Aurora's face looked cheerful all day long. Despite having many difficult tasks to complete, she seemed to handle everything with ease. Velia, who had been observing, even wondered what made her friend's mood so good since earlier."Why have you been smiling all this time?"Just as she sat down at her desk, Velia questioned her. Being curious, she wanted to confirm what had actually happened."Why? Isn't smiling a part of worship?"Velia immediately groaned."Oh my God, that's so cliché. Everywhere, if someone smiles without a reason, it means they have a mental disorder. It's better to quickly get checked by Dr. Donna."Aurora immediately frowned. How dare she be accused of being crazy like that."Careless. I'm just happy enjoying my freedom. After all the problems are solved, it feels so relieved."Knowing why Aurora was happier, Velia groaned immediately. She remembered how her friend had kept hiding what was happening."Ah, not a friend. You call yourself a friend. But, there's a
Alex massaged his throbbing temples. His head felt like it was about to explode thinking about how to pay off the debt Aurora had demanded from him.For Alex, 10 million wasn't a small amount. Even after calculating the assets distribution, he could only back up half of it."Mom... let's just sell this house. For God's sake, Alex doesn't know where to find a large amount of money in just a few days."In the living room, Alex tried to discuss with his mother. Persuading and pleading with Savana to consider the suggestion he was offering.After all, selling their only house was Alex's only hope of quickly paying off the debt. Then they could move to a smaller house and start anew."No way!"Savana shook her head firmly. She immediately rejected her beloved son's request."You can ask for anything from Mama. But not to sell the house. This is the only inheritance from your late father. If we sell it, what else will we have to remember him by?"Alex sighed heavily. He was torn. In his hea
In the past, it wasn't easy for Aurora to seek her parents' blessing to marry Alex.Apart from feeling that they weren't from similar backgrounds, Alex at the time didn't have a steady job either. "Even though both are educated, Alex still isn't the right match for Aurora, Dad. What's the use of having a high education if he doesn't even have a stable job? Not to mention, he's known for changing partners frequently. I'm worried that Aurora might be left behind when he gets bored.""Dad, I'm not entirely comfortable either. But Aurora seems determined to choose Alex."Truly, Joshua was uncertain. He was worried about letting go of his beloved daughter to a man he considered not yet established. Especially when Asher revealed a fact that Alex was someone who liked changing partners frequently.It was difficult for Joshua and Elena to give their blessing. But because Aurora kept trying to convince them, and Alex also tried to win over his future in-laws, Joshua eventually agreed to their
Actually, Aurora is a bit traumatized by the events at the hospital a few days ago. It's not about arguing with Savana that bothers her. Instead, it's about the violent actions carried out by her former mother-in-law that nearly caused her physical harm.If there hadn't been anyone to help, Aurora is certain she would have sustained injuries from being slapped and scratched by Savana. Just imagine, in her rage, that woman came and attacked without caring about her surroundings.Meanwhile, Asher has repeatedly urged Aurora to report this incident to the authorities so that Savana would be deterred. But, because she doesn't want to prolong the issue, she chooses not to discuss the incident."Can you believe you have a former mother-in-law acting like a lunatic?"Velia keeps on talking. She's so frustrated that she almost always condemns Savana's actions as going too far."Throughout the marriage, did that witch of a grandmother often mistreat you or what? I suspect she enjoys domestic v
"Asher, haven't you finished your work yet?"In the evening, when it was time to leave work, Aurora deliberately approached her younger brother who was in the ER room. She wanted to make sure Asher had finished his work since it was time to go home.Aurora asked for a reason. Considering after the incident with Savana, Asher insisted on escorting his sister, meaning she had to go home with him."I'm still checking the patient diagnoses. Some of them are in unstable condition.""So, should I wait for you?"Before Asher could answer, several nurses ran over, asking Asher to move to provide medical treatment urgently."Doc, there's an emergency in the VIP room. Dr. Alfredo tried to handle it. He's asking for Dr. Asher to perform the surgery."Asher nodded. He quickly got ready."Let me check the patients first. You guys prepare the operating room." Then Asher approached his sister again. "Aurora, you go home with the driver. I'll call for pick-up later."Although Aurora had already agree
"Let me help you carry it down."As the car he was driving arrived right in front of Aurora's house, Alden gladly offered his assistance. Despite the short distance, he couldn't bear to see the woman carrying her shopping items alone."Don't worry, it's free. I won't charge for the help."Alden continued to offer his help, persuading Aurora until she finally nodded in agreement."Thanks for your help. Sorry for bothering you.""Not at all, Aurora."After all, what's so difficult about helping to carry shopping bags? It didn't require much effort at all."No need to thank me for such things.""But..." Aurora interjected after a moment. "Regarding what happened at the bakery earlier, I also want to thank you. Thank you for making my troublesome cousin shut up."Alden chuckled. He had already forgotten about it, but now he was reminded. It was funny to think about how he responded to the ridiculous accusations from Aurora's cousin."No wonder she wanted to split from Alex quickly. Turns
Aurora had finished her breakfast. Reaching for the doctor's coat hanging on the chair, she quickly got ready and headed straight to the front of the house, worried that Asher had already arrived at her residence.However, when she stepped out, Aurora was taken aback. Instead of her brother, she found Alden there."Alden? Why are you here?"Alden just smiled. He knew Aurora must be confused."I'm here to pick you up."Aurora paused for a moment. "Pick me up? But I'm supposed to leave for work with Asher. He's the one who usually picks me up."Alden nodded. He didn't deny Aurora's statement."Yeah, I know. Actually, I came here early because Asher asked me to pick you up in his place."This made Aurora even more puzzled. Why would her brother suddenly ask Alden to pick her up? Was it intentional because he wanted her and Alden to get closer again?"Wait," Alden said. He then took out his phone, opened the messaging app, and showed it to Aurora. "I'm not lying. Asher asked for my help."
"This is all because of Aurora!!!" Savana cursed loudly. Her heart ached deeply accepting the reality of what was happening to her family at the moment. No matter how many times Alex tried to calm her down, she couldn't extinguish the anger and frustration that had built up so high."Be patient, Mom. Just consider this as the consequence we have to bear."Savana couldn't accept it. Turning around, she shot a sharp look at her son. Why couldn't Alex understand what he wanted?"You tell Mama to be patient? After splurging, wasting money on useless women like Nicole? And what's the result? You're tangled in debt and end up selling Dad's inherited house?"Alex sighed wearily. Almost every day they argued about the same things.Even though he had eventually managed to pay off all his debts to Aurora by selling the only remaining house, Alex couldn't say he was living peacefully. Until this moment, his mother was still angry. She was not accepting at all because they had to move to a small
