Alana had now helped Leo put on his suit, her sulking expression causing Leo to only smile as he looked at his wife's pursed lips."What's wrong?" Leo asked, unaware of why his wife was sulking, but Alana remained silent. After that, she straightened up, walked towards the side of the wardrobe, and took Leo's phone, then handed it to her husband."Why does the dinner event have to be so far?" Alana asked, causing Leo to shrug nonchalantly."I don't know, Uncle Reno chose the place," Leo replied, prompting Alana to protest again."Can't you ask your uncle to change the venue?" Alana said, causing Leo to spin his wheelchair and gaze at his reflection in the large mirror."That's too much hassle. Uncle Reno is handling everything, so I don't need to bother preparing," Leo replied, seemingly unconcerned with his wife's worries. Alana then walked closer and spun Leo's wheelchair, prompting Leo to bend his knees so they could be level."Don't you care about leaving me with anxiety?" Alana s
Leo is now seated facing Reno in one of the upscale restaurants in the city center."You came alone?" Reno asked, making Leo nod."Originally, Alana wanted to come, but I thought Uncle would feel uncomfortable if I brought her," Leo replied, causing Reno to nod."Of course, we will discuss the business we will start in a few months. You know, the collaboration with the Italian company is a big project, and we need to discuss and organize it as best as possible," Reno said, making Leo nod. Leo was about to respond to Reno's words but was interrupted when the waiters began serving the food they had ordered."Thank you," Leo said to the waiter with his friendly smile, only to be met with a nod from the waiter."Of course, I entrust all these new projects to Uncle," Leo said as he pulled the plate of steak in front of him, and Reno began to take the food he had ordered and started to eat while nodding his head."Of course, Uncle will handle this project perfectly. We do need to expand our
Alana felt slightly uncomfortable under the gaze of the people now focused on her, as she was being attended to by a doctor who was applying a bandage to her head."I will give you some pain relievers and vitamins," the doctor said, glancing at Leo."Alright, doc. Thank you," Leo said. After that, the doctor tidied up his equipment and excused himself to leave, escorted by one of the waiters, leaving only Alana, Leo, Miranda, and Selena in the room.Selena and Miranda looked at Alana with furrowed brows, while Leo stared at her with a sharp gaze, making Alana wonder if her heroic act was a mistake."Aunt, can I talk to Alana alone?" Leo said, without taking his eyes off his wife. However, Miranda did not respond to Leo's request, they still looked at Alana with displeasure, and Leo startled Miranda again."Aunt," Leo exclaimed."Yes," Miranda replied."I want to talk to Alana alone," Leo said again, making Miranda finally nod and lead Selena out of the room. Somehow, after Miranda and
Leo continued to gently stroke Alana's head while she slept soundly in his embrace. For some reason, Leo found it hard to close his eyes. The image of Alana saving him still filled his mind. Leo sighed deeply several times, unsure of what he would feel if something bad happened to his wife.Leo then lowered his face slightly and looked at Alana, who peacefully had her eyes closed. He gently caressed Alana's cheek, which still felt cold. How could this petite woman in his arms have such great courage, as she did a few hours ago when she crashed her own car just to save him? Leo began to think that the incident he experienced was not merely a technical error. There must have been something behind the car Alana was driving, just like Alana's thoughts before. This reminded Leo of the accident several years ago that left his leg unable to move. The situation was almost the same: Leo couldn't control his car, but the difference was that no one helped him, causing his car to fall into a ravi
Alana pushed Leo into the living room when Reno came to visit her and found Leo already waiting."You didn't have to accompany me. I can manage on my own. You must still feel a bit uncomfortable with the injury on your head," Leo said, causing Alana to shake her head immediately."It's okay, I'm fine," Alana replied, though she was only curious about Reno's visit to the house, and she didn't want to miss the chance to eavesdrop on their conversation."Uncle," Leo greeted when they reached their living room, catching Reno, who seemed to be chatting with Selena, turning around."This is quite surprising," Reno remarked when Leo sat opposite him, and Alana sat right next to Leo."Uncle, I hope nothing bad will happen when we have our dinner meeting," Reno said, prompting Leo to nod in agreement."Yes, disasters are unpredictable," Leo said, making Reno also nod in agreement. After Reno glanced at Alana, still wrapped in bandages, Leo seemed to realize."Fortunately, Alana saved me at tha
Leo handed over the earring the detective had found to Alana, causing her to accept it with trembling hands. Even Alana didn't dare to just respond to Leo's difficult-to-interpret gaze when he looked at her.They were now in their room, alone together. After the detective presented all the evidence, Leo only thanked him and instructed everyone in the living room to leave. They then brought Alana to speak privately."Do you want to explain something?" Leo asked in his cold tone, prompting Alana to finally muster the courage to look at her husband's face."What kind of explanation do you want to hear from me?" Alana asked, trying to normalize her voice to avoid sounding shaky to Leo."Why was there an earring inside my car engine?" Leo asked, making Alana pause for a moment."I don't know. I did lose my earring, and you know that, but I didn't lose it in your car," Alana replied with conviction."So, you think someone stole your earring and deliberately placed it in my car?" Leo guessed
