"So, Miss Adaline Scott, do you have your answer?" Altezza looked at Adaline with a gaze that was hard to explain. Adaline lifted her head, and their golden eyes locked. "Are you ready to repay your loan as per the amount I requested?" Altezza asked again.
"Um, Sir," she hesitated in her response. "May I ask a question?""Please," Altezza replied flatly. Adaline took a deep breath, trying to convince herself of what she was about to ask."Could you explain in more detail about your request to me, Sir?" she finally inquired. Adaline observed the furrowed forehead of the man in front of her, deep in thought."Actually, Miss Adaline, you no longer have the right to ask for those details from me. You should have inquired about it before agreeing to marry me and bear a child for me," Altezza replied after a brief silence he intentionally created, monopolizing time just to make the woman tense.Related chapters

"What does your mother like?" Altezza asked without glancing at Adaline, who now looked uncomfortable, occasionally biting her fingernails. "What do you mean?" Adaline asked, confused. "I can't possibly visit my future mother-in-law empty-handed, right, Mrs.? I intend to bring something for her." Adaline blushed instantly, not expecting Altezza to be so understanding. But she was confused about what to tell him about her mother's preferences. "Just say it, what kind of food does your mother like?" he gently ordered. "Many things," Adaline honestly answered. "My mother likes a variety of foods. She's not a picky eater." "Alright then," Altezza said flatly, and a few moments later, he diverted his car towards a supermarket. "Come on, get out," he softly commanded when he saw Adaline's expression once again filled with confusion. "I have to buy something f

The melodic sound of Emma's singing had become a routine for Adaline every morning. Adaline descended, dressed in her work attire - a dark blue long-sleeved shirt paired with neatly pressed black trousers. As usual, her long hair was tied in a simple bun that wouldn't disturb her while working. Her mother was busy at the stove, and Emma was organizing items in the kitchen cabinet. The groceries that Altezza brought the previous evening, which she had separated into two parcels, turned out not to be for him but a gift for her mother. FlashbackAltezza declined Adaline's mother's dinner invitation, explaining that he had just eaten before coming. Glancing at his watch, he decided to leave when the short hand struck eight. Despite their reluctance, both Violet and Emma allowed him to depart after hearing Altezza's reasons. "It's not good if people find out a man visited a woman's house this late, ma'am. It's not that I'm not comfortable or don't enjoy

"I don't want to know, but when we went to Antony's proposal, you already brought a candidate!" Her mother's shout welcomed Altezza at the breakfast table. "Candidate for what, Mom? A wife candidate for Antony?" Altezza teased, met with her mother's scorn. "A wife candidate for you, Altezza. Not for Antony. It's clear he has Claire to propose to." Her mother replied grumblingly. Last night, after returning from Adaline's residence, Altezza chose to go back to her parents' house with the intention of announcing that she had proposed to someone. But her plan was postponed as it turned out both of her parents were already asleep. And now, her mother was nagging her again about a prospective wife. It wasn't her fault if her mother didn't receive good news. It was her parents' fault for succumbing to the allure of pillows and mattresses, causing them to sleep early. And now, Altezza chose to postpone the good news. Let her endure a few more days until she

Adaline's POV It seems like my sigh of relief only lasted for a moment. When Tessa and I entered the cafe, it felt as if the weight on my shoulders came crashing down, akin to a collapsed roof. "Why is he here?" It's not strange to see Sir Altezza with Duncan, considering Duncan is his assistant. What puzzles me is why they—Tessa and I—ended up having lunch with them. Why would someone of Sir Altezza's status have lunch with employees like us? Did Sir Altezza plan this intentionally? It wouldn't be odd for Duncan to have lunch with Tessa since she is also his girlfriend, but why did Sir Altezza have to join? I wanted to ask them for an explanation, but I chose to remain silent for fear that Tessa might become suspicious. Until now, Tessa is unaware of the secret agreement between Sir Altezza and me. And is it just my imagination, or is he smirking at me? Does he know th

Friday, as Altezza had planned earlier, the man picked up Adaline from her mother's house. He openly stated that he would take Adaline to a family event in Kansas City and introduce her to all his family members. The reason was simple: so that Adaline wouldn't have to visit his family one by one. However, Adaline herself didn't know what the 'Family Event' the man mentioned actually was. The journey from Manhattan to Kansas didn't take long under normal circumstances. However, as it was approaching the weekend and coincidentally at the end of the month—when some banking employees in Indonesia received their salaries and seemed to choose to go home to their hometowns—there was a considerable traffic jam. Adaline was already tired and extremely sleepy as she hadn't slept well due to panic throughout the night. How could she not be worried? She was still apprehensive about the reception from the family of her 'prospective husband.'

Adaline groped around, trying to find where her phone was. Usually, she placed her phone not far from her bed, but why couldn't she reach it? She got up, rubbing her eyes. 'Where am I?' That was the first question that crossed her mind. Her eyes widened as her memory returned. Wasn't she supposed to be on the way to Kansas? The last thing she remembered was being in Altezza's car. 'Did I fall asleep during the journey?' Oh no, she embarrassed herself again. Quickly scanning the room and sharpening her hearing, she searched for her phone. She didn't want her phone's alarm to wake up the entire household. 'There it is!' She silently exclaimed as she saw her handbag lying on a square chair not far from her bed. Even her clothes bag was beside it. Adaline grabbed her bag, took out her phone, and turned off the alarm. After that, she threw herself onto the soft square chair. The only light she had

"Are you sure everything will be okay?" "In your opinion, do you think they can accept me?" "What if they don't like me and ask us not to get married? I don't have the money to cover the cancellation fees!" "Is my appearance respectful according to your parents?" Those questions, and other questions with a similar essence, continued to be uttered throughout their journey like a cassette tape being played over and over again. Altezza gave no answers except nods and shakes. She preferred to save her voice to respond to the questions her family would throw rather than answering Adaline's trivial chatter. It doesn't mean she doesn't want to reassure. It's just that, according to her, the words she utters won't mean anything if the girl is still nervous like this. They arrived at the housing complex where the Antony family resides. The complex's security guard, who already knew Altezza, greeted h

"Oh, my God..." The praise came along with a hug around her shoulders. Adaline could only stand still as she was pulled by a middle-aged woman who looked beautiful in front of her. "Darling, look who Altezza brought." She said emotionally. Her chubby hands framed Adaline's face, and then both of her cheeks were kissed so quickly."You disobedient child. So, you intentionally let me scold you back then, even though you already planned to bring her here?" The woman directed a series of punches at Altezza. Instead of dodging by running away, he held both sides of Adaline's body and took cover behind her, using Adaline as a living shield."I told you that I would find anyone on the way and bring them to you, and this is the person." He said while advancing Adaline towards his mother."You disrespectful brat! So rude!" The woman in front of him yelled again while trying to hit Altezza. "How could you pick up such a beautiful
