Aurora gazed silently at Alex as he packed his clothes into the suitcase. Last night, after sulking for a few days, her husband finally approached her, though his tone still sounded cold. He spoke to Aurora, asking for permission to go on a business trip out of town until Monday.Being reconciled, Aurora felt relieved. Regarding the out-of-town business trip, she chose not to comment much, letting Alex go to avoid prolonging the argument."I'm leaving now," Alex said, rising. He walked slowly towards Aurora, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. "I might be home by Monday afternoon. I'll pick you up from work."Alex then lowered his face, kissing Aurora's forehead and both cheeks in turn, then hugged his wife before leaving."Take care on the road. Let me know when you reach your destination.""Sure. I'll definitely let you know. Also, sorry for getting angry with you yesterday.""I've already forgiven you," Aurora replied promptly. After all, she was naturally the type to forgive e
"You're really surprising me by inviting me to eat out on a Sunday like this."At a Korean restaurant, Aurora and Velia were seen enjoying lunch. It's rare for both of them to hang out like this. Besides being busy with patients, on weekends, Aurora usually spends her time with Alex. That's why when Velia picked her up and invited her to have lunch together at the mall, Aurora immediately agreed."Let's just call it some fresh air. Besides, aren't you tired of our packed schedules this week? Your brother Asher really doesn't give us any time to breathe."Aurora laughed. She couldn't deny that Asher always puts his all into his work. If it doesn't meet the standards he sets, don't expect any time off from him."Just be patient. Who knows, maybe after this our salaries will increase by 100%.""For me, a raise in salary might make me happy and more motivated to work. But you? You're a shareholder too. Whether your salary goes up or not, doesn't it make any difference?""Not at all!" reto
For Alden Maximus, six years isn't a short time for him to be in a serious relationship with Aurora Harperwood.Indeed, before successfully entering the relationship, he had to work hard. He struggled to win over and gain the hearts of Aurora's famously strict parents. Alden had to prove that he was the best man worthy of accompanying their daughter.However, life doesn't always go smoothly or according to our desires. There are always trials, stumbling blocks, and minor disagreements that occur. Especially when Alden pursued his education in America.Being separated by distance and limited time to meet, they often got involved in misunderstandings. Moreover, Aurora often felt neglected. Yet, there were strong reasons why Alden couldn't give his full attention to his sweetheart at that time.The once intimate relationship slowly started to drift apart. The climax was when they both stopped communicating in Alden's final year of education.Alden thought everything was still okay. Even
There are so many reasons why a person like Alex Wildblood would risk continuing the forbidden relationship with Aisya Nicole Farasya.In comparison, Alex realizes Aurora is born into wealth, intelligent, capable, and independent. His wife always solves all her problems by herself, which makes him bored. Alex's ego as a man is undoubtedly pricked. He feels small and insignificant.Nicole, on the other hand, is very different. Besides her beautiful appearance and incredibly sexy figure, Alex likes it when Nicole is not shy to show her spoiled attitude.With Nicole, Alex feels perfect as a man. She, Aurora's cousin, appreciates him greatly, making herself a support and the only person most comfortable to share stories with.Often, Nicole seeks Alex's opinion to make decisions. Moreover, she always complies with whatever Alex commands.Even though it may seem trivial, because of these small things, Alex feels comfortable. As a bonus, the sexy woman always surprises him in unusual ways an
Aurora sat in her office, lost in thought. She had been pondering hard, trying to recall who among the Lumire staff she could trust to ask for help.Actually, if she wanted it easy, Aurora could ask her father. But she was sure he would ask for what purpose she needed such information.So, instead of having to come up with a reason that would ultimately end up being a lie, Aurora tried to find out on her own so she could quickly investigate the company's fund flow that Alex might have misappropriated.Before long, Aurora jumped in her seat. Remembering something, she murmured softly."Oh my, why didn't I think of that? I could ask Mr. Sandy for help. After all, he's Papa's trusted person who has stayed with Lumire until now."Aurora smiled as she nodded repeatedly. But shortly after, her shoulders slumped again. It was as if a problem suddenly approached and instantly deflated her spirits."But, I don't have his phone number. Asking Papa would be like signing my own death warrant."Au
Aurora had just finished cleaning up. Wearing a slightly thin nightgown, she stepped out of the bathroom with her hair loose and still half wet.Alex, who was sitting leaning on the bed while working on something from behind his tablet, immediately fell silent and watched. He observed carefully while pondering inwardly.For some reason, Alex felt that Aurora looked exceptionally beautiful and sexy tonight. Especially as the curves of her body were clearly visible through the satin nightgown she wore."You're not sleeping? What are you working on?" Aurora asked casually. She then sat next to Alex, getting ready to pull up the covers."I'm reading the emails that came in. But, I'm done with it now."Alex then placed his tablet on the nightstand. Shifting positions, he slowly approached Aurora."You look absolutely gorgeous tonight," he genuinely praised."So, wasn't I beautiful before?" Aurora retorted.Alex hurriedly shook his head. In his eyes, Aurora looked even more beautiful than u
