Lucas fulfilled what he had promised last night. For the first time, today went according to plan, and he would take Deasy for a stroll together.It all began with preparing a special breakfast. As he sat down to eat with Deasy, Lucas, as usual, seemed very attentive. He made sure Deasy finished the chicken porridge he had prepared."Finish it up, okay? Just two more spoonfuls, and it's done."Deasy glanced at her plate. Her stomach already felt so full. But, not finishing it seemed like a waste. The food Lucas had cooked for her this morning was truly delicious, and Deasy admitted she liked it."But, I'm already so full.""Just a little bit left. Or... you take one more bite, and I'll finish the rest."Deasy laughed at Lucas's remark. She couldn't quite understand what was funny about what Lucas had just said."Do you want to finish it? It's my leftovers, Luc. Aren't you disgusted?"Lucas shook his head. After all, why should he be disgusted with eating good leftovers?"Why would I b
For over two hours, they enjoyed the romantic movie that Lucas had chosen. Although it was a sweet romantic story, for some reason, perhaps due to the baby or her deep emotional connection to the characters, Deasy became emotional and shed tears. There were parts of the film that touched her deeply and moved her to tears.Lucas even reached for Deasy's shoulder, pulling her close, and tried to soothe her emotions to prevent her from getting too lost in the movie they were watching."Are you okay?"Deasy nodded again. Inside, she felt embarrassed for being so emotional that she cried in front of Lucas.She knew there were no sad scenes or separations of lovers in the movie. So why was she shedding tears?"Shall we eat?" Deasy redirected the conversation."Yes, let's eat. I'm sure you're hungry too."Lucas then took Deasy to one of the restaurants he believed would suit her taste.They ordered some dishes, and when the waiter came and prepared to serve, Lucas was ready to feed Deasy. Ho
Say what Deasy is doing right now is absolutely crazy. Or... maybe her modesty has completely disappeared without a trace.Otherwise, how could she behave so boldly? The fact that Lucas is topless, pacing in front of her, she's acting like a horny Angora cat meowing.Deasy repeatedly seemed to be holding her breath, swallowing saliva while struggling to control the sudden surge of desire within her. But, in reality, all her efforts seemed in vain.To protect Deasy from embarrassment and the gossip of devout netizens, let's just blame it on the pregnancy syndrome she's currently experiencing.The doctor has repeatedly said that a pregnant woman's sexual desire increases from the end of the first trimester until the second trimester. Not without reason. This happens because of the significant increase in progesterone and estrogen hormones. This is what ultimately makes Deasy more passionate and immediately aroused when she sees Lucas looking so sexy.Yes, in her current view, Lucas is i
This morning, Lucas woke up earlier. Slowly opening his eyes, he found Deasy still sound asleep in his embrace.For a moment, Lucas broke into a wide smile. Somehow, there was a surge of happiness in his heart. Like there was something that made him want to keep smiling. Perhaps it was the effect of last night's lovemaking, or maybe he was starting to feel something deeper for Deasy.Continuing to gaze, Lucas brought his hand up, gently pushing aside the scattered strands of hair on her face. Then, he softly stroked her cheek, moving down and stopping right at Deasy's swollen lips. Of course, this was because of his relentless kissing and nibbling from the night before."Lucas..."The hoarse voice came from Deasy, who had just awakened from Lucas's touch. She slowly opened her eyes, realizing that she was under the same blanket as Lucas, and startled, she quickly sat up, covering herself with the blanket."I-uh... we... last night we already...""Shh..." Lucas whispered immediately. H
"So, today you're really going on a work trip out of town?" Deasy looked sulky on the edge of the bed, observing Lucas intently as he was tidying up his black shirt wrapped around his body.As mentioned yesterday, Lucas did indeed have a two-day work schedule out of town. Whether she liked it or not, Deasy had to accept being left alone again. It was quite a pity.Just when Deasy had started to nurture feelings for the new relationship she and Lucas had started, now, when they were about to enjoy and experience the sweetness of the relationship, the man who had impregnated her had to leave again. Even though it was just for a short while, for some reason, it felt heavy. To be honest, Deasy wanted Lucas to be with her right now."Yeah, I'll only be gone for two days. It won't be long.""Not long?" Deasy retorted coldly. If you looked closely, her beautiful face still had a sulky expression. Maybe she was still upset because they had just met three days ago, and now he was going to disa
"Des, are you perfectly healthy?"Veronicastared at Deasy in horror. As usual, after work, she had invited Deasy to hang out at the coffee shop.After sitting for thirty minutes, Veronicanoticed that Deasy seemed odd. Her friend was smiling to herself as if she were crazy."What's up, Ve? I'm perfectly fine.""Then why are you smiling so strangely? Did you forget to take your medication or something?""Do you think I'm crazy?"Deasy sighed in annoyance. Her friend seemed to think she was crazy and mentally unstable. Furthermore, why was Veronicasuch a nosy friend? Everything that happened to Deasy was always commented on. Couldn't she just refrain from commenting, let alone getting involved so much? It was starting to irritate Deasy."You don't usually smile like that for no reason. It's making me curious. Besides, are you happy about something?""Guess, then..." Deasy replied casually, laughing. "Do you think I'm happy or sad?""Well, if you're laughing, you must be happy.""There yo
