Once the bedroom door was opened, Gabriella stared at her husband who suddenly got up from the edge of the bed. After placing the phone on the table, Max scratched the back of his head then pointed towards the bathroom. "Let me take a shower first," he said in a strange tone. The woman blinked flatly. The husband's behavior had raised questions that are reluctant to be disclosed. "Just do it. I will not take the shower from you," Gabriella said as if she didn't care. A second later, Max nodded and rushed into the bathroom. His hasty steps made his wife even more curious. "What's wrong with him?" Without thinking, Gabriella stepped towards her husband's previous position. From there, she could see two teddies placed side by side on the bed and his cell phone on the table. "Is he hiding something from me?" thought the woman as she took the cell phone. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she examined it carefully. Call history, incomi

"Do you expect that I really love you?" Max said while supporting his head with one hand. The smile beneath his narrowed eyes managed to intimidate Gabriella. "Don't hope. It's just, I have the right to know that you do have feelings for me," the woman said with an awkward blink. She didn't know if her tone was right or not. But, she was already trying her best to sound firm. For a few moments, the couple stared at each other in silence. The two of them read each other's eyes that were both doubtful. "So, do you expect love from me?" Max asked breaking the silence. Looking at the lopsided smile on the man's face, annoyance grew rapidly in Gabriella's heart. With furrowed brows, she protested. "You always throw back questions from me. Are you afraid that your true feelings will be exposed? Or do you really like to make me wonder?” Instead of being intimidated, the curve of the man's lips grew wider. “If you're wondering, doesn't that mean you t

"Do you still have Max's favorite cookie recipe?" Gabriella asked with sparkling eyes.In an instant, the butler was astonished to see the woman who suddenly approached her."Yes, Madam. Would you like to learn it?”Gabriella shook her head with a crooked smile. "I want to make it now."Minnie blinked in disbelief. After noticing the change in young woman's eyes, she hurriedly took out a tattered book from the cupboard."Do you need help to make it?"Again, Gabriella shook her head. “I can make it by myself. Thank you."Enthusiastically, the young woman prepared her little surprise. Never once did she frown. Something burning in the chest had pumped the spirit to make the husband smile."I hope my decision is not wrong," she thought every time worry came.***When night fell, Gabriella waited in the living room with a glass jar decorated with a red ribbon. The gingerbread neatly arranged inside looked

"Didn't you promise to come home on time, Sir? Why did you just arrive now?” Minnie asked as Max stepped inside. The man's face spontaneously curled up. "Please don't add to my guilt. There was an unexpected job earlier," the CEO said, grinning. "Where's Gabriella? Is her in the room?” "Yes. Since this afternoon—" "Thanks, Auntie," Max interrupted as he hurried up the stairs. The butler who was about to report, became amazed at his speed. “But Master ….” The man just raised his hand, stating that he couldn't wait to meet Gabriella. Realizing that Max's spirit was too high, the butler sighed in resignation. "I hope he can handle his wife." With furrowed brows, Minnie let the man into the room. "Gabriella?" Max whispered after closing the door. The woman lying on the bed didn't answer. "Is she asleep?" the man thought, not daring to speak. After rolling his eyes for a moment, a crooked smile appeared on hi

“What else are you doing, Sir? Why is Madam crying?” Minnie inquired after making sure Gabriella entered the room. "I accidentally touched her," Max said flatly. The butler's eyes widened. "Why did you do such a careless thing?" she grumbled. "She almost fell. I caught her reflexively," the man explained with deep furrows. After imagining what had happened, the old woman sighed and lowered her voice. "What's your next plan, then?" "I don't know. My mind is stuck. It looks like, Gabriella won't trust me anymore," Max said while looking down. "Why are you so easily discouraged like this?" "I've broken my own words, and she thinks I stole the opportunity on purpose," the man explained before clutching his throbbing head. After a moment of silence, Minnie finally expressed her opinion, "If that's so, you should give her some time alone." "What do you mean, Auntie?" Max grabbed with a sharp look in his eyes.
