Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 84. Future Sibling-in-low
After having dinner with his family, Dave entered his room. He felt tired from a long day of work and wanted to rest, but sleep seemed to elude him. The king-sized bed with its cream-colored sheets had been tossed around like a ship in a storm. Various sleeping positions failed to coax him into slumber. All of this was because of the girl who looked like Aurora he had met at the office earlier. He had managed to push thoughts of the spoiled girl aside for a few days by burying himself in his mountain of work, but everything went haywire since that afternoon.Lying face down, he grabbed a pillow and buried his face in it, trying to shut out the world. He lost track of time as the clock's ticking failed to pull him into the realm of dreams. Annoyed, he threw the pillow away from his face and sat up to see the clock stopped at 11. He got up from the bed, changed into a pair of loose pants and a white polo t-shirt. After tying up his long hair, he grabbed a black leather jacket and the ca

One of the reasons David refused to commit to any woman was this nightlife scene. He enjoyed the freedom it provided, despite Bagas repeatedly warning him, and his own family constantly pressuring him to get married—a ridiculous notion he never entertained. As long as his biological needs were met, he saw no reason to complicate his life with marriage."Stay here, I'll deal with this," David said as he got up, tapping Dave on the shoulder.Dave played with his phone, checking his social media accounts. He opened Aurora's Instagram account and couldn't help but smile at the pictures. He gently caressed her face on the screen, feeling a twinge of longing deep within. Suddenly, his attention was diverted when he saw a girl's leg accidentally bump into a table in front of him as she rushed past. She seemed frantic, as if searching for someone.Dave got up from his seat after retrieving his jacket from the back of the sofa. He headed towards where David was standing, as David seemed irrita

Ahem... Ferdinan's clearing of his throat successfully broke the silence."In that case, you should propose to Aurora right away, Dave, no need for a long courtship," Sekar chimed in with a wide smile. The hijab-wearing beauty hadn't expected her son to bring a prospective daughter-in-law so soon.Aurora, in response, choked on the drink she had just taken, while Gracia remained frozen in disbelief at the surprises she was getting from her friend and boss."Slow down, dear," Dave said as he grabbed a tissue and gently wiped the liquid from Aurora's lips, his gaze locking with hers."We..." Aurora began, wanting to clarify the truth."We will get married after Aurora finishes her studies, Mommy," Dave interjected quickly.It was futile to argue, so Aurora decided to go along with the drama Dave had created. "It seems like I need to learn acting now," she muttered to herself as she forced a smile towards Sekar and Ferdinan."As long as you both can maintain proper conduct, it's fine by

After Dave had finished selecting clothes for Aurora, they headed to the food court to buy food and drinks. Dave began to feel annoyed when he realized they were becoming the center of attention among the food court's visitors. Aurora, on the other hand, was nonchalant and didn't care about Dave's irritation. She was accustomed to her status as a public figure.However, suddenly, three teenage girls approached them, greeted them hysterically, and asked for photos and selfies together."Aurora, right? I'm a big fan of Aurora! Turns out you're not just pretty in photos, you're even more beautiful in person. Oh, and your boyfriend is so handsome," one of the girls exclaimed while holding Aurora's hand with admiration. The other two girls stared at Dave with adoring eyes, making him feel uncomfortable and disgusted.Finally, Aurora accepted their photo request and then quickly left the food court before more fans arrived and they got stuck there. Seeing Dave's irritated and uncomfortable

After returning from the shopping center, Dave's demeanor went back to being the "Two-Door Fridge Uncle" – cold and freezing. Aurora chose silence as her response, gazing out at the congested traffic on the road. She just wanted to get back to Dave's house, pack her things, and return to Yogyakarta. She longed to return to her life as it was before she met Dave, to forget everything that had happened between them.Upon arriving at Dave's house, Aurora immediately went into her room and didn't come out until she and Gracia were ready to leave. Dave didn't show up as Aurora said her goodbyes to his parents. A sense of disappointment lingered in Aurora's heart. Once again, she gazed up at the second floor, hoping to catch a glimpse of Dave before leaving. At least seeing him at the front of the house would ease her mind. However, her hopes were dashed as the car that Aurora and Gracia were in left the grand estate, heading towards Juanda Airport.Once again, Aurora checked her phone, hop

In her heart, Aurora cursed herself. Gracia must have already suspected that she had fallen for Dave, even though Aurora herself was still unsure about her feelings. She admitted that she was attracted to Dave's personality, but his cold attitude during their last encounter had made her want to dismiss her feelings before they became a problem.Elsewhere, Dave was just waking up to Sekar knocking on his door, inviting him to have dinner with the family. Sekar was surprised to see Dave's disheveled bed and noticed that he was still wearing the same clothes from this morning when he went out with Aurora. Something must have happened during their time together, especially considering the melancholic look on Aurora's face when she said goodbye.Dave tied his hair up and headed into the bathroom while Sekar sat on the edge of his bed, waiting for her son to finish cleaning up. The sound of the shower came on as Sekar tidied up Dave's bed. Thud... Sekar's heart suddenly pounded as she saw a

