Julia waited for about five minutes, the receptionist had not come yet to inform about what Lucas had said.

Harry already seemed to be getting bored, the little boy was seen moving around the waiting area.

"From the past until now, there have been so many vague women chasing after Mr. Lucas, finding excuses to even bring lunch!" the receptionist replied to her colleague at the reception desk.

"That woman earlier?" her friend asked.

"Yes, along with a child too, maybe she wants to say the child is the result of their one-night stand a few years ago, she thinks I can be fooled by her cunning ways!"

"So, did you chase them away?"

"No, I told them to wait in the waiting area, look there!" the woman said, raising her chin to point where Julia and Harry were waiting.

Julia and Harry still seemed to be waiting with the packed lunch they brought.

"Have you informed Mr. Lucas?"

"No need to inform him, Mr. Lucas had instructed that if a woman comes looking for him, she shouldn't be allowed to g

    As the two receptionists remained silent and did not answer, Lucas was forced to take his phone and call Edward again."Are you kidding, Edward! I don't see my wife and son in the lobby, are you lying to me!" Lucas replied loudly as Edward answered the phone.The two women standing behind the reception desk clearly heard what Lucas said.My wife and my son!Their knees trembled in fear, and their faces turned pale."It was you, not me!" one of them whispered sharply, blaming her colleague.The one being blamed trembled in fear even more."Sir, I saw a girl with a little boy sitting in the guest waiting area earlier!" suddenly, a security guard came up to Lucas.Quickly, Lucas turned to look at the security guard."Really? Where are they now?" Lucas asked quickly, feeling relieved that it was indeed Julia who came to deliver his lunch."They have already left, Sir," the security guard replied."Left? Where did they go?" Lucas asked with a worried expression."That girl left her belongi

    Lucas gazed around at every pedestrian in front of his office building.He couldn't see Julia and Harry.Lucas quickly continued searching with sharp eyes, looking at every woman with a child.The fact that Julia's arrival earlier was not welcomed by his own employees, fueled Lucas's anger even more.Starting tomorrow, he would replace the employees at the reception desk with male employees only, to avoid being too hasty in handling female guests.He would discipline his employees after this incident, so they wouldn't make mistakes that would lead to him firing them again.Finally, Lucas saw Julia with her son Harry, walking slowly as they looked around.It seemed like Julia was taking Harry out for a walk to explore his surroundings.Harry was pointing with his index finger at various objects, and Julia was responding calmly while holding her son's hand and walking slowly.Lucas felt relieved to see that Julia was actually taking their son out for a walk to enjoy the surroundings.Sl

    Julia stared fixedly at Lucas, it appeared that the man was hiding something."Weren't you the one who asked me to cook your lunch and deliver it to the office?" Julia asked, frowning as she gazed at Lucas with suspicion."T-Tha.. that!" Lucas scratched his non-itchy neck, becoming more flustered in responding to Julia."Or maybe you just don't like my cooking, your only excuse is saying it tastes good!" retorted Julia, feeling irritated.After expressing her thoughts, Julia quickly walked towards Lucas' office building."Julia, darling!" Lucas called out in panic."I will take back the packed lunch!" replied Julia, walking even faster.Lucas quickly picked up Harry, and holding his son closely followed Julia.Harry tightly embraced his father's neck as they half ran to follow his mother, who seemed angry with his father."Daddy... why did you give the lunch to Uncle Edward, Mama will be mad!" Harry said in Lucas' embrace, while hugging his father's neck tighter."Yes, son, Daddy was

    "What have they done?" Julia asked Lucas, looking at the two kneeling women."They threw away the meal you entrusted to them into the trash!" Lucas finally admitted truthfully about the meal that Julia had brought."What?" Julia was shocked to hear that the meal she cooked was thrown away by the receptionist into the trash.Her earlier suspicion turned out to be correct, but she did not expect the receptionist to be so daring as to throw away the meal she had made into the trash.Julia looked at the two kneeling women with a confused expression, unsure of what to do with the two women who were crying hysterically.Julia was also upset to learn that the meal she brought was thrown in the trash, as if the food she brought was poisonous."What have you done?" Julia asked them sternly.Julia finally stepped out from behind Lucas, standing in front of the two kneeling women."We were wrong, Madam, we misunderstood you, please forgive us!" one of the women responded."And I regret throwing

