Irene quickly asked the cafe front desk for pen and paper, writing down her number on it.

"Watch out when you're at Zachary's home, and call me anytime you need help."

Lulu gave her a look but did not take the paper. "You told me that I could go home with him. Why do I have to watch out? Or maybe honesty isn't how things go around her?"

Irene had more to say, but Lulu had already gotten into a taxi.

She was left watching as the taxi went off into the distance, having the nagging feeling that Lulu was upset, but having no idea why.

Perhaps her personality had changed after losing her memory?

Still, Irene shook her head so as to not dwell on it, paid the money for the coffee, and took a taxi home.

Sheryl had Irene's second son in her arms, while Tommy was sprawled over her lap, watching his baby brother.

As Irene entered, she noticed Sheryl had a necklace on.

Irene remembered seeing her wear it as a child, and she sat down on the couch with Sheryl. "That necklace looks familiar.

    For the first time, Irene experienced what it was like to be too sore to get out of bed.No matter how grilling it was before, Isaac was at least gentle and considerate.But this time, it was all just jackhammering! At one point, she actually felt like he would kill her!As she was left fatigued, the man who left her limp stood before the tall mirror nearby, buttoning his shirt as he watched her reflection, asking, "Are you awake?"Upset, Irene ignored him. He then walked over to the bed, "Not getting up? You're having surgery today."Irene pulled the blanket over her face, so he sat down and pulled it off. "What's wrong?"Irene glared at him then. "That's my question. Just tell me if I did something wrong, instead of behaving so weirdly!"Isaac held her gaze for seconds before asking, "How many men have you fallen in love with?"Irene actually thought about it, but said, "Do I even have the time for that? Like I said, my dad kept pushing me to learn all sorts of discipline

    Along the way, Irene said nothing, and she was basically pouting at Isaac.Freeing one hand to hold hers, he asked quietly, "Still upset?"Irene ignored him, but her silence was basically a yes."You're the one who upset me first," he said."I upset you first?" Irene turned toward her right then. "Pray tell, how?""You know what you did," Isaac replied. Irnee was speechless—if only she did!He always got upset out of the blue! Maybe it was just him going through menopause. Maybe men experienced that too—how else would one explain him getting upset out of the blue?Bzzt—Isaac's phone rang, and he answered it. Since his phone was connected to the car bluetooth system, James Cross's voice could be heard from the speakers, "Ian Jefferson is wreaking havoc downstairs, slamming the door and screaming. He's affecting those nearby, but I still don't have a place that suits him."Isaac growled coolly. "Tie him up and gag him.""Yes, sir," James replied. After Isaac hung up,

    Seth took a step back in reflex—the man standing at the door projected a horrific presence that extended to his surroundings."Who are you looking for?" Seth asked nonetheless.Isaac simply ignored him—he was instead staring at Seth's name tag. His expression darkened when he saw the name 'Seth Hedge'.Irene looked up then, and murmured, "Isaac?""You know each other?" Seth asked.Isaac simply strode inside, standing by her bed as he looked at her.Though he felt concerned, his words were somehow not so. "Are you happy now?"Irene ignored his weird tone, dismissing it as yet another one of his manic outbursts! Smiling at Seth, she said, "Allow me to introduce you to my husband."Seth smiled. "So he's your fiance? Hello…"He held out a hand to Isaac, but Isaac ignored him once again.Left hanging, Seth gingerly lowered his hand and quickly left the ward. "I still have work to do, so I won't impose."Irene shot Isaac a glare right then. "What's your problem?"Isaac snorte

    "Yes, she really lost her memory." Zachary was very direct. "Please be nice to her and make up for your past mistakes." Mrs. Slate nodded. "I will—I mean, I don't have to worry about anyone taking the family estate now that you're in full control, let alone arrange your marriage. You have the power now, and of course I hope you can be with the one you love.""And don't mention anything about the best in front of her," Zachary added.Mrs. Slate nodded again. "I know."Lulu watched as they whispered to each other, her heart ice cold.Were they trying to mess with her again?She was fortunate that found out so much thanks to eavesdropping, or she would have suffered again without ever knowing what hit her.Zachary entered and started to help her wash some of the ingredients, but Lulu pushed him away, forcing him to leave. "You don't have to help. I'm doing just fine.""You just came. How can I leave you alone in the kitchen?" Zachary protested, feeling bad for her. "I don't wan

    Irene woke up at her hospital ward, and Isaac poured her a cup of water, asking softly, "Are you hungry?""No," she replied. "Have you acquired the drug I told you to get?""Yeah," Isaac replied. "I've already told James to administer it on Ian Jefferson—I'll hand him over to the old man after that."Isaac had actually asked around, and he found out that the drug could destroy a person's hippocampus.Irene was basically helping Ian forget old grudges—to offer him a clean slate.It was certainly a good idea. Otherwise, locking Ian up meant guarding him, in fear that he would escape and continue to wreak havoc."Henry's condition is serious, but Ian being at his side might help," Irene said. It was actually an idea inspired by Lulu's situation—one would not be upset over something they had forgotten. Still, Isaac did not want to hear anything about Henry Jefferson. "I'm just giving him Ian to spare myself the trouble."And there was nothing else to consider about that. Knowi

