and
wanted to repay him for his sacrifice. So she went to the hospital every
day and arranged for Kaew to be transferred to Chiang Mai for treatment,
as well as quickly resolved the legal and work issues that arose after she
lost a talented assistant.

She thought Tippapha would understand and wait for her. But as she
reflected on her own perspective and listened to the advice of Apo,
Wayo, and Atjima, she realized that if she were the one feeling
neglected, no matter the good reasons behind it, the feelings she had lost
would be hard to recover. When she looked at things from Tippapha’s
point of view, she began to understand her feelings better and wanted to
make things right to make sure she knew that her heart had never
changed.

"I'm very sorry."

"Why is P'Din apologizing?"

"P'Din did something wrong, he must have made a mistake again, that's
why Rose doesn't want P'Din to come."

"P'Din, listen to Rose first..."

Page 388 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"I can't live in Chiang Rai without Rose."

In the end, no matter how hard she tried to maintain a firm and serious
posture, P'Din's cuteness and cute manner at this moment, as if he
was acting childishly, robbed even her of the right to behave like an
adult. This made Tippapha unable to hold back her laughter and looked
lovingly at the person she loved and would always love, with a
loving gaze.

"The reason I won't let you come is because I'm afraid you'll come and
end up getting hurt."

"Like this?!"

"The doctor allowed my father to return to Chiang Rai.

In three days, I'm taking my father back to

farm. If P'Din comes next week, there may be

sure you won't find anyone, except an empty house." "Are you saying

you're really going back to Chiang Rai?"

"Yes, because my home is in Chiang Rai. If I don't go back, where

else would I go?"

"So you'll go back to Saenrak Farm with me, right?"

Kasama asked with renewed hope, like someone who had found a new
reason to feel hopeful. He then, without asking permission, reached
out and held Tippapha's soft hand, showing his happiness in an unrestrained
way, while Tippapha just smiled back and slowly withdrew his hand with
a small gesture of resistance, as if he were

Page 389 of 413

guarding, realizing that his wife was now not as easy to please
and accomodate as before.

"Rose will go back to Chomchan Farm, of course, my home is

there."

"Returning to Chiang Rai this time, that means Rose agrees to go back
to being the same as before with P'Din, right?"

"Whose side are you on? I'm not sure anymore."

Tippapha pretended to be serious, crossing her arms and

staring at Moddaeng, as if she wanted her to understand the
seriousness of the moment.
During the entire time she was away from P'Din, not only her
father, but Moddaeng was also the main person
responsible for insisting that she reconcile with Din, always
suggesting that she get closer to P'Din, something that Tippapha
still did not fully understand.

"When people love each other, why waste time with long fights?
That only takes away the sweetness of the relationship."

"But P'Din still hasn't told me he loves me."

"What did you say, Rose?"

"Nothing, it's nothing. I'll take a look at the flower garden.

I don't know how it is now."

The owner of the pretty face abruptly cut off the conversation,
after writing down her own feelings and sharing them alone,
without giving Moddaeng a chance to know what she really
thought. For more than a month, P'Din was

Page 390 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

clear and made her feel like she was first in his life, but Din still didn't
give her the answer she was looking for before deciding to take a break
from the relationship. Although their time apart wasn't as serious as she
initially wanted, P'Din still made a point of traveling to see her every week,
just to tell her he missed her.

But other than the words "I miss you", P'Din did not answer the
question she still had pending.

Is Din sure deep down that the answer is that she hasn't changed...

"Miss Rose, something's happened."

"Mr. Yos, what happened?"

"Someone has trespassed on our land, the Chomchan farm. I

came here to warn you first, and then I will tell your father."

"You don't have to tell my father. I'll sort it out myself.

Mr. Yos, go quickly."

The farm owner’s daughter, who was admiring the rose garden she
finally had time to look at, was interrupted in her appreciation when
the head worker, Mr. Yos, rushed in with some important news. Tippapha
decided that she would not tell her father about it and would try to solve it
herself. As she said, she wanted to grow up, not depend on anyone and
solve problems herself.

