Sarah’s POV"I'm done." I put the spoon I was using on the table and then pushed my body to get up from there. I looked at Ethan, who was still quietly enjoying his breakfast, looking like he wanted to be there longer. I watched him for a few moments hesitantly. Wondering if he was going to drop me off or if I should go alone. I glanced again at the small circular clock in my hand, which made me even more urgent. "I have to go now, Ethan. Enjoy your breakfast." I prepared to leave with my laptop bag that I had placed on the table."I'll drive you." He made me stop my steps and turn to look at him silently. He cleared the corner of his aunt and got up from there. "What's wrong with surviving your breakfast?" He glanced at me while shaking his head lightly.Thanks to him, I scrunched my eyes strangely and walked behind him, following him into the car. My feet couldn't stop tapping anxiously during the trip because my mind was elsewhere. I was worried that my delay would become a proble
Ethan’s POV"Wouldn't it be better if you just told her?" Luke, who has been my right-hand man for almost five years now, also directed his gaze towards me, who was watching Sarah from my room, which had a two-way mirror.Sarah's kooky appearance since she came made me feel amused. I don't know when she became an exciting thing for me to pay attention to. I admit that I enjoy my free time more by observing her than other objects, which usually makes me think more critically and makes me somewhat tired of my thoughts. I liked it. Liked that her existence changed my habits a little, as well as my perspective on things.I averted my gaze, pivoting my body on the chair to face the other direction while smiling. "Leave it alone. It's not time yet. I don't want to tell her yet." Like my previous answer, Sarah doesn't need to know who I am for now.There would be no good in telling her my status as the owner of the company she works for. Knowing what she looks like, she would only get more a
Ethan's pov.I arrived in front of the hospital thirty minutes after leaving the office. Considering Luke imagined my daily life as exhausting, I never thought about it before. Maybe, yes, I was tired, but it had never occurred to me before. Because if I had time to stop, I'd use that time to fall asleep immediately.That's how my body responded all this time. I never complained about it. However, the whole time, I repeatedly let out a long sigh out of annoyance, boredom, or because I felt that something would take more time while I wanted to move on to something else immediately.But I think I immensely enjoyed it, my busyness helped me direct my thinking brain to something more practical, rather than thinking about other things that have no purpose."Oh, you've arrived, Doctor Ethan?" Two women, who were my coworkers at that place, passed me in the corridor after they came out of their private rooms.I gave both of them a glance and nodded my head, not intending to make small talk t
Ethan's pov"When will he arrive?" I muttered under my breath, looking at the watch in my hand. Then, I turned my gaze outside."Can I choose where to buy the coffee, doctor Ethan?" Doctor Smith's voice turned my gaze towards him. He pointed at the courtyard outside the hospital, where shops and cafes bustled.Having given me his sandwich for free, he now asked me to order him coffee. For a moment, I tried to process it with the option of just giving him my card so he could buy it himself since I was not in the mood for coffee or moving from my spot, especially since I was checking the report Luke sent me.But he said that it didn't matter if I was busy at the moment, he would wait. He then just walked out of my room without hearing my answer first. Then, when he came back to see me, who had just finished checking, he quickly charged it and didn't leave me with much choice.I nodded my head. "Yes, that's fine." This job involves close relationships with others, and it's good for me t
Sarah’s POV"Where do you want to treat me?" Ethan got up from his chair and took off the doctor's coat he had been wearing.He looked impressive in that doctor's coat, but even when he took it off, he was still amazing. They say being fashionable is all about the face and body proportions, while what you wear is just a support that reinforces the impression, and Ethan proved that through his face.The man was perfect even though he was wearing strange clothes made by designers who made clothes no longer for their function to be comfortable to wear but because of their breakthroughs and desire to be different."From this place, turn to Orchid Street. I will direct you further," I replied to his words as he opened his car door and ensured I got inside first.Ethan briefly raised his gaze to me, and he made me sit there and put my seatbelt on.I don't know if he was teasing me or what, but he managed to make my heart beat irregularly because of it. He made me stop breathing briefly when
Sarah’s POV"You know him, Ethan?" I looked at Ethan and Mr. Luke in turn. Mr. Luke was my boss at the place where I worked, and as far as I knew, I had never introduced the two, and they had never met either, so how could they know each other?I noticed Ethan averting his gaze from Luke. He looked rather awkward, while Mr. Luke seemed to be avoiding my gaze. What exactly happened between them?Ethan raised his hand and pointed at Luke with his open palm. "He and I are acquainted as patients. He is one of my patients."I covered my mouth with my hand. "Ah, is that so?" My eyes widened, turning to Mr. Luke with a sympathetic face. "So you're sick, sir?"I saw Mr. Luke's face staring at me hesitantly and not looking good. I immediately fell silent, the expression on his face making me wonder if maybe my question to him crossed the line. Could it be that his illness is a secret, and I made him feel awkward from earlier by asking them. "Ah, sorry. I shouldn't have asked, once again sorry
