Emily began to enjoy her days with her new status in romance. Let's say she was unlucky in this regard, but at least not with her career fortunes. She is fortunate.She was now the owner of a design and construction company, in line with her interest in design and art, although she had studied business and marketing at the time. But that didn't stop her from being passionate about what she loves.Now Emily is sitting in her room with several sheets of designs on the table right in front of her. She observes which of the pictures is the most interesting."You're still working; while you called me this morning and complained that you weren't feeling well?" Shila grumbled while preparing warm milk for Emily.Emily didn't immediately answer her best friend's nagging but stayed focused on the work in front of her. She was in good spirits, so she didn't want to dwell on complaints related to her pregnancy condition. She could not let herself become lazy just because of the erratic pregnancy

Emily was stunned when she heard the threats and challenges coming from Jason. Unusually, the man wanted to deal with Emily to make a challenge that risked many things. Although the reason was clear, to seize what Charles and Emma had given Emily, hadn't Charles prepared for his children? Or did Jason not know about it?Jason turned his body around and left Emily alone in her room in a crowded gloom. Indeed, Emily should not take and accept what the McKennel family gave her for granted. She could still work on things, but how could she refuse if this was a form of love from Charles and Emma McKennel?Emily let Jason go. She didn't want to get in the way of the man causing new problems. As for the challenges coming her way, Emily didn't want to overthink them because it would only split her focus.However, the most important thing right now is her career and what Charles has entrusted to her. Including her project with Jared.Not because Jared is someone from her past but because of a

Emily folded her legs, enjoying the fresh air and the verdant scenery. No one knew where she was, but she told Shila she would be fine. A woman in a neat light gray uniform came in carrying a tray of food for Emily. Emily replied with a thankful smile on her face. She had forgotten the last time she enjoyed solitude like this. Maybe later, when she was bored, she would invite Shila to come and keep her company. But for now, it was better to enjoy the solitude. Not for long, until Emily's mind calmed down and she could think clearly. And after a day of enjoying solitude on Bali—an island far away from her country, in a country with friendly people, and one of the most beautiful islands in the world, Emily began to feel bored. She dialed a number on her cell phone and heard the annoyed squeal of her best friend on the other side. "WHERE ARE YOU?! Please don't make me worry like this, Emily, jeez! You could make me die young from anxiety! Now tell me, where are you?!" attacked Shila,

Emily was in a quandary. She didn't want to meet anyone, but Jared's questions and statements about her made her confused.It wasn't that she couldn't handle a guy like Jared—he was just like Jason, who was often surrounded by women—but rather that she wasn't in a good mood. She was in the mood for the company party that would be held next week.She doesn't even let her best friend come to see her."I'm sorry, Jared. I still need some time alone. At least this week. I'll be back, but for the time being, I need to be alone."Emily's request was explicit, and she didn't want anyone to interrupt her vacation. Even if it was for something Jared said was important, Emily could still ignore it in favor of spending time with herself. She really won't let anyone interfere with her life right now."It's fine if you don't want me to bother you. Maybe next time we can talk about this over lunch." Emily nodded. She realized that Jared couldn't possibly see her movements at the moment. However, t

"Oh, you have the guts to return to this house?" Charles quipped to Jason, who casually stepped into the McKennel residence that he had left long ago.Charles did not mind Jason's departure when he was still with Emily. Indeed, they intended to start an independent life as a married couple. However, after separating from Emily, Jason still dared to come home and meet his parents, which was surprising."No need to insinuate me like that, Dad. You were the one who told us to separate, so it's not my fault." Jason refuted with a face that did not turn to his father.Charles would not be angry at Jason's attitude because he had faced the same thing all along. Jason was always easy to refute if he felt right—regardless of whether he was right or just winning his ego.And again, what his youngest son said was one hundred percent true. Charles asked the two to marry and then made them sign the divorce papers afterward. However, it was all because he had witnessed first-hand how much Emily su
