2021-10-30 14:54:54Gabriella smiled when she saw that there were no more small hands grabbing the edge of the baby bed. Without making sure, the woman knew that her son, who kept failing to get out of the "nest", was already tired and lay down among his "bear" friends.
While shaking her head, the woman continued playing the tunes. Only when the song "Twinkle-Twinkle Little Star" ended, did she get up from the chair and peek into the bed.
"Is he asleep?" someone whispered unexpectedly.
With round eyes and hands in front of her chest, Gabriella turned to check. As soon as she saw a man with an innocent look, a sigh escaped from her mouth.
“Why did you enter secretly? It's shocking me," the woman grumbled as she pushed her brother-in-law's back away from the sleeping baby.
"I'm stressed, so I need Cayden to treat me," the man replied while moving toward the wide open door.
"He is asleep. Don't bother him,” Gabriella whispered as she stopped to reach for the

Mia immediately got up from the chair when she saw Julian's presence. With tightly clenched fists and smoldering lungs, the girl stomped towards the CEO.“Why did you just leave, Sir? Didn't you think about Miss Johnson's feelings? She has been so kind, taking the time to come here. But you don't appreciate her efforts at all," the secretary grumbled in a trembling voice.Instead of answering, Julian kept his mouth shut. His jaw throbbed under the disappointment in his eyes. Why did Mia defend Katniss more than himself?“Didn't you think about the consequences? You have disgraced your own father, Sir. Luckily, Miss Johnson could understand. Aren't you ashamed of this kind of childish attitude?"With all his might, Julian held onto his patience. Turning his gaze in another direction, the man tried to calm his annoyance. He didn't want to get out of control and make things worse."Why are you silent, Sir? Don't you feel guilty about runni

Cayden clapped hands cheerfully. While walking briskly around the piano his mother was playing, he laughed happily. “Slow down, Little Prince. You'll fall if you run that fast," Max exclaimed as he was struggling to take care of his son. Cayden was getting more agile day by day. Witnessing her husband's predicament, Gabriella automatically laughed. "Get ready, Max. After this one is the ultimate song.” “Is it the baby whale song?” the man asked between breaths. "Baby shark, Max," the woman corrected, shaking her head faintly. "Yeah, that's what I meant. My brain is already deprived of oxygen because of Cayden's actions," the man said as he grabbed the baby and lifted him into the air. “Relax for a moment, Little Prince. After this is your favorite song," Max sighed while putting on a witty look. Understanding what his father meant, Cayden moved his feet excitedly. His laughter filled the room more and more, warming the hearts o

“Gosh,” Gabriella sighed, shaking her head slowly. "I never thought that Uncle and Auntie forbid your relationship," the woman muttered, turning the secretary's lips into a much sadder one. After a moment of silence, Gabriella looked back with concerned eyes. “Why don't your parents agree? They know the Evans family very well. Shouldn't they have no reason to reject a man as good as Julian?" With a spirit that was almost extinguished, Mia looked up at the night sky. “Actually, my parents are against it because of that. We've gotten too close to the Evans family. It's a very big fortune.” "Then, what's the problem?" Gabriella sighed as she could not escape the look covered in sadness. “If I were Mrs. Evans, a lot of people would think my family is greedy and doesn't know how to thank. My parents don't want their only daughter to be seen as that kind of woman," Mia explained before letting out a quick breath and revealing eyes that were almost covered i

Mia staggered towards her apartment door. There was a feeling of reluctance to go in there. The girl was afraid that the man who had never left her mind, suddenly greeted her with arms outstretched. Mia was worried that she would not be able to resist the hug. “Tsk, why am I such a coward?” the girl muttered in a thin, trembling voice. A second later, Mia looked down at the phone in her hand. Two incoming messages were waiting to be read. With difficulty, she swallowed the bitter spit. Her thumb trembled between the names side by side on the screen. "Should I ignore Mister Julian's message?" the secretary thought, taking a deep breath. After exhaling quickly, the girl's finger landed on Katniss' name. “Thank you very much, Miss Sanders. I will not waste this golden opportunity. Please pray for me to melt Julian Evans' heart in three meetings." Mia's eyes returned hot to catch the letters that looked blurry. How could she sincerely pray for the