    Lucas took his wife and son to a famous restaurant in their city.While in the car earlier, Lucas had made a reservation for the VIP room, he wanted to have lunch with just the three of them as a small family.Upon seeing the restaurant they were heading to, Julia already knew it was a very expensive place.The price of a single menu could be up to one million rupiahs, truly expensive.“Why are we having lunch here?” Julia asked, not entirely agreeing.This was wasteful, just having lunch with four menu options alone could cost up to ten million.“It's okay, I want to treat my family!” Lucas responded with a sweet smile, trying to win over Julia's heart so she wouldn't cancel their lunch together.“We can eat at another restaurant, this place is too expensive!” Julia still expressed her disapproval.“Let's go in!” Lucas didn't listen to Julia, he held Julia's hand and with his other hand carried Harry.“It looks like eating here will be nice, right, Dad?” Harry hugged his father's nec

    "Since we are already husband and wife, shouldn't I call you dear?" replied Lucas.Julia did not respond to Lucas's question; she began to enjoy her lunch.She didn't reply to what he had just said because Julia didn't want to discuss it now.The girl had not developed feelings of love for Lucas, so she didn't think it was necessary to discuss the term 'dear'.As Julia remained silent, Lucas finally started to taste his lunch as well.During their meal, Harry, who was talkative, tried to ease the awkward atmosphere.Harry was so happy because the lunch menu ordered by Lucas matched his taste."After we finish lunch, let's go buy some ice cream, would you like that?" Lucas asked Harry."Yes, I want to! I want ice cream, thank you, Dad!" replied Harry happily, thrilled that he could finally have ice cream."Alright then, we should head to the ice cream shop!" Lucas signaled to the waiter standing near the entrance.The waiter quickly approached Lucas upon seeing his signal.Lucas took o

    "Didn't you bump into me? You should be the one apologizing to me, why are you the one getting angry?" retorted Julia, her emotions ignited as the woman spoke arrogantly, feeling herself innocent."You bumped into me first!" shouted the woman, refusing to admit fault.Because of the woman's shout, the people in the restaurant lobby turned to look at them."Wait a minute! I think I know you!" the woman suddenly responded, staring sharply at Julia.Julia returned the woman's fierce gaze, sensing her hot-tempered and self-centered nature."Aren't you Julia? my foolish and lowly cousin? Oh, after five years of hiding, it seems you have changed beyond recognition! You're quite good at hiding, huh! Because of you, I had to replace you back then, you scoundrel! You damned you! I hold such a grudge against you!" yelled the woman, who turned out to be Julia's cousin.Julia stared even more sharply at the woman, observing her face that looked older than her age.Julia remembered that her cousin

    After they left the restaurant, Lucas took Harry to eat ice cream, and after finishing the ice cream, Lucas then took his small family for a walk to the giant aquarium to see the fish.Harry was so delighted to see the fish in the tunnels of the giant aquarium."Papa, look, there's a wide fish!" exclaimed Harry joyfully as he saw the large Stingray swimming near the aquarium glass."That's called a Stingray, son, not a wide fish!" replied Lucas, explaining."Oh, a Stingray!" mumbled Harry, finally knowing the name of the fish that, according to him, had such a wide body.The three of them looked so happy enjoying their outing, showing their relationship growing closer.Meanwhile, in a lower-middle-class residential area, in a white-painted house with a standard small yard, a woman who had just arrived screamed as she threw things near her."I'm furious! I'm so annoyyyyed!" she screamed hysterically."What's wrong, Gina, why are you making a scene as soon as you arrive home!" replied a

