Kenzie heard a moment of silence after he asked before the woman's voice was heard again."Why did you just disconnect the cell phone?" Audrey deflected the question from Kenzie."I thought I pressed the wrong contact name when I heard another voice that wasn't Daddy," Kenzie explained what she felt at that moment."You shouldn't have done that. When talking to an older person you should be more polite and don't cut the connection first if the person hasn't finished talking." Audrey advised her.And strangely Kenzie didn't feel bothered by it.Usually, he hated it when people lectured him.Especially a woman who was often with his father.Everyone can only set his on a high note without thinking about his feelings.But unlike Audrey, the woman spoke softly and warmly. Somehow Kenzie was more able to accept if people said softly like that to her."All right," Kenzie replied calmly. "Is Daddy with you?" He asked again about Daniel.Audrey was silent for a moment. "Yes, he's with me.""I
Patricia impatiently entered the lobby of the apartment building and a security guard stopped her."Can you show me your ID card, Miss?" The security guard asked for a special ID to gain access to the apartment.Patricia couldn't show it because she didn't have one."Who do you want to see?" the security guard then asked."Daniel Anderson."The other security guard tried to check Daniel Anderson's name in his data journal. However, Daniel Anderson's name was not recorded there."There is no one named Daniel Anderson here. Maybe you're wrong.""I'm not wrong.""Can you tell me the floor and apartment number?" The security guard asked again to make sure, but Patricia still couldn't answer.The two security guards glanced at each other and decided not to let Patricia in."Sorry, you are not allowed to enter.""Please let me in, it's important! My future husband is inside and I need to see him." Patricia tried to insist, but the two security guards wouldn't budge."I'm sorry, Miss, it's t
"Daniel, hurry to the hospital. Patricia is unconscious right now."That was the voice of Abraham-Daniel's grandfather who loved Patricia and hoped she would become his granddaughter-in-law. He supported everything Patricia did to get Daniel.He had even helped Patricia implant the seeds of herself and Daniel into Audrey's womb."Unconscious?" Daniel asked nonchalantly. Feeling no longer strange about Patricia's actions on that one.The woman's weapon was always the same. Pretending to be sick and helpless. Daniel had memorized it and was used to it."Yes, you have to get here quickly!" Abraham ordered forcefully."All right, Grandpa," Daniel said with resignation. If his grandfather had spoken, he didn't want to argue. It wasn't that he couldn't, Daniel just still respected him.After that, he disconnected the cell phone and started looking at Audrey again."Don't you want to ask me something?""What for? It's none of my business," Audrey said as she looked away, refusing to meet Dan
Audrey closed her eyes for a moment. As if realizing she was almost carried away, she immediately opened her eyes again."No, go away!" she said firmly, then pushed Daniel's body until the man moved to step back.Audrey left Daniel, then entered the room and locked it from the inside.Audrey leaned her body against the door, she could hear how Daniel's footsteps began to walk away until the sound of the door opening and closing again. That meant Daniel was gone.At that moment, Audrey's body dissolved to the floor, while still leaning against the door.She closed her eyes while holding back feelings that were difficult to define at this time. Daniel's touch and the look in his eyes made Audrey yearn. She fell in front of Daniel. The man was able to destroy her heart that she had previously arranged without the man's presence.And now Audrey began to waver again. Her heart burned as soon as she heard Patricia's name come out of the man's mouth.The woman who was one of the causes of th
Daniel's eyes widened when Patricia mentioned Audrey's name. That means..."Have you met Audrey?"They looked at each other with meaningful eyes. Patricia could not hold back the pain in her heart. Daniel had suddenly broken off their relationship, and it must be because Audrey had seduced him."Yes. We met. And do you know what she said?" Patricia deliberately asked to wait for Daniel's reaction.She could see that he was curious. He raised one of his aliases, and Patricia continued her sentence. "Audrey said that she would take you away from me again. She's a cunning woman. She deceived you by faking her death. Can you still trust her?"Patricia tried to poison Daniel's mind so that he would hate Audrey. That way, Daniel would undo his intention to break up their relationship.Daniel snorted with a sardonic smile. In a way, he already knew how Patricia was. This time he would not be easily deceived."I canceled the engagement, it has nothing to do with Audrey. Even if she doesn't co
Daniel then took a brush from Kenzie's hand. He began to paint the figure of a woman beside Kenzie.Kenzie knitted his eyebrows as he watched Daniel's drawing. It was obvious that the figure did not resemble Patricia. Kenzie knew that very well. Patricia had long hair and wore short clothes, while the character drawn by Daniel had short hair and wore different clothes.Kenzie was even more curious when Daniel wrote the word Mommy above the character."Dad, who is this?" asked Kenzie who couldn't contain his curiosity."Mommy. She's your mom," Daniel replied with a smile.It was about time Kenzie knew who his mother was. All this time Daniel never said anything, especially when Patricia always admitted to Kenzie that she was his mother. Daniel kept quiet because he thought Audrey was gone and Kenzie would never recognize her.But now things are much different, Audrey has returned and Daniel thinks it's time to tell Kenzie about Audrey.Kenzie's eyes rounded in disbelief at what Daniel
