登入Meanwhile, at Kai Ray's villa...Kai was relaxing on a lounge chair beside the swimming pool, dressed casually in a white T-shirt and gray shorts. A pair of sunglasses rested on the small table beside him as he enjoyed the peaceful afternoon breeze.His phone was pressed against his ear while speaking with Nurse Evelyn."So... how is she doing?" he asked anxiously."Miss Stephanie had a bout of morning sickness today," Nurse Evelyn replied.Kai immediately sat upright."What?" he asked, panic evident in his voice. "Is she alright?""Please relax, Mr. Kai.""How can I relax?" he asked, running a hand through his hair. "Is she in pain? Does she need to be admitted?"Nurse Evelyn smiled on the other end of the call."Everything is under control."Kai remained silent, waiting for her to continue."Morning sickness is perfectly normal during pregnancy, especially in Stephanie's case.""My case?" he repeated."She's carrying quadruplets, Mr. Kai. Her body is working much harder than a no
Later that afternoon, Kai personally drove Stephanie back to the villa.The journey was quiet.Neither of them spoke much, each lost in their own thoughts.When the car stopped in front of the villa, Stephanie quickly unfastened her seatbelt."Thank you for lunch," she said politely before opening the door."It was my pleasure," Kai replied with a gentle smile.She stepped out of the car and hurried toward the entrance.After taking only a few steps, a familiar voice called after her."Stephanie..."She stopped in her tracks.Taking a slow breath, she turned around.Kai had stepped out of the car but kept a respectful distance between them.She forced a small smile."Is there something else... Mr. Kai?"Kai smiled softly."You don't have to call me 'Mr. Kai.'"She looked at him without saying a word."Just call me Kai."He took two slow steps forward before stopping again, careful not to invade her personal space."I..."For the first time in a long while, the confident superstar wa
Friday afternoon arrived peacefully.Stephanie walked downstairs after waking up and followed the aroma of something delicious into the spacious kitchen. There, she found Mrs. Linda and Grace discussing a shopping list spread across the kitchen island while Chef Daniel prepared meal nearby."Good afternoon," Stephanie greeted with a smile.The three of them immediately turned toward her."Good afternoon, Miss Stephanie," Mrs. Linda replied warmly. "Did you sleep well?""I did. Is everything alright?""Yes," Mrs. Linda answered. "Grace is about to go to the supermarket to restock the groceries."Chef Daniel walked over with a mug of warm milk."Here you are, Miss Stephanie.""Thank you."She accepted the mug and took a small sip.Mrs. Linda handed a long shopping list to Grace."These are everything we'll need for the week."Grace nodded.Stephanie glanced at the list before looking back at them."You're going shopping?""Yes," Grace replied."We're running low on some supplies."St
Months passed, and everything gradually settled into a peaceful routine.Stephanie had grown accustomed to living in the villa, although she still found it difficult to believe that this luxurious place was now her home. Everyone treated her with kindness and respect, making sure she never lacked anything. Even before she could ask for something, it was already prepared for her.After a week of gentle persuasion from Ken, Stephanie finally accepted a personal driver and a luxury car."I really don't need all this," she had protested.Ken smiled patiently."Mr. Kai insists, Miss Stephanie. At least allow us to ensure your safety whenever you leave the villa."Seeing how determined he was, she finally gave in."Fine... but only because I don't want to keep arguing with you.""That's all I was hoping for," Ken replied with a relieved smile.Even with the car at her disposal, Stephanie rarely went anywhere. Most of her trips were only to two places—the orphanage where she had grown up a
Stephanie had finally settled into the villa, but everything still felt unreal.Every morning, she woke up wondering if she was dreaming.The spacious bedroom, the luxurious furniture, the peaceful atmosphere, and the staff waiting to attend to her every need—it was a life she had never imagined.She had spent most of her life struggling to survive, and now she was living in a mansion that looked more like a palace than a home.She still wasn't used to it.That afternoon, Chef Daniel finished preparing lunch.The long dining table was filled with different varieties of delicious dishes. There were grilled salmon, roasted chicken, vegetable stir-fry, creamy pasta, fried rice, steamed rice, fresh salads, baked potatoes, assorted fruits, freshly baked bread, soups, and several freshly made fruit juices.When Stephanie walked into the dining room, she stopped in her tracks.Her eyes widened."What... is all this?" she asked in disbelief.Chef Daniel smiled proudly."Your lunch, ma'am."Sh
Months passed, and then the unthinkable happened.Stephanie discovered she was pregnant.Unable to believe the result, she rushed to the hospital, hoping the pregnancy test had been wrong.After several examinations, the doctor returned with the results."Congratulations," the doctor said with a gentle smile. "You're approximately two months pregnant."Stephanie felt the room spin around her."What...?" she whispered in disbelief."The test results are accurate," the doctor confirmed.She left the hospital in a daze, unable to process what she had just heard.By the time she reached her apartment, the weight of reality came crashing down on her.She sank onto the couch and burst into tears.How was she supposed to raise a child on her own?She had no parents.No family.No stable job.No one to lean on.She gently placed a trembling hand on her stomach, her tears flowing freely."What am I going to do?" she whispered through her sobs.For the first time in years, Stephanie felt compl