"The person who broke into the property is heading that way, Miss
Rose."

"..."

If Chomchan Farm had been raided by the tycoons before, now

the flower farm was probably being attacked by someone connected to
Watinwanich, changing something. Even without needing to be told,
she knew who it was. It made her stop, lost in thought, as if she had been
transported back in time.

There were colorful petals scattered across the ground, creating a trail for
her to follow, like a symbol to guide her, something that reminded her of
how she used to play with P'Din when they were children. Back then,
they would play treasure hunt. P'Din would hide his favorite teddy bear and
she had to find it. When she was little, she was a little shy and didn't
like playing hide and seek, so the teddy bear was the only one she hid.

But the owner of the farm, no matter if it was when she was still a child
or now as an adult, P'Din was always the person who took care of her and
cared about her. Like how she would often help her find important things
by creating arrows from flower petals or leaves and twigs that she found
all over the field.

Din guided her to find her favorite teddy bear...

And then, he guided Rose to the hidden gifts...

"P'Din, where are you?"

Tippapha called out to her, knowing that she was probably hiding
somewhere nearby. As she continued to follow the trail of petals, she
thought that the path seemed more complicated and distant than it
had in her childhood.

Page 392 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

Or maybe P'Din was just having fun getting back at her for being so hard to
reach, like Moddaeng said.

"There's no point in hiding, Rose knows this is all P'Din's doing."

She looked around, having reached the end of the trail of petals, but
still without finding the person she was looking for, nor the hidden gift. At the
end of the path, there were only rose petals arranged in the shape of a
heart, leaving that place empty. It was as if only she was there,
waiting for the surprise that the master of the plan had not yet revealed.

"Or do you want me to cry first so you can show up, P'Din, like when I was
a kid, when you were always the first one to come and comfort me
when I was sulking?"

"No need to cry, because from now on I won't make you shed any more
tears."

Finally, Kasama appeared, after hearing the words that connected with our
relationship in the past, while there was still a surprise that had not
been revealed, something that the head of the Saenrak farm had hidden
behind her.

"What are you doing, P'Din? Are you messing with Rose? We're grown
up, you know."

"I just wanted to reminisce. Do you remember how important this place
is to us?"

"It's the place where we took our pre-wedding photos, isn't it?"

"Yes, but try going back in time a little further."

Page 393 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"If it's further back in time... this is where Rose and P'Din first met."

"Yes, this is where we first met. I came to the farm with your father and
found a little girl sitting in the gazebo crying because she had soiled
her pretty dress. You remember that, don't you?"

"To tell the truth, I've already forgotten a bit, I was so young back then. But,
if P'Din says I was crying, then yes, that's me." "So our feelings aren't just
from two months, but from twenty years."

The owner of the beautiful face raised an eyebrow, curious, and looked into
her wife's eyes, who made her feel something she didn't expect with her
words. Then, P'Din explained more, with a soft voice and the warmest
smile in the world.

"Our twenty-year bond, compared to the love of just a few months, may be
inferior. But let me prove to you, N'Rose, that even twenty years from
now, or more, the only answer in my heart will always be you, and that will
never change."

Tippapha stared at the latest surprise P'Din had pulled out from the hidden
place behind her: a teddy bear, her most cherished treasure from
the past, now restored, with neatly stitched scars, and still wearing a
wedding dress that P'Din had secretly sewn for her, no one knew when.

The old teddy bear had transformed into the elegant teddy bear,
with a large diamond ring placed like a necklace.

Page 394 of 413

"N'Rose, shall we get married?"

"..."

"Let us love each other with understanding, love her in the best way
possible, more than before, and live together for many, many years."

If Kasama was really proposing, it would be the most romantic and clear
way in the world.

No woman in the world would want to refuse this request.

Chapter 20

The rose that is by Kasama's side, eternally.

