"I was worried." Phoebe approached. "Are you okay?" She tried to touch Gladwin, but he evaded her.
"You don't want to become a widow in less than two days, do you?" He asked sharply, making Phoebe wide-eyed. Her face paled, and a gasp of shock was heard from the door. Some nurses who were still there stared in shock at Gladwin and Phoebe alternately, as if demanding an explanation, but Gladwin chose to ignore them.
"Never act like a wife in front of me, because I don't need it. And don't step into my room unless your visit is work-related," he muttered. He then walked behind the desk, preparing for his work.

"Oh my God, that's the first time I've seen Doctor Hampton's terrifying expressi

Gladwin retorted harshly, causing his mother to widen her eyes. "Sorry, Mama. For me, my wife is only one, and that's Flavia. The only woman I love and want to touch is Flavia, not her," he said, nodding his head towards Phoebe. "I wouldn't even be tempted even if Phoebe were naked and spread in front of me," he said insultingly. Phoebe, Julie, and Abigail's parents were shocked by Gladwin's harsh words."Gladwin!" Abigail's father reprimanded.Gladwin turned his head to look at his eldest brother.

Flavia gazed at a magnificent building in front of her. The building, located in Istanbul, Turkey, was completed in 1616. The towering forty-three-meter towers looked majestic with their five-meter diameter concrete columns. "Beautiful," that was the word that came to her mind as Flavia observed the sturdy structure. Passing through flower gardens and lush trees, Flavia made her way to the ablution area. Silk carpets lined the mosque's floor. Blue ceramics adorned its walls. The ceramics decorating the mosque walls featured motifs of leaves, tulips, roses, grapes, pomegranates, or geometric patterns. With two hundred and sixty windows inside the mosque, imagine the tranquility and coolness of this house of God.

Gladwin hugged his wife's trembling body tightly, stroking her back and kissing the side of her head. "I know. That's why I've been patient. Waiting for you to contact me first, even though I was actually frustrated myself. "I thought you would take revenge by leaving me for five years before finally coming back," he whispered with a smile on his face. Flavia moved away from his body and looked at her husband. Gladwin, instead, reached for her waist again and led Flavia to the bed. "I once left you for five years, and I thought you would make me suffer for that long too," she answered honestly. Flavia smiled, feeling guilty. "I did intend to do that," she replied casually, which left Gladwin wide-eyed. But then Flavia smirked mischievously. "But turns out, I'm not that strong." She pulled Gladwin's right hand and placed it on her flat stomach. Her left hand pressed the

Morning approached, and the sunlight caused their warm embrace to loosen slightly. Gladwin's hand, still faithfully resting on his wife's stomach, moved slowly in a circular motion, eliciting a groan from Flavia."Morning, honey," Gladwin kissed Flavia's temple.

"Let's get up and shower," he requested, met with a nod from Flavia, her eyes still closed. Gladwin smiled, finding his wife irresistibly adorable, possibly due to the pregnancy.Gladwin pulled his left hand, which served as a pillow, and bent his elbow to use it as head support.

And earlier, I reported his crimes to the police. They acted promptly, arresting his father caught red-handed selling stolen cars. And the additional charge against him was human trafficking. The evidence is being processed, isn't it, Ramon?" Hendrick got straight to the point. The man named Ramon nodded."We also kept watch on the abortion clinic Hendrick informed us about.

The night when she and her mother left Gladwin's house with all the evidence in hand.Satisfied?

Julie lifted her head, wiping the tears from her face and sniffing loudly before nodding like a child asking for something from their parent."I promise, I swear I won't demand anything from Flavia anymore. It's enough for me if she comes back to you. It's enough for me if she forgives me. I promise not to pressure her to give me grandchildren.""I should have realized that offspring is a gift given by God to us, not solely because of our desires. I was foolish and selfish. I was wrong."Gladwin hugged her mother who still sobbed. "There, there, Ma. Don't cry anymore. If you keep crying, your wrinkles will look even more and your face will look uglier." Gladwin teased her mother while patting her back, which made her mother gently hit her back in response. "I promise I will bring Flavia back. I will make Flavia my only wife, and I will make sure she becomes the most beloved daughter-in-law by her mother-in-law," she said. Julie Hampton just nodded in Gladwin's embrace.The next mornin

"I'm not unwilling to reveal everything; I'm just worried that if I do, you might have a heart attack. But if Grandma is sure she can handle it all, I'll lay it all out," she replied casually."Julie, I think we should just go home. I can't bear to see my daughter being slandered by others," Penelope said, now pulling Phoebe's arm."Aunt Phoebe clearly had a husband even when she married her first husband. That's the first point," Abigail didn't want to give up just yet. "Even then, she was pregnant with Gisel, who turns out not to be her first husband's child. Nor is he Deryl's child, the man who is still her husband." She continued. Penelope and Phoebe looked at Abigail with wide-eyed shock."Gisel is the result of Aunt Phoebe's affair with her own father-in-law. Isn't that right, Aunt?" Abigail asked with a sardonic smile. "The second fact, Grandma. All this time, Aunt Phoebe has been prostituting herself under her father's control." Julie Madsen gasped, while Phoebe and Penelope r

"Yes, Grandma?" Abigail responded in a flat tone. "What's wrong with what I said? You're the one who said you want grandchildren, but when I discuss it, I'm still blamed. Why, Grandma? Do you only want grandchildren born from Aunt Phoebe? Don't you want grandchildren from Flavia?" Abigail asked in a sharp tone, making Julie have to pinch her under the table. "Ouch, Grandma. That hurts.""You need to watch your mouth. Stop hurting people with your words," Julie muttered angrily. Abigail was equally annoyed; she rubbed her leg which felt hot from her grandmother's pinch."I learn from the expert," Abigail replied, causing her grandmother to raise an eyebrow. "Besides, I'm better off because I only need to watch my mouth. Meanwhile, your chosen daughter-in-law, not only does she need to watch her mouth, but she has to watch everything." She replied irritably."What do you mean?" Penelope and Julie asked simultaneously."Earlier, you told me to watch my mouth, and now you're telling me to