    Irene got out of bed.She had to keep her head reared after the surgery on her neck.Unable to see underneath herself, she knocked into a table and almost fell over.Isaac quickly returned inside when he heard the commotion, frowning as he watched her standing there. "What are you doing?""Oh!" Irene gasped. "Wait, didn't I tell you to buy me food?""You were just sending me away while you went to the washroom, weren't you?""Nope." Irene did not deny it."Really?" Isaac simply walked up to her and scooped her up in his arms. Then, carrying her to the washroom, he started to loosen her pants—Shocked, Irene quickly caught her own pants while snapping, "What are you doing?!""Helping you with your potty business," Isaac replied in amusement. "We're married—is there a part of you I hadn't seen?"Irene was speechless and she simply shoved him.It only seemed to make Isaac's grin broaden. "Getting shy, are we?""Get out." Irene appeared to be getting angry, so Isaac left th

    At the next instant, Ricky dashed forward and pulled Lulu to his side, snapping, "Where have you been? They were all saying that you're dead, so why are you showing up now? And what are you doing with Zachary Slate? Don't you think he's hurt you enough?"Lulu's heart stirred when she saw the disappointment in Ricky's eyes.He really cared about her, did he not? Why else would he be so concerned?"Ricky, you're just a brother to him, so stop being delusional." Zachary took Lulu's hand then. "Don't listen to him—he's just a kid who hasn't seen the world."His words almost left Ricky with a stroke, and he naturally did not let go. "What, should she listen to all the crap from you, who's supposedly an adult? I may be younger, but I at least have a conscience. You were the one who hurt her, and yet you're so thick-skinned that you'd still show your face around her!"With that, he turned to Lulu. "Tell him you hate him—tell him to let you go and to never bother you again."Irene was ju

    Zachary was left flabbergasted as he saw Lulu standing there with a club in her hands. He had never expected her to blindside him!"Lulu…?"What was she doing? He was totally confused!Lulu pretended to look shocked, and she stammered as she explained, "I-I was trying to hit Ricky…"Her words left Ricky even more frustrated, and he kicked Zachary from behind, catching him off guard and knocking him to the floor. Then, he leapt on top of Zachary, straddling him while raining fists on his face left and right…Zachary, stunned by Lulu's hit, could not fight back just then!…In the house, James frowned at what he was seeing from the cameras. "Should I get involved?"Ricky might really kill Zachary there…Isaac spared the screen a brief glance and said, "Go."James stepped out of the mansion right then, pulling Ricky off Zachary and warning him, "Keep this up and you're out of here!"Ricky spat spitefully at Zachary nonetheless.At the same time, James was puzzled—Lulu had

    Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.

    Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations.""Thank you." Rea smiled in return."Congrats," Baby said, imitating the adults.Rea reached out to stroke his c

    Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had

    "What's the problem? We've already slept together," Rea said as she put her clothes on.She frowned as Stan was still on the bed and not moving. "What, are you going to stay in my bed forever?""What am I supposed to wear?" Stan shrugged. "You haven't brought my clothes here.""I'll get it for you."Rea remembered his suitcase then and hurried downstairs to bring it up."Wear whatever you like. I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and hurried away.Stan got out of bed and put on a suit—it was only right to dress formally when it came to discussing marriage.After cleaning up and heading downstairs, he found Rea sandwiched by her parents.Stan had no idea if she had already mentioned it, but both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were both staring at him, leaving him further tense.Clearing his throat, Stan began, "Excuse me, but—""Yes, we agree to you marrying our daughter.""You mean marrying into our family," Rea corrected them.Everyone else was staring at her before asking all at o

    If Rea asked her parents now, they would only get sad, and life would become difficult for everyoneWhat should she do to make them happy?Right, she could get married! Her parents would definitely be pleased. As for the choice of bridegroom, did she not have one readily available here?If Stan could pretend to be her boyfriend, he could definitely be her husband too.They could fake their marriage if they had to!Putting the medical file back where she found it, she wobbled up to her feet and left the room.Stan had yet to step out of the bathroom when she returned, so she sat on the bed and waited.After a while, Stan stepped out with a towel around his waist and paused when he saw Rea sitting there. "Where are my clothes?" He asked, presuming that Rea had forgotten since there was nothing on the bed or the table. "My suitcase is still in your car trunk."Rea turned toward him. "Let's get married."Stan was left speechless for a moment and soon chuckled, "Did you forge

    Mrs. Fowler smacked her daughter, but while Rea thought she was angry, she said instead, "Just do your best."Rea's mind was blown—were her parents bewitched? They were completely different from before! A long time ago, her parents had used to tell her that she did not have to marry as long as she was happy.But later on, they had persistently sent her on blind dates… and now, they were telling her to seduce a man?Touching her mother's forehead, Rea asked, "Are you sick?"Mrs. Fowler slapped her hand off. "Your dad and I are leaving now.""Yeah." Mr. Fowler nodded. "The chauffeur is waiting."Rea walked them to the door and watched as their car left before returning inside.She did not go upstairs since Stan was asleep, and she would be bored—she was the type who just could not sit still.However, it was inappropriate if she left since that would leave nobody home.In her boredom, she thought of pranking Stan. She headed upstairs to find him asleep, and soundly at that.Ca

    Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y

    "I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

    Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim
