"He built a greenhouse for you?" Jim's first reaction when Angel told him what Dave had done was, to his great surprise. "Is that so, Angel?"
"Now the greenhouse is finished, and he's offered to drive me to buy some unique varieties to fill the greenhouse." Angel held her breath as her eyes glanced at the beauty of the greenhouse that now stood tall and luxurious, reflecting the sunlight that made it sparkle.
Jim seemed pensive on the other side. "Are you sure that Dave did it sincerely without any intentions behind it?"
"I do not know."
Angel herself had her doubts, but so far, Dave had been really nice to her. The man took care of her, always asked her condition and no more hurtful harsh words. Angel suddenly realized that Dave was serious about what he said that because of the arrival of their baby, he would change his attitude.
Although his attitude did not return to the loving attitude he showed before marrying Angel, at least Dave had appreci

Dave called his mother and asked her to come to the office, and since his mother was nearby, she was able to meet him. Dave looked at his beautiful and elegant looking mother, of course. If she cannot look beautiful, it will be in vain for her mother to take care of herself like that."One of my employees said that Mother had visited Angel a few months ago."Jenny raised an eyebrow at Dave's question. "I thought you knew that for a long time, why are you only asking now?""I didn't think it was important before." Dave glared at Jenny. "Did you see or have any contact with Angel after that, recently?"Jenny looked at Dave confusedly. "I did not. I did intend to contact Angel in the near future, but haven't had the time yet, why are you asking that?"Dave's gaze was still as sharp. "Did you tell Angel about Daisy?"Jenny looked taken aback. "No, I never told her." She seemed to think for a moment. "But I accidentally mentioned Daisy's name in

The building was like a well-maintained and luxurious Dutch colonial building, and the garden, the wide front garden, is very beautiful and well-maintained. Angel glanced at Jim, if it was Jim who was in charge of taking care of this garden, he would take care of it with all his heart because the garden is truly, incredibly beautiful."Come on." Jim half led her into the house.Angel followed slowly behind him, alert. Her mind raced. What is the girl named Daisy like? What will her reaction when she sees Angel? Will she get angry and hurt Angel? Or will she be sad and cry like Angel's first reaction when she found out about Daisy? Has Daisy known about Angel for a long time? Or is she the same as Angel?

When Angel opened her eyes, she was already in the hospital. The room was all white and smelled of medicine. She touched her stomach and immediately sat up anxiously.A strong hand held her."Relax, Angel. Your baby will be fine."Angel turned and saw Dave holding her with one hand. The man looked pale and had a bandage on his arm; apparently, Jim's shot hit his arm.Dave followed Angel's gaze into his arm and grimaced."It's not fatal; it just grazed my arm-"Angel looked at Dave worriedly. “Jim? Daisy?"“Jim was shot in the hand too, by the police. He is now being cared for in police custody. Daisy is fine; she's under the guidance of a psychiatrist."Angel thought about Jim's mother and siblings and suddenly felt anxious. "What about Jim's family?""Police have informed them, they are now at the police station.""They must be confused." Angel grimaced sadly.“Just as confused as you are

The feeling of loss is not something that time heals easily. The pain was still the same as new even after so many weeks. Angel doubted that she would be able to ease these feelings; relieve her gnawing pain even after so many years have passed.Angel refuses to come out of her room for days, has no appetite or grooms herself. Most of the day, her mind felt empty. She did it on purpose because every time she forced her brain to think, then the figure of the baby who did not succeed in being born into the world will land in her mind and her heart will feel like being squeezed by pseudo hands again and again.The door suddenly opened, but Angel's attention was not distracted, she kept her eyes fixed on the window with her white blinds fluttering in the wind.“Angel, have lunch.”It was Dave's voice. The man was standing behind the door he had just closed, staring at Angel's back with a co

Angel realized that something had changed from Dave's attitude towards her. The man seemed to return to his former self, when he pretended to love Angel, before Angel realized that it was all just a play.Is it the same now? Angel was too scared to trust Dave completely. He was afraid that what he felt was another form of game that Dave was about to play with her.Hence it made it difficult for Angel to trust Dave again; she always wondered every time Dave came to her room and showed his concern. Angel would stare at Dave, watch the look on the man's face, see if there was a lie—even a little—that had escaped her sight.This morning, unlike usual, Angel got up early and got ready to go down for breakfast. She had already decided that it was time for her to get out and live her day. The flower shop that she had left lying dormant was still her responsibility which she couldn't just leave.Angel came down to the dining room. The maid who s

The cold dew from the waves hitting the sand hard hit Angel's face. She smiled very broadly, letting the sea breeze hit her face. Even though it was cold, Angel didn't protest. The sky was dark, the sun was hiding behind thick clouds.From behind, Dave approached Angel and draped his jacket over the woman's body.“Even though the weather was quite sunny earlier, but when we got here it suddenly became cloudy. Aren't you cold?”Angel shook her head, then raised her gaze to the sky, confirming Dave's words.“Ten minutes. After that, we go,” Dave said with gentle firmness.“Hm,” said Angel. Although she wanted to stay longer, she complied when Dave finally pulled her hand away from the shore to their car, the ten minutes the man had given her passed. Right after that, raindrops started to fall.“Good thing we're already inside,” said Angel as she peeked through the window into the darkening sky.
