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
Chloe took a deep breath, trying to control the annoyance still lingering in her heart."Don't waste time! Quickly take me to your parents' house. And don't keep talking along the way. I need to rest."Edward wanted to laugh, but because he was already threatened, he abandoned the idea and chose to drive his car immediately, taking his wife to her parents' home.Throughout the journey, Edward occasionally glanced at Chloe, noticing how she still looked sulky. She was probably very annoyed because her day off had been disrupted.Trying to coax her, Edward stopped the car for a moment at a supermarket they passed. He got out and returned a few minutes later with a large bowl of ice cream, handing it to Chloe."For you," he said. "Honestly, I don't know your taste. But as far as I remember, everyone, whether male or female, young or old, likes ice cream. I hope, after eating it, you'll feel much better."Chloe took the bowl of ice cream from Edward without saying a word in response. She
Chloe walked wearily into Le Meridien Hotel Piccadilly. Upon entering the room, Samuel greeted her. He was slightly puzzled to see his boss looking so pale. In his mind, he suspected that something might be wrong. With that thought, he quickly walked over to her."Ma'am, are you okay?" Samuel inquired as he placed the shopper bag she was carrying on the table. He then sat down, bringing his right hand to gently massage his forehead, which was still throbbing with pain. For the past two days, she had been feeling unwell."I don't know, Sam. I think I caught a cold or maybe it's because of lack of sleep. My head has been hurting for a few days now," Chloe replied.Samuel nodded, turned around, and headed to the pantry. He took the initiative to prepare a warm cup of chamomile tea for Chloe and immediately handed it to her."Maybe this can alleviate your headache," Samuel said, offering the cup to the woman in front of him."Thank you." Chloe didn't hesitate to take a sip of the tea that
