"Are you feeling jealous because someone is marrying your best friend? Are you afraid Daisy will take him from you?"Sean, who was currently sitting on the balcony of the suite room with Zoey—he shouldn't be using one of the best rooms in the Golden Tree to be alone with his girlfriend at work hours like this—clicked his tongue after hearing the question Zoey threw at him."Why should I be jealous about that? I actually feel really sorry for Daisy. She's so young and innocent, wouldn't it be too rash to marry a jerk like River?" asked Sean with emotion."I don't know how River treats other people, but I know he always treats Daisy very well. He's never been a jerk to Daisy." Zoey countered Sean's words with words that made the man sigh. Realized that what Zoey said was true."But still he is too much! Why can't that idiot read the situation? The hotel's current situation is still unstable, why is he itching to get married so badly? Is he going to die if he doesn't get married next mon
"Eat this! I bought your favorites."Eric, watching TV in the living room, turned his gaze to the pizza box Rion had just thrown on the table. He then looked at Rion, who was now sitting next to him, took the remote from his hand, and changed the channel to a baseball match broadcast."Have you cashed the check yet?" Eric asked."I should have come home sooner. Looks like I've missed the important part," Rion muttered. It seems very clear that, at this time, he is ignoring Eric because he doesn't want to answer the questions the man gave him."Rion!" But Eric didn't want to give up. He pulled Rion's arm, forcing the man to be attracted. Then with an expectant look, he asked, "You already cashed it, right?"Rion didn't answer immediately and just stared at Eric deeply, making his little brother feel even more desperate because it felt like he had already got the answer from how Rion saw him."Aren't you cashed it?" Eric asked in a low voice, hoping that the reality wasn't as he thought
"Oh, since when did it get this dark?" muttered River as he looked away from his computer and realized that the sky from his window had turned dark."Then I should work on it more quickly. Daisy must have been waiting for me…"River stopped muttering and blinked in surprise when he saw Daisy's figure lying on the sofa. He blinked his eyes again, then winced softly when he remembered that Daisy had been waiting for him to finish his work. River regretted being too immersed in his work to forget Daisy's presence at that place.Having found something more important than his job, River immediately turned off his computer without wasting any more time. He then moved toward Daisy, kneeling with one foot in front of her sleeping lover."She must be really bored waiting for me to fall asleep at work like this," thought River, brushing aside the strands of hair that fell on Daisy's face.River then brought his face closer to Daisy's, making the tip of his nose touch the tip of her nose. Then g
"Money... This is real money!" Eric muttered with his eyes widened in disbelief when he saw the contents of Andrew's two bags.Eric took several piles of money with both hands, then showed it to Rion, who was standing behind him while folding his hands in front of his chest. "Look at this! This bag is full of money!"Rion only glanced at the money before shifting his gaze to Andrew. After putting the bag filled with money on the table, Andrew went to the kitchen to find food. And now he is watching TV while enjoying the pizza that Eric deliberately left to eat tomorrow."What's this?" he asked. But Andrew was too focused on the wrestling event he was watching and completely ignored Rion's question."I asked you, dammit!" And Andrew only turned his eyes on Rion after the man kicked the table in front of him, making it hit his leg."What's this?" Andrew repeated the question Rion previously asked him while putting his remaining bit of pizza back in its place. He then kicked back at the
"Hey, come on! His plane hasn't even landed yet, why are you waiting for a call from him now?" Zoey spoke while snatching the phone from Daisy's hand and placing it on the table, apparently too fed up with her best friend's behavior.Daisy took a deep breath and then helplessly put her head on the table. It makes Zoey do the same thing because Daisy's negative energy also rubs off on her."He didn't run away to leave you, but there really is something urgent with his work. Why do you look so frustrated as if your fiance left you on the run?" Zoey asked while looking at Daisy, who was closing her eyes."You can say that because you can still meet your boyfriend before he leaves. I haven't seen River since yesterday and now I don't know when he'll be back!" grunted Daisy as she opened her eyes and glared at Zoey in annoyance."That's true. This is the first time you two have split up like this, right?" asked Zoey, who was nodded by Daisy, whose face was already sullen."That's good. Cou
"Kyaaaaa!"River, pounding on the door, immediately stopped his action when suddenly a scream was heard inside the room, which made his body flinch in surprise. He put his ear to the door, trying to hear more clearly what was happening inside, when suddenly the door opened and made his leaning body fall to the ground."Se—""Kyaaaaa!"River blinked his eyes, surprised because, again, Sean screamed before he even finished saying the man's name. He turned his head to Sean, looking surprised to see his secretary running towards him, screaming with his whole face looking red up to his ears.River got up from his seat and looked into the room—between curiosity and fear at the thought of what had made Sean like that. Because judging from the man's expression and screams, Sean would make other people think that he had seen a zombie in the most luxurious room in the Golden Tree Hotel Paris.River took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before stepping into the room, where his curiosity overcame
