After the small argument in his office, Edward kept his promise to take Chloe to Dylan's hotel. When they reached the parking lot, he attentively helped her unbuckle the seatbelt that was wrapped around her body."Your work is done, I'll pick you up," Edward said."Tch, I'm not a child who needs to be dropped off and picked up. No need to be excessive," Chloe declined. "Besides, I'm an independent woman. I'm used to doing everything myself."Edward grinned. By God, arguing with Chloe was something he enjoyed immensely. According to him, her beauty would increase tenfold when she looked annoyed, let alone when she pouted."Do I need to clarify our relationship status again?" Edward tilted his body to face his beautiful wife directly. "Let me emphasize. During these three months of winning your heart, please accept all the attitudes I show you."Chloe snorted, not responding. She chose to reach for her sling bag on the car dashboard, preparing to get out of the car.However, before she
Waking up at 7 in the morning, Edward seemed to be already up despite it being a Sunday. He uncovered the blanket, giving a quick peck on Chloe's cheek as she was still sound asleep. Then he got up slowly and headed to the bathroom.He took quite a while to get ready. After dressing neatly, he returned to the bed and pulled a small chair, sitting not far from where Chloe lay.Edward's hand reached out, brushing aside the strands of hair covering his wife's cheek. He gently caressed her, whispering her name softly."Chloe... wake up," he commanded. "Wake up, my love."The one being awakened blinked her eyes repeatedly, gradually gathering her senses until her eyes opened fully. Grumbling lazily, Chloe responded."What else do you want to wake me up for this early?" she protested, tucking herself back under the blanket. She deliberately covered her face. "It's a holiday. Can't I just rest peacefully?"Edward approached, using his right hand to stroke Chloe's hair. Then, he slowly tried
Chloe took a deep breath, trying to control the annoyance still lingering in her heart."Don't waste time! Quickly take me to your parents' house. And don't keep talking along the way. I need to rest."Edward wanted to laugh, but because he was already threatened, he abandoned the idea and chose to drive his car immediately, taking his wife to her parents' home.Throughout the journey, Edward occasionally glanced at Chloe, noticing how she still looked sulky. She was probably very annoyed because her day off had been disrupted.Trying to coax her, Edward stopped the car for a moment at a supermarket they passed. He got out and returned a few minutes later with a large bowl of ice cream, handing it to Chloe."For you," he said. "Honestly, I don't know your taste. But as far as I remember, everyone, whether male or female, young or old, likes ice cream. I hope, after eating it, you'll feel much better."Chloe took the bowl of ice cream from Edward without saying a word in response. She
Chloe walked wearily into Le Meridien Hotel Piccadilly. Upon entering the room, Samuel greeted her. He was slightly puzzled to see his boss looking so pale. In his mind, he suspected that something might be wrong. With that thought, he quickly walked over to her."Ma'am, are you okay?" Samuel inquired as he placed the shopper bag she was carrying on the table. He then sat down, bringing his right hand to gently massage his forehead, which was still throbbing with pain. For the past two days, she had been feeling unwell."I don't know, Sam. I think I caught a cold or maybe it's because of lack of sleep. My head has been hurting for a few days now," Chloe replied.Samuel nodded, turned around, and headed to the pantry. He took the initiative to prepare a warm cup of chamomile tea for Chloe and immediately handed it to her."Maybe this can alleviate your headache," Samuel said, offering the cup to the woman in front of him."Thank you." Chloe didn't hesitate to take a sip of the tea that
Chloe was startled when she opened her eyes and found Edward fast asleep right beside her. Not lying down, but sitting beside the nightstand, his head resting on his left hand while his right hand tightly held Chloe's fingers.Slowly, she tried to release Edward's grip on her hand. But instead of letting go, he woke up sensing Chloe's movements."Are you awake?" he asked. "How do you feel now?" There was a hint of concern in Edward's question."I'm fine," Chloe replied with a cold expression. She might still feel dizzy due to the side effects of the injected medication. But not long after, her eyes flashed sharply as she looked at Edward with a questioning gaze. "Who changed my clothes?"Edward casually responded, "Of course, it was me. Who else? It's not like I asked Samuel or my driver at home to do it.""You!" Chloe exclaimed loudly. "How dare you open my clothes!"Edward shook his head. He actually felt sorry for his wife's condition, but refrained from laughing, especially when s
"I'm leaving now. If you need anything, Leta will be there to help you."This morning, after breakfast, Edward specifically bid farewell to Chloe. According to the schedule, he and Nicholas would be departing for Turkey for the next few days. There, they would attend an important meeting with some developers to discuss cooperation and finalize the schedule for the commencement of the mega project construction.Chloe herself was feeling much better today. Her body temperature was gradually improving, and the headaches she had been suffering from for the past few days were starting to subside. However, Edward still asked her to rest and only return to work when her condition had fully returned to normal."No need to worry about me. I'm not a child, Mr. Eduardo Martin."Edward laughed. He then got up from his seat, grabbed his suit hanging behind the chair, and hurriedly put it on."But for me, you're still my little wife," he said, kissing the top of his wife's head. "Don't miss me whil
Edward: Voice note [Don't forget to eat. Rest well after dinner.]Edward: [Sweet dreams, my love]Edward: [Morning. Have you had breakfast? I just finished showering and getting ready for the meeting. I hope everything goes smoothly. If you're going to work today, please be careful. Don't forget to wear a thick coat to avoid catching a cold.]Edward: [I just finished today's meeting. How are you there? Are you doing alright?]Edward: Sends a photo of the night view in Turkey [It's a shame you couldn't come. I swear, this place is perfect for a honeymoon]Chloe looked annoyed at the series of messages Edward had sent her over the past two days. He acted as if he loved his wife so much, providing updates at all times as if Chloe would die if she didn't know every second of his whereabouts.Fed up, Chloe grabbed her phone, searched for her husband's contact, and dialed immediately. It only rang twice before Edward answered the call."Darling..." Edward greeted from far away. "Do you miss
Today is Edward's last day attending a meeting with Emaar Properties. As scheduled, tomorrow morning he will return to London and begin carrying out the agreed-upon tasks. Together with Nicholas, early in the morning, he has already headed to the meeting building.However, when he arrived and was about to enter the room, Edward's eyes caught a sight he didn't like. A man whom he hadn't seen in a long time was in the building and the same room today. He even greeted him without hesitation."Sebastian Eduardo Martin. It's such a pleasure to meet you again after all this time."Edward turned. He used his eyes to scan the appearance of the man in front of him from head to toe. A moment later, he responded with a flat expression."Arsene Tobias Geraldo. I'm sure this is not a coincidence. God doesn't joke around like that, right?"The man named Arsene chuckled so lightly."Why should we blame God when the two of us accidentally meet? Have I done something so terrible to you that you refuse
