My Dream is to Get My Own House - Chapter 50

Episode 50

Dylan smoothly evaded Ishael’s touch.

Clutching the precious bottle to his chest, he looked at Ishael.

“No, you can’t.”

A giant rabbit that didn’t want to have its carrot stolen.

That’s exactly what it looked like.

“I can definitely feel that the aura of affection has increased.”

“But it’s only been ten seconds since I gave it to you.”

Ishael almost said, “Isn’t that just Dylan’s nature?” but stopped herself.

His hand gently wrapped around her shoulder, causing her heart to skip a beat.

There was no time to avoid it.

“Indeed…”

Dylan nodded slowly as he breathed quietly.

His languid voice reached Ishael’s ears.

“Maybe today is my birthday.”

No, is it really to that extent?

“Is it enchanted with black magic or something?”

It was when Ishael suspiciously glared at the Love Spell Bottle.

A loud voice echoed in their ears.

“Uhh, are you having a conversation while hugging?”

“What’s with this lovely couple?”

“The epitome of a newlywed couple.”

Come to think of it, their affectionate gestures seemed so natural.

Ishael quickly separated herself from Dylan and awkwardly smiled.

“Oh, hello.”

Dylan let out a short grunt.

The two pairs of newlywed couples, who shared the same townhouse, raised their hands and greeted each other.

“Long time no see, huh?”

Ishael tightly closed her eyes after seeing their outfits.

They were showing off their remarkable elegance once again.

“This is driving me crazy. How could they do such a thing?”

They were even wearing matching couple t-shirts.

Their faces were printed right in the middle of the shirts.

“Why are you wearing a couple t-shirts?”

“Isn’t today the long-awaited housewarming day for us?”

Ishael let out a short grunt.

Come to think of it, today was the day.

It was the day the “Newlywed Couple 2nd Week: Housewarming” program was being held.

Ishael let out a deep sigh.

One challenge after another.

On the other hand, the newlywed couples happily sang a little tune.

“Ahh, Ishael and Dylan’s house! I’m really looking forward to it.”

“You can’t beat our home, but haha!”

“Our house is just, well, a house.”

Dylan couldn’t possibly have completely changed the interior in just one day.

Ishael spoke with a slightly uncertain tone, perhaps lacking confidence.

They began to subtly show their disregard.

“Hehe, we’ll definitely win in terms of our house, right?”

“Yes, make sure you win.”

She cheered them on.

Then, awkwardly holding Dylan’s hand, she opened the door to their house.

And there, inside…

The Kashian-Hailey couple dreamed of being the best couple in the world.

Yes, that was definitely the case!

The Dylan-Ishael couple was their formidable rival.

They had already seized the atmosphere with “Baby” and “Face Lunchbox” in the first week’s program.

So, with the desire to win today, they even wore a couple t-shirts.

Ishael looked at their couple t-shirts and definitely smiled awkwardly.

She seemed overwhelmed.

Seeing that, laughter naturally burst out.

She felt that they had successfully overwhelmed them with their presence.

But…!

“H-How is this possible!”

Their astonished voices turned the space upside down.

Indeed, did Dylan and Ishael couple lose to their overwhelming power once again today!

* * *

I was in shock and looked around the house.

It was completely different from what I saw this morning.

In the entrance, there was a pretty framed portrait of me and Dylan.

“We have a couple portrait.”

“Of course, we have one in our entrance too, right?”

Although I didn’t know when Dylan ordered the portrait, he seemed skilled.

“This should make our home look like a newlywed couple!”

Feeling slightly touched, I walked inside with all my strength.

But as I entered the kitchen, my body started to lose strength.

The kitchen was even more extravagant!

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw cutlery and various utensils.

“This, this is! Couple mugs!”

The two pairs of lovebirds, no, the newlywed couples were astonished and trembling.

“What kind of mug has faces engraved on them!”

The kitchen wasn’t the only place like this.

The living room was even more extreme.

“Hey, what’s that portrait in the middle of the living room?”

Dylan nonchalantly said, as if it were obvious.

“It’s a portrait I personally drew of Ishael.”

Wait, did he draw my portrait in just one day?

The other newlywed couples murmured in astonishment.

“…Wow, you drew it so well!”

I also muttered in a daze.

“Well, Dylan is good at everything he does with his hands.”

Dylan said affectionately.

“Thank you, baby.”

I was taken aback.

But there was someone who was even more surprised than me.

When they heard the word “baby,” Kashian-Hailey couple’s eyes sparkled.

