"Honey, don't frown like that. I'm afraid to see you keep quiet. It's better to just nag, instead of being silent like this," Noah persuaded Grace, who had been silent since being escorted to the police station.Yes, the end of the Morning Kiss of the newly married couple led to the sanctioning of the two. Grace and Noah inevitably had to go to the nearest police station, precisely the Sector 9 area. But the momentum to this point had also been calculated by Noah at Jack's suggestion.The phone call Noah made earlier was with Jack. The two of them had planned something big behind Grace's back without her knowing. And so they ended up going to the police station with a little drama by Noah that upset Grace.Previously, when Noah had just gotten out of the car and approached the officer who was interrogating Grace, Noah deliberately made trouble by starting an argument with the officer. With the cold arrogant style of Vice President Sagala, Noah seemed not to want to be blamed by the of
"Marry me."Noah's words instantly petrified Grace. Grace's tears welled up. She didn't expect Noah to ask something that an engaged man shouldn't ask.Grace's mother was very sick at the moment, so Grace needed a lot of money for her mother's surgery, and Noah was her last option. However, Noah's condition was not to be ignored.What is this? How could an engaged man ask her to marry him when Noah knew very well that it was forbidden to have a relationship between them? Not forbidden because of religion, but forbidden because of threats and curses from their parents, who forbade them from having a romantic relationship."Noah, my mom is very sick. How can you ask me to marry you?" asked Grace with tears in her eyes.Noah laughed and got up from his chair. He approached Grace and put part of his buttocks on the corner of the table."That's your business, Grace. I'm only giving you two options. First, you marry me and get the money. Second, you refuse my request and watch your mother d
On the way, it was quiet in the car. Noah occasionally switched his gaze between the road and Grace beside him."What are you thinking about?" Noah asked softly."Everything," she replied briefly and then turned to Noah. "You have no intention of canceling this wedding and lending me money unconditionally like this, Noah?"Grace was still considering her decision, even though she had answered Noah.Noah didn't budge, but he pulled the car over to the left side of the road slowly."It's not too late to change your mind. But just so you know, Grace If you stick to your decision, I'll stick to mine too," Noah said seriously, and Grace looked at him while searching for a speck of doubt. But unfortunately, Noah still seemed to be firm in his words.'If I cancel our wedding, what about Mom? I don't know where else to go to earn money for my mom,' the memory of her mother came back.'No! I can't cancel this wedding. I shouldn't be hesitating like this.'My mom has to get well. I have to sacr
"Hmm, alright. I'm going back to the hospital. Thank you, Doctor." Grace answered and ended the call, but her gaze was fixed on Noah, who didn't stop smiling."The hospital bill has been paid. That's what you did, right?"Noah only raised his eyebrows and shoulders when asked like that by Grace."Noah, answer me. You paid for my mom's hospital bills, right?" Grace asked again."Tsk. Call me 'honey, babe, or darling'. I'm already your husband," Noah grumbled instead of answering."Is it that important to talk about calling you like that right now? I'm serious, Noah. Please don't joke around!" Grace complained, "Are you still the same man who just moments ago threatened me with a cold face?""Yes, it's still me, and I need to hear you call me affectionately. And that's your first obligation because I have every right to ask you to call me that," Noah said casually.Grace hissed and tapped her forehead. She was always helpless against Noah's silliness when he teased her.Grace started to
It was almost dark when Noah's 14-billion-dollar Aston Martin finally entered the hospital area of Great Eden Hospital Center, and Noah parked his car in the parking lot reserved for the doctors there."Can I come in? I want to see Aunt Gina for a minute," Noah asked as Grace busily unbuckled her seatbelt."You want to come in to see my mom, but she's still in surgery, right? And what if my mom gets sick again after seeing you?""I can't keep you company in there anyway. I'm going straight to work after confirming the payment of the hospital bill, and even now I'm already running late," Grace said with an honest answer."Alright then. I'll visit Aunt Gina later when she's better.""For God's sake, I don't want to hide our marriage from Aunt Gina for long," he said as he stroked Grace's cheek."Already, hurry up and get inside," Noah replied, a little disappointed because he wanted to continue being with Grace even though it was a hospital, not a place to date."Hmm, I'll go in first.
'Noah Blair? I think I've heard that name before. It can't be Noah Blair, the sole heir of Cruise International, Zara Jones' fiancé, right?' Jonathan was still trying to remember the name of the man in front of him."Noah, you don't have to say anything to him. Just get out of here." Grace didn't want Noah to reveal their relationship to Jonathan unnecessarily."Come on, so the reason you're rejecting me is because you already have another guy paying off your mom's hospital bills, right? Ok, I get it," he said with a mocking smile."You're a doctor here, right? I'll make sure you receive your termination letter from this hospital if you don't watch your tongue. So now you just remember my name and stay away from my women!" Noah spoke firmly and immediately drew a clear line for Doctor Jonathan."Okay, clear enough for me," Doctor Jonathan answered Noah directly before turning to Grace. "Grace, thank you for everything. I'm sure I'll repay you someday." He said it irritably and left wi
Now, Noah's expression was colder than before he left Grace just a moment ago. He was sure the call from his mother was not as simple as expressing her longing for her son."What else is Mom up to?" he muttered in annoyance.Less than forty-five minutes passed before Noah finally arrived at his family's large mansion. As he got out and was greeted by the doorman, Noah saw a new luxury car parked there."Did my mom buy another car?" Noah asked the doorman who received his car keys."No, Mr. Noah. That's not Madame's car. It's Madame's guest car."Hearing the answer from one of the workers at the family mansion made Noah raise one eyebrow suspiciously."Well, park my car out front. I won't be here long," Noah ordered before entering the main door of the house.Just as he entered, Noah immediately noticed that there was someone other than Mrs. Sayla smiling and welcoming him into the living room."Noah, welcome. Come quickly, son. Zara's been waiting for you, you know!" Mrs. Sayla greete
Noah left his mother in anger. He went down the stairs and then passed Zara, saying, "You're coming with me." He said it coldly.Zara was both excited and anxious, but she nodded and followed Noah out of his parent's house.Noah opened the car door and said, "Come in, we'll talk inside.""Hmm, okay," Zara replied without forgetting to smile gracefully.Noah started driving his car quietly and without looking at Zara for even a second. The atmosphere was awkward, and Zara didn't know where to start."Why are you here? Don't you still have to be in London?" Noah began to ask."Hmm, I'm attending a meeting to discuss a fashion show collaboration I'm doing with a fellow designer. So I stopped by your parents' house first because I missed Uncle and Auntie," Zara answered very carefully. Noah's aura was so cold at the moment."I know what you guys are talking about isn't as simple as you say. Admit it, my mom discussed remarriage plans with you, right?" Noah's tone was colder this time."No
