"For God Shake, can't you stay longer?"Edward grumbled in frustration. In their bedroom, as they were about to sleep, he complained to Julia, who had just asked for permission to travel again.Edward thought Julia had intentionally returned early to make up for her long absence. But, who would have thought that now his wife was asking for permission to travel abroad again, citing the need to fulfill her professional work schedule."You've only been back for a week. And now? You're asking for permission to go back to Paris for two months? You're really pushing it."Julia sighed. Rising from her seat, she picked up her tablet from the nightstand. Opening the calendar feature, she then showed it to Edward."I'm not bragging. You can see the schedule Dior has issued. There are workshops, photoshoots, and fashion shows I have to attend for the next month."Edward sighed. His frustration hadn't subsided. He suddenly missed the times when Julia wasn't as famous as she was now. At the beginn
At the outset of his arrival in Paris, Edward admitted that he thoroughly enjoyed every moment he spent with Julia. Like a couple on their honeymoon, they spent a lot of time together.Every day, Julia took Edward around, visiting several romantic places they had visited at the beginning of their marriage to foster intimacy and rekindle their relationship.Edward admitted he was happy. Delighted to be able to enjoy quality time and be affectionate with the woman he loved so much. So happy, in fact, Edward even planned to extend his vacation time.However, the intimacy Edward felt didn't last long. On the sixth day in Paris, Julia received news that the workshop she was supposed to attend the following week was rescheduled to start two days earlier."Don't be mad, Darling. This wasn't my decision."Julia snuggled close to Edward, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. She squeezed his arm while occasionally giving him sweet kisses."You're the one who asked me to take a two-week break
"Are you sure your husband will be okay?"Arron Carter asked with a serious expression, making sure to reassure Julia that what the woman was doing wouldn't cause any trouble or issues later on.Earlier, Julia did ask Edward for permission to attend the pre-workshop held at the convention hall. However, Julia had been done since two in the afternoon. Instead of heading straight back to the hotel, Julia went to have lunch and then joined Aaron to go to the man's apartment."No need to worry. Besides, Edward never stays angry for long. I bet, in a few days, he'll contact me and go back to being sweet as usual."This time, Aaron laughed. He was lying on the bed with Julia, then pulled her into his embrace.Julia and Aaron had been close for a year now. In front of everyone, they appeared like a manager and a model working professionally.Who would have thought that they were in a serious relationship? They often spent time together in bed. Just like now, for example."You're wicked. If y
It's been more than 20 minutes since Edward woke up. Instead of getting up immediately and cleaning himself, he pondered for a moment on the bed.Throughout, so many flashes of events danced in his mind. Moreover, there was one name that had been bothering him since he opened his eyes."Oh God."Edward sighed softly. Bringing his fingers to his lips, he seemed to gently rub the surface repeatedly. Then, before long, he heard himself muttering irritably."Darn it! Why do I keep remembering the other day's incident?"Honestly, since waking up from sleep, for some reason, Edward couldn't stop thinking about Bella. Out of the blue, he recalled the incident at the swimming pool, which accidentally led to him kissing the beautiful woman."No! This is absolutely insane. Besides, yesterday's incident was clearly unintentional."Edward tried to reassure himself repeatedly. But, before the memory of accidentally kissing her could fade, Edward remembered the incident when he was drunk and forced
"Sir, don't you want to answer your phone that's been ringing incessantly?" Edward glanced briefly at his phone, which had been lying on his desk. Despite Axel's reminder for the second time, Edward showed no interest in picking it up, especially knowing that it was Julia who had been calling."Just leave it. Let's finish discussing the construction of the latest mall network in Switzerland first."Axel nodded, not wanting to argue. He refocused on the graph displayed on his boss's laptop screen, providing explanations and calculations to Edward, who was waiting for his report."The top executives of Nebula want this mall we're building to be connected to both the apartment complex and a five-star hotel. And since yesterday, there have been several investors who have submitted offers."Then Axel reached for another folder he had placed on Edward's desk. Opening it, he showed it to his boss."These are all the investors who are valid and have confirmed participation in the tender. You
Bella squirmed as she woke up from her sleep. Slowly opening her eyes, she found the atmosphere in the room to be unfamiliar compared to what she usually saw.For a moment, Bella carefully assessed her surroundings, convinced that the room and the bed she was lying in weren't hers. She quickly turned to the side and indeed, at that moment, Bella's eyes landed on Edward, lying on the sofa wrapped in a thick blanket.Reflexively, Bella peeked under the blanket covering her body, relieved to see her clothes still intact. At least, the incident that she and Edward had experienced before didn't repeat itself.Then, Bella took a deep breath and sighed softly. She remembered helping Edward with a report last night. Perhaps due to fatigue and the lateness of the hour, she must have fallen asleep."Bella... why do you always manage to get yourself into trouble? How could you fall asleep in the master's bedroom?"Bella scratched her head while grumbling softly. She felt both uncomfortable and g
Whether this is normal or not, Bella felt extremely awkward all the way. Just imagine, tonight she was accompanied and escorted to watch a movie by a handsome man who unfortunately was already married.For God's sake, if only Edward were still single, Bella would thank God and even pray day and night for him to be her destiny. But, realizing that Edward was already married, Bella had to keep her composure."Since the movie starts at 7, we should have dinner first."As soon as they arrived at the mall, Edward immediately took Bella for a quick dinner. Aware that the woman he was escorting was pregnant with his future child, Edward didn't want Bella to miss dinner or lack energy."What would you like to order?" Edward asked once they were seated at an Italian restaurant.Bella opened the menu handed by the waiter. She looked through the options before making her choice."I'll have Lasagna, Tiramisu, and Gelato."Edward nodded and signaled the waiter to come over."Then, I'll have the sa
Bella should be thankful for what Edward gave last night. Besides being invited to watch their favorite movie, she was even treated to delicious food, and on the way home, they stopped by a bakery where Bella was allowed to buy anything she liked.So, as a gesture of gratitude, Bella purposely woke up earlier this morning. She chose some ingredients to later prepare into a breakfast menu to be given and enjoyed by Edward before going to work."You're pregnant, Miss. Why don't you just relax in your room?"Bella, who was cooking, was surprised to find Clara suddenly appearing. Bella was surprised because her assistant had returned home early in the morning. Yet, as far as she knew, Clara was busy taking care of her son who was hospitalized yesterday."Clara... why are you here? How's your son condition?"Bella joined in the concern. She was afraid that something bad might happen to her assistant's child. Especially since they had been separated because Clara had to be busy taking care
