Wife on Strike Chapter 73: A shoulder to Lean On
The ocean stretched endlessly before them.The waves rolled toward the shore one after another, their rhythmic sound filling the silence between them.Kelsey sat quietly on the wooden bench. Her hands rested on her lap.Beside her, Dimitri sat unusually still.The sea breeze brushed against Kelsey's face.She lowered her eyes.Ever since they left Doctor Harrison's residence, her emotions had been a mess.She kept replaying everything in her head. The possibility that her father might finally receive treatment from someone who actually understood his condition and was known for it made her chest ache.A tear escaped before she could stop it, and she quickly wiped it away, pretending that nothing had happened.A few seconds later, another followed.She lowered her head even more and wiped it away.She didn't want Dimitri to notice.But Dimitri had already noticed.Of course he had.His eyes shifted toward her."You know," he finally said. His voice was quieter than usual. "I didn't bri
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 47: A Child's Hope
The living room fell into silence after Ramon spoke.For a long moment, Andrew said nothing. He sat quietly, his fingers tightening around the glass in his hand.Ramon, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable.He had rarely refused Andrew anything before. Not because he was forced to. But because he
Wife on Strike Chapter 46: A Father's Plea
Still standing by the door, Ramon watched the scene quietly.For some reason, seeing Kendrick so comfortable around Kelsey felt strange, but not in a bad way.'It isn't that bad though.'He thought to himself.Just then, a knock sounded on the door."Mr. Holloway."Grace's voice came from outside.
Wife on Strike Chapter 45: Mummy Is Amazing
The moment the car stopped in front of the Ivory Mansion, Ramon pushed the door open and stepped out. "Come out," he said to Kelsey, who had her arms folded across her chest, clearly showing she wasn't pleased with him. Her anger had not disappeared during the drive home. Not even a little.

At the same time, at Tony Morgan's villa,The atmosphere inside the house was gloomy.Eveline sat on the couch with a dark expression. A cup of tea sat untouched on the table in front of her.Across from her, Laura paced back and forth angrily.Neither of them had been able to calm down since the d