"Sir, why is your smile so unclear like that? You're not sick, are you?"In a different place, thousands of kilometers away from where Deasy lived, there was Lucas, who was currently in one of the hotel rooms in Singapore.The man was actually finishing some work but had to postpone it for a while because he had an obligation to keep his promise to contact Deasy whenever he had the opportunity. Moreover, Lucas also had to make sure that Deasy went to bed on time, just as he did when he was with her.Felix, who had been in Lucas's room all this time, looked puzzled. From the beginning, he had been observing Lucas who was engrossed in a phone conversation, and his boss seemed so happy and delighted. Was talking to someone on the other end such a mood booster for him?This also made Felix wonder. Who was the person Lucas was talking to on the phone and chatting with?"Mr. Lucas?" Felix asked again when his boss didn't respond."Hmm?""Is it true, Mr. Lucas, that you're under a spell or s
Lucas had just finished his meeting today. While waiting for his father, who was still engaged in discussions with his business partners, Lucas took the opportunity to contact Deasy, who was probably also taking a break from work.Lucas was curious, trying to guess what Deasy might be doing at the moment. Had she had lunch yet, or was she still busy with her work?That's why Lucas decided to send a short message, hoping for a quick response from Deasy.Lucas: Rolling dice, drinking herbal medicine. I miss you; luckily, we'll meet tomorrow.Deasy: There's a tortoise on the boat. Just kidding, I'm not missing you.While sitting in the restaurant, Lucas pursed his lips. He immediately searched for Deasy's contact and called her right away. Since he was currently disguised as Lucas Morales, he chose a regular phone call instead of a video call like the previous night."Are you serious about not missing me?" Lucas asked over the phone."No, just kidding," Deasy replied casually."Well then
"Welcome to Japan, Sweetheart."Deasy smiled broadly as she arrived and finally set foot in Japan. As a woman from an affluent family, traveling to Japan shouldn't have been difficult for her.Throughout her life, she had traveled to several countries, both for leisure and work-related purposes.However, despite visiting many countries in Europe and Asia, she had never had the opportunity to visit Japan. It was quite ironic.Now, after harboring this desire for so long, Lucas had granted it. Turning this special trip into a birthday gift made Deasy feel even more delighted."Thank you so much, Luc. As a husband and life partner, you truly go above and beyond. If I had ten thumbs, I'd give them all to you.""With my pleasure, Honey," Lucas replied when they had arrived in Japan and were now at the hotel. "Your happiness and Jonas's are my current life goals. Whatever it takes, I'll do it to make both of you happy.""But how did you kno
"Lucas, what surprise do you actually want to give, huh?" Deasy wondered. Just from her expression, her curiosity was so evident.Since waking up, Lucas had been treating her very specially. From being accompanied to bathe, to picking out clothes for her. Cooking her favorite breakfast menu. And of course, feeding her as usual.Actually, this often happened on ordinary days. What made it extraordinary was the presence of Veronica, Darwin, and Sean who were sitting in the dining room together with them this morning to enjoy breakfast.Deasy was certainly surprised. She never expected Lucas to invite his friends so early in the morning to visit and have breakfast together. Because usually, inviting people to celebrate birthdays always happened in the evening or at night. What was even more impressive was that their friends willingly came even though it was very early and on a holiday."Well, this is one of the surprises. Inviting your close friends to have
It's already eleven o'clock at night, but Deasy still hasn't seen Lucas, who hasn't come home all day.In all her time as a wife, Deasy has never known Lucas to come home late, let alone this late. Even if he had to work overtime, Lucas had never come home later than nine in the evening. So, where is her husband tonight?Deasy has tried multiple times to contact him and send text messages, but he hasn't responded to any of her attempts. He hasn't even answered her calls.Deasy has started to wonder if Lucas is so angry that he's decided not to come home. Or perhaps he's still spending time with Devina.Oh, this is just so frustrating!Speaking of Devina, why does it feel so suffocating to imagine that Lucas might actually be with his ex-fiancée? Deasy is not okay with her husband being with another woman, whoever she may be.Because of overthinking, Deasy is getting frustrated with herself. She's been waiting for Lucas, who still hasn
