"Sophia, what are you thinking, honey?" said Alfonso. After finishing dinner, the man, who was still handsome at his young age, found the princess sitting dreamily on the balcony of his room. He watched for a moment until a few minutes passed just like that. Curious about what the princess thought, Alfonso decided to step in and rebuke her. "Dad's been watching you." The man walked in a while, continuing to speak. "You don't want to share this story with your Papa?" he asked. Sophia turned and smiled. Pulling an available chair on the balcony of his room, she asked her father to sit next to her. "Here, Pa," she said, patting the chair's surface for Alfonso to sit down. "There's a lot I want to tell Papa." Alfonso complied. Sitting right in the chair next to Sophia, he brought his hand to gently stroke the princess's hair. Still smiling, he said again. "What is it that you want to tell me this time?" Sophia tugged at the corners of her lips. Averting her eyes, she slightly looke
Fabio Saramossa has just come out of Raphael's study, which is on the top floor of the Foxtail Corporations building. A few minutes later, it was Tristan's turn to enter. Without much ado, let alone waiting to be told, the young man immediately took a sitting position directly opposite his Uncle. "How was your meeting with Emaar a few days ago? Did it go well?" Tristan unbuttoned the gray suit he was wearing. Taking a slightly relaxed position, he began to tell a story. "Everything is going well. GroundBreaking will probably take place next week. Foxtail was the lead vendor to lay the groundwork for the construction project site." Raphael smiled in satisfaction. Feeling proud of the achievements that Tristan has just achieved. Not in vain all this time the teaching he gave to the man. All the knowledge was immediately applied as soon as Tristan faced the real business world. "Uncle is happy to see how your work is getting more and more taken into account by people. You are as tal
That afternoon, Raphael seemed very busy attending a luncheon with some of his clients. While having a warm conversation, discussing several projects that his company will work on in the next few months. As a man who is already skilled in the business world, Raphael's presence is calculated. He has handled many large projects or tenders successfully. That's why it wasn't difficult for the man to find clients to work with. "Because it has undergone several field inspections, I think next month is the right time to inaugurate this mall construction project." One of the clients nodded in agreement. The man even submitted another proposal for Raphael to examine. "I think building a hotel or apartment on the top of the building is also a good choice. That's why, in this document, I am attaching some ideas that Mr. Raphael might correct or consider." Raphael nodded and took the file handed to him. For a moment, he read. Understand the points written there, then after that draw a conclus
"Tristan Quartararo, where are you going with that handsome look?" Aurora, from the doorway of her room, rebuked when she saw Tristan, who looked down the stairs. If you look closely, it seems like someone who is about to leave the house. As the woman had mentioned earlier, Tristan looked presentable tonight. Wrapped in semi-formal clothes with messy undercut hair, the man seemed so perfect. Ah no. Tristan is always handsome in every appearance. "I want to go to dinner," he replied as he stopped right in front of Aurora's room. "With Sophia?" "Yeah, you're right," Tristan answered with a nod. Before long, he saw Aurora's face slowly turn sullen. He pursed his lips as if he wasn't happy with what Tristan had just said. "Why are you so sullen?" reprimanded the man then. "You should have taken me to dinner, not Sophia," said Aurora meaningfully. Gazing into Tristan's blue eyes, she nailed it. "Don't we always eat together every night?" Aurora chuckled and pursed her lips. Why is
Tristan walked hastily as soon as he arrived at one of the shopping centers. After dropping Sophia home, he rushed back to his car to catch up with Aurora, who had been waiting for a long time. "I thought you were not coming. I even almost threw away the caramel popcorn that I bought." Aurora chuckled when she found Tristan standing perfectly in front of her. "How could I not come. I told you, I never break a promise. Especially with a beautiful woman like you." Aurora rolled her eyes in embarrassment. In the middle of being annoyed, Tristan even threw a tantrum. "Yeaah ... stop your seduction, Young Master." While laughing, Tristan grabbed Aurora's wrist and took the woman. Immediately enter the theater. They spent two hours watching the animated film that Aurora loved so much. Intending to hurry home, Tristan's cell phone suddenly rang. From the screen, he could see that Jacob was calling him then. "What's Wrong, Jack?" Tristan asked curiously. "Are you with Edward?" Tristan
