Noah left his mother in anger. He went down the stairs and then passed Zara, saying, "You're coming with me." He said it coldly.Zara was both excited and anxious, but she nodded and followed Noah out of his parent's house.Noah opened the car door and said, "Come in, we'll talk inside.""Hmm, okay," Zara replied without forgetting to smile gracefully.Noah started driving his car quietly and without looking at Zara for even a second. The atmosphere was awkward, and Zara didn't know where to start."Why are you here? Don't you still have to be in London?" Noah began to ask."Hmm, I'm attending a meeting to discuss a fashion show collaboration I'm doing with a fellow designer. So I stopped by your parents' house first because I missed Uncle and Auntie," Zara answered very carefully. Noah's aura was so cold at the moment."I know what you guys are talking about isn't as simple as you say. Admit it, my mom discussed remarriage plans with you, right?" Noah's tone was colder this time."No
The truth was that Grace was still not used to it and needed a little more time to adjust to her relationship with Noah, but Noah's unyielding nature could only make Grace sigh heavily."I told you that you don't have to pick me up tonight. I can go back to my mom's by myself," Grace commented."I also told you that I would pick you up when you got off work. So don't complain too much," Noah answered calmly, but Grace realized that something was different."You don't have to stay at your mom's place anymore because we're going to live together," Noah ordered.Grace immediately refused.Noah looked at her with a complicated expression on his face. "We're already husband and wife, so we won't be living separately after we get married, right? Unless you think that with all that I've done to you, you'd be willing to let me live a lonely, dry life.""And if I get sick, then you'll ask me for a divorce. For anything, Grace. I still think that you have a mind to ask me for a divorce.""I did
Noah, who saw Grace's gloomy silence, gently tugged on Grace's chin to make them look at each other again."What are you thinking about again? Is something still missing this time?" Noah asked softly while caressing his wife's cheek.Grace shook her head softly and said, "Nothing. Everything is enough for me. It's just...""It's just what?" Noah asked again."It's just that I'm still afraid of my mom and your parents if they find out we're married. It's like a time bomb ready to explode at any moment," Grace said glumly."Even if it does go off, you won't get hurt because I'll protect you. Can't you still trust me?" Noah reaffirmed the protection of his love for Grace until Grace burst into tears.Noah kissed the tears streaming down his wife's beautiful face. He replaced the tears of sadness with the warmth of his lips."Fight your fear. Where is the Grace I know who dares to face anything, anyone? Why do you have to break down and sadden yourself just because of what outsiders say a
It was already 2 a.m., but Noah, who had finished cleaning up, was still busy with a pair of new toys in his hands until the exhausted body owner protested against her husband's naughty behavior."Noah, please. What time is it?""2 am," Noah replied casually as he savored the softness of the squishy creation of God. He was enjoying his new, eternal addiction.Grace sighed heavily, her body already exhausted from keeping up with her husband's unbelievable stamina. With her eyes reluctantly open, she grumbled again, "Don't you get tired of holding my boobs?""I'd have to be the biggest fool to get bored with a wonderful wife like you," Noah replied softly as he kissed Grace's exposed back. "Well, you go to sleep. I'll wake you up later.""You should sleep too; you're leaving early tomorrow, right?" Grace responded in her half-consciousness. She could no longer bear her sleepiness and tiredness.Noah just smiled. He freed his arms from Grace's body so that she could sleep comfortably in
Grace managed to escape the drama of Noah's love that kept wanting to hug her, kiss her, and end up making love again. With her footsteps struggling to walk normally, Grace arrived at the hospital."Eve, there's a new patient who came in last night, right? What room is it in now?" Grace, who had just arrived, immediately asked Eve, a fellow nurse who would be alternating shifts with her.After Eve explained that the newly arrived VVIP patient had been temporarily secured, they sat down at the nurses' station to chat."Hmm, that's... The room your mother should be in," With a scared look, Eve finally told the truth, "Because that's the only room with facilities equivalent to this type of patient, Grace. I'm sorry, I should have confirmed with the patient's family first even though the room hasn't been used yet," now she felt very guilty.Eve felt guilty because she knew that Grace's mother would be in the room after the doctor confirmed that she could be discharged from the ICU. But si
"Morning, Grace. Can you help me put an IV in the patient?" Grace looked back, but she was astonished to see Julie's face bent in lethargy even though it was early in the morning, "Where's Tina? She's also on the morning shift, right?""She came in early this morning, but she just left," Julie replied listlessly."So, what's up? Eve didn't say anything to me earlier." Grace answered again."It's about that new patient. His temperament is out of control. I also don't think that Tina came early to enter the patient's room carelessly.""I just arrived and was shocked to see Tina holding her bleeding head. She said she had just been hit by a new patient using a flower vase. It was done because the patient was in pain when Tina adjusted the IV,""But after that, Tina said she didn't want to sue the patient because the patient had immediately given her the treatment fee.""It came to that?" Grace was surprised by Julie's explanation, "Why would Tina want to be treated like that? Even if he
