Adam was surprised to see the scattered books without the apprentice. Raising an eyebrow, he took the cake he had bought into the kitchen. But apparently, Amber wasn't there either. "Where did that Stupid Woman go?" Adam muttered while putting the box on the dining table. "Is she rummaging through the workroom again?" Wasting no time, the man went to check. He was ready to be angry. That's the most powerful way to neutralize his feelings. However, when he found an empty room, he frowned. "Where is she?" Not finding the woman in the bedroom or bathroom, Adam started calling. "Amber?" After a few seconds, no response was detected. Adam then couldn’t deny. He was really worried. With an irritated face, he checked every window. However, there was not a single light out there. Even the sun had hidden perfectly behind the earth, leaving a blue tinge that would soon turn black. "Could it be that she went to the lake?" Adam muttered while squinting. He hoped to catch the beam of flashlig

With stiff gesture, Adam moved closer to the bed. His eyes were shaky. He did not dare to look at his ex. "Hmm, about that ...." "Why did the doctor ask about my last period?" Amber asked impatiently. Not knowing what to say, Adam gulped. Slowly, he lowered his head and started scratching his temple. "The doctor said ...." Grimacing, he searched for a proper explanation. "Am I having a hormonal problem?" The man spontaneously peeked out of the upper corner of his eye. After a moment of silence, he answered in a flat tone. "That's right. The doctor said you’re exhausted and malnourished. That's why your hormones are disrupted." After one faint breath, Amber pulled the blanket off and lowered her feet to the floor. As he worried that she might fall, Adam reflexively grabbed her elbow. "Slowly." Amber stopped her move and furrowed an eyebrow. After narrowing her gaze, she jerked her arm and stood up by herself. "Please don't overdo it. I'm fine. You don't need to feel guilty eithe

Adam already swallowed several times, but the bathroom door had not opened yet. He couldn't wait any longer. His heart wouldn’t be at peace until Amber declared a negative result. The pounding was still erratic even though his lips kept whispering a sedative spell. "The doctor's guess must be wrong. Amber isn’t pregnant. I'm barren. There's no way I can implant a fetus in her womb." Suddenly, the door opened and Amber came out with a look full of hatred. Before Adam could say anything, the test pack in her hand flied to his shoulder. "You claim to be barren, but why is the result like this?" Amber screamed while shedding tears. Her anger was no longer contained. In an instant, Adam's shoulders dropped following the sight. After finding the evidence, his mouth gaped releasing the pressure in his chest. "It’s impossible." With her shaking hands, Amber grabbed the man's collar. "Are you happy? Are you satisfied? Then laugh! My life is ruined, Mister Smith. My plans and dreams …. You

"See? Isn't it easy?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow. With a slanted curve of lips, Amber shrugged. "That’s because you know how." After closing the fireplace door, the man turned to face his friend. "Now, are you hungry? I bought a fruit tart for your birthday cake. I hope it's still in shape." "You bought it for me?" Amber sighed in disbelief. "It's not expensive, but it looks delicious," Sebastian explained while taking his suitcase. A box neatly tied to the holder. Smiling wryly, the woman walked over to him. "Finally, I have a husband-to-be who cares about me," she murmured. Sebastian spontaneously snorted. He didn’t notice sadness in the round eyes locked on him. "I believe Julian was far more considerate, but you ignored him." Amber's expression instantly turned sour. She didn't expect her best friend to peel the old wound. "You never get tired of teasing me, huh?" While carrying the box in both hands, the man winked. "That's my hobby." Casually, he placed the fruit tart o

Adam gripped Sebastian's collar with his stout hands. His eyes were bloodshot in the darkness. As his lungs were full of rage, he let out a thunderous breath. "Listen! Amber is mine, her baby is mine, and her love is also mine. You are the one who should stay away from our lives!” Pressing the corners of his lips with tongue, Sebastian laughed dryly. “Why are you so sure that Amber loves you? If so, she wouldn't have chosen to go with me, Mister Smith. Why is she even reluctant to live with you?” "Stop that bullshit!" Sebastian straightened up and put on an insulting face. "I'm not making this up. She has accepted my proposal. We will leave your cottage tomorrow and return home to hold the wedding. Are you willing to come if we invite you?” As Adam's grip grew stronger, their distance got narrowed. “You think it's easy to separate us? Listen to me carefully! I will never let you take Amber from me.” "I didn't take her. She came to me. She was the one who hugged me first and rest
