Nancy was so engrossed in her thoughts that once again, she lost her footing and almost fell.

Thankfully, Yaacob managed to catch her just in time. "What's wrong?" he asked, staring at her.

"I… I couldn't keep my balance."

Yaacob glanced at her shoe. Then, he kneeled down and began inspecting her ankle.

Nancy froze. She did not expect him to get on his knees just to check her feet in front of all these people.

She tried to pull him to stand again, but he grabbed hold of her calf and lifted her feet up, then took off her heels.

"What… What are you doing?"

"You sprained your ankle. Don't even bother wearing heels anymore. It's not like you need them!" Clutching her heels, he then bent down to pick her up in his arms.

That was his second time carrying her like this, aside from the first night they spent together as a married couple.

This time, however, things felt entirely different from the last.

Nancy remembered feeling both nervous and excited at the prospect of mak

    Nancy finished getting ready at lightning speed, picked out a presentable outfit, and finally strode out the bedroom door. By the time she went downstairs, however, she was dismayed. Damon had already left. "Hey… where's your father?" Nancy asked Yaacob. "He left." "Already?" Nancy scratched her head in puzzlement, then asked, hoping Yaacob's answer would be the one she wanted to hear. "Did he see me just now?" "Of course he did," Yaacob replied in all honesty. "He even warned me not to tire you out in the future." How humiliating! "Why didn't you tell me your father was coming? I didn't know, and if I had known, I would've put in some effort to look presentable. How embarrassing," Nancy blamed him. "How was I supposed to tell you when you're knocked out?" "You could've woken me!" "Are you sure you wouldn't have beat me up for waking you before noon?" Nancy could not come up with a comeback for this. He was right. She was a heavy sleeper with a temper, and definit

    Nancy had intended to keep things under wraps and pretend she never found that packet of condoms, but now, she realized that it was impossible for her to ignore all this. She was too disgusted by this. "I need to go out for some fresh air!" Nancy tossed her books onto the desk and stormed out of the room. Yaacob glanced at her retreating figure, then at Xander. "What did you do?" "Nothing. I wouldn't dare touch her again, not after what you did to me," Xander said as he took a napkin to wipe the lipstick stain from his neck. "You missed a spot, Mr. Jenkins. Here, let me help you." Lisa approached him, but Yaacob stopped her, "Lisa, go check on Nancy and see if she needs anything. Order her something if she's hungry." "Okay, Mr. Getson." Lisa begrudgingly tore herself away from Xander and stepped out of the room. As soon as she left, Yaacob turned to Xander. "Don't do this in my office. It ruins the atmosphere." "Are you seriously trying to ruin my vibes, Yaacob?" Xander p

    By the time Yaacob and Xander finally arrived, the two women were still entangled. Of course, Anna had the upper hand. Lisa's entire face lit up when she saw them. She mustered all the strength she had in her to shove Anna aside, then stood up and sprinted right toward Xander. "Save me, Mr. Jenkins!" Anna, who was sprawled on the ground, was even more outraged to see Lisa running right into Xander's arms. "You bitch! Let go of him!" "Help me, Mr. Jenkins. Your wife is a psycho! She's trying to kill me! My whole body hurts!" Lisa shrieked. Her face was covered in dust, her hair was matted, and her shirt was untucked. She, however, was unaware of this and thought she still looked attractive to Xander. Just as she was about to plaster her dirty face against his chest, Xander reached out and tilted her chin up, forcing her to meet his gaze. "Tsk tsk. What a sight you are!" He turned to glance at Anna. "Enough." The sight of him sticking up for another woman infuriated Anna. "Xa

