Adrian refrained from taking Alycia's hand."Nothing, Dad. I was just saying hello!" Adrian smiled at his father, who was watching him from inside the car."Oh, alright. Good, at least you should get to know Alycia! After all, we're going to be one family soon!" Aaron exclaimed from inside the car.Adrian's face turned gloomy. But he hadn't given up yet."Oh, yes, Dad... can I sit next to you? I want to ask you something about the job at the company. It looks like I have to start tomorrow, right?" Adrian took the initiative to at least keep his father from being alone with Alycia."Hmm... no need, Adrian! We can talk about it later when we get home. Get in, Aly!" Aaron smiled again as he patted the seat next to him."Besides, don't you have to drive?" "Ah... that... I already called Antoni to ask him to take over the driving. I think I'm exhausted from finishing my work this week... so I thought..." Adrian still tried to get what he wanted."In that case, shouldn't you rest first on
"ADRIAN!"Adrian snapped out of his reverie, thinking about what had happened a week ago.Adrian turned and saw his friend Alex running towards him, carrying a file.Adrian threw away his cigarette butt and stamped on it."What's wrong? Why are you running like you're being chased by the devil, Alex?" Adrian asked.“Gosh! Gosh! Let me catch my breath!” Alex bent over slightly, then stood up and took a slow breath.“There are documents you need to sign, Adrian! And this is important, one of our cooperation agreements with an Asian company. They are really looking forward to and like our digital products. Actually, I'm overwhelmed if you're not here! But what can I do, your father's company needs you!" Alex wiped the sweat from his forehead."I know! That's why I pay you so much! Besides, you should be doing your job at the company more often! After all, you are my deputy! Don't just be lazy at work!" Adrian continued to rant as he took the file Alex gave him and signed it."You! I'm no
Aaron and Alycia turned to Adrian. Alycia's face even looked pale when she looked at Adrian.Adrian crushed the glass in his hand, injuring his hand."Son, your hand is injured, what are you doing? Are you okay?" Aaron asked his son."Yeah, I'm fine! My hands were slippery just now!" Adrian lied.'What's wrong with Adrian? His hands were slippery? That's impossible! It looks like he accidentally broke the glass! But why? Why does he look angry? But angry about what? Was it because of what Aaron said earlier? Is he jealous? But... that's impossible! He loves Tiffany, doesn't he? Even though it seems like their relationship isn't going well right now! Ah, what am I thinking! What does it matter if he's jealous or not? Our story is over! I hate him! He's made me suffer so much because of his actions!" Alycia thought and asked herself in her heart, her mind full of questions at that moment. Alycia, who was daydreaming a little because she was thinking, suddenly snapped out of her reverie
Adrian paced back and forth in front of the hospital courtyard, occasionally glancing towards the hospital exit, hoping that the person he was waiting for would appear soon. But after waiting for a long time, the person he was waiting for did not show up.Adrian glanced at his expensive watch from time to time, saying angrily, "Where are they, actually! It's taking so long! I've been waiting here for 10 minutes, but they still haven't arrived! What are they doing in there, anyway, that I have to wait so long! Do they think I'm unemployed or something? Damn! This is really annoying!"After their conversation a week ago, Adrian's father was finally allowed to go home, but because of his weak condition, Aaron, his father, had to go home in a wheelchair so he wouldn't get too tired.Adrian was actually reluctant to pick up his father and his fiancée, who was none other than Aly, his ex-girlfriend whom he had been searching for all this time. Adrian was forced to pick them up because he co
"What did you say, Adrian?" Aaron asked Adrian, who had suddenly appeared in front of his hospital room, causing Alycia and Aaron to turn their heads. "I said, I don't agree!" Adrian repeated, walking towards them and glaring at them with a look of displeasure, his hand beginning to clench into a fist. “What do you mean, son? You disagree with Alycia staying at our house and taking care of me until I’m cleared to resume my activities? Is that what you mean?” Aaron stared at Adrian with a strange look. Until now, Adrian had never interfered in his personal life, whether Aaron brought women home or not. 'But why does Adrian now seem to be meddling in his personal affairs? What does this kid really want? Why does he seem to hate Aly so much? What is really going on between them? Is it really because Aly is so much younger than him? But why do I feel like it's more than that? Is there another reason? I hope not! I hope it's just my imagination running wild!" Aaron thought to himself.
Alycia ran quickly down the hospital corridor, her sole purpose being to meet Aaron. "Brak!" Alycia opened the door to Aaron's room with great force. "Aaron!" Alycia called out the name she had been longing to hear. Aaron turned with a smile, his face slightly pale but his handsomeness and warmth clearly shining through. Alycia froze in place, 'Look at that man, still smiling even though I hurt him! Look at the man who always seemed stern and feared by other businessmen, always warm and radiant even though his face looked a little pale from his illness! The man who always helped her, supported her at her lowest point, now lay weak! And I had cruelly abandoned him just because of the past! I was so foolish! So very foolish! Why did I let the past continue to haunt me? Why? Forgive me, Aaron!' Alycia whispered sadly, looking at Aaron. Alycia froze for a moment, and tears began to roll down her cheeks. "Aly? Why are you silent? Come here! I'm fine! Well, at least I'm not