    Harry was so happy to see his parents come to pick him up. The four-year-old ran toward his parents, who were standing at the school entrance. His face was beaming with happiness."Dad... Mom!" he shouted, running excitedly.Lucas crouched down, spreading his arms wide, welcoming his son who was running toward them. Harry's small body rushed into Lucas's embrace, and he wrapped his small arms around his father's neck."Dad, I'm so happy you came to pick me up!" the little boy said happily."How was school today, son?" Lucas asked, hugging his son tightly."I made a new friend, Dad. They like to be friends with me!" Harry said, telling him about his new friend."Harry! Harry! Wait!" A voice called out Harry's name loudly. A woman appeared, holding a water bottle in her hand."Thank goodness, you haven't left yet. You forgot your water bottle!" the woman said, handing Harry his water bottle."Huh!" Harry looked at the water bottle in the woman's hand in bewilderment. He felt like he had

    In the car on the way to Harry's school, Julia sat silently, lost in thought. She was replaying her mother-in-law's yelling in her mind. Her thoughts were gloomy, caught in the dilemma of her marriage.An ordinary girl with no parents and no education to brag about. It was all true, what her mother-in-law had said. A poor girl who was always abused and oppressed by her aunt and cousin.She had met a super-rich CEO by chance, due to an unexpected mistake. And she had never tried to charm the man, because it was impossible for a girl like her, a lower-class girl who wasn't worthy of a glance. But unexpectedly, the rich man was captivated by her. And without realizing it, her feelings began to grow for him slowly.They ended up falling in love. And now, should she leave the love she had found? The love she had long dreamed of and felt in her life?Someone would be hurt if she left: her, her son, and her husband. Lucas had been waiting for a long time to find her. And Harry's love for his

    Lisbeth was startled when someone grabbed her hand. When she saw who was holding her hand, the old woman was even more shocked."Lu... Lucas!" she muttered, her eyes wide."So this is why Mom wanted to meet my wife?" Lucas said, his face filled with anger, his gaze sharp as he looked at his mother."No... no, it's not like that. She was disrespectful to me, so I wanted to teach her a lesson, to make her know who she really is," Lisbeth said defensively.Lucas released his mother's hand, which was about to slap Julia's face."Mom, you're becoming shameless. Didn't you provoke Julia, making her talk to you like that? I heard everything you said to her!" Lucas said."I... I..." Lisbeth couldn't defend herself anymore."What is this? Mom, you value my self-worth at five billion so my wife will leave me?!" Lucas said, his voice getting sharper. He grabbed the thick envelope from the table and showed it to his mother's face.Lisbeth's face turned pale as she saw the envelope Lucas was holdi

    Julia stared at the thick envelope in front of her, her gaze distant. The envelope looked so thick and solid. Five billion. Inside the envelope, her mother-in-law had neatly arranged five billion. Had she gone to the bank first before meeting me?Julia's mind raced, thinking about her mother-in-law, who had clearly planned to get rid of her from Lucas's life.Julia's eyes locked on her mother-in-law's, unblinking. Her hands were clenched tightly."What do you mean, Mom? I don't understand!" Julia said."Don't call me Mom. I'm not your Mom! Can't you hear what I said? Leave Lucas. He's my precious son. He's not worthy of you!" Lisbeth said, her voice rising.Julia swallowed hard. Her heart ached. Her mother-in-law hated her so much."I won't leave Lucas. I love him. He's the father of my son. We have to be together," Julia said after calming herself for a moment.Lisbeth's face immediately showed displeasure. Her sharp gaze pierced Julia."He's my son. I have the right to him because I

