Alice rushed into the room, closing the door behind her. Intending to sit at her desk, she found Ashton deeply engrossed in something, looking serious.

Yet, it was only half-past seven in the morning. There was still thirty minutes left to relax before starting work. Alice wondered why her husband had left so early today. And she was sure Ashton had skipped breakfast again, just like he had done a few times before. Typical!

"You're so focused on making money that you forget to eat. But money isn't everything," Alice muttered while straightening things on her desk. Taking out a food box from her bag, she prepared to have her breakfast.

Because she had a presentation scheduled with one of the project supervisors this morning, Alice deliberately chose to have her breakfast in the room. She thought it better to leave for work earlier than usual to avoid being late due to traffic.

"What were you saying, Alice?"

Ashton interjected while still engrossed in his laptop work. Alice was sure his

    Ashton appeared silently transfixed in his bedroom. Sitting back on the sofa, one hand busy stroking his chin adorned with tiny hairs. For some reason, ever since he left work until he arrived home, Ashton's mind was preoccupied. Dimas' words during their introduction at the office earlier in the day had stirred his thoughts.Dimas wasn't a stranger to Ashton and Gia. The three of them had gone through college together. Then, Ashton and Gia had to part ways with Dimas as he received a scholarship to pursue his master's degree in Japan.After a long time, Ashton, who was currently looking to hire a replacement manager, received news that one of the applicants was Dimas. Because they were acquainted and aware of Dimas' skills, Ashton and Gia agreed to choose him to join Quadra C&T Corporation."So, you really know Alice?" Gia still seemed curious as she escorted Dimas to his new office. Without beating around the bush, she repeated the same question to her old friend."Seriously," Dimas

    On the way to the restaurant, Ashton and Alice were silent, each enjoying the quiet.Alice remained silent because she was still upset with Ashton’s annoying behavior and drama earlier at home. Ashton, on the other hand, wanted to talk but was unsure how to start."Alice," Ashton called softly. Given their close proximity, Alice heard him clearly."Yes?" Alice responded without taking her eyes off the road ahead."Quoting what Dimas said at the office earlier, do you really have a serious relationship with him?"Alice turned to look at him, narrowing her eyes with a mocking grin."Are you curious or very curious?""I’m serious, Alice.""I’m serious too," Alice shot back, unwilling to let their conversation ruin her mood any further. "Besides, whether I have a relationship with Dimas or not, isn't that a private matter? You were the one who insisted from the beginning that we shouldn’t interfere in each other’s personal affairs."Ashton, who was driving, nodded. He acknowledged that it

    "Ashton, you jerk!"Alice had lost count of how many times she had cursed. The frustration from last night’s events still hadn’t subsided.Imagine this: to hide her marriage to Ashton, Alice had agreed to hide in the restaurant’s bathroom at his request. She did this so her presence wouldn’t be noticed by Gia, who had unexpectedly shown up like an unwelcome ghost, immediately spotting Ashton and approaching him.Alice thought she wouldn’t have to hide for long. She naively believed that her husband would quickly handle the situation and then take her home. However, instead of being called, phoned, or informed to come out, Ashton didn’t give any indication of what Alice had hoped for. After waiting for nearly thirty minutes, she finally decided to boldly leave the restroom.And what a surprise awaited Alice. Instead of finding Ashton, she found a note he had left with a waitress for her to read."Alice, I went home first. Gia insisted on getting a ride home, and I couldn’t refuse. So,

    It's almost half past seven in the evening. Yet, strangely, Alice still hasn't come home. The girl didn't bother to give any updates or reasons to Ashton as to why she's coming home late tonight.Usually, when Ashton arrives home, Alice has already prepared dinner and all sorts of things. But today is different. Upon entering the dining room, Ashton realizes it's not his wife who cooked tonight. Even after waiting for a few minutes, he finally realizes that Alice hasn't come home at all. So, where could his wife be?"Alice didn't tell you she'd be coming home late today?" Ashton asks Tina as she pours a drink. He's been waiting, but there's still no sign of her coming home."Not at all, sir. I didn't dare to ask anything," Tina replies.Ashton furrows his brow. Why wouldn't Tina dare to ask? After all, he often finds his house assistant chatting amiably on every occasion."Why not?" he asks."This morning, Ms. Alice was in a bad mood, sir.""What do you mean by a bad mood? Was she ang

