"If it's not valuable, it's impossible for archaeologists being excited to find it. You offended them, Miss Lim,” Adam muttered while still playing with his apprentice's black hair. "That's a different case. They look for amber to study dinosaurs and other ancient creatures, not for jewelry. Either way, a stone can never match a diamond." A second later, Amber pushed harder. “Now let me go! I'm hungry and it's time for lunch." Suddenly, Adam grabbed one of her hands and brought his head forward. "Do you know why your parents gave you that name?" "Why?" the woman replied fiercely. "You and that stone are both sensitive and brittle." Amber's annoyance suddenly exploded. "Are you making fun of me?" She tried to sound fierce even though her heart was still pounding with nervousness. "Just telling the truth," Adam sighed as he closed the distance. The woman could then feel his breath. "But, on the other hand, both of you are attractive." Unexpectedly, the man landed a kiss on Amber'
Mister Smith pushed Amber little by little into the bedroom. When he laid her down on the bed, the woman gasped. "Adam ..." Before Amber could speak, the man kept her mouth shut again. The drum beat in her chest spontaneously grew louder. “This is bad,” the helpless woman thought. "I can’t tolerate it anymore. Come on, Amber. This Crazy Bear doesn't love you. He's just a lonely man and right now, he’s using you." With all her might, Miss Lim went against the will of her heart. "Adam—" Mr. Smith didn't let her off the hook. His hand instead moved to the south. Before the Crazy Bear reached the destination, Amber looked up to free her mouth. "Adam, stop it!" The man suddenly opened his eyes. His panting breaths were smoldering in the woman's neck. After a few blinks, he finally looked up. When he caught the desperate in Amber's eyes, he quickly got up and clutched his head. "I'm sorry," the man sighed, sitting on the edge of the bed. After a few breaths, he walked over and stopped
Amber was awakened by the warmth tickling her neck. Every now and then, the softness moved to her shoulder, making her spoiled and reluctant to open the eyes. Massage near the heart also added comfort. It was only when something entered the southern part that the woman ended the sleep. Her own moans had gathered the whole consciousness. "Good morning, Sleepyhead," Adam whispered without removing his finger. Gently, he kissed Amber's red cheek. "Did we do it again?" the woman asked hoarsely. "Yes. You want to scold me again?” The man raised an eyebrow and smoothed the movement. However, the woman closed her eyes and made that thrilling voice again. "No, it's all happened. We can’t undo it," Amber sighed before turning around and looking at Adam more closely. "What magic did you use on me?" While smiling lopsidedly, the Crazy Bear tickled Amber's ear with his breath. "You're the one who uses magic on me. I can't get you out of my mind." The woman spontaneously snorted. "Do you rea
"Tsk, this guy again." Adam snorted in disgust. "Who?" The woman looked over the stocky back. “Your fiancé,” Mister Cold replied curtly. Detecting the man's annoyance, Amber smiled. “Stop calling Sebastian my fiancé. We're just friends." Tilting her head, she checked Adam's face from a clearer angle. "So, can I receive the call?" “Why are you asking my permission? Am I your husband?" Mr. Cold said, sounding a bit childish. Spontaneous laughter escaped from the woman's mouth. “You are my teacher and now, we are in learning. That's why I ask for your permission. So, is it okay or not?” "Just do it," Mr. Smith answered while straightening his back. He knew that his position made it difficult for Amber to reach the cell phone. Secretly, he wished the ringing tone would end before she could receive it. "I won't be long," Amber whispered as she patted Adam's arm. In just an instant, the woman managed to grab the phone and ran out of the room. “Why does she go outside for that call?