    Lucas took Julia to the car showroom and let her choose the car she wanted. Julia, who was clueless about cars, didn't know what kind of model would be suitable for a woman.She saw a red car, and its color and design looked elegant and luxurious."What about that one? I like the color and shape!" Julia said, pointing to the car she wanted."Oh, a Toyota GR Supra. You have excellent taste, sweetheart! That's a great car!" Lucas said, smiling broadly. He didn't expect his wife to choose such a classy car."If it's too expensive, I don't want it. Let's get something cheaper," Julia said, following Lucas from behind.They approached the car Julia had pointed out, and Lucas carefully examined it."This is the latest model, sir. It's perfect for your wife. Your wife has excellent taste in cars!" the showroom manager said."Alright, we'll take this one. Please deliver it to this address," Lucas gave the address of the villa.Then they made the purchase.After buying the car for his wife, Lu

    The next morning, Julia woke up late. It was unusual for her to oversleep, and she scrambled out of bed in a panic. But a hand pulled her back, drawing her into someone's embrace."Where are you going, sweetheart? Why are you in such a hurry?" Lucas was still in bed with her, still snuggled under the covers.Julia looked at Lucas, who was still closing his eyes, slowly opening them. Lucas's sleepy eyes met Julia's gaze."I have to take Harry to school!" Julia said."Our son already left, sweetheart. I sent the nanny to take him to school. We'll pick him up after school," Lucas said, stroking Julia's cheek."Oh, he's already gone?" Julia put her head back on the pillow.Lucas hugged Julia's waist, resting his chin on top of his wife's head."Sweetheart, we haven't had our wedding reception yet. Tell me when you want to have it," Lucas asked.Julia thought about what Lucas said."When your mom accepts me for who I am," Julia replied."Alright, I'll convince Mom that you're the best daug

    Lucas felt Julia was running out of breath, so he released their kiss.The man smiled broadly, seeing his wife's flushed face, and her wet, parted lips."You're so beautiful, darling," Lucas whispered in Julia's ear, "I want to eat you!"Julia's face flushed even more, hearing Lucas's whisper, blushing with embarrassment, she pinched Lucas's arm."Ouch!" Lucas pretended to be in pain from Julia's pinch, which didn't hurt at all.Julia was instantly surprised to hear Lucas's cry of pain, it turned out that her pinch felt so painful."Sorry," Julia muttered, feeling guilty, then stroked Lucas's arm that she had just pinched.Lucas's smile widened, he was so happy, seeing Julia feeling guilty for hurting him."My darling, you're really so innocent!" Lucas said, pulling Julia into his embrace, then kissing his wife's neck.Lucas didn't expect to have a wife who was so adorable, making him love Julia even more."Let's go home, I want to continue our kiss from earlier," Lucas whispered in J

    Lucas felt the atmosphere inside the car was so gloomy, he felt very uncomfortable."Darling, I'm sorry!" Lucas said, breaking the silence, he was indeed outrageous for not taking care of Julia's feelings earlier."Forgive me, I was really over the top, I felt so smart and thought you were just talking nonsense, I was stupid, I should have realized that you know more about your cousin than I do!" Lucas said again, regretfully.Julia was silent, she didn't respond to what Lucas said.Julia looked out the car window in silence, calmly observing the street scene.Lucas became increasingly uncomfortable with Julia's silence, he felt more and more uneasy.Lucas glanced at Julia, who was looking out the car window, without any intention of turning towards him.Lucas's long hand reached for Julia's hand that was on his wife's lap.Lucas grasped the small hand, and squeezed it gently."Darling!"

    Lucas just learned about Julia always helping her aunt's finances.Edward didn't tell him about this issue, Lucas's feelings were mixed, hearing Julia's words just now."What do you mean, darling, did you work when you lived with them?" Lucas asked curiously."Yes, and it was never enough, until one day the loan shark came to collect their debt!" Julia began to explain."It's because of the high cost of living, so it takes a lot of money, plus you living with us, where did all that come from? So, Mama took the initiative to borrow money from the loan shark, and it turned out the interest was very high, Mama's debt piled up!" Gina said."Nonsense, you're a spendthrift! You always spend money lavishly, until you intend to sell me because you're tempted by the big payment!" Julia said, refuting everything Gina said."You should have been the one in that room, you've messed up my life, you've ruined my future!" Gina shouted."Oh, is that so!