    Yaacob could tell she was making a jab at him. He raised his brows quizzically, "What do you think is going on between me and Lisa?" "Your work is long and boring, and most of the time, lonely, so you need a hot secretary around to fill your time, don't you?" Nancy echoed what Lisa had told her. "Otherwise why did you hire someone like her?" "What do you mean, someone like her?" "You know what I'm trying to say." Nancy was unwilling to utter those nasty words. "The kind of woman that any man would want to sleep with!" Curvy and voluptuous! The kind of woman every man would kill to be with! Not to mention after their brief conversation, Nancy could deduce that Lisa had no other special talents besides her looks, so there was no way Yaacob could have hired her for her knowledge or executive skills. "The kind of woman any man would want to sleep with? Aren't you describing yourself?" Yaacob asked, and even teasingly squeezed Nancy's buttocks for good measure. "Hey, I'm being

    In the end, Yaacob made Nancy a bowl of pasta with broccoli and cherry tomatoes on the side as decorations. "Wow… I didn't know you could cook so well. This looks like something out of a Michelin restaurant!" Nancy gasped. She usually had a rule of not eating after past five so she could keep her figure, but she was absolutely ravenous, having expended too much energy from the day's events. She had intended to just grab a bite, but Yaacob's pasta was so delicious that she slurped the entire plate up within minutes. All of a sudden, she recalled what she had promised Yaacob before they got married that she would cook him all kinds of fancy feasts once they got married. Thankfully, Yaacob seemed to have forgotten all about it! Nancy twirled some pasta on her fork and brought it next to Yaacob's mouth. "Here, have a bite." Yaacob, who had been texting furiously on his phone, opened his mouth to swallow the mouthful of pasta, then resumed typing. Finally, he pressed send. "Wh

    "How are you going to find someone prettier than her?" Yaacob retorted, echoing exactly what Nancy was thinking. If it were not for the fact that they were in public, she would give him a big, wet kiss right that instant! Rosa's expression turned dark. "How can you be preoccupied with just her looks? Do you even have any idea how bad her reputation is right now? Not only is she divorced, but there have been rumors about her and Spencer dating back from years ago! Don't even let me begin with the dirty ways she used to rise to fame—sleeping with music directors, manipulating people, and she's even a druggie! She's just pretending to be innocent. Everyone in the entertainment industry knows just how manipulative she is! She stole her own sister's husband, for God's sake! Don't be fooled, Yaacob." Nancy was so infuriated that she almost leaped to her feet. It was one thing to accuse her of being manipulative, but another thing entirely to accuse her of doing drugs. Rosa was even

    "I'm not saying there definitely will be, but it's possible. Don't think too much of it and relax," Yaacob replied. His answers were always so vague, as though he were a secret agent who could not reveal too much about himself. Thankfully, Nancy was a cheerful person and did not think too much of it. The next day, she woke up at noon and realized that Yaacob and his suitcase were both gone. "He left just like that?" Nancy leaped out of the bed and flung open the closet door. Most of his clothes and toiletries were missing. Was he going to be away for a long time? Nancy had forgotten to ask him that. All she knew was that he was going to the United States. She sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly in front of her. For some reason, she felt as if a part of her had gone missing. It was the same feeling she experienced whenever Spencer disappeared in the middle of the night to find Teresa. She would sit on the edge of the bed, wondering what had gone wrong, just like

    "Ahem!" Nancy let out a loud cough to signify her presence. The guest all turned to glance at her and ceased their discussion. "Why didn't either of you consider the possibility that my husband could have bought that vase and brought it back from overseas? Don't you all know that money can get you anything?" Nancy had not intended to act so cockily at all, but she could not stand hearing anyone judge Yaacob's taste. "My husband is Yaacob Getson, after all. He doesn't need to buy any counterfeit. He can easily get his hands on the real deal." "Tsk, Nancy. I guess you think you're all high and mighty now that you're rich," one of the guests sneered. That woman's name was Lizzy Suess, and she was a singer who had become famous from a talent show. She also happened to be one of Teresa's best friends. She had always despised Nancy and would always be the first out of Teresa's lackeys to defend her. Thus, Nancy did not see the need to save her face. "I've always been this cocky. Yo

"Stop the car, quick. Stop going forward. It's the peak hour right now.

