Last Updated:
2021-12-31 22:01:02"Are you nervous, Madam?" the doctor asked with eyes focused on the screen in front of her.
Unlike the examination before, Mia could already shake her head effortlessly. "No, Doc. We've agreed to stay excited whatever the result is."
With a smile on her lips, the woman in the white coat nodded. “Okay …, then, let's see,” she muttered while sharpening her focus.
Without saying anything, Julian gripped Mia's hand tighter. As soon as his wife turned around, the man let out a quick breath.
"Are you nervous?" the pregnant woman whispered with raised eyebrows in disbelief.
"For some reason, my heart is beating really fast," the man answered with the same volume of voice. "Maybe because I am too happy. This is our first child."
Sighing a faint laugh, Mia stroked her husband's hand with her thumb. After bringing her lips to the ear of the man, she whispered again, “Actually ..., I'm nervous too. But, I try to look cool in front of the doctor s

"Juyan? Mia?" the baby called in a small, shrill voice. Getting a very adorable response, the pregnant woman spontaneously painted joy on her face. "How are you, Cayden?" "Fine ..." the Little Prince replied as he nodded almost hitting the camera. Hearing the baby's speech progress, Julian automatically sighed. "Gosh, my nephew is really smart." Feeling himself being praised, Cayden automatically laughed. With both hands holding the phone, he couldn't cover the rows of tiny teeth that added to his cuteness. "Where are your Mom and Dad, Little Prince?" Mia asked while raising an eyebrow. She was confused because Gabriella didn't take the cell phone from the baby yet. Wasn't Cayden banned from staring at the screen unsupervised in order to maintain the eye health? "Mama Dada piping," the baby replied, looking the other way. Receiving the unclear answer, Julian instantly looked into his wife's eyes. "What did he say? Piping?"

"I-isn't that the fortune teller?" the pregnant woman muttered breathlessly. Her eyes trembled as horror gripped her mind. Realizing that Mia's whole body had turned tense, Julian automatically moved his hand to rub his wife's cold arm. "Yes, she is the fortune teller. But, you don't have to worry. This time, let's not pay attention to her words. We just need to walk as if she doesn't exist." Hearing her husband's suggestion, Mia swallowed hard. After taking a deep breath, she nodded. "Okay," the pregnant woman sighed while tightening her grip. A second later, the couple continued walking. Both of them avoided the fortune teller's gaze. Julian looked to the side, while Mia pretended to be observe the steps. Understanding what her employer was doing, Lena also kept her eyes busy. "Who exactly is that woman, Madam?" the young servant whispered while rearranging the bags she was carrying. "We'll tell you later," Mia said in a depressed vo

"Why didn't you bring Lena here?" Julian asked while turning to the woman walking beside him.In an instant, Mia stopped noticing the composition of yellow and white roses in her hand. Lifting the corners of her lips, she returned the man's shady gaze.“I want to keep our privacy. Without Lena, we can talk more freely and convey anything to Dad,” the woman answered, successfully engendering a sense of pride in her husband's heart."You are a very understanding wife, Mia," Julian flattered, rubbing the pregnant woman's back.While spreading a smile, Mia wrapped an arm around the man's waist and rested her head for a moment on the broad shoulder. "I know you'll be embarrassed if Lena sees your tears."Not expecting his wife to make fun of him like that, a spontaneous bland laugh escaped from Julian's mouth. "Do you think I'm going to burst into tears?"Without wasting time, Mia nodded. "Yes. My husband has a very tender heart. He w

"It doesn't matter, Julian. You're still in the learning process. One day, you will definitely become very strong,” Mia whispered, implanting suggestions.Nodding, Julian closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The scent of Mia's hair never failed to calm his restless heart. Unfortunately, before the couple had time to let go of the hug, a cell phone in the man's pocket suddenly rang. Feeling disturbed, Julian grimaced."Who's calling at an inopportune time like this?" the CEO grumbled, making his wife laugh out loud.However, as soon as Mia's eyes caught the name that appeared on the screen, surprise suddenly weighed on her brows. The joy was no longer etched on her face."Why is Alice calling at this weekend?" she whispered without blinking.After shaking his head faintly, Julian received the call. "What's the matter, Alice?" the CEO asked under a frown."Good morning, Sir. Sorry to disturb your leisure time," the second secretary sa

"Who is it, Madam?" Lena whispered, curious about Mia's cell phone that had just rang."Gabriella," the woman answered, raising an eyebrow.Instantly, the young servant sucked the air from her mouth. “Have they secretly returned?” she sighed hopefully.While shrugging briefly, Mia received the call. She didn't want to get her hopes up."What's the matter, Gaby?" the pregnant woman greeted friendly.“Mia, are you at the office?” the woman from the other side of the phone asked in a cheerful tone."Yes. We just got back from buying lunch. So, why are you calling at this hour? Isn't it almost midnight there?" the potbellied woman inquired while glancing at the servant who was waiting to hear from her.Unexpectedly, Gabriella's laughter sounded crisp. "Midnight? The sun is scorching here. Cayden is very happy to see flowers this season."In an instant, a sigh of relief escaped from Mia's mouth. "I've got the

"M-Mrs. Evans?" the suddenly pale woman sighed. Cold sweat began to form on her forehead.“Are you sure that your performance in this company is good?” Mia asked defiantly.Everyone who heard her loud voice spontaneously gulped. They had never seen the secretary so fierce. Wasn't Mia Sanders a graceful quiet woman? Had she been infected by the CEO's hot temper since her name changed to Mia Evans?“Y-yes, Madam. I have never heard any complaint from a superior or received a reprimand. I always do all the tasks on time with satisfactory results,” the woman who shrank replied. Her chin was no longer challenging the sky, while her shoulders drooped with worry.Without changing her sharp eyes, Mia moved her gaze to the employee with longer hair. “Is what she said true? Has anyone never rebuked her?”Grimacing, the woman who shifted away from her partner nodded. “R-right, Madam. Until this time, she has always re

“What did you two discuss earlier, Julian? Why does Alice have a long face?” Mia asked with a forced smile. The husband must not know that she was not comfortable with the pressure in her womb. At such a question, Julian quickly looked away from the tablet and put on an innocent look. "I'm not scolding her—just suggesting to work a little more carefully," he replied dryly. While walking towards the husband's table, Mia raised an eyebrow. “Hasn't Alice grown a lot? Her work is much faster and neater.” “Yes, but still not thorough enough. There are still files that she didn't arrange according to the priority scale," the CEO said while getting up from his chair. After circling the table, he landed a warm kiss on Mia's forehead. "So, what did you buy for lunch?" While pressing the waist, the pregnant woman glanced sideways. Without a word, Lena showed the meals. “We bought sandwiches,” Mia said as Julian checked their lunch menu. "Do you

"How is the fetal heart rate?" the doctor asked with furrowed brows. "Still safe, Doc." After a blink, the woman in green brought her eyes to the patient who was already very pale. “Are you still strong, Madam?” In between irregular sighs, Mia nodded weakly. "Yes." “Then let's try one more time. Please give all your strength, Madam,” the doctor said with a reassuring nod. "You can do it." As the medic returned to her seat, Julian stroked his wife's sweat-drenched hair. The eyes of the man who was also dressed in green were already covered with tears. "Come on, Mia. I know you are strong. Little Princess can't wait to see us." A second later, Mia answered with a faint head motion. She had to conserve energy to deliver the baby who kept pressing on her pelvis. "Start to control your breath again," the doctor said, tightening her patient's fist. “Inhale …, exhale. Pull again, push now!” While gripping her husband's

"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.
