“I cannot continue this engagement, Mr. White.”
Aaron gave Laurel a deep look. There was a deep firmness behind her fragility. The same firmness Aaron felt years ago when the woman threw him violently from her home, knocking his conscience until it hurt. He shouldn't be reckless against Laurel, if he is reckless, she will run away.
“Just call me White.” Aaron stared at Laurel deeply. “I think we struck a deal yesterday, Laurel,” muttered Aaron calmly, refusing to look at the ring Laurel had placed in front of him and leaning back in his chair.
“Yesterday I was confused.” Laurel hugged herself, as if trying to protect herself. “I've been thinking about it all night and I think this whole thing is a m

“Great. You made me the woman my boyfriend cheated in my teens, aborted and tried to kill myself many times?” Aamber got hee hands on hwr hips in front of Aaron. “Great, brother, and after this, Laurel will be looking at me with secret pity.”Aaron smiled at his younger sister's anger, then looked at her gently with a smile. That little sister could never be mad at him for too long if he looked at hwr like that.“I'm sorry, Am, I had to make up a hoax like that. However, I ran out of ideas and that was all I could think of. I know Laurel has a great sense of empathy and she would accept me if I did it for my sister. A girl like her.”“You are good at lying in a tight spot.” Aamber narrowed her eyes, still not forgiving her brother for making up a story about her to melt Laurel's heart. “And I guess you made it?”Aaron smiled. “She accepted the ring again and considered my marriage proposal.

She half shrieked and stared angrily at the gripper of her arm, Brian, who was standing by her.“Get off of me, Brian, you are so rude.” Lyn smiled trying to appear calm.Brian gave Lyn a long stare, then finally let go of his grip. Lyn sarcastically rubbed her arm, which had turned red from Brian's grip.“It will be bruised. What made you come to me and suddenly act this rude?” her gaze turned seductive. “Do you want to continue the one that was delayed at that time?”Brian snorted in annoyance. “Stop it, Lyn, I know for sure you're not interested in me. I used to chase you and you totally rejected me!” his gaze turned sharp again, intimidating. “Why did you seduce me that night?”Lyn glanced up and smiled. “Maybe it's because I'm in the mood to change my mind.” She purposely blinked annoyingly.

To get married quickly, Aaron needed Mike's help. He walked up to Mike in his office.“What? Wedding?” Mike was very surprised. Moreover, he had never heard of Aaron being close to anyone before. “Don't tell me that you fell into the trap of a sneaky woman pretending to be pregnant!”Aaron chuckled. “You could say that I framed my prospective bride.” He looked at Mike seriously, knowing that his friend wouldn't ask many questions unless he explained it. “I need your help to make it run perfectly.”“I can take care of it. You can stay at my hotel there and for weddings, you can call this number. He was the one who took care of my marriage with Lia.

The flight was not long, it took only two and a half hours and they were there. Aaron guided Laurel through the airport corridors, toward the exit. A well-dressed driver seemed to be waiting and led them to the shiny black car that had been prepared. The journey itself is short; suddenly they arrived at the main road, then stopped at a hotel full of elegant lights, leaving Laurel in awe. Even though she restrained herself from looking embarrassing in front of Aaron. The man took her hand affectionately and led her to the president suite on the top floor of the hotel. It seems the staff at this hotel have been waiting for them and prepared everything for them. Thanks to Mike on this. This hotel is one of the big hotels owned by the man. Mike had everything prepared for them just as he promised. Laurel frowned when they got the same room. She held Aaron at the door. “We share a room?” Aaron shrugged his shoulders. “We're getting married tomorrow at ten

She took a glance, Aaron was arranging the pillows and blankets comfortably on the front sofa while turning on the television in a low voice.Inevitably Laurel's mind drifted.Tomorrow is her wedding day. Even though it could be called an unnatural wedding day. Which bride just found out that she will getting married the day before? But if she looks from the past, her life is not natural.

“Now we can sleep in the same bed.” Aaron took off his tie and slung it over the chair, and looked at the nervous Laurel with a gentle smile. “That is, if you don't mind.” Aaron was really nice to say. Maybe another man will immediately force her to sleep in the same bed. Because they were husband and wife, and Laurel couldn't argue with that. However, he still asked her objection. That means he respects her opinion as a wife. Seeing that Laurel was silent, Aaron stood doubtful and offered, “Maybe I'll just sleep on the sofa again, if you're not ready.” The man was about to walk away, but Laurel held him back by tugging at the sleeve of his shirt. “Wait, Aaron.” Aaron stopped at once, glanced at Laurel's trembling fingers gripping his sleeve, causing her to nervously release her grip. She took a step back and looked at Aaron embarrassedly. “I won't throw you out of your bed again.” “So you're the one sleeping on the sofa?”

The sensation of feeling made Laurel's body weak, her fingers gripped Aaron's hair, making it disheveled.The man was completely on top of her now, his huge body covered her tiny body. Aaron rested on his elbows and knees and sank his head in the beauty of Laurel's ripe breasts. The man adored hers, fondled it with his tongue and sucked on hers slowly, causing her to let out anxious moans at the sensation that was just the first time she felt.Satisfied, Aaron lifted his head and kissed the tip of Laurel's panting nose, their breath clouding with intense passion.

