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 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.

    "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

    Chloe read the report in the email that Samuel had intentionally sent to her. She concentrated hard to understand the information provided by her assistant.She investigated for a long time. Needing further clarification, she decided to call Samuel."Sam, are you sure about the report you sent me this time?""Of course. Please double-check, ma'am. In the same year when Ms. Nathalie passed away, it's mentioned that Mr. Edward wasn't in a relationship with anyone.""It's possible that he was involved with Nathalie but the media didn't know about it." Chloe responded."Please take a look at the reports I attached in the email. Almost all the women who dated Mr. Edward were introduced to the public. That means he's the type of man who never hides his relationships. I dare to conclude that your husband has never been in a relationship with Ms. Nathalie.""Okay, even if Edward didn't have a relationship with Nathalie. Then why was his business card in her purse? And why did Nathalie order m

He had lost count of how many times he glanced at his wristwatch, hoping not to be even a minute late this time. Ever since the incident when Chloe got angry and ordered him to sleep on the couch, Edward made every effort to be punctual. It felt so regretful to miss one night of embracing her.Upon reaching the second floor, he headed straight to a room dedicated to pregnant and nursing mothers. Amidst the sea of mothers, his hazel eyes finally caught sight of his wife. She was a beautiful woman dressed in a navy midi dress, engaging in casual conversation and occasionally laughing with other patients."Sorry if I'm late," Edward said after seating himself right next to Chloe.

    During pregnancy, it's common for every woman to experience mood swings, where they can feel extremely joyful and enthusiastic one moment, but also very emotional and sad, even crying over trivial matters. Sometimes, they may not even know the reason for their mood changes.Mood swings during pregnancy are caused by various factors, including hormonal changes, physical discomfort due to bodily changes, and natural worries about facing future life changes.From Edward's encounters with married men, almost all of them mentioned that their wives' moods would improve during the second trimester. However, it seemed not to be the case for his wife. Even as she entered the third trimester, Chloe's mood swings didn't seem to get better; in fact, they were worse than ever. She was more easily offended, cried more often, and even had fits of anger."Mister, you look like someone who's exhausted. If you're not feeling well, you should rest," Samuel said as he entered Edward's office. He had been

    On a bright morning, accompanied by birdsong and the still-refreshing air, sat a married couple engrossed in a light conversation.This was actually a result of Chloe's boredom. She realized that her husband might be feeling the same way she did at the moment. So, she took the initiative to invite Edward to relax in a corner of the garden and enjoy the morning air together.It had been seven days since Edward had been under intensive care. The good news was that his condition showed significant improvement day by day. The doctor had even given permission for him to decide when he wanted to go home."Last night, after you fell asleep, Samuel contacted me. He asked for some time to meet with you. There's something important he wants to discuss about some projects currently running at AlphaBeta," Chloe said."Tell him to meet me after work," Edward replied without turning his head. His eyes were focused on the beautifully planted row of flowers not far from where they sat."So, do you wa

    Chloe walked clumsily towards the treatment room with a chaotic state of mind and heart. The feelings of love and happiness that she had just experienced were now overflowing, replaced by deep sorrow due to the recent misfortune that befell her husband.Patricia and Liliana were well aware that Chloe was not doing well, and they decided to continue accompanying her. They did this to keep the pregnant woman away from unwanted stress, fearing it might affect the unborn child."It's okay, dear," Patricia reassured when the three of them stood right in front of the room where Edward was being treated. "Believe me, your husband will be fine. Mama is very confident that he will recover soon."Liliana nodded in agreement. Her hand reached out to push aside a lock of hair covering her son-in-law's cheek. The tired and sad expression was clearly evident on her face."Don't be sad all the time. Edward will surely wake up, dear. There's no way he'd willingly leave behind a beautiful wife like yo

    After going through many stages of trial for the crimes committed by Damian and Nicholas, today is the scheduled date for the judge's verdict. As victims, Edward and Chloe were asked to be present to listen to the verdict. However, due to Chloe's condition, she was unable to attend, so Edward chose to come alone this morning. Upon arriving at the courthouse, Hans was already waiting for him outside the courtroom. When everyone had gathered and was ready to begin the trial, Edward was asked to enter. "I hope today's verdict meets our expectations, Hans." Hans, who had just taken his seat, nodded. "I assure you, Damian will spend quite a long time in prison. He is entangled in multiple charges for the crimes he has committed." Edward pulled the corners of his lips into a smile. It was not wrong to have chosen Hans to handle the case that was affecting him. "I can't wait to see Damian's expression when he hears the judge's verdict in a moment." After a few minutes of waiting, the tr

    "I love you... Want you with all my heart. Even if God plans to separate us, I will do my best to persuade Him not to do it."Hugging Chloe's body, Edward chuckled softly. This morning, when he woke up from sleep, she couldn't stop hugging and kissing him. Acting all affectionate, like a woman who desperately wants to be loved. She had been showering him with sweet gestures countless times. It was nothing like the usual Chloe."How many more times do you need to say that? No need to repeat, my love. I know now that you truly love me," he replied, gently kissing his wife's forehead. He found her behavior this morning both adorable and exasperating."You know, Ed?" She tilted her head and asked. "I feel so foolish for often ignoring you and arrogantly rejecting you before."Edward laughed again. "So, you've truly fallen in love with me now?"Confidently, Chloe nodded. The long-haired woman was no longer ashamed to admit that she was head over heels for him now. "Maybe it's more than jus
