LOGINChapter 98The clock on the office wall showed five in the afternoon.One by one, the employees began to leave the room. The atmosphere, which had been full of activity since morning, slowly became quieter.Inside Calvin’s office, Camelia closed her laptop slowly.Her hand paused for a moment on the desk. She took a deep breath. The first day of work felt much longer than she had imagined.“Today was very tiring…” she murmured softly.She stood up, tidying several documents on the desk. Her movements were neat, organized. However, her mind was not fully there.Suddenly, the image from earlier that afternoon appeared again. Calvin’s gaze. The way he fed her. And… that kiss on her forehead.Camelia let out a long breath. Her hand unconsciously touched her own chest.“Why did it turn out like this…” she whispered.She shook her head quickly. As if trying to chase those feelings away. “That’s enough.” She picked up her bag.The day was over. She just wanted to go home. But as she stepped
Chapter 97The meeting ended exactly at 11:45 a.m.One by one, the clients stood up, shaking Calvin’s hand with satisfied expressions. The atmosphere, which had been tense, became more relaxed. Some of them even smiled broadly, clearly pleased with how the deal had gone.“A pleasant collaboration, Mr. Calvin,” one of them said.Calvin gave a slight nod. “Likewise.”Camelia stood beside him, tidying up the documents that had been used. Her movements were quick, practiced, without much talk.Once everyone had left, the room became quieter.Camelia let out a soft breath. “Finally finished…” she murmured. She turned, about to return to the workspace—But her phone vibrated. The name that appeared on the screen made her pause slightly.Who else but Revan. She hesitated for a moment… then answered.“Hello?”“Finished with the meeting?” Revan’s voice was heard from the other side.“Yes, just now.”“Good,” Revan replied. “Have you eaten?”Camelia glanced at the clock. “Not yet.”“Then let’s h
Chapter 96The clock on the office wall showed 08:55 a.m.The atmosphere on the top floor of Calvin’s company had already started to get busy. Several staff members walked back and forth, carrying documents, speaking quickly, and occasionally glancing toward the main office.Inside that room, Camelia stood beside the desk, rechecking the files that would be brought to the meeting.Her hands moved quickly, neatly, and in order. Her face was serious. She tried to stay focused. But her mind… was not entirely there.Every now and then, the memory from earlier that morning resurfaced. About Calvin. About the children. And about those words.“I will chase you, Camelia… even for ten years, I can do it.”Camelia let out a slow breath. “Focus…” she murmured.On the other side of the room, Calvin stood in front of a large mirror. He was already wearing the suit that Camelia had chosen earlier. His hair was neat. His appearance was perfect as usual.However, he frowned slightly. The tie around h
Chapter 95Morning came with a softer light than usual. Sunlight slipped through the gaps in the curtains, falling onto the living room floor of Camelia’s apartment.The atmosphere had been busy since earlier.Aurora stood in front of a small mirror, fixing the ribbon in her hair. Meanwhile, Daven was busy putting books into his bag, though several times he put the wrong ones in.“Ma! Is this a math book or a drawing book?” Daven asked, confused.Camelia, who was putting on her shoes, only glanced briefly. “That’s math. Don’t mix it up again like yesterday.”“Oh…” Daven nodded, then quickly replaced it.Camelia stood up, straightening her shirt. Today was her first day truly working at Calvin’s office.For some reason… her feelings were mixed.“Are you ready?” she asked.“Ready!” Aurora and Daven answered at the same time.Before they could leave—The doorbell rang.Ding dong.Daven immediately ran. “I’ll open it!”“Slow down!” Camelia called out.The door opened. And there—Revan stoo
The night grew later. The clock on the wall already showed nearly ten when the atmosphere in the apartment began to feel warmer than before.Aurora was still sitting on the floor, hugging her new doll. Meanwhile, Daven was busy playing with his remote-control car, steering it here and there.“Look, Ma! It can turn!” Daven exclaimed, his eyes sparkling.Camelia smiled faintly. “Yes, be careful not to crash it.”On the other side, Calvin stood watching. His hands were in his pockets, but his eyes never left the two children.Something trembled inside his chest.Aurora suddenly turned. “Uncle…”Calvin immediately responded. “Yes, sweetheart?”“Will you come here again tomorrow?” she asked innocently.The question made Calvin fall silent for a moment. A small smile appeared on his face. “Yes, if I’m allowed, Uncle will definitely come.”Daven immediately chimed in, “Yes, of course, because Uncle is a good person, so Aurora and I allow Uncle to come. But you have to bring toys again!”Came
Chapter 93The city lights began to turn on as Calvin’s car drove away from the hotel. The atmosphere inside the car was far quieter than when they had arrived.Camelia stared out the window. Her thoughts were still left behind in the VIP room.The way Calvin held her hand. The way he casually said, “She is my wife.”Her hand unconsciously clenched on her lap.“Why are you so quiet?” Calvin asked suddenly.Camelia did not turn immediately. “I’m thinking.”“Thinking about what?”Camelia finally glanced at him. “You went too far earlier.”Calvin smiled faintly. “What do you mean?”“You said I’m your wife in front of them.”“Is that wrong?” Calvin replied casually.Camelia let out a breath. “We’re not like that anymore.”Calvin did not answer immediately. He just looked at the road ahead, his expression hard to read.A few seconds of silence.Then Calvin spoke softly, “I only said what I want.”Camelia frowned. “Don’t start again.”Calvin did not continue. He simply turned the direction
Chapter 11The sharp smell of antiseptic stung Camelia’s nose as her consciousness slowly returned. Her eyelids felt heavy. She tried to open her eyes, then closed them again because the light was too bright.“You’re awake?”A man’s voice sounded near her. His tone was firm, but there was something
The next morning.Calvin stood in front of the bedroom mirror, adjusting the cuffs of the white shirt he was wearing. Behind him, Tata moved back and forth with focused concentration, making sure Calvin’s work outfit looked perfect.“The shirt fits well,” Tata said with a smile. “This gray tie matc
Chapter 47That afternoon, Calvin’s hospital room felt quiet. Mira had just gone home for a while, while Samantha went out to buy something. For the first time since being hospitalized, Calvin was truly alone.He leaned against the bed while playing with his phone.Work notifications kept coming in
Chapter 39That night, Camelia’s apartment was quiet. Aurora had fallen asleep earlier, and Daven had just drifted off after taking his fever medicine. Camelia stood for quite a while beside her son’s bed, making sure his breathing was steady.The doorbell rang.Camelia frowned. “Who could it be at
