2023-09-20 09:00:30Right when dinnertime arrived, Darwin decided to head down to the first floor. Dragging his feet lazily, the man walked slowly towards the dining area.
Just as he took his seat, Darwin could see how Veronica, who had arrived earlier, had a puzzled expression on her face. He wasn't sure what was actually happening, but he was convinced that his wife was clearly looking for something.
"What's wrong with you? I've been seeing you looking confused for a while now," Darwin asked as he scooped some rice onto his plate.
While Veronica was busy inspecting each drawer partition in the kitchen set, she glanced over briefly. A few moments later, she chose to step forward and approach the dining table to speak with Darwin.
"Did you see my sushi box?"
Darwin could see a clear sense of desperation on Veronica's face. Maybe she was tired or frustrated from searching for something that hadn't be

Darwin had just finished getting dressed. Walking over to the bed, he found Veronica still fast asleep.Last night, after finishing up a report, Darwin had seen Veronica wake up briefly before falling back asleep. Now, feeling that his wife had rested enough, he took the initiative to wake her up.Besides, Veronica hadn't eaten or drunk anything since last night. He was worried she might be dehydrated or even weak due to not having any energy sources entering her body.For a moment, before actually waking her up, Darwin chose to observe for a bit. Gazing at Veronica's calm face as she slept. There was no longer that fearful expression he had seen before.If you really looked closely, Veronica did have a pretty face and a well-proportioned body like the dream women of men. But, for some reason, Darwin always brushed that aside. In his mind and heart, there was only frustration because Veronica's prese

It was already midnight, twelve o'clock. Darwin and Veronica were now both lying in bed, back to back.Knowing that his wife wasn't asleep yet, Darwin cleared his throat, summoning the courage from somewhere. This time, he deliberately tried to lighten the mood."You're not sleeping?" he asked, still lying back-to-back."Are you also wondering why I'm not sleeping?"Instead of an answer, Veronica asked back. Darwin even scratched his eyebrow out of confusion, trying to figure out how to express the rational reason why he hadn't fallen asleep yet."Just not sleepy.""Same here. Besides, I'm sure there's something you want to ask me, right?" Veronica guessed, as if she could read what Darwin was thinking."How did you know? Is your dad a psychic or something?""No, my dad's a businessman."Darwin stifled a laugh.

Darwin awoke from his sleep. Gathering his awareness while blinking his eyes, he keenly felt how his left arm was tingling and sore.As he slowly lowered his gaze, Darwin was immediately surprised. There was Veronica, currently sleeping in a position where she was hugging his body.The woman's breaths sounded very steady. Her peaceful face indicated that her sleep must be quite sound at the moment.Darwin slowly attempted to pull his arm and body away from Veronica's embrace. But instead of letting go, she reflexively tightened her hug even more. This left Darwin even more perplexed and ultimately forced him to wake her up."Veronica..." the man whispered. "Veronica Ashborne. Wake up quickly," he gently commanded, occasionally patting his wife's cheek.Veronica didn't pay any attention whatsoever. It's possible she didn't hear. Or perhaps her sleep was so deep that she wasn't awa

Darwin and Veronica appear comfortable, even chatting with each other. Their conversation is dominated by work-related stuff.You could say that spending a few days together in Malaysia helped build a bit of chemistry between them.

For nearly an hour, Darwin wandered around the mall looking for something. He went from the trinket shops to the high-end branded stores. He was really trying hard to find something that would be just right for him to buy and give as a gift.Now, what Darwin was doing wasn't without reason or cause. It all started from a playful curiosity and a serious case of being 'nosy squared', which ended up making him curious all by himself.Two days ago, Darwin was having a meeting with a client at a Japanese restaurant. He intentionally bought sushi for Veronica to have as her lunch.Somehow, after handing over the food to Veronica directly in her room, he found himself tempted to eavesdrop on the conversation between his wife and Deasy, who happened to be visiting the Infinix Group building.Since the executive offices were on a dedicated floor at the far end, it was certain that no employees would be passin

"Can't you just not contact me for just one day?"Randy grumbled in frustration as he approached Darwin at one of the bars that Darwin often frequented. An hour ago, his cousin had called, inviting him to meet up. And somehow, what issue would be discussed this time was still unclear.It was a holiday, after all. Randy really wanted to rest at home. However, those hopes and plans were completely dashed because Darwin whined, asking to be accompanied, claiming he was feeling down and needed a friend to talk to."Come on, Ran. I'll treat you tonight. Besides, I don't have any friends to go out with.""Why not ask Kennedy?" Randy retorted over the phone. Having just finished his shower, he sighed lazily, irritated that he was being asked to go out without even having had a chance to relax."It's a bit complicated if I ask Kennedy," Darwin replied softly.

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
