2021-08-15 09:47:44"Sebastian? Why do you come in? Get out! The mastermind will cancel the meeting if he finds out I'm with someone,” Gabriella urged in a low voice. The innocent woman was not suspicious of the man's relaxed expression.
"Take it easy. He will not cancel the meeting. Isn't he in the living room?"
“Yes, he ….”
The woman's words were suddenly interrupted by common sense. With a quick blink under the furrowed brows, she tilted her head. “How did you know that the terror was waiting for me in the living room?”
The corners of the lips that were originally high suddenly dropped. “Did I hear wrong? That's what the maid just said to you."
While pondering, Gabriella looked at the secretary with a worry on her forehead. “Then, wait here. I don't want your presence to anger the mastermind."
Sebastian's lips pursed spontaneously. Two seconds later, unexpectedly, he reached out to touch Gabriella's hair. The

Looking at Gabriella who was frozen with a pale face, the corner of the man's lips lifted faintly. “Are you still surprised by Sebastian's treatment? Sorry, he's been obsessed since the first time he saw you." Silently, the woman glanced at the secretary. Sebastian who just sat on the sofa, had returned to a serious expression, the expression he always showed whenever he was dealing with work. "Are you annoyed that I stopped your act?" the real mastermind asked. The secretary shrugged curtly. “What can I do if you have given the order?” he said casually. Witnessing the familiarity of two people in front of her, Gabriella's breath was getting louder. “Why do you have the heart to ruin Max's life? What's his fault that you want him to fall?” she asked in a thin, trembling voice. The tightness in her chest had constricted the throat. The mastermind and his confidant looked at each other in unison. After a moment of silence, Sebast

"I won't side with you!" Gabriella exclaimed with sharp eyes, even though tears could fall at any time."Don't get me wrong," the old man shook his head, raising eyebrows. “I just want to give relief to the illegitimate child. Didn't we already agree that the first option is much better?”Gabriella looked at her father-in-law with a straight face. Not a single muscle of her face dared to move.“Therefore, help Max by making him choose Quebracha. I have prepared two scenarios that you can carry out.”A second later, Herbert's index finger was raised in the air. “First scenario, you can steal the documents he's always kept secret and hand them over to Julian."“Then you can kick him out of the company? I'm not that stupid!”A small laugh suddenly escaped the old man's mouth."Don't be hasty in drawing conclusions. Think about how it will make you look like a traitor. He would indeed feel excruci

"Max, I'm fine," Gabriella said in a low, flat voice."Sorry, Gaby. I can't trust Sebastian," the man said as he continued to trace his wife's body.Knowing her husband's sincerity, Gabriella almost sighed heavily. Sebastian did not leave a visible trace. However, the woman still feels guilty for being helpless when she is touched by another man."What did he do to you?" Max asked, bending his knees to examine his wife's legs."It's nothing, Max. He just took me to meet you," the woman lied, trying to keep her expression even."Is it true?" the man inquired with an eyebrow raised. “Do you know that it's Sebastian who devised a plan to set me up in the office? I thought that he deliberately bought my time to kidnap you.”Sensing her husband's concern, the corners of Gabriella's lips lifted sadly. "But now I'm here, with you," she said, trying to ease the tension.Unexpectedly, that brief statement managed to make Max stand

"Do you want to do it here?" Max whispered after realizing that Gabriella was kissing him back."Yes," the woman sighed as she brushed the foam that had almost disappeared from her husband's hair. "But, may I serve you tonight?"At the unexpected suggestion, the man's eyebrows arched maximally. "Are you serious?""Of course."A second later, Gabriella began to dip her hands in the water. After a while, Max began to release pleasure in the air."Am I doing it right?" the woman whispered while continuing to make water ripples."Yes," the man sighed as he was barely able to answer. He had been lulled by his wife's massage."How about this?"Suddenly, Max let out a long groan and gripped the bathtub wall. Unexpectedly, Gabriella chuckled at her husband's expression.“Do you know that your face is really ugly right now?” she teased with a crooked smile.The man who was being attacked by his own heartbeat al

As soon as he opened his eyes, Max was immediately taken aback by the void in front of him. Gabriella was no longer in his arms."Gabby?" the man called in a hoarse and unstable voice.Not getting an answer, Max finally put on his clothes and went to the bathroom."Gabriella?"Knowing his wife wasn't there too, the man's brow furrowed deeper. After shaking his eyeballs for a moment, he widened his eyes and immediately walked out of the room."Auntie! Auntie ...!" the man shouted as he hurried up the stairs.Just as Max was about to step downstairs, the door to his workroom opened and Gabriella came out with an eyebrow raised in surprise. "Why are you screaming, Max?"The man's motion froze for a moment. After a sigh of relief, he walked quickly to his wife.“Why did you leave the room without telling me? I thought that you disappeared,” Max sighed as he hugged the woman. With his eyes closed, he muffled the worry.

