Claire's pregnancy is now 5 months old. And Alex is getting more and more protective of his wife. Alex was happy and teary-eyed when he accompanied Claire to her gynecological check-up. Alex stared at the ultrasound screen and he couldn't describe how happy he was.“Is that my baby?” Alex asked. One hand cupped his mouth while his eyes condensed to stare at a screen that displayed a four-dimensional image of a baby. And Alex knew that baby was his.Claire smiled to see Alex that happy. The doctor was still showing every part of the baby's body in detail.“Everything is good. Here are the feet, here are the fingers, complete. The amniotic fluid is also good, the placenta is in a good position, not blocking the birth canal. And this is the gender...” the doctor said hanging.Alex waited for the doctor to continue. “What gender is it?” Alex asked impatiently and curiously.Even though Claire had told him about the sex of their baby. “It's a girl,” the doctor replied, which made Alex an
“Hello?”“Good morning, wife!” greeted Alex to Claire over the phone. Alex was sitting behind his desk. But he suddenly felt so homesick for Claire that he decided to pause his work for a moment and call her.“Good morning! Why are you calling me? You just arrived at the office,” Claire said and made Alex smile widely.“I just wanted to ask. Did you take your vitamins this morning?” asked Alex looking for an excuse. He just wanted to hear his wife's voice.Alex knew that Claire would definitely not miss out on nutrition for their future baby.“I did. I just finished taking my vitamins.”“Good. I'm glad to hear that. Our baby will definitely grow strong if his mama is diligent in taking vitamins and eating fruit. I can't wait to see her come into the world. She'll definitely be as beautiful as you, Claire.” Alex rested her back against the back of the chair, without letting go of her cell phone which was still attached to her right ear. From the look on his face, Alex looked like a
“Sweet cotton candy, for my sweetest wife!” said Alex smiling as he held out a pink cotton candy still wrapped in plastic to Claire.“Thank you.” Claire accepted the confection and Alex sat down next to her. “And here's the chocolate,” said Alex who handed Claire a chocolate in a heart-shaped box tied with a pink ribbon. Claire accepted it while holding back a smile.“So you went to buy all this?” asked Claire with a raised eyebrow.Alex put his arm around his wife's shoulders and nodded in affirmation.“Yes. I used to come to this park a lot. And what I bought must have been cotton candy. As for the chocolate, I remembered that you like chocolate. So I bought some too,” Alex explained.And Claire nodded her head then she looked at the cotton candy in her hand. “I'm definitely going to get fatter after eating all this.” Alex laughed softly at Claire's words. But he shook his head. “So what if you're fat? I have no problem with that. If you're fat, it's a sign that you're happy. A
It was Sunday so Alex deliberately spent the morning resting. He was still curled up under the blanket when the sun was already bright.It made Claire shake her head when she entered the room. She was astonished to see her husband still sleeping. Gingerly, Claire stepped towards the bed.She pulled up her husband's blanket. But then her eyes widened, and she cried out in surprise when she found Alex's barely clothed body under the blanket. “Alex!” Claire shrieked, looking anywhere but at her husband's body.Having been disturbed by the sound of Claire's shouting. Alex blinked with a furrowed brow. “Why Claire!” the man got up and rubbed his eyes. Before he finally paused to look at Claire who was now covering her eyes with her palms.“What's wrong, why are you screaming?” asked Alex with an innocent face. He knitted his eyebrows to stare at Claire.Without looking back at her husband, Claire pointed at the lower part of Alex's body. “That... why don't you get dressed when you sleep
The sunlight came in through the cracks in the window of the room. Making Claire's eyes, which were tightly closed, blink as she felt a little disturbed.Then she opened her eyes. Claire looked to the side and found that Alex was no longer there.“He must have left early in the morning,” Claire said with a faint smile.Then she moved to sit up. But her eyes squinted, staring at her looking glass. There was a piece of paper attached using clear tape.It seemed to be a note that Alex had left for her. Claire decided to inch down from the bed. She moved to grab the pink piece of paper. Then she read it.“Morning my dear! Too bad I left before seeing your sweet smile. But that's okay. I prepared a sweet breakfast for you and our child. Green bean porridge. Your handsome husband here has made it himself with his golden hands. Bon appetit, dear. Don't spit it out!”Claire smiled as she read the note from her husband.She put the small paper in her hand onto the nightstand. Then her eyes gla
Meanwhile at the Golden Era company, in the CEO's office to be precise, Alex was sitting restlessly while struggling with his work. Alex's eyes were now glancing at a photo of a woman with a slightly distended stomach that Alex was hugging from behind.A sweet smile couldn't escape Alex's lips every time he looked at the photo.“I can't wait for the day to turn into night. I want to enjoy some sweet time alone with you, Claire. I mean, the three of us. Me, you, and our son.” Alex's smile grew wider.He stroked Claire's face in the photo with his forefinger.“Tonight will be a very special night that you will never forget. I promise. Even until death do us part, I will make sure that you will always remember this night in your mind,” Alex said. Before he finally smiled sweetly. Grabbing Claire's picture frame. Then kissed it gently.*** In a restaurant that was quite close to Alex's house, Claire was already sitting in one of the seats closest to the entrance. To make it easier for
In the end, Claire gave up. She decided to no longer wait for Alex's arrival. Maybe he was still stuck in traffic, and his cell phone was dead.How cheered the waitress was when she saw Claire rise from her chair.“Sorry. I've caused you a lot of trouble,” Claire regretted looking at the waitress. Which was only answered with a forced smile.Claire opened her zipper. She took out a $1000 bill and placed it near the glass she had been drinking from.“That's to pay for the lychee tea I ordered. Also to pay for the chair I sat in for the past two hours. I hope that's enough. Excuse me!” Claire turned her body around.She did not see the surprised look of the waitress who had been cursing at her inwardly. The $1000 dollar bill she was holding made her hands tremble.She looked at the money and Claire's back that had moved away in turn.Now the waitress regretted why her mouth hadn't stopped grumbling and snapping at Claire earlier.Claire walked out of the restaurant with an empty heart.
