A few days after a well-known man in the Waikato declared his love for a Demiurge worker, many men came to visit the shop. They were curious and wanted to see firsthand what kind of woman could resist the charm of a Gideon Issak Victor.

Many of them recognized Amelie's beauty. The girl's pot belly did not in any way diminish her charm and grace.

At one of the tables sat three men who had come with the same purpose as the men before them: to see firsthand the woman who had openly rejected Gideon.

"Jav, look over there!" whispered a lanky man to one of his friends. Staring in a direction with rounded eyes.

The other two men also stared in the direction where the thin man's gaze was directed. There were several girls in waitress uniforms standing in front of the counter, doing their jobs.

"The red-haired one?" asked Javier Kristofer to his friend, who was pointing at the hordes of working girls.

The man's face was facing Hendy Carlson, while his eyes glanced at the girls working at the s

    That morning, the Hayes family was enjoying breakfast. All the family members were there. Their daughter-in-law was no exception."More, dear. You need a lot of energy these days," Elena said after watching Jonathan finish his milk."No, I'm quite full already." Jonathan replied in a flat tone, as flat as his facial expression."Jo..." whispered Theresia, trying to warn him. "You should be grateful for the attention of your beautiful wife."Elena, who loved hearing beautiful compliments from her mother-in-law, blushed. The girl's eyes leered at her husband, hoping that he would stare at her in amazement as Theresia opened her eyes that had been closed, saying that she was a beautiful girl.Unfortunately, Jonathan did not look at her at all. He was more busy shoveling pasta into her mouth. Elena's smile faded instantly.

The girl seemed to be grimacing in pain, almost crying."Amelie, are you okay?" asked Anne, who had just finished mopping the floor.There was no answer.

    Gideon decided to enter the infirmary where Amelie was currently lying. The girl looked resigned to the pain that tormented her, which managed to drag her into her current situation of helplessness.The pain Amelie was feeling was evident from the moans and groans that were so natural, without being contrived. The sweat dripping down her face and body further broke the heart of the man, who had always looked at her with admiration. In the labor of the patients that Gideon had handled so far, there was always a man who accompanied the woman, struggling to give birth to the fruit of their love. What Gideon witnessed tonight made him curse the man who had impregnated Amelie."Hang in there, Amelie. You will meet your baby soon." Gideon patted Amelie's shoulder and looked at her with concern. He meant to encourage and comfort the woman, who was risking her life for a baby."This hurts so much... I want to... die," Amelie whimpered with a gasp. It made Gideon open his eyes wide."What are

    That afternoon, the Auckland sky was covered in clouds. It wasn't hot, but it wasn't cloudy either. A natural phenomenon that seemed to laugh at the uncertainty Jonathan felt. Parakeets flew back and forth as if dancing in Jonathan's turmoil.Jonathan was standing in his front yard with his eyes gazing up at the sky. His hands were tucked into his pants pockets. Half a year had passed without a single word from Amelie.The same question popped up every day, every week, and also at the turn of the month. With each passing month, Jonathan would ask himself whether Amelie was still holding on to the fruit of their love and find out what stage of development the fetus was in with each passing month. According to his calculations, Amelie should have given birth this month.Jonathan took a deep breath as he thought of all the bad things Amelie could do. She might choose to abort the pregnancy. Jo realized that struggling to conceive and raise a child alone was not an easy matter."Excuse me

Now the mother of one has resumed her work activities at the Demiurge shop.The difference in Amelie's face started to show when she first came back to work; her eye bags looked puffy, and she yawned a lot. It's safe to guess that she was sleep-deprived. Truly, taking care of a baby is exhausting. Nevertheless, all mothers must be happy to be able to take care of the baby they gave birth to.Amelie would often glance at the wall clock whenever she was done with a job. All her colleagues are well aware of this. Occasionally, they whisper to each other about Amelie's behavior.Time seemed to slow down as she worked, leaving her baby behind and entrusting it to Marie and Louise. There was a feeling of longing to go home soon to see Axel. Although she did not forget to pump breast milk to fulfill her son's milk needs while she was at work."Is something bothering you, Amelie?" chided Benitto, who stood watching th

