“Claire, I'm sorry that I came late to make them hurt you like this.” Alex brought Claire to sit on an empty chair that was still near the hotel.

Alex felt guilty looking at Claire's hair that was still wet from being splashed by Grace.

Alex's hand gently rubbed his wife's hand which had been firmly restrained by security.

"It's okay. Thank you for helping me. But you really believe that I didn't steal, right?"

Alex smiled a little, nodding his head. "Of course. My wife is a good woman. I trust you more than I trust myself."

Claire returned the smile when Alex's finger lifted a strand of her long hair and tucked it behind her ear.

"But how can you have that much money? Sorry, you're just a construction worker and you haven't been working for long. I don't think it's possible for you to accumulate that much money from your salary," Claire asked, her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Alex.

Meanwhile, the one being stared at was now stunned into silence. Alex was at a loss as to what to

    "Claire, I apologize to you. I was actually the one who took the diamond bracelet from that woman's bag, then put it in your skirt pocket to humiliate you. Please forgive me!" that's what Alice said in the video recording.Smiling broadly, Grace immediately saved the video, then slapped Alice very hard across the face.“I did what you told me to do, why are you still slapping me?” asked Alice, protesting while holding her own cheeks.Her eyes stared intently at Grace.“It's payback for you daring to accuse Claire.”A second slap landed on Alice's cheek. “That's for your impudence in taking my bracelet!”Grace capped off her bullying by pouring a cup of coffee water on Alice's face until her face, hair and shirt front were wet and dirty.“Now I consider everything even, Alice. I hope next time you'll think before bothering Claire. Or you'll be forcibly kicked out of this hotel!” Grace said with a lopsided smile, then she hooked her bag on her arm and walked away leaving Alice stunned.

    “I didn't see you when I woke up, so I looked for you here,” Claire replied.Vincent stood up and smiled awkwardly at Claire's probing gaze.“Hi, Miss Claire. How are you?”“Mr. Vincent, you're in Australia too? It's good to see you. But, why didn't Alex tell me that his boss is also in the same country as us?”Instead of answering Vincent's greeting, Claire asked a question that made both men's bodies stiffen.Alex lightly ruffled his hair, then rubbed the back of his neck.It seemed like Claire's suspicions would grow even more after seeing his company with Vincent.“Actually, I just arrived in Australia yesterday, and I'm also staying at the same hotel as you guys,” Vincent said, trying to package his lie to make Claire believe him.“Is that so? By the way, Mr. Vincent. I thank you for the free vacation to Australia. Again and again, my husband and I are indebted to you.” “You're welcome. Have a wonderful honeymoon,” Vincent smiled back. “Please excuse me. I have some business to

    “You're going out? Why didn't you invite me?” Claire asked Alex with a pouty face.After having dinner together, Alex suddenly said that he had to go out and would leave Claire alone at the hotel.Claire's lips immediately pursed. This was because Alex had never left her alone at the hotel at night.“Just for a little while, Claire. I promise I'll be back soon.”“But where are you going?”“I'm going to meet my friend. He happens to be in Australia and asked me to meet him outside the hotel. The weather outside isn't great, so it's best if you don't come along. I'm afraid you'll get sick. You understand that, right?” Alex's hand rubbed his wife's flushed cheeks.Although her face showed a disappointed look, Claire finally nodded her head.“Okay, off you go. But don't forget to come back as soon as possible. I'll be very lonely at the hotel.”“Sure, I'll definitely go home as soon as possible. But you're really okay, right?”Claire shook her head.“Try smiling first to make me believe i

