"You naughty child! You're finally back, huh? Do you still remember you have a Mom and Dad at home?"

Vean smiled slightly in response to Veronica's greeting. Although it was said with a pretend angry tone, he could see the longing in his mother's eyes, which were now starting to well up with tears. A longing that was mutual because Vean also felt the same way.

"I'm sorry for only being able to come back now," Vean said as he hugged Veronica and let her cry in his arms.

After satisfying her longing, their hug eventually loosened. Vean then hugged his twin brother, who was no less emotional than Veronica. Only after that did he briefly embrace his father and Keano, his brother-in-law.

"Let's go inside. We'll have breakfast together after all this time."

Veronica didn't want to be apart from her son for a second longer. She even volunteered to take care of the dishes that had been prepared on the dining table.

"You still like Indonesian food, right?" Frans asked playfully.

    "Yes, darling. Take anything you want."Laura narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Is there something you're hiding? Did you cheat on me in England, and that's why you're buying me anything I want as a way to make up for it?" "Seriously, what are you talking about? No, darling. No. Just ask Damian if you don't believe me."Vean's explanation had utterly failed to dispel Laura's suspicion. She was about to ask again, but Vean had managed to redirect her focus."Come on, hurry and choose. The best dresses might be taken by someone else.""Do you even realize how weird you've been acting since you returned?"Vean smiled mysteriously.** Laura thought that Vean's odd behavior would end there, but she was mistaken. That was just the beginning. The culmination of Vean's strangeness came when he insisted that she get a full-body makeover at the salon, from head to toe. He also insisted that she wear a dress of his choosing. A dress that, as it turned out, matched the shirt Vean had bought for

    "Oh god, your hand—" Laura tried to get up to approach Emily and make sure the waitress's injury wasn't too serious, but Vean's large hand was already restraining her."Let it be.""But, Vean..."Unwilling to prolong a conversation he deemed unimportant, Vean promptly led Laura away from the scene. As they passed by Emily, Vean muttered softly but with an undertone of severity, "Next time, if you're not good at your job, go sleep at home."** The much-awaited day had finally arrived. The hotel ballroom where Vean and Laura's wedding reception would take place was already bustling with wedding organizers and the Frans family's staff, ensuring that everything would go smoothly in the hours to come.Accompanied by Vanya, Vean prepared himself in a room that had been set aside for the groom. Meanwhile, according to her twin brother, Laura was getting ready in another room."I still can't believe Vean is getting married this fast," Vanya commented, her eyes not leaving her brother as he m

    "Why are you quiet? Mama is right, isn't she?! You couldn't even find a bride properly. If it weren't for Emily, what do you think our family's reputation would be, Vean?! Even this has already caused a scandal," Veronica said. The argument between mother and son prompted their father, Frans, to intervene so that the issue wouldn't escalate further."Vean, what Mama said is true. You should try to live this marriage first.""Dad, how can I live in a marriage with someone I don't love, Dad?""Then who are you going to blame?!" His father's question left Vean silent."That's enough, you can only stay silent. If there's an issue, let others handle it. Be mature. Papa and Mama want to rest," his father concluded, not allowing any further argument.Veronica and Frans then left Vean alone with Emily. The argument wouldn't end without someone mediating, and Frans was the only one who could do that."Dad... Ma..." Vean called out to his parents who left without looking back.qEmily remained s

    "It's not like that. But I'm sure Mr. Vean is uncomfortable with me here," Emily replied."Never mind. Just sleep on the sofa," Vean said, then went to the closet to change his clothes.Emily simply followed Vean's instructions and walked toward the sofa, carrying her bag."Aaaaaaa...." Emily suddenly screamed, startling Vean. She immediately turned her back to him."Why are you screaming like that? You scared me. Do you think we're in the jungle or something?" Vean responded angrily.Emily screamed because she saw Vean suddenly take off his clothes. Emily saw Vean who was shirtless. One side of his cheek turned red at the thought of something unthinkable. "You... why aren't you wearing clothes?!" said Emily who still didn't want to look at Vean. "You think I'm taking off my clothes to execute you. Don't be overly confident, I'm not lusting after your flat body. Besides, I can't sleep if I'm not wearing clothes." "But... but I'm here. Can't you put your clothes back on," said

    "Ugh..." Vean sighed in annoyance."Are you still going to be silent? Hurry up, what are you waiting for?" Vean said. Emily remained silent, not responding."Why are you still silent? Come on, hurry up, what are you waiting for?" Vean repeated, growing impatient."Um... I'm going, sir," Emily finally replied, nervously. She quickly grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom.A few moments later, Emily had finished showering but had forgotten to bring her change of clothes. Her previous outfit was now wet. She hesitated in the bathroom, unsure how to leave.Vean started banging on the bathroom door, making Emily even more uncertain about how to exit."Emily, what are you doing? Come out! I know my bathroom is comfortable, but it doesn't mean you can sleep in my bathroom," Vean said."Um... yes, just a moment, sir," Emily replied, still unsure how to leave."Um... Mr. Vean...""What? Come out! I need to shower!" Vean said impatiently."Um, I'm confused about how to go out since I fo