"Daddy said that when you grow up, N'Rose, you will be P'Din's bride."

Page 395 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"What is a bride, P'Wasu?"

"N'Rose is the person who has to marry me. I'm the groom."

"P'Wasu is the groom, N'Rose is the bride, and P'Din, what is she?"

Tippapha asked her friend with the innocence of a child, because if

when she grew up she was to be the bride and marry P'Wasu, the groom,
then what would P'Din be when she became an adult?

"Let P'Din be a dog. A silly dog."

"No, P'Din is not a dog."

P'Wasu would always make fun of P'Din. He liked to tease her, but P'Din
would always stay quiet, never arguing or defending herself when she
was provoked. Like that time, when P'Wasu brought her friends, the
children of the farm workers, and they all laughed at P'Din.

"N'Rose, don't mess with P'Din. Come play bride and groom with me."

"Uhh, N'Rose is in pain, I'm going to tell daddy!"

Because of the force with which P’Wasu pulled her, N’Rose didn’t want to
play bride, but she was forced to. Furthermore, she was pulled in a
way that caused her to stumble and fall. The scream of pain echoed
throughout the Chomchan farm, and her parents would
probably come soon to help her scold P’Wasu.

"P'Wasu, don't force N'Rose, she's hurt!"

"Look, what do you have to do with this, you sick dog. Hahaha, P'Din
is a dog, how disgusting."

Page 396 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

With a light push, P'Wasu made P'Din fall to the ground next to N'Rose.
P'Din seemed weaker than Rose's "fiancé", but Tippapha remembered that
whenever she needed help, P'Din would help her in her own way.
There was never a time when she abandoned her or ran for her life, even
though she knew she would be the target of P'Wasu's taunts.

When the sound of the adults on the farm began to approach, P'Wasu
ran away from the farm with his friends.

"N'Rose, what happened?"

"P'Din is bleeding."

"Don't worry, it's just a little bruise. Let's go home, I'll take you."

"N'Rose can't get up."

"Hold my hand."

Holding P'Din's little hand...

Although she seemed insecure and unstable, N'Rose felt an inexplicable

sense of warmth and security whenever she held P'Din's hand.

And Kasama's hand, which she loves with all her heart, today...

The same hand she is holding, joining hands and walking together, in our
second marriage, which was

Page 397 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

organized in a simple and intimate way at the Chomchan farm,

only with the closest families, without great ostentation, unlike the fake
wedding we had held before, which was part of the plan to deceive the
rich, as suggested by Wayo, the mastermind behind the plan.

But today's wedding was planned with complete sincerity and

love between her and P'Din, and she wanted to repeat it so that her father
could be a part of this important moment in his beloved daughter's
life. She wanted her father to know that he had not made a mistake in
choosing the best for her, as he always did.

Just as her father did not follow through on his promise to her grandfather
that she should marry a rich man, because he knew deep down how
dubious the family's history was. But her father allowed her to marry
Watinwanich because that was what she truly wanted.

Kasama Watinwanich...

A person who may seem difficult to approach, reserved, with a very

personal world of her own, loving solitude or appearing ordinary to others,
but to her, P'Din is the most special and perfect person. She is warm,
kind, delicate, caring. P'Din has never changed her care, since the times
we grew up together. She is a firm, strong, gentle, but not weak
Kasama. She wanted to entrust her life to her, so that they could take care
of each other.

As P'Din's bride, N'Rose...

"What are you thinking?"

"N'Rose was thinking about when we were kids."

"Can you tell me too?"

Page 398 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"Of course. Between N'Rose and P'Din, there are no secrets."

Tippapha smiled broadly at her beloved, who was looking at her

with a look of love. Even without having to say the words “I love you”,
as happened in the last two months, when we chose to stay apart
and learn about each other from different perspectives. Starting from
scratch again, little by little, it made our love become stronger than
before, making us realize how much we love and need each other.

