2024-10-29 19:42:56“Mr. White.”
The call made Aaron, who was working on their latest contractual agreement with a property company, lift his head. Aaron didn't really like the nickname, but at this company he had to be called 'White' because he wanted Laurel to work here. If he kept using the name Aaron, it would likely make Laurel suspicious and if she found out about it all, this would derail his plans.
Aaron's secretary appeared at the door, looking nervous. “That… Mr. Mike wants to meet.”
Aaron frowned, Mike is the CEO — for the Indonesian representative of a foreign company — who collaborates and invests in this company. Given how cold and cynical Mike looked, it was only natural that his secretary would be so nervous.
“Invite him in.”
“I have entered without you inviting.” Mike walked in without caring, and nodded at Aaron's secretary to make her leave and sat down on Aaron's living room sofa.

Laurel smoothed her files, glancing at the clock, it was eight in the evening. Tomorrow's a busy day for Mr. White and thank goodness Laurel has finally got everything set up, even though she ended up having to miss the employee bus. The sound at the door made Laurel look up warily. Mr. White was standing there, looking like he had just returned from a business meeting outside. The man wrinkled his eyes at her. “Why are you still here?” Those eyes are really sharp, Laurel thought. She then replied, “Er, I finished the files first, for tomorrow.” Aaron gave her an unpleasant look. “Next time just leave the job and continue tomorrow.” He glanced at his watch. “It's too late for work, you should be home and resting. I'll have the driver take you home.” Laurel shook her head in panic. “No need, I can take the mini-bus—” “Follow your boss's orders!” Aaron's glare made Laurel swallowing hard. “Before that, I want us to talk in my room. Would you mind making

“Mr White's annual party was always lively,” Alin smiled while sitting at Laurel's table.She already looked tired carrying her growing belly, her maternity leave was only a few days away, but she looked excited. “The food is absolutely high class, Mr White is really not stingy with us, his employees. You can't miss it.”Laurel laughed and played with the pen in her hand. “Are all employees invited?”“Of course, and most of them won't miss it. The year-end party at Mr White's house is one of the things you've been waiting for, you're coming, right, Laurel?”Brian had invited her to come together. Laurel thought to herself, suddenly feeling warm. She hadn't known Brian that long, but somehow it all felt right. They can chat for hours without feeling bored. Even Laurel realized that their relationship could go further.“Your cheeks are flushed.” Alin laughed. “You're coming with Mr. Br

It's true what Alin said yesterday, Mr. White is really not stingy with his employees. The party he held in his house was very elegant with a sumptuous and extraordinary food menu. Servants stood back and forth offering snacks and drinks on the trays. While on the buffet table, the food seemed inexhaustible.“It's so busy here.” Brian grasped Laurel's arm gently. “Maybe we should step aside so we don't get hit.”They came late to the party. Because Brian was late to pick her up earlier, they missed the opening ceremony, the greeting by Mr. White before the meal began. Now all the guests have mingled, chatting with each other, enjoying a meal.The party was held in the garden in Mr White's very beautiful backyard. The house is western style with white paint dominating the whole building and the other dominant color is green. The color fills the wide expanse of neatly arranged grass, with dim yellow lights, adding to the exotic atmosphere o

“Would you like a drink?”The party is over and the guests are home. Only Laurel was still sitting in Aaron's modern kitchen. After the incident Aaron escorted her there and told her to sit down and calm down, told the servant to provide her with warm chocolate. He left Laurel to meet his guests, and promised to take her home later.As long as she was left alone, Laurel continued to contemplate, the incident repeated in her eyes. How very unexpected. Is it so free about Brian's life that he can just flirt with any woman he meets at parties? Pain stabbed into her chest, causing her to sigh repeatedly. At least she hadn't fallen in love with Brian too much, at least she hadn't taken her feelings too far….It seemed that Laurel had been struggling with her thoughts for a long time, because the party was finally over. Mr. White came to see her and sat with her in the kitchen, looked at her nearly empty cup of warm chocolate and offered another dri

Laurel let her whole body splashed by the hot shower in the bathroom. Feel confused. Her head was still throbbing, but at least her mind had begun to focus. She was completely naked with Mr White, on the bed in the man's private room. Have they made love?If so, why didn't Laurel feel any difference? Laurel had never made love to another man before, so she didn't know. But from what she had heard, the first moment was a painful moment. And the pain will be felt for a while. But at the moment she felt nothing. There was no difference in her body, no pain that was said to be felt in her womanhood long after the first night. Laurel hesitated. Did she really sleep with Mr. White last night?Her mind hoped that it didn't really happen, maybe they just fell asleep together and didn't go too far, right? But ... Mr White's attitude was so intimate and sensual, it implied that they had become lovers ...Tears rolled down Laurel's eyes, tears of confusion and frustration.

When Aaron drove her home, Laurel asked the man to drop her off at the end of the street. She was unprepared for Aunt Sarah's later questions when she saw her man, her boss, escorted her in a state she hadn't been home all night. Laurel had never stayed at anyone's house before, let alone stay without saying goodbye. Aunt Sarah must have been waiting for her frantically and worrying about her all night. The thought made her feel guilty. How was she going to explain this incident to Aunt Sarah? Does she have to lie for lies again?Aaron's car stopped at the end of the road, he looked at Laurel gently. “You really don't want to be driven home?”Laurel immediately shook her head. “No, thank you. I will try to explain myself to my house-mother.”“You live in a dorm?” Aaron is of course acting, he just has to ask that, otherwise it would seem weird to Laurel. “Where is your family?”There was silence for a moment

When Aamber visited the next day, she saw the gleam of happiness on Laurel and Aaron's faces, and she was grateful in her heart. 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

After that, without a word, Aaron placed the flower arrangements on her parents' graves.“What did you say to them?” Laurel looked at her husband tenderly as they walked home through the cemetery.Today Aurel turns two months old. Every month they visit the graves of Laurel's parents and lay flowers, praying for them.Aaron smiled and kissed her forehead gently. “Same words, that I apologize and promise to take good care of their daughter.”Laurel hugged him tightly. “You have done that promise very well.”“And I will continue to do so tirelessly,” he replied softly.They walked to their car and continued on their way home in silence. The atmosphere is too serene and beautiful to be broken by conversation.Arriving at home, Laurel went straight to the nursery. She looked at her daughter.

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.

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

The news made Aaron's heart skip a beat. Laurel is pregnant; Laurel is pregnant with his child. They will have a baby together. Aaron immediately drove his car, half-speeding towards Laurel's dorm. He couldn't wait to meet her, make sure his wife and baby-to-be were all right. Whatever happens, he will keep this marriage. The baby further strengthens his reason for fighting to get Laurel back. He hopes that Laurel will at least give him a chance. He parked his car in front of the hostel carefully.

“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