    “Alice must have been confused looking for Mr. Knight. Go ahead and search all you want, Alice! Until Mr. Knight himself reveals his identity, you will never meet Mr. Knight,” Vincent thought while playing with the ballpoint pen he was holding.“Miss, have you found your husband yet?” the security asked Alice, as she just stood still and stared around.“Not yet. My husband is not here.” Alice replied.“Who is the husband she's referring to? All the guests are already present in this meeting room. Who are you looking for?” asked one of the company officials who was annoyed at Alice for her impudence.“Miss, is your husband really one of the company officials attending this meeting or are you just lying?” security was getting annoyed and felt played.“Sorry, I think I entered the wrong room. I just remembered that my husband is not holding a meeting at this hotel. Sorry for interrupting your meeting. Please continue again. Excuse me!” afraid of being caught lying, Alice bowed, then move

    “If you like it, I'll buy it later.”Claire quickly shook her head. “No, you won't. You don't need to waste money on a perfume. I actually always like your scent no matter what it is.”Alex smiled when Claire hugged him again. She returned the hug with a warm embrace.Suddenly the ringing sound of Alex's cell phone interrupted their intimacy. Alex excused himself briefly to pick up a call from Vincent.“Hello? What's up, Vincent?”“Mr. Alex, seriously, I just got word from the office that someone was caught on a hidden camera trying to plant a bomb near your office.”“What?! Who is it?”“An assistant manager at Golden Era. He started working about a month ago and today he tried to get into the CEO's office. But he was caught. And he confessed that he was the one who spread the news about you coming to Australia. He knows your true identity, sir.” Vincent explained.Hearing that, Alex's blood boiled. His hand that was holding the cell phone, now turned to clutching it.“What do we do n

    Since returning from her honeymoon with Alex, Claire has not taken the time to visit her mother at home.Therefore, today she deliberately came alone to her mother's house while bringing a fruit parcel for her mother.However, Claire was surprised to see Alice who had just come out of her mother's house.“Alice! Why are you here? What are you doing to my mom?!” said Claire with a suspicious look.“I'm just visiting my step sister's mother. What's wrong with that?”“Lies! I'm sure you must have come to my mom with bad intentions. Didn't you?”Folding her hands in front of her chest, Alice then shrugged her shoulders. “You're always getting on my nerves. Suit yourself. I'm in a hurry. Bye!” Alice left with a grin.It made Claire's suspicion even more intense.Feeling worried, Claire immediately went inside her mother's house and approached her with a worried face.“Mama. I saw Alice come here earlier. Did she hurt you?” she placed the fruit parcel on the small table, and then Claire exa

    This afternoon Claire just came out of the bathroom in her blue pajamas with a mickey mouse pattern.Her lips held a smile as she looked at Alex who was standing in front of the mirror brushing his hair.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Alex asked Claire's reflection in the mirror. Because Claire was standing behind Alex.“My husband is very handsome. But I think you should shave your hair a little to make you look much cooler.” Claire suggested. Her hands were folded together in front of her chest.“Really? So, you don't think my current hair looks cool?”Claire shook her head. “It's not like that. Your hair is already good, it just needs a little sprucing up.”“Then give me a suggestion, what should I cut my hair into?” asked Alex, still combing her hair that was a bit wet from washing it.Claire came over, standing next to Alex and their eyes both looked into the mirror.Now Claire's hands moved to smooth Alex's hair, which was short. But a little longer than before.“How wou

    Tonight, Golden Era threw an open party at the 'Velvet Star' hotel. Everyone was allowed to attend as long as the guest quota was still available. Although the party was themed as a charity event, behind it, Mr. Knight planned to announce his true identity in front of everyone, including introducing Claire as Mrs. Knight. As an employee of Golden Era, Claire naturally attended. While descending the stairs, Claire checked her bag again and made sure her cell phone was not left behind. A beautiful dress that she bought from Aurora boutique was now wrapped around her slender body. Claire looked beautiful with a flower-shaped bun that made her slender neck exposed.“Alex, are you done? We have to leave immediately! The party will start in a minute.” Claire shouted a little so that her voice could be heard by Alex, who was also coming with her to the party. The man was still inside their room and was getting ready. Meanwhile, Claire waited for him downstairs.“Yes, dear. I'm ready.

