“What are you going to tell Ji Hwan later, Miss?” Axel asked, unable to resist asking. He also felt frustrated and guilty seeing Aura's distress.
“I don't know. I'm confused!” Aura complained in frustration.Yes, Aura didn't know what to say to Ji Hwan? Admit that she lived with Axel for three months? But what was the reason? Living together must have a reason, right? It couldn't be decided on a whim! And Ji Hwan would surely interrogate her, trying to find out the reasons behind Aura's decision!“Oppa!” Aura called out after arriving at the office and hurriedly entering Ji Hwan's room, so rushed that she didn't even knock on the door! Disregarding the prevailing norms of politeness.“Explain to me honestly, Park Ae Ra! I don't want to hear any more lies from your lips. If you want to save your career, you better tell me the truth right now!” Ji Hwan raged.Aura weighed her options, considering the consequences that would arise, both good and bad. Ji Hwan, who waLionel stared blankly at his phone. News about Aura and Axel. Living together? Vacationing together? How is that possible? It's absurd, isn't it? Aura could not possibly be dating her own bodyguard! And hasn't Axel already had a girlfriend? The blonde woman at the restaurant that time, right? Hopefully, this is all just baseless gossip! That's Lionel's hope.Until unable to prevent it, Lionel's mind goes back to the moment when Axel acted so protectively towards Aura. Making Lionel's confidence fades bit by bit, then completely shatters! Do they have a special relationship? But isn't Aura his girlfriend?Lionel looks at the diamond ring on his hand with mixed feelings. The plan to propose Aura must be postponed! Lionel needs an explanation from Aura as soon as possible. He doesn't want any misunderstandings between them!No wonder that, who was originally in Jeju for work matters, he immediately took the first flight to Seoul right after finishing his job! Lionel doesn't
For several weeks, Aura isolated herself in the music studio in her house, and even Min Young's presence couldn't bring back Aura's cheerfulness.Moreover, with the numerous jobs intentionally postponed, waiting for news about Aura to subside on its own. Although not entirely, because as some companies didn't care about the circulating news about Aura.Axel, seeing how often Min Young came to Aura's house, didn't comment. It's his characteristic of not wanting to bother, just silently observing.No wonder Axel wasn't too busy because Aura spent more time in her house than coming to the office! Only occasionally did Aura go outside to finish jobs that couldn't be postponed.If Axel could be honest, the criticisms weren't only directed at Aura but also at him. Axel didn’t know how those people found out about Axel's social media accounts, even though he's just an ordinary person, not a celebrity! The man was amazed when he realized how diligent the public was in diggin
"Has Miss Ae Ra gone to sleep?" Axel asked Aunt Choi.The middle-aged woman had accompanied Aura for a while after Aura took the medicine Axel had just bought. Perhaps Aunt Choi was also afraid that something would happen to her young lady. Or maybe Aunt Choi considered Aura as her own daughter, no wonder the middle-aged woman was concerned about Aura's condition."Yes, she just fell asleep. Don't worry.""Thank you."Aunt Choi patted Axel's sturdy shoulder, comforting him without words. If Axel could, he wanted to go in, but it seemed impossible. It would definitely become gossip material if a servant had a naughty mouth! So, Axel had to move to the living room, being vigilant in case Aura needed help. Even though she had asked Axel to come home earlier, but he felt anxious without knowing the cause.Lionel, who had just returned to Seoul, hurried to Aura's house, eager to meet his girlfriend. But Lionel had to suppress his anger upon seeing Axel there too!
Aura felt a cold breeze penetrate her body, even to the bones. Her brain was working hard, calculating carefully in her mind. But even though she had counted repeatedly, the answer remained the same. Her menstruation hasn't come yet, even though it was three weeks late from the scheduled time. Oh God!Why didn't Aura realize that she had been late for her period for that long?Why didn't Aura realize that she hadn't needed a pad for a long time?Why didn't Aura realize that there had been such a significant change in her body?Panic spread through her heart, realizing that the possibility she most wanted to avoid was likely to happen! In a hurry, Aura grabbed the pregnancy test she had bought for the first time.A test pack that Aura had never used before.A test pack that determined Aura's future and career.A test pack that would provide answers to Aura's anxiety.Aura read the instructions carefully, do it according to the instructions, and waited
Mommy Erika took a deep breath, looking restless, which puzzled her husband, Daniel Park, who was also Aura's father."What's wrong? Why do you look uneasy? What are you thinking about?" Daddy Daniel asked, sitting beside his wife."I don't know, but I just feel something isn't right.""Maybe because you feel tired after our long journey yesterday," Daddy Daniel comforted, embracing his wife. They appeared so harmonious and full of love. Their nearly 30-year marriage didn't diminish the romance between them, instead, it became stronger! Especially at this middle-aged stage, where they could only rely on each other because their daughter was busy building her career far away!Yes, they had just returned from a month-long tour of Europe holiday, but mommy Erika was sure her uneasy feeling wasn't due to that. It wasn't because of fatigue, in other words. Honestly, mommy Erika felt anxious about her only daughter for reasons she couldn't explain. Mother's intuition,
Aura widened her eyes in shock, so shocked that she choked! No wonder she immediately coughed until her face turning red and making Axel panic! He approached Aura, offering a glass of water and gently patting her back."Sorry," mumbled Axel, met with a shake of Aura's head, still unable to speak. Her cough hadn't completely subsided, even though it was reduced to a small cough.Aura sighed, not expecting Axel to find out about her pregnancy so soon. Why was she always so careless? Was carelessness her last name?"That...""What other reason do you want to tell me?" Axel interrupted sharply, squinting his eyes, back in interrogation mode."I don't know how to say it, especially since I just found out this morning," replied Aura, bowing her head in guilt, admitting the truth.Aura pushed the bowl of porridge in front of her, losing her appetite to eat it. Her appetite had disappeared! Fortunately, the porridge was almost finished!Axel wanted to explode in
In Lionel's mind, memories were spinning of when he caught Aura and Axel living together, and Lionel didn't want to be fooled again. He didn't want to be deceived anymore. This time, Lionel had to be more vigilant so that Axel wouldn't have the chance to snatch Aura away from his side."Please answer my question!" Lionel urged. Aura looked at Axel with horror, afraid that he might lose control and say the wrong thing. Axel sighed, trying to calm his emotions. He didn't want to worsen the situation. He didn't want to make things difficult for Aura.All Axel wanted was for Lionel to leave Aura's house as soon as possible so that he could continue his conversation with Aura!"Nothing. I just asked about Miss Aura's activities today. And because Miss Aura is not feeling well, so I was forced to enter her room," Axel explained, finally allowing Aura to breathe a sigh of relief.Lionel looked at Axel suspiciously, convinced that the man was lying, but the problem was
A beautiful yet cunning woman was talking on the phone, giving orders to her subordinate on the other side. Orders that made her heart surge with excitement, eagerly anticipating tomorrow!"When do you want to release this news, Miss?""Tomorrow morning! This is a bomb that will definitely destroy that arrogant woman's career! The public will surely remember the scandal of that damn woman and her bodyguard from a month ago!" laughed the woman with a sly face, visibly eager to witness her colleague's downfall."Alright, Miss. I guarantee that tomorrow morning, the entire media will release it, and everyone will be in an uproar when they see this news!""Yes. I can't wait to see it happen!" the woman said while rubbing her hands together, a sign of her enthusiasm! She couldn't wait for tomorrow, which was sure to please her heart!'Tomorrow is the time for you to say goodbye to your career, Park Ae Ra!' she thought with satisfaction, with a smirk on her face.
