2024-10-29 19:42:56"What's the need?" asked Lily coldly.
She sat across from a tired-looking Levi. The look on his face was nothing like the last time they met. Did he care? Not at all.
In fact, in her mind right now, she seemed to have no face if she had to meet her employer later. How could this person be so desperate to meet Lily here. In James' house. Either she felt lucky or unlucky when James approached her. After Lily was convinced, her employer went to Levi first.
"Solve your problem. We're out of the way. You don't have to be shy, just think of it as your own home. I assure you, this is the last time you meet."
Lily only gave a small nod in response to her employer's words. "I apologize in advance, sir."
It was an annoying thing for James to do with the pressure Lily was receiving, as her employer laughed lightly.
"I accept your apology but with conditions. Remember that, Lily." Then the man left Lily while patting her shoulder lightly. He sighe

From one corner of the cafe, Lily's eyes couldn't help but notice how the two awkward-looking people interacted. Not knowing what they were talking about, Lily chose to give them time and space.Lily still remembered when the beautiful woman approached her at school this afternoon. She was very surprised when she found out who it was. Keana Grizelle. Cheryl's biological mother."I'm sorry if my presence took Miss Lily by surprise."Keana smiled awkwardly as she never expected to take this step. She was determined to meet her daughter's birth mother. She didn't know whether James or Lily had told Cheryl about her or not. She felt that she had to meet immediately. She was afraid of missing the opportunity again. She regretted what she had done enough. This time, all her confidence led her to approach for just a moment."Have I known you before?" asked Lily confused by suddenly being approached by such a beautiful woman. There was something familiar to Lily
Hello, My Ex! This is My Daughter from My New Husband [95]
A week had passed since her last meeting with Levi. Lily felt relieved, calmer, and more peaceful. She didn't care if there would be questions about the house, especially from her mother. For her, this was the right thing to do. The path she took was her desire to move on with a better life. She did not want to keep all the feelings that were still entrenched and side by side with the figure of her ex-husband.That was enough.Lily also felt that something had changed from her daily life with Cheryl. The little girl rarely asked to go to the mall unless there was something she needed. Cheryl would rather go home and whine about Lily's lunch. The shoulder-length haired woman smiled excitedly every time Cheryl enthusiastically said she wanted to eat this and that at home.Like today."I want mayonnaise buns, Mom." Cheryl looked at Lily expectantly.Lily remembered that two days ago she had made breakfast for her young lady with the aforementioned men

Denny put the file that was his to revise quite loudly. It broke James' daydream right then and there."Boss, you're right if you want to make people angry!"James frowned. "What the hell.""Yes, you asked me to revise the data you gave me for 2017. Now it's 2019. I was told to search for marketing margins to make it okay. You're crazy."Denny sighed in frustration, sitting down a little harder on the wheeled chair in front of James' desk.James gaped. "Seriously?"He immediately snatched the file Denny had given him. His eyes darted back and forth across the data on his laptop screen. Occasionally he checked the report."Sorry," he said with a grimace. "I didn't realize.""What's wrong with you? Three days, James, three days. Where did your focus go?" Denny leaned closer to the table. His eyes narrowed suspiciously."I've emailed the new data." James trailed off."You don't need it. I've got it all sorted out. It

James had been in love and had his heart broken but this time it felt different. His concentration collapsed at minus point. Denny's sarcasm hit him hard. Work and personal matters are two different things but, James unconsciously stirred them.The man now wearing a gray shirt needed to devise a new plan. He couldn't stay like this for too long. Instead of thinking about his feelings for Lily, which were so hard to deny that James was running out of steam. His mind was made up. He did his best to sink back into his work.All that time, he was immersed in a pile of work. Deliberately. Even lunch was a little late because he was too engrossed. He started strategizing the next quarter's new promotion. This quarter's promotion had just been launched. Using Keana Grizelle's big name was a hit with the public.James knew Keana was famous, but he didn't expect it to have such a big effect. Perhaps because he was only focused on the things in his life, he no longer thou

"Good afternoon, Mom," Lily replied immediately after picking up the ringing cell phone, displaying her mother's caller ID on the screen."Lily, how are you? Are you well?"Lily gave a small smile. The activity of sitting on the wooden bench where James had pointed out how beautiful the expanse of sky was when viewed from that spot, had finally become her favorite as well. Ever since her employer had left for Pontianak, Lily had continuously chosen this space to unwind. Sometimes, she went into James' study. That was after permission from Anna of course. Without losing respect for the real owner of the house. Lily was still self-aware, she was only a caretaker."Thank God, I'm doing well. How about mom and dad?""We're fine."Lily's smile was not about to fade. "Thank God, I'm glad to hear that.""When are you coming home?"A mountain of longing had already crept into her heart when she heard those words echoing. But the moment she re