This is just a transaction!" Nancy insisted.She could not open the door and noticed that Yaacob had locked it. When she went to unlock it, her hand was pushed down by the man."Don't I make you happy? Is Celica unhappy? Don't you enjoy every night that we're together? You clearly have me in your heart, but why do you keep denying it? Nancy, what happened to your boldness and carefree spirit?

    After half a year, Nancy finally returned from America with Celica.Celica held Nancy's hand in one hand and a cat plushie that was almost half her size in another.As soon as they walked out of the VIP channel, Celica's sharp eyes immediately spotted the man who had come to pick them up. She abandoned her plushie as she rushed to him, hands outstretched and waiting to be carried."Uncle Yaacob! Uncle Yaacob!""Celica, don't run so fast!"Nancy could not stop her and could only follow behind, picking up the plushie along with some candy that had dropped from her pocket as she ran.Yaacob hurried forward and immediately scooped Celica up. He smelled the sweet scent of candy."Uncle Yaacob…"Celica hugged Yaacob, nuzzling her head against his. The fine and soft hair that was unique to a child warmed Yaacob's heart.It had been two years, but she had not forgotten him!It seemed like her memory was better than expected.

    Randall and Rowena went to the same motel they had the last time.The boss remembered them as the ones who had broken his window, but he did not give them a hard time, warmly welcoming them instead.After all, the money that Randall had given him for it had been enough to replace the windows of the whole building. This time, Randall flexed his financial might again. He pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet and put it on the counter. "Boss, we want an entire floor.""Sir, do you want one room or two?""The whole floor!"Hearing what Randall said, Rowena looked at him in amazement. "Why so many rooms?""Have you forgotten how bad the soundproofing is here?" Randall replied.Rowena was speechless.The hotel owner was a veteran of this. He immediately put the money into the counter drawer and said, "Okay, I'll give you a key to a room on the third floor. I'll go knock on every door to clear the floor out right now. I assure you that you'll have an enjoyable night!"Rowena fel

    "How absurd!"Randall's words were not meant to demean her. He just felt that it was too dangerous for the child to be there.Rowena, however, felt like she was being blamed for no reason."Why are you in a restaurant with this girl in the middle of the night?" Rowena asked Randall.Randall did not answer. He walked forward to help secure Dorothy before he took the dangerous weapon off her hands."Rowena, you should bring Sandy back for now."Rowena did not move."It's too dangerous for the both of you to be here. Listen to me!" Randall told her.Rowena did not respond. Instead, it was Dorothy who spoke: "Mr. Smith, why do you think she can just come and go as she pleases? I already told my subordinates that not even a fly is allowed out."Even though Rowena had been captured, she knew that they would not be able to walk free if anything happened to her so the man would not touch her so easily."Mrs. Browning, you just wanted to talk with me."Dorothy really liked talking to

    Dorothy and Randall found themselves in a standoff. Suddenly, a hushed report from her subordinate reached Dorothy's ears. "Someone's outside, claiming to have information on Mr. Randall.""Who? Could it be that Yaacob has returned earlier than expected?" Dorothy, determined to prevail over Randall that night, insisted, "Don't let him in; I can't believe he would just barge in!""It's not Mr. Randall. It's a woman, accompanied by a child." The subordinate hesitated before providing more details.Rowena, who had given birth just four months ago, had swiftly regained her pre-pregnancy figure. She wore a navy blue striped shirt knotted at the waist, paired with snug jeans, showing no signs of her previous pregnancy. From behind, she looked slender and youthful, resembling a young girl. Yet, in front, she cradled a baby.The infant, only three or four months old, sported a hat with a few wisps of hair peeking out and a pacifier. The child's intelligent eyes darted around, exploring the

Opting against hiring a nanny, he naturally assumed the responsibility of caring for his pregnant wife.He would juggle the demands of running the company and handling household matters.
