"Sir, this is the file that needs to be signed. The rest, I've already sent as per your previous instructions."

Darwin nodded and accepted the documents handed over by his secretary. He took a moment to read them and then proceeded to put his signature in several designated columns. He wasn't sure how many documents he had already signed.

"Also, after this, please check if Leighton's monthly documents have been responded to or not. I'm curious about the performance evaluation they will send."

The secretary nodded in understanding. As she took the signed documents from Darwin, she responded to her boss.

"I'll check right away, sir. I'll inform you as soon as I have an update."

Darwin nodded again and allowed his secretary to continue her work. Once she left, Darwin checked his watch, which was wrapped around his wrist. It was already past four in the afternoon. He thought about co

    After hearing the news that the doctor conveyed about what was happening to Veronica, Darwin joined in. He deliberately followed the medical staff who were moving Veronica from the delivery room to the intensive care unit or ICU.In his mixed emotions, Darwin couldn't think or say anything. One thing he had been repeating in his heart all this time was a prayer for safety and hope to God, that his wife could recover and return to her normal condition as before."Stay strong, Win. Veronica will surely wake up soon. We all believe she can get through this," Kennedy said, trying to comfort Darwin, who appeared distressed."Yeah, Win. You have to stay strong," Randy added with a serious expression. "If you feel down and hopeless, it's not good for Uncle Damian and your newborn baby. Besides, just stay calm, and if you need anything, we'll all help you and Veronica, no matter what it is."Darwin nodded ag

    Darwin paced back and forth in front of the intensive care unit. He had been anxiously waiting for further updates about Veronica, who was currently undergoing examination.In his heart, Darwin continued to pray, asking God for a miraculous recovery for his wife so that her condition could return to stability and normalcy as it used to be. Meanwhile, next to Darwin, Damian was also present. After witnessing Veronica's response and informing the medical team, Darwin immediately contacted his father-in-law. So now, both of them were anxiously waiting right in front of the room."Veronica will get better, Dad," Darwin tried to reassure. Despite his extreme anxiety, he felt obligated to provide comfort to his father-in-law to prevent him from worrying excessively, which could lead to stress."Dad knows that too, Win. Dad is confident that Veronica will soon wake up and recover just like before."Darwin n

    "Veronica, how's it going? When are you going to announce your baby's name? We're all waiting for it. It's like waiting for the announcement of the elected president, taking forever," complained Randy while visiting Veronica in the hospital.Two days after undergoing post-delivery care and getting through the critical period, Veronica's condition could be considered improving. She could now sit up and even slowly get used to holding her newborn baby.Veronica was certainly delighted. Besides being allowed to sleep together, she had also started slowly breastfeeding, after allowing her son to consume formula milk for a few days.At this point, almost all the family members had come to visit her. From the presence of her husband, followed by her in-laws, and not forgetting Darwin's cousins who never missed a visit and always livened up the atmosphere."What's the big deal, anyway? You see

    Today, Andromeda is exactly one month old. Well in advance, Veronica and Darwin had both made plans. They intended to host a small celebration to formally introduce their son to the extended family and a few close business colleagues."Are you sure you want to organize and oversee everything yourself?" Darwin asked when he saw Veronica bustling around, checking every detail of the preparations for the afternoon event."Yes, dear. I want everything to be just the way I want it, so I need to double-check everything myself," Veronica replied.Darwin sighed softly. He knew Veronica had been having trouble sleeping lately. Every night, his wife seemed restless, often waking up in the middle of the night even though Andromeda wasn't crying or asking for milk. That's why Darwin thought it would be best if she rested as much as possible instead of getting busy like she was now."We could hire an event organi

    Day by day, month by month, time passed by just like that. Andromeda, who was eagerly awaited just yesterday, is now one year old. Thinking that their son has adapted well and believing that Andromeda can be left on his own, Veronica decided to start working again.Of course, making this decision was not easy. There were many considerations and lengthy discussions that she had to engage in with her husband. Initially, Darwin was hesitant as well. He was worried that their son might lack love and attention if Veronica divided her focus and thoughts between work."Darling... you don't need to worry. Didn't we already discuss this when I was pregnant with Andromeda?" Veronica asked during their serious conversation."Yes, Ve," Darwin nodded. There was no way he could forget something so important. "I'm not forgetting. The issue now is that I'd feel sorry if Andromeda suddenly had to be taken care of full-time by a babysitte

