Because they were tired from their excursion, their trip to the lake was delayed. They left the house in the afternoon, but Sabrina wondered why they didn't go to the tourist attraction in Clayland right away. Sabrina squinted her eyes when she understood what Kenneth was implying."Okay. You had enough of me, Kenneth. Aren’t you satisfied yet? Let's go and enjoy kayaking," Sabrina said and she walked out of the room ahead of him.Meanwhile, Kenneth followed with a sour expression because he didn't get what he wanted. He had wanted to stay in the room with Sabrina and take a short nap. He was feeling sleepy."You're making a face. Is something wrong?" Sabrina asked the man when she suddenly turned around and saw him frowning.Kenneth was surprised by what the woman did because he didn't expect her to turn around. He was caught pouting like a child. "Nothing," he replied.Sabrina stopped walking and waited for the man to catch up to her. "Is there really nothing, or do you just want us
"I don't want Kenneth for our child, Margaret," Brandon said."Let it be," Margaret said when only the two of them were left. “We trusted her before, darling, so let’s do it again.”“Yes, that’s correct. We trusted her and she got hurt! Can you imagine how painful it was for me to know that they maltreated my precious daughter? I want to crush that family so much, Margaret!”“I understand, dear. I felt the same, but it seemed that Kenneth is different from them. I can tell he is a good guy,” she told him.Brandon sighed because he didn't want to add to Margaret's worries. "When Kenneth arrives, tell him I'll be waiting for him at the library.""Do you have a problem with Kenneth?" Margaret asked seriously because she was also confused by the events. She felt that Brandon was hiding something from her."No, not really. I just need to consult something with him," Brandon replied. When he found out that Kenneth didn't immediately take responsibility for Sabrina, he started to have a nega
"What's wrong?" he immediately asked the woman as she entered the room, struggling to stand properly and grimacing in pain."My stomach hurts," Sabrina complained."Just a moment," Kenneth said, quickly removing his clothes before rushing to the bathroom.Sabrina winced while the man followed her gaze, thinking that her stomach was acting up again. He was sensitive to food, and even a small mistake would quickly cause stomach pain.After three minutes, Kenneth came out again, wrapped in a towel with wet hair. "You're so fast," he said."I told you I'd be quick," Kenneth replied as he walked closer to the woman. "Is your stomach still hurting?" he asked her, and when she nodded, he immediately lifted Sabrina and carried her to the bed."Wait, Kenneth," she said, trying to stop the man from removing her clothes, but he insisted and successfully took off her shorts. "Hold on," Sabrina complained, grabbing the hand of the man holding onto her panty's waistband."Shhhhh..." Kenneth said, b
She took a deep breath before opening her phone again to call Kenneth, but he beat her to it. "Who answered earlier?" She immediately asked the man without beating around the bush."Oh, that was Janelle," Kenneth replied.Sabrina's forehead slightly wrinkled as she tried to remember who Janelle was, and when she recalled the woman, she calmed down a bit. "Are you at the office now?""Yeah, just taking care of something. But tomorrow, I can come home," Kenneth promised."Okay. Alright, I won't bother you anymore so you can finish whatever you're doing there. I love you," she said, and upon hearing Kenneth's response on the other line, she promptly ended the call and looked at her sleeping child.She was in front of her laptop, working on the feasibility study for a business idea she had. Meghan approached her and asked her to manage her resort once it's finished. She agreed, but she could only dedicate one year to the resort before starting her own business.When she told Kenneth about

Kenneth was lost in thought while his mind wandered to Sabrina. What if Sabrina and Sabrina were alike? She suppressed her true emotions just to appear happy!His forehead creased when he noticed that all the lights in his house were turned on. Even the terrace lights were on, contradicting what Marcus said about staying in a hotel for a while."Marcus?" he called out his friend's name, but there was no response. He wondered why he had to turn on all the lights when there was no occasion. "Marcus?" he called again, but still no answer. He shrugged and proceeded to his room to change his clothes. He needed to rest early because he was going to the province the next day."Surprise!"He didn't have time to react when Sabrina suddenly hugged him. It was a tight embrace, and he could feel her excitement. "Sabrina..." he whispered her name."I miss you," Sabrina said, planting a kiss on Kenneth's cheek."Aren't you mad at me?" he immediately asked the woman, wondering if she was angry becau