    The Cold War between Ashton and Alice continues unabated. Several days after their heated argument, it seems they still haven't found common ground.Instead of apologizing for the fatal mistake he made, Ashton insists he was right. He argued that he left Alice in the restroom to avoid various opinions and perceptions from Gia, who suddenly appeared at the restaurant where he and Alice were.But what's so hard about apologizing? Moreover, Ashton also displays indications of applying double standards, where he's allowed to go out with other women while forbidding Alice from going out with Dimas. Yet, they weren't alone like Ashton often is with Gia.What sin did Alice actually commit? Why has Ashton always shown such annoying behavior towards her from the beginning? If there's a saying that goes 'women are always right and men should always yield,' then it seems to be the opposite of what's happening between Ashton and Alice."What exactly did I do wrong to Ashton? Why does it seem like

    It seems like what Rumi said the other day has been bothering Ashton's mind. Despite his efforts to deny it, Rumi's words keep echoing in his head.Like venom spreading, one by one Rumi's words begin to infiltrate every corner of Ashton's mind. And, upon reflection, there might be some truth to what his brother said."It's up to you whether you want to love Alice or not. But, the problem is, your status is that of a lawful husband. How can you let another guy trample on your dignity like that? Are you really okay with your wife going out, being taken to dinner, escorted home, and given attention by a guy who supposedly had a serious relationship before?""But, Dimas and others don't know the real status and relationship between me and Alice."Rumi scoffed. The man smirked mockingly."Still. Your ego doesn't feel offended, huh? Your wife is clearly being flirted with by another guy. Right now, it's okay because people don't know. But, what happens when everyone finds out? Won't it beco

    While Ashton, who had finished getting ready, returned to the dining room. Just as he was about to sit down and prepare to eat, he looked around. Searching, while waiting for Alice's presence, who had actually left earlier."Looking for Ms. Alice, Sir?" Tina asked, as if she could read Ashton's movements."Yes," Ashton replied without hesitation. "Has Alice not left her room yet?""On the contrary, Ms. Alice has already gone to work."Ashton was taken aback. Glancing at the circular clock on his wrist, he was puzzled."This early? Why didn't Tina stop Alice and ask her to have breakfast first? This food I made would go to waste, wouldn't it?"Tina sighed. She was scolded before anything even happened. Although it wasn't her fault that Alice didn't have breakfast as usual this morning."How can I stop Ms. Alice from leaving. I only spoke once, and Ms. Alice immediately left. Besides, the food won't go to waste. Mr. Ashton can just put the fried rice in a lunch box and give it to Ms. Al

    Alice clicked her tongue while smiling as she got into Rumi's car. As usual, this morning she was picked up to go to the office with her brother-in-law.It could be said that Alice was indeed very fortunate. In addition to having loving in-laws, she also had a very kind and attentive brother-in-law. The only downside was her husband, who until now often made her repeatedly utter words of patience."Good morning, Princess.""Good morning, Little Pony."Rumi laughed. He really enjoyed teasing his sister-in-law. Besides being fun to joke around with, his sister-in-law was very good at carrying herself and keeping up with every joke he threw. If only Ashton realized this advantage, Rumi was sure their household would be more colorful."You really compare me to a pony.""So what do you want to be compared to? A handsome prince?""Of course, I'm handsome, aren't I? Even more handsome than your husband. It's a shame you married Ashton the hothead. If you look at it, we both look better toget

    "Ashton, why are you crying?" Her voice was unmistakably weak and slightly hoarse. Like someone just waking from a deep sleep, Alice clearly struggled to gather her strength to address Ashton, who had just released her from his embrace and was now busy kissing the tops of her wrists.Alice blinked repeatedly. Overwhelmed with a dizzying sensation, she tried to compose herself. After closing her eyes briefly, she finally mustered the courage to throw another question at her husband, who had been silent since she first opened her eyes."Ashton... why are you just silent? A-Are you seriously ill? Or did the doctor say I don't have much time left?"Ashton actually wanted to laugh. But he refrained from doing so. The overwhelming emotion enveloping his heart right now was more dominant than anything else."I'm fine," Ashton finally replied. He looked at Alice with a gaze that was hard to interpret. "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"Alice sighed audibly. She was annoyed that in

    Alice appeared silent. Her eyes were busy gazing at the row of bottles filled with various kinds of medicines and vitamins that she had bought some time ago when she went to the obstetrician.It was all because of Aunt Hilda. The old woman, who was always so critical and nosy, had managed to provoke Alice and ultimately made her decide to go with Ashton to the obstetrician."From the series of examinations that you've undergone, there doesn't seem to be any issues or problems with your pregnancy. Everything is normal. No diseases or abnormalities were detected."Dr. Agatha was the specialist Alice chose to check on her pregnancy condition.

After being examined for a while and confirmed to be in good condition, the medical team and other family members gave him some time to be alone with his wife.Inside the treatment room, Ashton turned slowly. He found Alice sitting there, holding his right hand tightly.Upon closer inspection, he noticed his wife's eyes were swollen and puffy.
