Part 68

Phoebe scoffed. "You're so arrogant!" she sneered. Julie Hampton looked at Flavia with a doubtful gaze, a hint of hesitation disturbing her thoughts. What Flavia said wasn't entirely wrong, but Julie also didn't want to give in so easily. "Via, I know that you and Gladwin love each other. But love won't last if there are no offspring between you. Eventually, that love will fade along with Gladwin's desire and need for offspring. And I also want my son to have descendants, not just for Gladwin." "Then is your patience only up to one year? Even you were patient when Uncle Harry didn't have children for five years of marriage. So why can't Grandma be patient with me and Uncle?" "Because Phoebe is right, I'm not young anymore. Because I don't know when I'll die." "Tapi pilihanmu sekarang juga belum tentu membuatmu memiliki keturunan dari Uncle." "Why not?" Phoebe asked cynically. "I am fertile. I can give Gladwin as many descendants as he wants," she boasted. Flavia reluctantly gla

Part 69

Flavia looked back at her grandmother. "I just don't want you to regret and ultimately lose your beloved son." Flavia tried to change her grandmother's mind again. "Give me the letter. If within two months I still haven't conceived, then I will willingly hand it over to you. "But let me tell you again. Won't you change your mind? Because in the end, it won't just be me who's hurt by being forced to step back. But you and Uncle will also bear the consequences. "I don't want you and Uncle to end up hating each other. Uncle's heaven is at your feet, and I also want your blessing. But if it's done like this..." Flavia saw doubt in her grandmother's eyes, but it seemed Phoebe's whisper strengthened her resolve. Flavia smiled, taking a sheet of divorce papers. Meanwhile, the document containing her statement to give permission for Gladwin to marry Phoebe and make her his second wife remained untouched. She folded the paper and held it tightly. "Grandma, you don't need to worry. I won't

Part 70

Their honeymoon plans were ultimately delayed for quite a while because Gladwin couldn't take his annual leave as his colleague had already applied for it earlier. Combined with his property company receiving numerous orders, Gladwin's time was suddenly consumed. Flavia didn't mind. For her, as long as her husband returned home healthy and safe, that was already happiness. As for the remaining time she had, it had significantly dwindled against her wishes. Their marriage was now nearing its first anniversary. They were just counting down the days until their anniversary. Anxious? Of course, Flavia was anxious. But she had made a decision, and she wouldn't waver. Flavia knew her decision would hurt them both, especially Gladwin. But Flavia was confident that this was a test in their marriage. No life is without trials, isn't it? Even compared to marriages out there, the trials they faced weren't that significant.&

"Are you cooking something?" "I'm making grilled ribs. Would you like some?" "Of course, I would." Flavia followed her mother to the kitchen. The woman was now busy with the griddle and the marinated ribs. "How was your vacation?" Her mother asked without turning around. "Tiring," Flavia replied briefly. "Tired from sightseeing or..." "Let's not talk about it." Flavia returned with steamed vegetables, pouring them onto a plate. "I know, you're still newlyweds, must be in the honeymoon phase," teased Claire, which made Flavia frown in annoyance. The large grilled ribs were served with chili sauce and vegetables. They ate accompanied by conversation about Flavia's vacation. After the meal, Flavia invited her mother back to the sofa. She had to discuss her decision and find someone who would support it. Flavia began by recounting the agreement she had made with her mother-in-law. Who was none other than Cla

"And I looooove you soooo much too, Mrs. Flavia Quirino," he replied, then kissed the top of Flavia's head. "Whatever happens in the future, you have to believe that I truly love and cherish you. Do you believe me?" Flavia chose to bury her face in her husband's chest. Gladwin tensed. "What's wrong?" Gladwin nudged Flavia's body, urging her to look up without a sound. His eyes, once sleepy, now narrowed sharply. "What's going on with you? I've been hearing you say things like this lately. You've been apologizing to me too. What's really going on? What are you planning?" Gladwin's voice carried a hint of fear in every word he uttered. Flavia smiled reassuringly. "Have you forgotten, dear? Husbands and wives should always ask for forgiveness before sleeping. Why? Because we never know when the Angel of Death will come. And a wife's heaven lies in her husband's pleasure. A wife who's angry with her husband will be cursed by