"I want Mommy!"Alea continued to whine about being with Audrey. Nicky brought Alea into the room so that she could fall asleep, but instead of falling asleep, Alea continued to cry for Audrey.This was the first time Alea was away from Audrey. She was not used to it, especially since Audrey always read her a fairy tale when she went to bed."Alea, baby, it's late, Mommy will come tomorrow, but now Alea will sleep first."Alea refused to listen and continued to cry for Audrey. Nicky was confused and at a loss."What if Uncle reads a story? Alea loves fairy tales, right?"Nicky quickly took a storybook from Alea's bag. Audrey had brought it to him earlier. She knew Alea's bedtime habit."Here you go." Nicky showed her a storybook.Alea's attention was distracted, and the child looked at the book Nicky was holding. Although her sobs were still audible, they were not as loud as before."You like stories about princes and princesses, right?"Alea nodded through her tears, making the child
The Pearl of Venice, the most special and most beautiful gown in the shop, looks just right on the woman there. It was the dress that chose its owner."The store manager told her employee with a smile on his face.Patricia who heard this felt envious. If there was a special dress there, it should belong to Patricia, not someone else. After all, who was the woman who was said to be so beautiful in that dress?Patricia became curious.She made her way to the other dressing room that the store manager had told her about. Once there, she was surprised to find Audrey wearing a broken white dress.Audrey, who saw Patricia in the mirror, was also surprised to find her there. She reflexively turned her body to face Patricia."You?" asked Patricia in disbelief. She looked at Audrey from head to toe.Patricia admitted that the dress Audrey was wearing was more beautiful than the one she was currently wearing. The dress should have been more appropriate if Patricia was wearing it. Not a subordin
Audrey let out a long sigh, she felt that Vincent was not her rival, so she was not interested in racing with him at all. Besides, she had more important things to do than just racing.Audrey shook her head. "I don't want to," she said, taking another swig of her drink and casting her eyes forward. "Why don't you take the other racers? With your family's last name, you can take them all instead of wasting time with me."Vincent chuckled. He just wanted to compete with Audrey, the woman who had beaten him out of boredom. The more Audrey rejected him, the more curious Vincent became about her."How can you like car racing? From the looks of you, you're not the type of woman who likes a challenge."Audrey laughed. "What you see is not necessarily the truth," Audrey said ambiguously.That was also what was currently happening to her. What she had seen from Daniel, how he had tried to convince her that he would love her for life and it turned out to be nothing but nonsense.Audrey was now
Audrey broke away from Vincent, she took a deep breath before returning her facial expression, trying to look normal.No, she wasn't crying. She must not cry. Daniel couldn't make her like this."Are you okay?" asked Vincent as he searched Audrey's eyes.She then squinted at Vincent. "Yes, I'm fine," she said firmly. Refusing to be looked at with a pitying gaze.Vincent pointed at Audrey's wet under-eye. Audrey immediately wiped it away and said loudly that she was not crying. "I got dust in my eyes earlier," she reasoned.Vincent smiled at her. Even under these circumstances, the woman still showed her pride.Audrey's hand looked up at Vincent. He frowned, not understanding what she wanted."The car keys. Give it to me, let me drive. You're too slow to drive." Audrey complained.She wanted something to get her adrenaline going right now. That way, it would be easy for Audrey to forget for a moment what made her heart so disturbed.Vincent seemed hesitant to give it to her, so Audre
Seeing that, Audrey couldn't resist going deeper and checking further.Audrey moved into the living room without Lili's permission. She knew she shouldn't have done such an unethical act, but her heart couldn't resist finding out more information.Asha was too clever to manipulate Audrey's feelings right now, so she could no longer think clearly and only suspicion dominated her mind.Audrey examined the living room carefully, then who knows what wind made her step back in without the owner's permission."What exactly are you looking for?" Lili asked Audrey. She knew that the woman in front of her right now was her boss's ex-wife. And because Lili had a specific purpose, the woman deliberately ended up confessing."Do you live alone here?" asked Audrey who seemed to be still examining in detail everything she passed."No, I don't. This is my house and Daniel's too."Audrey flinched for a moment at that, before she went back to her normal demeanor, trying to hide the hole in her heart.