Tristan was stunned for a long time. His eyes were fixed on the row of skyscrapers he saw through his study glass. While closing his eyes, Tristan gently brought his right hand to massage his forehead, which was throbbing in pain. Some of the events that have occurred recently are indeed so draining the brain and emotions. "I thought we were friends. You hurt my feelings, Tristan. You're doing all this to me on purpose." Edward's words from last night kept ringing in Tristan's head. It hurts her heart to have to face the fact of being hated by the man she has considered a brother. Everything Tristan does is not without reason. After all, he thought that Sophia was not worthy of accompanying Edward, who was so sincere and kind. Because he was so busy thinking about Edward, Tristan couldn't concentrate on all his work. Even though he knew his best friend would never stay angry for long, he still thought about it. Even Mario felt the same way. He could also see that today's boss loo
Tristan had just parked his car in front of the Chiltern Firehouse. As promised last night, today, he would invite Sophia to eat lunch together. As soon as they arrived, Tristan hurried down. Taking significant steps, he entered the restaurant while looking around the room. Trying to find out where Sophia is. "Tristan ..." The man immediately turned around when a soft voice followed by a wave caught his blue bead. He smiled and went straight to Sophia, who had probably been sitting there all this time. "Hello, honey," said Tristan, giving Sophia a short kiss on the top of the head, then sat down directly in front of the woman. "Sorry I kept you waiting." Instead of responding, Sophia drifted into the cradle of Tristan's soft voice. Both of the woman's cheeks seemed to be flushed red. And this was caught by Tristan's blue bead, who had been watching. "Hey... why do you keep smiling like that? Is there something wrong with my appearance?" Tristan asked curiously. Sophia blinked, f
"You're really going too far Tristan!" exclaimed Raphael with a darkened expression. His domineering aura made the whole room tense and scary. This morning, at first, Raphael looked relaxed entering his study. Just finished sipping the coffee served on the table, Tristan was seen entering. He talked for a while about work, then broke the news about his desire to marry Sophia as soon as possible. Raphael was, of course, furious. He didn't expect the young man he had worked so hard to care for to decide without doing a long deliberation first. Moreover, the man's decision, according to him, endangered many parties. "Listen to me first, Uncle ---" "That's enough, Tristan!" Raphael cut in as if not giving the young man a chance to convey his thoughts first. "Did you know that the rash decision you just made could destroy yourself? Or maybe it could even destroy us all?" he exclaimed without thinking.Raphael's hands were clenched into fists. His shoulders rose and fell as he held back
"Happy birthday Matthew, Shawn and Chelsea. Now blow out your candles together."Kimora and Olivia looked enthusiastic about celebrating the birthday of their daughter, who is now three years old, at the big Geraldo family's house. Meanwhile, Arsene, Oliver, and Mario, who were standing behind, could only watch how excited the young mothers were to arrange their children to pose as they were told."Mom, I'm tired," complained Shawn, who is the youngest child of Arsene. Compared to Matthew, who was mostly silent, Shawn has protested countless times to his mother and Auntie."In a moment honey. Let this photographer take your best shots first.""But I'm hungry," the toddler complained. "Can I have the birthday cake right now?" he asked with a pleading expression in the voice typical of a small child.Seeing his son who needed help, Arsene immediately approached. Approaching then handed me a plate containing a birthday cake that had been cut. "Eat."Shawn just looked at the proffered pla
"Chelsea Imanuella Harald. What a beautiful name. As beautiful as her Mama. As beautiful as her Auntie too. And would be the prettiest in the Harald or Smith family."While continuing to joke, Sophia seemed very happy to help Aurora take care of this beautiful baby girl who was only one week old. Since there was no one at Mario's house, Aurora decided to temporarily stay back at the Quartararo family's house at least until the baby was one month old.Everyone also knows, Mario has to keep working. There was no way he could stay at home to keep Aurora company. For this reason too, he finally agreed to his wife's request to return temporarily to the old house."I've already bathed your baby, Aurora. She's even beautiful in her casual clothes. Now, you can breastfeed this baby first," Sophia said, handing over the baby she was carrying to her mother."Thank you very much, Sophia," Aurora said with a smile. "I don't know what it would be like if I still forced myself to live in our house.
This afternoon, Sophia specifically asked her mother to accompany her to the detention center because she wanted to meet her father. In fact, two days ago he had gone there.Not without reason today Sophia decided to visit again. Because the day of her future baby's birth was so close, she wanted to ask her father's blessing and at the same time tell her that in the future she might not be able to visit just to visit."Why did you come again? You should have had a lot of rest at home, Sophia. Isn't your due date very close?"Alfonso himself was amazed because this afternoon he was visited by his wife and daughter again. Usually, Mikayla visits every three or five days. But this week, the two most precious women in his life had visited him three times.To be honest, Alfonso was very happy to have this kind of constant visit. However, knowing the condition of her daughter, who is about to give birth soon, she is certainly worried about Sophia's health and her future grandchildren."It's
Of the many countries that Tristan has offered, Sophia remains in her stance, namely choosing Dubai as the top choice destination that she likes so much. In fact, if you want luxury, the United States also offers the same thing. But somehow, Sophia did not turn away from her choice.Dubai itself is one of the seven emirates in the United Arab Emirates, it is no doubt a major tourist destination not only in Asia but also in the world. Who would have thought, Dubai was once a desert area that was so barren.Now? This city has grown rapidly and become one of the richest cities in the world. Its beauty and splendor is unquestionable. There are many luxury facilities offered by this city.This desert city is known for its liberal policies, excellent infrastructure, and excellent tourism facilities. Apart from that, Dubai is also blessed with a very strategic location geographically.Tristan as a businessman sees Dubai as a developing city that has great potential to develop various forms o
Tristan remembered correctly, one day he asked his wife. Out of all the places in the world, which one do you want to visit the most? Previously he offered Paris, Zurich, Milan, or Turkey.With full confidence, Sophia said Dubai was a place she really wanted to visit. According to Sophia, Dubai is a magical city where for the first time she could feel the sweet and sincere attitude that Tristan showed. He remembers, when he was in Dubai, his days were full of joy. That's why, the beautiful lady was eager to go back there to reminisce about those times.Because this is also Tristan's consideration in giving his wife the gift of traveling to Dubai. The day before the trip, Tristan decided to stop first at the hospital just to see doctor Hansel. According to him, there are important things that he really needs to discuss and consult in depth with the doctor who has been treating his wife so far.Tristan just wanted to make sure whether Sophia could be taken on long trips. Or it could eve
Sophia looked surprised when she opened the toilet door she accidentally ran into Edward. He didn't know whether out there Tristan had also seen Edward or maybe he was just the one who accidentally met a man who used to be so close to him.Staring coldly. Scan from head to toe. Sophia could feel how Edward's eyes seemed interested in looking at her stomach which was now very bulging. Maybe surprised or maybe also wondering. To be sure, after that it was very clear that Edward's direct dislike towards Sophia.Sophia was right. What had happened to them maybe he couldn't just forget about it. He knew Edward must still be furious. Evidently, when Sophia reprimanded, the man was being ignorant. Waiting for Sophia to shift before she chose to step into the main toilet door."Edward," Sophia called boldly before he disappeared from her sight.Meanwhile, Edward had stopped in his tracks. Without turning his head, or rather turning his back on Sophia's position, he just stood stiffly. Waiting
"I don't want to know Alexius. Anyway, you have to bring Shawarma which tastes like I ate when I was in Dubai the other day. Can you bear to see the child in my stomach thrashing because his wish was not fulfilled?"Aleixus let out a long breath. The last two days he had been confused by Sophia's request, which he considered so difficult and unreasonable.Entering the gestational age of more than seven months, Sophia has been asking strange things lately. Yes, let's just say the woman was craving. It's just that, what makes Alexius dizzy himself, sometimes his requests don't make sense. Just like he ordered. The employer's wife has been complaining for two days and asking to buy Shawarma, or Middle Eastern bread, which is filled with meat mixed with vegetables, such as kebabs.I don't know where to start from, the woman whines every day to find the food. Alexius was getting dizzy himself because he had been around London, but couldn't find what his mistress asked for."But it is very
"Sophia, quickly open your bedroom door right now!"Mikayla's faint voice sounded so loud from outside the room. Followed by a knock on the door that got louder and louder instead of disappearing.Sophia who had just woken up immediately straightened up. Tying her hair first, she glanced at the clock on the nightstand even though it was only six in the morning. According to him, it is still too early to wake up. After all, he wasn't working. Then, why did his mother wake him up so early?"Sophia, hurry up, son. You heard Mama's voice, right? There's something important you need to know right away!"Once again Mikayla called. Making Sophia inevitably decide to hurry up. He walked unsteadily to the door, then opened it quickly."What's wrong, Mom? It's still too early. Why are you already screaming out there?"Sophia's face clearly showed a lazy expression. After all, he was still very sleepy because last night his eyes could only close when it was so late because there were so many thi
***Sophia seemed to be sitting casually in front of her dressing table. After changing her clothes, the woman decided to clean the traces of make up that had stuck to her face while muttering to herself because she was annoyed with what Tristan had just done to her."You annoying! Why are you so selfish, Tristan. Yesterday you desperately rejected all my arguments. You rejected my apology. Now? Suddenly came, then apologized casually? Don't be crazy! I won't forgive you that easily. It's my own fault You've pissed me off so much."Sophia knows and is aware that the origin of this problem is that she is determined to carry out a pregnancy program without permission. But no matter what, he already tried to apologize. Not just once, but repeatedly. He even revealed all the evidence that his condition was not what Tristan was worried about. However, it's still useless. The man did not even open the door for forgiveness until he finally decided to go to his parents' house for a while.Sop
