108. (UN)PERFECT COUPLE
Last Updated:
2025-01-21 09:22:36“Where are my purse and sunglasses? Anthony, did you see them?”
“You put them on the living room table a few minutes ago.”
Shanon grimaced softly. Anthony stared at her resentfully by the door, his arms folded in front of his chest. Had they not been in such a rush, Shanon would have happily admired Anthony's impossibly perfect appearance. A white polo shirt, knee-length shorts, and sunglasses perched on his nose were a deadly combination. Shanon was surprised because Anthony didn't look any older, even though Anthony admitted that he was no longer young.
“Why are you just staying there? Hurry up. We will definitely be the last passengers to check in.”
“Oh, I'm sorry,” Shanon hurriedly closed her suitcase and stood up.
“You always do that at the last minute. We can't enjoy the lounge before flying. Tsk, why would I buy a first class flight ticket if we can't taste their dishes?” Anthony gr

It seems like what people say about the first day is always hard, it's true.Avery found her first day babysitting Charlie was hard. She confronted an angry Charlie just minutes after Shanon left the house. It turned out that Charlie was not the sweet baby she thought he was. Charlie burst into tears when he saw his parents going on holiday. Avery would almost call Shanon and tell her to come back if she couldn't calm Charlie down with a bottle of milk and his favorite teddy bear that had always accompanied him to sleep since he was a newborn.Avery felt calm as Charlie sucked milk from his bottle. She thought the first challenge was over and the rest of the day would be something wonderful. But apparently not. Charlie acted annoyingly after his milk ran out. He threw the bottle on the floor and started fussing. Avery was confused about interpreting the meaning of his crying because Charlie couldn't talk yet apart from Mama and Dada. Avery didn't know what the baby wan

Avery suddenly remembered that she had left Charlie with a bowl of hot chicken soup when Jordyn arrived. She thought she'd be back in the kitchen quickly after making sure Shanon's package was delivered to the house. Avery completely forgot to check on Charlie.“Oh my God, Charlie. You spilled soup on your clothes and all over the floor?!”Avery picked up the bowl that had rolled on the floor. The whole floor was full of soup and chicken chunks. Charlie's clothes were soaked, and he smelled of soup. Avery also found several chunks of chicken on the wall. It looked like Charlie was playing with his food while Avery went to see Jordyn.“Yeah, I think Shanon is right to be worried. You really can't take care of her son properly."“Shut up. I've tried hard to do all this. I have no experience with babies, but I want to help Shanon so she can spend intimate time with Anthony.”Avery's eyes filled with tears as she took Char

“I thought tonight we'd have a night by the beach with a starry sky and pretty twinkling candles.”“Whose fault is it that we ended up in this tavern with greasy burgers and dozens of damn men trying to hit on you?”Shanon chuckled and patted the back of Anthony's hand which was lying on the table.“Easy. I'm not complaining, I'm just kidding.”“You obviously can't complain because this is all your fault.”Shanon laughed. She put a piece of greasy onion ring in her mouth, and deliberately chewed it loudly to tease Anthony, who was in a bad mood. Her adorable husband, with tissue-thin patience, looked like he was about to pop an onion ring out of her mouth. And Shanon liked to tease him. She deliberately kicked Anthony's feet under the table, staining his expensive leather shoes with dried mud that stuck to her shoes."Are you happy you managed to piss me off?""Very happy. Smile, Anthony

“Oh, wait a minute. I think I want to... hoeek.”Shanon vomited near the bushes. Her body swayed. It was like she was standing on a giant piece of jelly. Shanon tried to hold on to a tree which was growing wild on the side of the road. Her stomach felt bad after she threw up all her dinner, which Anthony said was unhealthy food.“Oh, no. My greasy burger!”“Come on, Shanon. We have to go back to the hotel.”Anthony half dragged Shanon away from the bushes. The two of them staggered down the deserted street towards their hotel. Two drunk tourists roaming the streets was no longer something strange. But, they made it weird because they kept babbling all the way back to the hotel."Wow, I got drunk with Professor Bruce. It’s amazing," Shanon clapped her hands in a drunken accent."Can you shut your mouth?""Professor, have you ever been drunk before? With your ex?""I wouldn't be that reck

