"Sean... What do you mean?" Angel whispered followed by wide eyes. Angel knew for sure that Sean had proposed to her twice, and Angel had not yet given an answer to the second question. Sean's words had caught her by surprise. How could Sean ask Angel to get married this week? "Are you kidding me?"
Sean's wide hand touched Angel's thin cheek. "You know for sure that I'm not playing. I mean what I said, that I wanted us to get married this week."
"But, Sean... I... I don't know." Angel said in a lower voice. It felt like something was stuck in her throat. Angel really didn't know how to respond to Sean's request.
"Please, Angel. Please accept my marriage proposal. Isn't this also one of Harriet's wishes?"
Angel's gaze fell on their lit
"Daddy... I want to pee."Harriet threw her arms up, wanting Sean to hold her. Sean put his cell phone on the table, then he walked over to his little daughter who was eating snacks. Sean's eyes felt tired because he had been working for hours. There were a lot of reports that Sean had to review, and because of the urgency, Sean checked the files on his cell phone. Sean's position is indeed a CEO, but that doesn't mean he can let go and fully trust his subordinates. Sean also needs to check every report so that there are no mistakes that can harm the company."Come on, Daddy will accompany you to pee." And now Harriet was in Sean's arms. "Are the snacks Daddy bought delicious?"Harriet licked her index finger which was covered in cheese-flavored spices, then she nodded. "Snacks are del
Angel woke up hearing the sound of people talking. It was clear that Sean was having a pretty serious conversation with someone else, and of course Sean wasn't talking to their daughter. Angel's eyelids trembled, then she slowly opened them. Angel finds Sean with Anne and Harvey. The three of them were talking on the couch, while Harriet was sitting in the baby chair watching cartoons on television."Hmm... you should put yourself as Angel. What would you do if someone wanted to marry you, but you know you don't have much time? Do you think you will accept the marriage proposal?"It was Harvey's voice, and they were all clearly talking about Angel. Why are they talking about her? Actually Angel wanted to immediately greet the arrival of Anne and Harvey who had come all the way here, but she held back. She was more curious about the conv
According to Angel, Sean didn't say much. After Angel stopped pretending to be asleep, Sean immediately gave Angel a glass of mineral water. That's all. Anne and Harvey greet Angel to ask how she is doing. They were both very worried about Angel, and kept telling Angel to calm down."Mom shouldn't have let you, Sean and Harriet go on vacation. It's all Mom's fault for not being careful." Sorry Anne for the umpteenth time.Angel shook her head. "No, Mom. It's not Mom's fault and nobody's fault.""Mom's really sorry, honey. I'm sorry Mom." Anne said while holding Angel's hand trembling. For Anne, Angel is like her own child. And Anne felt she deserved to blame herself for everything that had happened."Mom, this is fate, and I can't avoid this." Angel replied, then she hugged Anne tightly."My poor daughter." Anne stroked the top of Angel's head affectionately. "Mom loves you so much, honey. Thanks for holding on so great so far."Angel smiled
"Daddy, why are we leaving mommy?" asked Harriet as soon as they got out of the car. They were in the yard, and Sean was getting things out of the trunk he had brought on vacation. Ah, this vacation was short-lived and ended in unexpected circumstances."We're not leaving mommy, honey. We went home for a while because we needed to pick up some things to take to the hospital. Besides, there's Grandma and Uncle Harvey who will look after Mommy for us." Sean answered while handing her a favorite doll."Thank you, Daddy." Harriet kissed her doll enthusiastically.Sean closed the trunk of the car, and he smiled faintly at his little daughter's behavior. Sean wasn't completely lying. He did need to pick up things to take to the hospital, but that wasn't the main reason. For a moment, Sean se
Sean brushed his hair in the middle of the shower. Cold water soaked all over his body. His eyes were tightly shut as he let his thoughts run wild. His head had too much stuff sitting in it, and it felt like it would burst his head.Sean's right fist hit the bathroom wall lightly. He did so that he remained conscious and did not lose his sanity. Because no matter how much Sean threw away the marriage proposal, in the end it was the only thing he could think about again. It was hard for Sean to pretend he was okay with the situation.Oh, what he is gonna do now?Sean immediately finished his shower after realizing he had spent a lot of time in the bathroom. It's probably been half an hour Sean has been doing that. What a waste of time but still can't solve the problem. At this rate it was better that Sean didn't have to daydream at all.Sean chose a sweater and skinny jeans for this afternoon. He and Harriet would be back in the hospital soon. For now Sean
"Noah! Come on, hurry home now!” shouted a woman from the house next door to Harriet. There was no visible figure in front of Sean, Harriet, and Noah, but the voice was clear. Yes, it's that close to Harriet and Noah's house.“Woah, what a scary sound.” Harriet shuddered as she chuckled at the loud voice of Noah's older sister."Yes, I agree with you." Noah was now laughing along with Harriet. The boy took the plate of pudding that was still a lot left, then he stood up to say goodbye. "Harriet, I'm going home. And… Sir, thanks for letting me play with Harriet.”Sean smiled after shaking off the thought that the girl's voice sounded familiar. Seriously, why did it feel like he had heard that voice somewhere? "Yes, you should go home it's late. We also have to hurry to get back to the hospital.” Just as Noah was about to walk to the front door, Sean suddenly spoke again. "Noah, can you leave all the pudding here?""Dadd
"What are you calling me for? Harriet and I were about to leave the house." Sean answered Harvey as he put his phone between his ear and shoulder. Sean's one hand was locking the door, and the other was holding a tote bag. It's 5 pm, and Sean is just about to leave the house for the hospital. Harriet had a sudden heartburn. So they were a little late."Then you don't have to come here. Tonight, Anne and I will look after Angel at the hospital."Harvey's words contained Sean who had just stepped in to a sudden halt. He swallowed hard as if something was stuck in his throat. It felt so sudden. "Why? Did Angel make that request?" Sean asked curiously. He was afraid that Angel would deliberately avoid him just because of the marriage proposal."Are you two fighting?"
