The door opened just as William was about to answer Baron's question. Amanda appeared from behind the door. "Is there a problem? Why did you come at night? " Amanda opened the door wide for William to enter the house.William turned to Amanda, then said, "Yes, there is something I want to talk to you about, but tomorrow, it's better now you sleep again. It's not that important anyway.""I'm not asleep yet," Amanda replied, "come on, come in first! I'll make some coffee for you."Amanda was sure William had some important news to tell her. She already knew the man's habit of not wanting to procrastinate if there was a problem."No need, you go to bed," William said, "sorry for disturbing you."For him, this was very important, but not for Amanda. William also hesitated to say it because he was worried that Amanda would think he favoured the boss more. But he couldn't bear to see his boss and Alana, who seemed to love each other.Baron did not make any comments. He only watched William
Without wasting any time, Sonya immediately called her future in-laws to report what she had just seen. However, many times she yelled, there was no answer. Then she called Henry's parents' house."Hello, it's me, Sonya," said the woman who always wore revealing clothes. To be precise, she pretended to be friendly. "Is Mrs. Vena home?""Yes, Miss," said the servant from the other end of the line."Can I talk to her?" Again, Sonya pretended to be friendly. "I have something important to tell you. I've been calling her, but her cell phone is off.""Yes, Miss, just a moment."A servant came to Vena on the sofa. She told her mistress that there was a call for her."Who's calling?" asked Vena curtly. "Miss Sonya, ma'am." The maid stood in front of Vena with her head down and her hand outstretched to give the phone to her mistress.Vena immediately received a phone call from her future daughter-in-law. "Hi, Sonya," greeted Vena, and in just a few seconds, her tone of voice changed to a mor
'If that happens, you will regret it for the rest of your lives. Your successor will die at the hands of her own grandmother. It's not just Henry I'm getting; it's everything you have, Mrs Vena,' Sonya said to herself, 'I can't wait to see the destruction of the Oeberon family.'For years, she had held a grudge against the Oeberon family. Sonya's arrival at the family was not accidental. She had planned everything several years ago.Sonya took Mrs. Vena's hand with a smile. "Thank you for your support, Auntie. I will be the happiest daughter-in-law when I become your daughter-in-law.""You are a dream daughter-in-law, dear." Mrs. Vena caressed the sly woman's face. "Thank you for today."Mrs. Vena loved Sonya even more. Not only was she beautiful, but the young woman was the heiress of a prominent conglomerate family in the city. That was the only reason she had the heart to slander her poor daughter-in-law."You're welcome, Auntie." Sonya smiled as she stretched her muscles. "It's bee
His smile began to grow as he was utterly unmistakable. "I never thought I'd see you again, Amanda," Henry murmured enthusiastically. Henry began to pull the car over as if forgetting his original purpose. The man exited the vehicle and intended to approach his ex-wife. He forgot that he was running out of time. "Amanda!" Henry called out. He didn't even hesitate to run to get closer to the woman he missed so much. His love for her had never changed, but now he was more eager to regain his ex-wife's love. It wasn't like before when he was resigned to the situation. The summoned woman turned her head. Seeing who had come made her face suddenly anxious. She looked around nervously before looking back at Henry with a grimacing smile. 'What about this? I can't hide. There's no way I'm going to run away, he's going to chase me even more,' Amanda said to herself as she stood staring at her ex-husband as he approached. "Henry," Amanda greeted softly. "Hi, Amanda. Long time no see,
"Are you okay?" asked Amanda frantically. Looking worried, She immediately helped Henry sit up when she saw Henry sighing in pain.The people around began to gather due to the incident; some swearing and trying to chase the car that had hit them."My body feels crushed," Henry said honestly, his body aching from hitting the road divider and hitting the sidewalk to protect Amanda's body."Oh my God... you're bleeding!" Amanda squealed when she saw the blood on her hand. Amanda opened Henry's coat. "Oh my God, there's so much blood. You hold on. We're going to the hospital right now."Henry nodded and smiled happily as he saw Amanda worried about him. Then, he supported his injured hand. Henry exerted all his strength to stand up, but it seemed his leg was making him unable to get up. Again, Henry sighed in pain as he fell back down."Sir, can you help me? Please take us to the hospital!" Amanda pleaded with the man standing behind Henry."The hospital is too far. There's a clinic over
Amanda caught her breath, trying to get a grip on herself. "It's too late. I hope you don't bring up our past again." Amanda got up from her seat. "I need to go to the bathroom first." "I'll do anything as long as you come back to me," Henry replied, but Amanda didn't respond. She continued to walk out of her ex-husband's treatment room.Amanda quickened her pace towards the bathroom. No, Amanda didn't want to go there. She sought an excuse not to be with Henry for too long. She stopped at a deserted hallway. Only a few people were passing by and then leaving. Amanda leaned one shoulder against the cold hospital wall. Amanda placed one palm on her chest, catching her breath slowly until her heart rate returned to normal. She stood in the hallway for a long time. Amanda pushed her hair behind her back. Once again, Amanda controlled her breathing until she was completely calm. 'Do I still love him? Why am I so nervous when he says that?' Amanda wondered in her heart.Amanda took anot