Now, she had no more doubts about the love P'Din gave her, and

I believed that she also thought the same way about the love she gave him.

"N'Rose is remembering the day she was forced by Wasu to be the

bride.

At that time, Wasu mistreated P'Din because he wanted to be the groom."

"P'Din remembers, yes. That day, N'Rose cried a lot."

"When she was a child, N'Rose used to throw tantrums all the time,
crying in every situation."

"Yes, I remember. At that time, I asked Auntie Chan a lot how to make
N'Rose stop crying."

"Now it makes sense, P'Din tried everything, right? N'Rose remembers

that P'Din would always comfort her, give her candy or make funny faces to
make N'Rose stop crying. P'Din has always been devoted to N'Rose, both
when we were kids, and now. Did you know?"

Page 399 of 413

Machine Translated by Google

"The dedication I have for N'Rose will never change, forever. I promise."

Kasama made this promise firmly, as if it were an oath of love to the

person she was sure she would love until her last breath.

To get to today's wedding, we both went through a lot together. We

overcame many tests and, in the end, we didn't choose to separate,
but rather to hold on tighter and move forward together, facing obstacles
and tests that may arise from now on.

But she believed that love would help us overcome all difficulties
together.

"I'm touched, because it was thanks to the wind that P'Din had this day."

"Hurry up and take credit yourself, Lom."

"Or are you going to argue? If I hadn't come up with the fake marriage plan,
P'Din and you, N'Rose, wouldn't have had the chance to fall in love and get
married for real this round."

Wayo wasn’t saying this to brag, he was just being honest. The
outcome was clear to everyone, and there was no way he was going to let
Apo or Atjima take the credit. Lieutenant Wayo had not only solved the
criminals’ cases, he had also helped arrange the romance. Having done
so many good deeds, he deserved something in return. May the
world bring him a premium-quality partner as a reward!

"How lazy to discuss! So, next time will be Lom's wedding?

When you go, let me know."

"Impossible. In this life, I have yet to find the right person."

"Oh, and who are all these right people you've already met?"

"I just thought they were, but they weren't, so we had to go our own ways."

Atjima shook his head in disapproval at Lieutenant Wayo's typical

response, before looking back at Apo, who was quiet, not showing any
opinion or wanting to join the conversation with the others.

"Then next time should be with Apo."

"That has nothing to do with me, Fai. It's not going to happen."

"It's not always like that, is it? Even P'Din got married first, which no one
expected. I thought it would be Lom, because you always seem so obsessed
with love."

"Fai! That's a compliment, right..., But Lom will pass the time to you. When it
comes to love, Lom is in no rush until he finds the right person. Age
matters, and you, Apo, are almost thirty. How about thinking a little about
love and not just at work?"

"Well, I'm interested in love too."

"Seriously, Apo? What do you mean? Update me, quick!"

"Well, Valentine's Day is coming up, so I'm thinking of a promotion to

attract customers to the

Page 401 of 413

resort and the hotel, and I am also looking at expansion options

for the resort into a new branch..."

About love, Apo's thought was...

"Ah, okay, Apo. Come on, Fai, let Apo marry work, okay!"

"From now on, Dad asks that you leave N'Rose in your care, P'Din. I
trust you, as I have shown on previous occasions. And N'Rose needs to
take care of you too. May you love each other with understanding. If there
are problems, talk about them. Also, my daughter is no longer a
child, so please do not throw tantrums and do not give P'Din a
headache. And P'Din, do not give in to everything she wants. If N'Rose
does something you do not like, please teach her. N'Rose, if something
bothers you, talk to him directly. Understanding will make your love last."

"Thank you, Dad."

Kasama and Tippapha bowed to greet N'Rose's father, Thipakorn, who

was in charge
of both sides during the royal wedding. After asking Thipakorn's
permission and receiving his approval, Kasama dedicated herself to
proving her love so that her wife would believe it. Until the day Tippapha
finally decided to marry her in a royal ceremony.