Aurora's body froze the moment Reynald hugged her. The masculine scent of his cologne tickled her senses, and her heart raced due to their physical contact. This had happened many times between them in the past, and it never caused her heart to protest like it did now. But the difference this time was that they were meant to be set up together, and it wasn't the familiar excitement she felt with Dave, but rather an awkwardness that had suddenly crept in.Their last encounter was when they were both in 12th grade. Reynald, who stood before her now, was a far cry from the teenager she once knew. His well-built physique was evident through the black t-shirt he wore, and he appeared more mature and groomed."Um... when did you come back from Germany, Rey?" Aurora asked as she pulled away from Reynald's embrace. She averted her gaze, pretending to search for something in her bag, to avoid his penetrating eyes that held a knowing smile."I returned two days ago. I came here on purpose to se

"Who was that handsome guy, Ra? I don't think I've ever seen him before," Delon teased while shifting his chair next to Aurora's as she entered the classroom."Nosy! It's my business whom I go out with. There's no rule against it for a single and beautiful girl like me," Aurora declared, flashing a teasing smile at Delon, who pretended to gag."Pssh... You said you didn't want a boyfriend? And now you have a crush? I'm taking care of you, so you better be careful or I'll sell you out," Delon taunted with raucous laughter, earning a swift binder to his cheek from Aurora."You're such a mean friend. If my handsome face gets scratched, you'll be responsible," Aurora threatened playfully while Delon rubbed his cheek with a combination of annoyance and surprise since they hadn't noticed their lecturer entering the classroom."You're such an idiot!" Aurora retorted as she ordered Delon to move his chair back to its original position.Lost in thought, Aurora left the classroom with a downcas

Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 208. Last Part
After the birth of the twins, the life of Aryan and Laura's small family became even more colorful. There was no happiness that could replace it, but behind all that, Aryan became the subject of jokes among relatives and family members due to the fainting incident while accompanying Laura during her recent surgery."Seriously, you're so funny for fainting next to your wife during her surgery. Luckily, Laura didn't go into shock; it could have been fatal," Andre said with laughter as they had just returned home from the hospital."Let it go, Dad, there's no need to talk about it again," Aryan replied with irritation as he guided Laura into the bedroom, while the twins remained calm in the arms of Liana and Della.Laura rested for a while, trying to ease the pain from the incision in her abdomen following the cesarean section surgery, which still greatly affected her movements. Aryan wiped the sweat from Laura's forehead with a tissue and gently kissed her.

Seven months later…Laura and Aryan were now in the final trimester of her pregnancy. It wouldn't be long before she would give birth to their twin babies, a boy and a girl, according to the ultrasound results. Laura's pregnancy had been progressing smoothly, even though she had experienced morning sickness for two months.She managed to meet all of Dr. Rahma's recommended nutritional requirements. Despite occasional morning sickness and vomiting in the morning, Laura's appetite had increased with her advancing pregnancy. It wasn't surprising that her weight had increased by 30 kg. Dr. Rahma estimated that each baby weighed around 3 kg, so Laura was advised to follow a diet while waiting for the delivery.For the past two months, Laura and Aryan had moved to a ground-floor room, using the living room as their bedroom because Laura wasn't allowed to go up and down the stairs. When Aryan was at the office, Liana, his mother, would be on standby, and Bi Ana an

Aryan's overprotective attitude made Laura both happy and annoyed. She was ecstatic because she felt deeply loved, but at the same time, she was frustrated by Aryan's constant restrictions. Like tonight, Aryan didn't allow her to do anything except go to the bathroom. He prepared a glass of water for her medication along with the prenatal milk they had bought at the mini-market. And, of course, he always accompanied her to the bathroom every time."Thank you, Honey, for all the happiness you've given me. I promise to be the best husband and father for you and our children," Aryan whispered while hugging Laura from behind. He nuzzled his face into the curve of Laura's neck, his right hand gently caressing her still-flat stomach."You're welcome, and thank you for all your love," Laura replied while stroking the back of Aryan's hand, which was wrapped around her belly. Laura couldn't believe that after all the pain she had endured, God had given her a perfect husband and