"I can't come with you! I have something important to do!" Audrey refused when Vincent tried to force her to sit in his car.Audrey tried to leave, but Vincent pulled her back."All right, I'll drive you. Anywhere, I'm ready. As long as we can talk," Vincent said with a little force. He didn't mean any harm by forcing Audrey, all he wanted was a one-on-one talk with her.Audrey knew that he wouldn't mess with her. She looked at Vincent's face with an expectant expression.Not wanting to be the center of attention of the many people who were already glancing in their direction, Audrey was forced to follow Vincent and sat in his sports car.Audrey told him the address of her current destination and Vincent agreed to drive her. Along the way, Vincent continued to talk to Audrey about many things.He was still talking about what happened a few years ago.Audrey was not interested at all. Moreover, Vincent is one of the Anderson family members. First Daniel, then Asha, and now Vincent. It
Savi realized that she was being influenced by Asha's words. The woman was either intentional or not, but now Audrey began to think about it.Audrey admitted that she could not just close her ears and heart to what Asha said.And now she is very upset and has a prolonged dilemma.Initially, Audrey wanted to give Daniel a chance to fix everything. Start all over again. Maybe a new relationship would be much better for them.Especially now that Alea and Kenzie are filling their days. However, now Audrey feels that she is too naive.Daniel doesn't need her. Audrey should have realized that. Audrey felt that she was very stupid and she was sure that Daniel would consider her a woman who was easily tricked.Audrey exhaled slowly. Swallowing her heart so as not to affect her mood and behavior today. Some children were currently watching her.Audrey did not want the children to feel that her mother was not okay. Earlier, when they found out that Audrey's hand was injured by a knife slice, th
Audrey used the contact name viewer app even though she did not save the number.Asha. What else could she want? As Audrey remembered, Joni would take care of her.Audrey thought for a moment whether she should answer or not. Finally, she decided there was no harm in answering the call. Audrey wanted to know what the woman wanted to tell her."I thought you wouldn't answer my call," Asha said in a voice that sounded like it was smiling."What do you want?" she didn't want to waste time on small talk. After all, Asha wouldn't have called her just to say hello.Asha laughed. "I admit that you are indeed a smart woman. Unfortunately, your intelligence can't make Grandpa Abraham melt and accept you. You will never be accepted into the Anderson family. So don't even dream, Audrey."Audrey rolled her eyes in disgust. "So, you called me just to talk about this insignificant matter?"Asha was surprised that Audrey was not affected by her words at all.She thought Audrey would be upset or some
"Stop meddling with my personal life, Grandpa," Daniel warned Abraham. He took the last sip of his glass and left.Daniel briefly glanced at Asha who was currently choosing to look away.As the man exited the living room, Daniel bumped into Vincent who had just come down the stairs.Vincent didn't know what Daniel was here for and why. What was clear was that he didn't care. Vincent nodded in greeting to the man and Daniel nodded back. Afterward, they went their separate ways.After Daniel left, Asha looked very upset. She growled and held back her frustration. Asha did not expect that Daniel still liked Audrey. Even though five years have passed, the man still harbors his feelings for Audrey and Asha hates that right.Abraham saw Asha's unhappy expression."What's wrong, dear?" asked Abraham who immediately approached Asha."I hate Audrey, Grandpa. That woman always takes what I want. I'm upset and sad because Audrey has damaged a car that is very valuable to me." Asha bent her face
"Audrey!"When Asha said that name, Daniel immediately went silent.Now he knew the reason behind Audrey's morning rage and her coldness towards Daniel. She didn't like the car being given to Asha.If that's true, it means that the car is a special memory for Audrey so she doesn't want Asha to have it ...Knowing this, Daniel secretly smiled faintly.He felt happy, because that way, Audrey had shown her jealousy."You have to talk to Audrey so that she doesn't do whatever she wants. That car means a lot to me because it was given to me by you, but out of jealousy Audrey just destroyed it. She should realize that now-""Asha, enough," Daniel warned her. He didn't want Asha to sneer further at Audrey.Asha's mouth fell open when Daniel said that.She knew from that that he was still very much in love with his ex-wife.Asha did not like to see it. After five years, the woman should not have to come back and create new problems.She hated Audrey, and now Asha should be able to try to get
After finishing their porridge, the two children grabbed Audrey's attention and asked her to read them a royal fairy tale.Alea loves stories about kingdoms and now she wants to hear a fairy tale about a princess who is rescued by a prince. Kenzie, who has rarely heard a fairy tale, is eager to experience the same thing as Alea. He wanted to hear Audrey tell the story.So he readily agreed and looked very enthusiastic.Audrey was going to take care of some work that had previously been emailed by Joni, but once she saw the hopeful eyes of her two children, Audrey decided not to do it and instead chose to accompany them.Daniel, who was still struggling with the laptop in front of him and the pile of documents on the side of the table, occasionally glanced at Audrey.He noticed how Audrey gave warm affection to their children. Daniel's heart warmed instantly. He secretly smiled, though not fully.As he was enjoying this warm scene suddenly the ringing of his cell phone distracted Danie