"Are you asleep?" River asked as he climbed onto the bed, peeking at Daisy, lying beside him with her back and the blanket covering her whole body to her head."Daisy?" River tried to open Daisy's blanket, but the woman held it back. River smiled a little when he realized his beloved woman was sulking."It doesn't matter. You must be very tired after a long flight. Have a good sleep and sweet dreams." River spoke softly while stroking Daisy's head before landing a kiss there—on the white blanket that covered Daisy's head.River fixed his lying position and then covered his body. And he was made to smile again when the pile of blankets next to him moved, followed by a hand hugging his waist.Daisy may have been sulking at him, but she still misses him. And River, who realized this, let Daisy hug him while hiding under the covers, and he returned Daisy's hug by stroking her tiny back."Does your stomach hurt?" River asked in a hushed voice, but it was enough to make Daisy's heart flutte
"Are you trying to make fun of me?" Daisy asked after reading the letter Zoey gave her. "Why do you have to get pregnant right after I embarrassed myself in front of River because I misunderstood pregnancy?""You think pregnancy is that simple that I can do it just to make fun of you, huh?" Zoey asked back angrily while snatching her pregnancy certificate from Daisy's hand.Zoey glanced quickly at the letter, and the words 'positively pregnant' caught her eyes, making her sigh in annoyance. "Don't tell this to Sean. I'll tell him if the results are negative," she pleaded, which made Daisy look at her in confusion."Do you want to give Sean a surprise?" asked Daisy, who was immediately denied with a shake by Zoey."I'll say if the test results are negative, so I can quietly get rid of this baby," Zoey said, instantly making Daisy's eyes widen in disbelief."Getting rid of it? You want to kill it?" Daisy asked in a judgmental tone."If you say I killed it, it feels very cruel. My pregna
"Argh! The dress is not fit!" "No, it should fit. I'll hold my breath. Lift up the zipper in one pull. One, two, hmmph!" Zoey groaned in annoyance when Daisy couldn't successfully zip her dress. She turned her body, staring fiercely at her best friend, who wore a wedding dress with a veil. "Can't you do it right? Is it that hard to get the zippers on? If my hand reaches, I'll not ask for your help!" she grumbled. "Gosh, why are you nagging me?" Daisy put her hands on her hips, annoyed at Zoey, who had acted like a stepmother ever since. "It's my wedding day, and you're my bridesmaid. But why have I been serving you since earlier, huh?!" Hearing Daisy nagging her back, Zoey's annoyance instantly turned into sadness. "So you're going to let me go to the ballroom and meet everyone with this unzipped zipper?" Zoey asked with her teary eyes, making Daisy panic, considering how long she had to dress up and her wedding might have to be postponed if her bridesmaid, who suffered from acute
'I've prepared breakfast for you, so make sure you eat it. Remember to drink milk too. Call me after you wake up because now I miss you. See you.'"Wow..." Daisy muttered in amazement after reading the paper with Sean's handwriting. She then turned her head to Zoey, who was lying on her side on the couch, watching cartoons while munching on the sandwich Sean had prepared for her. "It feels like it hasn't been long since you envied me because River left me a handwritten note before leaving for work. Now you must be happy that Sean did the same.”"Happy, you said? I feel even more burdened if he is like this!" complained Zoey. "I've made up my mind to abort this baby. Even though Sean knew about it, and I knew he was saddened by this decision, I still kept my determination to abort this baby. But because of all his attitude to my pregnancy..."Zoey hung her words as she recalled the sweet attitude Sean had shown her in the past week since the man learned about her pregnancy and her deci
"Why does it feel like Monday is coming longer than usual? I can't wait to end this suffering soon."Zoey walked out of the bathroom grumblingly. After enjoying the bridal shower with Daisy last night, Zoey returned to Sean's house this morning. But not 10 minutes since she arrived at this house, her morning sickness attacked her again and made her feel like the most miserable person in this world."Ah, damn! Aw! Aargh, why is this here?"Zoey, who was standing in front of the refrigerator to get drinking water, suddenly turned her head to the noise that suddenly broke the silence in the house. She saw Sean walking hastily, wearing a shirt with buttons arranged carelessly so that it looked crooked, and his black hair was messy. Stepping towards her with staggered steps and bumping into a table or chair, he passed several times."Oh... Oh! Good morning!" Sean greeted Zoey with a big smile as he stood before her before advancing his body to land a peck on her girlfriend's lips.Zoey loo
