Casandra sighed, just waiting to see what surprise Meri would give her and Alexander."Sir, it's your phone." Casandra handed the phone back to Alexander.The man turned and took the phone. "What did Mama say?"Casandra shrugged. "Madam said that tonight we'll have dinner here. She'll order the food for us.""That's unusual." Alexander put the phone in his trouser pocket. "Usually, Mama doesn't like to eat outside food much. She says it's not healthy.""I don't know either, Sir. But Madam assured me that you'll like the food.""Alright, then."Alexander ended the conversation, leaving Casandra to figure out what to make for them."Oh, by the way, Sir." Taking a position beside Alexander. "Aren't you going to eat the ice cream? You're just letting it melt like that." She pointed to the ice cream in Alexander's hand. It seemed a shame to see such delicious ice cream left to melt."I didn't let it melt. I might have been daydreaming earlier, so I forgot to eat it.""Now, eat it, please.

In Alexander's mind, after he laid Cassandra on the bed, all problems for tonight were resolved. The only task left for him was to deal with the disappointment of Cesilia leaving so abruptly.Indeed, she said goodbye, but it felt too rushed, as if her job was the most important thing right now. There was not even a hint of consideration for her role as a wife.Going back to the issue of Cassandra, Alexander couldn't understand why he now felt drawn to her figure lying on the bed. The girl, after getting drunk, was unconscious, vomiting, and now, after two hours have passed, she could finally rest properly.Just like yesterday, Alexander was forced to put his shirt on Cassandra. He couldn't fathom what her mother was thinking, as there wasn't a single piece of suitable clothing found in Cassandra's suitcase.Alexander was also surprised to find a bottle of wine in Cassandra's luggage. He didn't understand why she would hide the wine, but that wasn't a concern for the moment. What's cle

As the sun began to rise, its light peeked through the curtains. Casandra blinked her eyes, feeling uncomfortable waking up with the sunlight shining on her face. She groaned slightly, starting to feel a headache as she opened her eyes. Perhaps it was the severe hangover from last night that was so bad that Casandra couldn't keep her eyes open for too long.However, as she glanced to the side, Casandra was startled. She found Alexander sleeping curled up under the blanket. His body was trembling, and his lips were pale. Casandra reached out with one hand to touch Alexander's forehead because he didn't seem well."Oh my, Sir," Casandra instantly jumped, the pain in her head and the drowsiness in her eyes vanished as she felt how hot Alexander's body was at the moment."Are you running a fever, Sir?"Alexander shook his head. "No, I'm fine.""How can you be fine? Your body is hot," Casandra protested, not accepting Alexander's answer. She couldn't believe that he would claim not to have

Entering the house meant Casandra could breathe a sigh of relief because she wasn't alone in taking care of the sick Alexander. It's not that Casandra didn't want to take care of her husband, but she didn't understand what he disliked and what medicine Alexander should take when he was sick. Alexander, who was hot-tempered and had many restrictions, automatically had several things to avoid when he was sick, so it was better for Casandra to play it safe than sorry.Casandra didn't want to mishandle someone more sensitive than a pregnancy test. "Finally, you both arrived," Meri greeted them as they returned. Alexander looked weak and pale, his fever still high despite Casandra giving him a fever-reducing medicine at the airport. "You, having a dinner with Cesilia when it was clear the food was prepared by Mama for you and Casandra. This means it's your fault and karma for you!" Meri scolded, lightly hitting Alexander's arm repeatedly, unaware that her son was now truly weak and dizzy.

"How? Have you found Cesilia?" Alexander hadn't entered the house yet, and Meri bombarded her son with questions.Alexander nodded softly. "Yes, Mom. I found her at the agency, and she said she stayed there last night.""Then, did she tell you anything about what happened to her last night?" Meri pressed, very curious about what Cesilia did last night."She said she was tired and fell asleep, that's why she couldn't activate her phone. And when morning came, she immediately went to work. I did see her well-dressed, ready for a photoshoot.""Well, thank goodness if that's the case." Meri felt relieved that Cesilia wasn't affected by the drug she put in the food last night.However, there was still something bothering Meri because it was highly unlikely that Cesilia was fine after consuming the drug. If Cesilia ate, she would undoubtedly experience what Alexander felt. But Meri kept her analysis to herself for now; she didn't want to discuss it yet because Alexander's health was more im

Time and time again, Alexander hit Frans with a pillow, but the man couldn't stop laughing. He even had to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes because he couldn't contain his laughter.The story Alexander shared was truly hilarious, and it made Frans forget how to stop laughing."I can't believe you experienced that on your wedding night." Frans continued to chuckle between his words.He couldn't fathom how his friend ended up in such a funny situation last night. It might not have been enjoyable for Alexander, but it was definitely a laugh for Frans to hear about it.Frans had experienced something similar a few years ago, but since his wife preceded him, he hadn't encountered such a situation again."Don't laugh at my misery. Your friend is suffering, and you're laughing. You really have no heart," Alexander grumbled after delivering his final punch.He wanted to throw Frans out of the bedroom window, but he didn't have the energy to do so."How can I not laugh? It's clear as

"How is Alexander, Frans?" Meri greeted Frans, who had just come down the stairs."There's nothing to worry about, Mom. Everything is fine. Alexander just caught a cold from soaking in the water for too long."Meri nodded. "Thank goodness.""Mama is not thinking negatively about Alexander anymore. He's doing well. Oh, by the way, Ma, it seems we need to talk for a moment. Do you have time?"Without much hesitation, Frans thought he would act as an intermediary to convey Alexander's feelings to his mother."Of course, for Mamang's child, anything. You and Alexander are the same in Mama's eyes. Let's talk in the living room. It's not comfortable to talk here, as there are several household assistants passing by, and you wouldn't want them to overhear our conversation.""Sure." Frans put his arm around Meri's shoulder and led the middle-aged woman to the living room. There, Frans would talk to Meri. Eye to eye, discussing according to Alexander's account earlier. He hoped that after list

"Can I go home now?" Cesilia asked, wiping off her makeup. After a three-hour photoshoot, she now wanted permission to return home and see Alexander. A few hours ago, Alexander had told her that he wouldn't be reachable for a few hours because Frans had given him sleeping pills."You can, but around ten o'clock tonight," Maxime replied nonchalantly, not even looking at Cesilia as he was busy with his phone in hand. He seemed serious about something on his phone."Tomorrow, I don't have any schedules, it seems. Can I just stay home? Alexander is sick, and I promise I won't do anything with my husband," Cesilia made one last effort for permission."No one can guarantee that, so I won't give you more time than I have set. You come home at ten o'clock tonight, and at seven in the morning, you should be at my apartment. I'll send you the address to your phone. I'll wait for you there.""Maxime, please," Cesilia approached him. "Don't be like this, Alexander might get suspicious if there's