After eating, taking medicine, and sleeping for three hours, Anthony felt better. He woke up and stretched his arms in the air, just like Charlie often did when he woke up. Anthony scanned his entire suite, which felt silent. He swung his legs out of bed and walked out. He found the living room empty and one of Shanon's sandals missing from the shoe rack.Anthony returned to the bedroom. He found a small note on the nightstand that was pressed against his cell phone.I go to the beach to sunbathe.The content of the note was short, concise, and annoying. Anthony crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it in the trash. He hurriedly marched to the bathroom to shower. His mind was filled with bad things about Shanon. His wife went to the beach alone to sunbathe. Anthony was sure that Shanon would become the beach men's meal because she was sunbathing alone and there were no fierce bodyguards around to watch over her.Anthony only s
Last Updated : 2025-01-23FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 114. TALK LATER, KISS NOW
“Has Shanon called you today?”"Not yet. I think she and Anthony are busy having fun and making out at the beach,” Avery turned the page of the magazine and let Jordyn rest her head in her lap.They were relaxing in the tv room with a romantic comedy that they didn't really watch. Avery was busy reading Shanon's fashion magazine, while Jordyn was busy admiring Avery's naturally beautiful face. They were in a calm mode after successfully putting Charlie to sleep.After breakfast, the three of them swam together in the pool. Charlie was very happy when Jordyn taught him to swim. The baby played with water and splashed it in Avery's face every time Avery swam up to him to steal a kiss on his cheek.“Sometimes fate works in strange ways. You never thought that Shanon would marry her own lecturer, and you would end up with me.”Avery lowered the magazine from her face, she looked at Jordyn with furrowed eyebrows."Wh

“We are home. Charlie... Mommy's home, son.”Shanon's screams echoed in the silent house. The suitcase made a lot of noise as she dragged it around the living room. No one greeted her at the main door until she walked into the living room. That made Shanon a little annoyed.“Are you crazy, Shanon? Screaming like a Tarzan?” Anthony scoffed at her sarcastically."No. Of course not. Where is everyone? We brought lots of souvenirs for them. And they didn't welcome us? It's so unbelievable,” Shanon complained.“We arrived at five in the morning. Do you think they're awake?”“They should be awake. Avery knows that our plane lands at four.”“And she didn't bother to greet you when she was still curled up in bed.”Anthony threw himself on the sofa. His arms were stretched across the back of the sofa. He inhaled deeply the sweet aroma of his house and felt at peace. It was Shano

“Thanks, Sarah for responding to my emergency call. Sorry for disturbing you in the midst of your hectic preparations for your wedding with Stevan. I really don't know who else to contact other than you.”“Chill. I'm not very busy today. Hi, my bunny.”Sarah picked up Charlie and carried him. She kissed Charlie's chubby cheek, which was always her favorite, and tickled his stomach with her lips.While Sarah was busy playing with Charlie, Shanon was busy installing Charlie's baby seat into Sarah's car. She went in and out of her house several times to get her bag and Charlie's bag. Shanon wanted to take Charlie's stroller, but then she left it on the porch because she didn't want to carry too many things in Sarah's car."You do look really panicked, eh," Sarah looked at Shanon over Charlie's tiny shoulder.“My departure for New Haven has been changed to the day after tomorrow because of a sudden notification from Yale t

Anthony's voice on the speaker startled her. Shanon hurriedly opened the door wider and asked Jammie to come into the villa. Shanon then turned her back to Jammie to talk to Anthony."I have to go," whispered her.“Hey. Is he one of your friends?”Anthony caught a glimpse of Jammie's face over Shanon's shoulder. Anthony narrowed his eyes suspiciously at his wife's movements.“Yeah, he's one of my friends. I have to find Sarah or Drake to get them to prepare a room for Jammie. I'll call you again tomorrow. Love you.”Shanon sighed softly. She didn't know why she suddenly became that nervous just because Jammie came while she was on a video call with Anthony.“Did I interrupt you with your boyfriend?”Shanon choked up hearing Jammie's voice so close to her ear. She hurriedly turned around and smiled awkwardly. Her face turned red when she was stared at so intensely by Jammie."That was my husba
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 137. SHANON'S EX
Shanon was grateful that she arrived in the dining room on time before dinner started. Shanon was in a bit of a rush to enter the dining room because she was the last one to come into the dining room."You look gorgeous, Shanon.""Thanks, Sarah.""You also look radiant in your soft pink dress."As soon as Shanon's butt landed on the chair, her mouth immediately started drooling at the sight of the very diverse dinner dishes with very precise and appetizing plating. Shanon thought the housekeepers were just ordinary women who worked in the kitchen, but she was wrong. They were great women who graduated from the best culinary arts in Paris."Did you get any sleep?"“I was so excited about exploring my new room that I didn't have time to sleep or laze around in bed like I originally intended. This villa is truly beautiful. I really wish Anthony were here with me.”“Do you want me to call Anthony now and tell him to come