"Henry's boss is meeting with Mr. Philips," William said, trying to convince Mrs. Vena. "Why don't you come with Henry?" Mrs Vena narrowed her eyes; she couldn't believe what her son's assistant was saying. "Don't you always go wherever he goes?""Mr. Philips suddenly changed the meeting schedule because he is returning to his country. That's why he chose a meeting place close to his home." William answered confidently, even though he didn't know the real reason. "If you don't believe me, please check with his assistant. I'll give you his contact number if you want.""No need!" Mrs. Vena immediately rushed away, leaving William and the CEO's secretary behind."Geez, Boss. It's a good thing you came." Tiara squatted down. "Sorry, Boss, my legs are fragile. She had been feeling agitated all day, and only now could she sigh with relief after Mrs. Vena left."Tiara, clear all of Boss Henry's schedule today. If there's anything important, you call me." William looked at the beautiful woma
William briefly heard the conversation, then decided to enter his boss's treatment room after knocking on the door.Henry's face changed in a matter of seconds. He didn't like the idea of anyone interrupting his time with Amanda, including William, his loyal assistant. "Boss." William nodded respectfully to his boss. Seeing that William had arrived, Amanda breathed a sigh of relief only then. William had come at the right time. Amanda took advantage of the opportunity. "Since there's already someone looking after you, I'll take my leave," Amanda said without further ado. She stood up and walked away before Henry could stop her."Amanda ...." Henry was about to grab his ex-wife's hand but couldn't reach her. She was already far away from the bed he was sleeping on.Amanda turned to Henry. She murmured, "Once again, thank you for helping me. I wish you a speedy recovery." Amanda should have given Henry a chance to speak. She quickened her pace to get out of the room.William's arriv
Mrs. Vena even knelt in front of Amanda. She spoke in a hoarse voice while looking down. "Amanda, please forgive me. I regret planning to take Alan and Alana from you. I realize your relationship with my grandson is important, which I never felt before."Amanda was stunned to hear Mrs. Vena's apology. She never expected that Mrs. Vena would kneel before her and apologize so sincerely. Her heart was filled with emotion and began to soften."I have seen your influence on my grandchild's life. I realize my mistake and promise not to separate you from them. You are a great mother, and my grandchildren need you. I ask that you forgive me."Amanda felt moved and wanted to give Mrs. Vena a second chance. She could see the genuine change in the woman's heart."Mrs. Vena," said Amanda understandingly, "I appreciate your apology. I also hope that we can improve our relationship in the future. Wake up!"Amanda stood up and helped her ex-in-law to get up. Even though the woman had done a lot of w
In a quiet living room, Henry sat on the sofa with a tense face and sharp eyes, looking at his mother. Beside him was Amanda."Why don't you bring my grandchildren?" Mrs. Vena asked, pretending to be excellent."Mom, we decided to get married again." Amanda got straight to the point. "I hope Mother will approve of us."Mrs. Vena was silent; she couldn't say a word. Even though Amanda had given birth to two grandchildren for her, she didn't want Amanda to be her second daughter-in-law because she didn't want to have a poor daughter-in-law.Henry smiled sarcastically, seeing his mother just silent and without saying a single word. "As I thought, Mom was nice to Amanda and just wanted to make her miserable."Amanda held Henry's hand so that the man wouldn't continue what he was saying."Amanda, we were fooled by this old woman. Do you still believe her?" Henry started the conversation in a firm tone."I'm sure Mom has changed, especially now that we have Alan and Alana. I'm sure your gue
Henry stood in front of Amanda. Expectant gazes turned to Amanda, who was sitting in front of him. Silence immediately enveloped the room; only the sound of the clock ticking on the wall could be heard in the ears of the four of them."It's been a long time since we lived apart, Amanda," Henry said tremblingly, trying to suppress his nervousness. "We've been through a lot together, and honestly, I can't live without you."Even though he felt nervous, Henry dared to propose to his ex-wife again in front of his assistant and secretary."We have been apart for so long, but my love for you has never changed. Even though you once hurt me because of a misunderstanding, the love in my heart never faded."Amanda looked at Henry with a face full of doubt. Her mind and heart were racing. Remembering the reasons behind their decision to separate made Amanda's heart cut like a dagger. She knows that mistakes and misunderstandings have ruined the love they once had."But..." Amanda looked down; sh