"Where are we going? Shouldn't I finish the task?" the apprentice asked with stiff expression. "Amber, do you believe me?" Getting a question in reply, the woman's eyebrows rose. "Why did you ask it?" "Just answer me. Do you believe me or not?" Adam urged with his head slightly tilted. He wanted his sincerity to be seen. However, Amber was still suspicious. She couldn’t guess what Mr. Smith was planning. "Yes," she answered halfheartedly. A second later, the man held out a blindfold. "Then use this." Seeing the black cloth, Amber spontaneously frowned. "Where did you get this from?" "Don't worry. It's clean and smells good. Put it on!" Adam handed the blindfold into the woman's hand. However, instead of obeying, Amber squinted. "You aren't planning on taking me to the lake and then pushing me into the pool, right? Remember! I'm weak against low temperatures." The man's laughter instantly added to the confusion. "Take it easy. I'm not Mister Cold anymore." "Then why do you fo
"Are you sure you'd do anything for me?" Amber raised one of her brows slightly. "Yes. Trust me." Adam held the woman's shoulders and leveled his gaze. "I'll make you a queen.” “Can you prove it to me? I want you to experience what I felt when you bullied me first," Amber replied casually since she felt she had the upper hand. "No problem. I deserve it. Please do as you wish." Mr. Cold spread his arms. He seemed to have surrendered to all kinds of treatment. “Then,” the woman sighed before smiling crookedly, “take this!” With all her might, Amber pushed Adam's shoulder. However, instead of seeing the man fall, she bounced back and landed in a pile of snow. "Ah!" Witnessing the woman's silliness, Mr. Smith almost burst out laughing. "Hey, are you okay?" With a sullen face, Amber tried to get up. "Why did you fight back?" "I didn't fight back. Don't you see? I've given up." The man hid his smile while pulling the woman's elbows. "Don't stretch your legs! You have to pretend you'
Adam’s his face turned pale as the cold sweat rushed out. The past was flooding his mind. There was almost no place for Amber to reign. "Why does she contact me now?" he mumbled before closing his eyes. The crack he thought had vanished from his heart, gaped wide again. The pain felt like crushing his body. “She could text me two years ago or months ago, but why now?” Suddenly, Amber pushed the door and stepped inside. Adam gasped and opened his eyes. With full awareness, his hand could be moved again. In a flash, he deleted the message that was no longer expected. “Aren't I on time? We only chatted for two and a half minutes,” Amber said casually. Wasting no time, Adam dried the evidence of grief. After filling his lungs with fresher air, he got up from the chair and embraced his new lover immediately. "I love you, Amber. I love you so much," he whispered, sounding very desperate. Receiving that sudden treatment, the woman turned still. With round eyes, she observed the situati
Adam's breath was thundering. Memories swirling in his brain successfully gouged the old wound. The burning sensation in his chest could no longer be suppressed. With bloodshot eyes, he stared at the name on the computer screen. "Why did you come back when I already managed to forget?" the man thought as he gripped the mouse tighter. "Can't you release me from your shadow?" After taking a deep breath, Adam began to shift the cursor. However, instead of clicking on the delete button, he opened the message. "Dear Adam, Why didn't you reply to my message? Have you erased me from your memory? Or put a new girl in your heart? Can you change the direction of your light already? I know you're disappointed in me. But, I always hope you have forgiven me. I can't stop thinking about you these days. I regret my decision. The days after you were very dim. Is it wrong if I expect you to come back to me? I was so stupid to have thrown
Amber quietly opened the workroom door. Seeing her husband was daydreaming, she lifted the corner of her lips. "What are you doing, Jewel?" Adam spontaneously turned to the direction of the voice. Knowing the presence of his wife, his smile grew wider. "Hey .... Is Ashley sleeping?" "Yes," Amber answered while approaching. Then, casually, she sat on her husband's lap. "Why are you still here? Is your work not done yet?" As Adam rubbed the back of his neck, Amber began to investigate the table. Turned out, the computer had been off. The files were also neatly organized in the folders. What’s left there was only a cell phone displaying an image. "You really like that picture, hmm?" Amber concluded while glancing sweetly. Spotted by those warm eyes, Adam let out a smile. After kissing Amber’s shoulder, he nodded. "It's all thanks to you. I wouldn't have been able to fix my relationship with Mother if you didn't follow us." "I didn't do anything. When I got there, you guys have been
"I know you must have doubted what I said," Mrs. Smith cried, breaking the silence. "Is there something I have to do to prove my point? Your mother really wants to change, Adam." Still with furrowed brows, the man snorted. "Why only now? Is it because Ed abandoned you?" Mrs. Smith shook her head briskly. "No, don't get me wrong. The tension between us has nothing to do with Ed. I was too stupid to use him to take all yours." "Non sense ...." "Do you know that Ed scolded me? He's tired of being dragged down by my selfishness. Your brother said he didn't want to help me bully you anymore." Before Adam could object, Mrs. Smith continued. "Since then, I've started to realize. But, I still convince myself that you don't deserve to be happy. Your mother is very stupid, hmm?" Adam suddenly fell silent. From under the frown, he looked intently at his mother. “Why should I believe?” "I haven't even used a penny of your money, Adam. I feel guilty every time I see your transfer papers. Sh
