"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?"

    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

    From behind, someone called out. Turning around, Alex's eyes widened instantly. He felt like he wanted to die upon realizing that Nicole was already standing in front of him."You've been here all this time? Why didn't you pick up my call, huh? I've been trying to reach ----""Oh, so Nicole is here too?"At that moment, Aurora suddenly arrived. Without warning, she interjected. This immediately startled both Alex and Nicole, leaving them stiff."Did you two not plan to meet here?"Alex shook his head repeatedly, clearly denying Aurora's accusation just now."No, Sweetheart. I wouldn't dare break a promise.""Okay."Alex looked very confused and nervous. His face turned pale. Suddenly, he was stressed about what explanation he would give to his wife.Meanwhile, Aurora chose to sit back down. Looking at Nicole, she smiled."Why are you just standing there? Come, sit down. Might as well join us. You're probably here to eat, right?""Aurora ---"Aurora raised her hand in the air, signalin

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

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."