“Haha! We lost in the first week, but this time, we can’t lose! Let’s see the other spaces.”

“Of course! The entrance, living room, and kitchen can have a couple traces!”

No, it’s enough if the entrance, living room, and kitchen have a couple traces.

And why are we competing with this kind of thing?

They were walking towards the nursery door that Dylan used before.

“Um, did we properly clean up?”

What if Dylan and I get caught using each other’s rooms?

I was slightly worried.

The newlywed couple opened the door with a thud.

And inside…

“Oh, my goodness!”

“To think of something like this! I lost! I already lost because of their love!”

“Truly, love and extravagance are amazing!”

My mouth hung open.

The nursery was more extraordinary than anything I had seen so far.

My paintings covered all four walls.

Dylan spoke hesitantly, as if embarrassed.

“I was worried that they would find out it was each room. I’m still a little worried. It’s not enough.”

Has the meaning of the word “not enough” changed without me knowing?

Excessive to the point of being shocking.

…Like this?

On one side, there was a picture of me wearing glasses.

On the other side, there was a picture of me without glasses.

And on another side, there was a picture of me just blankly staring.

On the last wall, there was a picture of me smiling brightly.

The newlywed couples went wild when they saw those pictures.

“We’re so jealous of this couple!”

“Dylan-Ishael couple, we acknowledge you.”

I really didn’t want this to happen.

I ended up defeating the real newlywed couples.

And right at that moment, there was a rustling sound behind me.

It was Emmanuel, who had entered late.

He muttered in admiration.

“Truly, it’s so perfect. Is this what a real couple is like?”

Tears even welled up in his eyes.

Ford came in behind Emmanuel.

“Why is Ford coming to someone else’s housewarming?”

Ford scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

“I happened to come here because Emmanuel seemed so excited on his way back from work.”

It was some kind of very subtle excuse.

I narrowed my eyes slightly and looked at him with a suspicious gaze.

But right at that moment.

Dylan straightened his shoulders, and his gaze fixed on Ford.

“Ford, take a good look with your eyes.”

Was that when he finally saw the nursery’s interior?

Ford trembled all over and murmured.

“It looks great. It looks really amazing.”

“How about it?”

“I feel like I have everything in the world right now.”

Dylan’s expression instantly turned fierce.

“Are you saying that by looking at Ishael’s face, you feel like you have everything in the world?”

Ford nodded with an incredibly moved expression.

“Yes. It’s really impressive.”

What is this?

Why is Ford impressed by my face, and why is Dylan wary of Ford?

Am I the only one who finds this situation strange?

Am I the strange one?

* * *

Time passed.

We sat around the living room and had a modest snack time.

In front of me were various fruits, exquisite dishes, and healthy drinks.

In front of Ford was a glass of cold water.

But Ford didn’t care and asked casually.

“But how did Dylan fall in love with Ishael?”

He had his usual expressionless face.

“I’ve always admired Ishael and longed for a chance to talk. And gradually, I started to develop feelings for her.”

Ford said with a trembling voice.

“It’s love.”

“I lost in this love… I lost…”

“I highly recommend the best newlywed couple.”

I glanced at Dylan with a flicker of doubt.

“Is it sincere?”

My face heated up slightly.

No, at this point where the whole house is covered with my face, I’m strangely excited.

Have I gone crazy too?

Then, Emmanuel said something that snapped me out of my thoughts.

“Oh, by the way, when are you planning to have the wedding?”

“Oh.”

Right, I forgot about the wedding.

Dylan spoke naturally.

“We’re in the process of preparing. Maybe we’ll have good news within a month.”

We should have a wedding.

But the expression on Dylan’s face when he said that was very determined, which surprised and confused me.

To boldly declare that we’re having a wedding.

He went a step further.

“Oh, Ford, you must be invited to the wedding.”

“It’s such an honor!”

Ford burst into laughter and nodded vigorously.

Both of them were so strange.

But everyone else was laughing happily.

Except for me.

“We won’t lose next time.”

“Yes, make sure you win.”

“Hahaha! Of course!”

And so, the newlywed interior experience came to an end.

While we were immersed in our spell bottles, we had already seen all the other houses.

“I feel like we’re the only ones in a couple show, right?”

Anyway, this couple show seemed to greatly impress Emmanuel.

He even handed over a million gold as a grant given to the best couple.

“I should have taken the money.”

…That should be enough, right?

After everyone left.

Dylan reached out to hold my hand as he tried to open the door to our room.

The moonlight from the living room illuminated his face.

For a moment, his face felt different, like someone else’s.
