S2| 25. Sebastian's Sincerity
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Hey, feeling better?" Sebastian asked as Amber lift her head from bed.
Nodding languidly, the woman held her arid neck, "I want a drink."
Sebastian got her a glass of water. As the pregnant woman moistened her throat, he rubbed her head gently. "You don’t have fever anymore," he murmured in relief.
Wiping her mouth, Amber lowered her gaze. She did not want her sadness to be seen. "Thank you, Bas. I was able to get past this problem thanks to your help.”
"I didn't do anything, Amber," Sebastian sighed as he put the glass back on the table. Then, with faintly furrowed brows, he stared intently at his friend. "But, are you sure this problem is over?"
The woman was silent for a moment. Doubt had weighed on her mind.
“Adam must have thought I have turned to you. He won't dare ask me to come back to him again," she answered doubtfully.
“Is that how your problem can be considered over? You two are still husband and wife,” Sebastian i

As soon as she opened the door, Amber stared into the void. There was no one kneeling there. There was only cold air and snow around the villa. "Adam?" she called in a trembling voice. Bad thoughts had filled her head. What if her husband could not handle the heartbreak? What if the panic attack came? Or worse, what if the man was reckless again? "No, Adam can't hurt himself," Amber sighed as she shook her head away from the fear. After swallowing the bitterness, she took a step following her intuition. "Adam? Adam!" Unfortunately, no one answered. While panting, Amber continued to look around. However, the husband was nowhere to be seen. She did not know whether to be worried or relieved that her husband wasn't lying in the yard until suddenly, her eyes recognized the car parked beside her mother's. "Jewel?" Getting a glimmer of hope, the corners of Amber's lips let go of the burden. Wasting no time, the pregnant woman peered through the driv

"I'm sorry, Jewel. I also don't understand why I could be so rude to you. If only I had listened to it from the start, you wouldn't have had such mild hypothermia and we're still holding on to the evidence,” Amber said before biting her lip to hold back tears. Adam laughed lightly. Even without a sound, he was able to stem his wife's cries. "Why are you laughing? What is so funny? This is a serious matter, Jewel. Now we have no evidence against your brother," Amber said seriously. "You don't have to worry, Precious. Everything has been carefully considered. Now, let's relax for a moment. I haven't hugged you like this in a long time," the man said as he pressed his wife's head to his shoulder. However, not even two seconds passed, Amber looked up again. “You can relax while others are enjoying the results of your hard work?” Understanding that anxiety, Adam forced his body to sit on bed. However, instead of conveying a solution, he rubbed his

"How many times do I have to tell you? You don't have to feel guilty, Amber. My current state is just part of the cycle of life.” A second later, Sebastian pointed at the window. The curve of his lips turned wider. "Isn't that when the sun shines, the world will be bright again? And at some point, the snow will melt and the flowers will bloom.” After taking a deep breath, the man nodded faintly. His gaze drifted further and further away. "I'm sure my heart will also be beautiful and bright again someday. I just need to wait for the right person at the right time.” Hearing the optimistic tone, Amber no longer lowered her head. A small smile appeared on her face. "I hope you find your sun soon, Bas." “I also hope so,” Sebastian replied before giving her his best smile. Perhaps, that was the last time he looked at Amber with full sincerity. Having had enough, Sebastian furrowed his brows and looked the other way. He did not want Amber to

Adam laughed lightly when he saw the phone in front of him. After three days had passed, what he had predicted finally came true. Almost all business news portals talked about Smith Company getting closer to collapse. “Look, Precious! We won by a landslide. Ed doesn't dare to appear in front of the camera anymore. He must be confused about the consequences of his bad deeds,” Adam muttered as he rubbed the woman's arm that rested on his shoulder. Instead of laughing, Amber sighed faintly. Her brows furrowed and her hands just stroked her stomach. Noticing the silence, Adam glanced over. When he found his wife's anxiety, he immediately lowered the cell phone and straightened his back. "What is it, Precious? Why are you gloomy? Are you disappointed that we didn't go on our honeymoon yet?” he asked, stroking the pale cheek. "No, that's not it," Amber said languidly. A second later, she moved her back to lean on the couch. "I'm just confused. Are w

"What are you going to do, huh?" Mrs. Smith rebuked between her roaring breaths. "You want to stay still? Watching your family's suffering while laughing happily? Are you heartless or what?” Adam closed his eyes to suppress the anger. There was still some patience left in him. He realized that common sense had to be maintained even though his heart had turned into pieces. "Why are you silent? Answer your mother! Stop pretending to be innocent! This is all your fault, Adam, your fault!” "Why do you always blame me?" the man finally held his head up. His bloodshot eyes no longer concealed sadness. "It's clear that Ed was the one at fault. He stole my concept and claimed that our relationship had improved. While in fact, you know yourself how he treats me." “Ed couldn't have done it if you had gone back a long time ago! Haven't you realized yet? Since you ran away, the company has faltered. The mess you left behind is too hard to handle. Your poor brothe

Amber went to the kitchen with hasty steps. Her hands gripped the phone tightly, while her eyes were wide looking for Adam. Her slightly opened mouth was ready to call out to her husband. However, as soon as she found the man motionless facing the sink, her enthusiasm subsided. Her shoulders were no longer high and her breaths turned into faint puffs. "Is Adam daydreaming again?" Confused, Amber started biting her lip. Only after one quick sigh did she put the phone on the table and come to his husband. "The plate will become transparent if you keep rubbing it." Adam flinched at his wife's soft voice. Blinking, he looked up with his eyebrows raised high. “Precious, why are you here? Are you still hungry? Your dinner isn’t enough?" Amber shook her head with a wry smile. "No, I'm just wondering what took you so long. Look, your fingers have been wrinkled." Carefully, she took the plate and napkin from her husband's hand then put them in the righ

“Adam,” Amber whispered as she shook her husband's shoulder, “Adam!” With a small groan, Adam forced himself to open his eyes. "What is it, Precious? Didn't we plan to wake up late today?” “Yes, but it's an emergency! You know who knocked on the door?" In an instant, the man's expression turned serious. "Someone knocked on the door? Who?" “The reporters! I don't know who gave them our address. They're already lined up out there," Amber explained in a low, stressed voice. Instead of getting nervous, Adam deepened the furrow of his eyebrows. "Then, why are you panicking?" The pregnant woman fell silent. As she tilted her head back, she blinked. "All this time, you don't want our house to be known by the public. You want a quiet life, right?” Adam unexpectedly smiled. His face looked sincere and carefree. "We can't hide forever, Precious. Let's face them! Once this matter is over, I'm sure they won't bother us anymore.” "Are you sure you're okay with it?" Amber asked doubtfully.

"So, what do you want for breakfast this morning?" Adam asked after closing the door. Taking off her coat, Amber blinked. "Anything is fine." "But, I want to make a special meal. Think of it as a small celebration of the smooth running of the interview," the man explained while helping his wife take off her winter attributes. "Then make me some asparagus soup!" Amber raised her index finger with sparkling eyes. Looking at that bright face, Adam grimaced. "No asparagus in the kitchen. How about broccoli soup?" "That's okay too." "Okay, please wait a moment, My Queen. Your special breakfast will be served soon," Adam said before kissing the back of his wife's hand. After taking off his coat and gloves, he rushed into the kitchen. "Adam is so sweet," Amber thought as she watched her husband's back move away. She felt lucky the matter passed quickly. However, before her smile faded, a knock on the door was heard again. Thin

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
