Knowing that there was no point in keeping things a secret anymore, Rea took a deep breath before saying, “…Alright, so… The truth is, I’ve always been highly competent, but… I’ve been pretending to be useless just so that you’d eventually marry me… The trip my parents are taking… That was my suggestion too…” Feeling speechless, it took Frank a long while to reply, “…So you weren’t really drunk when you did all that last night?” Pursing her lips, Rea awkwardly muttered, “…I wasn’t… Luna suggested it, and since it sounded like a good idea to accelerate things…” …Fucking hell, to think that he had fallen straight into her trap without even putting up a fight! Watching as he glowered at her, Rea gulped before adding, “A-anyway, now that we’re married and there’s potentially a baby in my belly, you won’t divorce me, right…?” “…Oh, believe me when I say that divorce is the easy way out! From today onward, I’m making you pay for your actions for the rest of your life!” Fast forwa
With that tale done, it was now time to return to Yulia’s story… Ever since she was a child, she had undergone countless hardships with her mother… and even after she was able to reunite with her father, things didn’t go much easier from there. To make matters worse, Fabiola ended up getting kidnapped for the longest time, resulting in Frank ending up the way he was today… Because of all that, it only made sense that she’d mature much sooner than others her age, and unlike the naïve girl she used to be, she was an extremely competent woman today. Alas, because of how used she became with working, she soon lost the urge to find herself a romantic interest… Things continued that way until… Well, that time that Elliot… …Wait, what was she thinking?! He was younger than her, for heaven’s sake! Quickly shaking her head, she attempted to force herself to concentrate on work again… But before long, a knock was heard on the door. After being allowed in, the department manager entered t
Just as she had arrived at her car, the president of the Halls Group suddenly walked up to her, a bouquet in hand! The Halls Group had collaborated several times with the Burtons before, and because of that, she was well acquainted with the man. Sadly, he had also proposed to her on multiple occasions… and though she kept rejecting him, he never seemed to get the hint! “There you are, Miss Burton… Since you’re off work, I was wondering if you’d join me for dinner tonight…” asked the charming man. Feeling awkward, she was just about to come up with an excuse when Elliot suddenly grabbed her by the waist and said, “Oh? Another one of your admirers, Yulia…? Sorry, but she already has a boyfriend, my man. If that doesn’t deter you enough, then you should know that she prefers her partners younger. Now please leave.” Startled to hear that, the man glanced at Yulia, his eyes begging for an explanation… Yulia herself was eager to just escape this embarrassing situation, but before s
She stared in horror as he removed his shirt right there and then! “W-what are you doing?!” yelped the startled woman as she quickly looked the other way. “…Huh? I mean, I’m drenched, so…” “E-even so, you shouldn’t change right in front of me!” “…Yulia, we bathed together as children… It’s not like you haven’t seen everything already…” “Y-you can’t compare that to this situation…!” “Fine, fine, I… Um… Go cook, I guess… I’ll go get a change upstairs first…” muttered Elliot as he headed upstairs. Yulia herself had to try her best to calm down! After all, Elliot had been plaguing her mind in the past few days, and… she even had dreams where he had… …No! She couldn’t be thinking about such things! She needed to cook! Maybe that would help get her mind out of the gutter! Once that was done, she’d leave and finally start devising a plan to get rid of him…! As Yulia scurried off, Elliot himself was currently staring at an old photo that showed him eating some candy in Yulia’
Staring in shock at the kneeling man, Yulia mustered her remaining sanity as she replied, “B-but you’re younger-” “Even if that’s the case, doesn’t that mean that I’m much more ‘capable’ than your older pursuers…?” …Why were his words so suggestive all of a sudden?! Forcing herself to calm down, she took a deep breath before saying, “…Elliot, I’m not sure what spurred this decision, but… I’m not the one for you. Please find someone your age. I’m sorry.” After saying that, she strode straight for the car… but before she could start the engine, she couldn’t help but notice how desolate he looked standing under the pouring rain… Clenching her fists, it took her a while to finally sigh and walk back to him… “…Are you really sure about this?” asked Yulia, much to Elliot’s delight. “I am! Please! Give me a chance! You won’t regret it!” …When he put it that way, all Yulia could do was help him up before finally deciding to return his kiss… Sure, things had taken a sudden, unex
“Harder!”“Ahh!” A baby came crying into the world accompanied by the sound of Xavia’s painful cry.The doctors exclaimed excitedly, “You just gave birth to a boy!”“He looks just like Young Master Burton. He’s so handsome!”Xavia’s whole body was limp as she laid on the bed. Her face was pale as she looked at the child.He was the size of a kitten with fair skin and a loud cry. He had inherited Zivon’s godly and beautiful appearance indeed. She had a smile on her face as she reached out her hand as she wanted to hug the child.But…“Sister, thank you for helping me to give birth to this baby. I’ll take the child away now.” A beautiful woman suddenly took the baby away one step ahead of Xavia as she laid down on the portable bed on the side. Her face looked exactly as Xavia’s face under the light! They were twins!Before Xavia even had the time to touch the baby’s face, she watched as her elder sister carried the baby away. Xavia felt as though there was a knife stabbing he
Three years later.S City.“Xavia, the guest from Siena International has called to rush us again. You still haven’t delivered the takeout yet?” Xavia’s best friend urged her over the phone.Xavia walked through the intricate and complicated single-family villa area with the takeout in her hand. After looking for a while, she finally saw No. 99.“I’ve reached the place. I just found it.” “That’s great. The guest’s voice sounded very cold over the phone. People living there are all extremely wealthy, and he should be a powerful figure that you cannot afford to offend. You have to be very careful when dealing with him.”“Mm. Okay.” Xavia hung up the phone. She stood in front of the door as she rang the doorbell. She decided that she would get off work and go home after delivering this order.But when the luxurious electronic door was opened, Xavia was instantly stunned on the spot.This was because the man standing inside the door was extremely gorgeous and handsome. His handsom
Ding dong~ Just As Xavia was at her wits’ end, the doorbell suddenly rang, followed by a gentle female voice outside the door.“Zivon, open the door. I’m carrying something in my hands.”This was her elder sister’s voice!Xavia’s body trembled uncontrollably. As she was already nervous beforehand, the emotion intensified. She didn't even know how she gained the strength to push Zivon away.She was done for!Her elder sister was here!What should she do?Naturally, Zivon also heard the voice outside the door. He frowned as he looked at the woman who looked extremely pale in front of him. He raised his hand to open the doorbell video and his pupils dilated when he then saw a woman who looked identical to Xavia standing outside. What was going on?Why was there another Jenna outside when there was already a ‘Jenna’ in his arms?The atmosphere suddenly became very stiff.Xavia was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof and she could not be bothered about Zivon as he took her in
