"Mam... Mam..." Anna crawled and her gaze turned towards the door leading outside. With great effort, she tried to stand up by holding onto something. After she managed to stand up, she let go and clapped her hands while laughing. But then, she lost her balance and fell back on her bottom, crying loudly just as Brian entered the house."Cup.. Cup.. Cup. Did Daddy's beautiful girl fall down? Who's being naughty?" Brian scooped up Anna after putting down his work bag. Anna immediately stopped crying and playfully patted Brian's face while laughing, displaying her four little white teeth."Welcome home, my dear," Nadine said as she tried to reach for Baby Anna. However, Anna firmly held onto Brian's tie when Nadine tried to take her from Brian's arms."Is Daddy's princess still missing me?" Brian teased before planting a loving kiss on Anna's chubby cheek."Don't make Mama jealous, little one," Nadine retorted when Anna resisted being handed over to her. Brian just smiled before giving N

"Ra, why do I prefer Epic Caffe! It's so nice there, the atmosphere is refreshing, and when I come here with my partner, it's romantic! Oops... I slipped!" Laura said while closing her lips."Alright, breastfeeding mom is hungry now. Hurry up, Ra, order some food; the worm inside my stomach is protesting and demanding its share!" Arabella protested, nudging Laura's arm, her eyes pointing in Aurora's direction."Look, this single girl is crushing on a foreign guy," Laura responded while holding Aurora's chin and turning the girl's face toward her."You guys are bothering me. I'm enjoying the beautiful view here!" Aurora protested because she felt her happiness was disturbed by her two friends."Just go introduce yourself, don't just drool," Laura urged, pushing Aurora's shoulder as a form of protest."But, Ra, in my opinion, that guy doesn't fit the criteria to be our parents' future son-in-law," Arabella reminded while also observing the man in the corner of the cafe, who was seriousl

Aurora was getting ready to escape from her friends, Arabella and Laura, when her wristwatch showed it was 11 in the morning. Her mission this time had to succeed – she needed to get Dave's contact number. But, if she met her two friends, her plan would definitely go awry. With small, quick steps, Aurora headed toward the campus parking lot. Only when she was inside her car could she finally breathe a sigh of relief. If Aurora were to tell her friends that she was trying to get closer to Dave, they would surely object. Just yesterday, Arabella had protested about Dave's appearance and tattoos. However, her primary goal in bringing Laura and Arabella to DJ Cafe was to seek their support.Aurora slightly increased her driving speed to get to her destination quickly. She worried that she might not be able to meet Dave because that peculiar man always came and went at the same time. It took her just 15 minutes, and her red Honda BR-V was elegantly parked in front of DJ Cafe. Today, Aurora

Aurora checked her appearance one more time. She tied her blonde hair into a model's bun, leaving a few strands to frame her face. She then pursed her lips to tidy up her nude-colored lipstick. She wore a milo-colored sabrina-style top paired with knee-length culottes with a pattern of milo and black stripes that accentuated her seductive figure.She took a deep breath before stepping into the café, exhaling slowly to calm her irregular heartbeat that always occurred when she was about to meet Dave."It's still 9 o'clock; Dave should still be inside," Aurora murmured to herself as she walked past the friendly security personnel."Excuse me, I'd like to meet Mr. Dave. Could you please call him for me?" Aurora asked politely to a male employee who was passing by."Sorry, Miss, Mr. Dave just left," the male employee replied politely. He recognized Aurora as one of DJ Caffee's loyal customers."Left? Can you at least give me his phone number or address?" Aurora asked again, still looking

Aurora rubbed her throbbing head and slowly opened her heavy eyelids. Her body froze when she realized she was in an unfamiliar room. The room, entirely white, was definitely not the hotel room she had booked, a room with brown tones and wooden ornaments. She quickly threw off the blanket that covered her body. Tears welled up in her eyes when she realized that she was wearing only a white men's shirt without an undergarment.Aurora collapsed on the floor, hugging her knees, her tears flowing silently. She rocked back and forth while trying to remember what had happened to her the previous night."Rocky! No, it can't be him!" Aurora whispered tearfully.Slowly, she got up and walked towards the balcony. In front of her was the open sea, with waves playfully chasing each other. She stood on the edge of the cliff. If her state of mind weren't so chaotic, this moment would have been an unforgettable and beautiful one, being in a villa on top of a hill with an incredibly beautiful view."
