"Luc, I'll ask again. Are you seriously considering resigning from Quantum Tech? It's not easy to get your previous position. Even though you're Mr. Andreas's son, you still have to put in the effort to achieve everything."

In the dining room, while enjoying breakfast together, Deasy reconfirmed the decision Lucas had already made. She asked again, simply because she was worried that her boyfriend might later regret giving up his job and all the facilities that had been closely attached to him for so long.

Deasy was aware that Lucas's current position was not easy at all. He was faced with two important choices that would both impact his future.

If he chose his family, Lucas would have to accept losing Deasy and their future child. But if he chose Deasy, he would undoubtedly lose his family and all the privileges that came with it.

Neither Deasy nor Lucas wanted this situation. If only Andreas would give his blessing, everything would go smoothly and be fine.

    "Here are all the documents Mr. Lucas requested."As planned, after finishing organizing important items in his office, Lucas decided to return to Deasy's apartment in the afternoon.While waiting to pick up Deasy, Lucas chose to occupy himself by completing some work with Felix. He did this intentionally so that when he eventually left the company, he wouldn't have any outstanding work or responsibilities to worry about.Fortunately, Felix was a big help, allowing them to finish the piled-up work faster than usual."You handle the ones I've marked. Later, I'll read through and evaluate them," Lucas instructed while reading a stack of papers in his hand."Understood, Mr. Lucas," Felix replied promptly. "By the way, regarding your resignation, Mr. Lucas, is it final? If you leave Quantum Tech, what will happen to me?"While still reading the documents, Lucas smiled. He understood the concerns Felix had.For years of dedication, Felix was the person who knew Lucas the best and understoo

    Previously, Lucas could still maintain a relaxed demeanor as Felix examined Deasy's hard drive. However, when his assistant found something there, he became instantly curious.In Lucas's mind, he suspected that Felix had discovered data or evidence of embezzlement or money laundering that Daniel had been doing to the company all along. In any case, Lucas still thought positively that the data had been intentionally recorded or stored by Deasy, as he and Felix had suspected all along.But after reading through each document that Felix presented, Lucas was shocked. From the laptop screen, he clearly saw that the embezzlement of funds and the diversion of several vital company functions were carried out by Deasy, not Daniel Knight, the man he had been suspecting all this time.Not only that, the amount of money Deasy had embezzled was truly staggering. It's no wonder that Quantum Tech suffered losses of tens of billions of rupiah because most of the company's earnings were not deposited

    Upon their arrival and as they entered Deasy's apartment unit, Deasy couldn't bear it any longer and reached out to grab Lucas's arm, trying to stop him in his tracks, attempting to pull him to focus on her."Luc... I beg you, I can explain everything."Lucas immediately turned to look at her, his gaze sharp, and he showed a cutting grin."What do you want to explain? Do you want to tell me why you hate my father? Or maybe you want to explain your intentions for revenge and destroying the Morales family?"Deasy swallowed hard. Like a skilled person, Lucas could accurately perceive what she intended to express."Luc... you really need to hear my explanation.""Yes," Lucas nodded. "As you said the other day, you do need to provide an explanation, Des."Deasy tried to reach for Lucas's hand, intending to invite him to sit down together and talk about the issue that had now become their problem.However, instead of accepting, Lucas pushed Deasy's wrist away. He even deliberately adjusted

    "Enough, Des. You calm down first. I'm sure there's a way out of all the problems that have occurred."Veronica gently rubbed Deasy's shoulder. She observed her friend sitting quietly on the sofa in her apartment.After learning that Deasy had a dispute with Lucas yesterday evening, Veronica intended to check on her friend's condition today. She had been trying to reach Deasy all morning without any response. Worried that something might be wrong, Veronica deliberately visited Park Avenue, where Deasy lived, at lunchtime.As expected, when she arrived at Deasy's apartment unit, she found that Deasy was not working. From her disheveled appearance, swollen eyes, and tired expression, Veronica was certain that there was indeed a problem between Deasy and Lucas.That's why Veronica was trying to help. Even though she couldn't do much, at the very least, she was willing to be a loyal listener in case Deasy needed a friend to talk to, as usual, to vent her frustrations and share her feeling

    Since learning about what Deasy had done to him and the company, Lucas had been trying to fix things. Focusing on the company, he asked Felix to prepare a report on the completed investigation."Sir, are you really going to put Ms. Deasy's name as the person responsible for the losses incurred by the company?"Lucas nodded, affirming what his assistant had just asked. In any case, Deasy had to take responsibility for what she had done to the company."Yes. However you look at it, Deasy must be held accountable," Lucas said confidently. "Moreover, she has been doing this for a long time, consciously and deliberately. That means she was prepared and considered all the risks in case her actions were exposed, as they are now.""I understand that, sir. I fully support your firm stance. However, my question here is, after Mr. Andreas finds out everything and processes this report with the authorities, will you be okay with it? Ms. Deasy is pregnant, after all. She's carrying your child. If

    "Please, Dad. Please tell me the truth."Lucas continued to gaze intensely at his father's face. Instead of leaving after delivering the report on the investigation he had been conducting, the sturdy man took the opportunity to ask questions.Actually, if he wanted to, Lucas could have asked Felix to investigate what had happened in the past between his father and the late Deasy's father. But because he wanted to hear it directly from the mouth of Andreas Morales himself, he decided to ask personally. Who knows, there might have been a misunderstanding that had been going on between both parties."Lucas doesn't know if Papa had actually investigated before this. What is certain is that Deasy embezzled and misappropriated company funds deliberately, seeking revenge against the Morales family, especially Papa. The basis of this revenge is one thing, Dad. Deasy didn't accept it and accused Papa of being responsible for the death of the late Anton Wolf. That's why Lucas wants to clarify d

    Since he had been dismissed, Lucas decided to leave. Just as he arrived at his car, his phone rang. It turned out to be Devina calling."Yes? What's up?""Luc, can we meet right now?""What's the matter?""There's something important I want to discuss.""Alright, just come to my office. We can talk in my room, how about that?""Okay. I'll be there in thirty minutes or an hour."After the call with Devina, Lucas hurriedly decided to return to the office. It had only been about fifteen minutes since he sat down when he heard a knock on his office door.Suspicious, Lucas immediately invited whoever was outside to enter. He assumed it was Devina. However, when he looked up, he found Deasy standing before him."What are you doing in my office?" Lucas asked, his voice sounding cold.Deasy slowly raised her head, attempting to meet Lucas's gaze, then took a few steps forward to place a red and brown folder that she had i

    Accidentally bumping into Lucas at the obstetrician's office weighed heavily on Deasy's mind for three whole days. In reality, whether Lucas hung out in the ER, the cardiologist's practice, or even the operating room shouldn't have been an issue for Deasy at all.However, what really irked Deasy was that instead of accompanying her, a clearly pregnant woman, Lucas was escorting another lady. Who is it that's carrying Lucas's child, anyway? Deasy or Devina? Or could it be that Devina has also invested in her fiancé's womb all this time?Beyond that, whether intentional or not, Lucas's warm and attentive attitude toward Devina infuriated Deasy.Yes, Deasy knew that Lucas had always been a gentle and caring man. His acts of service were exceptional, to say the least. But that didn't mean he had to be that way with every woman. Deasy thought that such special treatment should be reserved for her alone, but that wasn't the case.Before Deasy's very eyes

    "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.