Slowly, Laura's eyelids opened for the second time, and now it was the peaceful face of Aryan that greeted her. Laura gazed at the handsome man's face in front of her for quite some time. He was the source of her love and greatest strength up to this point. Not satisfied with admiring her husband's handsome face, a sudden sense of curiosity began to disturb her. She glanced at the wall clock, which had stopped at exactly 4 in the early morning. Without much thought, she pulled open the drawer next to her bed, carefully retrieved a pregnancy test from inside it, and entered the bathroom without making a sound that could wake Aryan.Laura's heart pounded loudly as she looked at the pregnancy test that she had dipped into a small container containing her urine. She lifted the test stick slowly with trembling hands, and there it was... two red lines she had been waiting for appeared. It was crystal clear. For a moment, her body felt boneless, and she sat down on the bathroom floo
Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 204. Seminar Proposal
Laura's proposal seminar went smoothly with an A grade, which made her more enthusiastic as she entered the final semester of her college. She only needed to complete the data from her research that she had already conducted. Anton, as her thesis advisor, was now more flexible with all of his supervised students, even though he had a busy schedule as a professor and head of the university's research center. Everything was scheduled, from the day, time, and location of the advisory sessions. If he had any sudden commitments, he would reschedule them at another time, ensuring that all his students for the year progressed smoothly, including leading up to their thesis defense in two weeks."Look at that belly, just like a balloon, Ara," Laura pointed out as she walked with Arabella towards the faculty cafeteria after their last thesis advisory session before the upcoming defense in two weeks."Yeah, it's like a balloon. It can expand and deflate," Arabella replied, pantin

Laura completed her makeup exams without any issues. Everything went according to the schedule set by their respective course instructors. And semester 6 ended with a GPA (Grade Point Average) of 3.6, alongside Arabella, her close friend and now her sister-in-law.Laura spent her semester break learning to cook with her mother-in-law, Liana. They experimented with various recipes from both Indonesia and other countries. Aryan no longer worked late into the night at the office, and if there were urgent tasks, he entrusted them to his personal assistant, Jefri. On Sundays, he spent quality time with his family at home or went out with Laura. Trying out new recipes was something Aryan looked forward to every day because his wife's cooking experiments never disappointed.Finally, the plan to cook together with Laura's friends could be realized. Arabella, along with Andra and Baby Azka, arrived early, followed by Aurora and Laura's younger siblings, who joined in to make th

One week after the surgery, Laura had already started to resume her usual activities. During that week, Aryan had been constantly by Laura's side, handling all his office matters while Andra and Jefri took care of them. Even if there were documents requiring his signature, Jefri would bring them home, allowing Aryan to stay close to Laura and attend to her. Aryan could still manage to check on Jefri's work and reply to emails from his colleagues at home.He did all of this solely for Laura's recovery. Laura often urged him to go to the office, but Aryan refused to budge. He wanted to focus on taking care of Laura until she was completely healed. Arabella and Aurora, as their best friends, always provided their support. Additionally, Nancy and Ricard came to the house to deliver Laura's favorite dishes, prepared by her mother, Della. Many of their classmates also visited Laura at home."Look, Honey, two weeks at home, and my body is getting all soft. How can I resist yo
Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 201. Operation
The long-awaited day finally arrived, the day when Laura was to undergo surgery to remove the cyst in her abdomen. All the preparations for the surgery were in place, and there were only 30 minutes left before Laura would be taken into the operating room. Feelings of relief and worry dominated everyone's thoughts, but they all had to hide those emotions behind smiles to show support for Laura."Aryan, where's Mom?" Laura asked anxiously, looking at the clock on the white-walled room. In five minutes, she would be moved to the operating table, but Aryan had not been seen since he left briefly to go to the bathroom.Liana was nervous, but before she could answer Laura's question, two male and female nurses entered to take Laura to the operating room. Everyone held back their tears as Laura smiled at them, trying to show that she was strong and brave. As the nurses pushed the wheelchair carrying Laura toward the door, Aryan suddenly appeared with a smile. Laura returned h
Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair 200. Laura's Disease
Aryan could only gently pat Laura's trembling shoulder. He was confused about how to calm his wife. Since returning from the hospital the previous night, Laura had been silent in her room. Aryan had been shocked by the results of Dr. Rahma's explanation that Laura had been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. This was the reason for Laura's recent abdominal and hip pain, as well as her occasional fever and nighttime vomiting. What pained Aryan even more was that he had been unaware of Laura's illness. Regret. That was the feeling weighing heavily on Aryan's chest now. He felt like he wanted to pound his own chest in frustration. His heart shattered as he looked at Laura's sad state, a promise to never make her cry that he had now broken."I'll get you breakfast first," Aryan said softly as he kissed the top of Laura's head before leaving the room.Aryan walked to the dining room with a heavy heart. Instead of finding his parents there, he saw Ana, their maid, covering the d
