Valencia accepted it without much comment. But her fingers lingered briefly over the rose petals, cool and freshly dewed.“Hm,” she murmured. “Presentable.”Clara, who had been observing closely, smiled widely. “Calla lilies always look expensive when arranged like that. Excellent choice.”“Because Mrs. Valencia doesn’t care for anything too crowded,” Auri replied gently.Valencia glanced at her, her expression unreadable—was that approval, or a subtle jab? Even though she didn’t seem certain.“Well, for me, I’d like something different,” Marissa said brightly. “I’m hosting a dinner tonight. My husband’s colleagues are coming. I need something for the dining table—luxurious, but not so tall that it blocks people’s view.”Auri nodded in understanding. “A long table or a round one?”“Long. Eight seats

“For some reason, I actually enjoyed that visit,” Gia said as she swept the leftover stems and leaves into a small trash basket. She had already told Auri several times not to stand for too long, yet the woman still busied herself with ribbons and wrapping paper.“Why would you enjoy it?” Auri asked, still focused on folding a strip of satin ribbon into a neat little bow. Tomorrow morning, five arrangements for Lucas had to be delivered on time. Not even one could be flawed.The man had messaged earlier, increasing the order and asking for it to be delivered as soon as possible before the memorial began. Auri intended to fulfill the request of her loyal customer as perfectly as she could.“Don’t tell me you didn’t notice,” Gia chuckled softly. “When Mrs. Clara and Mrs. Marissa started praising our shop… your mother-in-law’s face—honestly, I wish I’d taken a picture and framed it.&rdqu

“I want to talk.”Auri looked at him directly.The memory of the scene at Peanut Café’s parking lot rushed back mercilessly—how naturally he had stood there protecting another woman, how instinctively he had shielded Anna without a second thought. The way he had looked at her, spoken to her, cared for her… as if she were someone deeply important in his life.“I’m working,” Auri said, turning back to the flowers in front of her. Just recalling the scene had already ruined her mood.“This won’t take long.”“I don’t have time,” Auri replied firmly. “Besides, we’re about to close.”“How long are you going to keep acting like this?” Ethan asked impatiently.The moment their eyes met again, regret flickered across his face. That hadn’t been the tone he intended to use. He had come to his wife’s shop to talk&m

His phone rang, cutting through the tension. Ethan glanced briefly at the screen before rejecting the call. He clicked his tongue under his breath, clearly annoyed by the interruption.“Get that ridiculous idea out of your head, Auri,” he said firmly. “What you’re implying is no different from accusing me of cheating.”Auri held his gaze without flinching. “If the child Anna is carrying isn’t yours, then why do you defend her so fiercely? I honestly don’t understand, Ethan. Everything you do is driving me insane.”Did Auri believe his explanation?Of course not.Every doubt inside her had already formed into a single, bitter conclusion: Ethan had a special relationship with Anna. It couldn’t possibly be just friendship. What kind of sense did it make for a married man to defend another woman while ignoring his own wife?And then ask that wife to understand situations that m

“How are you feeling?” Gia asked the moment she saw Auri step out of her room.Not long after Ethan left the night before, Auri had complained about a sharp pain in her stomach. Gia had urged her to go to the hospital, but Auri refused and asked only for time to rest.Still, Gia couldn’t help worrying. Especially since Auri was staying at the shop by herself. The thought that something might happen to her—particularly in her condition—made Gia uneasy.“I’m fine,” Auri said with a bright smile.And she meant it. Her face looked radiant—not because of the soft, natural makeup she wore, but because something about her aura had changed. She seemed calmer, lighter… far better than she had been yesterday.“Thank goodness,” Gia said with relief. “If you start feeling unwell again, let me handle everything. Mr. Lucas’s order must be delivered by ten.”“I

A few minutes earlier.“I need to use the restroom for a moment, Ethan,” Anna said in a quiet whisper.Amid the growing crowd of guests filling the hall, she stood at Ethan’s side with an ease that made it seem perfectly natural—as if that was exactly where she belonged tonight. The soft, knee-length dress she wore made the curve of her pregnant belly unmistakably visible. A few guests even glanced their way with warm smiles as they passed.Ethan had never intended to attend this event.When the invitation first arrived a few days ago, his reaction had been simple: he placed it on his desk without bothering to read the details.A memorial hosted by the Fabio family.Seeing the name alone had been enough to kill his interest.Lucas Fabio was one of his business rivals—and not a minor one. A few major projects had nearly slipped out of Ethan’s hands because of that man. So at

She paused briefly before adding in a quieter tone, “Luckily Ethan arrived just in time… otherwise I really don’t know what I would’ve done.”The name was spoken casually—but it was enough to tighten the air between them. Auri’s gaze shifted slightly, growing colder. Good. Anna noticed it immediately.So Auri was still affected whenever Ethan’s name came up.Wasn’t that exactly what she wanted? The more jealousy Auri felt, the greater the distance between her and Ethan would grow.And Anna’s place would remain secure—firmly positioned as the fragile woman Ethan had to protect, the one who needed his constant attention.When Auri still didn’t respond, Anna spoke again.“Mathias showed up again,” she said quietly. “You know… my ex-husband.”She lowered her gaze, her voice softening. “He demanded money and tried to force me to go

“Why did it take you so long?” Gia asked, her curiosity tinged with worry. “Are you okay?”Her eyes were filled with concern. Ever since Auri said she was going to the restroom, Gia hadn’t been able to relax. She had lost count of how many times she’d glanced toward the corridor where Auri had disappeared.“I’m fine,” Auri replied with a faint smile. “Has the ceremony started?”Gia nodded. “I think so… about ten minutes ago.”Auri pulled her chair a little closer to the table. Several light refreshments had been arranged neatly—slices of melon, grapes, and kiwi displayed in a simple but elegant spread. She picked up a piece of melon and ate it slowly while her eyes drifted toward the small stage at the far end of the hall.The lights dimmed slightly.Moments later, a middle-aged man stepped onto the podium.“Good afternoon, honored guests,

“It really is.” Auri quickly took out her phone. “Please, may I have your bank account number? I’ll transfer the excess back.”Lucas chuckled softly. “Consider it an additional token of appreciation.”“I can’t accept this.”“Auri—”“Mr. Lucas.”Another voice suddenly cut into their conversation. Auri turned—and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw who had approached.Ethan.He stepped toward them, his expression impossible to read. And just as Auri expected, Anna stood right beside him. Ethan’s gaze immediately fell on the envelope in Auri’s hand.“Interesting,” he said flatly.Auri exhaled quietly, refusing to respond to his remark.“I didn’t realize your flower shop now provides special services for my business rival.”Lucas lifted an eyebrow slightly. “I&rsq

The drive home felt far quieter than usual.Anna had considered speaking to Ethan several times, but each time she stopped herself. Ethan clearly didn’t want to be disturbed. He drove without saying a word. His hands gripped the steering wheel too tightly, as though the memories from tonight’s event were still replaying in his mind.City lights streaked past the car windows like blurred lines of gold and white. But in Ethan’s mind, only one face kept appearing.Auri.The way she had slapped his hand away.The way she had addressed him so coldly—Mr. Ethan Harrow.Ethan’s jaw tightened. Without realizing it, he struck the edge of the steering wheel in frustration. What had made Auri behave like that?Yesterday, during their conversation at her flower shop, Ethan had been certain she was considering his request to return home.He had already found a safe place for Anna. Unfortunately, he hadn
