“Yeah, we've discussed that before.”
“This time with the confidence that it is mine.”
“And what's the problem?”
Anthony looked at Doctor Jarvis like, seriously? Why are you asking me questions that I don't know the answer to?
“I was hoping you could give me the answer, doc.”
“You are the source of the problem itself. That's my answer.”
"Thanks, but that doesn't help at all."
“Of course, it helps you to solve your problems. You can introspect yourself. Only you know yourself well.”
“I'm trying. But it never worked.”
Suddenly, the comfortable leather chair became uncomfortable. It was as if he was sitting on a chair filled with sharp thorns. Anthony shifted restlessly in his chair. He had a panic attack when he tried to think about future plans for Shanon and their future baby.
“I am a destroye

Anthony glanced at his watch, and it was indeed time for dinner. It couldn't be denied that he missed Shanon's cooking and the warm atmosphere of dinner at the dining table. Lately, he always ate at restaurants because he was sick of eating dinner alone in his very quiet house. He used to think it was normal. But, since Shanon came into his life, having dinner alone in his quiet house became very abnormal."Okay. It's best if you don't owe me a favor."Anthony stepped out first and ran around to open the door for Shanon. Anthony used his jacket to protect Shanon's body from the rain because Shanon's yard didn't have a canopy.That was the first time Anthony had entered Shanon's house. He had never seen the inside of the house because, in the past, he only talked to Yvone at the door. After passing through the main door, Anthony found a living room with a set of ivory sofas and a colorful, flower-patterned carpet usually sold at Ikea. The walls around the living

Two days later, everything was back to normal. Shanon and Avery decided to end their cold war after more than twenty-four hours of ceasefire. They didn't chat with each other at breakfast. Throwing insults at each other about who was stupid and who was naive for bringing Anthony home. Shanon avoided Avery when Avery was at home and didn't want to talk to her at all. Avery felt she was innocent, and she didn't want to be blamed by Avery.After a day living like hell, Avery began to realize that she was wrong. She had treated Anthony harshly when he had done nothing wrong. She felt bad because she had kicked out someone who had escorted her sister home safely in the middle of a rainstorm that pounded Boston.In the morning at breakfast, Avery deliberately waited for Shanon to come down to the dining table. She spoke as an older sister who had done wrong to her sister and she apologized. Avery explained that she came home in a bad condition. One of her customers stole sev

There was no response from inside after a while. Shanon tried to push the door open. The room was pitch dark. There were no lights on in the room and the curtains were drawn tightly. Shanon put her paperbag on the table. Her gaze focused on the mound under the blanket."What are you doing here?"Shanon gasped in surprise at hearing Anthony's hoarse voice under the blanket. The mound under the blanket began to move. Shanon then pressed the light switch. A very dazzling light illuminated the entire room.“Turn off the damn lights. You're going to blind me, huh?”Shanon ignored the whining and walked over to him. Anthony rolled himself under the blanket like a baby. He shivered from the cold, but tried to move away when Shanon touched his forehead."You have a fever?"Shanon's palms felt cool against his hot skin. Anthony never imagined Shanon would see him in such an embarrassing state due to illness."This must be because y

When he woke up, Anthony found his room pitch black. The curtains were still wide open and swaying gently in the wind. The sky outside had turned pitch black with a few stars.Anthony swung his legs out of bed. He walked to the bathroom to wash his face and rinse his mouth. His entire mouth tasted bitter. He dried his face with a towel and looked at his reflection in the mirror. Shanon was right, that he was very messy and pale. He had very dark eye bags hanging under his.Anthony then decided to take a shower. Two days without water, he was like an ornamental plant that was about to wilt. Anthony washed his sticky hair, he shaved, and he changed Shanon's dad's clothes into a comfortable pair of his own pajamas.Half an hour later, Anthony was sitting alone in the kitchen. He felt much better than he had this morning when he opened his eyes. Again, Shanon was right that she would feel better when she woke up after taking the medicine. But if it weren't for Shano

"Oh, are you her husband?""Yes. She is my wife," Anthony pretended to put his arm around Shanon's shoulder.“I'm sorry darling, it's hard to get a parking space here.”“O-oh, I'm fine.”Shanon slowly removed Anthony's arm from her shoulders. She ignored Anthony's growl of protest and pretended to be busy answering questions from the receptionist to fill in the personal data form."Okay, I will call your name when it's your turn. Please sit in the waiting chair.""Thank You."Shanon walked towards the row of waiting chairs, still ignoring Anthony who was following her angrily.“Seriously, are you ignoring me?”“What are you doing here, Anthony?”"What do you think?""I don't know. You suddenly appeared and chose an obgyn for me as if you had the right to do so. Seriously?"“I do have the right to do so,” Anthony tilted his chin up arrogantly