    “Alex, don't take too long! Poor Valen and Evans are waiting for us.” Claire spoke to Alex who was currently hugging her from behind.The two of them were soaking in a large bathtub. Claire sat on Alex's lap and let him touch her body freely.“Just a moment, dear. Just let them wait,” Alex replied. It was a bit lazy to get out of the bathtub. The man was still engrossed in his toys.“But aren't we going to your grandmother's house? She'll be waiting for us, right?”“In five minutes, honey.”“You always say five more minutes.” Claire's lips pouted.Alex grinned widely. His hands were still active, overwhelming his wife.“Mommy! Daddy! Let's go to great-grandma's house! Mommy! What are you doing? We're all dressed up!” they were suddenly startled by the sound of knocking on the bathroom door.It was followed by Valen and Evans' loud voices calling out to them."I told you. The kids are waiting for us. Let's hurry, I'm afraid they'll get suspicious about what we're doing together in the

    “Alex, I remember. Of course I remember. In fact, I thought it was you who forgot.”The reporters and Alex's coworkers around could only smile at Alex and Claire's harmony.Claire smiled sweetly. She looked at Alex's face with the same look.“I think your gift is too much. This hotel is too luxurious for me.”“This hotel is nothing compared to everything you've given me. Think of this hotel as a small part of my gratitude for sharing your life with me, for giving me a beautiful and intelligent son like Valen, for giving me a handsome and smart son like Evans, and for always being by my side. I love you, Claire Knight. There is not the slightest regret in my heart for living with you.”“I love you too, Alexander Knight. May we always be together until the end.”The next second, the kiss scene was again photographed and immortalized. Then the portrait of a warm embrace became the sweetest moment taken by the reporter's camera.***Alex's award ceremony really succeeded in grabbing the a

    A year later...Evans had grown into a handsome toddler, he could already walk and say the words 'Mommy, Daddy.' His adorable behavior makes Alex and Claire can't resist kissing his chubby cheeks.Alex was playing with Valen in the living room, there was a large carpet in the living room so Valen could play there. While Alex watched and kept her company.“Mommy.” Valen grabbed a plastic flower stem and showed it to Alex as she stood up.Alex shook his head. “No, Evans, that's not Mommy. It's a flower.” Alex tried to correct his little boy's pronunciation.“But Evans is still little, Dad. It's natural that he still can't pronounce words correctly,” said Claire who came from the direction of the kitchen and walked towards Alex while carrying a cup of coffee on a tray.Alex chuckled at Claire's words. Maybe he thought what his wife said was true too.“Your coffee.” Claire handed the cup of coffee to Alex.Alex accepted it happily.“Thank you dear wife. I love you so much,” Alex said whi

    Alex thought for a moment. He did have a little trouble choosing a name for his son. There were actually many good names that Alex had chosen. But for some reason, the names he chose were not pleasing to Alex.At the same time, Claire entered the incubator room in a wheelchair pushed by Emma. Alex and Valen smiled at the sight of Claire who had been allowed to see their little son.“Mommy!” Valen exclaimed enthusiastically seeing Claire.Claire put her index finger in front of her lips, signaling Valen to keep quiet in the incubator room where there were several babies.“Claire said she wanted to see her son.” Emma told Alex.Alex nodded, putting Valen down and letting her be taken over by Emma. Meanwhile, Alex switched to pushing the wheelchair occupied by Claire and pushed it so that Claire could see her baby from a close distance.“He's very handsome, isn't he?” Alex asked.Claire watched her son's face. Staring with emotion, Claire nodded her head.“He's so cute. I feel like holdi

    Alex should have left for the office by now. But Alex was still sitting on the edge of the bed in his room. Sitting side by side with Valen. It seemed that the boy was also curious. They were waiting for the results.Claire's test results! Yes! In the bathroom, Claire was trying out her pregnancy test kit to confirm whether she was pregnant or not.When the bathroom door creaked open, Alex and Valen immediately stood up straight and went straight to Claire. Storming in with different questions.“Claire, how did it go?”“I want to have a baby sister, right?”Claire looked alternately at her husband and daughter who seemed to be staring at her curiously. The pregnancy test was still in Claire's right hand.Alex saw Claire's sad face. Her lips were pouting. From the look on Claire's face alone, Alex could already draw the conclusion that the result might be negative.“It's okay, Claire. That means we haven't succeeded in making a sister for Valen. Don't worry, Valen's fine too. He can st