Leo and Alana returned to their room with a thousand questions swirling in their minds. Leo, ready to lay his body on the bed, while Alana still stared at the large mirror in front of her with a vacant gaze."He could be the one who sabotaged Leo's car," Alana thought. Then she shook her head. It couldn't be Indra; she was the one driving the car, Alana thought."Alana," Leo called out, making Alana slightly startled as she turned to look at Leo, who was staring at her with raised eyebrows."Yes?" Alana replied."Are you daydreaming?" Leo asked, making Alana shake her head."Yes, you were. I called you several times, and you didn't respond," Leo said, making Alana blink several times."Really?" Alana asked, making Leo sigh deeply."Come here, why were you staring at that large mirror for so long?" Leo said, making Alana immediately smile broadly and run towards Leo, then lay down right beside her husband."What were you thinking about?" Leo asked when Alana was in his embrace."I was
Leo hugged Alana tightly, trying to lull his trembling wife back to sleep in his embrace. Leo was sure Alana must have had a very bad dream, causing her face to pale and her body to tremble intensely when she suddenly screamed in her sleep. Leo didn't ask too many questions because he didn't want to make Alana feel more uncomfortable. So, all Leo could do right now was to provide comfort to Alana while gently stroking her back.Leo kissed the top of Alana's head once, hoping that his wife could go back to sleep peacefully. Leo's efforts paid off when he felt Alana's steady breath, causing Leo to slightly lower his face and see Alana's pale face, now looking calm. Leo then shifted his gaze to the clock on the nightstand, which showed it was two in the early morning, prompting Leo to force his eyes shut again because the sunrise was still a long way off. Fortunately, Leo didn't have much difficulty closing his eyes again as before, perhaps because Alana was close to him, making it easy
This time, Camila walked while holding her uncle's hand, Charlotte's husband. He was a tall man, with blonde hair and striking blue eyes, leading her towards the altar, where Pedro was waiting for her with a beaming smile, making Camila's heart beat faster. Even if Danmonte didn't hold Camila's hand tightly, she would have stepped on her long dress several times because of nervousness. Somehow, his slow steps felt very fast.Until finally, they arrived right in front of the altar, where Pedro immediately reached out his hand, causing Camila to reach out her hand and greet him, prompting Pedro to immediately pull Camila up to the altar, where they would make their sacred vows for a lifetime, witnessed by some important guests attended only by friends and the closest people to Pedro and Camila.Making the sacred vows for life, always faithful in joy or sorrow, always faithful in sickness and in health, they expressed their vows wholeheartedly, living to complement each other until death
Camila stared at the large mirror in front of her, her heart pounding, unable to believe what she was seeing. Her body was now adorned in a beautiful long white dress, clinging gracefully to her figure, accompanied by makeup enhancing her face. This made Camila purse her lips, finally gazing upon herself as the bride she had dreamed of becoming.Her reverie was interrupted when someone entered, causing Camila to smile broadly. "Aunt," Camila said, as Charlotte walked in wearing a white dress clinging to her body as Pedro had described. Although her aunt was in her fifties, she truly looked like a woman in her thirties. Charlotte then approached Camila, looking at her niece with teary eyes."I never imagined my niece, whom I've taken care of since she was little, would grow up to be so beautiful, even becoming a stunning bride," Charlotte said, making Camila blush, only able to lower her head. Charlotte then reached out her hand and lifted Camila's face."You're truly beautiful. Just l
Pedro, Camila, Leo, and Alana are currently discussing the plans for Pedro and Camila's wedding, which will be held one week from now after Leo called Alana enthusiastically, who immediately agreed and promised to prepare the wedding for them. Alana asked Leo to bring Pedro and Camila to their home, and this is where they are currently discussing the dream wedding that Pedro and Camila have been longing for."I think it's better to do it indoors," Pedro said, but Camila immediately shook her head."No, I think it will be more sacred and special if we do it outdoors," Camila said, causing Pedro to turn and look at her."Darling, if we do it outdoors, the weather isn't always favorable, sometimes it rains, sometimes it's hot. Do you want our wedding blessing to suddenly be interrupted by rain? What about the guests and others? We can't just rush to avoid the rain, can we?" Pedro said, making Camila pinch his cheek playfully."But isn't there a tent we can use for outdoor events?" Camila
