"Wait here, Miss. I'll go to the car first. Usually, there are spare clothes for Alexander in the car," Robert said as he was about to leave, but he stopped when Casandra grabbed the edge of his jacket."No need.""Huh, why not? You're wet. Soaked, in fact.""Don't worry about me. Everything will be fine.""But, Miss!"Robert clenched his fists, frustrated by Casandra's refusal. If he continued to let her stand by the edge of the swimming pool, soaking wet, there were only two possible outcomes: catching a cold or getting a fever."No need to give me extra attention. I don't deserve it.""Ugh, Miss, this is so strange. I'm treating you like a living being, not giving you special attention. If you were a chair or a table, I would just leave you alone. Whether it's raining or hot, wet or diving into a whale pond, I wouldn't care at all."Casandra took a deep breath. "Please help me to the car. I'll just sit there."Robert shook his head. "No. If you sit there in this wet condition, then

Don't expect Casandra to wake up in Alexander's embrace. Smiling to herself, she felt pleased that she had finally conquered her husband's hardened heart. But remember, that scenario doesn't exist here because Alexander is not a man with a gentle and loving heart.He is stubborn, selfish, and devoid of compassion ever since Cesilia ignored him. That's why when Casandra woke up due to the sound of knocking and excitement outside the room, the first thing she saw was the folded laptop, an inactive computer, and a pile of papers, just as they were before she closed her eyes.Swearing to anything, her waist felt sore from sleeping in a sitting position. Her body also felt achy, experiencing chills and feverishness from not using a blanket. She was drenched last night.She should be sleeping under a blanket, not in the cold AC room."Alexander, Lex, Casandra! Wake up, Mama wants to talk. Mama wants to hear the story from both of you. Come on, wake up, and let's have breakfast!"That's roug

"I wonder why Maxime called Cecilia, causing her to be unable to refuse answering the incoming call from Alexander. Countless times he tried to reach her, from voice calls to text messages, and now a video call. He was extremely worried about his wife's condition as she hadn't provided any definite updates."Hi, honey," greeted Cecilia, waving her hand in front of the camera. Her eyes looked puffy due to lack of sleep, and she hadn't cleaned herself up since arriving in Bali.Alexander raised an eyebrow as he observed Cecilia, whose hair was disheveled, her face swollen, and her eyes showing signs of exhaustion. She didn't look like her usual self."Did you just wake up?"Cecilia nodded."Yes, I'm exhausted. I haven't slept at all. And when I finally woke up, this is how late it is," Cecilia chuckled slightly, hiding Maxime's presence as he still held her slim waist."Oh, I thought something happened to you. I haven't heard from you at all since yesterday. I miss you," Alexander said,

During their time in Bali, they would stay in a spacious room with a dividing door between the living area and the bed. This meant that Alexander could sleep separately. And that meant there was still some leniency for both of them before they decided to fulfill Meri's dream of having a grandchild."I'll stay here. Sir, please sleep in that room," Cassandra arranged, motioning for Alexander to sleep in the living room.Alexander didn't respond, but he quickly dragged his suitcase into the bedroom, leaving Cassandra alone in the living room.The girl shrugged her shoulders, already convinced that this was the response she would receive from Alexander. Whether she liked it or not, she would accept all of Alexander's flaws as his lawful wife.Once Alexander entered his room, Cassandra hurriedly checked her suitcase, searching for a change of clothes before Alexander came out. Her plan was to ask for permission to use the bathroom.She wanted to change her clothes, but when Cassandra open

Not wanting to bother thinking about Alexander and Cesilia's marriage, Cassandra chose to wander around and find a good place to eat by the beach. After struggling to leave the hotel, she felt it was a good idea to reward herself for her hard work.Moreover, since she was in Bali, it was time to enjoy the fruits of her agreement with Cesilia. After all, it was Cesilia who asked her to become Alexander's second wife, not her own desire. So there was no harm in starting to enjoy the new life that had changed so much.Yesterday, Cassandra had initially refused because she felt degraded being a paid wife. But seeing Cesilia's behavior behind Alexander's back made her think that perhaps being a second wife could be a way to heal Alexander's heart.However, that thought wasn't finalized yet. Cassandra still pondered whether she should follow the traditional path of marriage or continue on the path she had chosen. Considering that Alexander wasn't her ideal type of man.More precisely, he wa
