Chloe looked visibly anxious and irritable while she was at one of the bakeries she frequently visited. Together with her assistant, Samuel, she spent time discussing work-related matters as well as personal issues she had been experiencing lately.This time, they were discussing the upcoming wedding, which would take place in two days. It was something that made Chloe feel frustrated and upset."Oh my God, Samuel, do I have to marry that man? Is there still a chance for me to back out?" she asked in frustration. She seemed like a person on the verge of losing her mind."Madam... calm down a bit. You will be fine. Remember your purpose for doing all of this."Chloe took a deep breath, exhaling slowly to release the frustration building up in her chest. She had to be patient, as Samuel suggested. How could her plan be realized if she gave up before anything even started?"Edward even challenged me to fall in love within three months. That man is truly insane!" Chloe vented her frustrat
"Are you ready, dear?"Chloe nodded confidently as Dylan picked her up directly from the hotel room. Once again, she checked her appearance in the mirror before heading towards the Ballroom where the event would take place. She was making sure in her heart that she would soon become the wife of Sebastian Edwardo Martin.Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined marrying someone she despised so much. Chloe even wondered why life could be so ironic. To fulfill what had been planned from afar, she had to reluctantly marry the man she believed was behind Nathalie's death.Chloe was determined. Once this case was revealed, she would personally drag him to prison, redeeming every wrongdoing he had done to her sister."Chloe... Can Papa say something?" Dylan asked as they were about to leave the hotel room."What does Papa want to say?"Dylan approached Chloe, took both her wrists, and spoke again, "When you become a wife, be good to your husband. Accompany him in good times and bad." Dyl
Chloe blinked her eyes repeatedly as she woke up from sleep. Squinting, she tried to guess the numbers displayed on the digital clock above the nightstand. Then, she looked to the side but didn't find Edward in his bed. So, where did he go this early morning?For a moment, the blonde woman stretched in her bed, flexing her muscles before deciding to sit up and prepare to get out of bed. Just as she was about to rise, she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. There was Edward, shirtless, casually passing in front of her. It seemed intentional, as if he was getting back at Chloe for something she did last night."You can take a shower now. After that, we'll have breakfast together and then go to my place," Edward said, handing Chloe a bathrobe."My place?" Chloe asked.Edward nodded. "Yes... we're married now, so it's only fitting for you to live with me.""I thought you lived in an apartment. Aren't single men supposed to prefer living there?" Chloe inquired, her curiosity evid
Chloe smiled politely and replied, "For now, I don't need anything, but... can I ask a question?""Of course," Leta nodded confidently. She couldn't possibly deny her employer from asking questions."Does Edward often spend time here?" Chloe inquired.Leta shook her head rhythmically. "Mr. Edward used to come home here frequently, but lately, he spends more time in his apartment. He only visits this house occasionally.""Ah...," Chloe cleared her throat and nodded in understanding. "Previously, did Edward often bring women home?"Leta's forehead wrinkled slightly. "Forgive me, does that mean your husband used to bring his dates home before you got married?"Chloe nodded. "Yes, that's what I meant. No need to be shy or secretive. Just tell me everything. I just want to know Edward's behavior before marrying me.""Well...," Leta began to share. "As far as I can remember, Mr. Edward used to bring women home quite often. I even remember who some of them were.""Did they stay overnight?" C
"Mr. Edward, how much longer do I have to wait for you? If you're busy, I can go to the office by myself," Chloe pouted. Her patience, which she had been trying to nurture, vanished in an instant, replaced by annoyance as she waited for her husband to finish his tasks.Today, Chloe purposely accompanied her husband to the Quantum building. She was asked to accompany Edward to a meeting with some shareholders. After the event, she planned to return to her own office. However, until this moment, Edward showed no intention of letting her leave."Just wait a little longer, Darling," Edward replied, still focused on examining some documents on his desk."Ah!" Chloe retorted. "Can't you just call me by my name? Besides, we're in the office. Your behavior is very unprofessional, Ed."Edward raised his head and then burst into laughter. Nicholas, who happened to be in the CEO's office as well, smiled in response."What's wrong with using the term 'Darling'? Am I committing a crime by calling
Chloe was shocked when she opened her eyes to find Edward asleep beside her—not lying down but sitting right next to the nightstand. The man's head was left resting on his left hand. At the same time, his right hand gripped Chloe's fingers tightly. Slowly, he tried to let go of Edward's hand. But the man woke up feeling Chloe's movement instead of letting go. "Are you awake?" he asked. "How are you feeling now?" There was a tinge of worry in Edward's question. "I'm fine," Chloe replied coldly. Maybe you are still dizzy due to the side effects of the drugs injected into your body. But before long, the woman's eyes flashed sharply. She looked at Edward questioningly. "Who changed my clothes?" Edward casually replied. "Of course I am. Who else? There's no way I'd have Samuel or the driver at my house take his place." "You!" Chloe shouted. "How dare you take off my clothes!" Edward shook his head. I feel sorry for the condition of his wife. But refraining from laughing, let alone seeing
After the small argument in his office, Edward kept his promise to take Chloe to Dylan's hotel. When they reached the parking lot, he attentively helped her unbuckle the seatbelt that was wrapped around her body."Your work is done, I'll pick you up," Edward said."Tch, I'm not a child who needs to be dropped off and picked up. No need to be excessive," Chloe declined. "Besides, I'm an independent woman. I'm used to doing everything myself."Edward grinned. By God, arguing with Chloe was something he enjoyed immensely. According to him, her beauty would increase tenfold when she looked annoyed, let alone when she pouted."Do I need to clarify our relationship status again?" Edward tilted his body to face his beautiful wife directly. "Let me emphasize. During these three months of winning your heart, please accept all the attitudes I show you."Chloe snorted, not responding. She chose to reach for her sling bag on the car dashboard, preparing to get out of the car.However, before she
Waking up at 7 in the morning, Edward seemed to be already up despite it being a Sunday. He uncovered the blanket, giving a quick peck on Chloe's cheek as she was still sound asleep. Then he got up slowly and headed to the bathroom.He took quite a while to get ready. After dressing neatly, he returned to the bed and pulled a small chair, sitting not far from where Chloe lay.Edward's hand reached out, brushing aside the strands of hair covering his wife's cheek. He gently caressed her, whispering her name softly."Chloe... wake up," he commanded. "Wake up, my love."The one being awakened blinked her eyes repeatedly, gradually gathering her senses until her eyes opened fully. Grumbling lazily, Chloe responded."What else do you want to wake me up for this early?" she protested, tucking herself back under the blanket. She deliberately covered her face. "It's a holiday. Can't I just rest peacefully?"Edward approached, using his right hand to stroke Chloe's hair. Then, he slowly tried
