99. THE WEDDING PLAN
Last Updated:
2025-01-17 09:06:06A month after the graduation party, which was full of drama and showers of congratulations from her friends, Shanon still couldn't come out of her euphoria. She welcomed the day with joy and the promise of a better future. Every morning she woke up and realized the fact that she was Anthony's fiancé. Formally. There was no secret. Everyone knew for sure that she belonged to Anthony, and vice versa. Just imagining it, her life became lighter than before. Negative thoughts disappeared in an instant from her brain.
"Good morning."
“Hi, princess. You look really excited.”
Shanon kissed her sister's cheek briefly. Avery had been sitting at the dining table since seven o'clock. She was ready in a formal suit, a black bag sat on the empty chair next to her, and she had a cup of coffee on the table.
“I'm always excited. What would you like for breakfast?”
“You don't need to bother making me breakfast. You prepared me br

“Deal.”“Nice doing business with you, Mr. Maddock.”Avery held out her hand to shake Tim Maddock's hand. They ended the meeting with satisfied smiles on each of their faces because they managed to reach an agreement on their next project. Tim Maddock then walked away, leaving Avery who still remained in the restaurant to pack up her things.“Avery? What a coincidence, huh?”Avery looked up. She just gathered the documents and put them in the briefcase. Her face lit up when she saw who had just greeted her.“Jordyn. Hey, what are you doing here?”“Umm... Lunch. Actually, it's not really lunch. I only ordered coffee because I was trying to build a good image in front of people I had just met.”“So, do you want to have lunch with me? I haven't eaten anything since just now.”"That is a good idea. You saved me from starvation. Thanks, Ave.”&ldquo

"Turn right."“No. We still have to walk straight over there.”“But I want to see the baby crib here.”"There is a baby shop that makes the best quality baby cribs there."Shanon folded her arms across her chest. Her eyes narrowed at Anthony.“Well, I keep forgetting the fact that I'm going to marry a man who bathes in a thousand dollar soap. You obviously couldn't possibly buy a baby crib at Ikea.”“Don't be so skeptical about my life, Shanon. I just want the best for my son.”“I know, I know. I'm just not used to your very wow lifestyle."“I don't like you commenting skeptically on my lifestyle. Like it or not, you have to get used to it from now on. You will live under me.”“Oh, really, Anthony. I want equality. What century do you think we live in, huh?”The two of them stood in front of the Ikea entrance and glanced at each other sa
Last Updated : 2025-01-18FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 102. FINALLY MARRIED!
Her marriage was in turmoil. Shanon almost believed her wedding was canceled because Anthony couldn't come to his own wedding. Isn't that crazy? The main character couldn't attend his own wedding!Shanon was stressed about handling all the wedding preparations alone while Anthony was in Singapore to attend a damn conference which he said was very important to him. Anthony delegated all his responsibilities to Shanon and only gave a few short confirmations via telephone every time Shanon called to ask about several things related to their wedding. Anthony then asked Ben to do things that Shanon couldn't do herself because she was pregnant. Anthony promised to arrive in Boston the day before their wedding, and he asked Shanon to calm down.But, the day before their wedding, Anthony didn't show up at the airport at all. Shanon, who had been haunted by worry for weeks, tried to call Anthony to ask for clarity about his return. To her surprise, Anthony gave her some very ba

“Hi, Shanon. The night is still young.”“No, it's late at night. Stop pouring liquor into your mouth, Ave," Shanon snatched the crystal glass from Avery's hand, making the golden liquid in the glass splash onto her dress."Tsk, you dirty my dress, sis," Avery snorted displeasedly.“You're drunk, Ave. You should go home now.""Let's party! Turn on the music right now.”Shanon sighed softly. She massaged her temples, suddenly feeling dizzy when she saw Sarah screaming on an almost empty stage. Sarah was just as drunk as Avery, but Sarah was more terrifying because she always acted strangely whenever she was drunk.“We are the last ones here. You should go home, Ave."People had gone home half an hour ago. The janitors started working to clean up the messes people had left behind, before they left the hall.“I'll go home later. You go home first with Anthony. Isn't he very tired?”

Like déjà vu. Shanon returned to the house she had left six months ago. The main gate swung open when Anthony pressed the remote on his car dashboard. Shanon seemed to go back in time to when she first lived in Anthony's house after their brief wedding at City Hall.“Welcome home.”“Wow, you have a new cherub?”Shanon stared in amazement at the white cherub in the shape of a child carrying a jug whose water was spilling into the pool. She remembered that she had wanted to jump into the pool when she was drunk.“It's time to replace the old with the new. We need new energy. Come on down.”"I wonder if you also changed all the furniture in your house?"“Let's take a look inside. You know, I didn't prepare much because of a sudden trip to Singapore."“Yeah, don't discuss it in front of me. You just ruin my mood.”They walked into a house that felt very familiar to

