               “Morning,” Julian greeted the beautiful woman sitting alone in the corner of La Costa.The café had probably opened only a short while ago, making the long-haired woman its very first customer. When she turned toward him with a blank expression a few seconds later, Julian suddenly felt even more awkward.Did I say something wrong? Why hasn’t she answered my greeting?Hmm... it’s still morning, right?Julian briefly glanced at the wall clock behind the cashier. It was only half past nine. It was still morning, wasn’t it? His thoughts continued to race.“Are you here alone?” Julian asked again, hoping to get a response from Sarah. That morning, she looked different with her round-framed glasses, which made her appear much younger.“Uh... morning, Haii,” Sarah finally replied. She ha

               “Damn! Turns out handling the showroom opening is such a hassle,” Jason complained, still not intending to stop talking.“You were the one who refused to hire an event organizer,” Sarah teased, breaking into a giggle as Julian stood beside her, grilling squid.“It’s not that I refused. Reigh and I wanted to experience the excitement and the hassle of building everything from scratch,” Jason replied, mentioning his business partner in establishing one of the showrooms in Batam.“Excitement, my foot. You just end up exhausting everyone else too.”“I’ll give you a fee later.” Jason sat back down and wrapped an arm around Sarah’s shoulders.“Really? You’d better make sure it’s in my account by tomorrow morning.”“Good grief, you’re so money minded!&r

               “De- Declan … was involved in illegal drug?” Sarah repeated, clearly shocked by everything Alex had just told her.Nearly an hour had passed as Sarah and Alex had a serious conversation about what had caused Norah to fall ill and nearly become critically ill. Alex told her everything that had happened the previous week without leaving anything out. The silver-haired man didn’t even seem to mind Julian’s presence, since he still had no idea what kind of relationship the man had with Sarah.From everything she heard, Sarah was slowly able to piece the story together, from Arman’s surveillance to the moment the forbidden lovers had been caught red-handed by both of their parents. But the part that shocked her the most was, of course, the drugs.Declan? How could that be?“Shh… lower your voice.” Alex raised his

For more than a week, Declan had been unable to find any peace, especially after Norah and Alex caught him kissing Natalie and were furious with him.Ah… Natalie. Ever since learning the painful truth about that woman, Declan had been consumed by regret. He couldn't believe how cruelly he had treated Sarah and how willingly he had thrown away the woman who had once loved him with all her heart.“Declan, what are you doing here?” called out the middle-aged man who had remained cold toward him until now.“Having breakfast, Dad,” Declan answered as he glanced at the hospital cafeteria attendant.“And who's staying with your mother upstairs?”“Aunt Meri. That's why I came down here while Mom has someone to look after her. Want me to order you some coffee?” Declan offered when he saw his father pull out the chair opposite him.“No, I've already got coffee from home,” Alex declined

Sarah tossed her phone onto the bed. She still couldn't believe the decision she had made. She had called Julian and asked him to come over just to prove to Declan that everything she had said was true. Several times, Sarah rubbed her face, overwhelmed by mixed emotions. She couldn't even imagine how embarrassed she would be when she finally came face-to-face with Mrs. Kyle's second son.Unlike Sarah, Julian was currently driving toward her house with a smile plastered across his face. Without realizing it, he even hummed softly along with the music inside his car. After reading Sarah's message, the man couldn't stop smiling as he wondered what awaited him at her house.Julian's curiosity was finally answered when he arrived at Sarah's house. Her housekeeper greeted him warmly and invited him inside. However, Julian stopped in his tracks on the front terrace when he saw the man who had been the reason for Sarah's sadness for the past few months. Declan.“M