It's possible that Aurora is quite lucky. She even feels like this time God is on her side.After getting Sandy's contact that she took directly from Alex's phone, the next day Aurora immediately contacted him. Making an appointment, then conveying her intention to ask for help. Aurora had to act quickly. She didn't want to waste any more time investigating and gathering various pieces of evidence to trap her miserable husband."I need Lumire's financial report for the past year. I know this isn't Mr. Sandy's department. But, I believe only Mr. Sandy can help me get it."At that moment, Sandy was a bit puzzled. How could he not be, knowing that Aurora is the daughter of the company owner and also one of the shareholders? It wouldn't be difficult for her to ask directly without going through an intermediary. But, after thinking carefully and listening to Aurora's explanation, Sandy realized that Aurora indeed needed his help."Alright. I'll try to get what Mrs. Aurora asks for."As a g
"Which dress do you think I should wear tonight?" Aurora asked as she stood in front of the wardrobe after finishing her shower. Setting aside her ego, she intentionally sought Alex's opinion to make him feel valued.Anyway, before surprising him in a few hours, Aurora wanted to please her husband's heart. She didn't hesitate to act so affectionate and intimate."White, black, gold, or silver?" Alex, already prepared and sitting on the edge of the bed, narrowed his eyes. Seriously considering, he weighed which color and style of dress would be suitable for his wife to wear tonight."Black seems to be the best option.""This one?" Aurora pointed to the dress in the front row."Yes. That one would look great on you. But, regardless of the color and style chosen, you always look beautiful, Aurora."Aurora smiled. She picked up the black dress Alex chose, then continued to step forward. Approaching Alex, who was still sitting, looking at her."So, do you think I'm beautiful?"Alex nodded
Over the past three years, Aurora has thoroughly enjoyed her new role as a mother. While continuing to dedicate herself as a pediatric specialist, Aurora has not neglected her other responsibilities, including fulfilling her duties as a wife.Every day, before heading to work, Aurora bathes her sons. She ensures that Azka and Alula have breakfast, drink milk, and meet all their nutritional needs.Luckily, Alden also helps out. He willingly shares the tasks with her. If Aurora is busy bathing and dressing the children, then Alden helps prepare breakfast.Usually, when Aurora and Alden are working, Elenna helps take care of and watch over their children. At first, Aurora hesitated. But, because Elenna insisted under the guise of being a companion to stave off loneliness, she allowed her mother to be assisted by one assistant in handling their children while she was at the hospital until the evening."Are you sure you want to take Azka and Alula out by yourselves?" Elenna asked Aurora ov
Both of Alden's eyes looked wet and swollen. He even cried softly as he accompanied Aurora for an hour through the childbirth process.Since Aurora's condition was stable and optimal, she delivered through a normal process as planned. Step by step, following Alissa's instructions, Aurora tried to comply.While tightly holding Alden's hand, Aurora tried to complete the childbirth process. Until finally, the little angel they and perhaps the entire extended family awaited, was born safely, and her cry immediately filled the delivery room."Congratulations Aurora, Dr. Alden. The babies were born safely and healthy. The first one is a girl, and the second one is a boy. Their conditions are stable, and there's nothing to worry about."Indeed, Aurora gave birth to twins today. Since entering the three-month pregnancy mark, Alissa had ensured that Aurora's pregnancy was indeed twins. However, the gender was difficult to predict as it changed a few times.Actually, Aurora and Alden didn't min
Aurora enjoyed her pregnancy journey from the first trimester until now, entering the third trimester. Although initially she had to go through bed rest several times and even experienced severe morning sickness, Aurora didn't complain at all. She went through it all with joy and happiness.During the first three months of her pregnancy, Aurora had to rest and not work at all. Honestly, she felt a bit bored having to spend all her time at home.Fortunately, Velia often visited the house bringing various kinds of food. She would engage in gossip and talk about anything to keep Aurora from feeling bored.Similarly, Elenna and Zendaya, these two middle-aged women also took turns visiting. They were so excited about Aurora's pregnancy that they came almost every day. And sometimes they even stayed overnight just to accompany and spend time with Aurora.Moreover, Alden also helped a lot. He was a responsive husband who was always ready to give his full attention and show his responsibility
Alden dashed to the emergency room when he heard the news that Aurora had passed out. Upon reaching the front of the room, he found Velia and Asher already standing there, waiting.Alden approached, wanting to ensure his wife's condition for himself. Despite faithfully waiting all along, he hadn't noticed anything strange about her all day. Now, he couldn't believe that Aurora had fainted like this out of the blue. If he had known something was wrong, he would have been the first to tell her to rest."Asher... Velia," Alden called out, his face still marked with worry. "How's Aurora? What happened? Why did she suddenly faint like this?"Asher shook his head, also unsure of what caused his sister to lose consciousness. Then Alden turned to Velia, who answered his curiosity."I think Aurora's just exhausted, Doc. Since this afternoon, I've noticed her looking a bit pale. She complained about back pain and seemed really tired, constantly moving from the second floor to the ground floor."
