Julia and Lucas stared at each other.One felt that the one she was looking at was pretending to be innocent, while the other didn't understand what the girl had just said."What do you mean, Julia? I don't understand!" Lucas’s eyes looked intently into Julia’s eyes."What do I mean? Don't pretend you don't understand, didn't you just say that you had dinner with your family and your cousin?" Julia said, looking intently into Lucas’s eyes.Lucas fell silent when Julia clarified her words, it was true that he had dinner with his parents and cousin.Seeing Lucas speechless after hearing what she said, Julia finally believed what she heard at the fast food restaurant earlier, it was true.That Lucas and his family had discussed the issue of Lucas’s relationship with the man’s cousin."I’ll take care of the documents in a week, this afternoon we’ll pack, and leave soon!" said Julia calmly."What are you saying? What documents do you mean? And move, I don’t understand what you’re talking a
"What do you mean? What incident?" Julia asked, wondering, looking at Lucas's face confused.Julia's eyes unintentionally saw the red mark on Lucas's hand as he was about to move his hair that covered part of his face."Why is this?" Julia asked, grabbing Lucas's hand, who was about to tuck his hair behind his ear.Julia's strong caring side couldn't bear to see someone injured because she knew how painful it was to get hurt.She had experienced being hurt and experienced not being cared for when she was hurt.Still fresh in Julia's memory, she was pushed by her cousin and got hurt on her head.So much blood came out, but her aunt was indifferent to Julia who was injured, letting Julia endure the pain, until Julia fainted from losing too much blood.Julia's feelings were so painful, her aunt didn't care about her, it was truly very painful.Her aunt was the only family she could rely on, but the woman didn't have a shred of love for Julia."Why are you hurt?" Julia asked worriedly, se
Lucas continued to hold Julia tightly until her sobs subsided.Lucas's hand gently continued to pat Julia's back, and his other hand continued to stroke her hair.For a while, they were silent, only the sound of Julia's fading sobs could be heard softly.Julia released his embrace and then sat upright on Lucas's lap.Lucas put his arms around Julia's waist, it seemed the man was reluctant to let her go from his lap."So, what really happened, why didn't you come home after dinner with your family, and it turned out your business wasn't office business, Harry was thinking negatively about you!" said Julia, looking intently into Lucas's eyes."I'm sorry, I didn't say that it was actually Mama who called me, because I was upset with Mama!" Lucas said with a regretful tone.Julia looked at Lucas even more intently, she couldn't guess what was on Lucas's mind, why the man who was already her husband didn't tell her where he actually went last night."A..I, I'm sorry!" Lucas realized again
Lucas unconsciously squeezed Julia's waist, feeling hurt tosee her shaking her head.It seemed Julia didn't believe his explanation.Julia winced, feeling the pressure of Lucas's large hand on her waist, it was pressed so hard by Lucas."It hurts!" Julia murmured, holding Lucas's hand that was squeezing her waist.Julia's face was contorted in pain, she looked at Lucas's face which looked annoyed."You don't believe my explanation?" Lucas asked Julia with a disappointed tone."What? Did I say I didn't believe you?" Julia was surprised by Lucas's question."You just shook your head, so what does that mean? Isn't that a sign that you don't believe me?""Oh!" Julia realized her headshake earlier, "That's not it, I was just remembering something, that's why I shook my head!"Suddenly, the door to Lucas's reading room opened, and a little boy's face appeared from behind the door, then stepped into the room."Papa, Mama! You're here, I was looking for you!" Harry said, walking quickly with
Harry sat up straight, then began to tell his story."On the way home from school, Mama took me to get pizza, then not long after, two beautiful aunts came into the pizza restaurant, then sat behind Mama's chair!" Harry said, telling the story while his hand demonstrated, 'there are two beautiful aunts' while he pointed with two fingers, mentioning two people.Lucas listened intently to his son's story, while looking intently at Harry, the man was so amazed to see how clever his little boy was talking.Meanwhile, Julia couldn't believe her son was so good at telling what they did earlier.Even the two beautiful women who entered the fast food restaurant, he paid attention to, while she herself didn't pay attention."Then...!" Harry continued his story, "The beautiful aunt ordered pizza, then... while waiting for her order to arrive, she talked to her friend, she said that she had succeeded in conquering a man named 'Lucas' whom she had been chasing for a long time, that man 'Lucas' wh
Harry watched his father kiss his mother, the little boy felt so happy to see the affection between his parents.Like cool water flowing through him, his small body quickly joined his two parents.Harry landed his kiss on Lucas's cheek, then on Julia's cheek."I'm so happy, I'm happy Papa... Mama, I want to be carried!" Harry said sweetly, then hugged Lucas's neck.Lucas and Julia looked at their son who looked so adorable.Lucas's hand reached for Harry's small body.Seeing Harry being lifted by her husband, Julia got off Lucas's lap."Come on, son, Mama will bathe you!" Julia said, then moved towards the door of Lucas's reading room.Lucas slowly got up from his seat, and carried his little son, following Julia's footsteps.Julia went upstairs, and went straight to Harry's room.Lucas followed Julia's steps into Harry's room, and then followed her into Harry's mini walk-in closet.Meanwhile, Harry in Lucas's arms was silent, watching what his mother was doing.Julia realized that Lu
The car carrying Julia slowly entered the restaurant's parking lot."Thank you," Julia said to her husband's bodyguard."You're welcome, Ma'am!" the man replied.Julia then got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant, which seemed busy."I don't want it, this isn't my order, I didn't order this earlier!"As soon as Julia entered the restaurant, she heard a scream inside.Making Julia startled.She saw at the door of one of the VIP rooms, several waiters and Tina, facing a woman who was shouting, while pointing her finger at Tina.Julia approached the crowd, and clearly saw the face of the shouting customer.Julia felt that the woman seemed like a stalker, or maybe it was just a coincidence.Lucas's cousin, the woman she had seen just three hours ago at the fast food restaurant, was now a customer at her restaurant."What's going on here?" Julia said, squeezing between her employees."Julia!" Tina called, turning to see Julia approaching."Hey, you!" Miranda's eyes glared at J
Julia matched the food menu that was already served on the table with the one on the piece of paper order she was holding.Everything was the same, only the arrangement was different.Julia knew what food was served on the table because it was her creation, which was then passed on to Tina.From Tina, then taught to the substitute chef."This is according to the order, why would you say this is not the order you ordered!" Julia said."My friend said that it doesn't match the menu!" Miranda insisted that their order was wrong."It's just a different arrangement and shape, have you never eaten at a restaurant, or are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?" Julia said, looking at Miranda with a probing look."What did you say? You little girl, what are you talking about? You should be polite to VIP customers, because VIP customers are special customers that you should serve well!" Miranda shouted angrily."You're just trying to cause trouble for me, did I ever make a mistake to you?"
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 called again.Julia still didn't respond to Lucas's call, and it made Lucas unbearable anymo
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! And don't you have the nerve to say that? You r