Now Alex arrived home after he found out that the restaurant was closed.Alex hoped that Claire wouldn't be angry with him.But when he entered his house, Alex called out his wife's name. But it wasn't Claire who came, but Mia who approached him with a tense face.“Mia, where's Claire? She went home, right?” Alex asked Mia. Alex's hand held a large bouquet of flowers that he was going to present to his wife. Mia's face looked sad.“Mrs. Knight was taken to the hospital by Mr. Mike and Mrs. Emma,” Mia replied. That brought a frown to Alex's forehead. He shot the maid a questioning look.“What happened to Claire? Why was she taken to the hospital?” asked Alex in shock. His face became even more panicked.“Mrs. Knight collapsed after complaining of stomach pains. She was taken to a hospital close by, sir.”Without asking any more questions, Alex immediately turned around and went to the hospital where Mike and Emma had taken his wife.Alex's feelings were very frantic at the moment. Ale
"I've been in this house for quite some time. I haven't even met my children and husband yet. You must have seen the news wrong. Alex and I have never taken a vacation to Paris with our child," Claire said, shaking her head slowly.Hearing Claire's confession, Lenny was shocked.Claire said she's been in this house for a long time? Then, who is the woman with Alex right now?"I was kidnapped. I was in Tristan's house for almost a month. Tristan is a man obsessed with me, he locked me up, forbid me to see my family. Help me, Lenny, I want to see my husband. By now Alex and our two children must be looking for me. They're probably worried about me." Both of Claire's hands held Lenny's.Claire's words this time made Lenny even more stunned. His mouth was hanging open as he could not believe Claire's statement."But Mrs. Knight. I don't think your husband and son are worried about you.""What?! How could you come to such a conclusion?" Claire lo
With all her might, Claire tried to scream. Hoping that her husband would hear and recognize her voice.Unfortunately, Alex's car was already too far away.Claire's tears broke out. Her body suddenly went limp. If only she could make eye contact with Alex, surely he wouldn't think twice about saving her."Mr. Tristan knows you tried to run away from home. He is very angry and waiting for you. Obey us, and we won't hurt you," threatened one of the bodyguards as he instructed the driver to drive the car back to Tristan's house.Upon arriving at Tristan's residence, Claire, who was already weak, let the two bodyguards hold her hand and entered the living room.There, Claire's eyes immediately met with Tristan's eyes that were filled with anger.The man's gaze looked sharply at her, as if he wanted to pounce on her.Claire gave up, she didn't care if Tristan wanted to kill her right now.Clenching his fists firmly, Tristan walked d
Licking her lips, Alice shook her head. “Not at all.”Nancy took a breath, then let it out harshly. “That Alex Knight is still normal, right? Why would he ignore a woman as sexy as you?”“He's normal, Mom. But every time I try to get Alex to make out with me, there's always an interruption that stops us. Whether it's a call from an important person, or interruptions from Alex's annoying kids.” Alice explained and then exhaled in annoyance.“Well, that's okay. Just do something else to make Alex want to touch you,” Nancy said, her smile implying a sinister plan.Alice's eyes narrowed curiously. “How?”Nancy told Alice what she had to do to get Alex to spend the night with her.Hearing her mother's idea, Alice smiled widely.“That's right. Mommy is smart,” Alice praised.“If Mommy's plan works, you have to add more to Mommy's shopping allowa
[I thought so too at first, but my friend said he could swear. The man holding Mrs. Knight was quite handsome, tall and they looked very close]“Does your friend have any proof?” asked Alex, getting curious.[Unfortunately not, sir.]“Then tell your friend to keep his mouth shut as long as he doesn't have any evidence. Make it clear to him that my wife would never cheat on me behind my back!” After saying that, Alex immediately switched off the phone in annoyance.His face was bright red after hearing Vincent's words.Claire went to the restaurant with another man, he said?Alex snorted. “I've known Claire for years and I know what kind of woman my wife is. She wouldn't play crazy with another man.”***At night, Claire couldn't sleep at all. She felt bored and bored.Every second was tortured by longing for Alex and their two children.Plus, there was no television to comfort h
