After getting officially married, Lucas finally brought Deasy to live in his house. Before heading home, the man first took Deasy somewhere."Actually, where are we going?" Deasy, who was initially calm and relaxed, finally started chattering. She was curious about where Lucas was taking her early in the morning.As far as Deasy knew, hotel check-out time was either at 12 PM or 1 PM. However, Lucas, after having breakfast together, seemed to be in a hurry to take her somewhere.Deasy thought that Lucas wanted to bring her to his house as soon as possible and show it to her. During their relationship, Deasy had never known where Lucas lived all this time.But looking at the road they were traveling on, Deasy seemed familiar with it. That's why she was curious and wondered where she was being taken so early in the morning."When we get there, you'll know," Lucas replied casually, smiling.Deasy sighed and tried to be patient. Until finally, the Alphard car they were in stopped and began
"So, do you live here now?" Veronica asked with amazement. After a few weeks since Deasy got married, she decided to visit her friend for the first time after work.Usually, they would meet at their favorite coffee shop, but this time Veronica intentionally went to Deasy's new home, Lucas's house.She even brought Darwin along with her. When they arrived, Deasy immediately took them on a tour before finally sitting on the back terrace, not far from the swimming pool."Now that you're married, you must be living with your husband, Ve," Deasy replied casually."If you look at the house, you must be really comfortable, right? The facilities here are complete."Deasy nodded. "Yeah, blessings for a righteous child. By accepting the trials of life, God has given me an extraordinary gift.""You're so dramatic!" Darwin interjected, who had been observing quietly. "You act like you were the most oppressed person.""Oh, come on. So touchy," Deasy pouted. For some reason, she always felt sensit
Felix could clearly see Lucas emerging from the meeting room, getting into the car as usual. Lucas's face looked pale, with sweat dripping down his forehead. It seemed like his boss was experiencing some discomfort.Throughout the journey home, Lucas couldn't stop massaging his temples. He even asked the driver to take him home immediately.Felix couldn't help but wonder what was happening to Lucas. Curious as always, he mustered the courage to inquire, wanting to find out for himself what was going on with his boss."Mr. Lucas, what's wrong? Are you okay?"Lucas took a deep breath, leaning back in his seat. Moments later, he turned his gaze toward Felix."I swear, I have a terrible headache. I couldn't concentrate at all during the meeting."Felix blinked, furrowing his brow, and wondered, "Headache? Why, sir?"Felix grew even more curious. He recalled that they had just attended a very important meeting, and it occurred to him that this might be the reason for his boss's headache."
Anxiety and worry were something Lucas couldn't avoid when he found Deasy, who had been sick for a few days. For some reason, in recent times, when her blood pressure was checked, it was always higher than usual. Even though Lucas had ensured that his wife consumed healthy and nutritious food. Also, her sleep pattern and stress management were normal, and there were no issues at all.Taking her to the doctor, Deasy was asked to undergo recovery and complete rest. The doctor also prescribed some medication and vitamins to help Deasy gradually return to her normal state."But Mama and Papa don't have a history of high blood pressure, do they? Why am I different?" Deasy questioned.Because she had been sick for a few days, Diana decided to stay at Lucas' house to help take care of Deasy. After dinner, they all gathered in the living room to talk."Well, it's because you're an adopted child," Diana replied casually. "Don't be surprised. If you're wondering why Deasy is so outspoken and un
Deasy blinked repeatedly. When she turned to her right, she didn't find Lucas by her side. Glancing at the neatly arranged digital clock on the nightstand, she realized it was already eight in the morning.Slowly, Deasy sat up. Raising both arms simultaneously, she stretched her stiff muscles. Fortunately, she had slept soundly last night after receiving a gentle massage from her husband. She had slept so soundly that she couldn't even remember if she had dreams or not.Slowly, Deasy decided to get up. She slid off the bed and walked towards the bathroom to freshen up. Once she finished and decided to leave the room, her sense of smell immediately caught a strong and enticing aroma of cooking.Instantly, Deasy's stomach growled. Following her instincts, she walked slowly toward the source of the smell until she stopped right in front of the dining room.There, Deasy found the man she had been looking for since earlier. It was Lucas, who seemed busy cooking something, and she wasn't su
Moreover, it appeared as though he was being ignored by both Deasy and the doctor in front of him. Was his stature not imposing enough to be noticed in this situation?"Ahem!"Lucas deliberately cleared his throat loudly, wanting both individuals who were catching up in front of him to realize that he was present in their midst. "Sorry, but aren't we here for a medical consultation? Why has it turned into a reunion and a trip down memory lane?"After being reprimanded, both Deasy and the doctor fell silent, feeling awkward. Deasy took the initiative to introduce her husband to the doctor."Luc, let me introduce you. This is Joseph. He's an old friend of mine."Lucas nodded lazily and accepted the doctor's extended hand."Joseph. Friend and Deasy's ex-boyfriend."Lucas was taken aback by the doctor's confidence. Feeling challenged, he responded with equal arrogance, "Lucas. The guy who got Deasy pregnant."Deasy turned to him, her eyes wide. Technically, Lucas hadn't said anything untr
"How's your pregnancy going, Des? So far, everything's normal, right?"Deasy and Veronica had just finished shopping. They were currently sitting in a restaurant, enjoying their lunch.They were supposed to meet up for the past few days, but due to their equally busy schedules, they were only able to get together now."In my opinion, her pregnancy is pretty normal. What's not normal is Deasy's behavior."It wasn't Deasy but Darwin who responded to Veronica's question. Darwin, who was Veronica's husband and Deasy's longtime nemesis, was also present at this lunch gathering.Surprisingly, Darwin rarely participated when Deasy was involved. It wasn't without reason. Darwin was convinced that whenever they were in the same place, it would inevitably lead to arguments, as usual."Not normal? Do you think I'm crazy?" protested Deasy, not taking kindly to the remark. "I'm perfectly sane, Win, especially considering how pretty I am.""Oh, really? Hasn't that been the case all along?" Darwin r
Among all the family members eagerly awaiting news of the upcoming baby in Deasy's womb, Andreas Morales is one of the individuals who is enthusiastically involved.Although he initially disagreed with his son marrying the daughter of a past friend, Andreas gradually accepted Deasy's presence. In the end, he not only cared but also often secretly sent gifts and prepared various items and necessities that the future baby might need.As the first grandchild in the Morales family, especially if it's a boy, the arrival of the expected baby is highly anticipated. Even during Deasy's seven-month pregnancy celebration, Andreas intentionally organized a grand thanksgiving event attended by the entire family, many colleagues, and business associates.Unsurprisingly, Deasy received numerous congratulations at that time. Many guests even gave her various gifts. Truly, Andreas enjoyed and eagerly awaited the birth of the future baby."So, have you decided which hospital to choose for Deasy's deli
"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.