"N'Rose, can I put the ring on you?"

Tippapha held out his hand for P'Din to place the diamond ring on his
left ring finger, as if it had happened before.

But this time, she felt more emotional than the first time, perhaps because it
was a real ceremony, done with sincere feelings. Her heart was overflowing
with happiness and she felt touched by every moment.

"P'Din, extend your hand to N'Rose as well."

P'Din held out his hand affectionately, as always. Although Thipakorn had
warned her not to spoil N'Rose too much, Kasama knew that this was
a difficult task, because pleasing Tippapha had become a joy in her
life. She had spoiled her since childhood, and she would continue to do
so, now and in the future.

"N'Rose, throw the bouquet, please. Moddaeng is ready in front."

The beautiful bride, dressed in a pure white dress that perfectly matched
the women’s suit P’Din had chosen, looked at the small stage, where
Moddaeng was standing tall. She ran to the front, spread her arms, and
prepared to catch the bouquet of roses. She winked and made a
gesture, as if she was using her connection with her to make N’Rose
achieve her own dream of marrying P’Din. “Is Moddaeng going to be
the next one to get married?”

"Yes, N'Rose, Moddaeng and P'Tae are getting to know

each other."

"Tae? Uncle Tam's son?"

Page 403 of 413

"Yes, P'Din, it was P'Tae who approached Moddaeng first."

Kasama laughed with his beautiful wife after Moddaeng pulled

off an amazing surprise at our wedding by revealing that
she was dating Tae, the son of the new team leader, Uncle
Tam, who replaced the resigning Uncle Kla. Neither N'Rose nor
I knew they were dating, or when or how they started getting
involved. Maybe they took advantage of the chaos to
plant their little seed of love.

"She's quite the mischievous one, that Moddaeng."

Tippapha commented playfully before turning away to ensure

the bouquet ceremony was fair.
In addition to Moddaeng, Wayo had also brought Atjima to
wait and join in the anticipation. Either way, one of the three
would be lucky enough to catch the bouquet and perhaps find
love or become the next bride.

"I'm going to play now! One, two, three!"

"Ah! P'Din, why did you move your hand away? Moddaeng
was almost catching it!"
The bouquet of roses, which Moddaeng was about to
catch, was deflected by P'Din's hand and ended up falling into
Apo's lap, who was sitting in a work conversation, not
paying attention to what was happening.
"Where did this flower come from?"

"Uncle, I congratulate you in advance."

Kasama quickly joked, while Apo still had a confused expression,

not quite understanding what was happening. She then
turned to look with

Page 404 of 413

affectionately looked his wife, Tippapha, in the eyes, with a look full of
meaning, as they had come to the end of their royal marriage.

"P'Din, did you forget something?"

"What did I forget?"

"Humf, it always has to be N'Rose who opens everything first."

The beautiful bride made a cute little “tantrum” face that was clearly
just a joke, looking more adorable than actually angry. Kasama was still
trying to be a little shy and not tease her too much, but it was impossible
not to smile when her impatient wife came over and kissed her
softly on the lips, as if she had become braver, going from a peck on the
cheek to a full-on kiss.

"I just wanted N'Rose to open first. Then I'll close it for you."

Kasama's sweet kiss seemed to no longer care about the looks or the
giggles of others. It was as if the entire world didn't exist, only the two
of them existed, completely immersed in the moment. Kasama
didn't want to stop and, if N'Rose hadn't pushed her away with a light blow
to the shoulder, she would have continued, shamelessly with her blushing
face.

"P'Din! You're overdoing it!"

"It was just a joke, the real thing is what comes after that."

"..."

Why do P'Din's mischievous words make me so nervous now?

Is she talking about what is yet to come?

Is she referring to what she promised last night?

Screaming! I don't know what to think anymore!

As soon as the door to the bridal chamber was closed, signaling

that the ceremony was successful, the newlywed couple threw
themselves into each other's arms, not wanting to leave any space
or distance between them. It seemed that they were ready to continue
the unfinished story, with all the reasons and circumstances that had
kept them apart until then.

