96. Returning
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After returning from the office and arriving home, Darwin stayed silent for a while in his room. After cleaning up, instead of having dinner, he chose to be alone in his office.
While sitting and daydreaming, Darwin occasionally glanced at a row of photos of himself with Veronica that they took while on vacation together. Unconsciously, Darwin smiled, hoping to relive the beautiful moments with his wife, even though he knew it was impossible, especially since they were soon going to part ways.
"Why did I have to fall in love at the last moment like this, Ve? I should have realized and learned to love you from the beginning," Darwin said as he wiped a tear from one of the photos in front of him.
Lost in thought, Darwin's phone rang. Glancing briefly, he saw the name Randy on the caller ID. Despite his reluctance, he chose to answer the call. Darwin knew that Randy would keep calling if he deliberately ignored it.

A few weeks earlier,"Don't be too confident if Darwin has changed, dear. You should also consider that he might be doing all of this out of fear of becoming poor and afraid that the woman he loves will suffer because of you. I'm sure Darwin intentionally backed down because he didn't want you to forcibly take away what he already has."In Damian' room, right in front of her father, Veronica shook her head repeatedly. She contradicted the argument she had just heard. Veronica was convinced that Darwin had indeed changed and was not as selfish as he was at the beginning of their marriage. Veronica was very sure that Darwin genuinely loved her."Darwin has changed, Dad. Besides, he can't possibly go back to his ex-girlfriend. Veronica is 100% sure of that."Damian chuckled dismissively. No matter how hard his daughter defended Darwin, he had already lost respect for his son-in-law.

Darwin was left speechless after hearing what Damian had just explained. He was almost breathless after learning that he would be thoroughly tested by his father-in-law."So, all of this was Papa's plan?""Yes," Damian nodded. "I was the one who devised all of this, including the announcement of the results by Foxtail."Darwin was once again taken aback. He hadn't fully recovered from the shock he had been feeling, and now he had to clarify what he had just heard."What do you mean, Papa?"Damian smiled in his characteristic manner. He nodded and provided a lengthy explanation."Actually, the Infinix Group passed the selection conducted by Foxtail. Yes, even though in reality, Sean still secured the first position, the Infinix Group actually ranked second. But because the initial goal was to test you, I intentionally negotiated with Foxtail to exchange the po

Darwin woke up with a wide smile on his lips. In the embrace of the man, there was the figure of Veronica, still fast asleep.After being separated for quite some time and sleeping alone, Darwin didn't waste any time last night in reuniting with his wife, who had just returned to their home. Darwin was even determined that the next night, he would persuade Veronica to spend time together intimately. All of this was done so that they could finally have a child, as their parents had hoped for all this time."Darling," Veronica called out as she woke up from her sleep. Slowly opening her eyes, the woman seemed comfortable as she tightened her embrace around Darwin's body."Morning, Darling. How was your sleep? Peaceful?"Veronica nodded. How could her sleep not be peaceful when her husband had been faithful in embracing her all night long?"Very peaceful compared to the nights befor

As planned, tonight Darwin truly redeemed his promise to Veronica to have a good time, to relieve their longing. After doing what they desired, lying down and cuddling, Darwin engaged in a conversation with Veronica before deciding to rest. "I love you, Ve. I just don't want us to be separated in the future." Veronica looked up, gazing at Darwin's face, then cupped her husband's cheeks before planting a deep kiss on his lips. Veronica seemed to savor Darwin's lips gently, and after breaking the kiss, she responded to Darwin's earlier statement. "I love you too, Win. If not, how could I repeatedly beg Papa to stop his plan of testing you?" Darwin smiled. He gently caressed Veronica's cheeks alternately with his hand. "But no matter how many tests they put me through, I managed to convince Papa Damian that I deserve to be your partner, right? Besides, I was determined to win you back no
Imperfect Marriage : A Billionaire Love Scandal 101. Veronica's Secret
Darwin initially thought he deserved the reward for the foolish and unbecoming behavior he had done in the past. He even took it on the chin when Damian assigned a task as a sign of his seriousness in proving whether he was worthy or not to continue accompanying Veronica as her husband.Truly, when he found out that his fate was manipulated by his father-in-law, Darwin felt two things: disappointment and relief. Darwin had thought that his commitment to fighting for Veronica was considered a mere game. But on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel relieved because no matter what, from the beginning, he was serious about doing what was instructed and ultimately proved that he deserved to be Veronica's partner and continue his marriage to his wife.Darwin thought everything would end here. He never expected that there would be something else he needed to clarify to his wife like tonight."For God's sake, Veronica. Can y

Veronica blinked her eyes for a moment. When her consciousness fully gathered, she turned to the side and didn't find Darwin lying beside her.For a moment, Veronica fell silent. With a furrowed brow, shortly after, she remembered Darwin's question from the previous night when he had left the room. Veronica thought maybe her husband had spent some time resting in the office and hadn't returned.Glancing briefly at the digital clock on the nightstand, it showed that it was only six in the morning. Veronica quickly got up to head to the bathroom. After finishing her morning routine and applying minimal makeup, Veronica hurriedly made her way to the dining room. She thought this might be her chance to see her husband.However, Veronica's hope faded. Upon entering the dining room, once again, she didn't find Darwin there. Perhaps he had an early work schedule or was intentionally avoiding her."Mr. Darwi

Today, as promised, Darwin indeed picked up Veronica at the Vortex Group building. On the way home, the man appeared quiet and engrossed in his tablet, choosing not to engage in conversation with Veronica as he usually would.Meanwhile, Veronica herself chose not to disturb him. She knew her husband was not in a good mood, so instead of reacting to his earlier gruff attitude, she remained silent, hoping that his anger would not last much longer.Upon arriving home, Veronica hurriedly freshened up. When she was done, she took the initiative to go to the kitchen, wanting to prepare dinner for her husband to enjoy.However, once again, Veronica had to face the reality. As dinner time came and went, and even as she waited until eight o'clock, Darwin still didn't come down to the dining room.

It was already 5 PM. Since the morning, Darwin had decided to play golf with Kennedy and Randy. Around noon, they had lunch together. And now, he was sitting leisurely in a café, enjoying the hustle and bustle of the city while observing people spending their holiday time."Aren't you going home, Win? We've been out all day. Veronica might be looking for you," Kennedy reminded him.As Darwin's cousin who had invited him to play golf, Kennedy began to feel uneasy because they had been out of the house all day. She was worried that Veronica might be looking for her husband."Don't worry, Veronica won't look for me," Darwin replied casually."Why wouldn't she look for you?" Randy inquired curiously. Being naturally curious, she would always ask further questions about anything she found interesting."The bottom line is, I'm not talking to Veronica right now. There's one reaso

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
