For heaven's sake, Bella and Edward's hearts nearly jumped out of their chests. Just as they were enjoying their kiss, even with their lips still touching, unexpectedly someone called out to them.Had their forbidden love affair involving the two of them finally been discovered? Fortunately, no. Or let's just say, not yet for now."Oh my God, Kairos!!!"Indeed, it was Kairos who suddenly appeared and called out to them. Perhaps Edward and Bella could breathe a little easier because it was Kairos who caught them kissing.However, they both agreed to feel surprised. How could Kairos be in Edward's house at this late hour? Since when and for what reason?"Why are you always like a ghost? What are you doing here in my house at this time of night?"Kairos sighed lazily. Folding his arms across his chest, he casually answered Edward's question."I came here to deliver your gun that you left at the shooting range.""Then, how did you manage to enter my house?"Kairos sighed in annoyance. He
Julia looked pouty. Apparently, she was upset because she realized that she had fallen asleep last night, and as a result, failed to make love with Edward.While applying makeup, she pouted. Occasionally grumbling, she directed her protests towards Edward."Yet, I was ready, smelled nice, and deliberately waited for you. But why didn't it work out in the end?"Edward, who was putting on a tie, chuckled briefly. Not laughing at Julia's complaints. Just finding it amusing because the previous night, his method had succeeded in making his wife fall asleep."Last night you looked so tired, Julia. I couldn't bring myself to wake you up.""Excuses! You know if you had woken me up, I would have been ready right away.""No need to rush. There's still plenty of time. Besides, you don't have any plans to travel again, do you?"The question Edward had just uttered actually held multiple meanings. Besides genuinely asking, he wanted to know Julia's plans for the near future without arousing suspi
"Clara, I'd like to talk to you."After exchanging messages with Edward and knowing that Clara wasn't busy, Bella called her assistant to have a one-on-one conversation in her room.Since Edward and Julia weren't around, Bella thought she could take advantage of this moment to clarify what Clara had done to her yesterday. Bella just wanted to make sure. Was Clara on her side, Julia's side, or perhaps neutral?"What do you want to ask?"In Bella's room, Clara was immediately invited to sit down. Seeing Bella's expression, Clara was sure that what she was about to discuss was serious."It's about what you did to me yesterday."Clara's brow furrowed."About yesterday?""Yes," Bella nodded. "How did you know that Mr. Edward was in my room?"Clara smiled."The night before, I accidentally saw him entering your room to help carry groceries. I noticed he was about to leave. But, you seemed to deliberately kiss him and then pull him back in, didn't you?""So, you saw it?"Clara nodded."Actua
"Julia, do you not suspect anything at all?"After Aaron showed the phone containing a photo of Edward walking in one of the shopping centers with Bella, Julia remained calm. She didn't get angry, annoyed, or even go berserk.Aaron certainly felt strange. Typically, a wife would get angry if her husband is out with or bothered by another woman. But Julia's reaction was unusual. Her response was even different from most women."Just imagine, your husband has gone out with another woman.""Let it be," Julia replied casually while getting dressed. "Besides, they were just walking together like normal people. When you took this photo, were Edward and Bella acting affectionate? Or at least holding hands like regular couples?"Aaron shook his head. As far as he observed when Edward was at the shopping center with Bella, they didn't engage in intimate activities typical of couples in relationships."They weren't holding hands. You know yourself that your husband is an important person. Surel
For over a month now, Bella has been feeling more irritated and frustrated. Just imagine, Julia, who usually travels a lot for shows either out of town or abroad, seems to be enjoying her time in London.What's more, when Brigitta or Bella would usually cook every morning, for the past month Julia has taken over all of Edward's needs. She prepares his meals and accompanies the handsome man for breakfast. She even chooses to leave the house 30 minutes after Edward goes to work. And unfortunately, Julia always comes home earlier before Edward arrives.In such situations, Bella feels completely powerless. Forget about expressing longing to sleep together or just hugging and kissing, they don't even find a chance to chat briefly."Why do you look so annoyed?" Clara, who had been cleaning and tidying up Bella's room, deliberately asked. Curious about what Bella might be thinking that her lips were pouting and her face was creased, exactly like someone feeling uneasy."I'm just annoyed, Cla
"I've noticed that lately you've been more quiet."At one of the coffee shops, after finishing a meeting, Edward and Kairos were seen sitting together to relax. A few minutes later, Samuel joined them."Maybe because I've been thinking too much about work," Edward replied casually."You're lying," Kairos countered. As close friends who had been buddies since birth, he certainly knew Edward's habits well. Just by looking at his facial expression, Kairos could tell when Edward had a lot on his mind. "We've known each other for more than just a year or two, Edward. I know what your personality is like. I'm sure you're quiet like this because you're thinking about the relationship between you, Julia, and Bella, right? No need to deny it."Like a psychic, Kairos's guess was 100% correct. Lately, Edward had indeed been thinking about the relationship he was currently in. There was uncertainty and dilemma. Edward was struggling to determine the steps he should take."What exactly are you tro
Can Bella be angry with Edward?But, indeed, that's what she's doing right now.Just imagine, when her longing peaks, hoping to hug or kiss even for a moment, Bella daringly contacts Edward.At first, she felt lucky that he responded. Since it was already late at night, Bella was convinced that Julia was already asleep, so she could meet secretly even for a short while.Edward agreed.The man promised for sure.However, after waiting for so long, Bella waited in vain for Edward to come. Eventually, she ended up falling asleep.Frustrated and considering that Edward couldn't keep his promise, Bella decided not to confront him for these two days. Ignoring all phone calls and short messages containing apologies sent by the man.Anyway, Bella is upset.Her mood has been bad for the past month, and this incident makes her even more annoyed.No need to be reminded, Bella knows her place isn't anyone to Edward. Not a girlfriend, let alone a lawful wife, which means she has no right to be ang
"Julia, tonight Kairos is hosting a farewell party before he leaves for Italy. He invited me, you, and Bella to attend tonight."Edward deliberately contacts Julia by phone. Yesterday, he forgot to inform his wife about the event Kairos would be hosting."A party? Tonight? Quite sudden. Besides, I might be coming home later than usual today.""So, you won't be able to make it?" Edward asks to confirm. Deep inside, he prays fervently that Julia won't be able to attend. That means he would have the chance to go with Bella."I might not make it in time. Besides, I'm not sure if Kairos really wants me to attend his party."Edward maintains his tone. He tries his best to act normal and not show any hint of joy because Julia seems to be unavailable to accompany him tonight."Well, alright then. I'll just relay Kairos's message.""Sure, Honey. Forgive me for not being able to accompany you. Anyway, I'll get back to work."After Julia hangs up, Edward decides to head home right away. He takes