After her daughter's crying subsided, Minnie finally looked up. While wiping the puffy cheeks in front of her, the old woman sighed, “Why didn't you say long ago that you liked Mr. Julian? If Mom and Dad found out, we wouldn't try our best to stop it." With a bitter smile, Mia squeezed her mother's hand and kissed it. "It's not your fault, Mom, but my stupidity. I should be aware and stick to my parents' advice." "You must be in a lot of pain every time we remind you of that," Minnie mumbled with tears in her eyes again. After taking a very heavy breath, the girl shrugged her shoulders briefly. "I know it's for my own good. Because of that, I'm very sorry for putting logic aside.” "No, Mia. That is Mom's and Dad's ego. We are afraid that our family's peace will be disturbed. We forgot that your happiness is much more important than that,” Minnie sighed in an arid voice. “All this time, we always give you orders and prohibitions without considering you

"What are you doing here, Sir?" Mia asked while blocking Julian from entering the kitchen. "Why don't you reply to my message? Don't you know how much I worry?" the man replied while rolling his eyes. “Ah, that,” the girl sighed before gulping. "I haven't had time to read it yet." Detecting the doubts peeking through the gaps in the words, the CEO's eyes narrowed. “What did you do to not have five seconds to open my message?” "I was playing with Cayden. When I got home, I immediately cooked spaghetti,” the girl answered with a flat expression. "Is that true?" Julian inquired, tilting his head. A second later, he broke through, following the scent that called his nose. Witnessing the unexpected movement, the girl was wide-eyed. Quick as lightning, she grabbed Julian's arm so the man turned to face her. “Stop acting like this is your home, Sir,” Mia called out, blurting out whatever was on her mind. She really couldn't imagine wh

With eyes glued to Julian, Mia tiptoed into the bathroom. The man lying on the bed was still closed. Even though the girl turned the door lever and made a “click” sound, he didn't move at all. "Does he wake up?" the young servant thought while clutching two small bottles in her hands. One contained egg whites and the other was empty. After a few moments, the girl could breathe a sigh of relief. Julian hugged the pillow even tighter. “I have to hurry,” Mia thought as she entered and closed the door very slowly. Once she arrived at the destination, the girl immediately took action. She put the bottles on the sink and opened Julian's face wash container. Without wasting time, she poured the gel into the empty bottle provided. "Fortunately, there is little left," Mia muttered while securing the bottle that was already filled. Then, the girl took the egg whites and put it in the face wash container. “My apologies, Mister Julian. It's your brother's

"So, is Mr. Julian really your first love?" Minnie concluded with an incredulous sigh. She never knew that her daughter had such a story. "Can I not make him my first love?" Mia asked with a flat expression. "Not that you can't. It's just ... so ridiculous, Mia. You fell in love just because of egg whites." Listening to her mother, Mia sighed in resignation. "I can't control my heart, Mom." "And even now, you're still on your knees with that guy, hm?" the old woman inquired while lightening the corners of her lips. Seeing the answer of the daughter through a briefly raised shoulder, Minnie's smile suddenly turned sad. She understood that sometimes, feelings were hard to tame. "I don't know if this request is cruel or not, but ... I hope Mr. Julian's meeting with that woman does not go smoothly," she said in a low voice. "I want my daughter to be happy." "Honestly, I want to reject such evil thoughts, Mom," Mia sighed softly. “I

"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
CEO's Love in Trap Extra Chapter| 16. I Will Apologize
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
CEO's Love in Trap Extra Chapter| 13. A Father's Despair
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
CEO's Love in Trap Extra Chapter| 12. Grandpa and Grace
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.