Leo barged straight into Pedro's room, suddenly, without even knocking, and saw Pedro looking like he hadn't slept for a week."What's up with you? Suddenly applying for leave for next week? Where are you going for a whole week?" Leo asked, seeing the leave letter submitted by his secretary."And what about you? You look really disheveled," Leo asked Pedro again, who was now sitting in front of him."Can I ask for your help?" Pedro suddenly asked, causing Leo to look at him with raised eyebrows."Looks like my guess was right, you've got a problem?" Leo guessed again."It's not really a big problem. I don't know, I could call it a problem or a blessing," Pedro said, making Leo just stare at him with a questioning look, wondering what he meant."A few days ago, after the dinner event at your place, I immediately called Camila's aunt and told her about my intention to propose to her, and also said that Camila's trip to California was canceled. And unexpectedly, she flew here right away
Pedro and Camila sat in silence, their faces tense as they occasionally glanced at the woman in front of them who was looking around."Is this your house?" the middle-aged woman in front of them asked."Yes, this is my house," Pedro answered, still with a tense atmosphere on their faces."What do you do to afford such a big house?" she asked again, making Camila immediately look at Pedro, then turning back to the woman sitting in front of her, a fashionable middle-aged woman who still looked like she was in her thirties, she was Camila's aunt named Charlotte."Aunt, Pedro is a secretary at Samudra Group. Do you know about that big company?" Camila asked, trying to explain a little bit about Pedro. After returning from dinner at Leo's house the next day, Camila and Pedro planned to tell Charlotte about their relationship. And what they didn't expect was that Charlotte immediately flew over to meet Camila and Pedro. Of course, she didn't agree with Camila's sudden plan. Charlotte said t
Pedro stopped his car right outside Leo's residence, but as he was about to step out of the car, Camila suddenly pulled the end of his jacket."Why?" Pedro asked, making Camila look at him with hesitation."I'm embarrassed," Camila said, making Pedro just purse his lips. Then, he reached out his hand and gently caressed Camila's cheek."Why be embarrassed? Weren't you very close to Alana before?" Pedro said, making Camila shake her head again."That's not what I'm thinking about. I'm embarrassed to meet Mr. Leo and to know that they already know about your proposal plans," Camila said, feeling anxious, making Pedro once again give her a reassuring smile. Pedro was captivated by the glow on both sides of his future wife's face, looking very beautiful tonight after Pedro had truly explained all his plans to Leo, even though Leo had guessed them beforehand. But Leo pretended not to know and treated the news as a surprise. That's why Leo and Alana decided to invite Pedro and Camila for di
Pedro fell silent, gazing at Camila who now only lowered her head."What does that shake of your head mean? Is it a sign that you're rejecting my proposal?" Pedro asked, causing Camila to raise her face again, looking into Pedro's pleading eyes."It's not like that," Camila said, causing Pedro to raise an eyebrow."Then what's your answer?" Pedro asked."Of course, I would gladly accept your proposal, but there's something bothering me. I'm still not sure about what you feel for me. It's hard to believe that you could declare your proposal so quickly, especially when we still have two weeks to get to know each other," Camila said, unable to meet Pedro's gaze as he now only looked at their intertwined fingers."Love doesn't require much time to settle in someone's heart. Imagine, initially I didn't think I would develop feelings for you, but when I learned about your feelings for me, I started to open my heart. And I also feel surprised, usually I never easily open my heart to other wo
Pedro stared at Camila with furrowed brows."What's wrong? I'm just giving my opinion on the movie we're watching," Pedro said, causing Camila to sigh deeply."I'm not blaming you for having an opinion about this movie, but can we not judge them based solely on scenes like that?" Camila said, feeling like Pedro was intentionally bringing up such scenes."What's wrong with that?" Pedro asked, seemingly wanting to corner Camila further."I don't know, but it's better if we just go back to watching. Besides, the scene has already passed. Look, they're not kissing anymore," Camila said, then fell silent while looking at Pedro, who was staring at her mischievously. Somehow, she had clearly mentioned the scene, making Camila close her eyes in embarrassment."You're the one who mentioned the scene so explicitly. Alright, now that they're done with their acting, I'm curious. What if we do it now?" Pedro suddenly said, making Camila widen her eyes."What?" Camila said, but her words were cut o
Camila, who was engrossed in watching the drama she had been eagerly anticipating, was suddenly startled when Pedro sat right next to her, causing Camila to furrow her brow as she glanced at him."Aren't you supposed to be resting?" Camila asked, making Pedro nod briefly."Well, I was planning to rest, but it turns out I'm not sleepy yet, so I thought I'd just keep you company and watch with you," Pedro said, causing Camila to fall silent and choose to return her gaze to the flat screen in front of her. Of course, at the moment, she was watching a romantic drama about love. Camila wasn't sure if Pedro would like the drama she was currently watching, but several minutes passed and Pedro remained faithfully seated beside her, not budging at all, causing Camila to hesitantly glance at Pedro who was focused on the movie in front of him. Could he actually enjoy films like this with a romantic drama vibe? Camila wondered as she looked at him with raised eyebrows, but from his appearance, Pe
