While at the nightclub, Darla touched her own lips. She could still feel the warmth from the handsome man's lips. Even though Darla knew that Sean was drunk and he thought of Darla as Angel, but still Darla still couldn't hide her blushing cheeks.
"Do I really like him?" Darla asked herself. "Oh, that's impossible. Moreover, Sean is Harriet's father. It's quite embarrassing."
"I didn't think you were relaxing like this."
A male voice startled Darla. It was a voice so familiar and at the same time she hated. Darla looked to her left. Steve was sitting there sipping his glass of wine.
"Since when have you been here?" Darla asked surprised. She who was originally feeling in love became annoyed. Steve's presence ruined her mood.
"Since you questioned whether you liked Sean or not." Steve glanced at her with a perverted smile.
Darla swore that she hated Steve so much. She glanced around the club. How could Steve set foot in this nightclub after B
“So, is my answer correct or not? Hey, Darla? Are you daydreaming?”Noah shook Darla's arm repeatedly because his older sister seemed lost in thought. Darla came to her senses, then she spoke, "What did you say?""God, what are you daydreaming about?" Noah asked tilting his head. Previously Darla was checking Noah's answer from the book she bought, but suddenly Darla fell silent and lost in thought."No, I'm not daydreaming about anything," Darla replied, then she turned her attention back to the book she was holding."You're bad at lying." Noah chuckled because Darla wasn't very good at lying.Darla flicked Noah's forehead lightly. "Why do you like to act so knowledgable?""Ow, it hurts!" Noah squealed excessively.Darla shook her head, then she reached for a pen to double-check Noah's answer. What Darla thought was true. Noah is a smart kid. Maybe Noah seems lazy to study, but there is no doubting his thinking ability. H
“Noah, why are you going back and forth to the bathroom? We're almost late!”Darla knocked loudly on the bathroom door. It's 7 and the test for Noah is at 7:30. The distance from the house to the elementary school is quite close, but this is a Monday morning. The streets would definitely be busier than usual and that made Darla nervous."Wait a minute. My stomach is still churning!” Noah shouted from inside the bathroom."I'll give you a minute, otherwise I won't send you to school!"“Gosh!”Now Darla returned her focus to her cellphone. Why is it so hard to get a taxi? Once again she tried to order a taxi using an online application. If she fails to get a taxi again, how will he and Noah get to school? This is an important day for Noah.Alright, because it was difficult to get a taxi online, so she decided to look for a taxi in front of the house. Darla finally made her way to the front door, but to her surpris
This situation suddenly happened. Sean was driving, then Darla was beside him, and Noah was in the middle seat. Until this moment Sean didn't understand where they were going because he just followed Darla's words. When Darla told him to turn left, Sean would do it. Actually he wanted to know, but if he asked Noah would be surprised."Turn right. There is a car park inside the school,” Darla said, then she unbuckled her seatbelt.It let Sean know that their destination was an elementary school. It looks like Noah will start school this year. Since Sean already knew their destination, he asked, “Why is it so quiet in here? Shouldn't there be other students?""I'm going to be tested for elementary school, Uncle Sean," Noah replied."Tests? Is it really something like that?” Sean asked in surprise."I'm going to test because I didn't go to kindergarten before. Isn't this what is called discrimination?" Once again Noah mentions discri
Darla looked at the box of milk in her hand. The milk box was still tightly closed while Sean had finished half of it. Sean bought her a box of milk from the school cafeteria. This is an elementary school, so the food and drink options here are tailored. After that Sean ate a piece of bread in just a few seconds. The man beside her looked very hungry."I haven't had breakfast," Sean said because Darla's eyes looked disgusted with him.“Yes, it's obvious. I'm also sure you haven't cleaned yourself up.""That is none of your business."Darla rolled her eyes. Sean doesn't seem like someone who likes to be criticized for his appearance, but Sean also has to be aware that he looks really disheveled. Finally Darla put a straw into the milk hole. She drank the box of milk Sean gave her. Actually she hasn't had breakfast either because she's too busy worrying about Noah. Darla makes sure that Noah is in top shape and calm"Tell me everything. From st
Sean is now driving his car. He left Darla who was still waiting for Noah at school. To Sean, Darla's explanation made no sense at all. Maybe Sean could believe he almost went into the wrong house, but he doubted that last night he kissed Darla on the lips. "That can't be happening," Sean said, shaking his head. Sean's car stopped at a red light. He looked at his shirt which had left Darla's lipstick on it. Uh, why is Darla messing up his life lately? And why is it that every time Sean gets drunk, he ends up seeing Darla? The sound of the horn in the back of Sean's car woke him up. He turned the car toward the office. If he returned home then it would take more time. It's already 8 in the morning. He'd better take a shower and clean himself in the office. Besides, today is Monday. Sean will keep an extra eye on his employees who may arrive late. Sean admits that lately he seems sensitive to the things around him. He also does not hesitate to scold his
After Sean left, Darla fell silent in the chair she was sitting in. In her hand was also still a box of milk that Sean had given her. Darla didn't know why she felt quite sad that Sean had left first. Darla should have realized that Sean was dropping her and Noah just out of urgency. It's not like Darla and Sean have a close relationship.Darla threw the half-filled box of milk into the trash. She'd never liked chocolate-flavored milk, but she could afford to drink that much. It's all because of Sean. Previously she didn't feel anything, but now her stomach was quite queasy from the chocolate milk she drank.Just then, the classroom door opened. Noah appeared with a big smile even he ran to hug Darla's waist. What's this? Could this be a good sign?"How was your test? Can you answer all the questions correctly?” Darla asked a little worriedly.Noah was still grinning widely, then he nodded his head a few times. "All those questions are no match for
As Noah screams with joy, Darla forgets something. She left her purse at home. Previously, Darla even borrowed Sean's money to register fees for Noah's test. To return home was not a problem because Darla had a transport card in her bag. So Darla and Noah could only go home by bus, but without stopping at the steakhouse."Noah, I'm sorry. Actually I forgot to bring my wallet,” Darla said with a chuckle.Noah's eyes narrowed. "What?"“We have to go home first to get the wallet. After that we will go to the steakhouse by taxi.”“Then how did you pay for the test registration fee before? Didn't you use a card?” asked Noah in surprise.“Didn't you see that Sean put the pin on the card? I borrowed his money." Darla chuckled awkwardly once again.“Gosh, you're so careless, Darla. How do you always have to need someone else's help?" Noah nags like an adult.Darla's face turned annoyed. Her carelessne
Darla only took her wallet and umbrella, after that she came out of the house. Just as she was about to lock the door, she heard Harriet and Noah's laughter running towards her. Why wasn't Anne with them?"Harriet, where's your grandma?" Darla asked in surprise.“Oh, my grandmother will attend a church meeting this afternoon. So she's not coming with us."Harriet's answer coincided with Anne appearing in the doorway. Anne was about to walk towards them, it made Darla step her feet too to come closer. So they met in the middle of their respective homes."Darla, thanks for inviting me too, but I'm so sorry I didn't come with you," said Anne feeling guilty.Darla shook her head. "It's okay, madam. After all, it's just a lunch.""Don't call me that. You can call me Grandma, like Noah and Harriet,” replied Anne with a warm smile."Oh, alright." Darla's cheeks reddened because she felt touched. This also proves that their relati
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