Wednesday, and the day after the annoying fight in Anthony's car, Shanon was huddled in a corner of the campus library with a laptop and a stack of textbooks to help her formulate her thesis conclusion. Her fingers typed smoothly on the keyboard. The calmness made her relax and helped her concentrate on writing her thesis.Shanon could hardly imagine that her adventure in taking the master's program was almost over. With all the tears she had shed, all of them would be rewarded with her success in achieving a master's degree. Within one month, she would present the results of her research in front of all the students and lecturers of the master's program, including Anthony and the campus council.Thinking about it made Shanon's stomach churn, and she felt like throwing up. She repeatedly covered her mouth with the palm of her hand as her stomach churned even worse. Nervousness made her unable to concentrate on typing some words on her laptop.Half an hour later,

"What time does your sister get off work?""Usually it's six or seven o'clock if she has to take stock of goods in the warehouse.""Okay. We have about two hours.”“Excuse me, we?” Shanon asked skeptically.“There is no more we. You're on your own. I have nothing to do with your business. So, take me home, and then it's up to you how you meet Avery.""Are you still angry because of our argument yesterday?"“I'm mad at you for everything. Not just because of our argument yesterday."“I want the best for you. For your safety and our child's safety, I want you to stop working at the club.”“Who do you think you are? How dare you control my life? This child is my responsibility,” Shanon hugged her stomach defensively.They had only left the campus parking lot for five minutes, and they were already arguing in the car. Anthony didn't know how he could rec

“Shanon, why did you bring him here? I told you that I didn't want to see him in our house?"“Ave, please. He has something important to talk to you about. This is about father's company.”“I have nothing to do with our father's company anymore. He already bought it.”Anthony cleared his throat softly. He had been sitting in the living room for more than thirty minutes listening to Shanon and Avery arguing behind the wall. Their voices could be heard very clearly from where he was sitting. They talked about him as if he were an invisible ghost.“You two, can you stop talking about me as if I'm not here?” Anthony snorted.“I don't mind you guys badmouthing me right in front of me. But at least, don't talk behind walls that can barely disguise your voice.”Avery was the first to appear from behind the wall, followed by Shanon behind her. Avery wore a cold expression that was not friendly at

Shanon frowned in confusion when she saw Anthony suddenly stand up and throw the napkin on the table. He hadn't finished eating his steak and hadn't touched the wine, but Anthony suddenly left the table in a silent anger that confused her.“Hmm... I think he's sick of having a wife like you. You show the affair too bluntly in front of him."“You've really drained all my patience, bitch. If you can’t say proper words, you better shut your damn mouth.”Shanon moved her chair back and stood up.“Shanon, where are you going? Your ankle is sprained. I will help you.”“No, Jamie. I can handle it. You just keep eating here.”With unsteady steps, Shanon walked out of the dining room. She was so angry that she wanted to hit something. If Annika wasn't her friend, she would have happily punched her sister-in-law in the damn mouth who had been messing with her since this afternoon.Shanon walked to

Shanon was happy because her relationship with Anthony was quite conducive throughout the afternoon and evening. They didn't leave their room after Anthony got a bruise ointment. They spent their time lazing around in bed, cuddling. Shanon enjoyed a very calm moment with Anthony with the sight of a snowstorm that made the entire landscape outside the window very white. They could barely see the mountain ranges or trees that were usually clearly visible from Shanon's room.At seven, they finally went out of their room because they were starting to get hungry. Anthony held Shanon's waist tightly and led her down the stairs because Shanon refused to be carried by him. Shanon's friends greeted Anthony in friendly tones as they passed each other near the stairs. Shanon was very grateful because she didn't run into Jammy at all while walking down to the dining room. That would be a very awkward moment. Shanon hoped they could return to Boston as soon as the storm passed.&ld

Anthony jumped down from the helicopter with solid footing. He brushed off the sunglasses that framed his eyes and rolled his gaze to the range of snowy mountains that spread out around him. Everything was white and a little misty. Anthony turned towards the magnificent villa that stood on flat land at the top of the hill. The villa was quiet. Anthony told the pilot to wait because he wasn't planning on staying that night. He just wanted to take Shanon home right then and there. He thought about it while they were still in the air. He wouldn't let Shanon stay at the villa any longer with her ex-lover and immediately took her home.“Are you one of Mrs. Sarah’s friends?”"Yes. Where is she? Where is everyone?”“They were skiing on the hill.”"When are they coming back?" Anthony asked impatiently.“I think they'll be back at lunch.”Drake looked at Anthony's appearance from head to toe. All black

