"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
"How did you know I was here?" Henry narrowed his eyes. "I didn't tell anyone about my situation.""Mrs. Amanda called me earlier because she was worried about something happening to you," William replied, "Mr. Philip called me, too."William wasn't entirely lying, as he did know about his boss's situation from Amanda."Oh my God... Mr. Philips must be waiting for me." Henry remembered that his purpose in coming to this area was to meet his new business partner, but he forgot after meeting Amanda."Now Mr. Philips has gone back to his country. So, the meeting will be for a few days until his business. I have also informed you that you had an accident on the way to the meeting place." "I must thank Mr. Philips because he wanted a meeting in this area. I got to meet Amanda." Henry smiled widely. "Looks like God has blessed me with Amanda again.""Mr. Philips does live in this area," said William, "and perhaps your meeting with Mrs. Amanda has been arranged by God. May there be a better
"Henry and Amanda are back in touch?" Mrs. Vena doubted what Sonya was saying. If Henry had secretly reconnected with his ex-wife, he would have broken off the engagement with Sonya."Auntie, I saw them with my eyes, so you must believe me. They seem to be back in a relationship behind our backs," added Sonya, looking worried. Vena stiffen. She reached for her drinking glass and took a small sip. "Are you sure, Sonya?""Yes, Auntie. I even have proof." Right after that, Sonya took something out of her bag. She took out her cell phone and showed some photos of Amanda and Henry holding hands.Vena's breath seemed to catch, and she unconsciously finished her drink in one gulp.Sonya took advantage of Mrs. Vena's anger. She urged her to act quickly. "Auntie can't let this happen. They've been separated for a long time and shouldn't have any relationship. Besides, Henry is engaged to me now and should only focus on me."Sonya paused her sentence with a single breath. "You must urge Henry
"Sonya?" Henry's brow furrowed. How did she know about what he was going through? Did she also know that he met Amanda?"Yes, she came to your office, and your secretary told her that you had an accident," Mrs. Vena replied, "although Sonya said that you were fine, I wanted to see you and see how you were doing." 'Sonya also knows that I only have minor injuries? How did she know that? William didn't even know about my condition before we met.' Henry wondered in his heart."Mom, just go home, I'll stay at William's house." Henry hung up the phone without waiting for his mother's response.Henry was sure his mother wanted to meet him to know how he was doing and talk about Sonya. He knew that if his mother met Sonya, the cunning woman would influence his mother again.Henry gave his cell phone to William and asked. "Does Tiara know that I had an accident?""Yes, she knows, but I told her not to tell anyone," William told Tiara because she trusted the Boss's secretary."Mom found out a
After the meeting, Henry returned to work in his room. He was very eager to take Sonya down. When he was about to contact William, the door to his room suddenly opened."Mom..." Henry was about to stand up and approach his mother, but he remembered William's words. If he doesn't recover, who will look after Amanda?"Mother came here to ask you to marry Sonya immediately." Mrs. Vena sat on the sofa in the room."Mother suddenly came to the office, disturbed my work, urging me to marry Sonya immediately. Have you forgotten our last conversation?" Henry's gaze looked sharp, as if he was intimidating his mother."Henry, marry Sonya!" Instead of answering Henry, Vena said when she first came to this room.The middle-aged woman was not afraid of Henry but was eager to continue urging her son.Unfortunately, Henry was the same. He again dared to defy his mother. He doesn't even hesitate to show his anger."We ended this conversation some time ago. It would help if you didn't discuss this aga
"Uncle, is this all for me?" Alana asked while selecting the many gift packages. But Henry just remained silent. Alana shook Henry's arm. "Uncle, why are you silent? Come on, accompany me to play!" Alana exclaimed, stretching her hands forward.Alana's voice suddenly shattered Henry's daydreams. Then Henry obeyed Alana's wishes. "All this is for you, Alana.""Can I open the present?" Alana picked up a set of Barbie dolls placed among the other toys. Alana had been impatient to open it."Sure, Alana. because the gift is really for you." Henry rubbed the girl's head.Henry and Alana sat on the carpet - still in the playroom, the child and father pair opened the gifts Henry had provided in unison.Alana looked very enthusiastic when Henry removed a doll set from the box."How about it, Alana? Do you like the doll?" Henry asked. One of the man's hands stroked Alana's soft hair."I like it, Uncle. This doll is very beautiful," Alana praised while hugging her doll. "Thank you, Uncle Henry,"
"Can good uncle know?" Alana asked very quietly.Henry shook his head. "This is our secret." Henry linked his little finger with Alana's little finger. "Promise!""Okay, Uncle," she said, then Alana withdrew her hand when she saw William coming.William approached Henry and Alana in front of the terrace. "Shall we go home now, Lana?""Yes, Uncle."William moved his head to give a respectful nod to Henry. "I'll take Alana first, Boss.""Yes, be careful!" Henry waved his hand at Alana. "See you later, sweet girl."Alana also waved with a smile before getting into the car.On the way, Alana looked restless. Occasionally, he looked at William, who was focused on driving. She remembered his promise to Henry. So far, nothing has been hidden from the man she loves.William saw the little girl's anxiety. Then, stop the car on the shoulder of the road. "What's wrong, Lana? Are you okay?"Alana turned to William and said, "I'm fine, Uncle," she answered, then looked down."Then what's the probl
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
