193. You Belong to Me."What does Lexi want the most, hmm?"Jessica turned on the television and opened another pack of sunflower seeds, the fifth one. In three days, it would be her husband's birthday, and she still hadn't figured out what surprise she should give him. It seemed like a simple thing, but for Jessica , it was quite complicated.Unconsciously, Jessica fell asleep on the front sofa, the TV still on and the messy sunflower seed shells on the table. Normally, she would clean up the seed shells right away, but today, she was too focused on thinking about a surprise for Lexi that she forgot to clean them up.Lexi returned home late at night and smiled as he saw his wife once again asleep on the front sofa. He felt guilty for coming home late frequently these days. It was not without reason; Lexi had been working overtime to speed up his tasks and prepare everything related to Mr. Hendra's trial. Moreover, he was planning to take Jessica on a babymoon trip, a surprise that Je
194. An Unusual Morning.Chelsea opened her eyes. Slowly, she tried to regain full consciousness. The girl raised both hands, attempting to stretch her muscles. Then, she scanned the room with her sight. The room, the bed, and the objects around felt unfamiliar."Where am I?" she muttered, massaging her forehead, which still felt dizzy. Unconsciously, her hand touched someone's skin next to her.Oh no.Chelsea fell silent and held her breath.The next moment, she looked at the unfamiliar man who was sleeping beside her. The man was none other than David Kim, the younger brother of Daniel Kim, the man Chelsea had fallen for."Who are you, and why are you sleeping here?" she asked with a loud voice, still shocked and trying to piece together what had happened the night before."Why are you asking me? This is my room. I should be asking why you're here," David replied with a counter-question. He also had no recollection of what happened. He had come home drunk the previous night.Chel
195Title: Morning at Lexi's House.Jessica woke up earlier than usual. She went to the kitchen and hurriedly offered to help the older female servant and the other female servant who were cooking. For some reason, she really wanted to assist them in cooking because in 2 days, she would be going on a baby moon to Hawaii.The older female servant was cooking the main dish while the other female servant was helping peel and cut vegetables."Would you like a warm cup of chocolate, Miss Jessica?" Sometimes, Jessica would wake up early and ask for warm chocolate and snacks to consume in the morning before breakfast. After all, pregnant women often feel hungry in the morning."No, thank you. I'm here to help you prepare breakfast," Jessica replied, searching for a knife on the rack. She then chose to sit with the servants and help peel and cut the vegetables."Miss, Miss Jessica doesn't need to help us in the kitchen. Later, Mrs. Anna and Mr. Lexi will be angry if anything happens to you,"
196. Meeting of Mr. Kim and Mr. Hendra.Early in the morning, before heading to work with Jessica, Lexi immediately contacted Mr. Kim. He almost forgot to convey Mr. Hendra's wish for her grandfather, who is Jessica's grandfather, to meet him at the detention center."Dear, please sit for a moment. I need to make a phone call to grandpa!" Lexi instructed his wife, who was currently sitting beside him. He had heard complaints from Mama that Jessica often felt nauseous when she was alone at home. Today, Lexi would take Jessica with him to the office, hoping it would reduce the morning sickness she experienced in the first trimester."Okay," Jessica raised her finger.Then Lexi stepped out of the car, took his phone, and immediately made the phone call. In less than a minute, Mr. Kim answered the call."Hello," greeted the middle-aged man on the other end of the phone."Hello, Grandpa. It's me, Lexi. I'm sorry for calling you just now; I almost forgot," Lexi replied."Yes, tell me, what'