But now, all we did was express our love through our actions...

The same way we always said "I love you" with words!

Our lips met, exchanging words of love and affection, although we wanted
to express that love for much longer. But it was necessary to pause so
that both of us could catch our breath before looking into each other's
eyes, with a look full of love and desire to possess the other in a
passionate moment.

"P'Din."

Page 406 of 413

"Yes?"

"Why such a hurry?"

"I have been patient for a long time."

"So this is what P'Din really is like?"

"Because of you, N'Rose, I can be even more."

The response was not only verbal, but also an action.

P'Din didn't know how much this could melt the heart of the person
receiving this answer. Now, she was being touched by her wife, who
was using her nose and lips to explore her neck and shoulders, while her
back was pressed against the bedroom wall.

They were so excited that they couldn't even get to bed. She, with a
pounding heart and controlling her excitement, pulled P'Din's jacket and
threw it aside.

"You are incredible."

"P'Din, you don't have to play with N'Rose like that."

"And the rest? Aren't you going to take the rest for me?"

If P’Din was trying to challenge N’Rose, she had chosen the wrong
person. There was nothing she wouldn’t do boldly. Even when
Moddaeng provoked her, she always gave the best answer possible.
If P’Din were to challenge her, she would do even more. So, she,
nervous but determined, unbuttoned Din’s shirts one by one, without
giving up.

"What's this? You want to strip me naked and then take everything for
yourself?"

"You're cheeky!"

"Now it's your turn, my love."

Tippapha closed her eyes quickly, unable to look at the perfection of

P'Din, which she had carefully unwrapped with her own hands.

After unbuttoning the last button, she quickly glanced at Din

and then looked away, closing her eyes and trembling slightly, being teased
back by P'Din.

Kasama used both hands to unbutton the back of her wedding dress,
which was tight and full of details that required time and patience to
undo. But on the other side, the other seemed impatient and
worried about the time, so she used her lips to pull the strap of the dress
and easily undid it.

The next moment happened without her realizing it, when her back gently
rested on the soft bed, contrasting with the rush of both of them. Her
body and mind gave in to the reverie of love, guided by the person she
loved. She was in P'Din's arms, feeling as if she was his entire world.

The flower that had blossomed so beautifully had begun from fertile soil.
Now, it was blossoming into its youthful perfection, a sweet and gentle
enchantment, whose fragrance and taste of love enveloped it, making it
unique and eternal.

If the petals of a rose were removed to answer whether love

existed or not, the rose called Tippapha would be different from all
the others.

Because she would only have one answer...

Love.

Love with all of Kasama's life and heart.

“What are you thinking?”

“Rose, can I respond with something other than missing P'Din?”

“No, you have to answer that you miss P'Din first, then you can say
anything else.”

“What a passionate person.”

Tippapha raised her hand and gently pinched P’Din’s nose with a
mischievous smile after she hugged her from behind and popped the
question. She smiled at Din as she glanced over after our wedding
ceremony that had taken place about a week ago. Everything
we had planned before the wedding was proceeding as expected, smoothly
and in an orderly manner.

"P'Din is a very loving wife."

"P'Din, now you can say the word 'wife' with complete certainty, right?"

“I'm telling the truth, you see.”

"Yes, Rose won't argue."

Kasama placed her lips gently on the head of her beloved wife, who was
no longer just a title, and all the care and affection she had for Tippapha
was still as strong as when we were just children, and she did her utmost
to protect her wife.

“I am happy that now Saenrak Farm and Chomchan Farm have

become one.”

Page 409 of 413

“I’m happy too. In the past, we could only meet in the flower garden,
but now we can visit each other freely.”

“So, should we think about changing the name of the farm?”

“Does P'Din have any ideas?”

“Chomchan Farm and Saenrak Farm, if we put the names together, it

would be
Chomrak Farm.”