Sarah's POVI stared at Ethan in disbelief, my palms covering my agape mouth. I didn't expect that Ethan had this kind of thing he was hiding from me. That guy is unpredictable. Actually, he did look mysterious, but I thought that his mysteriousness only came from the character he had, but apart from that, Ethan was full of surprises.Getting to know and spending time with him made me feel like I was opening up layer upon layer of parts of him that I didn't know before. I sighed heavily while shaking my head. This was too much information. My hand covering my mouth now covered my face, which was sitting down. Then, I tried to breathe better.I straightened my head again, and then my eyes searched for water in the glass and drank it in a hurry. I had to process this information well somehow. Then I looked at Mr. Luke and Ethan, going back and forth between them with a questioning gaze. "My boss? Is it true, Mr. Luke?" I wanted him to confirm it.I watched as Mr. Luke nodded his head. "
Alex Pov's"Ah, shit! What happened?" I closed the door of the house roughly and dropped my body on the sofa unceremoniously.Today's decision really pissed me off. Where exactly did she get all that evidence for the submission when I had been so careful every time I saw Emily? I'm sure I wasn't being careless by having someone catch my trail or anything like that. I even applied to various places to see Emily, not under my name, but how could she know?"What a bitch!" My hand picked up the sofa cushion and threw it unceremoniously in annoyance. My emotions were getting the better of me, my body felt a radiating heat, and I repeatedly inhaled and exhaled, not making me feel any better.My chest still felt like it was on fire. Everything should have gone well. This is beyond my imagination. I thought she would just be angry for a while and accept me again. Hasn't she always been independent, not relying on the help of others and always making herself her helper? So why was she so angry
Sarah's POV“What do you think of the dress?” I twirled before Lira, who sat casually in her chair, nibbling on something.Lira’s eyes carefully assessed me from head to toe with a serious expression. Then, she motioned with her hand for me to turn around and show the other side. Only after doing so she nodded approvingly. “You look perfect,” she praised me with a satisfied smile.She got up from her seat and walked over to me, her hands gently adjusting a few strands of my hair that were out of place, making me look slightly untidy.“There’s no one more beautiful than you,” she effortlessly complimented me again.I chuckled softly at her words. Then, I turned to face the mirror, seeing myself wrapped in a white mermaid-style satin gown that beautifully accentuated my figure.The dress looked stunning with a long skirt and an elegantly open top. I truly loved it, but I couldn’t help feeling a little self-conscious. “But don’t you think it’s a bit too much?” I asked.From behind me, Ly
Ethan's POV After finishing our meal together, Sarah once again disappeared from sight. I’m sure she’s busy with Edmund now. That little boy has stolen his mother from me. No matter what or where Edmund is her priority, I feel my position has been shifted."Sir, would you like me to prepare some tea?" Emy asked me.I shook my head, intending to return to work for a while, but I changed my mind this time. "No need. Have you seen where Sarah is?""Miss Sarah is in Master Edmund's room, sir. She's putting him to sleep," Emy replied promptly.I figured she'd be there. I remember telling her that Edmund should get used to sleeping in his room. After all, he's old enough. But Sarah said she couldn't bear it and would stay with him until he fell asleep.I then moved toward Edmund's room, right next to mine. "Is he asleep?" I asked Sarah as soon as I entered.I hugged her tightly from behind while gazing at our sleeping son. I rested my chin between Sarah’s shoulder and neck and kissed her s
Ethan povAs soon as they finished eating together, Sarah did not show herself again, to the point that I am sure she must also be busy with Edmund this time. The little boy stole his mother from me, so now, whatever it is and wherever it is, Edmund is her priority, and my position has shifted."Master want me to prepare tea?" Emy asked me.I shook my head. I had originally planned to go back to work for a while, but this time, I canceled my intention. "No need. Where did you see Sarah?""Miss Sarah is in Mr. Edmund's room, sir. she was putting him to sleep." Emy replied immediately.I thought she must be there. I remember telling her to get used to Edmund going to his own bedroom; after all, Edmund was old enough, but Sarah said she couldn't bear it and would stay with him until Edmund fell asleep.I then moved there, walking to the room next to mine. "Is he asleep?" I asked Sarah just as I entered Edmund's room.I walked up to her even though I hugged him from behind. Looking at our