After noticing Amber's brows in defiance, Gabriella finally turned her gaze to the butler."Auntie, please give us some privacy."Getting the unexpected request, Minnie's eyes opened wide. "Are you sure, Madam?""Of course she's sure," Amber interrupted with a crooked smile. "She realized that I had known—""Please, Auntie."Knowing the host felt threatened, Amber's lips grew wider. While laughing silently, she watched the butler descend the stairs."What do you want to say?" Gabriella asked, successfully bringing back the stiffness in the guest's face."I heard you have a high IQ. Shouldn't you be able to guess?" Amber' sarcasm made Gabriella's blood boil."Please don't beat around the bush.""I know that someone asked you to leave Max."A second later, silence froze the atmosphere. Gabriella seemed to be able to hear the sound of her own breath. Her lungs could no longer hide the worry."How do you

“Look! We've arrived," Max said as he let go of his wife's hand to turn the wheel.With arched brows, Gabriella looked around. As soon as she looked at the beautifully designed building in front of her, the woman's mouth opened wide."Max, are you taking me to a high class orchestra?" Gabriella sighed in disbelief.The man glanced over. Seeing his wife in awe, the corners of his lips lifted lightly. "Yes."In just an instant, the woman could no longer contain the turmoil in her chest. With teary eyes, she widened a smile. "I've been dreaming of this moment for a long time, Max," she said in a thin voice.However, as soon as the husband stopped the car, the woman's happiness faded.“But, what if someone recognizes you? You can be accused of not caring about Quebracha's business and having fun instead.”Casually, Max unbuckled his seatbelt and shook his head. "No need to worry. I've prepared everything."“

As soon as she woke up in the morning, Gabriella didn't dare move. Her husband was still asleep, like a baby prone on his mother's body. "Max?" the woman whispered, testing. After a few seconds, no sound was heard. The man remained unmoved. Knowing that her husband was comfortable with the soft pillows, Gabriella's lips automatically curled into a small curve. "You must be tired," she muttered as she touched her husband's hair. Silently, the woman watched the details of the face under her chin. The eyes that she often looked at, were hiding behind wide eyelids. The lips that often gave her warmth, were still silent. Slowly, sadness began to vibrate in her lungs. “I will definitely miss you so much,” Gabriella thought before swallowing hard. A second later, she closed her eyes, trying to hold the turmoil in her chest. The plan to run away could fall apart if the man detected a signal of separation from her. Feeling the body bene

"Whoa!" Cayden sighed as his father placed him on the back of a pony. With round eyes, he surveyed his height from the ground. Even though it was not much, the toddler in the cowboy hat still showed a happy smile. “How is it, Little Evans? Are you happy?” the woman who held the horse's rein asked. Not daring to move much, Cayden nodded at a limited angle. "Yes, Greta. I am happy. It's thrilling!” he answered enthusiastically. “Thrilling?” Gabriella muttered, furrowing an eyebrow. While continuing to rock her niece, the woman expressed astonishment. “Where did you learn that word, Little Prince?” "Daddy often mentions it," the toddler replied, successfully making his father wince. "Daddy said that the nights spent with Mom were always thrilling." As Gabriella glared at her husband, Greta burst out laughing. "Gosh, Max. I think you should be more careful now. Your genius son can absorb all the words you speak.” "Right. I'll be more caref

"If you kept avoiding me, I would really quit the company," Julian said, successfully freezing Mr. Hunt's steps. The old man was then blinking, digesting the words he thought he heard wrong. “Actually, my position as a CEO is being threatened for some reasons. I tried to keep it a secret from all of you. I didn't even let Mia know. But as it turned out, it wasn't easy at all. My mind became adrift. And because the burden was too heavy, my emotions finally exploded. I'm so sorry it had to happen in front of you." Hearing the tone that seemed honest, Mr. Hunt slowly turned his focus. Two seconds later, he saw the tears slide from the grandson's eyes. "I've tried to be strong and tough, Grandpa. I thought I could solve all problems. But it turns out, I haven’t found any solution yet. That's why I was angry when I failed to find Grace and you at the cemetery. It got me think that I am a useless man," Julian explained with the gloomy eyes landed on the grass.

“Tsk, why does Grandpa run away like this? It just makes me feel even guiltier,” Julian grumbled between gasping breaths. Holding on to Mr. Hunt's message, he walked down the tree-lined path. “What should I do if Grandpa isn't there? Where should I look for him?” the man thought as he couldn't erase the wrinkles from his face. The burden in his heart was too heavy to ignore. After a few moments of struggling with the noise in his brain, Julian finally shook his head and blinked strongly. "No, no. Grandpa must be there. I'll take him home and things will automatically return to the way they were before," the man nodded, fostering hope. Ignoring the anxiety that kept swirling in his mind, he went faster. Unfortunately, as soon as Julian passed the cemetery gates, his steps were frozen. His jaw was dropping while his eyelids were lifted to the maximum. What he had hoped for quickly turned into disappointment. "No way! This is impossible!” he curs

