Max repeatedly inhaled and then exhaled steadily. He hoped his wife could follow him. However, the pale-faced woman could no longer control her lungs. Pain had wrapped around her stomach.
"It hurts, Max," Gabriella moaned as she gripped her husband's hand tighter.
"Patience, Gaby. You can't push yet. Wait for a signal from the doctor. Understand?" the man replied while wiping the sweat that flooded his wife's face. "Now catch your breath with me."
With tears in her eyes, the woman continued to stare at her husband.
“Inhale, exhale… inhale, exhale.”
Gabriella tried to obey. However, five seconds later, she shook her head, declaring herself on the verge of patience.
"I can't hold it anymore, Max. I can't," the woman sighed, grimacing.
Feeling unbearable, the man kissed his wife's forehead. "Hold on, Gaby. For the sake of our Little Prince," he whispered.
Closing her eyes, Gabriella braced herself. She never exp

"Yeay! Today, Little Prince is taking a walk to the park," Gabriella exclaimed as she put a panda jumpsuit on her son's head.As if he understood what his mother said, the baby smiled while putting his hands together. His round eyes were sparkling.Witnessing such a response, the father who had been watching his son all that time, laughed. "He looks really happy," Max said, letting Cayden hold his forefinger."Of course. This is his first trip,” Gabriella said as she checked the equipment on the side of the bed. After a while, the woman closed the bag and carried it. "Everything is ready. Let's go.""Is Auntie coming along?" Max asked, lifting Cayden in his arms."No. She complained that her knees hurt. So, Lena is accompanying us,” Gabriella replied as she opened the bedroom door and closed it when her husband had passed.After nodding, Max walked side by side with his wife. When they turned towards the stairs, a servant was rea
"What flavor would Cayden like? Vanilla or green tea? Or maybe, he has different taste from his parents,” Gabriella muttered as she looked at the colorful box of ice cream."Ah, I hope his stomach is okay. He can only taste the tip of a spoon if the choice is this much,” the woman thought before quickening her pace. She couldn't wait to see the Little Prince's happy face.However, when her gaze fell on the bench, the curve of Gabriella's lips suddenly disappeared. She only saw a servant sitting there. With a pounding heart, the woman ran over while checking the surroundings."Lena, where's Cayden?" she sighed with ragged breaths.Without any burden, the servant lowered the phone from her face. "Here."In just an instant, the young girl's eyes opened wide. "Oh my gosh! Where is Young Master? A minute ago, the stroller was still here, Madam,” Lena exclaimed as she stood up.Clutching her head, Gabriella forced the brain to st
As soon as he entered the room, Max went straight to his wife who was lying with Cayden. The woman still furrowed her brows even though her eyes were closed. The hand that embraced the baby warmly, seemed so alert."Thank goodness," Max sighed as he stroked the Little Prince's head.In just an instant, Gabriella gasped and hugged her son tighter."Calm down, Gaby. It's me," Max whispered, afraid to wake the baby up."Are you home yet?" the woman sighed as she was still in shock."Yes. I booked the earliest ticket as soon as I got the news,” the man explained with stiff lips.After a moment of silence, the trembling eyeballs began to show compassion. "I'm sorry, Max. I have neglected to take care of our son.”Seeing his wife crying, the man's heart suddenly sliced. After stroking the little-messy hair, he gave her a soothing kiss on the forehead."Cayden is safe, so there's nothing to worry, Gaby," Max said as he rub
"Cayden!" Max exclaimed as he opened the bedroom door. The baby who was almost asleep, suddenly gasped and turned to his father. "Why did you shout like that?" Gabriella asked while exhaling. “I almost managed to put him to sleep.” Feeling guilty, the man smiled a little. "Sorry. I can't wait to show him this. Tada!” As soon as he saw a box of ice cream in his father's hands, Little Prince immediately struggled, trying to get up from his mother's arms. “Look! Now, he won't sleep. Why don't you do it later, Max? After all, this isn't the time for Cayden to enjoy ice cream." "It's okay, Gaby. He has just experienced a terrifying incident. There's nothing wrong with pampering Cayden today," Max said as he sat on the edge of the bed. Without waiting for orders, the baby crawled onto his father's lap. When Max pressed the Little Prince's hand to the lid of the box, a burst of cheerful laughter rang out. Cayden looked enthusiastic wi
Mia and Julian were confused seeing the panicked faces of all the servants. The women were busy searching and searching."What happened?" Mia asked after intercepting one of the women in uniform.“Young Master is missing again, Miss.”In an instant, Julian and Mia were wide-eyed."Missing again? Isn't he at home?" the man inquired with his eyebrows still arched high."Yes, Sir. Young Master was in his room. Then all of a sudden, he disappeared.”Hearing an explanation that seemed impossible, Julian looked at his secretary. Finding the same suspicion, he turned back to the servant. "Where are Max and Gabriella now?"The woman's index finger suddenly pointed. "Upstairs, Sir.""Okay, thank you."Wasting no time, Julian and Mia made their way to the stairs."Isn't it weird?" the man asked to the secretary."Yes. There's no way Cayden would just disappear. His parents must be too panicked, so t
“Mia, may I ask you something?” Julian's question successfully made the secretary stop walking. Two seconds later, the girl who was initially going towards the door, turned to face him."What is it, Sir?"With hands in the pockets, the CEO circled the desk and stopped right in front of his secretary.“Max, you, and I grew up together since childhood. In other words, you must already know us very well,” he said with an expression that was difficult to predict. That was the first time Mia had seen such an expression. "What kind of person do you think my brother is?"Getting a ridiculous question, the secretary almost furrowed her brows. However, out of respect for the boss, she was forced to maintain an even face.“Mr. Max is a smart and caring person. Even though he is assertive and ambitious, he still put family as his priority. The type of man that many women dream of, "Mia answered honestly."Is that so? Then,
When Julian left the room, his eyes automatically opened wide. For the first time, he did not find the secretary at the front desk. “Is Mia home yet? Why didn't she wait for me?” the man muttered as he checked under the table. As expected, not a single bag was hanging there. “Mia really left me.” After a brief contemplation, Julian gasped. Something had crossed his mind. Wasting no time, he walked briskly, trying to find the secretary. “Mia is used to dealing with my emotional outbursts. There's no way she'd be mad," the man muttered, denying his own thoughts. He couldn't imagine if the girl's patience would not last. How to win Mia's heart if the girl no longer listened to his words? Just as Julian turned a corner, his eyes caught the secretary's shadow. The girl had just entered the elevator. "Mia!" the CEO called without paying attention to the volume of his voice. A second later, he ran over to the girl. "Mia!" Unfortunately, when
"Have you ever loved me?" Julian asked in a low, emphatic tone.While clenching her fists, Mia forced her stiff head to move. "I never loved you, Sir.""Nonsense!" The man's rebuke succeeded in making the girl hold her breath. “You obviously have the same feelings as me, Mia. Several times, I saw it in your eyes. But, why do you always deny?”"It's just your imagination, Sir. I never had that kind of feeling. Our relationship is only limited to subordinate and superior.""Lie!"A second later, Julian clutched his head and grimaced. "If you never love me, then why are you always faithful to be by my side?"“Because I owe to the Evans family. It is my duty to help you in any trouble."Hearing such an excuse, the man shook his head and sighed. "Impossible. You even cried when I almost died. Your kindness and concern are not only because of obedience, Mia, but because of love,” he said in a pitiful tone. The
