Alice feels like she just wants to escape from campus. She remembers well that today there's a schedule where Ashton will be teaching at her campus. Previously, when she was still his sister-in-law, Alice was just relaxed. Despite rarely, and even hardly ever, exchanging greetings outside of academic matters, she didn't care much about Ashton's presence or his cold demeanor towards the students.

But now, especially after yesterday's incident, Alice feels traumatized. She's even afraid of meeting or facing her husband. Imagine. After shouting at her and making her cry, Ashton didn't apologize at all. He even acted casually, as if nothing had happened between them. The man even went as far as giving a warning which made Alice feel uncomfortable again.

"Never dare to touch something that doesn't belong to you. If I catch you damaging property again in the future, not only will you change rooms, I might even consider moving you out of this house."

Alice thought, after marriage, her husba

    To relieve boredom, after class, Alice intentionally stopped by at a coffee shop. Her head was spinning thinking about which company she should choose for her internship, which was already very close.Alice had been confident about registering herself with companies that were on her 'wishlist' that she had made long ago. But, once again, the dream vanished. Everything was chaotic because of Ashton, who stipulated not choosing the same companies as their friends.Now, Alice was confused. Where should she look for a company to do her internship?"Alice!"Lost in thought, she heard her name being called. When she snapped out of it, Alice looked up to find Rumi standing right in front of her, smiling broadly."It's so lucky to meet you here. Can I sit with you? The other seats are all taken."Alice nodded slowly. Then she gestured for Rumi to sit in the empty chair in front of her."What are you doing here alone?" Rumi asked casually."Just doing laundry.""What?""I'm at a coffee shop, o

    Throughout the day, after finishing one class, Alice seemed busy sorting out internship matters with Rumi. Fortunately, what the guy promised was indeed delivered. As a result, Alice, who was initially feeling overwhelmed, now could breathe a sigh of relief. Alice admitted that asking for help from insiders really felt different from the independent path. Not only that, starting tomorrow morning, she could even begin working. So, what other blessings from God should she deny?"Rumi, thanks a lot for your help. If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be clueless about which company to intern at. You know your brother set such annoying deadlines."Rumi nodded with a smile. Just from his face, it was evident how satisfied he was. It was a joy for him to have successfully helped a pretty girl like Alice solve her problems."You're welcome. As long as I can help, I'll be there for you. Besides, it's easy to just slot you in as an intern at my office."A broad smile immediately appeared o

    Because she was tired of being kind, this morning Alice decided to have breakfast by herself. After showering and performing the dawn prayer, she prepared and then enjoyed her breakfast without waiting for Ashton.She thought to herself, how nice. Just once she felt hungry. This time, Alice wouldn't waste her precious time waiting for someone who didn't care about her."Being obedient to one's husband is indeed a wife's duty. But, if her husband is as stubborn as a T-rex like Ashton, I might need to think again."Alice continued to grumble while eating the sandwich on her plate. The annoyance from last night hadn't faded within her. She even swore in her heart that from now on, she wouldn't bother being polite. Especially not pretending to be kind in front of Ashton."Anyway, from now on, I'll just be myself. Let him like it or not. It's his fault for constantly causing frustration."But, her complaints vanished when Ashton appeared in the dining room. Not wanting to be in the same ro

    Fortunately, Alice was able to get through her first day of internship safely, comfortably, and without any issues. She repeated her prayers of gratitude numerous times. Whenever she was confused or encountered difficulties, Rumi promptly helped her. The man also didn't hesitate to provide explanations patiently and tirelessly.Whether it was because Alice was his sister-in-law or because Rumi always treated everyone kindly, one thing was certain: Alice was truly helped by his presence. When else would a deputy manager come down personally to explain and provide examples to intern employees?"Rumi, actually, you could have just explained earlier. I can try it myself, you know. There's no need to go through the trouble of providing examples. It might make the other interns uncomfortable."Alice whispered and glanced around discreetly. After exiting the elevator, she observed the staff bustling around, preparing to leave.Yes, Alice was worried. As a new employee, especially just an int

    "You have to maintain your attitude while at Mom's house. Show everyone that our relationship is fine and there's no problem."Before getting out of the car, Ashton gave a command-like warning to his wife. He asked Alice to behave sweetly and affectionately in front of the extended family gathered at his parents' house today.Like it or not, Ashton had to do this. He didn't want too many questions from both parents and relatives if he and Alice kept their distance."Yes, Mr. Ashton. Don't worry. I won't embarrass you.""Good," nodded Ashton. He then turned off the car engine. Gesturing for Alice to get out, he walked towards the main hall which seemed already crowded with relatives who had come.Alice paused for a moment, surprised. How could she not be surprised and awkward when entering her in-laws' house, Ashton suddenly grabbed her wrist without prior permission. Holding it casually, he walked side by side with Alice. Right now, they looked exactly like a real married couple. Affe

    "What are you looking at?"Alice immediately scoffed upon hearing Ashton suddenly addressing her. Right now, she was still seated right next to her husband. Ashton himself was already lying down. He seemed to be getting ready to sleep.Forced to stay overnight and in order to please Ashton's mother who was celebrating her birthday, Ashton and Alice couldn't refuse. As a result, tonight they had to share a room, even if unwillingly, sharing the same bed.Earlier, to avoid any unwanted incidents, Ashton even divided the sleeping territory between them. He even used many pillows as dividers.As a result, the space to lay down became narrow and limited. But, what else could they do? If they didn't do this, they were worried that one of them might unintentionally do something unwanted."Who's doing the looking?""Well, you. You've been staring at me as if your eyes are about to pop out. Besides, I'm self-aware, I know I'm good-looking. But, you don't have to stare so much."Alice pulled a

    "Tina, has Mr. Ashton already had breakfast? Or is he still in the room?"It's almost seven o'clock now. Usually, when Alice goes to the dining room to have breakfast or pack lunch, there's always Ashton, either enjoying his meal or getting ready for work.However, it's been almost ten minutes since Alice sat down. She hasn't seen her husband anywhere. That's unusual. Normally, every morning when he's off to work, they always cross paths. So, where is he this morning?"He left for work at half-past six, Ms. Alice," Tina replied.Hearing Tina's answer, Alice was slightly surprised. Instantly, she wondered why Ashton would leave for work so early in the morning. Did her husband have an urgent meeting, or perhaps a morning appointment with a big client?"He seemed to be in a hurry," Tina added. She looked like she was helping Alice pour milk into a glass. "I'm also puzzled why Mr. Ashton left so early this morning. Plus, he didn't even have time for breakfast at all.""So, Mr. Ashton did

    "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

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 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.

    "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.
