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

    "What are you all doing here? Why are you gathering?" Rumi whispered, curious."We're getting ready. There's a visit from the Public Works Department soon.""Oh..." Rumi nodded repeatedly. "This must be a visit about the multipurpose building project, right? And you're the one greeting them directly?""Yes. Who else would it be? You, too, knowing there's a visit, still arrived late.""I'm not late. See, they're not here yet. Besides, I was late because I had to pick up Alice first," Rumi protested. He wouldn't accept being blamed by his brother. Ashton should be grateful that he gave Alice a ride almost every day. "Besides, instead of taking your wife along, you leave her behind. It's better that I give her a ride. If Alice went with someone else, you'd be jealous.""Jealous? Don't be ridiculous," Ashton denied as usual.In fact, it wouldn't be hard to admit that Ashton had been feeling annoyed because Alice had been with Dimas a few times. And it was proven, when Rumi asked Ashton to

    Alice repeatedly checked the watch on her left wrist. It was already 12:00, but Ashton was still nowhere to be seen entering his office.Maybe the meeting he was attending was running long, or perhaps her boss and husband was still deep in conversation with his guests. For now, Alice decided to wait patiently, even though it had been over thirty minutes.Finally, at 12:15, a restless Alice decided to try contacting Ashton. Besides being very hungry, she feared he had forgotten their lunch appointment. Just great, she thought."Hopefully Ashton answers my call," Alice muttered while searching for Ashton's contact on her phone. She dialed his number, hoping he would respond quickly.However, after almost three attempts, there was still no response from Ashton. Alice figured he might be too busy to answer. She tried to stay positive and decided to send a text message instead, hoping he would read and reply.Alice: Ashton, where are you? Are you done yet?Without hesitation, Alice sent th

    Realizing that their guests were busy conversing with the staff, Ashton excused himself and got up from his seat. He headed to the cashier and ordered several dishes to go.Yes, Ashton had made a decision. He planned to leave early and fulfill his promise to Alice."Alice, please answer," Ashton muttered as he tried calling her back. He knew why she wasn’t picking up. She was probably sulking because he had ignored her earlier. Ashton swore he didn’t do it on purpose."Hello."Ashton felt relieved when his fourth call finally got a response. He had almost given up hope because Alice hadn't answered any of his previous calls."Hi, Alice. I ---""Did you invite me to lunch just to mess with me? You're unbelievable!" Alice interrupted immediately. On the other end, she was venting her frustration. Anyone would be angry after being kept waiting for so long, especially when they were extremely hungry. "Do you think I'm joking or lying when I say I'm really hungry and want to have lunch soo

    "Alice, don't hang up yet. I'm not finished—" This was the last thing Ashton said before Alice ended their phone conversation. He hadn’t even finished speaking before Alice cut him off.Ashton was only trying to help. He had called Alice to let her know about Dimas, who he saw enjoying time with another woman.It really wasn’t Ashton’s business who Dimas spent time with, but it was different because Ashton knew Dimas planned to confess his feelings to Alice soon. Somehow, Ashton couldn’t accept this. He didn’t agree with Alice getting close to, let alone accepting, someone who was clearly involved with another woman. Besides, Alice was his wife. How could she consider dating another man?Since he didn’t get a good response from Alice, Ashton decided to go to her office. Carrying the food he had bought, he went to find her."Alice isn’t here, sir," said one of the staff as she saw Ashton standing and knocking on the door to Alice's office."Oh, really?""Yes, sir," replied Adinda, the

    "Alice... where are you going?" Ashton asked when he saw his wife descending the stairs and heading straight to the living room. Instead of having breakfast together as usual, Alice seemed to be in a hurry this morning. He wondered what she was up to."I'm going to the project site in PIK.""To the project site on Saturday? It's a holiday today."Alice nodded. While arranging the contents of the bag she was going to carry, she responded to Ashton's question. It was no wonder Ashton was wondering. Because on Saturdays and Sundays, almost all Quandra employees were off duty."Yes, today is indeed a holiday. But, in case you forgot, who gave the deadline to the civil and field workers that everything should be finished by Monday?""Well, it was me." Ashton didn't deny it. He was the one who gave the task. However, he couldn't let Alice go today. "But, you can't go. There's an event at Mama's house this morning. It wouldn't be right for me to go alone."Alice also knew that there was an e