Amelie gently rubbed Axel's cheek with a feeling of sadness. As if they were going to be separated for a long time. Because that was the reality she felt. Leaving Axel to work from morning until night was like parting with the little guy for a week.A mother would not easily leave her child, even if she entrusted her child to someone she trusted. Even if that person is the baby's father. It was the same for Amelie. Amelie's mind was always haunted by the image of Axel at home whenever she was at work."I'm leaving," said Amelie, who reluctantly stepped out of the house.Marie, who was very understanding of her granddaughter's movements, immediately walked after Amelie

    Amelie's heart didn't stop beating when the morning came. She barely even slept last night, images of the thrilling moment running through her head. She was going to be a bride that day."Oh my, Miss, your hands are so cold," said the MUA, who had just shaken Amelie's hand to congratulate her on the upcoming wedding. There was nothing Amélie could do but smile blandly. She was so nervous that she was about to say her vows to Jonathan in front of the audience. "Ah, I'm just nervous." Amelie replied while squeezing the white dress she was wearing. "Hahaha, I know how that feels. I also experienced the same thing with you when the seconds of my wedding began," Linda recalled while putting the makeup equipment that was no longer in use into the makeup bag. "Believe me, it's only at the beginning. Once the vows are done, your heart will feel so relieved. You'll even cry tears of joy afterward." Linda nodded confidently; she too had experienced being in the position of the woman she had

    The night was getting late. The night breeze was so cold that the thick blanket covering her body couldn't beat the chill of the night air, waking Irene up to check the heating.Irene's eyes blinked several times when she found the bed next to her empty without Robert, so the brunette woman walked out to find out where her husband was. When the door opened, Irene squinted to find her husband sitting on the steps of the servants' quarters terrace with his face turned up to the sky, leaning against a pillar made of natural stone with a melancholy look.Slowly, the woman walked over."Robert?" she called in a soft tone typical of a woman that instantly made the owner of the name turn his head. "Why are you outside? Is it cold, darling?" Irene touched her husband's shoulder and took a seat next to Robert, enduring the cold night air to keep the man she loved so much company."Irene, why are you awake?" asked Robert in a flat tone, masking the disappointment that was currently enveloping

    Jonathan walked back to his room with a smile on his face. It made a few pairs of eyes look at him with a quizzical look, but they soon settled into their usual expressions when they bumped into Jonathan. When he walked into his office, a girl was already sitting there waiting for him. "I see you're happy today, sir," Krista Valerie said, smacking her lips as she watched him walk into the room. "Not just being; I'm very, very happy today." Jonathan sat down in his oversized chair. Not wanting to find out more about her superior's happy feelings, the girl cleared her throat and asked why she had been summoned to come to the room of the man who kept smiling like a mental patient. "Excuse me, sir, what need did you call me here?" Not immediately responding to his secretary's question, the man took a few folders from the pile of documents and handed them to the pretty girl."I will be leaving. During my absence, please take care of this work." With her eyebrows knitted, the girl sl

    Amelie felt weak after seeing three pregnancy test kits showing the same result, with two red lines lined up. She didn't know what to do now. Was telling Jonathan about her pregnancy the right choice? She was so worried that the same thing would happen again. Jonathan would tell his family, and Theresia would ask her to abort the innocent fetus that Jonathan had planted in her womb. Instantly, the tears that had been receding fell down her cheeks. She would not be able to repeat the same story, bearing the pregnancy alone and raising the baby alone. Truly, it was a heavy responsibility. Amelie's reverie was interrupted by a knock on the door from outside. She quickly wiped away the tears until there were none left. Although her puffy face could not be hidden at all,. "Amelie, open the door." Marie anxiously knocked on the door and turned the knob repeatedly. Since her return from work, Amelie hasn't come out of her room; even now, the door is locked. Marie was worried that somethi

