Hera only listened to the man while thinking about many things at that moment."I don't know why you like working there so much. What's so hard about following my words? After all, we're married now," Sean said, making Hera feel quite annoyed and wanting to respond to his statement right away."Sean, can I speak now?" Hera asked, still trying to remain patient.Sean nodded as he listened, "Of course. What do you want to say?""Alright, thank you. Regarding your prohibition this morning, I won't comply. My job is the most important thing to me, you know, besides, we are only married on paper, and after everything is over, we will go back to our own lives. One more thing, I don't have any inheritance like you do. We are very different. Do you understand now?" Hera continued, deciding to leave the conversation. Maybe soaking her body in warm water was the answer.After hearing all that, Sean's gaze was directed at Hera, who was currently heading toward the bathroom.A smile appeared on h

Hera felt eager to finish her dinner, which seemed very late. Of course, she couldn't stand Sean's gaze, which had been fixed on her for a while now."Why don't you go to sleep first? Aren't you going to work tomorrow?" Hera asked."Not getting any rest for an entire day is normal for me. It's fine; I'll wait for you. Besides, I'm not even sleepy," Sean replied, even though it was clear that he was very tired, having yawned several times already.Hera tried to suppress a smile. The last bite was an answer for both of them at this moment, "After I wash these dishes, we should get some rest."Before she could stand up, Sean suddenly grabbed Hera's hand, which made her turn and raise her eyebrows, "Alright, what is it?""Don't bother cleaning up; tomorrow a housekeeper will do it. Let them do their job," Sean said immediately, causing Hera to let out a long sigh afterward. She nodded.Sean smiled and then gestured for Hera to go ahead, "Go on, ladies first."Hera, hearing this and looki

Sean was having breakfast that morning at a restaurant he had chosen to meet Ellia. For some reason, the woman had suddenly said that she wanted to meet Sean as soon as possible. So, the man decided to have the meeting with Ellia at that moment."You know that Viola came to my boutique unexpectedly, right?" Ellia said, noticing that Sean was looking at her."Alright, I'll take your silence as a yes. So, the woman named Viola also sent me a text message this morning. She said she wanted to order a beautiful dress," Ellia continued."And? What does that have to do with me?" Sean asked abruptly, feeling that this conversation was very unimportant.Ellia then handed her phone to Sean, "You can read it yourself."As Sean accepted the thin device, he focused on reading the text message that Viola had sent to Ellia that morning.His expression immediately soured and became uncontrollable after reading it."Hi, Ellia. I hope you’re happy with this news. I want to order a very luxurious dress,

A few years ago...“Is all that news true?”The question suddenly reached Sean’s ears. He looked toward the source of the voice. It was Thomas, who had just entered his room.“What? You didn’t even knock on my door first,” Sean said.Thomas then closed the door to his brother's room again. Shortly after, he knocked a few times. There was Sean, smiling slightly when he saw Thomas obeying his words.“Alright, just come in. You didn’t even have to do that. What’s up?” Sean asked again.Thomas walked toward Sean's room and glanced at the various corners of the spacious, dark-themed room. “Is the news going around about your girlfriend true?”Sean shot him a look. “What do you think?”“Tsk, don’t turn my question back on me, just answer it,” Thomas replied.Sean, focused on his phone, glanced back at the flat device, smiling as he looked at the wallpaper he had just set. “Yes, it’s very true.”“Wow, you’re quite the gentleman. So, what’s your reason for admitting that Viola is your girlfri

After hearing the entire story from Thomas, Hera felt that the man still loved Viola. Yes, the beautiful woman he had always admired while they were still in that special relationship."But why doesn't he want to talk everything over with Viola first?" Hera muttered to herself, letting out a long sigh.At that moment, she was at her beloved home with Margaret. After her meeting with Thomas, Hera decided to visit Margaret, who was happily engaged in her gardening activities. At first, Hera wanted to help her mother, but the woman refused, saying she didn't want Hera to tire herself out."How are you, dear? I'm sorry for being so engrossed in gardening," Margaret said suddenly, sitting beside Hera."I'm very well, how about you, Mom?" Hera asked in return."I'm very good. In fact, I'm so happy because Sean brought a lot of flower seeds along with their plants. All of it is quite expensive, and he was willing to search for what I wanted," Margaret replied, looking pleased.Hearing this m

Hera opened her eyes abruptly. She wasn’t sure what had caused her to wake up so suddenly. Her gaze was scanning her surroundings."My room. I just remembered that I'm staying at Mom’s house tonight," Hera muttered to herself.She paused for a moment when she heard a noise outside her room, recalling that her room was quite close to the kitchen."What’s that? I don’t think there are any rats in this house," Hera mumbled as she got up. She quickly walked out of her room.There, she saw a figure crouched over, looking at something in front of him. Hera let out a long sigh as she realized what was going on."Sorry, I forgot you were here too," Hera said, rubbing her face briefly before stepping out from her doorway.Hearing this, Sean turned to her and smiled before resuming his search. "Why are you awake?""I don't know, something woke me up suddenly. Plus, it's 2 AM," Hera replied as she approached Sean. The man was still in his position."What are you looking for?" Hera asked."Some i

This time, the journey was quite long. Hera had already anticipated that Sean would be busy with his work. But she was actually happy about it. It gave her a chance to relax and focus on her own thoughts.Look at that, Sean was still busy taking work calls. Even the plane they were supposed to board had been waiting for them for a while now, or so the assistant had informed Hera earlier."Are we going to miss the flight?" Hera mumbled to herself, just as Sean finished his call."Sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s go," Sean said as he grabbed Hera’s hand, which surprised her."Please, Mr. and Mrs. Everything is ready," said one of the house staff as they opened the car door for them."Thank you," Hera replied as she stepped inside, and then the door was closed.Sean looked at her as the car began to move, "You don’t need to thank them. It’s part of their job.""You’ve never thought about how nice it feels to be thanked after working all day. A simple thank you makes me feel appreciated f

