LOGINTime passed quietly.
Because of how busy they both were, Kylie and Brown had rarely seen each other since that day.
All they could manage were phone calls and text messages.Kylie prepared herself with determination and faith. Her parents did the same as the day of the official engagement approached. Her mother handled the necessary arrangements, choosing the dishes to be served. The wedding date would be discussed and agreed upon that day.
Kylie continued to work as usual, struggling to keep up with her weekly novel update schedule despite her exhaustion.
But when Alicia's words suddenly echoed in her mind again, her brain worked even harder.
Even though she stumbled through it, she still managed to post her update.Her senior, Inggrid, had just released her debut novel.
Everything was going well-
allowing Kylie to finally breathe in peace.At least, until this very moment.
Kylie stood frozen in the middle of a
Stuart was never her ex-boyfriend. That was the truth.It was only Kylie's heart that had once been tied to him-but even so, the memories of the past weren't something that could be erased overnight. That's what memories were meant for, right? To either be remembered... or forgotten.And Kylie chose the latter. She wiped them away like dust from a dining table-gone without a trace.But the problem lay with the other person involved. Stuart couldn't seem to accept being forgotten. Instead, he grew obsessed-his curiosity and wounded pride driving him to keep pestering her, even when Kylie had made it clear she wanted nothing to do with him.Honestly, this was the only problem Kylie had at work.Other than that, she enjoyed her job-her colleagues, the daily challenges, the sense of fulfillment.Until today.After finishing their field assignment, Kylie and Stuart returned to the office in silence. Neither of them said a word. Kylie went stra
The workweek had to begin again after the weekend break.Kylie sat inside the car, parked right in front of her office building. Brown wasn't ready to let his wife go just yet. According to his schedule, he still had enough time before picking up Mr. Alexander, so he wanted to make the most of it."Babe..." Kylie leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "I'm going now. See you this evening, okay? Please pick me up later."But Brown didn't unlock the car doors. Instead, he straightened up behind the wheel, his eyes fixed on her. He reached out with his left hand, running his fingers gently through her hair, a teasing smirk curling on his lips as he tousled it."Four. Are you serious?"'Oh no, not this again. Still talking about kids?'Brown had clearly been provoked by Miss Livia's teasing remark yesterday-that Kylie wanted four children. Ever since they got home, he wouldn't drop the topic. He'd even brought it up again this morni
The garden was cool and peaceful, shaded by tall, well-kept trees. The air was filled with the gentle fragrance of blooming flowers, matching the perfect weather-neither too hot nor cloudy.After an hour's drive, they finally arrived for a picnic filled with snacks and a light lunch.Though, truthfully, the car had only been moving for half an hour-the rest of the time was spent flirting inside.Baby Davina was fast asleep in her carrier after drinking her milk. Her nurse sat beside her, munching on snacks while quietly observing the utterly surreal scene before her.Davina's nanny considered herself very lucky. She'd been chosen to take care of Mr. Alexander's daughter-earning a salary far higher than what she'd ever received at the hospital, not to mention the luxurious accommodations at the main house. Every cent of her pay went straight into her savings.Still, what she saw here often went far beyond normal human experience-from the replica road bu
Assistant Brown could always be counted on for everything.That much was clear today, just by looking at the main house courtyard. If it hadn't been for Brown, there was no way anyone could've come up with - let alone built - something as absurd as a life-sized replica of a public road.Maybe he was inspired by those old Barbie playsets, or perhaps those build-and-take-apart toys that barely exist anymore.What about the rest of the mansion's residents?Of course, they were eager to see Mr. Alexander drive his own car for the first time. But unfortunately, they had been forbidden from going outside to watch."If everyone gathers in the yard, the young master will feel awkward. So please, stay in your rooms and watch from your windows instead."Brown's request sounded more like a command. After that, he left without entertaining a single question.This was all, according to him, to make sure the young master had a "natural" driving exp
Kylie's weekend plan to stay home had to be canceled.Brown had an important assignment today, and he needed to go out-taking Kylie along with him."Babe, are you sure I can come with you?"She asked while admiring herself in front of the mirror, turning slightly as she smoothed the edge of her skirt and fixed her hair. Brown, still in the bathroom, didn't answer.Kylie brushed her hair neatly and tied half of it up, letting the rest fall over her shoulders.Today, she wore a knee-length light brown dress with a line of tiny floral patterns running vertically. Since they were going to visit Miss Livia, she wanted to look proper and polite."How do I look?"Brown peeked out from the bathroom doorway, a towel wrapped loosely around his waist. His damp hair, broad chest, and well-defined abs glistened under the light."You're beautiful. You'll look beautiful no matter what you wear," he said casually, drying his neck and hair with a s
The time had finally come for Reegan to leave. He packed up his things and said goodbye to everyone. He wanted to hug Kylie one last time, but she pushed him away."Don't even think about it, Reegan. Just calling you by your name is enough to make my husband jealous-imagine if he found out I hugged you! Don't get me in trouble!"For Kylie, even calling Reegan by name already felt like a betrayal. If she actually hugged him, it wouldn't just end with a simple argument that night."Where are you off to?""Go say goodbye to the others first. I'll walk you downstairs," she said.As Reegan walked away, Kylie felt something strange stir in her chest. After all, she had known him for years. They'd been coworkers even before she met Assistant Brown. But this was Reegan's decision.Being the one left behind always leaves a lump in your throat.Still, Kylie didn't want to interfere with the choice he'd made. Nor did she want to stop him. She kn
