"Is all your stuff ready?"Edward asked once again, ensuring that Julia hadn't forgotten anything she needed for Milan and Rome."Yes, Darling. You don't need to worry. Clara helped me pack everything neatly and thoroughly. I've double-checked twice already. I don't think we've left anything behind."Julia then waved for Edward to come closer to her sitting on the edge of the bed. When he stood in front of her, she pulled him down until he was seated. In one swift move, Julia shifted positions and suddenly found herself straddling her husband."Julia!" Edward was certainly surprised. Though he knew Julia liked to act impulsively, he didn't anticipate his wife making him lie down like this."I'll definitely miss you a lot."Julia drew closer to his face. Instead of responding to Edward's protesting question due to his surprise, she whispered directly into his ear. She even kissed him, teasingly darting her wet tongue. This action sent shivers down Edward's spine. "What about you? Will
Originally, Edward had dreamed that while Julia went abroad, he could spend time with Bella. In fact, Edward had even gone as far as taking a 7-day leave to realize all the plans he had made as a form of retribution for the difficulties and lack of attention he had given to Bella lately.However, until today, on the third day of Julia's stay in Milan, Bella had been avoiding him instead. Not only could they not meet or sleep together, but even facing Edward seemed like an effort for her.Edward had tried many ways and efforts to melt Bella's heart. Even tonight, when he accompanied Bella to her prenatal check-up, Bella remained silent all the way home."Bella... how about we stop for dinner first? You must be hungry, right?"On the way home, Edward took the initiative to invite Bella to dinner. Instead of accepting his offer, Bella didn't respond at all, as if she had a toothache.Tired of Bella's rejection, when they arrived home and were on the second floor, Edward grabbed Bella's a
"Anyway, I'm sure Kairos didn't see me."Almost every day Julia recited that sentence. Still feeling anxious, afraid that the other day Kairos caught sight of her enjoying dinner with Santiago.For whatever reason, Julia knew Kairos was a leaky guy who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. If he found out she was cheating, it was certain Kairos would report it to Edward.No!That must not happen.However, Julia would try to cover up the affair scandal she had been carrying on with Edward. However, she did not want her marriage to fall apart.Again, even though she didn't love Edward, Julia needed the status of being the wife of a conglomerate. Moreover, there were many privileges and benefits she received as the wife and daughter-in-law of the Darkwood family."Darling... I miss you."Still in bed, Julia deliberately made a video call. She wanted to see what her husband was doing at home."Aren't you working? It's already past eight. Why are you still at home?"From the beginning
Since yesterday, Edward had been thinking about what to do to melt Bella's heart and make her no longer angry with him.On Samuel's advice, Edward even went so far as to go shopping to buy various items. From trivial things like dolls to expensive gifts that were countless in number.Every time Bella went to eat in the dining room, Edward tried to sneak into her room to place one gift after another that he had bought for her. Hoping Bella's heart would melt and she would forgive him.Edward: I'm sorry, Bella.Because talking directly or making phone calls was believed not to get a response, before going to sleep, Edward finally decided to send a short message to Bella. Hoping that his short message and his intention to reconcile would get a response from Bella.Edward: I beg you, forgive me. Tomorrow is your birthday, right? Aren't you interested in celebrating it with me? I have many plans that I have arranged for us to do together.Edward prayed to God. Really hoping that just one s
"Darn it! Where did this troublemaker go?"Edward grumbled irritably. He had been holding his phone while driving, muttering curses incessantly.Edward was extremely annoyed. He had been trying to call Kairos's phone number since earlier, but none of the calls yielded any results. He had no idea what business Kairos was involved in or where his friend was. It had been a week and he hadn't been able to reach him once."Just you wait. If he answers later, I'll scold this playboy crocodile!"Arriving at the hospital, Edward hurried to Samuel's room. It was his friend that he wanted to meet this afternoon. There was something he wanted to ask and convey right away."If you're just here to discuss the same thing as yesterday, I don't have time, Edward Darkwood."Edward's foot had just stepped into Samuel's practice room. Before he could even speak, his childhood friend gave him a warning."Oh my God, Samuel Knight. You're so mean. I haven't even said anything yet."Edward quickly pulled a
The day before, Edward did indeed consider carefully what Samuel had suggested. Edward mulled over and weighed carefully whom he should choose. If asked whether his love for Julia still existed, Edward did not deny it. However, he couldn't forget that he had once been so infatuated with that beautiful woman. However, gradually his feelings for Julia 'somewhat' faded. Especially when Bella entered his life and slowly captured his attention. Edward felt that his heart was starting to shift. And the amount of love he had once wholeheartedly given to Julia, was also redirected towards Bella. Edward didn't deny that Bella had managed to capture his heart. There was an undeniable comfort when he was with her. Even now, after a few days of misunderstanding, Edward felt both confused and empty. For anything, he longed for the beautiful moments he had previously spent with Bella. Confident and determined in his heart, Edward decided to make a choice. However, he still had to consider. Looki
"What's wrong?"Clara asked, wanting to know what Bella was thinking right now. Clara knew that Bella had been gloomy lately. But since last night, the woman whom she always watched over and monitored all her activities seemed gloomy and didn't speak at all.Now, even Bella just sat silently on the sofa in the room, lost in thought. Worried, Clara approached and sat next to her, intending to listen to what Bella might tell her."I'm angry."Clara chuckled then smiled. Her face was clearly teasing. Because they felt close, they were no longer awkward showing each other's expressions."At least it's far from the matter of Mr. Edward."Bella nodded. She sighed repeatedly as if tired. Tired of what had been happening lately.Just imagine, for over a month she had to restrain herself when Julia seemed to deliberately flaunt affection with Edward. Not to mention Edward's behavior, which sometimes seemed indecisive. And now, she had to be annoyed because Edward still hadn't given her any cer
Until the evening, she sneakily peeked from behind her room, waiting for Edward to come out. She also asked Clara if the man had eaten. At the same time, she wanted to ensure whether his condition had improved or not.In fact, out of curiosity, Bella deliberately put aside her ego. When Clara brought dinner, she purposely followed behind and waited outside Edward's room until shortly after Clara came out carrying a tray that was still intact."Edward still doesn't want to eat?"Clara shook her head."Don't you tell Edward that I cooked this food?"Now, Clara nodded."I already told him. He asked for you to deliver the food directly. Otherwise, he refused to have dinner.""Such a spoiled brat!""Come on, Bella. It's better if you just go see Mr. Edward. His condition is pitiful. I'm sure he's like this because he's worried about you. He'll be angry later. If he keeps refusing to eat, he could become dehydrated or even lose consciousness."Bella sighed. Reluctantly, she agreed. She took
