"Uncle? Why are you here?" she asked, surprised.   "I thought your habit of feeling sick after smelling perfume was gone. You seemed fine yesterday when you shared a car with Phoebe." Gladwin said again. Flavia just smiled and walked away from Gladwin towards the kitchen.   "I'm just not feeling well, Uncle. It's not the perfume's fault," she gracefully deflected. She did feel unwell due to lack of sleep, not because of excessive work. It was a result of constantly thinking about her conversation with Abigail earlier, combined with the tension of waiting for her mother's delivery.   Gladwin stood in front of her and placed the back of his hand on Flavia's forehead. Flavia widened her eyes, surprised by her uncle's impulsive gesture. "Uncle?" She looked up at him.   "You're a bit warm," he said casually. "What do you feel? Headache? Nausea?" Flavia tried to gently push away her uncle's hand. &

Flavia was confused. The emotions in her chest were now mixed. Joy, happiness, touched, sadness, doubt, and fear came all at once. Once again, Flavia was unsure of herself. Not because of her feelings of love, as it was clear that those feelings still existed without Gladwin having to try hard to bring them out.   Other thoughts that came in succession made her afraid. Rejection, sharp gazes, the feeling of being isolated. All of that now haunted Flavia's mind. Especially the fear of not being able to fulfill the desires of her closest people. The fear that she couldn't make Gladwin happy in the end.   "I can't, Uncle."   "I can't promise that I will always bring you happiness because life is not always about happiness and laughter. I also know that my choice in the future won't be easily accepted by others. But I won't give up. It's not others who will create my happiness; I myself will create it," replied Gladwin confi

"Is that so?" Claire chimed in. "If this is the case, honestly, I'm ashamed to admit you as my older brother. You're thirty-five years old and still single? Antony already has Flavia at your age now."   "I thought only Mom's mouth always spat out harsh words. Turns out yours is just as sharp," Gladwin glared at Claire. "Listen to me. I choose to remain single because I want to, not because I'm not sought after by women. I don't want to be labeled as a playboy like your ex-boyfriend who liked to bring women here and there but never committed to a relationship, let alone marriage." Gladwin's sharp retort was directed at Antony.   This time, Antony choked on his food. Claire gently patted her husband's back. It was evident that Gladwin's accusation was aimed at Antony and his past before marrying Claire.   "I'm afraid of karma. What if there's a guy who plays with my niece or my child in the future? It's one thing if it's j

"The guy at the bookstore. Why can you smile at him like that? Even without your smile, he's already interested in you. But you captivate him with your beautiful smile." Gladwin expressed it with a hint of annoyance he didn't try to hide.   Gladwin was jealous? Of a stranger who introduced himself? Flavia didn't even share her phone number. But Gladwin reacted this way?   "And that number eighteen." He continued. Flavia furrowed her brow even more.   "Eighteen?"   "Yeah. The skinny guy and his chubby friend." Her uncle reminded Flavia of the two men who greeted her in the restaurant, who happened to be her former schoolmates having lunch in the same place they did earlier. But why the number eighteen? Flavia wondered silently.   "In my eyes, they look like the numbers one and eight," Gladwin replied, causing Flavia to bite her lip to hold back laughter. Her uncle had returned to

"I'm just asking for Grandma's opinion, Dad. Is that wrong?" "You can love Flavia, but it doesn't mean you can be disrespectful to your grandmother." "I just want Grandma not to look down on Flavia." Abigail replied again. "Abigail..." Julie Hampton looked at her granddaughter with a puzzled look. Why was Abigail reacting like this? Why were they discussing Flavia? "What really happened with Flavia? What's with five years ago? Can someone explain?" Gladwin looked at his sister, brother-in-law, mother, and also his niece. "Grandma just explained everything to Uncle a moment ago. No matter how much Uncle loves Flavia, your relationship will never get her approval. Flavia is a flawed woman. The likelihood of her giving offspring to Uncle is very small. That's the reason why Flavia rejected Uncle." Abigail's answer left the other three stunned. "What does this mean, Abigail?" Julie Hampton looked at her granddaughter and then at her son. "What do you mean by saying that your uncle l
