Se connecterBefore Hans woke up, Viona had already checked on him several times. "Oh my God, Hans, you're still not awake?" Viona said, her hands on her hips as she looked at Hans, still buried under his thick blanket. This was the fifth time she had come to wake him up. Actually, it was pointless for Viona to wake him; he was still under the influence of alcohol. Just let him wake up on his own. Besides, Viona was tired of going back and forth in the room. Viona's gaze fell on Hans's phone, which he had placed on the nightstand. For some reason, she was curious about the woman Hans loved. Look. Even when Viona put her finger on Hans's phone to unlock it, he was completely oblivious. Viona quickly opened her gallery or messages, hoping for a clue. And she found it: Aria's photo and phone number. "She's beautiful," Viona praised, nodding slowly at the photo of Aria, which she was sure Hans had taken secretly. "So a man as cold as you can like a woman to this extent. Tsk!" Viona snorted,
There wasn't a single word in the fairly large living room. It wasn't like usual. When they were together, there was always something going on. Chatting, eating snacks, drinking, or, most importantly, making love. But this time, Elena and Jayden were lost in their own thoughts. Yes. Elena was thinking about Jayden because since returning from Aria's house, he had been acting so differently towards her. Elena seemed to ignore him. Let alone making love, Jayden was reluctant to even talk to her. He let the television's sound dominate the room. Enough was enough. Elena couldn't stand being treated like this any longer. "What exactly happened to you, Jayden?" Elena asked, finally breaking the silence between them. The man turned his head with a blank expression, as if he didn't know anything. Jayden raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" she asked. Elena snickered. "You're still asking what I mean? Since you returned from Aria's house, you've been cold to me, Jayden. Don't you
Hans didn't move. He looked anxiously at Viona. He was really curious about what he had said to make her mock him like that. But if he asked, it would hurt his pride. What a man with an incredibly inflated ego. "Do you want to know what you said to me last night?" Viona asked, challenging Hans. "N-no." Look! Even Viona had offered to tell him, but Hans still refused. Even in a critical situation, he had to maintain his composure. "Tsk! Liar!" Viona said, knowing full well how curious Hans was. She then leaned her face slightly toward Hans. "You said you were just rejected by the woman you like, Hans," she said, almost whispering. Oh shit! So Hans really said something embarrassing? Hans's eyes widened, and he couldn't stop cursing himself. "This is history! A Hans Alexander rejected by a woman, stressing himself out to the point of drinking. Isn't that phenomenal?" Viona said excitedly, ending with laughter that made Hans even more embarrassed, his face turning red unc
Viona stared in disgust at Hans, who was already half-conscious. The man had his face propped up on the table with one hand. "Why did he drink so much?" Viona muttered, looking at the several bottles of alcohol on the table. Just a few days ago, Hans had scolded her for drinking until she was drunk. Now he was doing it too. How inconsistent. "If you really want to get drunk, you should just drink at home," Viona repeated Hans's words from that day with a mocking expression. "Tsk! Nonsense! He's the one who wants to get drunk outside," she grumbled in annoyance. The girl then looked around. When her beautiful, round eyes caught sight of two men, she called out to them. "Can you please carry this man to my car?" Viona asked politely, smiling sweetly. Her smile instantly made the two men blush. Who could resist the charms of a beautiful and sexy girl like Viona? Of course not. "Of course, Miss!" one of them replied enthusiastically. "Thank you," Viona said, bowing politel
"Is Aria home yet?" Jayden asked, not looking up from the file he was reading and soon needed to sign."Yes, sir," Roy replied. "But Mrs. Aria..." Instead of continuing, Roy clamped his mouth shut. For some reason, his gaze suddenly shrank. He felt both fear and doubt.With no words to speak, Jayden looked up at Roy. "But what, Roy?" Jayden asked.The man in the gray-black checkered suit simply averted his gaze, refusing to look at Jayden. This made his boss even more certain that there was something he wanted to say but was afraid."Tell me, Roy! What's wrong? Did something happen to Aria or Juan?" Jayden demanded, starting to feel worried.Roy shook his head. "It's not like that, Mr. Jayden.""Then what's wrong? Why do you look so nervous?"Roy took a deep breath. If he really wanted to hide it from Jayden, he shouldn't have said anything. If things were going like this, Roy would have no choice but to tell his boss everything."Mrs. Aria went home with Mr. Hans," Roy said, looking
"You care?""Of course I care. I'm your husband, Aria Kates!" Jayden said emphatically, refusing to be denied.Aria was unmoved as Jayden's voice rose. She stared at him with a look that was difficult to shake.Husband.One word that made Aria's heart even more uneasy.Should she be happy that Jayden still considered her his wife?Would their relationship really be back to normal?Was Jayden paving the way for them to get back together?And was Aria ready for it all?Aria smiled unconsciously, her eyes welling with tears. It seemed her decision not to accept Hans's offer was the best one. Her marriage seemed to be salvageable."Because I'm still your husband. Isn't that what you told me?"But Jayden's next words made the smile on Aria's face fade instantly."What do you mean?" Aria asked.The man moved closer to Aria. He bent his tall frame slightly to get a closer look at Aria's face."You met Hans, right?" Jayden asked with a lopsided smile, as if mocking her. "Is it appropriate for
"Tara!" Aria called."Yes, Ma'am," Tara said as she arrived in front of Aria. The young woman was somewhat surprised by the situation. Aria was crying and Hans looked listless."Please escort Mr. Hans out," Aria said, leaving without waiting for Tara's response.Hans could only sigh heavily as Aria
Aria felt a little awkward speaking informally with Hans. After all, Hans was Jayden's business partner, whom she had to respect. It wouldn't be funny if Aria's slip of the tongue affected their collaboration, would it? Besides, it would be rude, even if their ages weren't that far apart.Hey! Was
"Nobody," Hans denied, then put his phone in his pocket, as otherwise the woman might snatch it by force. Viona was indeed a bit aggressive when she was curious."From your girlfriend, huh?" Viona guessed excitedly, her characteristic teasing tone."If so, why?" Hans asked back. Unexpectedly, this
Hans walked leisurely toward his parked car. He paid little attention to his appearance, using very natural gestures so that anyone inside wouldn't notice what he was doing. Hans then knocked on the car door. "Are you done?" he asked, making sure Aria was finished with her business with her child