“Ughh... My head.”Avery pushed something heavy off her stomach. She groaned loudly, touching her head, which felt like it was being hit by a sledgehammer. She lost orientation for a moment while trying to remember what happened last night at Shanon's wedding party. She remembered last night mingling with the guests, most of whom were Anthony's colleagues. She knew no one there apart from Shanon's friends. She then pulled over to the bar counter because she was starting to get dizzy from the hubbub. She ordered a few shots of liquor, hoping to feel better. But she never felt better. All that was left of all the drinking was the pounding pain in her head."Are you okay?"The sound surprised Avery. She reflexively jumped out of bed and grabbed the nightlight on the nightstand. She intended to hit the stranger on his bed and ran downstairs to call the police. But suddenly she froze, seeing who was currently on her bed.“Whoa... Relax. I mea

Shanon didn't know who to blame for the unexpected birth. She, the baby, or Doctor Larissa's prediction. She said that the baby would be born in about two weeks. But, apparently not. Charlie was born earlier than Doctor Larissa's prediction. That's what made Shanon so unprepared. She only had small contractions for a week before Charlie was born. Doctor Larissa told her it was normal. Shanon was pretty relaxed for a week. She carried out normal activities. She always went to campus at lunch time to deliver Anthony's lunch. It was a cheesy thing for a new couple to do. Shanon knew that, but she liked to pamper Anthony with her cooking. So, she routinely went to campus whenever Anthony didn't have a meeting with his colleagues.That day she went to campus to deliver Anthony's lunch. She always drove herself to campus since Anthony bought her a car as their wedding gift. Shanon was very happy because she didn't have to wait at the bus stop in all kinds of unpredictable weather.

“Oh my, what a mess here. Anthony, could you hold Charlie for a moment? I have to get the cherry pie out of the oven and clean the kitchen.”“Okay. Wait a moment."Anthony put his iPad on a bookshelf out of Charlie's reach. He was just taking precautions in case he was careless watching Charlie, and the baby boy suddenly found his iPad and threw it on the floor. Like what happened last month.“Hi, baby boy. Let's play puzzle with me. Let your mom finish cooking."Charlie whined, not wanting to let go of Shanon. He gripped the hem of Shanon's blouse tightly as Anthony tried to take him from Shanon's arms.“Honey, play with your daddy for a sec. I have to get that cherry pie out of the oven before it burns.”"He's been sticking to you lately.""That's normal for a child his age."“But it sucks. We don't have time alone because Charlie always monopolizes you."Avery burst into laugh

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
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 134. WHERE ARE YOU SHANON?
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

“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.
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 129. THE TRUTH UNTOLD
Shanon knocked softly on Simmon Kendrick's door. She became even more nervous when Kendrick's deep, raspy voice allowed her to enter his office. She had hoped Kendrick wouldn't be available this afternoon and that would give her time to calm her fears.After Scott left to meet his professor, fear crept into her heart again until Shanon almost went home and canceled her intention to meet Simmon Kendrick.But there was no turning back for her. Like it or not, Shanon had to go into Simmon’s office and meet the killer lecturer.“Ms. Wilson. An unexpected visit.”“Good afternoon, Mr. Kendrick. Sorry to disturb your time.”Shanon pulled up a chair in front of Kendrick's desk which was covered in many student assessment sheets. She slid her body into the chair very slowly before her butt landed smoothly on the wooden chair.“What can I do for you, Ms. Wilson?”“Umm...”Shanon just
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 126. A BABY IN CLASS
He thought he only slept five minutes, not five hours. Anthony sat up in surprise while glancing at the clock. It showed seven."Damn, I'm late!"Frantically, Anthony walked to the bathroom, ready to shower and leave for campus. But suddenly he remembered that last night Charlie came home with him, and he had full responsibility for his baby.Anthony hurriedly left his room. He tripped over his blanket which was hanging down to the floor and cursed softly because of his carelessness. He had never been so careless before. He was also never late. Usually his brain always had an alarm to wake him up at exactly five o'clock. But it was clear that the alarm in his head refused to wake him up because he needed quality sleep after several days of not getting quality sleep because he was too busy with the very tiring duty board."Morning, boy."Hearing Anthony's voice, Charlie automatically looked up from the Legos and various toys scattered on the floor.

“I still can't believe you kept those facts from me all this time.”“I never hide anything from you.”"It seems you don't intend to tell me who your husband is if I accidentally met him yesterday."Shanon sighed softly next to Scott. She wasn't in a good mood this morning. Everything was very chaotic. She woke up with heavy, swollen, and very red eyes from crying all night. Her morning was very chaotic and bad. When she came out of her room, the atmosphere in the condo was very quiet. She was pretty sure Anthony had taken Charlie home to Boston.Last night, before she finally fell asleep because she was tired of crying, she heard the noise of Charlie's stroller wheels rubbing and the sound of Anthony's footsteps stomping very loudly. She didn't know whether Anthony was stomping his foot hard on purpose to tell her he was going home to Boston, or whether Anthony was angry. They were both very messy last night.“I admire