    Alice never thought that just because of the office birthday party, she would end up being this busy. After all, she's just an intern. Somehow, Rumi's crazy idea made her one of the organizing committee members.As a result, for the past few days, almost all of her time has been spent preparing for the event. Luckily, the workload these days hasn't been too heavy, so she could focus. Plus, Rumi formed a team with quite a few members, so they could handle all the event preparations quickly."Alice, have you checked and discussed the event schedule for the week with Mr. Rumi?" asked Dita, who is the head of the event organizing committee.Currently, they were all sitting in one corner of the room, which the company had designated for small meetings or casual gatherings. All the committee members seemed focused on their respective tasks, including Alice."Yeah, Ms. Dita. It's been approved and signed off," Alice replied."Okay," nodded Dita. "So, tomorrow we'll start with some competitio

    "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 was still wearing her pajamas while cooking and preparing breakfast for Ashton. Since he requested fried rice with sausage last night, Alice was now busy in front of the stove, making the dish her husband loves.Without needing assistance from the helper, Alice skillfully added all the ingredients. For her, preparing breakfast was a crucial activity she had to do herself. She hoped that what she cooked and served would delight Ashton's taste buds and motivate him for all his work today.Concentrating on cooking, Alice didn't notice her surroundings. She didn't even realize when Ashton approached until his strong arms clearly pulled her body and hugged her from behind."You're so serious. I've been calling you, but you didn't respond."Alice laughed without turning towards Ashton."I was focused on cooking, Honey. Sorry if I didn't hear you.""You're forgiven. Good thing I love you."Alice clicked her tongue and laughed."Alright, wait at the table. It's almost done and ready to

    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 conducting a series of tests and examinations, it was confirmed that Alice and Ashton were in good health."So, Mr. Ashton himself also doesn't have any issues.""But... why am I not pregnant yet, doctor?"Although she had been assured that everything was fine, Alice was still worried. She was curious if there was something they had missed or

She lost control and started to lash out, refusing to accept the decision."This isn't fair!" Anggia shouted. Two officers approached, trying to calm her down and keep her from falling to the floor."Calm down, ma'am."Anggia turned and glared sharply before shouting again."Ma'am... ma'am... I'm not your mother! Do I look so old that you'd call me 'ma'am'?""Okay, please calm down, Ms. Anggia."Anggia looked displeased. She tried to break free, writhing to escape

    It didn't take long for Ashton to return to work. After ten days of recovery, today he truly started all his activities as usual.Knowing her husband was so enthusiastic about getting back to work, Alice gave him incredible support. Since early morning, she had been busy in the kitchen preparing several breakfast dishes for her and Ashton."Are we having a party?" Ashton asked as he entered the dining room. He didn't know Alice had cooked this much. "There's a lot of breakfast food."Alice, who had just finished cooking, walked to the table carrying several plates of food. Turning to her husband, she smiled."No, honey. It's not a party. I just cooked a lot to celebrate you starting work again. So you can be full and energetic at the office."Ashton took a step forward. Spreading his arms, he hugged Alice tightly."You're so sweet, my wife.""Of course! I've always been, right? You're just realizing it now."Ashton laughed. It wasn't new for Alice to tease him.

    "Sweetheart... why are you crying?"Ashton's consciousness had fully returned. 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. Ashton was sure it was from crying too much and not getting enough sleep."I'm awake now. You should be happy, not crying. Besides, why stay sad when happiness is free.""I know," Alice replied softly. "I'm like this because I missed you so much," she murmured, her voice trembling. Soon, tears fell down her cheeks again.Anyone would be moved. Just imagine, after two days of uncertain feelings—fear, worry—about something bad happening to her husband. And now, after a long wait, Alice's prayers, along with those of their family, were answered by God.Ashton, who had be