At Cruise Enterprises Headquarters...Noah carried his happy morning with Grace into the office. This was the umpteenth morning he had been a happy man for marrying Grace. He even shared the victory of his love with those around him like this morning.The finance department was shocked by Noah's order to give two monthly bonuses to all Cruise Enterprises employees for reasons that the employees did not know.Shafea, a beautiful woman around Noah's age who was the design manager at Cruise Enterprises headquarters, was also happy. Shafea heard that the Vice President was in a good mood today. It was such a rare opportunity to miss when she had been waiting for the moment to confess her feelings to the Vice President to materialize.But she had to wait for the right time today, and it fell at the end of working hours as she was sure to give her best performance to show Noah.Shafea deliberately came to the Vice President's office in work clothes that were tailored to her body shape. Coup
Dawn came without warning, the two slept through the night cuddling and it ended when Noah woke up first without waking Grace. Both of them left for their respective workplaces. Noah with a stack of important files as vice president of Cruise Enterprises, while Grace is preoccupied with her troublesome patient."Be careful, Grace" Eve reminded Grace.Grace just nodded and winked her eyes, as if to signal that she would be fine.As Grace entered, Owen was sitting at his laptop with earphones in his ears. It looked like he was having a work meeting with a video call. Grace ignored that and approached. She slowly took Owen's hand.However, the sober Owen immediately pulled his hand back, "Who told you to touch me?""I told you I was going to draw blood this morning, right?""Stop, I don't want to!" Owen replied coldly."If you don't want to, just keep staying here for another month," Grace replied firmly and turned around. She was so bold to answer and ignore a rich and handsome man like
"Honey, don't frown like that. I'm afraid to see you keep quiet. It's better to just nag, instead of being silent like this," Noah persuaded Grace, who had been silent since being escorted to the police station.Yes, the end of the Morning Kiss of the newly married couple led to the sanctioning of the two. Grace and Noah inevitably had to go to the nearest police station, precisely the Sector 9 area. But the momentum to this point had also been calculated by Noah at Jack's suggestion.The phone call Noah made earlier was with Jack. The two of them had planned something big behind Grace's back without her knowing. And so they ended up going to the police station with a little drama by Noah that upset Grace.Previously, when Noah had just gotten out of the car and approached the officer who was interrogating Grace, Noah deliberately made trouble by starting an argument with the officer. With the cold arrogant style of Vice President Sagala, Noah seemed not to want to be blamed by the of
"Well, let's try it. Go inside!" said Noah next."Get in?" asked Grace confused. She was still chuckling at Noah's last excuse, "You mean I'm driving?""Of course. I also want to see my wife drive a car, not just ride me in bed," replied Noah chuckling and Grace's expression became even more helpless.Grace sighed heavily, "I never win when it comes to you, do I? When just once do you give in and do what I say?" she protested once again but in a helpless tone."There's a time and a place, Honey," Noah replied with a smile."When?"Instead of answering immediately, Noah brought his lips to Grace's ear, "In our room. I promise I'll be submissive and not resist if you tell me to satisfy you," Noah whispered mischievously.Grace's face instantly turned red. She quickly pushed away Noah who was teasing her, then walked away from Noah and entered her new car quickly."I told you, I won't win with you. Geez..." she grumbled in annoyance, but a moment later she smiled at Noah who was also smi
The sun was happily shining, as if everything was going to be alright today. At least that's what Grace felt in the warm morning air as she stretched out her arms on the porch of her room.The sound of the door opening was heard, followed by Noah's call, "Honey, you're awake, right? Let's have breakfast first!""Hmm, yes. I'm coming down now," Grace replied with a smile.The greeting of Noah's helping hand gently pulled her along at an even pace toward the dining room of their home. When they got there, Grace's eyeballs fluttered with emotion at the sight of the beautiful dining table. Not fancy but special.Just two plates of meat sandwiches with two glasses of fresh milk on the table. There was also a small vase of fresh roses in the center to beautify their dining table.Grace's smile grew, adding to the beauty of her face that was already perfect in Noah's eyes."Just want to be seen? Don't you have an appetite? Do you want something else for breakfast?" Noah asked repeatedly for
Mrs. Gina's threat was firmly heard and for that Grace understood quickly. Her lips closed helplessly."Aunty, please forgive everything that happened today. It's my fault, not Grace's. It's my fault for not talking about our marriage from the beginning and making you misunderstand us now.""I'm holding back this story because of Grace's request I don't want to make you shocked and hurt, but Grace didn't mean to hide our relationship from you forever,""You know that we love each other. Before, you used to approve of our relationship and because of a misunderstanding with my parents, you came to hate Grace,""I was also wrong for leaving without any news. I was wrong, Auntie. Grace is not the jinx, but she is the victim of this misunderstanding,""So who's at fault? Me? Or my dead husband?" Mrs. Gina's reply sounded scathing. She didn't seem to care about Noah's long sentences and only focused on the grudge that started with a misunderstanding.Noah looked down."Can't answer, right?
