“Just leave the dishes, Darla. I can do that myself.”

Anne repeatedly forbade Darla to wash their ice cream bowls, but Darla insisted on washing everything herself. After all she didn't help much because there were only 4 bowls.

"No problem. Incidentally, I really like washing dishes,” said Darla as she started to wash the dishes.

Anne smiled sitting in the pantry chair, right behind Darla. His gaze was watching Harriet and Noah playing together. Her granddaughter has been embracing Darla's teddy bear.

"Harriet seems to like your gift."

Darla smiled as she glanced at Harriet. Harriet didn't take her hand off the teddy bear for a second. "It's just a cheap doll, but I'm really happy that Harriet likes it," she said, going back to washing the dishes.

"You were the first to give her a birthday present, Darla."

Darla's hand, who was washing the dishes, stopped. She was surprised to hear Anne's words. If that's true then

A Client has been waiting for a long time!” Britney sounded angry there.Darla snorted. “If he can't wait for me, why can't he just use another girl? It's as if I'm the only prostitute girl you have." After Darla said that, the taxi driver looked at her through the rearview mirror. She immediately asked, "What did you see?""N-no, I'm sorry," replied the taxi driver."Instead of eavesdropping on my conversation, you'd better drive faster," said Darla, annoyed that the taxi driver was clearly giving her a perverted look af

The owner of the house dispelled his annoyance when he found out that Dalton was really a detective.“Do you mean the owner of this old house?

    Sean was sitting in front of his house dreaming. It was the middle of the night, but he couldn't sleep at all. In his hand was a box of cigarettes and a lighter. He had been considering whether to smoke or not. This was not an easy matter considering that in the past he almost died from smoking too much and drinking alcohol. The nasopharyngeal cancer was still haunting him, but on one side his head hurt. Sean needed at least one cigarette to calm him down."Sean? What were you doing this late?”Anne's voice came from behind and it immediately made Sean hide the cigarette case and a lighter in his pajama pocket."I'm having trouble sleeping," Sean answered and Anne was now sitting beside him."You usually don't have insomnia. Is it because… Angel?” asked Anne carefully.Oh, Sean's heart reacted when he heard Angel's name again. The people around him seemed to deliberately not mention Angel's name, including Anne, but it seemed tha

Luckily there weren't many people in the lobby, if it's crowded here, Sean will certainly be talked about by many people."Don't call me like that," Sean said in a whisper.Cody's face that was originally looking happy slowly turned into a frown. Sean looked around, but he couldn't find Jessie."Did you come here alone?" asked Sean a little disbelievingly."Yeah, I'm here without mommy."Sean massaged his tense neck. Exactly what is Jessie planning again? How could Jessie have her son come here alone?Although hesitating, Sean finally said, “Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink something?”Cody nodded his head, then his index finger pointed to the coffee shop that was actually in the lobby. "The strawberry juice over there is really good, but yesterday mom was in a hurry to take me home.""Okay, you can drink strawberry juice again."Sean walked first to the co

    Sean no longer asked where Cody's house was because Sean was sure that Jessie still lived in their old house. Cody was amazed that Sean knew that."Wow. You know my house," said Cody.Cody's call made Sean comfortable because daddy's calls were too burdensome for him. "Of course I know. This house used to be my home.”Cody chuckled, then he got out of the car. Cody waited patiently for Sean to turn off the engine and get out of the car.

    "I didn't think the guest that came here was you," Steve said as soon as he saw Harvey in his office. They weren't close, let alone Harvey suddenly came here. He closed his conference room door, then he walked over to sit across from Harvey. “The last thing I remember is you hitting me when we met at the cinema. Are you here because you want to beat me up again?”Harvey laughed lazily. "I beat you when you're not working. You're in the office right now and if I do that, your employees will think I'm unethical.”"Then what are you doing here?"“Of course I want legal consultation. Aren't you a lawyer?" asked Harvey in a sarcastic voice. To Harvey, Steve looked more like a goddamn loser. The profession of attorney was not at all appropriate for Steve.“What case would you like to consult?” Steve is now starting to type on the laptop keyboard.“A murder case made up like an accident.”Steve gave h

    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.

    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

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