"You really scared me last night," he confessed.Sabrina reassured him, understanding the jealousy he felt. "It's only natural to feel that way, Kenneth. I get jealous too, you know. Have you forgotten what happened between Isabelle and me?""How could I forget? But I hope we never have to go through that again. It was dangerous," he responded, concern evident in his voice.Curiosity got the better of Kenneth, and he inquired about Isabelle's whereabouts. "Where is Isabelle now?""I heard she moved to another country," Kenneth replied, a hint of relief in his voice."Well, at least I won't be running into her all the time," Sabrina remarked.Kenneth reassured Sabrina, making his feelings clear. "Even if we were to see each other every day, I wouldn't trade you for Isabelle. We won't let her come between us."Sabrina gently reminded Kenneth about Isabelle's affection for him. "That girl had feelings for you, maybe you've forgotten.""But I only want you," he declared, emphasizing his d
Sabrina couldn't understand herself why the past events still lingered in her mind, even when Kenneth repeatedly gave himself to her. She knew deep down that she loved him immensely, but how much did she really love him? Kenneth was the kind of man who was caring and loving, which only made her fall for him even more. But why was there still hesitation in her heart? Was it because of their tragic past? Or was it because of Isabelle? Sabrina scolded herself, realizing that she shouldn't doubt Kenneth's sincerity anymore. He had proven his love for her multiple times."Did I make you feel how much I love you?" she asked him.Kenneth furrowed his brow upon hearing Sabrina's sudden question and countered with one of his own. "Why are you asking that?""Just please answer my question," she pleaded, resting her head on his well-built arm."Hmm, why don't you just show me again how much you love me?" Kenneth challenged her in a whisper.Sabrina smiled at Kenneth's request. After a few minute
Despite having consumed a lot, Sabrina's face still lingered in his mind. She had a strong sense of pride, so he knew how much she restrained herself from crying in front of him.During the time they spent together, he had gotten to know her well, and he was certain she was still awake. He glanced at his watch and realized it was almost midnight. Kenneth contemplated as he stared at his cellphone, wanting to call Sabrina since earlier.He wanted to seek advice from friends who had happy love lives but he hesitated. It was already late at night, so he was sure they were asleep. He had tried to convince himself several times that what he did was for the sake of both of them, but he didn't want to hurt Sabrina. When he handed her Scarlet's passbook earlier, she couldn't hide the tremor in her voice from him.Whenever he was with Sabrina, he never felt bored. There were times when she was mischievous, and there were times when she was overly serious. Despite the fluctuations in her mood,
She felt deeply hurt when Kenneth didn't even look at her before leaving without saying goodbye. Was their conversation earlier just a joke? The way he acted, it was as if they didn't even know each other. She stood up and followed him, but suddenly hesitated, so she decided to call him instead. While waiting for Kenneth to answer her call, she felt extremely nervous."So that's it then?" she asked anxiously."Yes," was the only response from him.Sabrina couldn't help but think of going back inside to bid farewell to her assistant. Didn't he know how difficult it was for her to set aside her pride? She waited for a few seconds for his response, but he just said "yes"? My god! She might turn into a criminal on Meghan's resort opening day. She hopped on her scooter and quickly started it. When she arrived home, she rushed inside. Her mother greeted her with a furrowed brow."Mom, where's Scarlet?" She should have been looking for Kenneth, but she felt embarrassed in front of her mother
Kenneth attempted to talk to Sabrina again, but she firmly rejected his plea. He had no choice but to be content with watching her from a distance. He sighed several times as he reflected on his actions towards Sabrina, wincing as he realized that it was unlikely he would be given another chance. Perhaps if he had restrained himself a few days earlier, they wouldn't have reached this point of separation."Excuse me, sir."His reflection on the past was interrupted when a woman suddenly appeared in front of him. Before acknowledging the woman, who probably just wanted to get his number, he glanced back at Sabrina and his jaw dropped when he saw her sweetly smiling at a guest."Sir, this is for you," the woman said.Kenneth accepted what the woman gave him and opened it. His forehead furrowed deeper as he read the contents of the letter, and his expression changed for a brief moment."What's this?" he asked the woman as he approached her."Don't you know how to read? It's clear what I w
TWO MONTHS LATER...It was Valentine's Day and the grand opening of Meghan's resort. The entire staff, especially those from the kitchen and reception, were busy. Meanwhile, Sabrina was sitting calmly near the main entrance of the resort. Her gift shop wasn't officially open yet because she didn't want to coincide with Meghan's opening. However, they decided to set up a small table near the entrance, and every guest of the resort would receive a little gift from her shop.Sabrina wasn't really at a loss because Meghan provided the flowers for free. It was for the resort's opening, after all. She only had to make an effort, and even the supplies came from Meghan. It was also a form of free promotion for her gift shop."Congrats, Meghan," she greeted the woman, who looked bossy in her red dress. The resort had a gold theme like her house, but Meghan chose to wear a red dress, probably to make it easier for her staff to find her."Thank you, Sabrina. Wait, something seems different about
