Jason was anxious because he had done something wrong to Emily. He didn't mean to hurt Emily's feelings by making unwarranted accusations. However, who wouldn't be suspicious if they were Jason?He realizes that he has made a mistake by prioritizing Tamara over Emily. It's the same as if he had betrayed his wife. However, when he finds out that Emily also has someone who loves her, Jason feels upset and angry.Previously Jared, now another man named Alex.Jason was now walking back and forth, agitated that Emily hadn't answered his calls since earlier after she disconnected the phone.What did Emily mean by her being in danger? Was that man named Alex so scary and had done something bad to Emily? And ... why did the news of Emily's pregnancy make Jason's chest feel like it was shaking like crazy? There was a strange feeling that he couldn't describe right now, like an indescribable euphoria that he couldn't explain properly.Was he happy to hear that he would have a baby from Emily? T
Emily still couldn't understand what Alex was doing. He eventually decided on his own to take Emily back to Jason. Emily doesn't even ask for it anymore.She has resigned and has no desire to return, especially after Alex shows a photo where Jason is so happy with Tamara.Emily's chest was so tight, imagining what would happen to her after returning to Jason. However, this is the right choice so that she can see with her own eyes whether Jason is still with Tamara or not.If it turns out to be accurate, then what? Will Emily be able to choose to return to Alex if it turns out that Jason did that to her—as Alex said?Emily did not answer Alex's words. She finished her food, then waited until Alex was ready to take her back to the man who would soon become the father of the baby she was carrying.The man who had become her husband had promised many beautiful things long ago. She should be happy, but that's not how she feels now. She feels empty as if her soul is drifting somewhere.Alex
"Are you out of your mind?! You're supposed to be in charge, and now you're asking me to put on a show like this; what do you want?!" a woman exclaimed over the phone.Her face was tight. She banged on the table beside her several times.She was furious at what had happened to her. She certainly knew who the father of her unborn child was. Although she hoped the baby was Jason's, that was not the case."I'm a model, and getting pregnant is risky for my career, you know that, you bastard!?"The man on the other side was heard chuckling. He certainly didn't want to be blamed for the outcome of what the two of them had done. Didn't they do it out of love?"That's your business, not mine. You couldn't contain your desires, and I only gave what you asked for, Tamara. Was I wrong?" Tamara clenched her fists, unable to reply to the man's every word. However, it was clear that her anger was at an all-time high. Her jaw seemed to tighten, holding back the swearing she should have let out earl
All eyes were on Jason, who had just stepped into the room after rudely opening the door, hoping to catch Emily, who was probably making love to whoever and could ruin the woman's reputation.Jason was sick of him always being the antagonist in their strange romance. Even back then, since they were teenagers.And now, he didn't know what to make of the questions implied in the gazes of each one. Charles, Emma, and Emily were now in the room.What were they talking about?"Mom, Dad? What are you guys doing here?"The three did not respond to Jason's question but looked away and resumed their conversation as if they had never seen Jason. That, of course, left Jason confused.What exactly was going on? Why did they seem indifferent when Jason entered and only cast strange looks in his direction?Even his father, who usually nagged and yelled at him if something happened, didn't say a word. Not even to greet him."What's wrong with you guys? Why are you just silent and ignoring me?" Jason
Emily looked giddy, staring at the writing on the sheet in her hand.Charles, who had initially set Emily up with Jason, now gave her the option to separate from his son. Emily didn't know whether she should be happy and grateful to the middle-aged man or the opposite—cursing and swearing at him for interfering too much in Emily's life so far.None of this was free. Charles gave her a last name, a house she now lived in, and a few percent of the shares in the Kennel'z Industry company for her to own. Her life is assured, but she is at risk of losing the man she has loved all these years.There were also many things that Emily had to consider.Charles does not insist if she and Jason decide to stay together; he only asks that Jason pay more attention to Emily and nurture their love. However, it seems that it will be impossible for Jason.Jason will repeat the same mistake—returning to Tamara after making promises and catapulting Emily sky-high. So to continue the marriage would not be
Emily still couldn't believe what she had received today. There are so many good things, and she doesn't know if she can carry them all. Because for her, what the McKennel family has entrusted to her is a burden of responsibility and a debt of gratitude that she will never be able to repay. "You don't have to consider this a debt of gratitude, Emily; we're your parents. What you receive is right, and we're happy to do it. We've made other arrangements for Jason and Jared; you needn't worry about that. Oh, and also for my future grandchildren." That's what Charles said a few hours ago. And after that, Emily was such a trending topic in their office that even the whole of Eastonville understood her life story. 'A different version of Cinderella story', as they say. And as Emily had expected, some employees did make her the subject of conversation. For better and for worse. She had experienced it all in one day. Now, she felt like she was being tossed around in the ocean. She felt he
Emily sat alone at L'Restaurante, waiting for Alex to arrive as promised. Unfortunately, Shila couldn't join Emily because she had something urgent to do. Moreover, Shila thought Emily would need time to talk more with Alex alone.Emily had told Shila a little about Alex, and her best friend even encouraged Emily to open her heart again to any man who loves her and can give her happiness.Of course, Emily had the same thought, but not so fast.Her and Alex's relationship had been established for a long time, just as two people who were friends. However, it may turn into a couple or even more than that, but imagining it the day after the divorce feels a bit inappropriate."Have you been waiting long?" asked Alex, who immediately sat down and noticed Emily's frowning face. He felt guilty for coming late. However, he had his reasons.Alex then took something out of his coat pocket and handed it to Emily, who was wide-eyed as she watched what the man in front of her was doing."What is th
Emily began to enjoy her days with her new status in romance. Let's say she was unlucky in this regard, but at least not with her career fortunes. She is fortunate.She was now the owner of a design and construction company, in line with her interest in design and art, although she had studied business and marketing at the time. But that didn't stop her from being passionate about what she loves.Now Emily is sitting in her room with several sheets of designs on the table right in front of her. She observes which of the pictures is the most interesting."You're still working; while you called me this morning and complained that you weren't feeling well?" Shila grumbled while preparing warm milk for Emily.Emily didn't immediately answer her best friend's nagging but stayed focused on the work in front of her. She was in good spirits, so she didn't want to dwell on complaints related to her pregnancy condition. She could not let herself become lazy just because of the erratic pregnancy
