Axel growled in frustration, not expecting daddy Charles to be so stubborn! Leaving the Xavier family? Impossible! How could Axel be so heartless to leave daddy Charles, who was already middle-aged and living alone?
Even though Axel has been traveling to various countries, it doesn’t mean he hasn’t been paying attention! Axel always asks Benny about daddy Charles’s condition, even though the old man doesn’t know because Axel specifically instructed Benny not to tell his daddy! What would happen if Axel left the Xavier family?But Axel also didn't want to let go of Aura and their baby! Axel loved them both!Axel punched the wall nearby in frustration, venting his anger, not caring even if it hurt his right fist! No! Now was not the time to give up, Axel had to think of all possible ways to soften daddy Charles's heart and persuade Aura! Axel was sure that Aura was very angry with him right now because of daddy Charles's words, and Axel had to fix the mistakes made by dad"Why? Are you surprised? Don't believe it? Think it's a dream? But it's not a dream, Aura. It's reality! Well, I also didn't expect that I would go through a moment like this. Declaring my love to a special woman. It's the first time I've done it," Axel said with a small smile, finding it amusing how Aura reacted.Especially when she yelped in pain after pinching her own arm!"Axel, I...""Honestly, since your presence, I’ve felt something different. I never thought I could fall in love with you. Falling in love and getting married were things I never even considered! But you changed everything! And again, since meeting you, I’ve been dreaming of my late mother, almost every night, dreams I always buried deep but resurface whenever I’m with you.”"Is it a nightmare?" Aura asked softly."No, not at all. It's definitely not a nightmare. It's a dream where I can still play and laugh together with my mom. Something I miss until now. At first, I didn't know why I star
"Aura?" Axel called softly when Aura remained silent, not answering his question. Doesn’t Aura know that Axel has been eagerly awaiting her answer, feeling anxious and uncertain?Doesn’t Aura know that Axel’s heart is pounding multiple times faster than usual because he’s waiting for her response?Doesn’t Aura know this is the most sacred moment for Axel and the first time he’s ever done this? Declaring his love to a woman, yet Aura remains silent!"I don't know!" Aura finally answered, playing it safe. Besides, Aura needed to convince her own heart. She didn't want to act recklessly, especially now that the situation was so complicated and gave her a headache!And it’s not just Aura and Axel involved, but also daddy Charles! It’s pointless for Aura to admit her feelings if daddy Charles refuses to give his blessing, right?"Don't know?" Axel repeated, deflated, his hopes shattered. Like a warrior defeated on the battlefield! Yet Axel is confident that Aura’
Aura shed tears, understanding Axel's feelings. It must have been tough to be left suddenly by a beloved parent. Aura couldn't imagine how Axel went through it at such a young age, he was a child! No wonder the man grew up in such a fragile state! "At that time, I didn't know what happened to Mom. How did she die? Dad just said there was a business associate who deliberately wanted to wipe out the Xavier family. When I realized that Mom was no longer by my side, I felt angry. No wonder I often fought to channel my anger until Dad took me to a psychologist, and the psychologist suggested that I learn martial arts. At least that way, I could have a place to vent my anger, whether on a punching bag or a piece of wood for training. The important thing was not to harm others. And since then, my emotions gradually stabilized,” Axel explained made Aura understand the origin of Axel’s martial arts skills. So that’s why! Well, it has its benefits too, at least Axel can become
"No, I just arrived too. So, what have you been up to while I was away in Korea?""Just working every day! It's dull and exhausted!" Min Young complained, leaning affectionately against Philip's chest. Not intending to explain in detail what ‘job’ she meant! Whether her job is as an artist or a night butterfly aka prostitute! Philip doesn’t need to know Min Young’s activities! "Is that so? You didn’t meet other men, have you?"Min Young frowned in annoyance at Philip's suspicion."Why would I look for another man when I have someone as wonderful as you, showering me with love, affection, and abundant wealth?" Min Young teased, pretending to be upset. In reality, she also worked as an exclusive prostitute for any man willing to pay a high price.Especially when Philip wasn't in Seoul, like Clay yesterday.It was no wonder she knew Madam Cha, her procurer for finding clients to satisfy in the bed. It was a decent way to boost income, especially considering Min
Min Young lay helpless, not objecting to what Philip was doing. Moreover, Min Young didn't need to worry because she routinely used contraception to prevent unplanned pregnancies. A pregnancy that will only complicate things for her. Sweat bathed both of their bodies. Their bodies clung tightly together, busy savoring the pleasure they had just experienced together. Their breaths were racing so fast, exhausted from the bed activities just now. Philip's body collapsed on top of Min Young, making her slightly breathless but not protesting. She understood that the man above her was flying due to her recent service. Min Young's hand reached out to tidy up Philip's slightly disheveled hair because of their heated activities earlier. Or more precisely, due to their passionate activities earlier."How was it?""You always manage to satisfy me, Darling.""Really?" Min Young asked with a radiant face. In her mind, she was already busy imagining how much money would soon
Min Young leaned on Philip's body. After being tired from their ‘hot’ activities, now they were just affectionate like ordinary lovers. At that moment, Min Young was thinking of the right words to express Angela’s request. The request that Min Young had to reluctantly fulfill just to silence that damn woman and prevent her from spreading the video that threatened her career! "What's your plan for tomorrow?""I have to be the MC at one of the music events. Why?""Nothing. So, we can't meet?""Well, it seems impossible because the event will last until late."Philip sighed, as if disappointed, though in reality, he didn't care much. After all, there was still his wife who could fulfill his sexual needs. Or other women, who could be easily summoned as long as he was willing to spend some money."Philip, there's something I want to talk to you about," Min Young opened a conversation that had been bothering her for the past few days. About Angela."
Axel’s question startled daddy Charles. How did Axel know about that? Especially when Charles had kept it tightly under wraps! Even Benny didn't know! His personal assistant only found out the reason recently, and that too, after Benny inquired! So, how did Axel find out about this issue?Realizing daddy Charles surprise at his words, Axel could only let out a soft sigh, reluctantly admitting the thing he had been hiding all this while so that his father wouldn’t worry. The real issue was something Axel was hesitant to discuss, fearing it might cause daddy Charles more pain. Ahh, correction, daddy Charles’s wound indeed hadn’t fully healed! No wonder daddy Charles was reluctant to accept Aura just because of that reason! "Yes, I know about Mommy's issue, Dad. I even know why that terrible tragedy had to happen. Daddy doesn't need to hide it from me anymore. I'm already an adult, Dad!""How did you find out about it? Did you investigate it?""Hmm... during
The night was already late, but Aura's eyes still couldn't close. Since earlier, her mind had been replaying Axel's words like a broken record. Troubled! Aura tossed and turned in bed until she finally gave in and decided to leave the room. Perhaps breathing in fresh air in the backyard could calm her restless heart!Aura walked along the garden path, heading towards the gazebo. Even though it was late at night, but Aura wasn't afraid because the backyard and gazebo area were well-lit, not dark. Since buying this house, Aura had immediately entrusted it to a renowned interior designer who could help realize the concept she wanted. The modern minimalist concept she liked.Aura sat in the gazebo while pulling her jacket closer. The night air felt cold, perhaps not the best for a pregnant woman like her, but right now, Aura needed fresh air to calm her suffocated heart. Aura’s mind was burdened with so much now, even though this scandal had only been happening for a few da