    With difficulty resisting, in the end, Veronica lost, and reluctantly followed her father to quickly enter the hospital. After briefly discussing with the attending doctor in the ER, Damian and Veronica were finally informed that Cristina had received treatment and had even been moved to a VIP nursing room ten minutes ago. "What actually happened to my wife, doctor?" asked Damian with a serious expression. He was naturally shocked to suddenly receive news that his wife had become unconscious. "From the examination results, it can be seen that the arteries supplying blood to the heart have become hardened and narrowed. This condition is usually triggered by the accumulation of cholesterol and blood clots in the arteries. That's why it can be concluded that Mrs. Cristina is suffering from coronary heart disease," the doctor explained. Damian was once again taken aback. After he himself had been diagnosed with heart d

    "All night long, Veronica couldn't stop thinking about what Darwin said about his stepmother. Veronica's inner thoughts continued to churn. A dilemma arose within her - should she follow Darwin's advice to reconcile or stick to her decision to maintain distance, or if possible, continue to pretend that Cristina doesn't exist in her life.Distracted and lost in thought since waking up, Darwin noticed and was puzzled. He finally spoke up, inquiring about his wife's state."Ve, what's bothering you? You've been silent for a while now," the man asked curiously.Veronica looked up, smiled faintly, and then shook her head."It's nothing," she replied briefly, continuing her breakfast.Now, Darwin smiled. He reached out for Veronica's free hand and held it gently. Even though they had only been together for a few years, he seemed to understand what was going on with his wife.&nb

The one with lots of teddy bears?""That one is from South Korea.""Why isn't Andromeda in any of them?""Well, sweetheart, you weren't born yet."Darwin couldn't stop laughing. He looked affectionately at Andromeda, who seemed either annoyed or maybe a little upset because in every baby photo he showed, there was not a single picture of him.At just three years old, Andromeda had grown into a curious and critical thinker. Every day, he had new questions or things to say to Darwin and Veronica."But Andro also wants to go here and here, Dad," the toddler said, pointing to photos of places Darwin and Veronica had visited before.Darwin nodded, of course.

    Randy glanced at the circular watch on his left wrist, feeling uneasy. He was both hopeful and worried that he might be late to pick up Ghea and then take his wife to a dinner event with the extended Walters family. It required extra persuasion to make his wife agree to attend the dinner tonight. It wasn't because Randy had any issues or objections to what his wife wanted to do. Since Ghea entered the last month of her pregnancy, she became the type of woman who preferred to stay at home, lounging in her room while enjoying snacks and watching Korean dramas. Actually, Randy had no problem with whatever activities Ghea wanted to engage in. As long as Ghea was happy, he was fine with it. It's just that sometimes it became a bit troublesome for him. Due to her extreme laziness, Ghea often refused to go anywhere. "Darling... I'm sorry I'm a bit late. The traffic on the toll road was really bad." Upon arriving at the house to pick up Ghea, and now that his wife was already in the car,

    "Ghea, Mom, I beg you, please drop the charges against Giselle's husband. Mom, I know he's wrong, but at least show your compassion." "After trying to live peacefully for days, Clara suddenly visited Ghea at her residence. Despite what her stepmother had been doing all this time, she approached and pleaded with Ghea, asking that her youngest daughter be released or at least given a lenient punishment." "Clara felt Giselle didn't deserve a harsh punishment. Especially after all the things she and Giselle had done, Maxwell also took a firm stand. The man she had been with for thirty years was now filing for divorce. He didn't even want to accept an apology for what he had done to Ghea." "Enough, Mom, suffering from being kicked out and divorced by Dad. Now, Giselle is Mom's only hope because Mario is not willing to help at all. That's why, Mom, I'm asking you, please free Giselle in any way you can." Ghea sat silently in her seat, listening. For a moment, she didn't comment on the r

    Ghea has sighed deeply countless times. She feels extremely nervous thinking about Randy's reaction when he meets Giselle in a short while. Ghea is actually angry about what Giselle did. However, her heart still feels afraid and worried that her husband might lose control and be provoked emotionally. Ghea only just found out that Randy can look so terrifying when angry. This is something she really wants to avoid. Then, when the person they've been waiting for finally arrives in the investigation room, Ghea observes and can clearly see that the first thing Randy does is smirk. He tries to control his emotions by remaining calm, but he always appears alert. Randy continues to watch from a distance until the woman they've been waiting for finally speaks up and starts talking. "What's really going on here? Why did the police officer call me all sorts of things to come here?" Giselle asks casually when the woman is seated in front of her. "We deliberately called and asked Miss to come

    After receiving the news from Alvin the night before that the suspected person who hit Ghea had been apprehended, Randy decided to go to the police station early in the morning. He intentionally brought Ghea along because the police needed her statement to further investigate the accident that had befallen her some time ago. Exiting the black Range Rover he was driving, Randy tightly held Ghea's hand as they walked together towards the interrogation room. Once inside, they were directed by the officers to check the man who had been successfully detained. There, a man around 35 years old sat on the defendant's chair with his head bowed. Randy then cast a penetrating gaze, assessing the appearance of the man who had caused his wife's accident and might have led to a miscarriage. Randy's jaw seemed to tighten. His calm face slowly turned red. Emotions were clearly evident on the man's face. If there were no police officers present, the narrow-eyed man might have attacked or sought rev