These two people were truly happy.Laurel was taking the cake out of the oven and placing it on the kitchen counter to cool it before slicing. The smell of strawberry and coconut cake filled the room. She got the recipe for the cake from Chris when they were on the island and only had time to practice it now.“Looks like you made it. I've tried Chris's recipe and it's a mess, the inside is still raw.” Aamber looked deliciously at the cake and inhale its aroma. “Hm, and it smells really good.”Laurel laughed seeing Aamber who looked like she wanted to taste the cake. “Let it cool first, otherwise your tongue will burn.”“I'll take the risk.” Amber didn't care. She sliced the cake and pushed it onto the plate, then carried the plate while blowing on it.Aaron was holding his daughter wh

Aaron walked through the burial grounds, which he was very familiar with it. Earlier in the parking lot, he saw Aamber's car there. Therefore, his sister and Laurel really were here.He came here often, laid flowers on Laurel’s parents grave, and then spent hours there apologizing, begging them for forgiveness.His steps stopped when he saw two very familiar figures in the distance. That's Laurel and Aamber. Aaron quickened his pace only to find Aamber screaming in panic while trying to guide Laurel who was limping.“What’s happened?” Aaron asked quickly. Even so, when he saw Laurel's state, he immediately knew what had happened, even before Aamber explained it.“The amniotic fluid is ruptured!” Aamber screamed in panic. “We have to get her to the hospital right away, Aaron!”Aaron was pounding. Laurel was due to give birth soon and they were still here, in the middle of the vast cemetery, which to be had walke

“Don't lift that thing!” Aaron grabbed the small fruit basket that Laurel was carrying deftly. “For God's sake, Laurel, sit down! No need to help anything. Let Aamber and the servants take care of everything.”Standing there and on his hips, Aaron really looked like an arrogant boss who liked to order people, making Laurel's lips pout.“Aaron, I can carry myself! I'm sore because you told me to sit all day.”“You're heavily pregnant and your tiny body is tired of carrying your huge belly!” Aaron looked threateningly. “Sit down, Laurel, or I won't want to massage your feet anymore.”Of course, it's a lie. Aaron never forgot to massage Laurel's feet every night with a gentle essential oil, helping her get rid of her aches from having to carry around her growing womb. He also did not forget to help apply olive oil to his wife's stomach which was getting bigger.Today they are preparing the nu

Aamber came at noon to celebrate Laurel's return. She brought a giant teddy bear and flowers into the house.“I'm sorry I didn't see you at the hospital. I have a phobia of hospitals. Mom sends greetings to you; she had to fly back to Spain. Our aunt's condition is deteriorating and Mom wants to be there to take care of her.” Aamber looked at Laurel's stomach carefully. “Are you and my future nephew okay?”Laurel smiled. Aamber is very straightforward and funny. Laurel could probably be good friends with her. “He is fine.” She rubbed her belly affectionately. “Thank you for the flowers and doll.”“At first I was confused about what to buy. However, without realizing it, I was carrying this big teddy bear out of the shop.” Amber laughed. “By the way, where is Brother?”Laurel glanced at the second floor. “Aaron is taking a shower.”“Oh.” Aamber smiled gen

Laurel was stunned. She turned her head and stared at Aaron in silence. The man was looking down, not looking at her. His gaze lost in his own thoughts. “Do you know how I felt at that time?” Aaron smiled bitterly. “I came with all my arrogance and confidence, feeling powerful and having everything, feeling I could buy someone an apology, but I was wrong. You made me realize that time. When you said that I was a lowly human with no self-respect, hiding behind my father's power, you were absolutely right.” Aaron sighed. “I came home fully aware, like I was slapped to wake.” The man finally looked at Laurel with a look full of pain. “But I'm trying, Laurel, I'm trying so I can stand before you, with dignity. I tried my best. I founded my company as my proof to you. The company did not accept my father's interference at all. I started from scratch. And, yes, I did lie to you. I watched you from the start. Don't get me wrong, Laurel, I have absolutely no ill inte

That morning, as usual, Laurel helped bathe Alin's baby. It had been one week since she had stayed at Alin's house. Her best friend forbade her to leave first and she accepted the offer, considering her condition was not getting better. She always felt nauseous and wanted to throw up all the time. Her head sometimes felt dizzy and her condition had not even improved during the week she lived with Alin. The baby had been bathed and Alin gave him breast milk, while Laurel rearranged the baby's toiletries. As she bent down to put the towel into the laundry basket, a sudden pain shot through her lower abdomen. The excruciating pain made her groan as she clung to the towel rack beside her. “Laurel?” “It really hurts!” Laurel held her stomach that felt like it was being squeezed. The pain is excruciating. Alin placed her full and sleeping baby in the cradle, and then stepped closer to Laurel. “Come on, Laurel, maybe you're too tense and tired. Lie d

“You have to eat Laurel.” Aunt Sarah placed a plate of still hot food in front of Laurel. “Let's give it a try even if it's just a few bites.” Laurel glanced at the food on the plate. The food was delicious and, if she weren’t feeling dizzy, the sweet smell would surely make her salivate. However, at that time Laurel felt dizzy and did not want to eat. Nevertheless, she saw Aunt Sarah looking at her expectantly. The woman who is like her mother must have gone to the trouble of cooking this meal for her. Laurel did not want to disappoint her. Just to please Aunt Sarah, she ended up taking the plate and taking a bite of her food. Her stomach, which had not been filled all day, greeted her with an overwhelming feeling of nausea. However, Laurel held it back. She continued to eat the food for up to three bites, and then gave up, staring at Aunt Sarah with an apologetic look. “I am so sorry, Auntie.” Aunt Sarah smiled and nodded understandingly. “I
