Irene asked Isaac, "Why aren't you saying anything?"Isaac seemed busy playing with their baby, asking in return, "Say what?"It was no big deal for Zachary to stay in custody for a couple days so that he cooled off.This time, he was not being impulsive like before, and that meant he had matured enough so that people did not have to worry about him."Eat," Isaac said, and pushed the bowl of soup Irene poured for him back to her. "Have this too."Irene did not, and pushed it back to him. "You drink it. I poured it for you"Then, she added, "Make sure to finish it."Isaac was speechless.-James left to send Erin to the airport while the others drove home.This time, Tommy did not want to go in the same car, and insisted on taking the same car with Irene.As such, she sat at the backseat with Tommy sprawled in her lap, looking listless like a withering flower. The baby was sleeping quietly. "What's with him?" Isaac asked softly—the boy looked unhappy for a while now.Ire

Why did Finn have to tell her at the research center?Still, entering the building just then, Irene called out, "Finn?"He usually would be scuttering toward her whenever he saw her before, but he was nowhere to be seen today.Or maybe he was not around? But he sounded like he was already there when he called her just now."Finn—"Before she finished, there was a pop just then, and confetti shot into the air. Then, a group of her colleagues streamed into the lobby, encircling her as the colorful confetti and party poppers floated down over her, landing on her hair and shoulders.She was left staring blankly—what was going on here?Finn suddenly appeared out of nowhere, exclaiming, "Congratulations!"Irene appeared dumbstruck. "For what?""The patient with the artificial heart woke up and is perfectly healthy, showing no signs of discomfort, organ rejection, or other conditions."Irene was actually surprised. "He woke up already?"She smiled as Finn nodded."There's more

Irene's words came out of the blue, leaving everyone thinking that she thought badly of them."How could you say that, Director Spencer?" "We heard from Finn that you want to leave, but we're really reluctant to see you go. The time we shared was neither brief nor long, but we could see your character and came to acknowledge you…""That's right, Director Spencer. Don't think that badly of us," Yolanda King chimed in."Really?" Irene raised a brow. "If my memory serves me right, you were the one who harassed me the most."Yolanda was left awkwardly speechless, but she had certainly bullied Irene a lot.Still, Irene smiled just then. "It's just a joke. Come on, everyone. Be seated."Everyone did so, and the table that was full of people was quite lively. Eventually, Yolanda asked, "Are you really leaving, Director Spencer?"Irene nodded. "Yeah.""Why? We were getting along!" Yolanda exclaimed."Yeah.""She's right." Everyone agreed. Irene took a deep breath. How was she

Yolanda got up and walked to Irene's side just then, pouring her a glass of beer while asking, "Why aren't you saying anything, Director Spencer? Is there something you can't say?"Irene picked up the glass of grape juice nearby, saying, "I can't drink. I have to stick with juices…"However Yolanda put a hand over hers, and spoke a little drunkenly, "You're leaving soon. Can't you spill your guts to us a little? Or maybe we're not worth that much…""What are you talking about?" Irene frowned, and looked around the table. "In my mind, everyone here is noble, because you all put in quiet sacrifices for the nation's medical field.""In that case, why don't you come clean with us in these last moments you share with us?" Yolanda said as she passed her the beer. "Let's all just speak our minds today, instead of getting all tight-lipped."As everyone watched, Irene took the beer since she really could not turn Yolanda down.Yolanda then called for a toast, "To fate, for bringing us tog

Isaac was left dumbfounded for a moment, but he quickly and gently patted Irene's back. "You're drunk. Be good now, and don't say such silly things. I'm carrying you inside.""No…" Even so, Irene was holding onto his waist relentlessly while keeping her face buried in his chest. "You don't get it."Isaac lowered his gaze at her and asked, "What don't I get?""I'm afraid to tell you," she rasped.Isaac turned to Eagle right then, "Go in for now!""Yes, sir," Eagle said, and turned to head inside. "It hurts." Irene, meanwhile, was tightening her hands around his waist."Do you want to vomit?" Isaac asked mildly. Irene shook her head, still leaning against him. "My heart hurts."Isaac sharply noticed that there was something weighing on her mind, and he asked softly, "Why?"That was when she suddenly looked up, staring him straight in the eye."Bleurgh." Her stomach was churning.As he was unable to carry her out in time, she vomited all over Isaac.The stench…Isaac p

Perhaps it was ticklish or something else, but Irene was moving around a lot.She then wrapped her arms around Isaac's neck and pressed her face against his, purring tenderly, "It's hot… I feel so hot…"Her cheeks were pinkish and droplets covered her devilish figure.And the way she wiggled in his arms was utterly alluring, just like a seductive succubus!Isaac lowered his eyes through the steam from the hot bath, but restrained himself.Gulping, he rasped, "Don't move. It will be over soon.""Urgh…" She kept struggling nonetheless. "It's so stuffy."It was certainly the case in this bathroom!"That's enough," he growled, forced to firmly hold onto her flailing hands as he washed her hair, soaking it thoroughly with bubbles.When he was done, he carried her out of the bathtub, and they both stood under the shower sprinklers to wash off the suds.Through it all, Irene's body was glued to his.After everything was done, he pulled out a bathrobe and draped it carelessly over h

Irene soon met Isaac's eyes and guiltily averted hers.Did she say something while she was drunk last night? Did he catch on to something?Why else would he sound a little… threatening?She searched her memory, but did not think that she had done anything to upset him!Whatever the case may be, it was time to play nice.Smiling, she said, "Alright, I'll come with you."Isaac's gaze was impassive. "Come!"He left the mansion first, while Irene followed.In the car, she leaned against him and asked softly, "Did I upset you while I was drunk yesterday?""Nope," Isaac replied. Irene heaved a sigh of relief—she actually thought she somehow did that!"Then why are you taking me to your office? I don't know anything about your work, let alone help—""Just stick with me," Isaac said, and suddenly leaned in to growl into her ear, "Don't you know how much you harassed me last night?"Irene's eyes widened. She did that?How?"You're lying. Why would I harass you?""You kept sed

Irene smiled. "Thank you."She was grateful that the patient's parents would offer such blessings.Living long could become a double-edged sword, but she really hoped that she and Isaac could stay together for that long.Still, Finn could tell that Irene was not used to this. He told the patient's parents, "Well, you've met her now. We should go if there's nothing else.""Of course, of course," the couple replied, and the father did not forget to tell Irene before they left, "You're the best doctor I've ever met."The best doctor?Irene was actually emotional from that, and felt for an instant that it was all worth it.Still, she was left staring at the scroll in her hand as they headed off into the distance. She asked Isaac, "What do I do with this?""Hang it up, of course," Isaac replied. "It's a token of honor."Irene looked up into his eyes. "You're not mocking me, are you?""Of course not," he said, putting a hand around her shoulder. "I'm proud of you.""Really?" Irene

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
