Since the heated argument between herself and Tristan that night, Sophia didn't find her husband coming in for the last two nights to sleep or change into work clothes in their room. They didn't even meet face to face at breakfast or dinner. Samanta knew that her husband spent time after time resting in his study. Sophia had been trying to ignore it. It was even hard to instill in him the belief that what Tristan was saying right now was just a big lie. Until the turmoil returned, Sophia couldn't stand it. Then chose to take his feet down the stairs for the sake of visiting at night to Aurora's room. "Aurora ..." she called softly as he knocked lightly on Aurora's door. Sophia's eyes were wary. Looking around, afraid that Tristan or someone else would see what he was doing. "Sophia," Aurora exclaimed when she opened the bedroom door. Without permission, Sophia immediately brought her right hand to purse Aurora's lips without allowing the beautiful woman to ask a lot of questions. G
Exactly one day after Sophia's confusion, she celebrated her birthday as planned. Located at the residence of the Adelaide extended family, a garden party was designed to be so private but still seemed luxurious and festive. Since morning Sophia seemed so busy preparing everything. As soon as night fell, she entertained all guests to enjoy the ongoing party. Tristan himself has not seen the bridge of his nose at all. After all, Sophia didn't care if the man didn't show up for the event she had organized tonight. "Sophia... congratulations on your birthday." Edward, who then came with his two friends, immediately greeted. The well-built man, without even being awkward, immediately threw a warm hug to Sophia. "Thanks, Edward," he said after breaking the hug. Seconds later, Sophia's gaze shifted to another figure standing next to her. "Thank you also to Jacob, Tita, Nicholas and Claire for the time you have taken to attend this party. I am really honored to receive your arrival," she s
Tristan was stunned for a long time. His eyes stared fixedly at the sheet of photos he was holding. Immediately, his body stiffened. Not to mention the feelings of anger, irritation, hatred, and feeling betrayed, suddenly burst out as if mixed to fill his chest cavity. For a moment, Tristan seemed unable to speak. His heart hurts too much to accept the reality he just got. Trying hard to dismiss it, but too much evidence seems ready to break all his arguments. "How?" Right across from him, there was Alfonso, who had been watching in silence. His eyes kept watching Tristan's movements carefully. Trying to read what other actions the young man would take after that. "This must be a ruse." After a long period of silence, Tristan finally spoke again. Lifting his face, the man gave a bland smile to his interlocutor. "I'm sure this must be part of the game, Papa," he later accused, unsure of what he had seen earlier. Alfonso immediately smiled. Leaning his shoulders back on the chair
Sophia looked confused and surprised when Tristan unexpectedly kissed her instead. Moreover, without the slightest awkwardness, the man moved his lips over Sophia's. Softly mashed, tasting the various flavors that were there. The hatred that Tristan usually displayed was not the least bit visible tonight. Maybe because of the influence of too much alcohol, the man behaved differently than usual. "Tristan, what are you doing?" "Of course kissing you. Why take so long to answer a question like that?" Tristan complained after breaking the kiss. The man's finger seemed to gently caress Sophia's lips which were wet from his kiss. "Is my question too difficult for you, hmm?" Sophia fell silent again. At that moment, his brain suddenly went blank. She had already stringed words together to answer her husband's question. "Tristan, you're drunk. We'd better end this pointless chatter." "I'm not drunk, Sophia," the man insisted with a chuckle. "If you weren't drunk, how could you be actin
Sir Joseph Eugene Thomson is a 60-year-old criminologist and forensic expert who is also a detective. The flight time is already very high. In Great Britain, the royals have even used their services countless times to uncover some complex cases to solve. Seeing his unquestionable behavior and workings, Tristan even ordered Mario to make an appointment with the middle-aged man. He had determined that Sir Joseph should handle everything related to the case of his father's death until everything was revealed. "Thank you very much, Sir Joseph. Sorry for bothering you to the point where you have to visit the Foxtail building in person," said Tristan as he invited his guest to sit down. "No problem." Joseph flashed a faint smile after taking a comfortable seat. He grabbed a cigar from his jacket pocket, burned it, took a slow sip, and invited Tristan to talk again. "For the size of a fantastically paid Client, I wouldn't bother visiting you in person." Laughter fell from Tristan's lips
A few minutes after Tristan left his room, Raphael cursed loudly and threw whatever was on his desk. Annoyance soared through him when Tristan didn't give him the slightest pause, let alone a chance to speak. Raphael had predicted that this event would happen. However, he didn't expect that Tristan would know so quickly. Everything was entirely beyond Raphael's expectations. Picking up the collection of photos of himself and Gracia on the table, Raphael felt hurt. The sadness he had tried to bury deep seemed to come back to the surface, forcing him to remember again. As he rubbed one of the photos, the memory fragments he had been holding tightly to himself evaporated to the surface. Continuing to stare at Gracia's image, Raphael muttered to himself. "Gracia... why did you have to leave me first? Do you know, I'm lonely without you?" For a moment, Raphael seemed to be repeatedly sighing and trying to normalize his emotions so that the chest pain that often attacks him doesn't rec
Sophia stepped into the intensive care room with mixed feelings in her heart. The tiredness she felt because she had not slept for almost two nights was not in the slightest compared to the anxiety that continued to hit. In a moment, Sophia braced herself. For a moment, she was afraid that Tristan would suddenly leave her. Having experienced a decline in her condition, Sophia cried in fear seeing how the team of doctors gave follow-up actions. Moreover, when Tristan's heart rate weakened, Sophia could see through the glass that the medical team was panicking in dealing with the man. "For God's sake, do something." While sobbing, Sophia's eyes didn't move from the scene in the room. The medical team seemed to work hand in hand, trying to help Tristan get out of the critical condition the man was experiencing. "Relax, Sophia. Tristan will be fine," Edward comforted. He was no less panicked and worried about seeing what was happening in front of his eyes. While crying, Sophia turned
"Edward ..." "Yes, I'm here. How are you? If you call my name, that means you don't have amnesia, right?" Not Aurora, except Sophia, but Edward, who Tristan called when he was ultimately 100% awake from his relatively long sleep. After observing for 60 minutes, the medical team finally declared Tristan's condition was average and excellent. They have even allowed the family to visit and approach the man. As he entered the room and came to the position where Tristan was lying, the first person the man looked for was his best friend, Edward. Feeling disappointed, Sophia, standing in the back row, tried to understand. Maybe it was because Edward meant so much to Tristan that what he was looking for was his best friend, or perhaps it was because Sophia had no meaning at all. That was why Tristan didn't even think about looking for her. Don't be sad, Sophia. You can't be jealous of Edward, can you? "I'm fine, you idiot," Tristan said. "It's a loss if I get amnesia." Jacob and Nichola
"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