197.Title: Meeting with Mr. Kim 2As usual, Mr. Hendra spent his days in silence, only engaging in conversation when Ambon initiated it. However, when the young man sharing his confinement remained silent, Mr. Hendra chose to do the same.Suddenly, a prison guard arrived at the cell where Mr. Hendra was held. "Mr. Hendra," the guard politely called."Yes," Mr. Hendra replied, rising from his seat and approaching the man."Follow me for a moment, someone wants to meet you," he revealed."Alright," Mr. Hendra answered as the cell door opened. He stepped out and followed the prison guard.They walked in sync through the corridors, stopping at a secluded room at the far end. The room was very quiet, with only a table and a pair of chairs. A CCTV was placed in the corner, and the walls appeared neglected with peeling paint.Mr. Hendra composed himself and met the gaze of two men sitting there. "Wait, not just one person, but two are waiting for me," he thought."Mr. Hendra, you have 15 mi
198. ChelseaChelsea is in a fatal and error state right now. She has lost her virginity on that fateful night, but she doesn't remember the details of what happened that night at all.Even David, who was heavily drunk, can't recall the events of that night either. So, who will help Chelsea? Jessica? Daniel? She doesn't dare to confide in her own mother.For the past two days, Chelsea has been mulling over in her room. She either sleeps or sits on the balcony, just staying silent and lacking enthusiasm.She received thousands of WhatsApp messages that she didn't bother to open at all. The same goes for the hundreds of phone calls from her friends, Jessica, Bagas, and her other college friends.Even answering the phone and walking to the dining room seem too heavy for Chelsea. She admits that she's foolish and error-prone; how could something bad happen and become worse if she can't move on and keep recalling the bad incident?It's not easy, but she knows she has to make an effort to r
199. Chelsea 2Late at night, after returning from a celebration at the Atmaja family's house, Chelsea couldn't sleep. She remained awake, staring at the ceiling of her room. She chose to sleep in a corner, leaning against the wall.She wondered if this was a sign that she shouldn't have feelings for Daniel. She had just experienced falling in love with him, but she felt the need to bury her emotions deep within. Chelsea wanted to move forward, executing plans to win Daniel's heart. However, she feared the day Daniel would find out about what happened with David that night.Usually, when she had problems she couldn't handle, Chelsea would confide in her mom, or she would share with Jessica and find a way out together. But this time, she couldn't even tell Jessica because it involved her two older brothers, and it was impossible to discuss it with Bagas. It would also be too embarrassing to reveal to her friends that she was no longer a virgin.Chelsea grimaced at her reflection. She w
200. Abandoning the Plan.Mrs. Anna was sitting in the living room of the Atmaja family residence. Since last night, she had been contemplating and couldn't bear to leave Arsene to handle everything alone. This morning, she decided not to join Lexi and Jessica on their vacation to Hawaii.However, she felt guilty about it. One of them, either her or Lexi, had to stay home. It wouldn't be fair to leave everything to Arsene, especially when Ronald was currently off the island.Moreover, later in the day, the First Hearing of Mr. Hendra's case would take place. Even though Mr. Kim and his two grandsons would continue to oversee the case until the end of the trial, Mrs. Anna still felt the need to be at home. At least, if something happened with Arsene, she could be there to help."Lexi, it seems Mama can't join you on your vacation to Hawaii. Mama will stay home," Mrs. Anna said, looking at Lexi, who was relaxing and enjoying his hot coffee."Why did Mama suddenly say you don't want to g

Strangely even though it hurts, Jessica's lips were still smiling. they couldn't wait to meet the baby soon."What are you thinking honey, you look gloomy lately is something bothering you?" Lexi asked while massaging the soles of his wife's feet."Nothing matters honey. I only think about Daniel, because until now Chelsea had not been honest with him.