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Veronica could tell that Lucas was the type of guy who didn't easily get angry. So far, from the moment he tried to win over Deasy, Veronica believed that Lucas was a gentle and caring man who truly respected women.Back then, when Deasy intentionally tried to provoke him, hurling insults and even deliberate humiliation, Lucas wasn't offended or deterred in the slightest. He remained faithful and continued to try to win over Deasy, who was as stubborn as a rock.So, if he was angry now, Veronica was sure there must have been something that Deasy had done that had crossed the line. After all, people don't get angry and sulk for no reason."Well... no, it's not just that.""Then what?""This Joseph guy initially praised me. He said I looked prettier than before. So, the two of us started chatting about various things. We even discussed how he's still not married to this day. So, I casually asked him if
"Why is your face all scrunched up like that? Another fight? World War? Or what?"Having just met Deasy, Veronica could already guess what was happening with her friend. Deasy, who had been very busy, was called and asked to join her at their favorite coffee shop."Just annoyed," Deasy replied casually. Her face looked extremely sour. It was evident that she was not in a good mood."Annoyed about what again? Did Lucas ask for permission to get married again?"Deasy immediately looked up, glared at Veronica disapprovingly. She couldn't believe her longtime friend was talking so carelessly.Oh, Deasy forgot.Veronica's behavior was quite similar to her mother's. She often spoke without thinking and lacked empathy towards others."Gosh, you love speaking so recklessly, don't you?" Deasy scolded. She was clearly annoyed. "Don't forget how you used to talk when I first got married to Darwin. Your comments were way worse, Des."Deasy
Deasy continued to observe. She watched as Lucas, engrossed in playing with Jonas, interacted with him before heading off to work.This was indeed a routine that her husband always followed. No matter how busy or tired he was, Lucas made it a point to find time to play, chat, or carry Jonas around.The same applied to how he treated Deasy. Regardless of how occupied he was, Lucas always made an effort to give her attention.This morning, after playing with Jonas, Lucas still found time to have breakfast with Deasy. Instead of being overly dramatic, when Deasy asked to be fed, Lucas readily complied with his wife's request."Luc... Are you still angry?"Deasy intentionally inquired. Since the incident where Lucas had caught her engaging in a conversation with Joseph, her husband seemed deliberately silent.Yes, Deasy was aware that what she had done was a grave mistake. However, she had apologized repeatedly.Although he continued to s
Lucas: Honey, are you waiting for me right now? As soon as my client leaves, I'll come pick you up. I promise.Lucas waited anxiously for a response to the text message he sent to Deasy. He hoped his wife would understand and forgive his current situation.Deasy: Relax, Luc. I'm almost done here. I need to pick up some medicine and vitamins. Jonas is fine with me. When you're completely done with work, just come over here.Lucas: Alright, please be patient and wait for me. Later, we can have lunch together outside.Deasy: Sure, my beloved husband. I'll be waiting for your arrival.Earlier, Lucas had been in a meeting. Once his work was finished and he made sure his client had left the office, he quickly grabbed his car keys and prepared to pick up Deasy.Lucas knew today was the day their son was scheduled for vaccinations at the hospital. He had also promised his wife that, no matter how busy he was, he would make time to pick them up from
"Hey, Dad. How's it going? Sorry I couldn't visit sooner. This time, Deasy came to visit you along with the new addition to the family."Deasy smiled as she touched the gravestone with Anton Winterborne's name inscribed on it. Three months after giving birth, she finally had some free time to visit her father's grave, and once again, she was accompanied by her beloved mother, Diana.Before this, Deasy had visited her father's grave a few times shortly before giving birth. Today, she intentionally stopped by when Jonas had just turned three months old."Say hi, Dad. Deasy's new bodyguard is named Jonas. Jonas Fernando Morales. He's three months old now. If you look closely, he has a resemblance to you."Diana, sitting beside Deasy, smiled too. She touched her husband's gravestone and started talking, just like Deasy."Your favorite princess finally has a child, Dad," the woman said casually. "I bet you never thought that the spoiled, lazy, food-lovi
After waking up from his long slumber a while ago, Lucas immediately called the medical team to examine Deasy's condition.Since he was allowed to watch, Lucas continued to observe how the doctor was currently examining each of his wife's bodily functions and ensuring that everything was in good condition."How is it, doc?" Lucas asked after the doctor finished the examination."Congratulations, Mr. Lucas. Finally, Mrs. Deasy is fully conscious. After reevaluation, I can assure you that her condition is very good and normal. For the time being, let her undergo intensive treatment in the hospital for a day or two. If her progress continues to be good, there's a possibility she can come home soon."After hearing the doctor's explanation, Lucas hurriedly approached Deasy, who was lying down. Without saying much, the shadowy-eyed man immediately embraced her. He held her tightly, as if pouring out the longing that had accumulated so high in the past few days.
