Audrey was grooming herself in front of the vanity mirror. Suddenly the sound of a cell phone call distracted her.Nicky's name was on the screen. Audrey immediately swiped the answer button."Hello, Audrey? Did you go to Alea's school? How was it, what happened there?"Before Audrey had even said hello, Nicky was already peppering her with questions. There was a worried tone that Audrey could catch in the man's voice."Nicky, I... met Daniel earlier."With a heavy sigh, Audrey began to tell the story."Daniel?" Nicky was surprised. "How come?""You remember I told you I left a boy with Daniel? That boy was Kenzie, Alea's classmate." Audrey said somberly.There was a tinge of longing and wanting to hug the boy she had given birth to. Although she wasn't sure if Kenzie came from her seed or Daniel's."Alea and Kenzie were involved in a problem with another child, and at that time Daniel also came," she added."Did he say anything to you?""No, he didn't. I left the school in a hurry. N
Audrey squealed in surprise.Daniel then pulled her hand away and said in a teasing tone, "Look, you're already wet."In an instant, Audrey's face turned red. She struggled, trying to free her body from the man's embrace.Daniel's face was now grinning triumphantly and beaming with passion.Daniel's face came closer, trying to kiss Audrey, but she turned her face away. Despite his failure, Daniel continued, kissing her madly on the cheek."Daniel, you're crazy!" Audrey shouted.Daniel laughed, he then tilted his face, displaying an evil smirk. "Yes, I've been crazy since the doctor told me five years ago that you were dead," Daniel said hoarsely.Audrey only replied coldly, sneering at Daniel's words. She didn't fully believe it. Because Audrey was preoccupied with her thoughts, Audrey was caught off guard and Daniel went straight for her exposed neck.Audrey blinked, but her hands tried to push Daniel's body away. In vain, because her strength is not comparable to Daniel's. All he di
After Audrey left the room, Daniel followed her. He saw how Audrey calmed a little girl in her arms and brought her into her room.Daniel stood in front of the room with Alea's name on it. It turned out to be a little girl who went to the same school as his son Kenzie.Daniel smiled wryly. After leaving him just like that, Audrey easily turned to another man and had a child.Imagining Audrey with another man and making out made Daniel's blood boil.How could that woman leave him with all the adversity he suffered, while Audrey lived happily with another man to produce a child?Daniel's hands clenched into tight fists, his teeth chattering with anger. He didn't want to stay there too long, so Daniel decided to return to his office.He drove the car himself with the pain in his left shoulder. And his heart...Less than an hour into the trip, he parked his car in the lobby. He got out after the clerk approached and nodded at him. Upon arriving at the office lobby, he received a respectfu
Patricia's worried question was answered by Daniel coldly."Yes."Patricia opened her eyes, tried to ignore that, and asked again. "What about Kenzie at school, who did he fight with? Did that person apologize to Kenzie?" She tried to show her concern as a mother, but she got another sarcastic answer from Daniel."You don't need to interfere in Kenzie's business."Then Daniel dismissed Patricia's hands, releasing her from his embrace. Patricia was stunned and moved backward. She looked sad at Daniel's treatment just now.Since Audrey's death, Daniel's attitude has changed towards her. Previously she thought her life with Daniel would be very happy, coupled with the presence of Kenzie who was their child, but that was not the case.She answered Daniel somberly. "Why can't I interfere with Kenzie? He's my son, but we've never been close and you seem to have built a big wall between us." Patricia's voice was hoarse and her eyes began to heat up.Then she continued. "Do you think I don't
"You're crazy!"Audrey pushed hard on Daniel's body to get out of his confinement. But instead, the man hugged her tightly. Not wanting to let Audrey escape."You're not going anywhere," he said confidently.Audrey didn't just stop, she was still trying to struggle to get away. "Let me go, Daniel! Our relationship is over!" she screeched in frustration.She hated Daniel's sudden arrival in her life. She hated that Daniel managed to dominate her, while she was unable to resist and instead ended up enjoying the man's game. Shit! Audrey was such a fool.Daniel didn't care about Audrey's screams, his burly hands still wrapped tightly around the body in front of him. Channeling the passionate longing that had been stifled for the past five years.Audrey, who was getting annoyed and frustrated, continued to hit Daniel's body with all her might. Daniel knew that there was hatred in Audrey's heart for him. Therefore, he let Audrey vent her emotions until her punch hit Daniel's injured shoulde
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 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
