"How's it going, Ghe? Feeling better now?" Joshua asked as he had just finished the task assigned by Mrs. Sonia. Meanwhile, Ghea, busy creating a diagram on her personal computer, just nodded briefly. After a few minutes, she finally responded to Joshua's question. "Don't worry. I'm feeling better now. Yesterday, I took my medicine as soon as I got home, and the stomach pain quickly subsided." Joshua nodded, then quickly resumed his lecture. As a friend who knew Ghea's personality and habits very well, he understood why the girl next to him complained of feeling sick yesterday afternoon. "That's why, knowing you have gastric problems, don't make a habit of skipping meals, Ghe. It's still manageable. If it gets severe? You'll be the one in trouble." Ghea smiled sheepishly. It was quite common for Joshua to scold her like this. "Yeah, sorry. Besides, I was late for lunch yesterday because I had to wait for Randy. I thought he would remember our lunch date and show up on time. Turns
"Seriously, do I have to come too?" Ghea pursed her lips. It was Sunday, and she should be enjoying her day off by relaxing or lounging on the bed. However, Ghea's joy was disrupted when Randy suddenly notified her to attend an office event scheduled for tonight. Why did there have to be a party? Ghea was not fond of attending crowded events like that. "Well, you must come, my love," Randy replied gently. Approaching his wife lying on the bed, he came closer. Then, he reached for Ghea's body, pulling her into his embrace. "You're the boss's wife. It wouldn't look good if I come alone." "You can go with your assistant, Alvin, Uncle," Ghea tried to persuade. Swearing for any reason, she had already prepared tonight to relax while watching a Korean drama. "Alvin is definitely coming. But, it's boring if we always go together. Now that I have a wife, she should be empowered. Or do you want me to go with another woman?" Ghea immediately glared. At that moment, she pushed Randy's body
Randy affectionately led Ghea into the convention hall where tonight's party was held. Just a few steps in, Darwin, Kennedy, along with their respective wives, came to welcome them. "Welcome, the not-so-new newlyweds. You're really late," Darwin greeted, and Randy immediately retorted with a scoff. "Sorry, are you new residents in Indonesia, especially Jakarta? Don't you know that Jakarta is often congested? Besides, it's Sunday, Win. Everyone comes out to enjoy the weekend." Darwin looked dismissive. Whatever Randy said or defended, he had to be able to refute it. He was tired of always losing arguments with his cousin. "Traffic jam? Oh, come on. Evidence shows that Kennedy and I could come on time. Your excuse is just that—an excuse," he said with a wide smile. Randy just smiled. So casual in responding to Darwin's remarks, which were intentionally attacking. "Please understand, bestie. I live in an elite housing complex, so the route is always crowded and busy. It's very diff
Ghea looked quiet while chewing the food in her mouth. Meanwhile, her thoughts wandered, reflecting on Luna and Veronica's words last night when she met them at the party. "Are you sure you don't want to hurry up and have a child with Randy?" Luna asked at that time, immediately diverting Ghea's attention. "I'm still in college, Uncle. Besides, I'm still very young. Just 23 turning 24. Isn't it too rushed?" Luna smiled. The woman spoke again. "Do you realize who you're married to?" Ghea nodded. Inwardly, she knew who her current husband was. "I'm aware, Uncle. Randy Walters. The only child of Adrian and Verona Walters. Heir and leader of the Akasia Group, right?" "Yes. And I'm sure you know that many are eyeing your husband out there, right? Some are even willing to happily offer themselves as mistresses or provide comfort for free." Ghea nodded again. "Recently, even an ex of Uncle Randy's suddenly showed up. And she's asking to get back together." Luna immediately snapped h
Since they had a comprehensive health examination yesterday, today Randy specifically accompanied Ghea to the hospital to check and hear the results directly from the doctor. In his heart, Randy was determined that regardless of the results, whether good or bad, he would still accept Ghea for whatever reason. His two cousins also gave such advice. "Don't let your marriage fall apart just because of the child issue, Ran. I know you're a wise person. I hope the doctor's verdict, whatever it may be, doesn't change your attitude towards Ghea." Kennedy said this very seriously, trying to provide enlightenment so that Randy wouldn't make the wrong decisions. "Don't worry, Ken. I'm not a shallow guy who values marriage only for offspring. I've promised to God to take care of Ghea for the rest of my life, in joy and sorrow. So, I'll keep that promise." Randy was not playing around with his words. He had ingrained in himself that whatever happened in the future, he would continue to suppor
"It seems like I should just give up. Since ancient times, from the primordial era, Randy is not the type of guy easily tempted. Especially now that he's married. It's pointless to seduce him no matter how hard I try. It won't work." Agista wore a frustrated expression while talking to someone in a coffee shop. She even looked disappointed because her efforts had not yielded any results. "Oh my God, Agista, it's only been a few attempts, and you're already giving up. You claim to love Randy. Can't you give it a little more effort?" Agista looked up. She, who had previously lowered her face in sorrow, now stared straight at her interlocutor. A sharp gaze, seemingly annoyed by the provocation she had just received. "Giselle Donovan, since you believe you're pretty, why don't you try seducing Randy yourself? Go ahead. Prove that you can do it." Giselle, the person who had been talking to Agista, was visibly annoyed. Why should she be the one to try? Just so you know, she invited Agi
Randy couldn't stop kissing and tightly hugging Ghea as if he didn't want to be separated from her. In the days ahead, he had to reluctantly go on a business trip to Singapore for three days alone because Ghea couldn't accompany him. Randy really wanted to take his wife on the business trip and also explore the city. However, Ghea was already scheduled to attend the internship closing ceremony on campus and the distribution of the final project schedule, so she couldn't join him. This made Randy a bit melancholic. That's why, not wanting to miss the chance to be together and wanting to fully enjoy their time, Randy deliberately came home early today. He even took Ghea out for dinner and a stroll beforehand. When they were satisfied, he decided to head home. And now, before going to sleep, Randy took advantage of the time available to pamper his wife. "I'm definitely going to miss you so much," Randy whispered in Ghea's ear. He then repeatedly kissed Ghea's hair and back. Inhaling de
"I'm leaving now. Be careful at home. If you need anything or if something happens, please notify me immediately."Randy was standing at the doorstep of his house. According to the schedule, he had to leave for the airport this morning to fly to Singapore for three days.Randy was not alone, of course. This time, Alvin accompanied him on the business trip. His assistant was deliberately brought along to help Randy handle all the work and meetings during their time in Singapore."Yes, my dear husband. Don't worry, I'll be fine here. Also, pray for a high score for my internship and for a good thesis advisor afterward.""But, I'll be sad after this," Randy said later. The man's face, which was cheerful before, now looked a bit gloomy.Ghea, who felt and noticed the change in Randy's expression, immediately frowned in confusion. What else could make her husband suddenly feel sad when she only asked for prayers?"Why are you sad again?" Ghea inquired.Randy took both of her hands. Gently
