Daniel gave Patricia a disapproving look. He felt very silly.How could that woman look so cheap by always approaching him to the point of being willing to do anything?Patricia squatted down in front of Daniel and took one of his hands, saying some nonsense.Audrey wasn't like the old Audrey anymore...Audrey was already with Nicky and no longer loved Daniel...Not wanting to hear too much, Daniel stood up and brushed Patricia's hand away. He didn't want to hear anything from her mouth.Patricia sighed in frustration. Because she always received rejection from Daniel, she finally moved back a step and then unbuttoned her shirt one by one.If Daniel always rejected her, Patricia had a thousand ways to attract Daniel's attention again. Any man would never refuse this.Daniel was a man and Patricia was sure he would be attracted by Patricia's beautiful body."What are you doing?" Daniel looked at her sharply.Because now Patricia's hands had reached the bottom button and her cleavage wa
Daniel watched Kenzi who was currently standing with a blank look. Today's events must have left the boy in shock and confusion.As he saw everyone blaming and insulting the woman, it must have been a question in Kenzie's mind. What was going on?Daniel was worried that this would affect Kenzi's psychology in the future.With steady steps, he approached Kenzie, then tapped her lightly on the shoulder to get her attention. Kenzie turned his head. It was with an expressionless face."What are you doing here?" Daniel asked gently. He watched Kenzie's eyes, trying to figure out the meaning of the boy's expression.Kenzie just looked at his father with a lot of thoughts. There were so many questions gathering in his head right now, that Kenzie himself felt confused about where to start asking them.Why did Alea's mother slap his father that afternoon? Why did their family seem to hate Alea's mother? And... about herself. Kenzie felt strange because he felt so close to Alea's mother. They d
"Are you sure?" asked Nicky.Audrey bit her lip, then nodded. However, realizing that Nicky wasn't looking at her she hastily replied, "Yes."Silence again enveloped them.However, since it was Nicky who had been helping Audrey, she was unhappy with Daniel's actions and intended to help Nicky.After all, Nicky was her savior when she tried to stay away from Daniel.Their conversation is soon over as Nicky has to leave and Audrey has to take care of Alea again. However, before going to the dinner table, Audrey went into her room and picked up a ring box. For a moment, she looked at it thoughtfully. But after a few minutes, her mind was made up. She hurriedly dressed herself to go to Wilson's company.Beforehand, Audrey had also contacted the person she used to pay to keep Alea company at home if she had important work to do outside. In less than 20 minutes, the person arrived and took care of Alea's needs."Mommy will be home soon, don't be naughty."Audrey then kissed Alea's head. The
Daniel got up from his seat and followed Audrey. Nicky, who was worried about Audrey, was also about to follow her, but Daniel's assistant immediately held her back."Miss Audrey has already said that she wants to talk alone with Mr. Daniel. So..." The man in the black suit pointed to Nicky's seat, signaling her to sit back and not interfere.Nicky could do nothing but comply with the man's request, even though his heart still felt uneasy. He was afraid that Daniel would melt Audrey's heart and then she would return to Daniel.Nicky rubbed his face roughly. A heavy sigh came from his breathing. The look of anxiety on his face really couldn't be covered at the moment.Suddenly an old man who was there asked Nicky."Mr. Nicky. Isn't that woman your fiancée?" he asked for confirmation.Nicky only showed a faint smile in reply.***Audrey walked towards the elevator. Soon the elevator opened and she entered it, followed by Daniel who followed her. When the elevator doors closed and Audrey
Audrey left Daniel and headed to the company cafeteria. Talking to Daniel made her heart hot, so she decided to cool down with a glass of juice. After all, she was also waiting for Nicky to finish his meeting.She needed to tell Nicky that no matter what happened, no matter what Daniel would do, Audrey would never leave Nicky. She would always be by Nicky's side to help her.The man deserved it. Audrey is not the type of nut that forgets its shell. After all, Nicky's current problems were related to her, so it was Audrey's duty to help solve them.Audrey sighed tired of all the problems that had happened in her life lately. Everything was so sudden. Audrey was being confronted with her past that was on display again.No matter how she tries to escape it all, fate still brings her back to meet her past.In another place.After Audrey's departure, the grin on Daniel's face that had appeared slowly faded. Then he looked down at the pond below. The ring meant so much to Daniel. Back then,
Daniel sat on the edge of the pool. He was exhausted while the other two continued their search. His hands then pulled at the knot of the tie that felt strangling around his neck, stretching it so that he could take a deep breath.Daniel had been searching for over an hour, but the man hadn't found him. He looked up at the hot midday sun, then his gaze returned to the two men there. He was a little frustrated, but he wasn't about to give up.***After leaving the cafeteria, Audrey was inside Nicky's room. She sat down unfocused. Her mind was reminded of Daniel throwing himself into the pool. An honorable man like Daniel would humble himself by getting into the pool just for a ring. Audrey didn't expect it.Nicky put the documents on his desk, then noticed Audrey's pensive, blank look. He walked over to her.Nicky was worried that the problem that had just occurred would disturb and burden Audrey's mind. She knew very well that Audrey was a typical
Nicky had to hold another meeting with the shareholders to discuss the continuation of the company's management, which had been disrupted by Daniel's arrival.For now, Audrey can also relax because Daniel will not bother Nicky for a while.Even so, she must not let her guard down because Daniel can suddenly act unexpectedly.Ah, it felt like she was at war with him. Why did Daniel have to reappear in her life? Since then, Audrey's sleep has never been peaceful.Being too bored there and not knowing when Nicky would finish, Audrey decided to go home first. Alea was also waiting for her at home. She took the elevator down to the ground floor.As she passed the pool, she paused and remembered how Daniel had thrown himself in there, looking for something that had no use anymore."Don't know who this belongs to.""Looks like one of the visitors here left it behind."Audrey heard the conversation and looked back. There were two s
Kenzie stayed in the garden by himself for a long time. He threw various pebbles and also moved back and forth to watch the ants walk by.He usually did these activities with Alea. After getting bored there, Kenzie decided to go back to class. He always ran into some friends who greeted him, but Kenzie only replied with a faint smile. Reluctant to interact more.Sitting on his seat, Kenzie's hand fumbled with his pants pocket, about to take out the picture he had folded earlier. However, Kenzie suddenly turned into a panic because he couldn't find the picture."Hah!"Kenzie stood up and reached into his two pants pockets and sure enough, they were empty. He hurriedly ran back to the park. He even ignored the calls of some of his friends.Kenzie traced each of the paths he had passed carefully and continued to do so until his feet stopped at the park. Kenzie circled the park and searched through the bushes, but still couldn't find it.It felt l
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
