Ji Hwan furrowed his brows when he saw Lionel's number on his phone screen. A bad thought crossed Ji Hwan's mind, thinking that something bad had happened to Aura. No wonder his heart was immediately struck with panic!
"Hello? What's wrong? Is something happening to Ae Ra?""What? Oh no. No. It's not that. I just want to tell you something."Lionel's response relieved Ji Hwan a bit, at least Aura was fine. Seriously, ever since Ji Hwan found out about the issues Aura was facing, his heart couldn’t rest!"About what?""I want you and Young Seo to come to our wedding as witnesses."Ji Hwan blinked. Afraid he misheard."Wedding? Witnesses? What do you mean?"Ji Hwan realized that his question might sound foolish, but let it be. The important thing is that Ji Hwan needed confirmation, making sure his assumption wasn't wrong!"I'm getting married to Aura this month. So I hope you can be there as a witness. Especially since Aura already sees you as herAxel's threat made Aura lose control. Angry because in Aura’s ears, his words sounded so selfish! Despite Aura’s decision to marry Lionel not being an easy one! There were many things Aura considered, but Axel easily shattered Aura’s already fragile confidence! A jerk! "What have I done to you that you want to ruin my life? Is your family, the Xavier family, always like this? Do you always have to get whatever you want even if it hurts others? Is that it?""Ruin your life? How can you say something so wicked? Even though I never intended to ruin your life, Aura!""Is that so? Maybe you don't intend to ruin my life, but not daddy Charles! He must be eagerly waiting for the time when I have to suffer because of losing custody of my own child due to your presence!" Aura replied unconsciously.Forgetting that Aura shouldn't say such things!Axel's jaw hardened upon hearing Aura's response. Finally, Aura said what she had been hiding all this time!"What do you m
Charles' face tensed, looking angry with the news he had just heard! Turns out his suspicion wasn’t off the mark! Axel went to Berlin because of Aura! Once again, because of that woman! The woman who is causing Charles and Axel’s relationship to become more strained! Benny just remained silent after reporting what had happened. Aware that his master was furious, just as he suspected! "How could Axel act like this? Chasing Aura all the way to Berlin? That boy is truly blinded by his own feelings!" Charles grumbled.Benny just stayed silent, unwilling to speak."And Aura, what does that woman really mean? Didn't she agree to stay away from Axel? Why can she be found so easily?! Does that woman just want to play with me? Doesn't Aura remember the signed agreement?" Charles raged again."Sir, I don't think Miss Aura can be blamed for this," Benny defended, daring to argue. He didn’t want his boss to target the wrong person in expressing his anger. Charles squi
"What do you mean? Can you please clarify? I don’t understand!" Axel asked, earnestly seeking clarification because he genuinely didn’t comprehend. Not sarcasm."What I mean is, maybe right now, God wants to see how serious you are about Aura! It could be, right? Considering that you've never been this serious with one woman, it's understandable if God gives you a test! If you pass, you get Aura. But if not, well, goodbye! Sayonara! Adios! That’s why you have to fight now, prove that you’re serious so you can pass God’s test!" Clay explained. Axel glared in annoyance hear at the man’s response, how could Clay say such a things to him? Was Clay hoping for Axel and Aura’s relationship to fail?Moreover, an atheist like Clay talking about God? Isn't that contradictory?"Why? Shocked by my words?""Extremely shocked!" Axel answered honestly, making Clay burst into laughter.“But I'm serious. I think this is one of God's trials to see how serious your heart is ab
Charles observed his surroundings, which felt unfamiliar. A place he had never visited before. Don’t know where. He had no idea where he was. Charles walked slowly, looking around, hoping to find clues. But there was nothing!Until a voice he had longed for so much returned, hitting his ears once again."Charles!"Charles turned in surprise, sharpening his vision. Making sure he wasn't seeing or hearing things incorrectly. The one calling him was indeed Alena, his wife!"Alena?" Charles whispered, unable to believe that after more than a decade, he could see the woman he loved again. Speaking face to face, even witnessing Alena's smile that always warmed his heart!"Forgive me for having to leave you first. I..."Charles shook his head, silencing Alena."Don't apologize to me. You're not at fault at all, Dear.""It must have been difficult taking care of Axel alone. Forgive me," Alena whispered again, feeling guilty for leaving her small family."