The next morning, Margaret woke up early and approached Meghan and Sabrina. Last night, she was disturbed by their loud noise while she was sleeping. She felt compelled to go downstairs and check what was going on and why Meghan and Sabrina were making so much noise."You're acting like children!" Margaret shouted at the two girls who, if they hadn't surpassed the age on the calendar, wouldn't be so unruly."It's just a game, Mom!" Sabrina replied. "Do you want me to go crazy with sadness?""Stop talking back to me, Sabrina! What do you mean by going crazy with sadness? Fix your life, or I'll be forced to let Brandon straighten you out!""Mom, we're not children anymore for you to scold us like this. We just wanted to have fun, so we played last night. What's wrong with that?"Margaret realized that Sabrina was right. It was just a game, and she shouldn't be worried. But she had read that most people who spend too much time on online games are either bored or deeply depressed."There
Meghan had suggested before that she should try signing up for dating sites to find someone more suitable than Kenneth. She opened her Tinder account and was surprised to see that she was repeatedly asked for a password. She must have entered it incorrectly, even though she used the same password for everything.She took a deep breath before repeating the signing-up process. However, browsing through potential men near her seemed discouraging. Because within six months, she had probably tried all the dating sites and she grew tired of searching for a man who could surpass Kenneth, so she decided to go back to the files related to her business idea."Hello, Meghan," she said when the woman answered on the other line. "Don't you still have vacant space in your resort? If you haven't found a tenant yet, I'll take it. Just prepare the contract of lease and hand it over to the lawyer," she said."Are you sure about that?""Yep! After I eat, I'll go to the city hall to personally process t
Due to Kenneth's departure, Sabrina completely lost herself. She was always in a daze, and in fact, she had neglected Scarlet for several days. Perhaps if she had listened to the man, he wouldn't have left. Maybe if she had immediately believed that he didn't deceive her, their planned marriage would have pushed through."Aren't you going to stop anymore?" Margaret angrily asked Sabrina, who had been crying and worrying for several days.Sabrina burst into even louder sobs because as time went on, she missed Alexander even more. "I can't contact him anymore, Mom.""You pushed his patience to the limit, Sabrina. What if your wedding had pushed through, and you were still like this? You didn't want to listen to him," Margaret blamed Sabrina, but after a moment, she regretted it. "I'm sorry, but you have to endure the pain of losing him.""I can't live without him," Sabrina replied, wiping her tears and slowly making a decision. She would search for Kenneth and bring him to the altar, ev
Upon hearing those words from the woman, it felt like she had killed him and buried him alive. It was far from his imagination that their relationship would be destroyed. If it weren't for Isabelle meddling in his life again, Sabrina's perception of him wouldn't have changed.Kenneth assumed that Sabrina's anger towards him would only be temporary, but he didn't expect that she would also ignore him at home. She moved to a different room, and every time they crossed paths, she wouldn't acknowledge him. One morning, while he was heading to the kitchen to eat, he encountered Sabrina near the staircase, so he blocked her way."Can we talk?""Oh, so you're still here," Sabrina said flatly, and the man was clearly surprised by her words.Kenneth was taken aback by the woman's statement. What did she want him to do? Leave and abandon Scarlet? "Wherever you are, I'm there too," Kenneth said.Sabrina sighed and tried to slip past Kenneth, but when he stood his ground, she kicked his leg. "Get
After Kenneth left, Sabrina wiped away her tears. She didn't like crying in front of other people. Getting angry, yes, but crying where someone could see? She had never done that in her entire life, but earlier she struggled to hold herself back. It was difficult for her to remain brave even though she wanted to just die.As she lay on the bed, her tears continued to flow, and no matter how hard she tried to stop them, she couldn't. She wanted to sleep to forget everything, but sleep seemed elusive for Sabrina. She tried closing her eyes, but she kept seeing images of Kenneth with another woman.Even though he denied it multiple times, she still didn't believe him. It was obvious from the pictures that the two of them were happy together. Kenneth even had his arm around his mistress. He said the pictures were taken a long time ago but she didn’t believe him.If she weren't pregnant, she would have confronted the woman and dragged her on the street. The thought crossed her mind as she
