"Daddy?" Amber sighed, choking with horror. Before Mr. Lim could move, she quickly closed the door and turned the key.

"Amber, what are you doing?" her mother asked in surprise.

"No! I won't let Daddy hurt Adam again!" the daughter cried breathlessly. Her hands were outstretched against the door, just in case someone broke in.

Understanding that fear, Adam approached and stroked Amber’s head gently. "Calm down, Precious. Your father must have come to pick up your mother, not to make a fuss. Now let your mother out."

“And let them in to beat you unconscious?” Amber refuted with a painful look. “No!”

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door from outside. A second later, Mister Lim's voice propagated through the air. "Is this your way of honoring your parents? Where is your respect, Amber?"

"I don't need to respect people who don't respect Adam," Amber replied in a higher tone.

"That widower has turned you into a disobedient daughter, huh?" Mister Lim quipped before banging o

    "Why did my father leave the map?" Amber sighed, blinking at Adam. “I don’t know.” With the same confusion, he took the folder and examined the file that he had not read thoroughly before. "A letter of transfer of assets from Adam Smith to ... Amber Lim?" Hearing that information, Amber quickly approached. With round eyes, she checked for herself what was written there. "This is an agreement between us? Not between you and the company?" As her mind could not find the answer, Amber grabbed the file and ran outside. "Daddy!" In an instant, Mister Lim stopped walking and looked back. "What is the meaning of all this? Explain it to me!" Amber cried as she held up the file in her hand. With a relaxed look, the old man turned and folded his arms behind his waist. "There is nothing to explain. It's all written in the letter." "You transferred Adam's wealth to me. Why?" As the man in question put the coat on Amber's shoulders, Mr. Lim let out a long sigh and looked away. "Giving my d

    Seeing Ruby's name in the inbox, Adam caught his breath. His nerves were tense, while his heart was covered by anxiety. After swallowing hard, only then he was able to break the ice. "I don't know why this woman texted me again," he said flatly. "Do you want to read it?" Amber asked as she turned around with a doubtful look. After a moment of silence, Adam shook his head and grabbed the mouse. "She's not important anymore." However, just as he was about to permanently delete the message, Amber held his hand. "Wait, Adam ...." The man suddenly flinched. He did not expect that his lover would stop his action. "What is it, Precious?" "I don't think deleting the message will solve the problem. She will still try to contact you," Amber said between doubts. "Do you want me to reply this?" Adam concluded with eyes open to the max. He was like witnessing a miracle. Gripping in the fear, Amber lifted her chin. "Yes. We promise to face problems together, right? We're no longer hiding or

    Smiling broadly, a toddler with a bow tie threw flowers from a little basket. After taking a step forward, he repeated the movement and laughed. "Mamamama ..." he babbled as he looked at the beautiful woman on the edge of the carpet. His index finger pointed at the flower petals near his tiny shoes. "That's right. You're great, Little Prince. Keep doing that until that point," Gabriella pointed at Adam. Understanding the command, the toddler put his hand back into the basket. After grasping more, he jumped and threw with all his might. The flower petals then fell on his head and face. "God .... Why is Cayden Evans so cute? I want to take him home as my brother," Freja said as she clenched her fists beside her face. "We're lucky to see his hilarious act live. Didn't he last throw flowers for his uncle and auntie's wedding?" Ella replied without lowering the camera in her hand. "You both know that toddler?" Hearing her father's voice from behind, Freja turned around with round eye

    "Jealous?" Sebastian furrowed an eyebrow. After a grunt, he shook his head. "Of course not. I've moved on." "Yayayayaya," Cayden croaked, pointing a finger at his uncle. His eyebrows were raised high as if mocking. Sensing that doubt, Sebastian's eyes widened. "You don't believe me?" While the toddler covered his laughter with hands, the uncle turned around to face him. "Come on, Cayden. Someday, you'll understand that love is not something to be won, but to be met. We shouldn't waste energy chasing a woman who isn't our soul mate." "So, you have given up on Amber?" Gabriella concluded without stopping to stroke her son's head. Not expecting such a question again, Sebastian gave a small grin. Crossing his arms in front of his chest, he leaned back again. "If only I knew you were going to make fun of me like this, I wouldn't have let Amber tell you." Before the others could reply, he quickly jerked his chin forward. "Look, they'll be exchanging rings soon. I don't want to miss th