"That's it, my parents' villa."Shanon rubbed her eyes, trying to get rid of the sleepiness that still shadowed her eyelids. The sky outside had turned dark even though the clock was only showing half past four in the afternoon. Shanon thought it was really night, but it wasn't. The sky darkens more quickly in winter. Especially in mountainous areas covered in thick snow and giant trees growing on each side of the slippery main road. Shanon had just realized that the journey was very long and might also be dangerous.“Where is the villa?”“Hey, Shanon. Sleep well?" Sarah smiled at Shanon, as if she was welcoming her daughter who had just woken up.“Sorry. I was stuffed after our last stop and I was bored because there wasn't much to see along the way. Where is the villa?”"Right at the end there," Stevan answered, pointing to a building resembling a palace that stood very firmly right on top of a hill.Shanon ga
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 135. YOU DIRTY MY MIND!
Shanon didn't linger in the bathroom. She took a shower just to warm her body and make her fresh again. She took a sandwich from her special lunch box. The sandwich was still warm even though she had packed it this morning.Sitting cross-legged on the bed in a bathrobe with a can of orange juice and a very tempting sandwich, Shanon was ready to call Anthony. She used a pile of pillows to keep her phone standing facing her.While she waited for Anthony to answer the call, Shanon started devouring her delicious tuna sandwich.“Professor Bruce.”“Where have you been, Shanon?”Being angry was Anthony's habit. Shanon rarely even heard Anthony call her lovingly after they got married.“I'm not from anywhere. I'm here.""Where are you?" Anthony narrowed his eyes, trying to scan the room behind Shanon's body.“Have you arrived at the villa?”“No. We're staying in a motel tonight be

Like déjà vu. They seemed to be repeating the moment they went camping in Savoy Mountain State Forest two years ago. But the difference was that there was no Jordyn among them. Jordyn couldn't join them because he had a basketball tournament coming up soon. The second difference, Stevan and Sarah were in the front seat, while Shanon was crammed with all their belongings in the back seat. The luxury van felt cramped for Shanon with all the party items and suitcases for their one-week stay at Stevan's parents' villa.“Are you okay, Shanon?”“Yeah, I'm still alive if that's what you're worried about,” Shanon raised her thumb lazily.A box containing paper plates and paper cups had just rolled over and hit Shanon's head because Stevan failed to step on the brakes when going through a pothole.“Oh! Can you drive slower?”"Excuse me. I didn't see the potholes.""Honey, you made Shanon get crushed b
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 133. SCHOOL REUNION
Sunday, second week of December, one week before Christmas. Sarah and Shanon curled up in a warm corner of Jerry's café with two cups of lattes and two of Jerry's famously delicious triple chocolate cupcakes. The aroma of coffee wafts everywhere throughout the café. Shanon occasionally rubbed her frozen palms from running through the snow from the supermarket parking lot one hundred and fifty meters away, in order to enjoy Jerry's best latte and his legendary cupcakes.“They should provide a bigger parking lot than a plot of land that can only fit five cars.”“I told you to come here by taxi because you definitely won't get a parking space here. This is their rush hour. Many students hang out here before they spend the Christmas holidays with their respective families."While sipping her latte, Sarah raised her index finger to interrupt Shanon, who was just about to say something to her.“Plus, this week they just fin

Shanon grabbed Anthony's cellphone, while Anthony took Charlie from Shanon's arms."Hi newlyweds,” Shanon greeted crisply. Her tiredness eased a little when she heard Sarah's giggling voice on the other side."Tsk, why can't I call your cell phone? Did you throw it into the sea, huh?"Shanon laughed. She followed Anthony to his car while still holding the cell phone to her ear."Sorry, lowbatt. You won't believe that I just went on an adventure like Dora. My phone was on for hours because I needed it to open the map application.""Wow, I'm really tempted to hear about the excitement of your adventure, but I don't have much time. Yeah, Stevan has been waiting for me for dinner. We should have talked an hour ago, but your cell phone died.""Sorry about that. What makes you want to talk to me so badly right now?""Actually I prefer to discuss it face to face with you. Next week I want to meet you.""I have exams. I will be i
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 131. HAPPY OR...
“Charlie!”Shanon ran hastily up the steps in front of her house. She opened the door to her house with her spare key. She didn't see Anthony's car parked in the garage, but she was sure Charlie was home. Anthony couldn't possibly take his son to campus. Anthony always had a few minions he would tell to watch Charlie at home, instead of taking his son to college, which would risk messing up his perfect schedule."Charlie... Where are you, kid?"Shanon was greeted with an odd silence in her house. Though, she hoped to meet Ben. Ben was the only one who could take care of Charlie when Avery and Sarah were not there.Shanon went to the kitchen. Her breath caught in her throat, finding all the mess Anthony had left behind. Froot Loops were scattered on the floor, milk was spilled, and Charlie's baby chair was left on its side next to the bar counter. Shanon couldn't stop the bad thoughts from cramming into her brain.But when she turned tow
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 130. BE A GOOD BOY
The first class finished smoothly. The drool-filled teddy throw did not develop into any disaster. For the first thirty minutes, Charlie listened to Anthony's lecture as his students did. An hour and a half later, Charlie was sleeping peacefully in his stroller. He was probably full after finishing a bottle of milk and some fruit.Anthony pushed Charlie's stroller towards his office. The stares of everyone who saw him walking with a stroller were no longer a big problem. It wasn't as scary as he initially thought. In fact, he no longer cared what was in the heads of his students or staff who saw him with a baby.So fucking what?!Charlie was his son. And he was a proud father.“Daddy...”“Hey, little boy. Sleep well, huh?”Anthony got Charlie out of his stroller and carried him to the couch. Charlie was still a little lazy after waking up. He curled up in Anthony's arms, who was sitting back on the sofa.