Lily let out a long sigh. She was standing right in the middle of two people who had been extremely annoying all afternoon."I haven't finished my homework yet. What's wrong with Papa, he's so annoying!"The child immediately clung to the leg of the woman massaging her temple. Lily was dizzy with both of them. They were all in James's study, which had been transformed to make it possible for the man who was said to be sick, he said, but was still working.That's amazing, isn't it? Lily shook her head in wonder at this.Cheryl had been sitting on the thick fluffy carpet along with the small table she used to complete her assignments. Now the child was pouting because her father was always interrupting. Shaking her nanny's leg to keep her from moving. Just to get a drink for the two of them."Papa is thirsty, Princess. Miss Lily wants to get a drink, right? Just a moment. Papa won't be able to swallow the medicine.""Papa!"James laughe

There was nothing Lily could do but sit in the passenger seat of James' red Mazda. Granted, this wasn't Lily's first time sitting here. But the awkwardness was still there. It was not easy considering her heart and mind were no longer in the right place. "Why, I feel like you're not coming back, huh." Lily finally laughed softly. "If I don't walk now, I might miss my flight." James sighed softly, then started the car while pursing his lips. Just like Cheryl was sulking. At home, Lily had to coax Cheryl, who was suddenly hysterical because she knew she was going home to Surabaya. Until Lily was confused herself to seduce her as well as soothe her cries. "Cheryl, listen to me." Lily finally made a decisive move. Staring at the little girl with a pretty sharp gaze. At first Cheryl did not want to look into Lily's eyes at all, but because she was forced, finally with teary eyes Cheryl exchanged glances with her nanny. Actually, Lily was ve

"Where are we going?"Lily finally spoke up after being silent beside Erwin as the driver."Breakfast.""I know that clearly. The location?"Erwin smiled."You don't seem sincere about going out with me." While glancing at the woman beside him. True to his guess, the beautiful face that was polished with thin make-up again flinched. Not responding at all to his words."I'd like to take you for a honey-dipped waffle." Erwin turned his head again, hoping she would share a smile with him. But to no avail. Lily was still faithfully watching the road in front of her, not even glancing at Erwin. "You want some? Or do you have something you want to eat for breakfast?"Before she could answer, the ringing of Lily's cell phone broke the silence between them."I'll take the call first."And it turned out to be a video call from Cheryl. Suddenly she felt very guilty. Last night, due to exhaustion, Lily had forgotten to tell her tha

Days go by, months roll by, years also add up. But one thing is timeless. Togetherness in the two-story house that is now never quiet again. Sometimes Anna's voice fills the corners of the room where Nika is too active to move. The seven-year-old is like a deer in headlights. She can't keep still. I don't know where her energy comes from. Anna is not afraid that something will break or fall because of Nika. But she was worried that her granddaughter would get hurt because she was too agile. Running here and there, sometimes jumping up and down while laughing merrily. Fortunately, Levant could accompany Nika's activities, although the youngest daughter had to wait until her middle sister came home from school. Meanwhile, Cheryl was really busy with her studies. Levant also started to have a lot of activities at school. Even so, Cheryl never wasted time with her family. Even Levant. Whenever there is an opportunity to get together, they do it with great j

Lily gazed at Nika, who had fallen asleep, fondly. She still remembered how she gave birth to her youngest daughter. Although there was a lot of drama, her gratitude never subsided. "Sleep well, sweetheart. Sweet dreams." She gently kissed Nika's forehead as she prayed, "Oh God, always protect my children from nightmares. From people with evil intentions. From the hypocrites around them. Make them good and virtuous children." Fixing the edge of Nika's blanket properly, tidying up the books that Nika had messed up, and making sure the room temperature was comfortable, Lily left the room. Which turned out to be awaited by James. "Not sleeping yet?" asked Lily, who carefully closed the door to Nika's room. "I can't sleep if you're not around." James sulked exactly like Levant. That's why Lily often joked that her husband transformed into his son when he was five years old. All Lily could do was to mess up James' rather messy hair.