    "Ghea, forgive me, Papa couldn't be there to protect you." Maxwell hugged his daughter, who was now sitting on the bed in her room. He was extremely saddened by the recent tragedy that had befallen his daughter. "Why apologize? It's not Papa's fault. It's just a stroke of bad luck. The most important thing is that Ghea is okay." "But, Papa is really sad to hear about your accident. Papa is worried that something bad might happen to you." Ghea smiled, gently stroking her father's hand, trying to reassure and calm him. "Ghea is fine, Papa. No need to worry, let alone think about anything bad happening. I promise not to make Papa sad like this again." After ensuring that his daughter was fine, Maxwell and Mario decided to go down to the first floor while chatting with their son-in-law. "Randy, thank you for keeping Papa and Mario informed about Ghea's condition." Since he arrived, Maxwell appeared anxious and worried. He was undoubtedly shocked by the recent unfortunate events. M

    Upon hearing the news that Ghea had been in an accident, Randy felt his heart almost stop beating. Confronted with the reality that his wife's life might be in danger, he suddenly found himself short of breath. He couldn't speak now. Just silent for a moment, until the police finished delivering the news through the phone call he received. "Ran, what's wrong with you?" Darwin wondered when he saw Randy's face, which was once relaxed and playful, now turning pale. His cousin seemed to stand up quickly, getting ready to leave. "Ghea had an accident, Win. She's in the hospital now." Darwin was startled at that moment too. Both equally shocked to hear the news Randy had just conveyed. Without much thought, he offered to accompany Randy, who might be in distress or unable to think clearly. Driving his vehicle at an above-average speed, Darwin and Randy arrived at the hospital in just 10 minutes. Walking briskly, they went straight to the emergency unit. There, several police officers w

    Meanwhile, Randy, bombarded with so many questions from Darwin, didn't answer immediately. Adjusting his sitting position, he then slowly began to explain. "The story is quite long, Win." "As long as it takes, I'll listen," Darwin quickly responded. "Don't worry; my schedule is clear today." "Do you remember Agista, right?" "Yeah, your ex who left to marry that sugar daddy?" "Hmm..." Randy sighed lazily. "Yeah, she became the representative for Velfire. Velfire appointed her to oversee the progress of the project in Indonesia. She was placed in Akasia's head office for two months." "And then?" "So, a while ago, I had a business trip to Singapore. It was also for a meeting with Velfire to discuss the collaboration's progress. Initially, everything went smoothly. No problems at all." "Well then, why did you unilaterally cancel the partnership, Ran," Darwin interrupted. Randy hadn't finished telling the story yet. "Listen first," Randy growled. He explained the matter to his cou

    "I'm heading to work now. You can relax at home." Randy had just finished his breakfast. Accompanied by Ghea to the door, he prepared to leave for the office. "I'm sure you'll miss being able to peek into Uncle's office or hang out there as usual," Ghea complained with a gloomy face. For almost two months of interning at Randy's office, she had gotten used to spending the whole day meeting and interacting with her husband. "Don't be sad like that. I'll be thinking about you at the office. Or, how about this. What if we have lunch together later?" "Yes!" Ghea replied immediately, nodding her head. The girl responded enthusiastically to her husband's invitation. "Should I pick up Uncle from the office or what? Anyway, I really want to meet Uncle for lunch later." Randy laughed. Fondly, he cupped Ghea's reddened cheeks. He was somewhat surprised to see Ghea acting so spoiled. Her behavior was indeed very different from before. Usually, Ghea often hesitated to express her feelings o

    Upon careful consideration, there are many reasons why being with her husband, Randy Walters, is highly enjoyable for Ghea. Aside from her husband's handsome appearance and athletic physique desired by many women, Ghea acknowledges that the youngest of the Walters family is skillful in the bedroom. Every time they are together, Ghea has been charmed and satisfied numerous times. For example, on a night like this, reflecting the intense longing after being apart for two days, Randy clearly doesn't allow Ghea to move an inch from the bed. He continues to caress her, worshiping every inch of Ghea's body with great intensity. Ghea's eyes then close. Sensing vividly how Randy's lips kiss her wet shoulders and the exposed neck, causing her hair to stand on end. Right when he lifts his face, intentionally approaching and parting his lips, Randy then slips his tongue into Ghea's mouth. Playing around there. Deliberately teasing, until eventually, Ghea responds in kind. Meanwhile, Randy's h
