Bastian left the market feeling so upset. As he got out of the market, he threw the bouquet he held in his hand, went into his car, and sat down. He stared at his shirt and said, "What rubbish, Amy? What do you take me for?" He turned on his engine and wanted to drive away, but then he stopped and thought for a while, "This must a deliberate attempt by Amy to push me away. No, I cannot give up. If I walk away now, Amy would be happy that her plans have succeeded." He looked at his shirt one more time, turned around, and began going back to the market.He almost lost his way as he found it difficult to locate the shop where he left Amy. After walking around for a while, he asked someone to direct him to where they sold fish, and he was directed to the place. When he got there, Amy saw him and was surprised. "You're back?" she asked. He said, "Yes, I am back.""Why? Amy asked. "Are you here for revenge?" He chuckled and replied, "No, I'm here to relieve you. I want to help." "H

Amy wanted to close the door in Bastian's face, but he held it with one of his hands and said, "You look very beautiful, by the way, Amy." She rolled her eyes. "Let go of my door." However, Bastian pushed the door slightly more open and entered the house. Amy moved backward and said, "I thought we agreed that this attitude is not acceptable for a man who's trying to woo me." Bastian nodded, "I know, I know, I just need to give you something." "And what is that?" Amy asked. He took out his right hand, which he had hidden behind him, and handed a bouquet to her. "Well, the flowers I got yesterday were ruined, so I got some more flowers for you. Here." Amy stared at the flowers and said, "I hate flowers, so I can't take this from you. You can go back with it." Bastian said, "Really! Alright then, it's fine if you hate flowers. At the very least, I know something you do not hate." And what is that?" Amy asked. Bastian quickly cupped her cheeks and kissed her. She tried to push him

After ending her call with Tina, Amy sighed. Bastian smiled and said, "Hmmm, well, I guess your mood has improved now. So what do you say about that date? Please don't say no, Amy. It would mean a lot to me. I'm begging you.""Amy nodded. "Alright. We'll go on the date, but not now. I have things to do.""It's not a problem. I can wait," Bastian replied. "I wanted us to go this afternoon, but you still have things to do. So, how about later in the evening?""Okay," Amy replied. "I have to supply fish. Although I didn't really want to open today, I have some customers who want to buy in bulk. So I'll quickly rush to the market in the afternoon and supply to them. After that, I can come back, and then we'll go for the date, but I hope you can leave me be after that."Bastian chuckled, "Leave you? Okay, fine. I'll just wait here for you. I mean, what's the need for me to go back home?""No, don't wait here for me. This is my cousin's house. It's not mine.""Come on," Bastian said. "I wo

Bastian arrived at the hotel where Amy was lodging and went up to her room. He knocked on the door, but she wouldn't open it. He kept knocking, asking her to open it, yet Amy refused to open the door. Left with no other choice, he turned and left the hotel. As she sat in the room, Amy kept shaking her head. She could not understand why she was so hurt. This was who Bastian was. He brought girls to the house and had sex with them in front of her. She had seen it so many times, and yet each time she found a way to forgive him even though he was never remorseful. However, this time, Bastian was willing to apologize, but she wasn't ready to forgive him. "Why Tina?" She kept asking herself. "Why did it have to be Tina, Bastian? Of course, I know that you can't take your eyes off girls. Each time you see a girl, no matter how she looks, you forget about what it means to be a responsible man. You forget about the fact that you are married. But why did it have to be my cousin? Perhaps that

A FEW HOURS EARLIER Armstrong opened his eyes at the hospital. He looked around the room and after a while, he figured out where he was, and his mind went back to the accident he had earlier suffered. At this moment, Courtney opened the door and walked into the room. "Oh my God!" she exclaimed. "You're awake, Armstrong!" She ran to his side and kissed him on his cheeks. Armstrong stared weakly at her in surprise. "Courtney? What the hell? Why are you even here?""Don't say anything, let me call the doctor now. You must be feeling very weak," she said and ran out of the room. The doctor came in and checked him. During that period, Courtney called his mom, who had gone back home to freshen up, and she hurried to the hospital. When she came back, the doctor had given Armstrong some medicine and helped him sit up. He stared at Courtney and his mom, who were both sitting happily beside him and asked his mom, "What is she doing here?" "Relax," his mom replied. "Armstrong, you just wok
