"So, does Mr. Ashton want to eat now or later? If you're hungry, I can prepare it for you."Ashton paused his game for a moment. Then he turned to his house assistant."Later. Let's stick to the usual mealtime. Besides, I'm not hungry yet."Tina nodded and chose to excuse herself to continue her work. Meanwhile, Ashton resumed playing. Until not long after, the doorbell in his house rang. Shortly after, Tina entered again, then conveyed the news of who was visiting his house at this late hour."Sir, excuse me. Mrs. Gia is looking for Mr. Ashton outside."Ashton looked up. His brow furrowed."Gia?""Yes," Tina nodded. "She said she wants to visit Mr. Ashton."Ashton nodded and got up from his seat. He walked slowly, intending to approach Gia who was in the living room. There, he could see his female friend looking neat. Ashton could guess, surely Gia stopped by his house right after work."Gia."The woman in the white blazer immediately turned. She stood up, showing a face full of conc

Ashton murmured in full awareness. He was both amazed and astonished by what he was hearing. He had lost count of how many times he had heard Alice singing so melodiously from behind her bedroom door. Sometimes, he would even sit on the sofa in front of her room, listening carefully, enjoying each line of the song Alice sang. And this time, to hear more clearly, he pressed one ear against Alice's bedroom door.Like someone hypnotized, Ashton wouldn't move an inch until Alice finished singing the Taylor Swift song. When he was sure Alice was done, he would quickly leave to avoid being caught eavesdropping.In truth, Alice was an ideal wife. Ashton had tried hard to deny this, but his heart couldn't lie. He constantly remembered his father's, mother's, and sister's words during a conversation they had."Stop denying it. From any perspective, Alice is visually beautiful. I'm sorry if my words offend you, but personally, I think Alice is more beautiful than the late Miranda. She is easier

Alice laughed, showing she didn't believe Tina's words. Why would the 'Narnia Lion' be mesmerized by her singing? Why would he? Besides, what was so special about her voice? Had Ashton never heard someone sing up close or live before? Didn't Ashton have a good voice himself?"Don't exaggerate, Tina. My voice is just ordinary, far from being good or melodious.""That's your opinion. If he wasn't mesmerized by your voice, why would Mr. Ashton go to the trouble of eavesdropping? And he got caught too."Tina had a point. There must be a reason why Ashton did something so unusual. Imagine, that morning, he pressed his ear against Alice's door. Was he that curious?"But honestly, Mr. Ashton has never done something this random and funny before," Tina added. "He always maintained a cool and dignified image, even when the late Mrs. Miranda was around.""Really?"Tina nodded her head repeatedly. She was serious and not exaggerating in what she was conveying.As she recalled, while serving the

"Happy Birthday, Mr. Ashton."Several staff members were gathered in the lobby of the C&T Corporation building. Everyone, led by Gia, immediately focused all their attention on Ashton.Gia herself was smiling broadly. In her hands was a box of birthday cake specifically prepared to be given to Ashton, who had just stepped out of the elevator.Gia knew very well that today was the birthday of the man she had known for a long time. Gia even intentionally invited the staff to prepare a small surprise and then wished him well right during the break.Of course, this caught the attention of everyone passing by. This included Alice and Rumi, who were also in the lobby, intending to have lunch together."Oh my, Gia. Why did you go to the trouble of bringing a cake?"Ashton shook his head in disbelief. He hadn’t expected such a surprise, especially not in front of so many people."Don't worry, it wasn't any trouble. Besides, I intentionally invited everyone to wish you well, so you have more p

"Alice, why are you staring off into space like that?"After finishing work and on the way home, Rumi wondered why the girl sitting next to him had been so quiet. From her serious expression, it was clear that his sister-in-law was deep in thought.Rumi figured it must still be related to what happened at the office earlier that day. However, he didn’t know exactly what was making Alice so lost in thought."Alice... Alice Ashborne?""Hmmm, y-yes?"Alice snapped out of her thoughts and turned to face him, looking confused."What?""I asked, what are you thinking about? I’ve been trying to talk to you, but you’ve been silent. Are you thinking about Ashton?"Alice shook her head, not fully agreeing with Rumi's question."It's not really about Ashton. It's more about Gia.""Gia?" Rumi repeated. "What's up with Gia? Are you jealous of her?"Alice clicked her tongue loudly, clearly not accepting being accused of being jealous of Gia.Even though Alice was the legal wife and had more right t

