Chapter 106 While we were happily chatting, my grandmother Matilde, grandfather Rafael, and Rocky's grandmother, Grandma Anita, arrived. Everyone immediately turned to look at the door. "Grandma Matilde! Grandpa Rafael! Grandma Anita! How are you?" I greeted, standing up to meet them. "Child, we heard the good news so we came here right away," grandma Matilde said, hugging me. "Congratulations, Angie and Rocky! We're excited to see the new member of the family," Lolo Rafael said, smiling. "Thank you, grandma and grandpa.

Chapter 107 "Thank you, love. I'm sure our baby will love his/her room," I said, holding Rocky's hand. After I finished eating, Rocky helped me get up and walk around the house. I know I need to rest, but I also know that a little exercise is important for the health of me and the baby. "Love, I feel like eating durian without thorns," I said. Rocky smiled and chuckled softly. "Durian without thorns? That seems hard to find, love, but I'll do everything to find it," he said, stroking my belly. "Thank you, love. I know it's hard to find, but I really want some right now," I said, smiling. "Okay, love. Just rest there. I'll go out to look for durian," Rocky said, getting dressed. While Rocky was getting ready to leave, I felt his excitement and love. I know he'll do anything to make me and our baby happy. "Love, be careful when you go out, okay?" I said, holding his hand. "Yes, love. I'll be right back," he replied, kissing my forehead. While waiting for Rocky, I decided to re
Chapter 108 Angie's POV Time has passed, and my eldest son, Gabriel, is currently in Grade 10. The twins are already in kindergarten. My husband, Rocky, is busy with his business, and I feel sorry for him. He comes home very late to the mansion. One evening, while waiting for Rocky to come home, I decided to prepare a special dinner for him. I know he's very tired from work, so I want to make him feel that he's important to us. While I was cooking in the kitchen, I heard the door open. I immediately went out of the kitchen and greeted Rocky. "Love, you're here. How was your day?" I asked, hugging him. "Tired, love. But I'm happy to be home and see you," Rocky replied, kissing my forehead. "I prepared a special dinner for you. I know you're tired, so I want to show you our love," I said, holding his hand. "Thank you, love. I really appreciate it," Rocky replied, smiling. While we were eating dinner, we talked about our day and our plans for the future. I felt the warmth of lo
Chapter 109 After a few hours, I finished everything I needed to do. As I was walking, one of my designers approached me. She showed me her dress design. "Ma'am Angie, I'd like to show you my new design. I hope you like it," Mia said, handing me her sketchbook. I looked at the design and smiled. "Wow, Mia, your design is beautiful! It's so elegant and modern. What's your inspiration for this?" I asked, praising her work. "Thank you, Ma'am. My inspiration here is modern women who are strong and independent. I want to show in the design that even if it's simple, their beauty and strength will still be noticed," Mia explained, her eyes sparkling with happiness. "Your concept is wonderful, Mia. I'm sure this will be popular with our clients. Go ahead, keep up the good work," I said, handing back the sketchbook. "Thank you, Ma'am Angie. I'll continue working," Mia replied, happily returning to her workstation. As I walked back to my office, I felt happy and proud of my staff. I kno
Chapter 110 Then a great idea popped into my head. "Love, I was thinking, why don't we join our staff's outing? Or maybe combine it with your company's staff outing? What do you think, love?" I added, smiling at Rocky. "Love, that's a great idea! It's been a while since we've bonded with our staff. This is a good opportunity to relax and get to know them better," Rocky replied, also smiling. "Perfect! This will be fun. I'll just tell them tomorrow so they can prepare too," I said, excitedly thinking about the plans. The next morning, I woke up early to get ready and go to the office. When I arrived, I gathered my staff again for a quick meeting. "Good morning, everyone! I have another good news. Rocky and I have decided to join your outing, and we'll combine it with his staff's outing. This will be a big bonding event for all of us!" I said, smiling. Everyone applauded and cheered.

Chapter 111 After the awarding ceremony, we had a joyous feast. Everyone gathered in the resort's large dining area, where delicious food and drinks were served. While eating, we chatted and laughed, and I felt the warmth of everyone's company. "Mommy, this outing was so much fun. I hope we can do it again," Gabriel said, eating his favorite dessert. "Yes, son. We'll do this again. I'm happy that you all enjoyed yourselves," I replied, stroking his hair. After the fun feast, we packed our things and said goodbye to the resort. On the way home, I felt the happiness and joy in everyone. I knew those three days had given us all renewed energy and inspiration. When we arrived home, we all rested and talked about what happened during the outing. I felt the love and support from my family and staff. "Love, that outing was really fun. Thank you for organizing it," Rocky said, hugging me. "Thank you too, love. I'm happy that we all enjoyed ourselves. These are the moments that give us
Chapter 112 The next day, we returned to our regular routines, but with renewed energy and inspiration. Rocky and I's staff returned to the office cheerfully, carrying the wonderful memories from the outing. "Good morning, Ma'am Angie! Thank you again for the fun outing. We learned a lot and really enjoyed ourselves," Mia said, smiling. "Good morning, Mia. I'm happy to hear that. I hope your happiness and inspiration continue at work," I replied, patting her shoulder. While I was busy organizing papers and plans for upcoming projects, I felt a new energy in the office. I also felt how closer everyone had become, thanks to the bonding that happened during the outing. In a meeting with the team leaders, we talked about new projects and plans for the future. Everyone was lively and full of ideas. "Ma'am Angie, we have new proposals for the next collections. I hope you like them," Mark said, showing the sketches. "Let's see, Mark. I'm excited to see your new ideas," I replied, look
Chapter 113 One morning, while I was busy organizing papers in the office, I noticed that some important documents were missing. I immediately got nervous and searched the entire office, but I still couldn't find them. "Mia, please check if you've seen these documents," I said, showing her the list of missing papers. "Ma'am Angie, I haven't seen them. I'll look in the other departments," Mia replied, hurrying off. While Mia was searching, I tried to calm myself, but I felt the heat of anger slowly rising in my chest. What if we couldn't find these documents? This would be a big problem for our business. Rocky arrived at the office and immediately noticed the tension on my face. "Love, what happened?" he asked, approaching me. "Some important documents are missing, Rocky. I don't know how it happened. Those papers are extremely important," I replied, trying to hold back my tears. "Don't worry, love. Let's work together to find them. I'm sure they're just here somewhere," Rocky s