"Good decision. Rest comfortably at home, and don't forget to have dinner."Angel heard Harvey's voice talking over the phone. Angel was sure that Harvey was talking to Sean, and she was also sure that Harvey could persuade Sean not to have to go back to the hospital tonight. Harvey's sentence just now was a clue. That could make Angel breathe a sigh of relief. At least for tonight she didn't have to worry about how to deal with Sean."How?" Angel asked pretending not to hear their conversation."Sean will be here tomorrow."Angel sighed once again. "I'm grateful. I don't want them to get tired of having to go back and forth here.""Tonight we will take care of you." Harvey replied,
It's been a month since Darla sprained her leg. So it's been a month since Darla hasn't spoken to Sean again. Darla forgot about Steve's threats because she was already hurt by Sean's words. How could Darla approach Sean when Sean's attitude was so arrogant? Besides... besides that Darla is pregnant. Yes, Darla got pregnant by Sean. Unfortunately she still keeps her pregnancy a secret from anyone, except for Britney. So Darla decided to stop working at the nightclub and Britney allowed it. Today Darla is cooking a lot of food because it is a special day. Today is Noah's first day of school. Since being pregnant, Darla feels more passionate about cooking. The great thing is that Darla's cooking is now very delicious. It's 1pm and Noah should be back from school. She paced back and forth in front of the house anxiously. Suddenly a taxi pulled up in front of her house and Noah got out of there. Not only that, Noah was with Meredith. "Noah, come here," Darla said
Darla never imagined that she would be in this situation. She was on Sean's back. Yes, Sean carried her to the mini market. Darla could not focus because Sean's back was so board and wide, besides that the smell of Sean's perfume made Darla mesmerized. Sean's perfume was already mixed with sweat and it reminded her of the time they had sex a few days ago. "Wrap your hands around my neck," Sean said because Darla almost fell over. Slowly Darla's hands were now on Sean's neck. She had been holding Sean's shoulder because she felt it was too awkward. To be honest she was shy, but she couldn't walk alone either. Her ankle was too sore. "Sorry, I must be heavy," said Darla feeling bad. "No, you're not heavy." "I weigh 50 kg." Darla said honestly. “Why did you say that? Do you want to know my weight?” Sean chimed in. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm heavy." "If you're still saying the same thing then I'll leave you her
Darla woke up earlier than usual. The night after Sean followed her to the nightclub, Darla couldn't think of anything. She had been quiet for a while in the club and asked Britney for an opinion, after which she decided to take time off work that night. So Darla came back home around 10 and Noah was asleep. Ah, she hasn't even spoken to her younger brother since yesterday afternoon.To refresh her mind, Darla decided to jog around the complex. She also hadn't exercised in a long time so her muscles felt stiff. After warming up, Darla started jogging. She has heard that when we are stressed, jogging is one of the sports that can be used as an option.Yes, Darla is under a lot of stress. Britney's words are still etched in her mind. Darla really had no other choice but to refuse Steve's request, so Darla couldn't help but obey. Darla must look for evidence while she pretends to cooperate with Steve. She honestly didn't want to set Sean up, but Noah's life was at stake.