Ethan povAfter Sarah went downstairs to the inn, she needed to stay until her condition completely recovered after giving birth. I was in the room with her still holding her hand and stroking her gently."Do I look ugly?" she suddenly asked about it.I moved my eyebrows up silently, smiling, and shook my head slowly, denying her words. "It's not at all that you always look beautiful in my eyes, yesterday, today, and whenever; it doesn't matter what happens."My eyes looked at her with a gentle glint, and then my hand moved slowly, caressing her hair. Sarah, who just a few hours ago faced the Biggest Thing in her life, looks very beautiful in my eyes right now. You could say she was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. No woman could match her beauty; she was perfect for me."Does it feel so painful?" I looked at her with a fixed gaze and rubbed her cheeks slowly.The woman lying weakly on the bed shook her head slightly. She still looked helpless. "I'm not sure what it would be l
Ethan's POV"Sarah, what's going on? What happened?" I panicked and rushed into the bathroom after hearing her cry. I found Sarah bracing herself against the wall, visibly in pain, stretching her arms.I quickly turned off the faucet, grabbed a towel, and wrapped it around her. She clung to me, wrapping her arms around my shoulders. "I think I'm having contractions... I think it's time.""Time to give birth?" I looked at her, shocked.Even though we had prepared everything and eagerly anticipated this day, I still felt nervous when it finally arrived. I had researched what to do when Sarah went into labor, preparing myself as best as possible.But what you think and face are two very different things. My mind went utterly blank, overwhelmed with panic and fear. I repeatedly took deep breaths to calm myself as I helped Sarah get dressed."Okay, we’re heading to the hospital now. I’m taking you there." Once she was dressed, I lifted her and carried her downstairs, gently placing her in
Sarah's POVEthan immediately adjusted everything accordingly when I heard that we were having a boy. He called the decorators to prepare the room with a baby boy theme.Blue, white, and yellow dominated his chosen colors for the room's design. "Do you like it?" he glanced at me as I stood at the doorway.Meanwhile, Ethan was inside, moving around to arrange everything. He forbade me from entering, saying the smell of the paint was still too strong and could bother my senses. He was right. Even from a distance, I could still see the pungent paint fumes.I smiled and nodded. "Yes, I love it. I'm sure our little one will love it too. If he knew his dad prepared all of this for him, he’d be so happy."During my pregnancy, Ethan seemed happy, but his emotions during the first and second trimesters were quite complex. He was joyful, yet at the same time, he looked anxious, worried, and full of confusion. He expressed his concerns by forbidding me from doing many things and becoming overly
Sarah POV “Good morning, Miss Sarah. How are you today?” The doctor who regularly manages my pregnancy greeted me with her usual friendly demeanor.I smiled in response. “I’m good, Doctor,” I replied, pulling a chair across from her.The doctor began by reviewing my previous pregnancy reports. “Any complaints recently, Miss? How’s your pregnancy going?” she asked, briefly meeting my gaze before returning to the documents.Lately, there haven't been as many issues as the first and second trimesters. Both those stages were incredibly challenging. In the first trimester, I lost a lot of weight, which caused Ethan to panic.During the second trimester, though the severe nausea had subsided, my body still took a long time to adjust.But now, I could smile and answer, “No complaints, Doctor. Everything’s been fine with the pregnancy lately, though it’s getting a bit hard to move around.”The doctor smiled again. “That’s because the baby is growing healthily, and the weight has increased.”
Sarah POV "It seems we have to head back now," the devil beside me whispered softly, kissing my forehead after he finished his phone call. He had just received another call from Luke. I overheard a bit of it, and it sounded li ke something urgent at the office required Evan's presence. From what I know, they're signing a new project, and it might be the one that needs Ethan's direct attention. Well, to be fair, he's been on vacation for quite a while now. He took time off earlier to care for me after that incident with Diana's appearance. Before that, he also took an extended vacation when we went to an island, thinking I'd get bored staying home. Ethan's been spoiling me in many ways, but it's time for him to return to work. I gently stroked his face. "Yes, besides, we've been on vacation long enough. Have you contacted Elda to tell her not to follow us?" I suddenly remembered our personal chef, Elda, whose cooking made this trip even more delightful. She was never disappointed;
Sarah POV -“Do you not have a good relationship with James?” I turned to him as he opened the door for me.He glanced at me briefly. “Why do you ask?” He guided me inside carefully, still faithfully holding my hand and supporting my body.I shook my head lightly. “It’s nothing, I’m just curious. You two don’t seem to communicate well. Every time you start talking, it sounds like you're trying to punch and counter each other, then move on to the next attack.”I heard him chuckle softly. “Does it really sound like that?”I nodded. “Yes, it sounds like that and it looks like that. But strangely, your conversations go smoothly. You ask, and he answers, explains, and gives information. I thought he was really neglecting Grace.”I sighed, thinking it would have been the worst if that were true. But thankfully, it wasn’t, even though I had already misunderstood James. I thought he wasn’t a good father, but I didn’t know what he’d been through, what he’d done to raise his daughter alone and