Chapter 120 Rocky POV As we entered the conference room, the department heads were already there waiting. We immediately sat down and started the meeting. "Good morning, everyone.

"First of all, we want to inform you that access to sensitive documents will now be limited to authorized personnel only. We also need to enhance the monitoring and reporting of activities in our system," I added, displaying the new policies on the projector. "Yes, Sir Rocky. We will follow the new policies. It’s really important to protect our documents," Mark, the head of the IT department, said. "Thank you, Mark. And we also want to let you know that our door is open for any questions or concerns you may have. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us," Angie said, looking at each person. After the meeting, we returned to our offices for other tasks. While busy with work, I felt my
Chapter 119 Angie POV When we arrived home, Gabriel greeted us with books and notes in hand. "Daddy, Mommy, thank you for being here. I need help with my project about heroes," Gabriel said, excitedly showing us his notes. "Sure, kiddo. We’ll help you," I replied, organizing the materials on the table. As we discussed the heroes of our country, I could feel Gabriel’s enthusiasm and passion for his project. "Mommy, who’s your favorite hero?" Gabriel asked, looking at me. "I have many favorite heroes, but one I truly admire is Jose Rizal for his intelligence and love for our country," I answered, smiling. "Wow, he’s great! What about Daddy? Who’s his favorite hero?" Gabriel asked, looking at Rocky. "Andrew Bonifacio, kiddo. Because of his bravery and determination to fight for our country’s freedom," Rocky replied, gently stroking Gabriel’s hair.

Chapter 118 After our chat, we kissed the children and made sure they were comfortably settled in bed. "Goodnight, children. We love you very much," I said, stroking their heads. "Goodnight, Mommy. Goodnight, Daddy. We love you too," Danae and Daniel replied in unison, their eyes slowly closing. Our eldest son, Gabriel, followed us out of the room. We carefully exited so as not to wake his younger twin siblings. Once outside, Gabriel looked at us and smiled. "Mommy, Daddy, thank you for the story. It was so much fun," Gabriel said, holding my hand. "You're welcome, son. You know we love you very much," Angie said, hugging Gabriel. "Thank you, Mommy. I love you too," Gabriel replied, hugging Angie. "Gabriel, you should rest too, okay? You have a long day tomorrow," I said, stroking his back. "Yes, Daddy.

Chapter 117 Rocky's POV I couldn't help but be surprised because it was the first time I saw Angie get that angry. But thankfully, the problem was resolved quickly. Now, she's back to her sweet voice and calm demeanor. "Love, thank you for understanding and supporting me," I said, looking at her. "I know the situation was difficult, but I'm glad we were able to fix it together." "Thank you too, Love. I don't know how I would have faced this without you," Angie replied, holding my hand. While we were together in the office, I felt the weight of the situation slowly lifting. I knew we still had a lot to do to ensure everything was safe and secure, but I was happy we were there for each other. "Love, we need to make sure this kind of incident doesn't happen again. We need to implement stricter security measures and strengthen communication with the staff," I said, looking at her. "You're right, Love. We need to be proactive and make sure everyone has only the appropriate access,"
Chapter 116 Angie POV As we waited for the department heads, I tried to calm myself. I knew I had to be strong for our staff, but I couldn't help feeling sad and worried. "Arnold, I know your situation is tough right now. But I hope this becomes a lesson for you. Don’t let one mistake ruin your whole life," Rocky said, looking at Arnold. "Thank you, Rocky. I’ve learned my lesson. I hope you can forgive me," Arnold replied, clearly remorseful. "Arnold, I know what you're going through is difficult. But I want you to know we don’t intend to punish you. We just need to ensure our business and staff are safe," I said, trying to keep my voice calm. "I’m really sorry, Angie. I know what I did was wrong," Arnold said, nearly in tears. "Arnold, what’s important now is that you’ve learned your lesson. I hope next time, you’ll just ask for help. We are willing to assist you as much as we can," I said, holding his hand.

Chapter 115 Rocky's POV On the way to Arnold's address, I felt the tension in the car. I knew Angie was furious, and I needed to stay calm for both of us. "Love, calm down. We'll talk to him properly. We need to know the truth," I said, holding her hand. "I know, Love. But I can't help but get angry. Those documents are so important," Angie replied, trying to calm herself. When we arrived at the address, we saw a small apartment building. I took a deep breath and patted Angie's shoulder. "Love, we're here. Let's be careful," I said, getting out of the car. We went to the unit listed on the paper. I knocked gently on the door. "Arnold Santos, are you there? It's us, Angie and Rocky. We need to talk to you," I said, waiting for a response from inside. After a while, the door opened, and Arnold came out. He was clearly surprised by our arrival. "What are you doing here?" he asked, hesitant. "Arnold, we need to talk. Some important documents are missing from the office, and we saw
