2024-10-29 19:42:56After returning from work this evening, Veronica decided not to go straight home. With a driver to accompany her, she intentionally stopped by one of her favorite cafes. She ordered a Green Tea Frappuccino and enjoyed her solitude in peace.
While sipping on the provided drink, Veronica's thoughts occasionally drifted. She still remembered Darwin's words from the previous night when he had called her.
"Don't you have any desire to come back to my place? I miss you so much, Ve. Don't you feel the same way?"
Veronica fell silent when Darwin asked that question. Of course, she missed her husband. But the disappointment she had felt was still palpable. Besides, how could she go to Darwin's home without her father giving his permission, and without Darwin proving himself as a suitable partner?
"No, until you convince Dad that you're worthy of being his son-in-law."
"I'll prov

He gained a lot of new knowledge and insights from his cousin, who had previously worked with Foxtail.From these intense days of discussion, Darwin learned what criteria Foxtail was looking for. He was truly grateful because Randy had directly asked Rama to help him."So, what do you think is better? Presenting a summary of the data or explaining the whole thing in detail during tomorrow's presentation?"Rama smiled. He was sitting with Darwin in the TV room and reached for one of the papers in front of his cousin."In my opinion, you should just read the summary.""Why just the summary?

After attending the meeting, Darwin hurried back to the office. Together with his team, he evaluated today's presentations. Additionally, at Randy's initiative, Rama, who had already finished his work, was asked to join Darwin at the office.Upon arrival, Rama was immediately asked by Randy to help Darwin prepare the materials for the presentation in two days."Congratulations, Win. I know you have a natural talent for this," Rama said sincerely."It's also thanks to your guidance and help. Without all of you, Infinix Group wouldn't have made it today.""So..." Rama continued. "What else can I do to assist you?""You can help Darwin prepare accurate materials for the final presentation, Ram," Randy added. "Who knows, you might have some strategies that Darwin can use in the final selection."Rama promptly sat down, grabbed a pen and paper, and began jotting d

"Veronica never expected Darwin to be this daring. He came out of the blue to meet her. And now, he even took the opportunity to declare his desire to involve Veronica in a husband-wife relationship.Veronica wasn't unwilling. Although she didn't openly admit it, she certainly missed being touched by her husband. However, Veronica was worried that while they were in the midst of their intimacy, her father might suddenly return from an event and catch them like this in the room."Dad could kill you if he found out what we're doing, Win," Veronica reminded him.Darwin didn't care. Instead of responding, he grinned again. He released his grip on Veronica's body and then unexpectedly pulled down the fabric of his pants. He approached Veronica again, then untied the knot of the silk nightgown she was wearing until it fell off."That's why I have to be quick, Ve. Besides, it's funny if a husband can't touc

A wide smile graced his face as he recalled the romantic events he and Veronica had experienced the previous night.In the midst of all this urgency, he daringly approached and invited his wife to have an intimate encounter. Even halfway through, they were almost caught when Veronica's father suddenly arrived and knocked on Veronica's door repeatedly.Luckily, everything was under control.

Around one o'clock in the afternoon, Darwin was already present at the Colosseum. Randy and Kennedy also joined the team, accompanying Darwin. Both of his cousins came directly because they wanted to provide support and be the first to congratulate Darwin when he passed this prestigious selection. It's not excessive. Randy and Kennedy are confident in Darwin's abilities to outperform the rivals and other remaining candidates. That's why, because it's considered a fierce competition, both of them don't want to miss the opportunity to witness Darwin's success. "I pray you make it through, Win. Besides, your abilities are undeniable. If you weren't exceptional, how could you be sent to Korea to lead the company there?" Kennedy exclaimed proudly. She tried her best to boost Darwin's spirits so that his performance could be even more impressive. "No need to exaggerate, Ken," Randy interjected before Darwin could respond. "Even though

Darwin was quite confident that his hearing was not the issue. In a humble position, he pleaded with his father-in-law for a second chance. However, instead of being granted, the man in front of him presented two important choices he had to make."Veronica or Infinix Group?" Damian repeated with emphasis. "The decision is entirely in your hands."Darwin remained silent for a while. Actually, making a choice was easy, but not in this case. This time, his fate was like a double-edged sword. Choosing Veronica meant losing Infinix Group, and vice versa, choosing Infinix Group meant letting go of Veronica."Why?" Damian questioned when Darwin didn't provide an answer. "Are you having trouble deciding?"Darwin nodded as he rose from his kneeling position. What else could he do?

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
