Chapter 41

Third Person's POVAnnabelle stepped out of the cab after paying the driver. Her eyes captured the name of the restaurant, written in bold letters.“Saftron and Stone,” she read quietly.She wore a mini dress made of rich, copper-toned satin that gleamed under the lights. The halter top crossed over her chest in a sharp V, while the fabric gathered tightly at her hip before spilling down into a cascading ruffle. The fluid hemline brushed her mid-thigh, moving softly with every step she took.Her hair was let down. She wore thick, chunky gold hoop earrings and a gold cuff bracelet on her left wrist. In her right hand, she carried a small, structured box clutch in shimmering champagne gold. Its hard, textured shell caught the light with a soft sparkle, perfectly anchoring her look.“I put so much effort into looking this good. My date better be worth it,” she said to herself.Entering the restaurant, her eyes scanned the place as she searched for her date—she wouldn't know him even if s

Chapter 42

Third Person's POVAnnabelle gently placed her wine on the table and looked directly into Steve's eyes.“I didn't come on this date to ask what your favorite food or colors are.” She placed her right elbow on the table and rested her chin on the back of her palm. “Let's just get straight to the point and know if this will work or not,” she said with a straight face, but secretly, she was hoping her words and nonchalant attitude hadn't blown this up.Steve's eyebrows raised as he stared at her with a smirk. “I already see us working, but ask any questions you have, and I will answer them truthfully.”He held her gaze, his smirk growing bigger. Why does our date suddenly feel like an interrogation? Annabelle questioned herself. She looked away from him and coughed lightly.“Why did you agree to come on this date? Did your mom show you a photo of me?”He shook his head slowly. “No, I never saw a photo of you, and I never wanted to come.”“Then why did you come? What changed your mind?”H

Chapter 43

Amber's POVIt was around 7pm by the time I was done having dinner, while Vincent was in the bathroom taking his bath. I lay on the bed and dialed Annabelle's number, hoping she'd be done with her date by now. Luckily, she picked up after a few rings."Hey, pumpkin, your sisi might be in a new relationship soon!!" she exclaimed, the excitement in her voice loud and clear."Oh, really?" I quickly sat up and rested my back against the headboard, ready to hear the whole gist. "How was it, then? What do you think of him?" I asked, referring to her date.I heard her take a deep breath. "First thing first, he's your husband's best friend.""My husband's best friend..." I trailed off as I recalled Vincent telling me about how his friend also had a blind date to attend. My eyes widened and I gaped unbelievably. What a coincidence!"Secondly, he matches my energy. Take a deep breath," she cautioned herself as she inhaled deeply, but that couldn't hold her explosion. "And thirdly, he's everythi

Chapter 45

Amber's POVI felt conflicted as she stared at me expectantly. I wanted to be honest with her, but I wasn't sure whether Vincent would approve of that. As if Vincent telepathically felt my conflict, a text from him popped up on my phone, and a relieved smile crept onto my face after silently reading it. 'Mi Amor, you can answer any question she asks you honestly.'"So...?" Unnie asked, getting more eager to hear my reply."We're expecting.""Wowwww!" she squealed, bouncing on her seat.Her reaction and mannerism reminded me so much of Annabelle, and I couldn't hold back my laughter. Honestly, she looked like she was in her early forties or late thirties but behaved just like Annabelle. Would Annabelle be like this in her forties, too? That would be awesome."I knew it! You have that pregnancy glow around you.""Really?" This was our first meeting, and she could already tell I was pregnant even before I told her? Technically, I only confirmed her suspicion."Yeah. How many months?" She

Chapter 46

Amber's POVAs soon as we entered the car, Mr. Sebastian started driving. I looked behind and saw Mr. Lee's car following behind."I'm sorry for putting you through this stress, Mi Amor," Vincent apologized out of nowhere, reaching forward and tucking some hair strands behind my ear.I rolled my eyes. "It's fine. Unnie is fun to be with.""The fun wore you out."He leaned forward and pulled out a small bottle of water from the center console. He opened the cap and handed it to me.I gave him a confused frown, and he simply replied with, "Drink some water."I didn't realize how dehydrated I was until the bottle touched my mouth. I was shocked at how much water I consumed, although I couldn't finish it. We sat in silence, and I remembered how I had just found out about his connection with The Sovereign restaurant and wanted to talk to him about it, but decided against it because this wasn't the right place or time."Mi Amor, what do you think about Mr. Lee?" he asked.I gaped at him.

Chapter 48

Amber's POVI opened my eyes to the sound of my phone's alarm ringing. I had set an alarm last night to help me wake up early because I didn't want to miss today's morning dose. Reaching for my phone, I turned off the alarm, then sat up and stretched my limbs. A hiss escaped my lips when I felt my neck was stiff—I guess my neck wasn't in a great position.Looking towards the bed, I saw that Vincent was still deeply asleep. I wonder if he would have any memory of our little moment last night."I guess I'll be the one to pick Tori up." Tori (Victoria in full) is Vincent's younger sister, and she's been studying abroad since she was seventeen years old—she's twenty-four years old now.I got up and headed towards the bathroom to get ready. I didn't spend too much time in the bathroom since it was already quarter past five, and my mother-in-law said to arrive at the airport by six. Deciding not to do too much, I wore a halter blouse, a pair of blue baggy jeans, and a pair of black leather

Chapter 49

Third Person's POVChloe and Tori made it outside the airport. While they were waiting for their cab, Amber came."Tori, I came in Vincent's car. If you'd like to...""What are you still doing here?" Tori interrupted her. "I don't want to see you. I want you gone from my sight.""Listen, Tori...""I won't listen," Tori screamed, catching the attention of passersby. Some even stopped to see what was going on. "I don't want anything to do with a woman who married her sister's fiancé."The onlookers started pointing fingers at Amber and talking about her, scorning her and shaking their heads in disbelief. Amber sighed, clenching her fists to bottle up her anger, or else she would behave like a mad woman and fight both Tori and Chloe right there."Fine. I'll leave you be." She glanced at Chloe before walking away.The little crowd that had formed dispersed just as fast as it had formed after Amber left.Tori glared towards the direction Amber went. She felt pained that she wasn't around d
