Chapter 11

Because she was tired of being kind, this morning Alice decided to have breakfast by herself. After showering and performing the dawn prayer, she prepared and then enjoyed her breakfast without waiting for Ashton.She thought to herself, how nice. Just once she felt hungry. This time, Alice wouldn't waste her precious time waiting for someone who didn't care about her."Being obedient to one's husband is indeed a wife's duty. But, if her husband is as stubborn as a T-rex like Ashton, I might need to think again."Alice continued to grumble while eating the sandwich on her plate. The annoyance from last night hadn't faded within her. She even swore in her heart that from now on, she wouldn't bother being polite. Especially not pretending to be kind in front of Ashton."Anyway, from now on, I'll just be myself. Let him like it or not. It's his fault for constantly causing frustration."But, her complaints vanished when Ashton appeared in the dining room. Not wanting to be in the same ro

Fortunately, Alice was able to get through her first day of internship safely, comfortably, and without any issues. She repeated her prayers of gratitude numerous times. Whenever she was confused or encountered difficulties, Rumi promptly helped her. The man also didn't hesitate to provide explanations patiently and tirelessly.Whether it was because Alice was his sister-in-law or because Rumi always treated everyone kindly, one thing was certain: Alice was truly helped by his presence. When else would a deputy manager come down personally to explain and provide examples to intern employees?"Rumi, actually, you could have just explained earlier. I can try it myself, you know. There's no need to go through the trouble of providing examples. It might make the other interns uncomfortable."Alice whispered and glanced around discreetly. After exiting the elevator, she observed the staff bustling around, preparing to leave.Yes, Alice was worried. As a new employee, especially just an int

"We're going to the movies, right? As promised, it's my treat this time."On the other end of the line, Gladis's voice came through clearly, inviting Alice to go out. Since today was Saturday, Alice was off from her internship schedule as usual.Since last night, when chatting with Gladis on the phone, they had planned to go out this weekend, have a meal together, and also watch a movie at the cinema.Actually, activities like this were routine for Alice and Gladis, happening every other weekend. From the start, they even agreed to take turns treating each other.However, because Alice got married some time ago, the activities they were supposed to do last week had to be postponed temporarily. Until finally, finding the right time and opportunity, Alice and Gladis agreed to go today."Yeah, all set. I'm ready. Just need to do a quick touch-up and put on lipstick, then head straight to your place.""So, what movie are we watching for sure? Please not a cartoon," Gladis whined. She knew

"You have to maintain your attitude while at Mom's house. Show everyone that our relationship is fine and there's no problem."Before getting out of the car, Ashton gave a command-like warning to his wife. He asked Alice to behave sweetly and affectionately in front of the extended family gathered at his parents' house today.Like it or not, Ashton had to do this. He didn't want too many questions from both parents and relatives if he and Alice kept their distance."Yes, Mr. Ashton. Don't worry. I won't embarrass you.""Good," nodded Ashton. He then turned off the car engine. Gesturing for Alice to get out, he walked towards the main hall which seemed already crowded with relatives who had come.Alice paused for a moment, surprised. How could she not be surprised and awkward when entering her in-laws' house, Ashton suddenly grabbed her wrist without prior permission. Holding it casually, he walked side by side with Alice. Right now, they looked exactly like a real married couple. Affe

"What are you looking at?"Alice immediately scoffed upon hearing Ashton suddenly addressing her. Right now, she was still seated right next to her husband. Ashton himself was already lying down. He seemed to be getting ready to sleep.Forced to stay overnight and in order to please Ashton's mother who was celebrating her birthday, Ashton and Alice couldn't refuse. As a result, tonight they had to share a room, even if unwillingly, sharing the same bed.Earlier, to avoid any unwanted incidents, Ashton even divided the sleeping territory between them. He even used many pillows as dividers.As a result, the space to lay down became narrow and limited. But, what else could they do? If they didn't do this, they were worried that one of them might unintentionally do something unwanted."Who's doing the looking?""Well, you. You've been staring at me as if your eyes are about to pop out. Besides, I'm self-aware, I know I'm good-looking. But, you don't have to stare so much."Alice pulled a