"Dad," Cayden called quietly. A second later, the toddler handed Max a piece of bread that had been cleaned of jam. "I'm already full," he continued with a meaningful smile.Understanding the son's intentions, Max spontaneously raised an eyebrow. "Do you want me to finish your bread again?"While showing two rows of tiny teeth, Cayden nodded. After a faint exhalation, the father began to vibrate the air with laughter."Gaby, look at what Little Prince did! I can get fat if he keeps handing me food,” the man said while showing the second bread he received from his son.“Just eat it, Max. You need more energy to help the Little Prince take care of Hasty,” the woman who was cleaning the dishes with a sponge replied.Hearing his mother's response, Cayden's eyes immediately widened. His energy had just risen to the peak. “I've finished breakfast, Mom. Can I go to the stable now?”"Yes, but you have to wash your face

Suddenly, Julian dropped his face into his hands. After exhaling heavily, he lifted his head again and put on an indescribable expression."I didn't mean to scare anyone, Mia. I just don't want Grandpa’s mistake to happen again," the man said with frown on his face."Yes, I know," Mia replied with the same thin voice. “But you can do it without hurting Grandpa's feelings, Julian. This matter can be discussed amicably.”While gritting his teeth, Julian shook his head. Confusion had returned to cover his eyes. “What should I do now? I already made Grandpa sad.""Apologize?" Mia answered with a grimace."Is that enough?" the man asked doubtfully. He began to realize that his anger had indeed crossed the line.Pondering, the woman nodded. “As long as it's sincere, Grandpa will definitely forgive you. And I think, you should also explain to Cayden that what you did was wrong. Don't let your nephew imitate something t

“Greta, have you prepared delicious toast for us?” Cayden asked as the hostess opened the door wider to welcome him. Seeing her father was still able to walk, the woman with high arch of the brows spontaneously sighed in relief. After shaking her head for a moment, she turned her gaze to the toddler who was still holding Mr. Hunt's hand and waiting for her response. "Of course I have. There is also strawberry jam for you. Are you hungry?” Greta asked while faking a smile. “Not me, but Grandpa. I heard the sound of his breathing all the way. Grandpa is very tired! He should eat a lot of bread," Cayden said with his trademark expression—round eyes and pursed lips. While stroking her son's head, Gabriella bent her knees. After leveling their eyes, the woman tilted her head. "You know where Greta put the plate of bread, don't you?" No more than two seconds, the toddler nodded. "Yes. On the dining table," he answered with a big smile. "That

"Sorry, Julian. I took Grace to see your grandmother for a while. Now, I intend to take her home. We're not wandering around or straying like you said," Mister Hunt explained with an indescribable expression. Even so, his hoarse voice was able to touch the hearts of the listeners, apart from his grandson. "But the way home is over there, Grandpa!" Julian snapped, still with eyebrows raised to the max. The young man didn't feel sorry at all for the hunched back that was getting weighed down by guilt. "I really can’t understand what’s on your mind. Don't you realize that your recklessness can lead to trouble? Didn't we agree to go together? Why did you secretly take Grace away?” he continued, thickening the wrinkles on his grandfather's forehead. Sensing her father's anger, Little Princess began to furrow her brows. The baby had never heard such a loud voice. When her eyes fell on Mr. Hunt's gloomy face, she spontaneously pouted. A second later, her heavy cry b

Arriving at the cemetery, Julian was taken aback. What he saw was completely beyond expectation. There were no old man and baby among the tombstones. The grandfather and Grace left absolutely no trace. "This is impossible," Julian muttered as he quickened his pace. Neglecting his initial attempt to remain calm, the man sped toward the direction Greta had given. After searching for a while, he finally found the grandmother's name on one of the stones. “Right, this is the place. They should be here," Julian sighed, sounding desperate. With deep furrows, he circled around, trying to find any trace of either his daughter or Grandpa Hunt. Unfortunately, as far as the eye could see, the two remained off the radar. Confusion instantly grew bigger in Julian’s mind. "Tsk, how could it be like this?" he grumbled while clutching his head. Knowing that irritation, Mia gently touched her husband's arm. She knew that the man had failed to control hi

Carefully, Mr. Hunt wiped his great-granddaughter's cheek. Grace's red eyes no longer shed sadness. However, the old man still felt guilty for making the baby cry. "I'm sorry, Grace. I should have walked more calmly so you wouldn't wake up," he whispered in between his ragged breaths. After her face had been dry, Grace rested her head on Mister Hunt's shoulder. Blinking slowly, she pursed her lips. The furrow of her tiny brows indicated that she still wanted to roll up in the blanket on the crib. The baby wondered why she was with her great-grandfather, sitting on a long bench at the edge of a path. “When I was young, I only need fifteen minutes to arrive at your great-grandmother's grave. But now, why does it feel so long and tiring?” Mr. Hunt grumbled as he wiped his forehead with one hand. After one quick breath, the old man stood up again and held Grace in his languid arms. Although the baby was a bit heavy, his lips still curled up warmly.
