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
Because Edward's body temperature kept fluctuating, Bella had no choice but to stay with him overnight. Even when Bella woke up in the morning, Edward still held her wrist tightly.For whatever reason, Bella was taken aback last night. When she was about to leave, Edward suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled it to prevent her from leaving the room."Don't go anywhere. I want you to stay here with me tonight.""But, Sir---""Don't protest too much."Initially, Bella wanted to refuse. But, seeing Edward so weak, she became worried that his condition might worsen without anyone in the house knowing. Eventually, Bella decided to stay and accompany him.And now, seeing Edward's much better condition and his body temperature stabilizing, Bella slowly intended to leave the room. When she finally succeeded, Bella decided to quickly freshen up.Having been accustomed to taking care of her sick mother, Bella knew what to do. She headed to the kitchen, intending to make warm soup for Edward."Wh
"So, is this big baby still sick?"Rather than being concerned, Kairos chuckled with satisfaction. Even though it was already the fourth day, Edward was still sick and looked weak."Sam, I think you should check on this big baby. My gut feeling tells me that the fever Edward is suffering from is not just a normal fever."This evening, Kairos didn't come alone. He deliberately brought Samuel to check on Edward's condition, which hadn't improved.Kairos had repeatedly given advice, even forcing Edward to stay in the hospital. But instead of agreeing, he refused Kairos's suggestion."No need to exaggerate."Kairos reflexively nAaroned his eyes in disbelief."Who's exaggerating? I'm acting like this because I'm seriously worried. Just imagine, all these years of working together, I've never seen such strange behavior like you showed yesterday."Samuel, puzzled, asked, "What did Edward do?""When we had a meeting with the developers a few days ago, Edward suddenly left the meeting room, an
Bella's heart felt like it wanted to leap out of its place. When she turned around, she found Julia's figure, who suddenly entered Edward's room.Fortunately, the fairly long kiss Edward planted on Bella's lips had already ended. Now, all that was left was to prepare to hide Bella's face, which he believed was blushing with embarrassment. Hoping that Julia wouldn't suspect or bombard him with a lot of questions."Julia?"There was a hint of surprise in Edward's words. The man turned. He stared at Julia with meaningful eyes."Why are you here?"Julia burst into laughter. She shrugged off the blazer wrapped around her body, now only wearing a tank top that made her look so sexy."Darling... are you kidding? How could you even ask why I'm here?""I clearly asked," Edward replied. Sitting on the sofa, he continued to gaze at his wife who was now standing right beside him. "Didn't you yourself say you were going back to London next month?"Julia nodded. She didn't deny it. According to sch