“That sounds good. But why did you leave Rose’s farm name in front?”

“Because I love Rose more than anything, and I'll do anything

for her.”

“No need to keep saying sweet words, Rose already loves you too much.”

She loved him so much that Rose wanted to reward her beloved, P'Din,
with a soft kiss on her cheek, the place she loved to touch the most.
Soon after, Kasama, who had become the master at pampering,
quickly turned the other side of her face so that Rose could also kiss it
in the same way.

“I never imagined we would reach this day.”

“I also never imagined that I would be lucky enough to love and marry
you, Rose.”

“In all this time, P'Din never liked anyone? Never dated anyone?
How is that possible?”

“Yes, I’ve never liked anyone before, but you, Rose, also told me that
you’ve never dated anyone, didn’t you?”

Page 410 of 413

“Well, I’ve talked to a few people, but I’ve never dated. I’ve never
fallen in love with anyone, and I’ve never had a boyfriend.”

Tippapha pulled away from her wife’s arms, wanting to see her expression
more clearly. When she joked that she had been in a relationship
with someone, P’Din was visibly disappointed. However, when she heard
the truth that she had never dated anyone, Din’s face quickly brightened
again, which made her smile a little at her reaction.

“Are you jealous, P'Din?”

“No, I’m not one to feel jealous like that.”

“I was jealous in the past, but not anymore.

Because I trust in the love you have for me, P'Din.”

“I also trust in the love you have for me, Rose.”

“Thank you for the love you have for me, P'Din. It means a lot to me.”

“And I thank you for being the happiness in my life, which was previously
aimless.”

“Will we thank each other all day, P'Din?”

“We better be thankful every day for the rest of our lives.”

The owner of the beautiful face nodded her head in agreement with her
wife's idea, before the two of us leaned over each other,
hand in hand and side by side, to watch the progress of the "Saenrak"
farm and the "Chomchan" farm now united as one. As we had planned, we
would work together to manage them and make them grow, just like
our love.

“Let’s go home, it’s almost lunch time.”

“The issue of food is really important to P'Din.”

“Food is an important issue for my wife.”

“You take such good care of me. I really didn’t make a mistake
when I loved you. Oh, but actually, you already took care of me
before you loved me, right?”

“Who said I didn’t love you?”

Kasama revealed her secret in a soft voice, as if to divert her wife's attention
to something else, something more interesting than the lunch Aunty Chan
was preparing for them, a lunch they were going to share with Mr.
Thipakorn.

“Does that mean P'Din already loved me even before our fake
marriage?”

“It wouldn't be quite 'love', I think the right term would be 'like'.”

“Ah, so P’Din confessed that he liked me before. I thought I was the one
who fell in love first!”

“And you, when did you start to like me, Rose?”

“Well, when we started living together. After the fake marriage, I

started to like it more and more.”

“So, I already liked you before. When we met after sixteen

years, I was already madly in love.”

“Really? But you seemed so calm back then. You didn’t show anything.”

Page 412 of 413

“I’m not usually good at showing my feelings. And even more so with you,
Rose. When I started to like you, it became even harder to hide.”

In fact, Kasama had always been someone who preferred to

show her affection with actions, not words. Although she was more
expressive now and had someone who loved her deeply, if she
remembered what had happened months ago, neither Tippapha nor
anyone else would probably realize that her heart had already been shaken
since they had met again.

“Or maybe, in fact, I’ve liked you since I was a child. Maybe that’s
why I’ve never looked at anyone else.”

“P’Din, you always have something surprising to tell me. Look, your
ears turned red. But in truth, I was probably already impressed by you
since I was a child, without realizing it. That’s why I never fell in love
with anyone until I met you again. When you came back into my life,
I simply fell in love.”

“Speaking like that, you leave me speechless.”

“Thank you for being the solid ground that helped me

to grow.” This rose promises...

To stay by Kasama's side for all eternity, until the end of time.