Shanon appeared exactly five minutes later in a white and blue gradient ski outfit and furry hoodie. Shanon carried goggles and other ski equipment in both hands.“They gave me this before I came out.”“Sarah and Stevan make sure their friends have everything here. Let's go. Our friends left half an hour ago.”“They must be at the top of the hill. Why is there no cable car here?” Shanon started to complain just a few steps after her shoes hit the snow. The combination of uphill roads and very thick snow made the walk feel five times more difficult than just climbing up a steep mountain.“Where's the fun if you just get on the cable car and glide? The journey from the bottom to the top is more amazing than just gliding.”“Really?”As far as Shanon could see, she only saw pine trees and rocks covered in snow. Shanon wondered whether Anthony was a ski fan or not? She had seen Anthony s

“Morning, Shanon.”“Morning, Josie.”“It seems you didn't sleep well last night.”Shanon put her ass on one of the empty chairs next to Joselyn and her husband. Most of the other round tables were already filled with other couples. Shanon caught a glimpse of Sarah and Stevan sitting with Justin and his girlfriend.“Yeah, I think so too. I woke up with a very tired body and mind. I need some coffee.”Right after Shanon said that, a housekeeper came in with a pot of very fragrant coffee and started filling her empty cup with coffee that made Shanon's mouth almost drip."Thanks."“What would you like for breakfast, ma'am? We have pancakes & bacon, hashbrown & sausage, and smoked beef omelets.”“I want a smoked beef omelette with hashbrown, can I?”“Sure. I will be right back."Shanon leaned her back against the back of her chair whi
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 141. EXTREMELY JEALOUS
After making sure Sarah didn't follow her, Shanon dashed to her room and plopped down on her king size bed as soon as she arrived at her room. She rolled herself up like a fetus. She felt that the bed was too big to sleep on alone. She had never felt so vulnerable when she was away from Anthony. She was always fine while living alone in New Heaven. She had never missed Anthony so much. But, that night she felt vulnerable and missed Anthony so bad. She needed to hear Anthony's voice.Shanon rushed to grab her cell phone on the nightstand. She deactivated airplane mode and dozens of notifications started flooding into her phone. It took Shanon ten minutes to wait until the notification ringtone died down, and her cell phone returned to silence. Shanon then pressed the speed dial to call Anthony.“Anthony…” Shanon's voice sounded hoarse and wet."What's wrong with you? You turned off your phone, and you suddenly called me with puffy eyes?”
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 140. THE DAMN TRUTH OR DARE GAME
Something big?Shanon thought Jammie was just joking to scare her or intimidate her. She didn't have any inkling as she went into the dining room with the dress code Sarah had set for that evening. A silk nightgown for the women and silk pajamas for the men. Sarah seemed inspired by their summer vacation at Joselyn's villa. At that time, they had a pajama party and played a snakes and ladders game all night while eating various kinds of snacks that they brought from their respective homes.But for tonight, Sarah had modified it a little. She didn't make her female friends wear pajamas, but instead nightgowns, as a sign that they were no longer teenagers, and that they were adults with integrity.“Welcome to the pajama party.”Shanon's jaw dropped as she entered the common room. The room was on the first floor, second hallway after the hall. The room looked really amazing with a gold interior and walls covered with gold wallpaper. The

Shanon quickly forgot everything Jammie said as she was busy welcoming her friends who came to the villa that day. They reminisced while screaming and hugging because it was the first time they had met since graduating from high school.“Anna Hughes! Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's you.”“Sarah, thank you for inviting me and my boyfriend.”“Hi Anna. Are you pregnant?”“Oh, our Shanon genius! And yes, I'm pregnant."“Oh, congratulations to you, darling!” Shanon hugged Anna warmly.She then hugged Aaron, Anna's lover.“Welcome to our humble Villa. Please follow Tobby to your room.""Thanks."Not long after Anna and her lover went to their room in the right wing, Drake arrived from the airport with three couples. Joselyn, the blonde woman, got out of the van for the first time and screamed excitedly as soon as her eyes caught the figures of Shanon and Sarah.
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 138. ANTHONY OR JAMMIE
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