Lionel held Aura's hand with a beaming face, having obtained permission from Aura's parents, now Lionel could breathe a sigh of relief. Although he had felt nervous earlier, especially when Aura's parents didn't immediately grant permission and even asked a few questions, convincing them that Lionel could fully accept Aura. What’s more, Aura’s condition isn’t like that of an ordinary girl. Aura is already pregnant and causing a scandal that has brought her condemnation. It’s understandable for them as parents to worry, right? They fear Lionel won’t genuinely accept Aura’s condition! As parents, they surely want the best for Aura! The brief silence, even if only for a few seconds, felt so tense for Lionel. Fortunately, in the end, Aura's parents gave their blessing! Lionel could finally marry Aura without any hindrance. Approval from both of their parents, Lionel’s parents and Aura’s parents, had been obtained. Aura had agreed as well. The burden on his heart had disappeare
Aura turned to Lionel, seeking his permission."Lio, please give us some time, I need to talk alone with Axel.""But...""Please trust me, okay?" Aura requested, hoping Lionel wouldn't be suspicious.Lionel weighed it for a moment and nodded. Yes, he had to be able to give full trust to Aura. Isn't one of the basic foundations of marriage having trust in your partner? So Lionel also had to trust Aura!"Well, I do trust you, but I don't trust this guy!" Lionel said sarcastically, glancing sharply at Axel.Axel clenched his fists, trying not to throw a punch at Lionel's face. Aura, seeing the situation becoming more worrisome, tried to take control."It won't take long. Just 10 minutes," Aura requested again."Alright, no more than 10 minutes, okay?" Lionel finally replied, not objecting. Aware that Aura indeed needed to 'remove' Axel directly.Aura nodded quickly, wasting no time, and immediately dragged Axel to the café across the street! Meanwhil
Aura reluctantly glanced at the clock on her phone."It's been 12 minutes, I feel I should go home. Lionel is waiting for me. Besides, our conversation is already over,” Aura sighed softly, unwillingly but still needing to bid farewell. So sad. Axel nodded, not objecting. Although deep in his heart, Axel wanted to pull Aura into his arms. But no, Axel didn't want to make things difficult for Aura. So, even though it was difficult, Axel let Aura go from in front of him. Slowly moving away until finally, the woman was no longer visible to his eyes.Lionel waited at Aura's house with anxious hope, praying that Aura wouldn't change her mind. Praying that Aura wouldn’t leave him anymore. No wonder when Aura appeared, Lionel immediately rushed towards her and asked anxiously,"How? What did you talk to him about?""Sit down first."Lionel obeyed, impatiently wanting to hear the answer to his question. Restlessly waiting for the response Aura would soon give.
Almost a whole day, Aura went around with Lionel, busy choosing vendors for their wedding. Although Aura had said she didn't want a lavish party, Lionel insisted on getting the best vendors for Aura! And now, Aura was staring at her reflection in front of the mirror wearing a wedding dress. A limited edition gown adorned with Krystal Swarovski. It looked luxurious and elegant. Not tacky at all."Wow! You look stunning, Aura!" Lionel praised with sparkling eyes.Strangely, Aura didn't feel shy. There was no flutter in her heart. Aura just smiled faintly without saying anything. Aura approached Lionel slowly and whispered,"I feel like I don't need such an extravagant dress, especially since we're only getting married at the church."But Lionel shook his head firmly, disagreeing."Didn't I say I would provide the best vendors for you at our wedding? Even if it's just at the church, but this is a special moment, once in a lifetime. So, I want to make sure you wear t
