KALE'S POV."Tell me, Kale. It's not that you're worried about Andrea attacking your business again, it's that you're worried about Yvonne."My body was completely still as Jessy approached me with her suspicious gaze. I felt rather nervous after she caught my phone conversation with Theo. Even though I could have avoided it outright, I knew Jessy would still be able to read the lie from the look in my eyes.Considering that I had to keep our marriage going-even though my love for her had started to wane, I couldn't let Jessy be desperate to do something to destroy Yvonne again."Why, Kale, if you're really afraid of Andrea disrupting your business again, your conversation on the phone with Theo was predominantly about protecting Jansen and Yvonne.""Because Theo is Yvonne's husband, you know? It's that simple, Jessy. I don't understand why you have to suspect me," I said, trying to refute her words.Jessy laughed sarcastically, scowling in disgust. "Oh, my God. You think I'm easy to
KALE'S POV.[Secillya Andrea sends a photo][Secillya Andrea: I met your son and that woman earlier. Wow, your son is growing up well, Kale.][Secillya Andrea: It's been a long time since we met. I was able to meet them. How is this? I'm interested in them.]My heart was inflamed reading the message that just came into my phone. I noticed the photo of this woman with Jansen and Yvonne. Just like Andrea, she hasn't changed since a few years ago. She had once almost destroyed my business by pretending to love me.I thought I had managed to settle my affairs with her. I thought, too, that I had pretty much banished her from my life.Over the years Andrea never showed up again, and I had no idea where she was. My business and my life had settled down enough without Andrea holding the key to my past scandals.Now she was meeting Yvonne and Jansen.What is she up to this time?"I am very grateful for the performance of all the employees at Walt Atonome Company. Our company, last year, achie
YVONNE'S POV."Mrs. Yvonne? I didn't recognize anyone by mistake, did I?"A strange woman in a short maroon dress stood before me.I didn't recognize the woman who suddenly came up to me while I was enjoying a meal with Jansen. For a while, I watched her from the bottom up, trying to remember if I had met her between all my business events. However, I had absolutely no recollection of the two of us ever meeting."Who are you?" I asked, looking at him in astonishment.She then gestured an inquiry to sit in front of me, which I obliged. After sitting down, her gaze fell on Jansen. A warm smile spread across his face-something that was very strange because he seemed to already know Jansen."Hi, Boy. You're Jansen, right? I've seen you in all your father's articles during business events. He takes you everywhere, doesn't he?"Jansen paused with a look of astonishment on his face. "Because my father loves me. But who are you?"Sitting in the shower with hot water pouring down, I hug my kne
POV 3.Awkward atmosphere.Damn.Eleanor didn't know why she suddenly felt awkward after Dave said his umpteenth declaration of love. Now she could only sit silently like an idiot, watching Dave devouring his lunch.As she watched Dave, Eleanor thought over and over again. She doubted that Dave really loved her.What had really happened to Dave?She didn't even think that Dave could love her. The last few months, they had only been on missions together. There wasn't the slightest thought in Eleanor's head that feelings of love would arise.Eleanor hadn't thought about falling in love-or actually, had she started to feel the same way? She remembered the strange sensations and pounding that always came more intensely whenever she was with Dave."Ah, no way," Eleanor spontaneously muttered while shaking her head.Dave looked at Eleanor with a strange look. His chewing movements instantly stopped. Both eyebrows furrowed in astonishment."What's wrong with you?" asked Dave.Eleanor immedia
POV 3. "After listening to your proposal, I think I can make the first $10,000,000 investment in your restaurant."Eleanor was almost stunned after hearing Jake's words. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn't even move for a few moments. She needed time to convince herself that she hadn't heard wrong.Eleanor would have called Dave crazy for bringing her to meet Jake. How could it be that a good businessman like Jake had already made a huge investment - even though the restaurant was not yet built?"Hey, answer, don't keep quiet," Dave said in a whisper as he nudged Eleanor's shoulder.Eleanor instantly snapped out of her silence. She really didn't know what to say. When she looked at Dave, he was reprimanding her through his facial expression. Although, there was a mocking smile on Dave's face."Wait... I can't believe it," Eleanor said in an almost stammering voice."Why are you so surprised? That's quite an investment for you to build the restaurant as you planned," Jake
THEO'S POV."I will never let Yvonne feel alone. Until whenever."I know that they might call me a fool for defending Yvonne-the woman I love. But to me, seeing Yvonne hurt was like tearing something inside me.I held Yvonne closer to my body in front of Watson, my own father, and Kale who could only be stunned-that stupid man did nothing despite saying he still loved Yvonne so much a few days ago. I did not want to let them touch any part of Yvonne's body."You're defending a woman like her, Theo?" My father said in a stern tone. "I didn't expect you to throw away your family for a woman like Yvonne. She's even been dumped by her family!""Don't bring up her status in the family! You guys don't even respect Yvonne as my wife, why should I respect you all?""Theo, I threw Yvonne away because she and her mother were parasites in the family. Why do you still care about her?" Richard, Yvonne's father, interrupted the conversation.What was wrong with them?Were they coming just to embarr
