Chapter 116In the quiet night, with only the soft hum of the air conditioner in the background, Rosette found herself restless. The unfamiliar surroundings and recent events had kept sleep at bay. She decided to take a walk on the balcony, where a gentle breeze swept through the curtains.Looking up at the night sky, she contemplated her feelings. The door creaked open, and Khein joined her. His eyes resembled the stars—deep, mysterious, holding untold stories.In the quiet night, they stood together, surrounded by the vast sky connecting their unspoken thoughts. In the dim light, their connection felt tangible, like invisible threads tying each star in the cosmic tapestry.As she gazed at the stars, Khein's presence comforted her. His eyes revealed a depth echoing the vastness above, sharing untold stories. It was a moment where words weren't necessary, and the language of the night embraced them in shared understanding."Trouble sleeping?" he asked, his voice a comforting melody in
This is a free chapter for you guys! Thanks for suporting this book! A few more chpaters and we'll finally say good bye to Khein and Rosey... CHAPTER 117 It happened so quick before they knew it. Up until now, it was hard for Rosette to process how they end up that way. She never imagine this day would come. After what happened to them in the past, she was hopeless. It was like a dream that is impossible to achieve. Yet here she is, with the man she truly loves. “Huh…” she whispered. Staring at the engagement ring gracing her finger, memories of the one he had given her five years ago flooded her mind. There was a time when they were engaged, caught up in a promise of forever. However, life took an unexpected turn, leading them down separate paths that stretched into what felt like an eternity. Circumstances, like the hands of fate, intervened, whispering that the time wasn't right back then. Neither of them was ready to shoulder the weight of such a commitment. Rosette, haunted
His brows furrowed as he glanced at her briefly, then gently scooped her into his arms, carefully laying her down on their bed. He hurried off to get a glass of water.As Rosette sipped the water, she felt a mixture of embarrassment and amusement. Khein's concern had an intensity that surprised her, making her realize the depth of his worry. She couldn't help but chuckle at his stern expression.His fingers continued to run through his hair, a clear sign of the residual tension. "Don't do that again. You scared me," he reiterated, his voice a blend of relief and a touch of scolding.She couldn't resist teasing him a bit. "Kinda overreacting, ain't I?" Her sheepish grin contrasted with his still-concerned demeanor.He sighed, sitting down beside her. "I just want you to be okay. I put effort into cooking, and seeing your reaction... well, it got to me."She reached out, playfully nudging him. "I appreciate the effort, really. Maybe just stick to the usual recipes next time?"Khein's in
Chapter 119Nervously tapping her finger on her lap, Rosette was biting her lips. She did it gently though because Khein’s keening eyes were watching her.They were already back in the city, to the city’s hospital specifically to have a check-up. Although she knew she might be pregnant, but it still made her nervous for some reason to be able to hear the result from the doctor itself.On the other hand, Rosette felt like Khein was unfazed. He looked calm, as if it doesn’t bother him at all. He was just looking at the door where the doctor exited a while ago, waiting for him to come back with result. Her phone vibrated, signaling the return of the network, and with it, her connection to the world. Glancing at the caller ID, she saw her younger brother's name flashing on the screen. With a mix of curiosity and nervous anticipation, she answered the call, bringing the phone to her ear."Yes?" she greeted softly, momentarily forgetting her nerves."Rose," Xieb's voice came through, deepe
Chapter 120The dinner eventually arrived, and Rosette and Khein prepared themselves for the news they were about to share. Rosette was bubbling with excitement, eager to reveal the joyous announcement. She felt more than ready to embrace motherhood, knowing that this time it would be a different and fulfilling experience. The scars from her past loss were still there, but they didn't paralyze her with fear. Instead, she faced the future with hope and gratitude for this newfound blessing.As she adorned herself with makeup, Khein couldn't help but express his admiration. "You look so beautiful, baby," he commented, watching her with affection.She rolled her eyes playfully and chuckled. "I always am, but thanks."His smirk only widened, and the exchange carried a lightness that reflected the love and joy they shared. In this moment of anticipation, Rosette's heart swelled with a mix of emotions—happiness, gratitude, and a touch of lingering apprehension. However, the positive anticipat
Chapter 121“Hi,” Rosette said, engulfing her younger brother, Xieb, in a warm hug as they arrived at his restaurant.“You’ve gotten quite thick, huh? You must be well-fed these days,” he teased, earning an eye roll from Rosette.“Of course. Duh.” She glanced back, noticing Khein observing them as they exchanged greetings. A smile played on her lips as she took a step back and wrapped her arms around Khein. “Babe, don’t just stand there. Introduce yourself to my brother.”Khein responded with a small smile and extended his arm for a handshake. “I’m Khein Bianchi, Rosey’s boyfriend. I suppose you are her younger brother, yes? Xieb Ivanov if I am not mistaken.”Xieb's gaze shifted to Khein, offering a tight smile. “Yeah. Nice meeting you.”The two men stared into each other’s eyes with a seemingly silent sparrow. Despite his initial reservations about men around his sisters, Xieb recognized the genuine affection between his sister and Khein. While a protective instinct lingered in the ba
“Alright, let’s settle already!” Xaire cheered, lifting the mood. “The food must be waiting for us.”Xavier's hand instinctively wrapped around Margarette’s small waist. Even after decades together, he never lost his interest and love for Margarette, his Wildflower. With four kids, his top priority remained his wife, the one who continued to brighten his world. While he loved his children dearly, he knew they would eventually create their own families, but he and Margarette would be each other’s constants for the rest of their lives.Xieb smiled and nodded at his father as they settled at the table.“Good evening, ma’am, sir,” Khein formally greeted, bowing his head in respect.Margarette gasped, her eyes filled with anticipation, while Xavier offered Khein a firm nod of acknowledgment.“You must be that boy, right?” Margarette asked, her eyes twinkling. “You’re Rosey’s boyfriend, aren’t you?”Khein flashed a shy smile as he blushed. There was no doubt that this woman was Rosette’s mo
Chapter 122The hospital room felt heavy with tension as Rosette sat on the bed, facing her father with a mix of guilt and determination in her eyes."Dad, I'm sorry," she apologized, her voice soft but resolute.Her father's stern gaze bore into her. "How can you be so reckless, Rosey?" he scolded. "Do you think you're ready for that?"Rosette looked down at her lap, her hand instinctively resting on her flat stomach. "I-I don't know yet, Dad. But I'm pretty sure Khein and I will be able to manage. Besides, I'm no longer young, we both have stable jobs, and we're now engaged. Though pregnancy is unexpected, it's already there."A heavy sigh escaped her father's lips. "When I agreed to have you borrowed by that motherfucker, getting you knocked up was out of the agreement. That boy clearly took advantage of the situation and had you knocked up! What a piece of trash! I should just have shot him in the head instead!"Rosette bit her bottom lip, her gaze distant as she recalled the chao