Harriet was still pretending to be asleep even as Sean carried her. Noah walked behind Sean and Anne, so Noah could see that Harriet was slowly opening her eyes. Noah smiled and Harriet smiled back."Go back to sleep," Noah said quietly.Harriet immediately closed her eyes again. She was quite happy to meet Noah even though this afternoon Sean forbade them to meet. And she was also happy to be carried by Sean. Harriet missed Sean's warm embrace."Noah? Come and walk beside me."Anne's words made Noah run over, so they all walked side by side down the cemetery area. Anne's wrinkled hand gripped Noah's.“We want to thank you. If you hadn't told us about Angel’s grave, we might not have thought of coming here. Previously we were really frantic and panicked,” said Anne gratefully."Yeah, you're welcome, Grandma. Because the only place I can think of is this.” Noah gave a sweet smile."Thank you darling." Once again
In Sean's hand was a toy in the form of a lego. He had just bought this at a toy store as he was going home. Harriet will definitely love this lego. Previously Harriet was still angry that she didn't want to talk to Sean. Sean understood that because lately he had been quite fond of his little daughter.When Sean arrived at his house, he saw Anne was in the yard looking for something. "Mom, what's wrong? What are you looking for?” Sean asked.Anne approached Sean and her face showed panic. “Sean… Harriet disappeared. She's not in the house," answered Anne in a trembling voice."W-what?" Sean's eyes widened in surprise. His heart felt like it was going to burst when he heard that. "Are you sure, Mom?""Yeah, I haven't been able to find Harriet since."Sean immediately ran to enter the house. He entered Harriet's room which was no longer locked even though his little daughter had locked it since this afternoon. Sean's feet searched
"Britney? May I ask your advice?”Those were the first words that came out of Darla's lips as soon as she approached Britney. Britney exhaled the smoke, then she pressed the butt against the ashtray."What do you want to ask?"Darla sat down next to Britney. To be honest she was hesitant to talk let alone ask for advice from Britney. Darla used to keep everything to herself, but this time she felt like she wanted to share her worries. Darla wanted to know what a Britney's point of view was."I ... I mean it's about my friend," Darla lied. She couldn't possibly say that this was about her. If Britney knew the truth, Britney might be more frustrated than Darla.“What problem does your friend have?”Darla fiddled with her fingers for a moment before she worked up the courage to speak. “My friend received a threat from someone. She was told to make a man love her, then after that my friend had to leave the man. She is in
Darla was just about to enter the nightclub where she worked and just at that moment Steve called her. She squeezed the phone in her hand because she didn't want to talk to Steve at all. She had already guessed that Steve would ask about the progress of her relationship with Sean. Oh, this can't even be called progress. They even had a fight this afternoon."What are you calling me for?" she asked as soon as she picked up Steve's call. She pulled over to the side of the road right beside the nightclub."Is there any progress?" Steve asked matter-of-factly."Steve, didn't you give me three months?" Darla reminded Steve."Yeah, I'm just making sure you don't retreat unilaterally."Darla snorted. “Did I think I had that kind of opportunity? You put me in the most difficult position.”"It's good that you're aware of that." Steve laughed with satisfaction. “If you are caught unilaterally retreating, then I will not hesitate to k
"Could you show us where your basement is?"Steve did not immediately respond to Xavier's request and it made Harvey smile. Steve seemed a bit taken aback and maybe he was starting to get intimidated that Harvey knew about the secret room.“Yeah, sure, but I haven't been in the basement in a while so maybe it'll get pretty dirty. Maybe about 6 months ago,” Steve said pretending to think.Steve walked in front of them. There is a door and in that room there is a secret staircase leading to the basement. They all descended the stairs and now they were all finally in the basement. Steve turned on the light switch, but the light was dim as a sign that this room was rarely visited. Xavier and his team are even pretty sure that this basement was probably last visited a few months ago. This basement room is dirty and stuffy."This must be your trick. You want to deceive us all," said Harvey confidently. Previously, Dalton had talked about this baseme
After making sure Caroline was waiting in the car, Harvey walked behind Xavier's team. Harvey tried to call Steve's cell phone number to find out if Steve was home or not, but Steve didn't pick up at all. Steve was certainly confused after his crime was caught until the rescue team was here.Harvey and Xavier's team stepped further into the house. This house is very quiet as if uninhabited. Suddenly they heard the sound of the cell phone ringing tone.Xavier glanced at Harvey. "Are you calling him?" Harvey nodded his head, then he showed Xavier the screen of his cell phone. He did call Steve, but he didn't pick up. "Keep calling him. I'm sure he'll pick up if you keep calling him.""Yeah, looks like Steve still doesn't know we're here."“You better look for something in every corner of this house. If there's anything suspicious, you can tell me right away,” Xavier told his team of two men."Okay sir," they answered in unison, then they