    Feeling anxious, Adam spontaneously pulled Amber's waist to cling to him. Then, raising an eyebrow, he lifted his chin slightly. "Is there something wrong? It's our wedding day. It's only natural that we look affectionate." Getting that kind of response, Sebastian snorted. His feet stopped a few steps in front of the bride. “Without showing any affection, everyone here knows you are married. Are you sure that kiss was just an expression of affection? Not to inflame me?” Sensing the tension between the two men, everyone stood still. No one dared move or make a sound until Gabriella suddenly pinched an ear of her husband's cousin. “Stop causing trouble, Sebastian! Don't embarrass the Evans family. Now congratulate Amber and Adam!” In an instant, the troublemaker grimaced and held Gabriella's hand. His head tilted and his body arched to compensate for the pain. "Geez, Gaby! I'm just kidding. Stop displaying violence in front of your son!” Holding back a laugh, Max took Cayden from h

    “Adam, don't waste your energy. Quickly put me down! I can walk alone,” Amber tugged at her husband's coat. Instead of obeying, the man continued walking towards the cottage. "I can't. This is our special day. I have to provide extra services for my beloved wife.” “If you want to provide extra service, just do it tonight. Now, you better save some energy. You get what I mean, don't you?" Amber whispered before putting on a meaningful smile. Hearing the seductive tone, Adam's heart was tickled. While laughing faintly, he glanced over with narrowed eyes. "You don't have to worry, Precious. I've saved a lot of energy for today. Now, prepare to enter our palace!” A second later, Adam lifted his wife higher. Not expecting that movement, Amber spontaneously screamed. “Adam, be careful! Don't forget our baby in my tummy!” "Relax. I won't let you fall. You better open the door quickly now," Adam sighed as he brought his wife's hand to the keyhole. "Why hurry?" Amber slowed her movement.

    "Adam," Amber sighed as she straightened her back. With round eyes, she blinked tensely. "Someone is spying on us." In an instant, all the cells in Adam's body were filled with tension. With a similar arch of eyebrows, he whispered, "How do you know?" Through eye movements, Amber pointed to the window behind her husband's back. "I think that person is recording us." "Even now?" The man dared not look back. After checking once more, Amber nodded. "Still. What should we do?" Unexpectedly, Adam got up and put his lips to her ear. “Just wait here and pretend you don't know. I will secretly ambush him.” With a tense expression, Amber let Adam walk into the kitchen. She knew her husband must be planning to go out through the back window. "I hope it's not a bad person. May no danger befall Adam." Her lips kept whispering prayers until suddenly, her husband's voice boomed. "Who are you? Why are you spying on us?” Like a runner hearing the gunshot, Amber rushed outside. Adam turned ou

    “Look, Adam! Now the whole world knows what my latest lingerie model is. Why did you lift it that high?” Amber grumbled when she saw the photo that went viral in media for adults. "I didn't know that greedy woman still dared to record us," Adam answered innocently. A second later, he put his arms around the woman who was sitting in front of the computer. "Come on, Precious. Don't be angry! At least she didn’t spread our videos on the couch. You know it's really hot, right?" Amber spontaneously glanced with furrowed eyebrows. Some of her annoyance had been replaced by anxiety. “Is it possible that she’s waiting for someone who dares to pay dearly for our video?" “You think that greedy woman actually recorded that moment?” Adam asked, tilting his head back. He did not expect that his wife would have that idea. "I'm just kidding, Precious. She can be arrested for pornography if she spreads our video.” "That might happen. She’s the type of person who justifies any means to get an advan

    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