Today Grace received some good news. Her mother could already be visited and had just been moved to the treatment room. For this reason, Grace came to the hospital as soon as possible. However, when Grace was in front of her mother, the look on her mother's face was so different and she didn't smile at all when she saw her daughter."What are you here for?" asked Mrs. Gina sternly."I just got word that you've been moved to the infirmary. I wanted to see how you were doing, Mom," Grace replied frightened because her mother's gaze was different, and also because she felt so guilty about marrying Noah without her mother's blessing.With her hands still shaking, Grace checked the fluid in the IV bottle that was still connected to Mrs. Gina's hand."You don't have to be nice to me. Who do you think got me hospitalized like this?"From her tone and words, Grace could tell that her mother was very angry with her."What did I do wrong, Mom? I was so worried about you, but after you woke up y
"Noah?" she called softly. She instantly felt guilty for overreacting to her unfounded jealousy, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to doubt your love," she continued softly.Grace chose to stay on the sofa and reconcile her anxiety. When things were calmer, she left, but not to their room, but to approach Noah in his study.The guilt-ridden wife knocked hesitantly, but the owner, who had heard the knock, opened the door to let Grace in no matter what she said.When Noah stepped in first, Grace immediately pulled her husband's hand until they both sat on the sofa in the room, "Noah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you like this,"Noah didn't want to answer yet. But Grace didn't give up."I confess that I was jealous because Zara seemed so confident that she would get you because of your parents' support. It made me feel inferior. I didn't have the slightest intention of making you angry,"Noah, who had not yet wanted to turn to Grace, gave her a brief smile. His anger was instantly dispelled
A hard slap landed on Grace's cheek after speaking just now. But what Grace said was true, but it hurt Zara's pride as a woman who felt more than Grace in every way."Don't be arrogant about being a mistress. You're so cheap for being the destroyer of other people's relationships. You'll see in a time and have a good cry because Noah will be announcing his marriage to me soon!" Zara threatened with great annoyance.Zara almost slapped Grace again but unfortunately, Grace's hand was quicker to restrain Zara's hand."I won't let you slap me twice or I will retaliate and make you go viral on social media for fighting with a slut like me," Grace replied boldly. She also threatened Zara who immediately turned her head around, afraid that someone would see her hit Grace."Watch out. You'll see, I won't let you keep teasing Noah!" Zara threatened again before leaving Grace."Good luck!" Grace also replied quickly without turning her annoyed gaze on the woman who was her husband's fiancée."C
In the front lobby of the same nursing building, Grace was busy taking care of a patient's discharge paperwork.Owen couldn't help but smile. Currently from the 3rd-floor balcony of the VVIP hallway, he could see Grace clearly, "No wonder she's not come into my room. She was busy taking care of her patient.""But why do I keep thinking about her? What's wrong with me? Or maybe my brain has shifted because I'm annoyed with her." he continued muttering denying his feelings that were starting to get attached to Grace.He kept looking at Grace who stood watching the direction of the black car that had just left to take the patient home.Just as Grace was about to go into the building again, Owen also turned his head to leave, but for some reason, the sound of the car horn that was heard caught Owen's attention again.Unexpectedly, Grace was also seen turning around again and then waving while giving instructions to the driver to park the car to the side.Owen initially wanted to not care
Half an hour later, Noah, who had just arrived, met his mother in the VIP waiting room, not in Noah's own office. That's because he didn't want anyone to freely enter the room that contained many of his items about Grace."Mom. Are you looking for me?" he asked as he approached his mother."Noah, where have you been? Why aren't you coming home, son?" asked Mrs. Sayla anxiously.But Noah replied nonchalantly, "I had a lot of work, Mom. I told you that I have to go back and forth to the office.""Yes, it shows on your tired face. You're okay, right?" Even though Mrs. Sayla rarely met her only son, she still knew the details of Noah's expression, "Mama told you, right? You shouldn't be too workaholic, Noah. You have so many subordinates, leave it to them so they don't eat a blind salary. You're worrying me, you know...""So, what did you mean by coming here? Come on, let's discuss it now," with a cold expression, Noah was direct."Need what? I don't need anything. I just really miss you,