Part 73

Gladwin opened the envelope containing the two sheets of paper with overwhelming anger. One of the papers he opened was a divorce petition with Flavia's signature at the bottom. Meanwhile, the second paper was a statement containing Flavia's agreement to make Phoebe his second wife. Unlike the first sheet, the second one had no signature from his wife at all. Furious, Gladwin crumpled both papers into shapeless forms and tossed them roughly. "Stay calm, Gladwin, stay calm," he muttered to himself. He tried to take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Control yourself because getting angry won't solve the problem, he muttered to himself again. "Flavia's love is only for you," Galdwin reminded himself. And didn't Flavia also say she would come back? Gladwin had to control himself. Control his anger even though what he wanted now was to go to his mother's house and scold the woman who had given birth to her

Part 74

Abigail had told this to Gladwin's twin siblings, Claire Hampton. After hearing her story, their aunt could only shed tears. Even hearing Jonas' story about her uncle during work inevitably made them sad. Her uncle didn't become a workaholic like men typically do when stressed. Or suddenly become a drunkard to lose his senses. Even in certain situations, Abigail feared her uncle would withdraw, daydream, and cry. But her uncle never did any of those things. Instead, her uncle spent more time with his nieces and nephews. And every time she saw Gladwin at Claire's house, Abigail heard her aunt apologize repeatedly, not to Gladwin but to her husband. Feeling guilty because the cause of all this pain—especially Flavia's departure—was her mother, Julie Hampton. And what hurt was that Antony never responded to those apologies except with a sad expression, much like the one Gladwin displayed. Consciously or not, Flavia was a precious fi

Part 75

Even when Gladwin hastily married Flavia without notice, Abigail's father didn't get angry or criticize his decision. Because he knew Gladwin made decisions with careful consideration. Just like Claire and Antony's marriage. Abigail's father never criticized it even though Julie Hampton initially objected due to Antony's status and age. According to him, that was Claire's life. The happiness and sadness, Claire would enjoy them. Unless his siblings caused trouble and embarrassed the family, only then would Abigail's father intervene. And now, he was quite surprised to see his mother interfering too much in Gladwin's life. Abigail's father knew the reasons behind Julie's actions, but he didn't condone them. Whatever the reason, marriage was not something to be used as a bargaining tool. It wasn't a game where people could switch roles as they pleased. "I will never divorce Flavia, Brother. So you can relax," Gladwin repli

Part 76

As promised, Gladwin arrived at Phoebe's house the next day with Abigail. Somehow, Phoebe's house had been transformed with quite lavish decorations. It seemed Penelope didn't want her daughter's wedding to go unnoticed by others. Neighbors had already gathered when Gladwin and Abigail's car pulled into Phoebe's driveway. Julie Hampton was already there, as were Abigail's parents. Antony and Claire were absent because Gladwin hadn't informed them about his marriage to Phoebe. He also hadn't informed his other brothers. Looking at the decorations in Madsen's home, Gladwin couldn't guess how much Phoebe had spent on everything, but he didn't care. His wedding with Flavia—though it had been a simple affair at the hospital without decorations or guests—had been far more beautiful and meaningful to Gladwin. Gladwin exchanged marriage vows, greeted by the guests. Phoebe, appearing in a beautiful wedding gown and fl

"Pizza?" Gladwin asked back, furrowing his brow, and Jonas nodded enthusiastically. Gladwin seemed to ponder for a moment before nodding in agreement. "Okay. I'll change clothes first. Wait for me in the parking lot," he ordered before walking away. Jonas nodded and went to the male nurse's changing room to freshen up. Just as he finished changing clothes, he heard his phone ringing, and Abigail's name appeared on the screen. Jonas finally knew the reason why Gladwin had been looking so gloomy recently. Eventually, Abigail told him everything. About Flavia leaving suddenly and Abigail asking for his help to watch over Gladwin because she was worried her uncle would go crazy. But other than being quiet, there was nothing strange about Gladwin. Except for today. "Is your surgery finished?" Abigail asked over the phone. "How is he doing today?" She asked without preamble. "We just finished. We're about