If, on normal days, Ashton is the one who usually has breakfast and leaves for work first, it was different this morning. From the moment he entered the dining room until he finished his breakfast at exactly 7:30, Ashton did not see Alice at all.From time to time, Ashton glanced towards the entrance. He kept checking if Alice had arrived or not.Actually, Ashton deliberately took his time eating. He had a reason for looking for and waiting for his wife. After receiving a gift last night, he was eager to see Alice this morning. Yes, because he was in a good mood, he wanted to thank her for what she had prepared and given him the night before."Mr. Ashton, you must be looking for Ms. Alice, right?"Tina, who had come in to clear the dishes, teased. Observing her boss's actions, she was sure that Ashton was waiting for and looking for his wife."No, I'm not," Ashton replied, sounding a bit proud. Deep down, he thought that if he acted unusually, he wouldn't be questioned or bothered. Th

Alice sighed deeply. It was only her first day working under Ashton's supervision. Just a few minutes after Rumi left, her husband and boss at the office gave her so much work.First, she was asked to correct a stack of sketches of several buildings. Then she had to create sample reports to be submitted to the developers. Ashton seemed to intentionally give her a lot of tasks."I've done all the reports, sir. You just need to check and evaluate the rest."Alice handed over several documents and placed them on Ashton's desk. Then she waited, observing her husband who was now starting to check each report she had completed."You're supposed to be smart. Even for something simple like this, you make mistakes."Ashton sighed, then pointed his finger, deliberately pointing to a part of the document that he thought wasn't right."Where's the calculation here? You're good at math, aren't you?"Alice sighed deeply, leaning forward to see where Ashton's finger was pointing. After a while, her

"Swear by whatever, Ashton couldn't even find words anymore to express what actually happened to him. Whether this falls into the category of disaster or unimaginable luck. With the intention to help, it ended up as a surprise.Never before had it crossed Ashton's mind when he was about to catch Alice who was falling, that his body would get pulled in, ending up awkwardly on top of her, accidentally kissing her right on the lips.All this time, Ashton had been painstakingly maintaining a distance. He was extremely careful not to touch Alice. But when God wills and intervenes, what can he do?Of course, Ashton could only stay silent, occasionally feeling what Alice's lips offered to him.Oh God.Ashton was sure he must be crazy!Ashton realized, as their eyes met, his dignity must have plummeted, even perhaps parachuted.But if one wanted to bother thinking, this event was unintentional.Yes.Ashton believed this was just an unavoidable accident. Besides, it's partly Alice's fault, why

"Where have you been?"Alice sighed deeply. She had just arrived home and hadn't even had a chance to enter her room when she saw Ashton blocking her way. Her husband was sitting on the sofa right in front of the room, as if he had been waiting for her return."It's already eight o'clock, Alice." Ashton glanced at the digital clock on the wall in front of him. He lifted his chin, signaling Alice to look at it too. "You left for lunch and only come back now?""Did you forget? You're the one who asked me to accompany Mom for lunch. Who knew she would have all these shopping plans."Alice defended herself while taking repeated deep breaths. It wasn't her fault that she couldn't return to the office immediately after lunch and carry out her duties as an assistant.After accompanying Hana for lunch, instead of being taken back, her mother-in-law took her around to shop for various things. As a result, Alice was only taken home after everything was done."You can remind Mom that you have wo

Chapter 30

Alice rushed into the room, closing the door behind her. Intending to sit at her desk, she found Ashton deeply engrossed in something, looking serious.Yet, it was only half-past seven in the morning. There was still thirty minutes left to relax before starting work. Alice wondered why her husband had left so early today. And she was sure Ashton had skipped breakfast again, just like he had done a few times before. Typical!"You're so focused on making money that you forget to eat. But money isn't everything," Alice muttered while straightening things on her desk. Taking out a food box from her bag, she prepared to have her breakfast.Because she had a presentation scheduled with one of the project supervisors this morning, Alice deliberately chose to have her breakfast in the room. She thought it better to leave for work earlier than usual to avoid being late due to traffic."What were you saying, Alice?"Ashton interjected while still engrossed in his laptop work. Alice was sure his