    The next day, they were ready to leave for the airport. Veronica and Frans accompanied them."Vean, did you forget anything?" Alden asked."No, Dad." Vean placed his luggage in the car, as did Emily. After that, they headed to the airport."Vean, once you arrive in England, will you start working immediately?" Frans inquired, knowing that his son had a demanding job."Um, not sure yet, Dad. If it's urgent, I'll start right away," Vean replied."Don't forget to eat and get enough rest," his father advised him."Yes, Dad," Vean answered. The car ride felt long to Emily, who didn't say much, especially since she was sitting next to Vean.***A little while later, they arrived at the airport. Their luggage was unloaded with the help of their private driver. Emily, who was seeing an airport of this size for the first time, was amazed. It was so different from train stations or terminals she was used to, which were not as grand."Oh..." Emily accidentally bumped into someone while looking a

    "Sigh, can't I ask anything?" Emily said, a bit disheartened."It's not wrong to ask, but your questions are like a child's. Anyway, sleep so you won't keep bothering me," Vean said, trying to close his eyes."Sir..." Emily called again. Vean sighed, "What is it now, Emily? Can't you let me sleep? I really want to sleep," Vean replied."Um... I need to use the restroom, Sir," Emily said."Oh my God, we've just taken off. Why didn't you go earlier?" Vean asked in frustration."Can't you use the restroom on the plane?" Emily asked while holding her stomach, feeling the urgency to go."Sigh... just go to the back, there'll be a flight attendant there," Vean said."Can't you escort me, Sir? I'm scared," Emily continued to persuade Vean to accompany her. She was too embarrassed to go alone since it was her first time flying, and her nervousness had caused her to act oddly."Go by yourself, I want to sleep," Vean replied.Emily sighed and chose to hold it in.Vean, who pretended to sleep, k

    "Do you still think about your ex-girlfriend?" Emily asked curiously.Vean fell silent. The image of Laura couldn't just disappear from his mind. The disappointment of being left behind still lingered deep in his heart, making him unable to forget her anytime soon.But Vean had promised to change. He had his own life now. And to redeem his wrongdoing, he would take responsibility for Emily and the child she was carrying."Love that brings pain is difficult to forget. But I will learn to cherish the true love that's right in front of me," Vean said with a smile.Emily smiled back. She wasn't sure if Vean's words could be trusted, but one thing was clear: when her husband gently held her hand, she tried to believe that hope was real.***Emily was currently on a plane to England with Vean. She stroked her growing belly, now in its fourth month of pregnancy. Many of her clothes didn't fit anymore, so Vean had bought her plenty of maternity clothes."I have a good doctor contact in Englan

    "This is good news. Congratulations, Mrs. Emily. You have tested positive for pregnancy," Dr. Hans said with a delighted expression as he shared the results of Emily's recent tests.Emily's eyes widened in shock upon hearing that she was pregnant. She gently caressed her slightly bulging belly. Emily had thought that her recent bloating was due to overeating, but it seemed that her distended stomach was caused by something else entirely – a growing baby."Hmm, if I may ask, Mrs. Emily, do you have a husband?" Dr. Hans inquired."Yes, of course, but my husband is currently in England," Veronica replied."Well, he should be informed about this wonderful news as soon as possible. I understand how difficult long-distance marriage can be. It must be torturous not being able to be with your soulmate. I experienced it when I was a young doctor."Emily remained silent. She was truly bewildered about what to do next. Legally, there was no issue with her being pregnant by her legitimate husband

    "Hmm, are you happy sitting with me now?" Vean asked, leaning closer to Emily.Emily slightly shifted her body when Vean got a bit closer. Although they were husband and wife, Emily couldn't expect Vean to touch her like a husband would his wife. Especially here, Emily was just a replacement wife."Um, well..." Emily hesitated to answer.If asked if she was happy, she certainly was. But on the other hand, Emily didn't like her current situation. She would rather be alone than with a man who was heavily intoxicated."You know, Laura always liked sitting alone with me. Especially when I started playing with her hair..." Vean reached out his hand and started twirling Emily's hair with his index finger.Emily's blood seemed to rush as a result of Vean's actions. Especially when he brought his face closer, slowly kissing her hair."Oh my goodness! Am I dreaming right now?" Emily whispered in her heart, her heart pounding wildly. She had never been treated like this before, and that's why s

    Vean knew that in the eyes of others, he might seem like a frustrated man who was upset about failing to marry his girlfriend, Laura. Vean was just an ordinary guy. He longed to be happy with Laura. When that couldn't happen, how could he not be disappointed?And now, he had to marry another woman, Emily. Vean didn't know what Emily's feelings were, but he honestly felt foolish about the whole situation.What was on Vean's mind right now was the profound sadness he couldn't overcome. He just wanted to be happy with Laura.Vean's eyes closed. His memories went back to the past, when he and Laura were still together and planning to live together forever..."I thought, marriage isn't for everyone," Vean said while stroking Laura's hair."Why do you think that?" Laura asked curiously."Well, I've seen many celebrities who don't consider marriage a sacred thing. They get married, divorced, just like changing clothes.""Don't you like their behavior?""It's not that I don't like it. I can't