    Amelie blinked as sleepiness still lingered in her eyes. She had to get up to get ready for work and take Axel to school, but her body seemed reluctant to get up, as if it were stuck to the bed she was currently on. She closed her eyes for a moment to remember what she had been feeling lately. Amelie had not been feeling well lately. Headaches often came and went, and her breasts were pain. Her sense of smell had become sensitive. Amelie's eyebrows knitted together, and then she got up from the bed with a little haste and grabbed the cell phone on the nightstand to open the period app and see when her last period was. For some reason, when she was about to open the period app on her phone, her heart suddenly started pounding. It was as if she was already sure that the answer she got was something that would disappoint her and shake her sanity. The woman, who was still wrapped in navy pajamas, then took a deep breath before finally exhaling slowly. "Calm down, Amelie, calm down. Ev

    The sun is inching its way to the sunset, leaving an orange color on the horizon. The shop began to be quiet from visitors; one by one, among Demiurge visitors, they began to leave the shop after finishing with the activity of filling the stomach. Amelie wiped the table with a cloth as a closing activity in the tavern in the late afternoon. At the same time, Emery, who had just come out of Benitto's room, approached the woman with a rag, doing the same activity next to the table that Amelie was cleaning. Emery cleared her throat to make Amelie realize her presence. Instantly, the elegant woman turned her head and greeted Emery with a friendly face."Hey," greeted Amelie, who then returned her gaze to the shiny table, where she could see the reflection of her face on the lacquered table. Emery couldn't help but be curious about her best friend's encounter with the man Axel had told her about this afternoon."Sorry, Amelie, I hope you won't be offended if I ask." Emery said, which ma

    Amelie's heart skipped a beat as she pulled back the blanket covering her body. Not a single piece of clothing clung to her body. She hurriedly cleaned herself up after her struggle with Jonathan last night.Under the shower that splashed her body with water, Amelie closed her eyes. She recalled the events of last night and cursed herself for easily letting Jonathan enjoy her body. 'Stupid, stupid Amelie, what if he leaves you again after this? Why didn't I ask him to wear protection last night?' Amelie's mind began to worry. Her hands slowly squeezed her wet hair until the pain of the tugging was felt.She shook her head, trying to dismiss all possibilities and prejudices against Jonathan. But the more she tried to dismiss them, the more brutally those prejudices attacked her head. ....................."Amelie, are you up early?" Jonathan blinked his eyes as he found Amelie just coming out of the bathroom with wet hair. The time was 04:35. Why was she taking a shower this early?

    It was a very happy day for Axel. He could spend the weekend with his parents in the places he loved, something that had always been a dream of his since he often questioned his father's whereabouts."Dad, do you know? Today I'm so happy to be able to go on an excursion with my parents." Axel muttered on the way home. A moment after that, Axel yawned, and slowly his eyes closed.Jonathan stroked Axel's head as he sat on Amelie's lap, with one hand on the steering wheel. "I'm very happy too, sweetheart. We can have a three-day weekend after such a long day." Amelie smiled. She silently agreed that she felt the same way."He's asleep, Jo," Amelie whispered as she stroked Axel's head. The hair she was holding had grown longer; as Amelie recalled, it was only two months ago that she took Axel to the barbershop.The wheels continued to roll, and as Amelie looked out the window, she realized that it wasn't the way home. She refrained from asking; perhaps Jonathan wanted to buy something b

    Amelie woke up and was surprised to find that her body position had changed. Amelie and Jonathan had their arms around each other. She immediately threw off Jonathan's burly arms that were hugging her body. "How can you hug me that easily? You pervert," Amelie grumbled as she walked to the toilet. The sound of the water tap and the cold temperature of the water touching her skin instantly brought her full consciousness back. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Amelie patted her face and instantly groaned as the pats stung."Aw!" The pain she felt made her realize that the night she had spent with Jonathan was not a dream; it was a reality. Even the slap on her cheek left a red mark. Amelie's eyes were closed, with both hands supporting her body on the edge of the sink. A question that niggled at her heart arose. Was meeting Jonathan again a destiny?Amelie sighed as she walked back to her room. But when she arrived at the door, she heard Jonathan talking to someone on the
