POV JEANNE…For a moment I was stunned when my gaze met Noah's pair of yellow-brown eyes. But a second later, I smiled clumsily and said, "Thanks, but can you put me down?" "Huh?" On the other hand, Noah seemed to be a little surprised. However, not long after, a man's loud voice could be heard from behind Noah's body. "Hey, what are you doing?!" A middle-aged man's voice sounded from behind Noah. Suddenly, Noah's face changed to surprise and suddenly realized."Ugh, I'm sorry," Noah said, "I've been impudent in holding you in a public place."He then immediately helped me to stand up while continuing to say a thousand apologies. I smiled in response and said, "That's okay, I should thank you for helping me not to fall down."A moment after saying that, a slightly casually dressed middle-aged man with long black hair tied back and a thick beard was already standing in front of me, some of the hair on his face and head looking white which seemed to show his age indirectly. His t
POV JEANNE … "You must have pretended to be Noah's relative to stalk him, right?!" said Renata, "Wait and I'll report you to the police!" Renata was then seen picking up the bag beside her and started rummaging through the contents. She then took out her phone and I knew she was about to call 911. This matter will get more complicated if she calls the police. I'm afraid it would embarrass her — I thought. I sighed and said, "Miss Mayer, I did meet Noah recently..." "...that's because I just married the second son of the Morgan family," I continued. For a moment, I saw Renata appear speechless and then turn to me with a suspicious squint. "Really? What's the proof?" she asked. Hearing Renata's question, I paused for a moment and tried to think of what evidence to show her. "Ah! Wait a minute!" Before long, I remembered my wedding photo with Leo. I searched for it in my gallery and while I was trying, I just remembered that all the memories on my phone were er
POV JEANNE … "What are you doing to my wife?" Leo's voice rang out and I felt the grip on my arms loosen, but not completely — at least they had stopped dragging me. "Get your hands off my wife," Leo said again. A moment later I felt my body being pulled into Leo's arms and that was enough to calm me down a little. ""You're okay, right?" he said again as he loosened his embrace from me. I gave a small nod and said, "It's okay, dear. I'm fine." Leo smiled as he gently stroked my hair. Just as the atmosphere calmed down, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind me. "Tsk! Isn't this drama too much?" said Aryana, "Hey, bitch! Are you that obsess to get close to —" "S-So, Miss Jeanne is really your wife, L-Leo?" Noah interrupted. Noah's words instantly startled Aryana and Renata. "Wh-What? Leo? So he is ..." Aryana did not continue her sentence. Her pupils seemed to be trembling looking at Leo. Meanwhile Renata, she was stunned at my husband. Instead of
POV JEANNE…SLAM!"You really made me almost lose my soul, Jeanne," said Leo who looked very worried, "Why did you leave from there? Didn't I tell you to wait for me there, hm?"We had just gotten into the car and Leo immediately started nagging, making me instantly look down in guilt. "I'm sorry," I said softly, "I was bored so I decided to take a walk while shopping for maternity dress.""..." "I also never expected to meet Noah and get into trouble with some people there," I said again.I secretly glanced at Leo who seemed to be leaning his back on the back of the steering bench. He seemed to be closing his eyes as he massaged his temples. The expression on his face looked tired and it made me feel even more guilty. "I'm so sorry," I said again, "I've made you worry so much." Not long after, Leo looked at me with his shady eyes. He then let out a long sigh. "Please, don't do it again," Leo said, "You don't know how frantic when I read your message that you wanted to go walk a
POV NOAH … "Noah..." "..." "...Noah Morgan!" GSAP! I was shocked when I heard my dad's voice calling my name in a yelling tone. "Huh? S-Sorry ...?" I said in surprise, "W-What did you say to me, dad?" Then I looked up at my father which was sitting in front of me. He looked in flat and cold expression, but I could feel that he was angry with my attitude earlier. I felt a little guilty because I didn't focus when he talk to me. "I asked, how's your work? Is everything going well?" he asked in a cold tone, but his face looked a little annoyed. "Ah, that's ... everything's fine," I replied, trying to smile to convince him. On the other hand, I saw that my father still looked cold-faced and seemed hold his teacup. "It's good to hear that from your mouth, even though everything doesn't look like well enough," he said and then sipped the contents of his teacup. My father's words made me instantly become silent and clamp my lips tightly. It was true that I
POV JEANNE "Mrs ..." "..." "Mrs. Morgan?" I gasped when I suddenly felt someone tap my shoulder. Instantly my gaze fell on the woman standing in front of me. She was my new personal secretary, Daisy Burton. The young woman of mixed American and Middle Eastern descent who had been working for my company for the past week, as my old personal secretary, had resigned. From what I heard, it was because he decided to return to his hometown in Greenland. "Ah, I'm sorry," I said as I smiled at her, "I was a little unfocused earlier." I was lost in thought for a moment. My memory drifted back to the events of a week ago, to my conversation with my husband. When I asked him about his real goal before he will quit the mafia, he didn't answer me and instead changed the topic. Seems like he didn't believe me — I thought. I thought I knew a lot about my husband, but apparently not — I said to myself with a bitter smile. "Are you okay, Mrs?" Daisy's voice came back and mad
POV JEANNE…"I'm sorry, but I don't think I can go out today," I declined Samuel's offer. It wasn't like I was avoiding him because Leo told me to, but I didn't want to get him into trouble because of me. Moreover, Leo had sent Jonah and his five other subordinates to look after me. If Leo finds out that I'm still in contact with Samuel, it will get worse."I'm sure they'll report everything I do to my husband," I muttered without consciously expressing my thoughts."[Huh? Did you say something earlier?]" "Huh? A-Ah, n-no, no... I mean — it's a shame that I have a lot of work today," I said with a slight stutter, but I quickly changed the topic."[Oh? Okay ... Then let me order lunch for you. By the way, what do you want to eat for lunch?]" Samuel said back over our phone call. Hearing Samuel's offer, I immediately rejected it, "N-No, no... I'll order for myself after this." "[Come on Jeanne, at least let me celebrate your first pregnancy. After all I already consider you like my
POV LEO…"Wh-What?! Jeanne fainted and is now in hospital?!" I was shocked when I heard the news from Jonah. "What's her condition now?" I asked frantically.I was currently at one of JR's mafia bases in Canada, in an old warehouse on the outskirts of Toronto. I was tracking the trail of the man behind my mother's death and the disappearance of my wife's brother - William Hart. Since I arrived in Canada, I turned off the special cell phone that I used to only contact Jeanne because I didn't want to involve her in this dangerous matter. "[T-The doctor is still checking her condition inside. But when we took ma'am to the hospital, blood was flowing down in her leg.]" Jonah said, "[I-I'm sorry, Master.]" WHACK!I punched the stone wall beside me in frustration. Jonah's words made me even more worried about the condition of Jeanne and my future children.I even told Jonah not to contact me unless it was urgent so as not to drag Jeanne into the danger I was in, but why did it turn ou
