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
After returning from the hospital, Darwin and Veronica didn't go straight home. Instead, they directed the car to attend a dinner event held at the main residence of the Walters family. Today, they were celebrating Grandpa Anthonie's birthday privately, attended by the entire extended family from both Indonesia and Singapore.Upon arriving and offering their congratulations to Grandpa, Darwin decided to explore the area. Veronica, on the other hand, was taken by Luna and Celina to chat in one of the rooms.Darwin chose to seek out Kennedy and Randy and then joined his cousin."Why the puzzled look?" Darwin asked as he approached Randy, who was sitting not far from the swimming pool.Getting no immediate response, Darwin turned to Kennedy, signaling as if asking what was really going on with their cousin."Randy is feeling down because he's being arranged for marriage," Kennedy replied, and Dar
"Sweetheart, today I'm going with you to Papa's office. I don't know why, but I really miss Papa."This morning, as soon as she woke up, Veronica still appeared affectionate, persuading Darwin to take her with him to the Vortex Group building. Last night, the man had indeed told Veronica that he would visit and represent the Vortex Group for a meeting and evaluation with the Leighton team.Two days ago, right after returning from Hong Kong, Damian had personally stopped by first because he missed his daughter. And now, it seems like Veronica is experiencing the same feelings as her father did before."Are you sure you want to come along? Papa and I have a meeting with Leighton from nine to eleven or twelve noon. Are you okay waiting that long? Won't you get bored?"Darwin knew that during pregnancy, Veronica often felt restless and easily bored. Her mood often fluctuated and changed drastically. He w
"Honey, why aren't you getting ready yet? We'll be late," Darwin complained as he entered the bedroom to find Veronica still relaxing on the bed.In just an hour, they were supposed to arrive on time for an engagement ceremony. According to the schedule, tonight, Randy would propose to the girl he had been matched with."Are we seriously not going to his event? I've already dressed up nicely and put on makeup, and now you want to engage in some making love like the other day."Darwin laughed. It seemed like his wife still remembered their last encounter vividly. What could he do? At that time, he had been truly tempted by Veronica's stunning appearance, and it had been a while since he had touched her. It was difficult to resist the urge to be intimate with her."No, honey. This time we have to go. It's Randy's event after all. It would be unfair to him if we don't attend his important event tonight."