"Do you want to enjoy the beauty of this beach?" Sean asked suddenly after seeing Hera, who had just finished her activity in the bathroom.Actually, Hera felt dizzy at that moment, but it didn’t bother her too much. "Of course. It would be such a waste if we just stayed in the room after traveling so far to get here.""It’s not a waste. You can come here whenever you want," Sean replied, standing up. He stared at Hera, making her feel trapped under his gaze, unable to move on to her next activity."You could’ve waited for me outside. I just need to freshen up a bit," she started to say."You don’t need to put anything on. It’s just the two of us here. All my assistants are in one place, probably resting, so we won’t be disturbed," Sean interrupted.Hera was shocked. "What? Not put anything on? What do you mean?""Uh, you must be thinking something negative. Hey, I meant you don’t need to wear any makeup or anything like that," Sean clarified.Hera paused for a moment. "Actually, I di

Hera was looking around. As promised, they were waiting for Moly, Sean’s mother, who had said she would arrive shortly.“If she doesn’t show up in the next five minutes, we can leave and choose another restaurant for dinner,” Sean said impatiently.“Alright, but it hasn’t been five minutes yet, and we’ll still have dinner, won’t we?”That remark made both of them turn towards the voice. There stood Moly, accompanied by... Viola.Hera froze when she saw the beautiful woman, who had unexpectedly come with Moly that evening. Hera hadn't been informed of Viola’s presence.“Why are you here?” Sean asked, clearly displeased by Viola’s presence.“You should greet me kindly first. We could talk slowly about... our wedding,” Viola responded, glancing at Hera, who stood silently, looking both confused and upset.“Mom, I didn’t even ask you to invite her tonight,” Sean said to Moly.“Shh, enough. Let’s just get ready for dinner. I’m hungry, and you, sit down,” Moly said calmly.After the command

“No, stay there. I’ll get it for you.”Hera had been hearing these words from Sean all day. She still couldn’t quite believe how attentive Sean had become since learning about her pregnancy. To Hera, though, it seemed a bit excessive.“Sean, it’s just a few steps to get my phone. You’re overdoing it,” Hera said.Soon enough, Sean handed her the phone. “I told you, you didn’t have to do that.”Hera smiled and accepted the phone. “Thank you, but really, you’re going a bit overboard.”“It’s my duty,” Sean replied, sitting down beside her.The two began chatting, talking about different things.“How do you feel now that you know you’re pregnant?” Sean asked.“Just dizziness and nausea. That’s all I’ve been feeling so far,” Hera replied. But oddly enough, ever since she told Sean about her pregnancy and received his special attention, especially the gentle touches on her stomach, the dizziness and nausea she had been feeling for the past few days had disappeared. It felt like magic.“I’ve

Sean opened his eyes. He took a deep breath after realizing that he had been asleep.“Oh my, but it felt like I heard Hera saying that I already had it? Did she mean… a child?” Sean muttered to himself.However, when he looked beside him, he saw Hera fast asleep. Sean smiled softly as he came to his senses again. "Sean, it must have been just a dream. Look at you and Hera, you’ve both been sleeping soundly."Checking his phone, Sean saw that it was 3 a.m. As usual, he had woken up at this time. He decided to watch TV again.On the screen was a movie showing a couple kissing passionately. Sean, watching it, tried to hold himself back.“I’d better find another channel while I wait for my sleepiness to return,” Sean mumbled as he started flipping through the channels.Suddenly, his stomach signaled hunger. He sighed deeply and got up from his position.“It’s always like this,” Sean muttered, intending to cook something simple since he wasn’t much of a cook.The kitchen was well-stocked f

After her long conversation with Jessy ended, Hera decided to leave the bathroom. She still hadn’t seen Sean inside."Is he really angry about what happened?" Hera muttered to herself.For some reason, she felt uneasy about Sean. Maybe it was time to find him and apologize.Hera put on an outer garment that was available in the room before leaving. But before she could open the door, it suddenly opened on its own, and there was Sean, about to walk in.He looked at her, but then Hera smiled, "I was just about to look for you.""Go to sleep. It’s late, or are you hungry?" Sean asked.He walked in, followed by Hera. "No. I… I just wanted to apologize for what happened earlier. I think you're right; this is our honeymoon, and I didn’t need to bring up the contract.""It’s fine. I was just overreacting. I’m sorry," Sean replied more calmly this time. Somehow, he seemed very relaxed and at peace.Hera nodded. The situation felt awkward now. "Where did you go earlier?""Nowhere, just took in

Here was Hera, once again lying in her original position. She was even eating her dinner in the bedroom. However, that didn't make Sean angry or upset. Look, the man had been accompanying Hera all this time."Don’t you want to go out tonight?" Hera asked, turning toward Sean, who was watching TV. The man glanced at her for a moment before returning his gaze to the television."Go where?" Sean asked."For a walk, of course. You’ve come all this way, yet you’re just staying in the room," Hera replied."I'm already bored with everything around here, so what's the point of going for a walk?" Sean muttered instantly."Don’t you like the beach? Then, why did you bring me here if you’re already bored of this place?" Hera asked, puzzled.Sean placed the remote control beside him before looking at Hera. "You like the beach. I found out from your mother. I do like the beach, and I figured it would be nice to take you to the Maldives for our first honeymoon destination."Hera was silent for a mo
