Her words were very motivating for him as well as changing his mood, which had been quite chaotic; hearing it made him reluctant to give Clarice a chance to meet with Tristan. He certainly didn't want to share the woman he loved with another man."Is that enough to make you feel relieved, Joshua?" asked Clarice.Joshua mumbled. "Hmm? Are you deliberately making up excuses to make me feel relieved?" Joshua couldn't imagine what it would be like if Clarice had just made up an excuse to make him feel good."N–no. I don't like making things up to make someone happy. I just want to make sure. Because if you're happy, I'm happy.""And why should you be happy?"There were so many questions that Joshua wanted to know that he se

As morning greeted her with light streaming in through the bedroom window, Clarice woke up. Her eyes blinked and when she opened them fully, she was shocked to see a feather in front of her. She inhaled a familiar scent, but she was still trying to figure out in her heart, whose scent it was as if her life had not fully gathered. This scent ... wait! I slept last night after returning from a coffee shop with Tristan. There's no way I slept with him, right? "Good morning, my beautiful lady," said a husky voice nearby. Clarice was startled awake and lifted her face to see the source of the voice. It was her fiancé, Joshua Rich Archer, who was sleeping with her and holding her. No! In fact, it was Clarice who was sleeping in his arms. She just realized that the chest hair she saw was Joshua's and just as she was about to let go of his embrace, Joshua's hands held her waist. "It's so beautiful to see you awake in clothes I've never seen before, Baby," Joshua said, expressing his thou

Joshua's face did not stiffen at all at the news. Instead, he relaxed as he watched Dennise finish speaking in front of him. Although he honestly didn't know if it was true or not, he still had to think of a plan so that Clarice wouldn't find out, or anyone else."You're lying to me.""Why would I lie to you? This baby is yours! I haven't slept with anyone but you these past few days, you asshole!""Then what do you expect from me? Marry you? Well, I'm not gonna marry anyone except Clarice."This time it was Dennise who chuckled at how Joshua had rejected her in the first place. Of course, Dennise knew that Joshua wouldn't be responsible enough to marry her and she didn't expect that from him as well."Money. I want you to on

Her head was painful, heavy, and dizzy all at the same time as she woke up from the sleep that had brought her unconscious. She grunted and swore not knowing that her fiancé, at her side, was watching her. When her eyes opened slowly, she was startled. Especially when her eyes traced his hairy chest without clothes. She hurriedly pulled up the blanket and covered her face.  "Are you real?!" asked Clarice. She felt like getting out of bed, but when under the blanket that covered her entire body, she saw herself naked. "Why do you have to cover yourself up, Baby? Where's your morning kiss, huh?" "Did we–" "Yes, we did. You were drunk and asked me to do it." Even though sh

The wedding day was just one day away. Clarice couldn't hide her nervousness, because, after all, she was getting married to the man who would control her life after this– not after this, but even before also. Joshua and Clarice agreed that they wouldn't see each other until the wedding came. Joshua, who knew that Clarice didn't have many close relatives, sent some of his employees to be her bridesmaids and accompany her until Clarice and Joshua actually met. Clarice's parents ... of course they came to accompany their daughter too. They were happy that a man was finally willing to marry their daughter. But they didn't know what was going on, although there were also questions that made them curious when they found out that Clarice's future husband was the big brother of the late Joel. On Joshua's orders, which she couldn't refuse, Clarice was told to get treatment at the salon where Joshua had made an appointment for her. Clarice couldn't resist when he was acting, as he always di
