All Chapters of Accidental Marriage : A Professor Love Scandal: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

"Surprised you couldn't be reached, Dear? You usually never turn off your phone. Always let me know if you're coming home late. I worry that something bad might happen to you when you act like this," Airin grumbled, settling herself on the edge of the bed.Despite Fachri hugging and comforting her, Airin still wanted an explanation for why Fachri came home late without any notice at all."Ehhmm... I was dealing with issues and work at the office. And sorry, I didn't inform you because there was simply no time. I wanted to focus on work so that I wouldn't have a pile of tasks to leave behind at the university tomorrow," Fachri complained. He sat next to Airin, using his thighs as a pillow.Fachri's eyes closed. "Where's Via?" he asked when his gaze couldn't find Via."Via is in her aunt's room, Dear," Airin replied wearily. She was slightly disappointed that Fachri couldn't spare time for her, even just to let her know he would be coming home late."Why is Via sleeping there?""I had a

"There's good news for all three of you. The company's leader has invited us for lunch in an hour, in his office. So, tidy up your appearance to ensure you look neat and clean, even though you've been tired from touring all day. We'll gather back here in half an hour after I finish my business upstairs," the supervising lecturer bid farewell before heading to meet the company's management. He concluded his tasks before leaving his three students.Airin simply nodded. Having a little time to rest would be utilized wisely, especially since her chest felt sore from not pumping breast milk for too long. Without waiting any longer, Airin went to the bathroom to alleviate the discomfort before tidying up her appearance, as advised by the lecturer."Enough," Airin murmured to herself, inspecting her appearance from head to toe in a mirror in the bathroom. With limited time, she pumped just enough to relieve the discomfort. Afterward, she washed her face and reapplied a thin layer of makeup.

The positive thoughts that Airin had been clinging to have run out as she glances at the clock on the wall. It's four in the morning, and Fachri hasn't returned yet. She has tried calling their home phone but couldn't reach him. This only strengthens Airin's suspicion that Fachri knows Zidan was the one who brought her home.However, a glimmer of hope arises when she recalls that Fachri wasn't wearing his glasses. She desperately clings to the possibility that he might not have seen Zidan, preventing her from crying in the wee hours of the morning. Airin can't fathom living without Fachri by her side.Zidan is still in her heart, but Fachri is the reason she has been able to live until now. Without Fachri, she and Via wouldn't have been able to lead a decent life without being judged by others.When Airin hears the sound of a car entering the garage, the tears she's been holding back finally fall. She hastily wipes them away before running downstairs to open the door for her husband,

"How are you?"A bit of small talk is certainly needed at this moment before delving into the core issue, discussing Airin, his legitimate wife.Fachri appears relaxed as he enters Zidan's office. It's as if he possesses a powerful weapon to change Zidan's mind about getting close to Airin."Good. Very well, actually. Especially when I received the news that my wife's favorite cousin is visiting," Zidan replies.Like Fachri, Zidan tries to engage in small talk to calm himself down. Fachri's current visit involves the name Airin, a connection from their past that no one knows about."Ah, that's not true. I'm the cousin who always gets into arguments. I'm sure you know that," Fachri jokes, lightening the mood. It doesn't seem right to jump straight into the core issue. He wants to embrace Zidan first before laying all the cards on the table."Haha, you're right," Zidan agrees, straightening his back. "If I may ask, what makes a super busy lecturer like you take the time to meet me? Ther

"Waking up early for a change," mumbled Airin as she felt her bare back being gently touched. Her body tensed as Fachri playfully teased her, a routine that he always did when waking up, and Airin still remained in his embrace."Today, there's a lot of work at the campus and office that will keep me busy from morning until midnight. If I get too tired, I might just stay overnight at the office. That's why I woke up early so I could be with you because we won't meet at all today," Fachri complained. He was tired from the overwhelming workload but hadn't been able to focus on one thing.Considering that Airin still needed supervision during her internship, Fachri couldn't resign from the university anytime soon. Once he did, he wouldn't be able to interfere in Airin's campus affairs. Meanwhile, Airin was still interning at Zidan's workplace, and it didn't feel completely safe to release her entirely. If Zidan misbehaved again, Fachri could only attack him as Airin's husband.According t
