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
After returning from a business trip in Turkey a few days ago, Edward's demeanor completely changed, 180 degrees from before. Chloe never saw the warm, teasing, or playful side of him again.Edward became someone cold and seemingly indifferent. He left for work very early in the morning while Chloe was still asleep and returned home very late. They hardly ever had direct interactions or conversations.For instance, this morning, when Chloe opened her eyes, she once again didn't find Edward beside her. Asking the household assistant, she got the same answer she received every day."Mr. Edward left early, ma'am. He seemed to be in a hurry today and didn't even have time for breakfast," explained Leta. "But before he left..." Leta continued, "Mr. Edward specifically asked us to make sure you finish the breakfast provided."Having just finished her milk, Chloe immediately retorted, "Why doesn't he tell me directly? What a strange man!"Leta was unsure how to respond. She also didn't under
After weighing and considering all the consequences that would happen, Chloe finally decided to visit Edward during lunchtime. For her, it didn't matter if this time she gave in by following Samuel's advice to visit her husband at his office first.Driving her own vehicle, the beautiful woman arrived at the Quantum building and was warmly welcomed by the employees there. After all, who didn't know Chloe? The beautiful woman who had recently married the newest CEO of Quantum.Along the corridors of the building, Chloe kept smiling. She was friendly to anyone who deliberately greeted her as they crossed paths.When she was about to take the elevator, she even accidentally bumped into Nicholas. Politely, Edward's assistant greeted her and even offered to accompany her to his office."Mr. Edward has just finished a meeting. Right now, he's in his office."Chloe nodded. "Has he had lunch?""As far as I know, not yet, ma'am," Nicholas replied. "In these past few days, your husband has been
After a three-hour and forty-five-minute flight, Edward and Chloe arrived at Ataturk Airport at seven in the evening. It was the largest airport in Turkey. Upon disembarking, a special officer received and escorted them to the hotel.Feeling cold due to the heavy rain in Istanbul, Chloe immediately lay on the bed without changing her clothes when they reached the room.On the other hand, Edward hurried to freshen up. Afterward, he grabbed his laptop from his bag and reviewed the presentation materials for tomorrow's internal meeting with major investors. He worked on it until late at night.The next morning, as dawn approached, Edward prepared everything he needed by himself. He decided not to wake Chloe, realizing she must be exhausted from the long flight. Only when he was about to leave did he approach her to bid farewell, concerned that she might wake up and wonder where he had gone."Chloe..." he called, gently stroking her cheek and forehead. "I have to leave now."Chloe, who ha
"Morning, sweetheart... did you sleep well?"Edward's voice faintly reached Chloe amid the pounding sensation in her head. She massaged her forehead, trying to open her eyes to respond to her husband's greeting."Was I drunk last night?" Her hoarse voice sought an explanation.Edward, who was getting ready, turned. While adjusting his tie, he approached and sat right next to his wife. The citrus and mint aroma from the perfume Edward wore sharply filled Chloe's sense of smell."Not just drunk. You were even a handful last night." Edward then handed a glass of apple juice, which he had prepared for Chloe to drink. "Finish this juice. Hopefully, it will help relieve the headache and nausea you're feeling now."Chloe complied. She slowly sipped the drink Edward offered. "I'm only drunk like this because of you," she protested, then handed him the empty glass from the juice she had finished."Why is it always my fault?" Edward raised an eyebrow in puzzlement. But in Chloe's eyes, he never