    In the morning, Claire was busy preparing breakfast. Mia, who usually helps her, was currently cleaning the backyard.While cooking, Claire smiled as she imagined how gentle and romantic Alex was last night.“What are you imagining that you're cooking while smiling?” Claire was surprised when Alex suddenly came over and wrapped both of his burly arms around her stomach from behind.“Who cooks with a smile?” Claire was evasive.But Alex knew she was lying. “I saw it myself. You were daydreaming about something while smiling sweetly. You weren't imagining another man, were you? You must have been thinking about your handsome husband, right?” Alex asked, a jealous tone in her question.Still hugging Claire's stomach from behind, Alex rolled his eyes. “Whatever. Anyway, I want to tell you one thing. You can't smile for another man!”Claire put a smile on her lips. Claire felt funny hearing Alex's words. It seemed that Alex didn't know that the one Claire was daydreaming about while smilin

    “So this is Valen's doing?” asked Alex. There was a big smile hidden on his lips."Yes. Who else. Mia and the other maids wouldn't dare lock me in Valen's room!" still with her back to Alex, Claire folded her arms across her chest. Her lips remained five centimeters forward in front of Alex."Valen is very understanding. She just knows what her father wants," Alex said, sighing with relief and standing up from his seat.Alex's steps moved towards Claire who was still standing by the door.“What do you mean, what do you want?” Claire knitted her eyebrows together. This time she turned her face to look at Alex, in order to examine the meaning of the meaningful gaze that was implied there.The two corners of Alex's lips pulled together even more, forming a wide smile. Now his strapping body had arrived in front of Claire's petite body.Realizing that they were very close, Claire took a step back until her back was against the wall. Then Alex quickly enclosed her and held both hands on th

    "Claire! I'm so sorry. Let me sleep here tonight, honey. Don't get angry again. Tomorrow we'll buy more ice cream." Alex said as he knocked on the door."No! You go ahead and eat a lot of ice cream. I'll get diabetes later!""Well, tomorrow I'll take you to the diamond shop. You buy as many as you want. Yes, I will. But open the door, Claire. I'm sorry."“No!” Claire replied firmly from inside.Alex sighed softly while clutching the pillow to his chest. It looked like Alex's efforts to persuade Claire would be useless. Because Claire would be hard to persuade tonight.It was raining heavily outside. Even Alex already felt aroused when he saw his wife's body. The image in his mind was that they would forgive each other and finally do fun things on the bed.However, everything that happened was not what Alex had envisioned.In fact, Alex had to put his desires on hold and staggered into Valen's room.“Daddy?!” Valen was surprised when her bedroom light suddenly turned on and Alex was al

    Three years later...“Valen, let's shoot Daddy!”“Bang ... Bang ... ” Valencia, the now three-year-old girl, was playing with Alex.In the living room, they were running around with each other. Alex would hide behind a table, chair or wall, and Valen would look for him until he found him. Then Valen swiftly raised his water pistol and fired it at Alex.Alex pretended to hold his chest which was hit by the water gun, then his body wavered and fell to the floor.“Daddy, you lost! Daddy lost!” Valen jumped up and down happily.Seeing Alex pretending to faint, Valen approached Alex and tried to shoot Alex in the face again. But before Valen could do so, Alex had already caught the water gun and fired it back at Valen's face and chest.This made the girl laugh out loud while trying to cover her face with both hands."Now you lose. Daddy wins!" Alex chased Valen who ran towards the kitchen.Meanwhile, Alex chased from behind while continuing to shoot with the water gun from behind."Mommy!
