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 owed the man more than he could ever repay.

Finally, Andrew let out a slow sigh.

"I understand." His voice was calm.

Ramon felt even worse.

But it wasn't something he could change. He wanted to put hi

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 147: The Unexpected Accident

    A car sped down the road at full speed, as though the driver had the whole world chasing her.Gwen's hands were tightly wrapped around the steering wheel. Her face was still filled with anger, and her blood was burning from what she had seen at the restaurant.She couldn't believe her eyes.She had gone there hoping to have a peaceful evening, but instead, she had left with the same sadness and pain she had arrived with.She didn't want to think about it anymore. All she wanted was to get home, lock herself in her room, pour out all the pain, and be alone. That was the only way she would feel alive; otherwise, she might lose her mind.Her foot pressed harder on the accelerator. The road ahead was almost empty, but Gwen wasn't paying much attention to anything around her.She didn't even notice the traffic light until she was already close to the intersection.The light was red, but Gwen didn't stop.She drove straight through it.At that same moment, another car was coming from the op

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 146: A Night to Remember

    After they finished dinner, Ramon and Kelsey walked out of the restaurant together.The night air was cool, and the soft breeze brushed against Kelsey's face as they stepped outside.She thought they were going straight to the car, but Ramon didn't lead her toward it.Instead, he gently held her hand and guided her toward the side of the restaurant.Kelsey looked at him in confusion but followed without asking.They passed through a small pathway and entered a beautiful garden behind the restaurant. Unlike the main part of the restaurant, this area was quiet. Small lights had been placed around the garden, giving the place a warm glow.There were a few benches facing the open sky.Ramon led her to one of them, "Let's sit for a while."Kelsey looked at the bench before sitting down.Ramon sat beside her, leaving a small space between them.The sounds from the restaurant were faint from where they were sitting. Above them, the night sky stretched endlessly, with a few bright stars visib

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 145: A Secret in the Restroom

    Kelsey entered the restroom and walked toward the sinks. It was quiet inside. She glanced around before moving to the wall beside the cubicles. She leaned against it comfortably, folding her arms across her chest as she waited. She wasn't in a hurry. If her suspicion was right, Venus was in there. A few seconds later, the lock clicked, and the door opened. Venus stepped out. The moment her eyes landed on Kelsey, she froze. Her entire body seemed to stiffen. Her face lost its color, and she unconsciously took a step backward, almost as if she wanted to return to the cubicle. Kelsey watched her quietly, then the corner of her lips curved slightly. "I knew it." Venus's eyes widened. "What are you doing here?" Kelsey didn't answer immediately. Instead, she looked Venus up and down. Venus was wearing an outfit that matched the bag the man had been holding. She had no reason to doubt it anymore. "I came to use the restroom," she finally answered. Venus swallowed, "You're

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 144: An Unexpected Interruption

    By the time they arrived at the restaurant, the sky had already turned dark.The restaurant was one of the finest in the city. It wasn't completely private, but it was quiet enough. Only a few tables were occupied, and the soft music playing in the background made the place feel calm and comfortable.A waiter immediately approached them and led them to a table near the window. Ramon pulled out the chair for Kelsey before taking the seat opposite her.Kelsey looked around the restaurant calmly. It was beautiful."I was hoping you'd like it," Ramon said.She looked at him. "You come here often?""Not really."Kelsey said nothing. She had only asked because she noticed how he seemed to know his way around, even though the waiter was the one leading them.Soon, the waitress came with the menus.Ramon looked at Kelsey. "Order whatever you want."Kelsey opened the menu and began looking through it. After a few minutes, she placed their order, making sure none of the food contained nuts. She

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 143: A Dinner For Two

    The evening arrived faster than Kelsey expected. By the time she finished getting ready, the sun had already begun to disappear from the sky.Kelsey stood in front of the mirror for a moment, looking at herself.The beautiful gown and shoes she had found in the box kept on the table were clearly chosen for her. She didn't need to ask who had left them there. She knew Ramon must have kept them there. It wasn't the first time he had done something like that, but she hadn't expected him to go that far just for a dinner.After making a few final adjustments to her hair, Kelsey left her room and headed downstairs.As she reached the living room, she noticed Ramon standing near the sofa.He was speaking quietly to Kendrick. The little boy had his arms folded across his chest, his face carrying a clear look of displeasure.Kelsey slowed down.She couldn't hear what they were saying from where she stood, but it was obvious Kendrick wasn't happy about whatever his father was telling him.Then

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 142: The Truth Behind Her Disappearance

    Dimitri remained seated behind his desk, staring at Gwen. The proposal in his hands had become completely meaningless.His mind kept going back to the same question.How could she be alive?He had seen her after the accident. He had seen the blood. He had heard that she died. He had spent years believing it. Ramon and he had become enemies because of that.Yet she was sitting right in front of him.Alive.And she was talking about business like nothing had happened.Dimitri slowly placed the documents on the desk. He opened his mouth to speak, but the only word that came out was..."How?"Gwen let out a sigh. She understood him, but she didn't rush to answer. She simply looked at him for a moment before letting out a soft breath."I know this is difficult to understand."Dimitri shook his head slightly,"I just don't understand how you could be alive all these years and nobody knew.""Nobody knew because I didn't want anyone to know."Dimitri's brows drew together,"Why?"Gwen smiled, "

    Kelsey stepped out of her room after changing into the dress. The soft fabric brushed gently against her skin as she carefully held the side of the gown, afraid she might accidentally step on it. For a moment, she stood quietly outside her door. It had been a very long time since she dressed up

    Kelsey fell hard to the floor, her palm scraping painfully against the marble tiles.Her cheek burned badly from the two slaps Doris had given her, and before she could even recover, another harsh voice rang through the living room.“How dare you come back here after what you did to Kendrick?!”Kel
