Chapter 31
The sound of doorbell kept ringing for minutes. Anybody could tell the one who was ringing it was too impatient for the house owner to open the door. However, neither of them wanted to give the other what they wanted. The house owner wished for peace of mind and yet he refused to do anything about his ringing doorbell, giving him an endless headache as she crouched on the sofa while hugging himself. On the other hand, the person outside the door had no plans of giving up until the door opens and let her in. With that said, the scenario continued for an hour and none of them had yet to give up.“Shan! Ah! This guy is wasting my time. Why won’t you open the damn door?” Lucy, Shane Vargas’ manager groaned as she stopped pressing the button for the doorbell. She took an exhilarating sigh and fetched her phone from her bag to call him. “I swear! I wouldn’t forgive you if you don’t answer this one,” she muttered under her breath and dialed the actor’s number. A beam of hope filled her face

“Do it yourself, Bastard!”Lucy glared at Shane when the latter started talking nonsense. She was willing to listen to his sentiments but didn’t promise she would give him good advice. Besides, Shane’s problem could be easily resolved. All he had to do was to quit his showbiz career and ask for Audrey’s forgiveness for life. Sometimes, she wanted to tell him to do that but was also afraid he would follow her advice and still fail. Lucy knew what Shane did to Audrey was too much. Even though she tried to talk to him about it before, telling him to let his wife know about his plan to avoid misunderstanding, he didn’t listen. And just like what she predicted, Audrey was totally over with him.“You should better know your priority in life, Shane. I’m saying this as your friend, not your manager. You’re famous now and have lots of great offers but you can’t marry Audrey again if she wants a divorce,” Lucy ranted. She was finally able to speak up her mind. It was also tiring for her to see

The room was filled with fresh air, making Audrey smile. She decided to open the windows and let the air inside. Since the mansion was surrounded by a mini-forest her mother-in-law personally designed, she could take in a lungful of air without worry. She thought it would be good for Asher too. Since she couldn’t spend a long time outside with him, watching the tree branches dance outside through the window was her solution. Asher seemed to enjoy the wind as well as he giggled every time Audrey’s hair would be blown away and touched his face.“Do you like that?” Audrey smiled at the baby in her arms. They were sitting on the couch while looking out the window. She also had a book on the table in front of her but instead of reading, she preferred talking to Asher instead. “Do you like Mommy’s hair? I’m glad I’m washing my hair every day, otherwise, this little guy here might complain, huh?” She scrunched up her nose when he reached out for her face and gave her a gummy smile. “You’re s

Days passed and Shane was back to work. After bawling his eyes out in front of his manager, he ended up fulfilling his newly accepted project. The matter with Stephanie had died down as the public interest shifted to the new talents of the year. Of course, there were still talks about him and Stephanie having a baby and the latter taking a break from Showbiz to focus on her motherhood but it wasn’t that much compared to before. Shane was relieved he was able to do what his company wanted despite causing a huge rift in his relationship with Audrey. Furthermore, the fact that he had to act like Stephanie’s husband in the eyes of the public also gained him more popularity. Nevertheless, it didn’t change the fact that he wanted to divert the public’s attention toward someone else and not to his real-life partner. He did the previous job with Stephanie while thinking about what good it could do to his secret marriage with Audrey. It was just that not everyone would agree with his choice bu

It had been two days and Shane couldn’t get any more listless as he waited for his wife to call him again. He couldn’t sleep in excitement while having the thought that Audrey was still willing to give him a chance to fix his mistakes, but failed expectations hurt really badly and he was about to face that reality.“Are you done now?” Lucy asked the actor who kept tossing and turning himself on the couch while staring at his phone on the center table. “You should be reading your script instead,” the manager added and sighed when the other didn’t seem to hear what she just said.Thankfully, the meeting with Tiffany went smoothly. Perhaps because Shane was in a good mood and didn’t bother much despite Tiffany’s hostility toward him. The producer of the show ended up not showing up though and for some reason, Shane didn’t mind about it either. The latter would usually not let it go but he was drowning in the excitement that everything seemed fine to him.“Lucy, what do you think I should