Chapter 233 enYou and I.Not wanting to just admire, Jessica stood between the rocks that were there. She was trying to touch the waterfall from the small river below."That's a really cool waterfall, honey."She slowly climbed down and joined the other visitors there. Submerging half of her body, with Lexi's guard of course."Indeed, the water here is famous for being clear and the waterfall is also very beautiful and cool. So that many tourists from within and outside the country come to this place. Swim. I will take care of you." Lexi was like a tour guide guiding her clients. He certainly wouldn't mind doing that.Maybe this was the last place they visited while in Bogor. Because it's likely that in two days the two of them would return home and return to life as usual.Their traveling in Bogor made Jessica even more convinced that Lexi loved her so much. This cold man really gave his whole heart to live life with Jessica.Lexi learned many things during their time togeth
Chapter 232 enThis world is just for usOn the next day."Honey, where are we going today?" Jessica and Lexi are getting ready to take their romantic journey through the beauty of Bogor to fulfill all existing discourses.Both Lexi and Jessica, they both wore warm clothes. Even though the weather wasn't too extreme, they were on guard considering that the air temperature recently rose and fell unpredictably.“Today we are going to a mountain with a waterfall. The mountain is also much hunted by tourists. I'm sure you'll like it later.” Lexi gave a statement."Isn't that too extreme? I mean... we've never done a hike before and I'm also pregnant” Jessica protested."Take it easy, honey. We're not going to climb it. We're just enjoying the waterfall like I said at the time." Lexi said that softly to his wife.“Well, I'm very interested in visiting it with you, darling. Let's leave immediately. I'm sure the place we are going to visit now will be no less interesting than the zoo
Chapter 231 enOur love.Lexi's best morning version, of course, was greeted with his wife's pillow face. He would happily pinch her cheeks using his thumb and forefinger."Good morning, my angel without wings."Lexi started this morning by kissing Jessica's cheek several times. Jessica, who was still asleep, stretched and slowly opened her eyes. The handsome face she saw for the first time made her feel instantly happy."Good morning too, husband. Sorry I'm a little late. If it's like this, when will I be able to do my duty as a wife?” she whispered.Jessica blinked her eyes a few times. She was still feeling tired because of last night. Even though it was in accordance with the happiness she got while spending time with Lexi.“Don't talk like that. As long as you know, you are free to wake up at any time. Except in this bed." Lexi teased while returning a kiss on his wife's cheek."Ooh, you! After all, I am a wife, I must know what is my duty as a married woman."Jessica wok
230.Just the Two of Us.Jessica continued to gaze at her handsome husband. This wasn't the first time they were enjoying time alone together, but she felt something different. It could be said that she was falling in love with Lexi all over again.He wasn't a naturally romantic man. Sometimes his cold demeanor surfaced. Nevertheless, when he said something sweet, Jessica would instantly be on cloud nine. She was so grateful to have someone like Lexi in her life."Uh... are you awake? Isn't it still too early to leave the bed, dear?" Lexi, who had just woken up, yawned. His voice was hoarse from sleep. Despite being a bit disheveled, Jessica loved looking at Lexi when he just woke up from a deep sleep."I want to see the morning atmosphere here with you, dear. We came all the way to this Villa, so we should enjoy the beauty of this place. While we have some time alone. If we keep staying in the room, I'll be tempted to keep teasing you." Jessica playfully poked her husband's nose."Wa
229."Where are we going?" Jessica asked Lexi, who suddenly wanted to take her somewhere. She wasn't sure where, but one thing was clear: the route they were taking was familiar to her. "So, are we really going to the Villa?" Jessica confirmed."To the place where we first met."Without looking at Jessica , Lexi answered the big question mark that appeared in his wife's mind."Emm... alright. I think from the direction we're going, I know where you're taking me."Gazing at the streets they were passing, Jessica could already guess where they were headed."That villa, right? The place where you first kidnapped me!" Jessica exclaimed quickly, coinciding with Lexi's car entering the Villa area."You're right, dear. For the next week, we'll be staying here. As a gift from me to you, before you give birth to our child.""Really?"Lexi nodded quickly. "Of course. I'll take you to a waterfall quite far from here, but I promise I won't tire you out. We'll also visit the zoo, which isn't far f
228.The following week, without David's knowledge, Jessica asked Chelsea to come back to Jakarta.She didn't want to hear the story from just one side. She needed to hear Chelsea's account in person, not through messages or phone calls, but face-to-face where Chelsea could recount what happened that night.Chelsea, who had returned from Kuala Lumpur, scheduled a Sunday morning to meet Jessica .She was in a taxi and was about to arrive at the Ricardo family's residence.The taxi stopped in front of the gate. Chelsea handed a hundred-thousand rupiah bill to the driver without expecting change. Then, she got out of the car and entered the yard."Hey, Mbak Chelsea. Nona Jessica is waiting for you in the backyard. You can go straight there," Parti said while sweeping around the porch."Yes, I'll head there," Chelsea replied enthusiastically. She started guessing Jessica's reason for requesting a meeting. Could it be that Mr. Kim wanted to expedite her marriage with Daniel? Or was it some
