Tonight, after getting off work, Sean decided to make a stop at Pacific Place. Earlier, after returning from visiting Veronica, Deasy had invited him to have dinner together.
It's unusual, thought Sean. Normally, Deasy only invites him to meet on weekends or holidays. Sean thought there might be something important that Veronica's friend wanted to convey, which is why she suddenly invited him to have dinner outside like this.
"In what context do you come back from work and immediately take me out to dinner?" Sean asked when he had arrived at a Korean restaurant. In front of him, Deasy was already sitting, sipping on a glass of soda.
Continuously stirring her drink with a straw, Deasy glanced at Sean. She took a deep breath, muttering with an expression of annoyance.
"I've been so frustrated since yesterday, Nath."
"Why are you frustrated again? Did Mr. Chandra give you a lot of w
Veronica had just woken up from sleep. As she looked to her left, she unintentionally spotted the figure of Darwin who had just come out of the bathroom and was walking towards the walk-in closet.However, today was a holiday. Yet, the man had chosen to dress as if he were about to attend a meeting outside. Upon closer inspection of his attire, it seemed like her husband wanted to go out for some exercise."Are you awake?" Darwin asked as he approached the bed. Reaching for his watch on the nightstand, he quickly put it on his wrist while sitting right on the edge of the bed."About 10 minutes ago," Veronica nodded."10 minutes? So, you saw what I was up to?"Veronica nodded again."Yes. I saw you busy picking out clothes. So, where are you planning to go on a holiday like this?""Because we haven't exercised together in a while, Kennedy
Darwin grinned slightly. Immediately afterward, the man walked over to the closet. He chose one of the shoes from inside to then bring it to Veronica.Once he was right in front of his wife, Darwin sat down without hesitation. He reached for Veronica's foot and helped her put on the previously chosen shoe."What are you doing, Win?" Veronica asked curiously while continuing to observe her husband's actions."I'm helping you put on your shoes. What else? Besides, I'm double-checking to make sure your feet are really okay and not hurting."Veronica sighed. Why was the man in front of her being so excessive? She had already honestly said that she was fine."My feet are already fine. Also, why did you choose that style of shoe?"Darwin looked up. Still holding Veronica's ankle, he replied, "What's wrong with the shoes I picked?""The heels ar
"Finally, after such a long time of not hanging out together, today I got to chat with you again."Deasy greeted Veronica with an ecstatic smile as she arrived. This evening, the two of them had decided to meet after work.Remembering back, it had been over a week since they last saw each other, not even a brief exchange of messages or phone calls. Normally, these two women always met up, whether for lunch together or going out on weekends.Aside from being busy with their own matters, Deasy was actually reluctant because the last time she met Veronica, she got a severe scolding from Darwin. Fortunately, earlier today Veronica reached out first and invited her to meet this evening."No need to be overly dramatic. You're the one pretending to be busy. It's unusual for you to not call or text me for the past few days," Veronica complained as she opened the menu handed by the café waitress.
On this Saturday, Darwin indeed has a day off work. After dropping off Veronica, who wanted to do some treatments at the salon, he decided to visit his parents' house. Darwin thought that instead of getting bored waiting for his wife, it would be better to pay a visit and chat with his parents.Moreover, the distance between the salon and the Walters Family's residence is very short. So, it wouldn't take long, especially considering there's no traffic jam.Upon arriving at the Alamanda district, Darwin immediately parked his car in the driveway. As soon as he got out, he could see his mother who was busy arranging the flowers she had planted in the front yard of the house."Good morning, Mom."Claudia Walters, who was engrossed in spraying and arranging decorative flower pots by the side of the house, turned to look. A wide smile appeared on the 50-year-old woman's lips as she saw her beloved son sud
"Win, in your opinion, which dress looks better on me?"Veronica seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma as she tried to choose a dress to wear to her father's company birthday party. She had pulled out almost her entire collection of best dresses from the wardrobe. Deliberately, she laid them out. She even asked Darwin to help her decide."Should I go with the black Sabrina-style one? The off-shoulder broken white? The mermaid cut, or just the cocktail dress?" Veronica asked once again, showing each dress to Darwin, who was standing there struggling to button his freshly worn white shirt.In the midst of the barrage of questions, Darwin momentarily turned to look. Furrowing his brow, he then responded."Up to you. They all seem suitable for you."Veronica pouted. That's often how it goes when seeking advice from men. They always play it safe, and sometimes avoid trouble by giving the 'up to you' a
Throughout his lifetime, Darwin never expected that his life's journey could be as complicated as it is now. However, if we delve deep into the past, his life could be considered quite joyful.His career and job had been going so smoothly. Even in matters of romance, not a single obstacle had arisen. Building a relationship from always being together, then being separated for some time, didn't diminish the flames of love between Darwin and Vivian.Both of them managed to weather all the storms that came their way. They kept looking out for each other, offering mutual support, and promising to stay loyal no matter the circumstances.Until a significant problem emerged. The sudden instability of the Infinix Group's position prompted Magnus Walters to seek help from a close friend. Feeling indebted and recalling a past promise, this led the Chinese descendant man to arrange a marriage between Darwin and the friend's daughte
"Happy birthday, Mr. Galael."Sean smiled widely as he had just arrived at a restaurant, where Deasy warmly and enthusiastically welcomed him. Not only that, but his ex-girlfriend's friend, Deasy, had even prepared and given him a gift box that was probably prepared well in advance to be given to him.Sean was certainly happy. He had even forgotten that today was his birthday. He felt lucky that there were still others who remembered and went out of their way to celebrate and surprise him."Oh my gosh. So, you called me earlier and told me to hurry to Holycow because you had prepared all of this?"Deasy smiled and nodded. She had reserved a spot at the famous restaurant a few days ago to celebrate Sean's birthday together.Actually, this wasn't the first time. Before Sean continued his studies abroad, Deasy had celebrated his birthday with him and Veronica. The three of them had
Before truly enjoying her holiday and departure to South Korea with Darwin, Veronica appeared busy wrapping up remaining tasks. Since morning, the woman had been engrossed at her work desk.From checking several important files, compiling signed deadline reports, to sorting out documents that had been approved and ready to be sent.Sean, aware of Veronica's busyness in her office, took the initiative to help. After lunchtime, he deliberately went down to the cafeteria to buy drinks and a cake for Veronica to snack on while finishing her work."Have the drink first. I also got you a red velvet slice to enjoy while going through the documents," Sean offered, handing Veronica a bottled tea and a small box of red velvet cake he had bought.Veronica looked up and simultaneously broke into a smile. She simply accepted the warm gesture Sean extended to her."You're going through so much
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