Audrey called for the nanny to come over and have her bring Asher to his crib. She was afraid something might happen to her child as she conversed with Shane. She watched the nanny climb upstairs with her baby before taking a deep breath and facing Shane. She took her cup of tea and had a sip. Her body was shaking slightly and she needed a moment to calm down.“I forgive you,” Audrey said with a smile on her face. Her eyes weren’t lying. She meant what she said. After all, she was only waiting for Shane to apologize. She wasn’t the perfect wife for him either and she also felt like apologizing. However, before that, she needed to be clear with her intention. “It’s not that I don’t want to understand why you have to do those things. Maybe I just need to hear those words from you,” she added.Shane, on the other hand, was surprised. His eyes widened and his mouth agape. He couldn’t believe Audrey would forgive him just like that. He thought he was only hearing things inside his head but

“So, what’s going on?” Nathan asked Audrey as they had tea time one afternoon when the former came to visit. “I thought you wanted to divorce him. Why is he sitting in front of you now?” The blond gazed toward Shane who managed to stay calm despite what he just heard about him.Audrey put down her cup and shrugged. She didn’t want to see the man either but he kept coming with the excuse of seeing his child. Although it irked her to see him almost every day, she didn’t say a word and let him do his part as the father of her son. “He’s my son’s father, Nate,” she said.“And your husband,” Shane muttered, earning a groan from Audrey. “We ain’t divorced,” he added.Audrey smiled. “Yet,” she mumbled. Audrey raised an eyebrow and stood from her seat. “It’s getting late. You should be going now,” she told Shane who was caught off-guard. Audrey was low-key kicking him out and he couldn’t argue about his right to stay.“I understand you want him off your sight, Hija. My apologies though, I hav

“Audrey, wait!” Shane hurriedly ran upstairs to follow Audrey to her room after dinner. “Why do you keep avoiding me?” His eyebrows furrowed as he met her gaze.Audrey stared at him blankly. She felt like dissing him but she didn’t choose violence at the moment. It was already late and she rather has a good night’s sleep than argue with anyone, especially with Shane. “Why not? It’s not like we’re on good terms, Shane. Face it. We’re soon to be divorced. Just a few more weeks and we’ll be legally over. Let’s get over it, shall we?”Shane was still not used to Audrey’s cold treatment toward him. He never dreamed to be treated by her like that. But things were already out of his hand. He knew it would be hard to earn her trust again and everything else wouldn’t go back to the way it was before. However, stubborn as a bull, Shane didn’t want to give up just yet. He thought he never did his best for her so far and it might be the perfect time for him to do it.“Will you be happy if we divo

Chapter 39
The air had gotten thicker as the awkward silence enveloped the garden. Shane became the center of attention, earning unpleasant gazes from everyone else. He blamed himself internally for being clueless but accepted the fact right away that he was at fault. Unfortunately, the others seemed not too comfortable to keep him around after what he’d said.“Jared helped me,” Audrey blurted out after a long awkward silence. She figured the others didn’t know what to say in that situation. As Asher’s father, she thought Shane had to know how she managed to keep their baby in a such difficult situation she was in. “He was the one who brought me to the hospital when I happened to give birth in the car.”“You what?” Shane raised his voice in utter surprise. He couldn’t believe his ears. He knew Audrey had trouble giving birth and felt bad not being by her side in hard times but didn’t expect it to the extent of her having labored in the car. “You were driving when you’re pregnant?”“It was unexpe

“I wish to be the child’s godfather,” Tristan said with a serious face. After thinking thoroughly about what he should do next, he realized he wanted to be Asher’s godfather, not because he was Audrey’s son but because he wanted it. He was worried Audrey wouldn’t agree but he still wanted to ask.Audrey went quiet. She would have greed as Tristan saved her and Asher’s life but at the same time, it was hard to respond when Shane was around.“No,” Shane said with clenched jaws. “Why would I give you a reason to get close to my family?”“Why not? Your so-called family wouldn’t be here now if not for him,” Audrey blurted out. She didn’t plan to argue with Shane yet again but the latter never changed. After what she heard earlier, Audrey felt nothing but the need to get a divorce right away. But at the same time, she couldn’t proceed with the divorce before Asher get christened.“Audrey is right, Shane. Tristan here was godsent to both your wife and son. Asher would be one day grateful to
