A few hours earlier.
After a small argument with Darwin, Veronica finally let her husband go this morning. Peeking from behind the bedroom window, she could see her husband down there, loading golf equipment into the car. It can be guessed that Darwin probably wanted to go play golf with his cousin or business associates.
Feeling lazy and not wanting to bother about what her husband had said or done earlier, Veronica decided to crawl back into bed. For some reason, over the past few days, she had been feeling very lazy and unmotivated to do anything. That's why, instead of taking a shower or leaving the room, Veronica chose to get back under the covers and soon fell asleep again.
As far as Veronica could remember, she only woke up around one in the afternoon. That was because Renata accidentally woke her up to remind her to have lunch.
"Mrs. Veronica didn't have breakfast this morning. If you don't h
"Congratulations, Mr. Darwin. Mrs. Veronica is indeed pregnant."Currently, Darwin is once again visiting the hospital. After taking three days off to rest at home and ensuring his wife's well-being, Darwin has brought Veronica for further examination to determine what steps should be taken next.As previously mentioned by the emergency room doctor, his wife's pregnancy is not experiencing any problems. And today, Darwin has prepared many questions to ask the chosen specialist obstetrician."From the ultrasound machine, we can already see the fetal sac, and we can even hear the baby's heartbeat," the doctor explained while pointing at the plasma screen of the ultrasound machine during the examination of Veronica's pregnancy.Darwin, who had been listening attentively all this time, smiled with emotion. He never expected to be blessed by God with the gift and blessing of having a child with the woman
Actually, after finding out that Veronica is pregnant, Darwin wants his wife to take complete rest at home. If possible, she doesn't need to work anymore and should focus on activities at home. He wants to be the one to earn money and provide for the entire family.However, since last night until this morning's breakfast, they have been discussing this matter seriously. Veronica doesn't seem entirely agreeable. She asks Darwin for permission to continue working. Darwin finally makes a decision that Veronica must follow."Okay, you can still work. However, during this pregnancy, I ask you to rest at home."At that moment, Veronica looked up, trying to negotiate what her husband had already decided."But, Win, after giving birth, can I go back to work as usual?"Darwin appears to weigh the decision carefully, thinking about whether or not his wife should return to work in the futur
Veronica appeared to be fully focused on completing her work deadlines one by one. She was so absorbed that she didn't even notice when Sean came and knocked on her door, then entered her office.For a moment, Sean stood still, continuing to watch how Veronica worked. Whatever was on his mind, he seemed to intentionally savor Veronica's presence, which he might not have the opportunity to enjoy again in the coming days. After all, next week, Sean had to leave for China. Even when his work was finished, he would go straight to Nevada to lead the company there. There would be no more time to meet or even chat with his former girlfriend."Sean," Veronica greeted when she realized Sean was standing right in front of her desk.Sean, who had been lost in thought, snapped out of it. He smiled and then took a step forward, handing Veronica a box of red velvet cake to enjoy. For some reason, Sean was always pleased to bring Veron
The plane that Vivian was on finally landed smoothly at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. After spending some time in Singapore accompanying her aunt for medical treatment, today Vivian was returning to Indonesia. There was one important thing that she felt she needed to take care of immediately.As she exited the airport, Vivian first glanced at the watch on her wrist. Currently, in Jakarta, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.Not wanting to get stuck in rush hour traffic, Vivian hurriedly looked for a taxi. As soon as she found a vehicle to ride in, she immediately asked the driver to take her to a place that she needed to visit right away.Luckily, the streets were still very empty. It took about forty minutes for the taxi she was in to enter a high-end residential complex in South Jakarta and stop at one of the houses she was heading to."Excuse me, is Mr. Darwin or Mrs. Veronica here?" Vivian as
"Darling, wake up. Aren't you going to work?"Even though the clock in the morning already showed seven, Darwin seemed unusually lazy and comfortable under the blanket while holding Veronica tightly. Darwin had a feeling that he just wanted to spend the day at home being pampered with his wife. However, Veronica felt differently. She had been restless and trying to wake Darwin up, reminding him to get up and get ready for work."I still want to hug you, Ve. I'd love to spend the whole day in bed with you. Plus, the weather is perfect for it; it's raining," he honestly expressed. Pausing for a moment, he looked deeply into her eyes, then gently kissed Veronica's cheek while teasingly whispering, "How about I don't go to work today? So we can have all the time in the world together."Instead of agreeing, Veronica sighed and playfully pinched Darwin's stomach, causing him to wince in pain."You're so ca
"Do I really have to go with you to the dinner event?" Veronica asked, sounding a bit reluctant. Just as she had returned from work, her husband had invited her to accompany him to a dinner event with one of his business associates.Veronica was not particularly thrilled about it, but being the wife of a company leader came with certain obligations, and she reluctantly complied with her husband's request."Well, I can't go alone, sweetheart. I'll definitely be asked about it. Besides, I can't go with another woman, right?"Veronica gave him a stern look. She couldn't believe her husband would even consider attending an event with another woman."Be careful if you dare!""Well, I wouldn't dare, my love. So, get ready quickly. I'll be waiting for you outside."As Darwin left the room, Veronica hurriedly searched and chose from her vast collection of evening gow
So far, during her pregnancy, Darwin has every reason to be thankful because Veronica has never complained about anything strange or irrational. Even in her second-trimester pregnancy, Veronica appears to behave calmly and peacefully.During this time, Darwin has never heard any unusual complaints or requests from Veronica. So, the weird experiences that Kennedy often shares or Luna's cravings and strange requests have never happened to her at all."We've arrived," Darwin said when the car he was driving had stopped and was neatly parked in the VIP area of one of the renowned hospitals. This afternoon was indeed their routine schedule to accompany Veronica for her prenatal checkup.Darwin was full of enthusiasm as he opened the car door and led Veronica to enter the hospital. They patiently waited in the OB-GYN clinic's patient queue. After a short while, Veronica's name was called, and they were both escorted by a nur
Kennedy could see how Randy, who had just entered the restaurant, looked really upset. Next to him was Darwin, whose condition seemed to be the complete opposite of Randy's.Upon closer inspection, Darwin seemed unwell. His face was pale, and he walked with a limp. However, Randy, who was sitting beside him, seemed unsympathetic. In fact, he appeared indifferent and eager to quickly take the seat Kennedy had reserved.Earlier, Randy, representing Kennedy, had gone with Darwin to meet a client involved in a partnership with The Palace and the Infinix Group. Whatever had happened, upon their return, their behavior seemed strange, just as it did now."What's wrong with you?" Kennedy wondered when Randy had already taken a seat in front of her. Shortly after, Darwin joined them and sat beside Randy."I'm really annoyed," Randy complained, his facial expression still sour."Why are yo