Even though it was loud and noisy in her father's luxury SUV, Cheryl still had a quiet spot. Even though her mouth occasionally asked Levant not to tease her youngest sister, who had no idea where Levant's nosy behavior had come from, it was still a niche that sometimes demanded attention. She deliberately created a void in her heart to imprison the figure of Keana there. The figure that should have been there when she was sad, worried, lonely, read her stories, prepared her breakfast, and all sorts of activities that little Lily used to do. Like the woman who sat beside her father; who was never late to accompany her to do anything, even when she arrived in her red and white uniform. Not in a kindergarten uniform or even a time when her memory was not too perfect. The trip to one of the malls in Central Jakarta didn't take too long. Once in the parking area, James asked Levant and Nika's nanny to enter the shopping center first.

In the past, it took a lot of effort for Lily to get Cheryl to talk. This time, Cheryl could easily tell Lily anything, especially what happened to her. From her activities at school to her friends who she finds annoying. Cheryl had something to tell Lily. For her, talking to her mom is fun. Unlike her father, who often teases her. Especially about relationships with the opposite sex. "What's wrong, mom?" Cheryl folded her arms across her chest. Her face was sullen. The look in her eyes held irritation. "What's wrong with Papa?" Lily folded her smile. She reached out her hand to tidy up her daughter's long hair which was a bit messy. "I was asked about Noah. Am I his friend? When did I become Noah Narendra's friend?" "Drink the milk first, okay?" "I'm not Levant, Mom." Cheryl still didn't accept being treated like a child.Even so, she accepted the glass Lily handed her. She sipped slowly,

The second pregnancy was a bit risky for Lily. Her age made her worry, although not as much as the happiness that surrounded her. The doctor said, "As long as you take care of your womb, condition, and food intake, God willing, it will be fine." For Lily, everything that poured into her life now was more than a gift. What she had hoped for all this time, the millions of prayers she made in every prostration happened so easily. As if without burden, God gave her that wish when Lily let go of everything. When she let go of being a childless woman. Cheryl was enough for her to show off. Risa's advice to Lily was exactly that. So when her first pregnancy happened, the happiness was not only hers. But her whole family. Nita and Rianto often traveled to Jakarta to see their first grandchild grow. As befits the name Lily gave her second child-for Cheryl was her first-Levant Akala Virza. She hopes that her life will be as bright as her name.

The man was still frozen in front of the steering wheel. There was a moment of hesitation before he decided to actually get out and walk towards the place where James Adam's fare wall party was being held. Today, his coworker resigned. He chose to continue the business he had started rather than struggle under the command of someone else. There was a mountain of curiosity in the man's heart. Especially the words that had been bothering him since this morning. "I'm definitely missing Mr. James at work."He said honestly. His coworker this time was very dedicated to work."Mr. Levi could have. I had intended to resign a long time ago but the timing always clashed. It just so happens that my wife is spoiled beyond belief, asking to be accompanied at home.""Pregnant women have different hormones, boss," said Denny, James Adam's assistant. "Ms. Lily is so independent when she's spoiled, it's really funny.""Don't imagine someone's wife. Date someone else!"

"Where's Lily, James?" It was James' turn to be puzzled by such a question. Since leaving the room he had chosen to tidy up the files in his study first and then head to the dining room. Usually his wife, Sari, was preparing breakfast. But this morning, she wasn't there. Plus his mother's question just now. "Probably in Cheryl's room." That was all James could answer. "Morning, Grandma. Morning, Papa." Cheryl, cheerfully approached her father as well as her grandmother. Giving a good morning kiss befor

Lily is tired? She must be.However, her heart was happy because in addition to the wedding party that she had once dreamed of, it was perfectly realized by her husband. Even her wishes regarding the bridal room. Although she had protested, Lily was able to get her husband to comply. There was no bridal suite in the place where she spent her first night after becoming husband and wife. Even though the hotel had offered the most luxurious package to Lily, she refused. James actually didn't understand Lily's way of thinking. Wouldn't she be amazed to see how beautifully the bridal suite was decorated?James was eager to ask, but a smile and a sad look appeared on Lily's beautiful face. He did not want to ask further. Maybe later, when she was in a better mood, he would ask her about it."Tired?" asked James when he entered the room.He glanced at his wife who w

BALI The man frowns. The wedding invitation the receptionist had just given him was enough to make him tingle, but he would still tell his employer. There was no way he could hide this invitation from her."Keana," Andri called out loudly as he entered the long-haired woman's apartment unit."What the hell, you're screaming incoherently!"Keana, who was putting on her eyelashes, felt suddenly distracted. She felt like throwing her assistant with the boots next to her. It took a lot of concentration to put on those lashes and Andri succeeded in distracting her."I have a surprise for you."Andri grinned innocently. Handing the invitation to the woman. Keana snorted in displeasure but she read it anyway. She read the wedding invitation that came to her for a long time."When will it arrive?" She was still flipping through the ivory-colored invitat
