"Derrick, starting today, I'm promoting you to be my personal assistant," Troy spoke with a serious tone. Lately, he had been overwhelmed with handling several work contracts from advertising companies. He also needed someone to take care of all his needs. At the moment, Derrick was the only person he could trust."Thank you. What do you need me to do?" Derrick's face lit up. With this new job, he was sure his salary would be much higher."I'll email you some contracts that you need to handle. I want to focus on taking care of Sarah until she fully recovers. Make sure we don't accept any jobs for the next two months."Derrick nodded. He had just arrived at the hospital ten minutes ago and went straight to see Troy in the VIP room."Derrick!"The two men sitting on the sofa immediately turned when they heard Sarah calling out.Derrick glanced at Troy nervously. He wanted to approach Sarah, but he was worried that Troy wouldn't allow it."Go to Sarah, tell her the truth. But don't
"Sweetheart, the doctor said you need to breastfeed our baby. Don't you feel sorry for baby Kingsley?" Troy's voice carried more emphasis now, surprised to hear Sarah say no."But... how do I do it?" Sarah looked confused as the baby started to squirm in her lap."I'm sorry, sweetheart. I've often seen you breastfeed Prince. How about I help?" Troy moved closer, his hands reaching out toward their baby."No!" Sarah suddenly shouted, startling the baby, who began to cry.Troy was taken aback. How could he forget that Sarah was suffering from memory loss? He quickly stepped back and pressed the call button for the nurse."Oh no, what do I do? He's crying..." Sarah panicked, glancing at Troy with a pleading look."Stay calm, sweetheart. The nurse will be here soon. Let me hold him for a moment." Troy reached out and gently took Kingsley from Sarah's lap. As they came close, Sarah inadvertently caught a whiff of Troy's masculine scent, which momentarily froze her nerves. She also not
"Hello, Erica. Is Arnold still there?" It turned out that the caller was Irene."Oh, it's you, Irene. Yes, he's still here. Hold on, you can talk to him directly," Erica replied, glancing at her husband."Here, Irene wants to talk to you." Erica handed the phone to Arnold, catching him off guard as he fumbled to put the phone to his ear."Hello, what's up?""Why are you still there? Your parents have been pacing around waiting for you, but it turns out you haven't even left yet. So, what should we do? Should we postpone it?" Irene's voice carried a tone of disappointment."No, don't! I'll be home shortly. Just wait for me!" Arnold quickly ended the call with Irene and handed the phone back to his wife. He watched as Erica prepared to leave for Troy's house. Although he was reluctant to let her go, it wouldn't be fair to stop her from simply accompanying Troy's children, especially since he was about to leave Erica to marry someone else. Arnold rubbed his face roughly, trying to cl
"Sarah!" Troy immediately approached Sarah, who was sound asleep on her side while nursing their baby. Gently, he reached for Kingsley, who was also fast asleep. Troy's gaze then settled on something he had longed for.Carefully, Troy moved Kingsley to the baby bassinet, ensuring the little one didn't wake up. Afterward, his eyes returned to his favorite part of Sarah's body, admiring the beautiful sight for quite some time. He wanted to touch her but feared that Sarah would wake up and get angry."Sweetheart, I miss you. I miss you so much," Troy whispered softly. He chose to cover Sarah's entire body with a blanket, his heart pounding as he was so close to his wife. Once again, his gaze lingered on that captivating sight for a few seconds."What are you doing?"Troy nearly jumped. Sarah suddenly opened her eyes just as his hand was reaching to adjust the blanket over her. He was instantly startled and nervous."I-I was just... trying to cover you up."Realizing that her chest w
"We've arrived. Today, Gillian is off from school, so everyone should be home," whispered Troy, sitting right next to Sarah."This... is our home?" Sarah was stunned by the sight of the large, luxurious house as the car entered through the gate."Troy... I'm nervous!" Sarah whispered, unconsciously gripping Troy's arm tightly."Relax, sweetheart. Everything will be fine," Troy tried to reassure her.A nanny hurried over to open the car door and reached for Kingsley from Sarah's lap. However, Sarah hesitated to hand over her baby to the nanny."Ma’am, let me take the baby," said Annie, who had been with the family since Prince was a baby.Seeing this, Troy quickly approached and gently explained, "Sweetheart, this is Annie who has been taking care of Prince since he was a baby. So, you don't need to worry. She will help you take care of Baby Kingsley."Sarah nodded and, without saying anything further, handed her baby over to Annie."Let's go inside," Troy said as he helped Sara
"W-who is that woman, Troy?" Sarah asked, looking at the woman with a confused expression. However, for some reason, a sudden sadness crept into her heart as she saw her children being so close to the beautiful, graceful, and gentle woman."Erica... when did you get here?" Troy murmured very softly.The sight of his children being so close to Erica left Troy momentarily speechless."Who is that woman, Troy?" Sarah asked again. Her heart ached more as she saw how close her children were with the beautiful woman. They didn't even notice Sarah and Troy's presence."She... she's a friend of mine... I mean, our friend. You knew her before this too. Her name is Erica," Troy answered quietly, leaning closer to Sarah's ear."Oh..." Sarah whispered softly.A few seconds later, Erica turned to look at Sarah and Troy standing by the door."Sarah... Troy!" Erica stood up immediately, while Gillian and Prince continued clinging to her hands."I-I'm sorry, Annie told me you were resting when
"Ah!!! Why is there a woman in this bed?" Arnold's eyes widened as he saw a woman with long, flowing hair, wearing a maroon dress, sleeping soundly. Slowly, Arnold observed the face partially covered by her hair. Then, he moved closer, reaching out to gently brush the strands away from the pale face."Irene..." Arnold whispered, then stepped back. He decided to turn around and leave the room."Arnold.."Arnold's steps halted when he heard Irene calling him."Where are you going? There are still many relatives outside. If you sleep in another room, what will they say?" Irene, who hadn't been fully asleep, sat up on the edge of the bed.Arnold thought for a moment. What Irene said was true. His parents would become the talk of the town if word got out.Arnold turned back around. "Yes, I'll sleep here."Irene nodded and got up from the bed."Hey, where are you going?" Arnold asked, puzzled, as he saw Irene taking her blanket and pillow."I know you love Erica very much. You marri
"Why are you heading back to Jaketon so soon?" Drew had been complaining since early that morning. During breakfast, Arnold and Irene had just informed her that they would be returning to Jaketon that very afternoon."I've already told you I have a lot of work, Mom," Arnold replied for what felt like the hundredth time."Mom, we'll come back here when we have time. Arnold has responsibilities with his job," Irene tried to explain gently to her mother-in-law.Hearing Irene's soft and understanding explanation, Drew finally nodded."Alright. But promise me this! Don't delay getting pregnant. When you come back, Irene better be expecting!" Drew said, glaring at Arnold. But her son ignored her, pretending not to hear. Seeing this, Drew shook her head in frustration."They just got married two days ago, and you're already talking about grandchildren!" Freddy finally intervened, trying to calm his wife, who had been causing a fuss at the breakfast table. This only made Drew more annoyed
