Wife on Strike Chapter 72: A Surprise She Never Expected
The car slowly rolled to a stop in front of a large residence.Kelsey looked out through the window. Her brows furrowed even more in confusion. The place didn't look like a company. It wasn't a restaurant either.The property was quiet and elegant, surrounded by neatly trimmed hedges and tall trees."Why are we here?" she asked Dimitri, making no attempt to leave the car.Dimitri unfastened his seatbelt."You'll find out soon."Kelsey didn't like the answer. Throughout the ride, Dimitri had been quiet, which wasn't how she knew him to be. They used to make a little small talk, but today he was giving off a cold vibe."What do you mean?"Dimitri smiled faintly. "It means exactly what I said."Kelsey's eyes narrowed. She could tell the smile was forced, which made her heart feel uneasy. She wondered what could be wrong."You're being suspicious," she said as she unfastened her own seatbelt.They both got out of the car.Kelsey felt no fear as she followed him. She had a strong feeling t
Wife on Strike Chapter 71: An Unexpected Invitation
The car showroom was bright, polished, and overly quiet.Rows of expensive vehicles stood under soft lighting, each one shining as if it was waiting to be chosen.Kelsey stood with her arms folded, staring at two cars in front of her.Ruby stood beside her, already excited."This one," Ruby said immediately, pointing at a sleek, eye-catching black car. "This is the one."Kelsey shook her head without hesitation."No."Ruby frowned. "What do you mean no? Look at it. It screams success.""It also screams money," Kelsey replied calmly.Ruby rolled her eyes. "Yes. That's the point."Kelsey turned slightly toward the other car. It was simpler, elegant, and less flashy."I prefer this one," she said. "It's enough. No need for excess."Ruby blinked at her."Enough? Kelsey, you're not a student anymore. You run a plantation, you have contracts, you are literally building your own empire, and you want to drive something 'enough'?"Kelsey sighed softly. "I don't like wasting money.""It's not w
Wife on Strike Chapter 70: A Little Freedom
The next morning. Kelsey woke up earlier than usual. For a few seconds, she forgot where she was. Then the familiar ceiling of Ivory Mansion came into view. Her expression immediately flattened. Right. She was back. Only temporarily. The thought made her sit up. Last night when she entered her old room, she found out that the wardrobe already had some clothes in it. She immediately realized that Ramon had ordered them as soon as she agreed to the proposal. A knock sounded shortly afterward. "Come in." The maid pushed the door open. "Little Master is having breakfast and is asking for you." Kelsey nodded. "I'll be down in a minute." After getting ready, she headed downstairs. Kendrick was already sitting at the dining table, and his eyes immediately lit up. "Mummy!" Kelsey smiled. "Good morning." Kendrick immediately ran over and hugged her. Ramon was already seated at the table. His eyes met hers. "Morning." But Kelsey did not reply. She had
Wife on Strike Chapter 69: Family Dinner
After leaving Ramon standing in the hallway, Kelsey went straight back to Kendrick's room. She didn't look back. She didn't want to. Right now, she had no interest in talking to Ramon. She quietly pushed open Kendrick's door. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully. His face looked calm, almost angelic. Nothing like the energetic child who had spent nearly an hour talking nonstop earlier. Kelsey smiled faintly. Then she quietly sat beside him. She didn't know how long she stayed there. Maybe thirty minutes or longer. At some point, Kelsey slowly opened her eyes to see Kendrick's cute eyes staring at her. The moment Kendrick saw that she was awake, his face immediately brightened. "Mummy!" Kelsey blinked and straightened from the chair as she realized she had fallen asleep. "You are awake," she said softly. "You didn't leave." His voice carried obvious relief. Kelsey gently pinched his cheek."Yeah... I'm staying over tonight." Kendrick nodded hap
Wife on Strike Chapter 68: The Price of Disrespect
Grace's face darkened instantly."What did you just say?"But Kelsey did not reply.She simply stared at Grace calmly.If it were left to her, she wouldn't want Grace to continue working in the mansion. But since she would be leaving after thirty days, it shouldn't be her business.Seeing that Kelsey didn't want to repeat herself, Grace let out a laugh.A sharp, mocking laugh."Just a housekeeper?"Grace's voice rose. "You've got some nerve saying that."Kelsey remained calm.Grace took a step closer."Do you know who you're talking to?"Kelsey raised a brow. "A housekeeper."Grace's expression twisted.The answer was like a slap.She hated how Kelsey was finally fighting back."You really think you're important because Mr. Holloway allowed you back into this house?"Grace sneered."You're only here temporarily."Kelsey licked the corner of her lips. "And you're here permanently?"Grace froze.Kelsey continued calmly."You're an employee. Nothing more."She paused briefly as though thinki
Wife on Strike Chapter 67: You Don't Know Your Place
Kendrick had not stopped talking for almost an hour.He kept pulling Kelsey from one corner of the room to another, showing her every little thing he had missed explaining before.Kelsey listened to everything.Not once did she interrupt him.She crouched when he pulled her down, smiled when he laughed, and nodded even when his stories made no real sense.It was the kind of attention the little boy had clearly been starving for.And only when his small body finally slowed down did she notice it.His eyes were getting heavy.He was still holding her hand tightly, even as his words started to slur."Mommy..." he mumbled softly while holding her hand tightly.Kelsey smiled faintly and brushed his hair back."You have to sleep now, Ken.""But you didn't see the other one..." he whispered weakly."I'll see it later," she said gently.That was enough.His eyes fluttered shut within seconds.Kelsey stayed beside him for a while, watching his chest rise and fall slowly.Only when she was sure
Wife on Strike Chapter 22: A New Beginning
It was noon, and the mansion was quiet as though it was midnight.Kelsey slowly zipped up her traveling bag for the last time after making sure she had packed everything she needed.She stood still for a moment and moved her eyes around the bedroom.Five years.She had spent five years in that room
Wife on Strike Chapter 21: A Different Woman
The following morning, Ramon stood in front of Kelsey’s bedroom door.He hesitated for a second before knocking lightly. That was probably the first time he had ever knocked on her door.There was no response and his brows furrowed slightly.“Has she left already?” he wondered quietly. He knocked
Wife on Strike Chapter 20: The Hidden Payment
Ramon remained standing at the entrance long after Kelsey had walked inside.The evening air felt strangely heavy.Her words kept replaying in his mind.'My father’s bills were only paid for three months.''You abandoned him there to be abused by that caregiver.'Ramon’s brows stayed tightly furrow
Wife on Strike Chapter 19: The Truth She Revealed
Ramon stood at the entrance of the mansion with a cold expression on his face. It had already been two hours since he called Kelsey and ordered her to return home, but she still wasn't back. The atmosphere in the house was terrible. His parents and Venus had come immediately after seeing the vid