"You must be very happy because your brother will be the best man at your wedding. You must—""No, Sean! For God's sake, Rion will never be the best man at my wedding!" River almost screamed when he interrupted Sean's words as his foot slammed on the brakes in front of the red traffic light line.They had gone halfway home with Sean, who kept grumbling about Rion, who would be the best man at River's wedding, making River's ears hot because he had to hear that chatter along the way."He just teased you. Because you always overreact around him, he comes to think of you as a fun toy and plays tricks on you like this. Does it make sense for him to be my best man?" River, who had been silent all along, finally turned his body towards Sean to refute the man's accusations while waiting for the traffic light to turn green."How come that doesn't make any sense? I can see that your relationship is so warm that you can laugh because of the jokes that aren't funny at all!" Sean snapped, making
"Drink this. This can help reduce your nausea," Sean said while placing a glass of milk in front of Zoey.Zoey stared at the milk. Sean came home with a can of pregnancy milk and made it for her. That means Sean has decided to end the lie she created when he comes home early."Why?" Zoey asked, looking up from the milk in front of her to look directly at Sean, who was now setting the food he bought on a plate. "Why did you-""In this situation, I'm the one who should be asking why, Zoey," Sean cut in. His words sounded as gentle as usual, but the seriousness that radiated from his eyes inevitably made Zoey's heart flutter."But as I said before, I won't ask anything and will only listen if you're willing to tell me your reasons. So that way, I won't drown in my own prejudices," added Sean.Sean then placed a plate of food in front of Zoey. "Eat. Even if it's a little and you feel nauseous, you must force yourself to fill your stomach. If your stomach is empty like this, you should go
"Dammit! He's always on his own! Just watch, if he continues like this, it's not Rion who will dethrone him again but myself!"Sean stepped out of the meeting room, grumbling, looking really annoyed that River missed work, making him take on the responsibility of chairing the meeting in his stead."It must be so much fun being the boss. He could skip work as he pleased and would later take time off for his wedding. In my next life, I'll become rich and make him my slave. I'll pay back all the shit he gave me a million times worse!"Sean was still grumbling even though he had now entered the elevator. But the man quickly erased the annoyed expression on his face and replaced it with a sweet smile when a woman entered the elevator."Good morning Mr. Marsh," said the woman."Good morning," Sean replied. His gaze shifted to the box that the woman was carrying. "Why are you packing your things? Are you changing departments?""This is my last day of work. I have resigned," the woman replied
"You were the one who accompanied Zoey to check the womb, right? Can you be honest about why Zoey lied and chose to have an abortion even though I said I would be responsible for her?" Daisy's eyes suddenly widened. Couldn't help but feel surprised when she heard a question Sean casually threw at her like this. "Does Zoey not love me?" Sean asked again because after waiting for a while, Daisy still didn't give him an answer. "Has she been forced to date me just because—" "She loves you! She said it herself, and I guarantee she couldn't be lying about it!" Daisy quickly interrupted Sean, not wanting him to be led astray by his bad thoughts of Zoey. "Then why should she do this? If we love each other and I am willing to take responsibility for her pregnancy, why did she lie and abort our baby?" Sean asked, sounding so desperate it made Daisy feel sorry for him. "Shouldn't you be asking Zoey this directly?" Daisy spoke in a lower voice than before, but her sympathy could be heard cle
"Is she not home? Why is it so quiet?" muttered Sean as he entered his house.Sean, who had previously been very excited when he entered his home area because he couldn't wait to meet Zoey soon, became a bit lazy when he found his house deserted. He stepped into his room while unbuttoning his shirt one by one, wondering where Zoey had gone when then a big smile appeared on his face when he found Zoey sleeping in their room."She's nap like a baby," Sean muttered as he gingerly climbed onto the bed. "She must have overslept while playing on her phone..."Sean hung his words, and the smile that adorned his face suddenly disappeared when he took the phone from Zoey's left hand and accidentally saw the message notification. He caught one word that immediately made his heart beat fast, but he still dared to see the entire message.'Your abortion schedule is next Monday, 2pm. Make sure you take care of your health until it's time to have an abortion. Thank You.'Sean's eyes that read the me
"Are you feeling better now?" asked Daisy after Zoey, who returned from the toilet and sat down beside her."No," Zoey said, closing her eyes. "I'm tired and sleepy. I want to sleep.""Yes, sleep. I will-"Daisy had no time to finish her sentence when suddenly Zoey got up from her seat and rushed back to the toilet while covering her mouth with her palm."She seems really really tormented," Daisy muttered under her breath. It hadn't been an hour since the plane had taken off, but Zoey had gone to the bathroom countless times due to nausea. Made Daisy very worried thinking about how her best friend had to survive the flight, which took almost eleven hours.Daisy then turned her gaze to the window on her left side. And for some reason, looking at the sight of the town that looked so small far below made her think of River.Actually, it wasn't just the view she saw from the window, whenever she was alone like this, Daisy would always think about River. Even though they had only separated