Alden just got home around eight o'clock at night. A bit worried, the man strode quickly towards the bedroom. He had been trying to reach Aurora since earlier, but instead of getting a response, it seemed like his wife was intentionally ignoring him.Alden had asked Velia, his colleague, who said that Aurora had been home since late afternoon. Also, confirming Aurora's presence through the house assistant, they confirmed that the lady had indeed been home since then.What puzzled Alden was why Aurora was ignoring him. Was his wife busy? Resting? Or perhaps angry and upset with him?That's why Alden wanted to make sure. Rushing into the room, he found Aurora sitting on the edge of the bed, her head bowed. Faintly, he could hear sobbing coming from her."Sweetheart..."Alden quickly approached. With a puzzled feeling, he sat down in front of his wife."What's wrong?" he asked with concern, clearly anxious. Afraid that something bad might have happened to her."Why are you crying like th
Aurora sighed wearily as she stared at the pregnancy test she held. The two red lines she had been hoping for seemed nowhere in sight, despite her numerous efforts.She wondered how many times she had tried this. It had been almost six months since she married Alden, but signs of pregnancy had yet to appear.Honestly, Aurora had been worried. There was a fear lurking in her mind that the rumors about her difficulty in conceiving might be true."Don't judge Alex. Who knows, maybe you also have difficulty getting pregnant or having children," Aurora remembered Savana's words vividly. Although they were long ago and she had initially dismissed them, recalling them now felt painful. Perhaps this was the curse Savana had given her."Just wait until after you get married. I'm sure you'll also have difficulty having children. So, don't think you're so great by blaming Alex as the reason you don't have offspring and eventually your marriage falls apart," Savana had said.Yet, Alden had tried
Alden was sure he was dreaming. Not wanting to lose that beautiful moment, Alden half-consciously pulled his blanket back. He held onto it tightly while praying not to wake up from his sleep. Truly, he wanted to enjoy the joy of life when called with endearing terms that delighted the ears.However, as his consciousness gradually faded, this time Alden felt something warm touching his lips. Opening his eyes slowly, he found Aurora, who had just finished unraveling a kiss, then smiled sweetly right in front of his face."Wake up, my dear husband. They said today we're going to pick up Mom and then accompany her to a charity event. You haven't forgotten, right?"Alden nodded. The man smiled."Yeah. I haven't forgotten. But, by the way, who was it that called me 'my dear husband'? Was it you? Or was I just dreaming?"Aurora sighed. She pinched Alden's cheek fondly. Hoping that he would realize he wasn't dreaming."That wasn't a dream, my dear husband. But yes, it was me who called you."
For a whole week, honeymooning was the most enjoyable and unforgettable experience in Alden's life."By God, every day and every second he spent in Switzerland with Aurora was the most enjoyable, and he didn't want to forget it in the slightest."Alden even vowed to make a routine agenda to spend more time with Aurora after this. Whether it's vacationing abroad or just exploring a few cities domestically, Alden didn't care. What mattered was quality time, spending time with his wife to refresh their minds from the busy schedules or activities they engaged in every day.Upon returning from their honeymoon to Switzerland, Alden immediately took Aurora to their new home. Two days later, they even held a celebration and invited the extended family to enjoy dinner together."The house is really nice. Definitely not cheap. Especially since all the furniture is brand new," praised Rayyen, who came this evening with his wife and children."Yeah, for real. It's spacious and totally my style,"
Alden admits, this is his dream to marry and make Aurora his life partner. Since the beginning of their relationship, he has been determined to be serious and to do his best to maintain their relationship so that it can progress to marriage.However, due to misunderstandings, he and Aurora had to part ways. It was even more painful to know that the person he loved so much ended up choosing and marrying another man.Alden's heart was shattered at that moment. It wasn't easy for him to heal from the wound. In fact, he was so unaccepting that he prayed to God for Aurora's marriage not to last long and to be unhappy. Never mind if his prayers were considered bad. What mattered was that he hoped the woman would return to him someday.And, it seems that God was moved to grant Alden's prayers that he uttered day and night. After going through hundreds of days, numerous seasons, and various obstacles, Alden finally succeeded in proposing to Aurora and making her his partner. A wife and also a
