I woke up Noah and smiled widely at him. “Good morning! Happy birthday, baby!” I greeted him after showering him with kisses. He giggles, and I can’t help but shower him with more kisses.
“Alright! That’s enough. It’s my turn!” We stopped and looked at Maxwell. He is holding a big gift box, and Noah shrieks in excitement. “Happy birthday, son. I am wishing you good health and more birthdays to come.” Maxwell said as he planted a kiss on Noah’s forehead.
“Mommy, Daddy, I love you both so much!” He said before laughing. Maxwell and I looked at each other with a wide smile. My heart melts to the nth time because of Noah.
Maxwell gives him our gift, and he excitedly opens it. “Wow! It’s a Soccer uniform and a new ball?! Awesome!” He exclaimed, and we knew he would react like this. Maxwell sat on Noah’s bed and pulled Noah closer to him.
N O E L L E“I hate you, Noelle!” Alyssa looks at me furiously. I look over my shoulder to face her.“Why did I do this time?” I asked innocently. We changed our clothes before jumping to the pool.“Your body doesn’t change at all! You are still sexy! Did you really give birth to Noah in that body?!” She shouted in annoyance, and I laughed at her.“Is my body bothering you so much? Would you like me to change?” I asked, teasing her.“No! At least I want Maxwell to be happy while fantasizing about your body!” She said, and I looked at her in shock.“Alyssa! You and your mouth!” I shouted at her.“What? Come on, Elle. Give him a little surprise.” She said before winking at me. I shake my head in disbelief. Alyssa knows how to annoy the hell out of me. I grabbed my see-through robe and wore it.“Maxwell has needs
L E V I“Are you fucking serious, man?” Ian, one of my friends, asked as we headed back to our table near the pool.Hughes embarrassed me in front of my friends and Noelle. I won’t let him pass the next time he does that to me. Hughes is clearly using my past against me. I will make things clear to Noelle one day, and for sure, Noelle will forgive me.“I couldn’t believe she’s Noelle that you were talking about,” Tom said.Ian gave us a bottle of beer. “Your ex-fiancée is smoking hot, dude.” Jet exclaimed, and I quickly shot him a death glare. “Oh, come on, dude. I am complimenting your ex-fiancée.” He said as he chuckled. Remembering Noelle's look earlier makes me feel strange. I think something has changed in her body. She’s sexier now than before. Her swimsuits look hot on her. It emphasizes all her sexy features, and any man who can see him will defi
N O E L L EAfter my duty, I saw Doctor Young talking to our resident doctors in the hallway. “Noelle,” She called me, and I walked towards her. “Are you free?” She asked while smiling.Maxwell told me to wait for him in the coffee shop across the street. His duty will end in an hour. “I will have some coffee before going home. Would you like to join me?” I invited her, and she nodded while smiling.We sat on the couch near the glass window. She ordered iced espresso while I ordered a hot mocha. “So, what would you like to know about the CEO?” I asked while smiling at her.She looks at me in shock, and I chuckle at her reaction. “How did you know it was the reason why I asked if you were free?” She asked.“It’s a wild guess. I also told you that I would tell you everything about him after duty, right?”“Yes. I am hoping for that, so why I am
N O E L L EI knocked on Levi’s office three times. “Come in.” He said in a deep voice. I breathed out first before opening the door.I came in and walked until I reached the front of his table. “You called for me, sir?” I asked.He looks at me before resting his back on his swivel chair. He sighs in frustration before pinching the bridge of his nose. He looks mad, and I think I am the reason. “I was checking all the doctors’ 201 files, and I found out that you and Hughes are living in the same house?!” He yelled, and I got nervous all of a sudden.Why did he check the employees' 201 files? Is he the HR now? Change of career? The hell with this guy.I breathed out to calm myself down. “I believe our CEO has no right to ask why his employees are cohabitating under the same roof. It’s too personal, sir.” I said as I swallowed the lump in my throat.
L E V II called my friends to invite them to drink, but only Ian and Jet were available. We are in a high-end bar a few blocks away from the hospital. We are sitting at the bar while drinking.“What the fuck, man?!” Ian exclaimed. I told them the story about the case I filed against Noelle’s dad. My lawyer confirmed it to me. Seven years ago, I called him and instructed him to file the case. “Why did you do that!?” Ian added.I shake my head before sipping my drink. “I have no idea, Ian. I can’t remember anything I did that day.”“So, you are the reason why Noelle’s dad died?” Jet asked. It is what I suspect. I think I am the reason behind his death.The fact that I filed a case against the man I adore is enough for me to feel terrible. “I don’t know,” I answered.“Why don’t you ask Noelle about it?” Jet asked. “Wait,
N O E L L EI was sitting on the wooden chair in the garden when Maxwell finally arrived with a cup of coffee. We had our lunch together, and we decided to hang out here for a while until our break time ended.I am observing Levi and Doctor Young, who are talking on the second floor of the building. I can see them from the garden, and I think they are talking about a serious matter. “What is it?” Maxwell followed my gaze, and his eyebrows knitted after seeing where I was looking at. “I’ve been seeing them together lately.” He said, and I nodded.“I think Levi is distancing himself from me,” I announced, and Maxwell looked at me with disbelief. I chuckled at his reaction. “He was trying to avoid me these past few weeks, and I think it is because of dad,” I explained.“What do you mean?” He suddenly seemed nervous.I pat his shoulder while shaking my head. “It st
N O E L L E“Should I really go? I prefer eating dinner with you and Noah.” I groaned after complaining about Doctor Young’s invitation to dine out this evening. The whole team of the neurosurgery department will come.“Come on, Elle. You have to go out and have fun once in a while.” Maxwell said. “I will wait for you to go home. I’ll be here in the hospital until nine in the evening, so don’t worry about me.”“Noah will wait for us. He would probably be asleep once we got home.”“I’ll call mom to inform Noah about us coming home late. He will understand, Elle.” He said as he fixed my loose hair strands. “Loosen up, Elle. It won’t make you less a mother if you attend some team dinner out.” He said, and I sighed in frustration.“Okay. I’ll go.” I said, and he nodded.It’s Friday night, and all of us in
N O E L L ENoah is ready to go to his first match. He is very enthusiastic about it. I don’t even know if he slept well last night. Maxwell and I are wearing the same jersey shirt that Noah is wearing. “Let’s go, Hughes team!” Maxwell shouted, and I chuckled. Our jerseys have big HUGHES at the back, and I find it cute.“Let’s take a picture before heading out,” I said, and mom took the picture for us. Mom also joined us in a picture, and I took several shots. Maxwell posted it in his Instagram account with a caption, my son’s first soccer match. He is such a proud dad.The stadium is packed with the audience when we get there. “Good luck, baby. Do your best!” I said before kissing his forehead, and he smiled at me.“Do your best and have fun, son. I love you!” Maxwell said before pulling Noah into a hug.“I love you too, both!” He said before runni