"Tina, has Mr. Ashton already had breakfast? Or is he still in the room?"It's almost seven o'clock now. Usually, when Alice goes to the dining room to have breakfast or pack lunch, there's always Ashton, either enjoying his meal or getting ready for work.However, it's been almost ten minutes since Alice sat down. She hasn't seen her husband anywhere. That's unusual. Normally, every morning when he's off to work, they always cross paths. So, where is he this morning?"He left for work at half-past six, Ms. Alice," Tina replied.Hearing Tina's answer, Alice was slightly surprised. Instantly, she wondered why Ashton would leave for work so early in the morning. Did her husband have an urgent meeting, or perhaps a morning appointment with a big client?"He seemed to be in a hurry," Tina added. She looked like she was helping Alice pour milk into a glass. "I'm also puzzled why Mr. Ashton left so early this morning. Plus, he didn't even have time for breakfast at all.""So, Mr. Ashton did

However, as she was busy packing the food into the lunchbox, Alice faintly heard the sound of footsteps approaching her. Just as she looked up, she found a man smiling at her."Good morning, Miss."Alice clicked her tongue. Meanwhile, Tina shook her head in response to the unusual greeting from Rumi."Hi, good morning. Looking for Ashton?" Alice asked as she tidied up the lunchbox, which was already filled with food."No," Rumi shook his head. "I'm not looking for Ashton.""Then?""I came here on purpose to see you. Want to commute to work together."Alice looked up. Her brows furrowed instantly. After all, it wasn't unusual for Rumi to invite her to commute to work together."Together?"Rumi nodded."Because you often mention that you always commute to work alone using online motorcycles or public transportation. That's why, since I'm not that busy today, I took the time to stop by and invite you to commute to work together.""Is it okay?" Alice reassured."Yeah, it's okay. I'm singl

Ashton glanced at the circular watch on his wrist. Realizing it was almost seven in the evening, he prepared to head home. As he walked along the corridor of the company building towards the lobby, he felt occasional pain in the back of his head. He was also somewhat tense. Perhaps it was because he had been in front of his laptop for too long. Moreover, there was a lot of work today that drained his brain and energy."Ashton!"Just as he exited the elevator, he heard a woman calling out. Turning, Ashton spotted Gia, who seemed to be leaving."Yeah?""Are you heading home?"Ashton nodded slightly."Yeah. Want to go together?""No," Gia declined. "I brought my car. Maybe next time. You should hurry home, eat, and rest. You look really exhausted.""Yeah," Ashton nodded again. He confirmed what Gia had just said to him. He had been feeling tired all along. Fortunately, he was going home with a driver today. Not driving himself as usual. "My head also feels really heavy. Plus, there's a l

Chapter 19

Alice enjoyed her breakfast this morning peacefully and devoutly. At precisely fifteen minutes past seven, she finished and tidied up the empty plates to the kitchen.Upon returning to the second floor, she found Ashton's room still tightly closed. Usually, at this time, her husband would already be sitting neatly in the dining room. Did Ashton deliberately skip breakfast again? Or could something have happened to him?Standing in front of the bedroom door for a few moments, Alice's reverie was interrupted when she noticed Tina walking with a tray containing a glass of water and tea to be taken to her husband's room. Curious, she immediately approached and threw a question."For Mr. Ashton?"Tina nodded."Yes, Miss. It seems he's sick. Earlier, when he asked for tea, I saw his face was very pale.""Is Mr. Ashton sick?"Tina nodded again."From his appearance, he does seem sick. He looks weak.""Could it be his gastric illness acting up because he skipped dinner yesterday?""It's possi

Chapter 20

Pain or being unwell is something Ashton dislikes the most. Ah, surely everyone on this earth, if asked, would not like being sick.To say being sick is one of the things that can absolve sins, still, if there's a choice to be healthy, surely everyone would choose to live healthily.Ashton, accustomed to working, to being active, to doing anything productive and not idling, of course, feels extremely bored and listless in his current state of illness because he can only sit idly in his room.While sitting leaning against the headboard of the bed with a tablet in his hand, Ashton has repeatedly checked his email to ensure whether his assistant has sent him the documents he needs to read or sign.He has also repeatedly checked the time, hoping for the day to pass quickly so that he can return to work as usual tomorrow.Not only that, he has also gone in and out of his room countless times. From just reading books in the study, watching TV in the family room, or briefly sitting in the di