William arrived at his house after Mr. Anderson came home. He ran into Henry, who was going home."Boss, when are you arriving?" William asked."Where are you from?" Instead of answering, Henry asked his assistant again."I ...." William stopped speaking when the cell phone in his pocket rang non-stop. William reached into it and looked at his cell phone screen. "Mr Jo? Looks like there is important information," said William to Henry.Willy answered a call from the butler at the Boss's house."Sir, there is important information about the old lady," said Mr Jo from behind the telephone."We'll go there now. Let's talk at home.""Are you back, sir?""Boss and I are home," answered William, "we'll be there soon."William hung up the phone immediately. "Boss, I'll change clothes first. We're going to your house now.""Your clothes are wet; where have you been?" Henry was surprised to see that his assistant's clothes were wet."It was raining there. I got caught in the rain when I got ba
"Thank you, darling." William kissed Tiara's hand many times."Darling?" Tiara was surprised. "We are not married yet.""We can start getting used to it now." William looked at Tiara with a smile. He didn't expect the final choice to fall on the boss's secretary. "I promise to treat you well."Tiara smiled while muttering to herself. 'Hopefully, my decision is not wrong.'Meanwhile, at William's house, Amanda and their children had just arrived home after returning from abroad."Mom, why don't good father come home with us?" Alana asked while leaning her body against the back of the chair."There are jobs that only a good father can do. So, he has to come back earlier than us." Henry tried to explain to his daughter even though he didn't know what important business it was, which made William so in a hurry to return."Good father has a lot of work; now, we are always accompanied by Henry's father. So it's not lonely anymore even though we rarely see good fathers." Alan began to feel c
"I'll get you some drinking water first; Boss must be thirsty." Tiara became increasingly nervous. "Please come in!"Tiara opened the door wide and rushed into the living room. William followed Tiara into her house."Please sit down, Boss! I'll get you a drink first."Tiara immediately went to the kitchen to get drinking water. Arriving in the kitchen, Tiara slumped and sat on the floor."Oh my God, what should I do?" Tiara held her chest while sitting cross-legged on the floor.A few minutes later, she woke up and stood up after calming down. Then, Tiara brought a glass of water for William."Please drink, Boss!"'She was in the kitchen for ten minutes but only brought me water. What was she doing in the kitchen all that time?' thought William.William took the drinking glass provided by Tiara. He drank all the water because he was also nervous."Do you want more water, Boss?" Tiara asked when William put the empty glass on the table."Yes, but it would be even better if it had taste,
Tiara sat in the living room, her right hand holding her cell phone and her left hand holding her chest. Tiara felt nervous, and her heart was pounding. She didn't know what to say.Her Boss was a man who was cold towards women. William couldn't joke with her like that, but Tiara was still confused. Did she hear wrong or what?"Tiara... did you hear what I said?" William confirmed that the telephone line was still connected."Yes, Boss.""Tiara, I have thought about this very seriously. I have known you long and am sure you are the right person to be my wife."Tiara felt her heart beat faster when she heard William's words. She couldn't think what she would say to her Boss.'It turns out I didn't hear wrong,' said Tiara to herself."Tiara, I need your opinion."William needs answers from Tiara. He couldn't continue talking about his plans while Tiara kept quiet."Sorry, Boss, but what do you mean by the right person?" Finally, Tiara dared to speak to William.William took a deep breat
After Mrs. Vena and Mr. Oeberon went home, Amanda took the children into their room to rest. Meanwhile, William and Henry were still in the living room.Henry sat opposite William. His face was worried when he saw his mother suddenly being very kind to her former daughter-in-law, Amanda."William," Henry called, then exhaled roughly. "I'm still unsure about my mother," he said quietly.His assistant, William, frowned. "What do you mean, Boss?""William, you have to do an investigation about my mother," Henry said in a serious voice. "I felt there was something wrong with her attitude towards Amanda."William looked at Henry in surprise. "But, Boss, may I know the reason behind this request? Does Boss know that Mrs. Vena has evil plans for the Twins?"Henry took a deep breath before answering. "I'm sure she won't hurt Alan or Alana, but she's planning something evil for Amanda. I can't trust my mother because she hates Amanda so much."William nodded in understanding. "Yes, Boss. I wil
"Amanda, have the children met their grandmother?" William changed the subject. He didn't know what to answer at all because he didn't have any female friends."Not yet," answered Amanda, "we will meet here today. Maybe soon...." Amanda's words stopped when she heard the bell ring in William's apartment. "That's probably them.""I'll open the door first." William rushed to open the door, and sure enough, Mrs. Vena and Mr. Oeberon came. "Please come in, sir, ma'am."William took a few steps back to give way to his boss's parents."William, please help me so that my two grandchildren don't hate me," said Mrs. Vena quietly. He was worried that Alan and Alana would be angry with her for trying to harm her two grandchildren.Amanda had allowed her ex-mother-in-law to meet Alan and Alana, but the woman was only ready to meet today. William must also assist because Amanda knows her husband and children will not defend her."Don't worry, Amanda never instilled hatred towards anyone in the hea
