Forcing a smile, Cesilia followed Maxime's steps to meet the journalists in the living room. Earlier, he had gone out and confirmed that they indeed had a special relationship.Cesilia didn't know Maxime's intentions and goals for doing this, but it was clear that everything he did was for his own benefit. Still unable to accept the news that Casandra was now pregnant, Cesilia had to face the journalists with Maxime by her side, who had been holding her hand tightly. Today, Cesilia had to lose all the trust from her fans and netizens.She also had to accept that her marriage would truly fall apart after this.

All social media and electronic media would be busy reporting on the breakdown of her marriage and the presence of Maxime as the third party.She didn't know where her reputation would be placed in the future. For now, following Maxime's wishes seemed like a better decision than him doing something harmful. She

"Cas, please listen to me!"Alexander tried to reach Casandra's hand, asking his wife to stay and not leave the house.Swearing on anything, Alexander couldn't bear to be separated from Casandra, especially now that she was pregnant with their child."I'm sorry, Lex. I can't. I can't bear to live like this, being accused of stealing you from Madam. I swear, Lex, I'd rather leave than live a life filled with scorn." Casandra brushed off Alexander's hand, refusing to listen to his words."Let Casandra go. Besides, she's already pregnant, so there's no point in continuing the relationship. Once your child is born, then you can meet her to bring Mama's grandchild," Meri interjected.Alexander looked at Meri. "B-but, Ma. If she leaves, there's no guarantee that our child will be fed nutritious food. That's what I'm worried about, that she just doesn't care."Meri nodded. "Alright then, let Mama ensure that your child gets proper nutrition. Mama will also make sure she reaches the village s

"Surprisingly, you invited me to meet. Usually, when I come, you always avoid me," Maxime plopped down next to Cesilia, shaking off the rainwater that had soaked his clothes as he walked from the car to the house.Cesilia pulled the corners of her lips. "Suddenly, I wanted to ask for your opinion. Honestly, not meeting you for a whole day feels like something is missing from my life," she honestly admitted. Lately, Cesilia and Maxime used to be together almost 24/7, but now they haven't met for almost a week since Cesilia ran away and hid.Whether it was avoiding or something else, Cesilia didn't know for sure, but what was certain was that Maxime hadn't visited her since the press conference. He had promised to come back after finishing all the work, but what was the truth? Maxime only came after she asked him to. They had been communicating through chats and social media greetings."Alright then, what makes you ask me to come? Don't say you miss me because I'm sure that's impossible

"Where are we going, Lex? Why are you dragging me like a fugitive?" Robert protested when Alexander suddenly showed up at the office and pulled him away. Although the important work was already finished, Robert was still puzzled by Alexander's behavior."Stop talking and come with me right now!""Sure, but where are we going? This office won't be taken care of, Lex. It's the first time we have a leader who doesn't care about the company at all," Robert kept protesting while Alexander dragged him along."Let the other staff handle all the work here. I really need your help because Frans is about to have an operation in a few minutes."Robert sighed heavily, conceding to what Alexander wanted. He stumbled along, following Alexander's fast pace toward the elevator.Robert didn't know what happened to his friend, but he decided to go along with Alexander's request."Now that we're in the car, and I'm the one driving, you can tell me what's going on and why we're in such a hurry. Also, let

It feels like Alexander wants to be angry and lose his temper, but unfortunately, he's facing his own mother. He also wishes he could curse because his heart almost stopped when he found out that his wife wasn't in her hometown. However, once again, it's his own mother who's behind this plan. No matter how much he wants to be angry, he can't express it. He can only manage a slight smile and curse himself for not understanding what the worker had said earlier.Alexander vividly remembers that one of the workers he contacted mentioned that they hadn't seen Casandra since his mother left. He can analyze on his own that his wife must be with his mother.Upon further thought, Alexander realizes that Meri wouldn't allow Casandra to stay alone in the hometown, especially with the ongoing house renovation and the workers there. It's highly unlikely that she would give permission. Moreover, Casandra is currently pregnant with their child. Just being with his mother is already possessive, let a

"Cas, listen to me," Alexander kneels in front of Casandra, holding both her hands. "Forgive me for my lack of understanding. For not realizing that my wife was hurt. Forgive me for letting you see all those hateful comments from netizens."Casandra gazes towards the window, avoiding Alexander's gaze. She's trying hard not to react, until..."Mama is sure that Alexander will go to the village. Mama is also sure that he will meet Yasmin if he realizes you're not there. So... Mama asks you to remain silent. Don't offer him forgiveness until he addresses the Cesilia issue."That's roughly what Meri said, as Casandra woke up from her sleep. This is the second day she's stayed with her mother-in-law, facing morning sickness without the presence of Alexander.Casandra wants to embrace Alexander due to the overwhelming longing she feels. Forty-eight hours isn't an easy time to get through without her husband. However, she must restrain herself if she wants to hear all the confessions and exp

Alexander nodded and hugged, still feeling a strong longing for his wife."Yes, as you said back then. How about we matchmake Yasmin with Robert while they're getting close like this? Let's just matchmake them. Who knows, Yasmin might be the one for Robert. For the 34 years of his life, this is the first time I've seen a woman he's comfortable talking to, even laughing like that." He pointed to Robert and Yasmin with his chin.Casandra just nodded. "But, Lex. Yasmin just received her school graduation certificate. She's only turning nineteen. Will Robert be willing to care for Yasmin, because her thoughts are still quite childish. Even for sleeping, Yasmin still sleeps with her parents when her mother is on leave from work. She never lets her other siblings monopolize our mother.Maybe because she lacked affection, she's a bit spoiled. I'm busy working from morning until night. I come home when the three of them are already asleep, and I leave before they wake up in the morning. So, a

Crying felt useless now, like the rice had turned into burnt porridge. No matter how much she tried to fix it, there was no way to bring it back to its original state. No amount of processing could yield something enjoyable for anyone. That was Cesilia's current predicament. Her body trembled as she stared at the two red lines displayed on the pregnancy test she had just ordered online.No wonder Cesilia had been feeling something was off about her lately. Tears flowed uncontrollably as she realized she was pregnant, something she hadn't expected. She remembered using contraception, but somehow she was pregnant now, and she was certain the fetus in her womb was Maxime's child."Why did this happen?" Cesilia whispered, unable to hide her fear as she looked at the pregnancy test. She had tried several tests from different brands, but the result remained the same: positive.Hastily grabbing her bag and car keys, she headed to the hospital to confirm the test results."Approximately four