“Whatever you say about me, I don't care as long as you're by my side,” Tristan replied, widening his smirk even more.Claire lost her temper. She couldn't hold herself back any longer from slapping the asshole in front of her."Your slap is so sweet, Claire. Your slap alone can't make me hate you, in fact I love you even more."“You're a crazy person!”“I'm crazy about you. You should know that,” Tristan whispered, bringing himself closer and closer to make Claire's body stiffen as she leaned her back against the back of the bed.“Don't fuck with me!” Claire picked up the fruit knife on the nightstand and held it in front of Tristan's face.Instead of feeling threatened or frightened, Tristan smiled calmly.That made Claire gulp harshly. She didn't know what else to do to scare Tristan.“I won't mess with you if you don't try to run away from me. The only thing I want from
As soon as Claire stopped in front of him, Tristan looked at that beautiful face to his heart's content.“Where are we having dinner?” Claire asked without preamble.Her face showed a cold look. But her heart was gathering the courage to devise an escape idea."We'll eat at a restaurant not far from here. It's called ‘Royale Resto’. The atmosphere there is very romantic. It's perfect for us."Tristan's sweet words sounded irritating to Claire's ears.“Romantic?” Claire's face showed her dislike for the word. “I'm a married woman in case you forgot.”"I'm sorry, Claire. Alright, forget about it. Let's go!"Claire complied. Following Tristan's footsteps who walked in front of her.A moment later, Tristan's car arrived near the restaurant. They both got out and immediately took their seats.“What would you like to order?” Tristan asked as he opened the menu book.
Claire could feel Tristan's trembling fingers as he grasped her hands. The man's voice also looked panicked and frightened, as if he was afraid that Claire would really leave him.Claire felt strange about Tristan's behavior.***Hearing the sound of Alex's car, Alice rushed out of the house. She chuckled when she saw Alice getting out of the car with Valen.“Why did Alex have to find that damn kid?!” Alice snorted in annoyance. She folded her arms across her chest.“Mommy!” Valen opened his arms wide and ran towards Alice."Valen, honey! Where have you been? The driver was looking for you at school this afternoon." Alice welcomed the hug. Acting like a good mother.Alex walked over and stopped behind Valen's body. His eyes watched the interaction between his wife and son.“Someone locked her in the toilet on purpose,” Alex said. Making Alice look up at him.Her heart began to fret at Alex's words. Did that man know about Alice's interference in this matter?"How can you conclude that
Seeing her cell phone ringing and Tristan's name on the screen, Alice immediately picked up the call.“Hello, Mr. Tristan?”[Alice, what about your role in the Knight family? Alex and his children have no suspicions about you, right?" [Alice, how about your role in the Knight family?]"Nothing, sir. They all believe that I am Claire. It's just that the little girl is annoying."[I don't care about that little girl. She's your business. Don't complain to me!]Alice's face hardened at Tristan's fierce words.Yes, all Tristan cared about was the real Claire. Not Alice's complaints. Alice was not important to that man at all.“I'm sorry, Mr. Tristan.”[Alex] Keep doing your part well. Don't be careless! Don't do anything that will make Alex suspicious! If Alex gets suspicious of you, you'll know the consequences!]Hearing Tristan's threat, Alice's body stiffened.Alice knew Tristan really meant his threat."I understand. Take it easy, I'll be careful."[Oh yeah, I want to ask you a favor.
“Honey!” Alice, who now had Claire's face, now walked over to Alex who was sitting on the sofa in the living room.Alice deliberately wore a transparent white dress that made her underwear visible from the outside.Alice suddenly sat on Alex's thighs and wrapped her arms around Alex's neck.“Why baby? I thought you were sleeping with the kids.” Alex was surprised to see his wife more aggressive.Even Alex was surprised to see Claire who was usually shy and never started teasing him first, now suddenly wearing a transparent dress and sitting on his thigh.“I can't sleep. I want to sleep with you,” said Claire, falsely running her hands over Alex's broad chest.Alex's forehead wrinkled. He looked closely at Alice's face, whose facial features were so similar to the real Claire, that Alex did not realize that the woman in front of him was a different person.Feeling happy to see his wife acting aggressively, Alex then moved his hand, about to touch Alice's cheek, but was immediately brus
