Axel and Blair sat huddled together on their living room couch. In front of them were a journalist and a cameraman who captured the moment of intimacy."Final question," said the journalist. "Mrs. Barney, do you know Clarissa Jordan?"Axel's face hardened. He had asked reporters not to talk about his failed engagement to Clarissa. Axel looked uncomfortable in his place. However, Blair looked so calm and answered the reporter's question."Yes, of course, I know her. Clarissa is my husband's business partner. Currently, they are carrying out a new area development and revitalization project.""But she and your husband seem close," said the journalist."They are close because they have been friends for a long time. In fact, my in-laws and Clarissa's parents have also been friends for a long time. Axel and Clarissa have been friends since they were in school. I feel grateful because Axel has a good friend. In fact, when we were fighting, Axel often talked about it with Clarissa to ask her
Blair took off her glasses. She was still sitting in front of the laptop at her desk. Several times Blair glanced towards the door and occasionally checked the clock on the wall."It's past midnight. He's not home yet. Even though I repeatedly told myself not to wait for him, I still kept waiting."Blair sighed as she leaned her tired back. She rubbed her growing belly and felt it getting heavier."Oh, you kicked? You haven't slept, honey?"She felt the baby kick every now and then. There was a feeling of astonishment and amusement that coursed through Blair's stomach every time the sensation of the kick came."Are you also waiting for him to come home?" Blair spoke to the baby in her stomach."At a time like this, I like him. However, when I saw how he spoke, I didn't like him at all."Blair shook her head and once again let out a heavy sigh.***Axel woke up in the morning.He sat up straight, holding his throbbing head. After briefly massaging his temples, he glanced around with sl
Blair and Louis had entered the theatre and found their seats. Blair looked really nervous and panicked."Why are they here? Are they really going to start bothering me right now?""What is it?" asked Louis when they were comfortably seated."Oh, nothing.""Do you feel uncomfortable because your friend saw us watching together?"Blair quickly shook her head. "Of course not. Not because of that. It's just that I feel uncomfortable because she keeps telling me that you might be interested in me."Louis secretly smiled. "But, the truth is I am attracted to you."The smile completely disappeared from Blair's face. She turned to Louis and looked at him seriously. "What?"Louis casually replied, "You may not know that I am actually a very busy person. But I'm willing to take the time and ask you to watch it. It's not an easy thing for me."Blair was confused and stuttered. She didn't know how to respond to Louis's words just now."But you are my husband's brother," Blair said softly."Well,
"My mom?" Louis frowned. "Blair, are you sure my mom wants to meet to talk about something? I have a feeling this is not going to be a good thing. But I will accompany you if you are sure to go there.""No need," Blair said. "Just drop me here. Axel was on his way to pick me up. We are going to your mother's house together."Louis ignores Blair's request. He refuses to drop Blair on the way. Louis insists on driving Blair straight to the Barneys' mansion.Louis' car stops in the driveway of the Barney family's mansion. From the opposite direction, Axel's car also stopped simultaneously. Their cars were facing each other.Axel and Louis glanced at each other behind the wheel, respectively.Blair saw the tension between them. She immediately exited Louis' car and approached Axel in a hurry."Let's go!" Axel said as he took Blair's hand."Go? What do you mean to go?" Blair was confused."Yeah, what do you mean to go? Earlier, you said you were on business with my mom here? That's why you
"Blair, get ready! Louis will come for dinner at our house."Blair, who was working and busy with her outline, suddenly gasped."What is this? Why so suddenly? And since when did you become kind and friendly with your half-brother, Axel?""Don't protest, and don't ask too many questions! You'd better get ready. Louis will be here in a few hours for dinner."Blair stuttered. "But, I haven't prepared anything for dinner yet. And I don't know what to serve him with?""You don't need to think about that. I have prepared everything. You just need to make yourself as pretty as possible. Remember, in front of Louis, you must act like my wife!"Blair grunted in annoyance. Axel left her alone. Blair didn't know what Axel was up to."That guy always gives me a lot of surprises. He is also completely unpredictable."Axel returned to the kitchen and was busy preparing dinner. He had planned all this after successfully thwarting Blair and Louis' lunch plans."I must show everyone, especially Louis
Waking up in the morning, Axel looks so happy and excited. Blair was surprised to see him. Usually, when he wakes up in the morning, Axel's face looks bitchy and grumpy."What is it?" Blair was curious. "You're so weird today. You look so happy.""Not really," later Axel, hiding his happy smile. "What are you doing today?""I'm meeting with Louis this afternoon to bring my outline."Axel was ready to swear and get angry but held himself back."Really? When will it finish?" Axel said curtly."I dunno," Blair replied nonchalantly."My activity is only signing some documents and letters. When I'm done, let's eat together!" Axel said firmly and sharply in front of Blair.Blair suddenly felt a chill. She rubbed her arms together and looked at Axel in surprise."What's wrong with you? You were smiling to yourself, and now you're suddenly angry. You really are weird."Feeling guilty, Axel showed his smile again. Although it looks so contrived."It is nothing. Pregnant women should eat lots o
Blair had yet to learn how tired she had been the night before. She kept crying and angry all night until she fell asleep on the couch.As soon as she opened her eyes, the sun illuminated the entire house. Blair quickly got up. She thought Axel might have gone home and was sleeping in his room.Cautiously, the woman climbed the stairs leading to the second floor. Blair stood in front of Axel's closed room and slowly opened it.The room is empty. The position of the mattress is also still in a neat condition – not touched at all. That means Axel did not come home all night.Anger flared up in Blair's chest. She returned to the ground floor and sat pensively on the couch.Axel went home. He opened the door and saw Blair sitting alone on the living room sofa."Blair? You woke up early today?" say hi, Axel.Blair just sat quietly, glancing sharply at Axel. She didn't say anything.Seeing Blair, who was silent and not responding, Axel walked over to her."You… waited all night long?""Why
"I'm being cold to you?" asked Louis, frowning."Yes!" Reply Blair."Leave your work there and go! I don't understand you! We'll talk about that later." Blair imitated how Louis spoke the last time they saw each other in his office."I act like that?" asked Louis pretending to forget."Yes. You know how weird that feels?"Louis laughed in amusement at Blair's behavior, who tried to imitate his speaking style. Then they both laughed together.***Axel returns home empty-handed after his attempts to find Blair are futile.Returning home with nothing made him even more frustrated. Axel kept pacing back and forth in his house like a madman, his clothes still soaking wet."Where is she going? I can't even feel her presence. I've been trying to track her down by smell but can't find her. As if someone had erased her tracks."***Louis brought two cups of hot tea into the living room. Only when he placed the cup on the table did Louis realize that Blair had fallen asleep on the sofa.Louis t