After his mother slammed the door, Adam rubbed Amber's arm. Noticing his wife's disheveled look, he whispered, "Are you all right?" The woman nodded. "Yeah, you?" Adam took a deep breath. After raising an eyebrow, he curled up his lips. "Yeah. I'm glad nothing happened. I was afraid my mother would do something reckless. Sorry for letting her carry Ashley." "It's okay, Jewel. I think Ashley is happy to have met her grandmother," Amber said while stroking her daughter's head. The little baby had closed her eyes again. She seemed so peaceful. "Look, she's smiling again." "She must want to cheer you up," Adam whispered before landing a soft kiss on Ashley's forehead. "Not only me, but you too. We are lucky to have such a kind baby. This must be your good karma. You remain patient with your mother, even though she has been hurt you many times." Disagreeing, Adam shook his head. "Your sweet karma too, Precious. You are much more filial to your parents. Anyway, they are coming here, r
As the silence was hanging in the air, people in that room were exchanging glances. No one dared to speak until Ruby broke the silence. "May I carry her?" "Of course," Amber answered, patting Adam's arm. Understanding the code given, Adam took Ashley out of her tiny bed. As soon as the adorable baby arrived in Ruby's arms, all eyes started to tear up. "Hey, look at this tiny face! Why are you so cute, Ashley?" Ruby whispered in a trembling voice. The emotion almost pushed the tears out of bounds. "This pretty nose is very similar to Amber's, while these thin lips ... a hundred percent copy of her father." As that woman studied every detail of the baby, Amber asked lightly, "Would you like to take a picture with Ashley?" In an instant, Ruby's wistful eyes were tinged with shock. "Is it okay? Didn't you two agree not to publish your daughter's face?" "Take the photo as a keepsake. You can print it and store it in your wallet or diary," Amber said, glancing at Nick. Realizing the
“Hurry up! I can’t stand it anymore!" Amber shouted while squeezing her husband's clothes. Panic, Adam started to circle around the yard. Maybe he dropped the key somewhere. Meanwhile, Nick was busy groping his own body. When his hand pressed against his trouser pocket, his eyes widened perfectly. "Shall we just take my car?" the fat man suggested while showing his car keys. Still out of breath, Amber turned to the vehicle parked beside Adam's car. "You think I weigh up to a ton? People must be laughing when they see you take me in that truck!" she grumbled in a shrill voice. Nick spontaneously grimaced at it. "Sorry, Madam. It's not a truck, but a mini box van for dry cargo. I use it to deliver jewelry." "You have nothing to be ashamed of, Precious," Adam continued with a reassuring nod. "The car is used to carrying valuables." Suddenly, Amber closed her eyes again. The pain that twisted in her stomach grew crazier. "Okay! Quickly tak
"Hello, Mrs. Smith. How are you feeling?" Nick said when welcoming Amber to his house. He secretly felt proud to see his whistle hanging around the woman's neck. "Very well. We’re sorry to bother you, Nick. It's actually one week earlier than the doctor predicted. But Adam keeps insisting that we should stay at your house." Seeing Amber's guilty expression, Nick chuckled. "It’s not a problem at all. What the boss thinks is true. It's best if we are on guard. The hospital is too far from your cottage." "You're a wise man, Nick," Adam said while carrying three large bags he'd pulled from the trunk. “Seems like, I’ve put my trust in the right person.” Once again, the fat man chuckled. Taking one of the bags from Adam's hand, he waved. "Come on! Let me show you your room! I’ve asked Tina to clean it this morning." As Nick led the way, Amber leaned toward her husband. "Who's Tina?" "I don't know. Maybe, his new girlfriend," Adam replied wit
"I’m sincere," Amber nodded swiftly. "It's just I regret their attitude that never changes. I can’t tell how long they will stand to make you suffer." Smiling a little, Adam stroked her cheek. Now that he had known the reason, his love to her grew larger. "Don't worry! I'm sure they won't ask for anything more after this. I've got nothing for them to grab." "What about our house? Should we apply for a transfer of assets? I think it would be safer if the certificate was registered in my name." Stifling a laugh, Adam nodded. He knew that half of Amber's heart was actually not willing to see him sacrifice so much. "That's why, I insisted on handing over the company to you. But you kept refusing." "I don't want people to think of you as a slave to my love, Jewel. It’s not normal for a man giving all his wealth to his wife? He’ll be called a stupid man. I don't want you to be branded like that." Thinking that Amber was so adorable, Adam kissed the tip of her nose. "I have no problem
"Now it's my turn to give you a gift," Ruby said awkwardly. "A gift? When did you prepare it? You spent most of the time in bed," Amber asked wide-eyed. "Online shopping is not something difficult," Ruby said before smiling faintly. Without further ado, she handed her the box. "Take this as an apology as well as my thanks. You may open it now." After giving Adam her whistle, the pregnant woman lifted the lid of the box. As soon as she found a neatly folded red knitted cloth, she let out a faint sigh. "Is this a form of protest because we threw away the white sweater you gave Adam?" "Otherwise, I want to bury bad memories about it. I hope a new sweater could remind you of the new me." "Well then, from this moment on, Adam and I will make lots of sweet memories with this sweater," Amber said as she took out the gift from the box. However, a second later, the curve of her lips froze. Turned out, there was another sweater in the box. "You
"Hey," Amber said, reluctant to call her brother-in-law’s name, "Ruby wants to talk to you." In an instant, Ed's eyes widened. Without further ado, he entered through the gap between Amber and the door. "Has Ruby changed her mind?" Adam inquired as he rose from his seat. After closing the door, he guided his wife to sit down carefully. "No." Confused, the man's eyebrows arched perfectly. "So?" "Ruby wants to end their relationship as soon as possible. That way, she can stay at Mr. Berg's residence without any worries," Amber explained before raising an eyebrow. "How about you? Did something happen while I was inside?" Lifting the corners of his lips, Adam kissed his wife's hand. "Believe it or not, I feel nothing. Yes, I'm annoyed to see Ed. But knowing he's got what he deserves, I don't feel relieved either, like nothing's changed." "Because no matter what happens to them, our lives will still be the same?" "Yes." As h
