LOGIN"Actually …"Ghea still wore an expectant expression, waiting for Daniel to explain what had made him act so strangely after taking that phone call. She was certain her husband was hiding something."Fine, if you really don't want to talk about it, I won't force you."Ghea felt disappointed. However, she decided not to press him further and accepted that Daniel simply didn't want to share it with her.Lying down with her back turned toward Daniel, Ghea briefly looked over her shoulder and told him to go to sleep soon. Daniel did as she asked, still choosing to leave her question unanswered.Yet, no matter how hard Daniel tried to cover it up and keep Ghea in the dark, the matter concerning Nathan eventually reached his wife anyway—albeit by accident.That morning, Daniel was speaking with Richie, who was set to take over some of his responsibilities at the company. At first, Daniel only discussed business matters, until he brought up that despicable man named Nathan."Nathan was ultim
“You just got out of the hospital. Get some rest! Stop thinking about things we can do another time. We can do them tomorrow.”Daniel held back a smile at Ghea’s refusal, which he felt carried a sweet promise. “Tomorrow? So all I have to do is wait until tomorrow, right?” The man laughed happily, his mischievous grin following Ghea as she walked out of their bedroom.Ghea rubbed her chest, which was still pounding wildly because of her husband’s antics. She felt lucky to have managed to escape Daniel.Humming cheerfully after feeling her baby monster kick for the first time, Ghea wanted to share the happy news with her mother-in-law.When she reached the living room, Ghea frowned upon noticing that Nova wasn't in her favorite spot. She tried heading toward the dining room instead, only to run into Richie.“Who are you looking for?”“Mom. Where is she?”“She went to a socialite gathering.”“Oh...” Ghea merely responded to her brother-in-law’s information with a blank expression. Her so
Only heavy sighs and flowing tears signaled just how immensely relieved Ghea truly was. Upon entering the room, she found Daniel half-reclining, being spoon-fed by Nova. Noticing Ghea’s presence in the room, Daniel pursed his lips and asked his mother to stop feeding him.Stepping closer, with clear crystals endlessly dripping from her eyes, Ghea kept gazing at Daniel’s face, which was also streaked with tears. Unable to bear the sight, Nova chose to leave the room. She even pushed back Richie, who was already on the verge of entering his brother's room.“Hey!” Daniel greeted her, reaching for Ghea’s left hand.His wife was still crying; Ghea even used the back of her right hand to cover her mouth so the sound of her sobs wouldn't be heard. Her heaving chest and trembling shoulders showed just how emotional and overwhelmed with relief she was to see Daniel awake.“Niel!”Ghea wiped Daniel’s damp cheek. Sinking into the bedside chair right beside her husband, she clutched his hand tigh
“Niel, seriously? I can still walk on my own.”Ghea stared at the wheelchair the nurse had just brought into her room. She was embarrassed by Daniel's behavior, which she considered completely over the top. She should have been discharged from the hospital yesterday, but her husband had asked the doctor to keep her under observation for two more days.“The distance between this room and the lobby is quite far. I don't want you walking. If you don't want to use the wheelchair, I'll carry you all the way downstairs.”“Go ahead! You're probably just bluffing!” Ghea challenged him.But to her surprise, Daniel actually did it. Her husband immediately scooped her into his arms. Ghea gasped, never expecting Daniel to be this bold.“Put me down!” Ghea demanded, struggling in his arms, but it was too late. Daniel, who seemed to have completely lost all sense of shame, instructed the nurse to bring his wife's bag. However, just as he was about to step out of the room, Nova and Richie arrived.“
Daniel wiped Ghea's cheeks as she stared at his sleep-creased face. Daniel didn't answer his wife's question, busy instead brushing stray locks of hair from her face. “I—I'm sorry!” Ghea said. Even though she had stopped crying, her breath was still ragged. “The baby monster, s-he’s okay, right?” Nodding his head, Daniel gently rubbed Ghea's stomach. “He’s strong like his mama, but I’m sorry, there seems to be one thing that’s going to disappoint you.” “What?” A trace of sadness returned to Ghea’s face. “Tell me! What is it?” Ghea shook her husband's arm in fear. Daniel firmly grasped her hand and then said, “I already know the gender of our baby monster, and I’m not going to let anyone know, including you.” Ghea slapped Daniel’s shoulder, realizing he was teasing her. “You think I can’t just ask the doctor?” “I’ve already silenced the doctor, he wouldn't dare. Only I am allowed to tell you.” Ghea puffed out her cheeks, her annoyed expression only making her husband even more
Abel saw with her own eyes as Ghea was dragged away by Nathan. She had intended to step closer, but Abel realized she wouldn't be able to help Ghea much. Without a second thought, Abel hurried back to the ballroom. She searched for Daniel, ignoring the greetings of several friends. Abel's head turned this way and that, searching for her former lover. She even lifted her gown and ran when her eyes caught sight of Daniel, who was chatting while holding a crystal glass in his hand. With her breath still coming in gasps, Abel called out Daniel’s name, successfully making the man turn around. Frowning in confusion because Abel looked slightly disheveled, Daniel chose to stay silent and listen. “Your wife, Ghea! Nathan dragged her into the men’s bathroom.” Daniel's eyes widened in full shock. He panicked instantly and slammed his glass onto the table. Caring about nothing else, Daniel left his friends behind without even asking which floor the men's bathroom was on. “Which floor
