Note: Hi! We are back to the present timeline. Thank you!N O E L L E“Mommy?” Noah asked while we were watching his favorite educational program on TV. I prefer him watching cartoons like Peppa Pig, Phineas & Ferb, or Spongebob Squarepants, but he insists on watching this kind of boring program.He knows what is good for him, and I suck as his mother.“What is it, baby?” I am eating chips while he is eating fruits. I feel like I am the stubborn child between us.“Aren’t you going to work? You are stuck here for a week now.” He complained, and I blinked my eyes multiple times before processing what he said.“You don’t like me here?” I make a sad face. “You don’t want to spend time with mommy anymore?”He sighs, losing patience. “Parents usually go to work to make a living, mom. I can take care of myself.” He

N O E L L EI woke up Noah and smiled widely at him. “Good morning! Happy birthday, baby!” I greeted him after showering him with kisses. He giggles, and I can’t help but shower him with more kisses.“Alright! That’s enough. It’s my turn!” We stopped and looked at Maxwell. He is holding a big gift box, and Noah shrieks in excitement. “Happy birthday, son. I am wishing you good health and more birthdays to come.” Maxwell said as he planted a kiss on Noah’s forehead.“Mommy, Daddy, I love you both so much!” He said before laughing. Maxwell and I looked at each other with a wide smile. My heart melts to the nth time because of Noah.Maxwell gives him our gift, and he excitedly opens it. “Wow! It’s a Soccer uniform and a new ball?! Awesome!” He exclaimed, and we knew he would react like this. Maxwell sat on Noah’s bed and pulled Noah closer to him.

L E V I“Are you fucking serious, man?” Ian, one of my friends, asked as we headed back to our table near the pool.Hughes embarrassed me in front of my friends and Noelle. I won’t let him pass the next time he does that to me. Hughes is clearly using my past against me. I will make things clear to Noelle one day, and for sure, Noelle will forgive me.“I couldn’t believe she’s Noelle that you were talking about,” Tom said.Ian gave us a bottle of beer. “Your ex-fiancée is smoking hot, dude.” Jet exclaimed, and I quickly shot him a death glare. “Oh, come on, dude. I am complimenting your ex-fiancée.” He said as he chuckled. Remembering Noelle's look earlier makes me feel strange. I think something has changed in her body. She’s sexier now than before. Her swimsuits look hot on her. It emphasizes all her sexy features, and any man who can see him will defi

N O E L L EI knocked on Levi’s office three times. “Come in.” He said in a deep voice. I breathed out first before opening the door.I came in and walked until I reached the front of his table. “You called for me, sir?” I asked.He looks at me before resting his back on his swivel chair. He sighs in frustration before pinching the bridge of his nose. He looks mad, and I think I am the reason. “I was checking all the doctors’ 201 files, and I found out that you and Hughes are living in the same house?!” He yelled, and I got nervous all of a sudden.Why did he check the employees' 201 files? Is he the HR now? Change of career? The hell with this guy. I breathed out to calm myself down. “I believe our CEO has no right to ask why his employees are cohabitating under the same roof. It’s too personal, sir.” I said as I swallowed the lump in my throat.

N O E L L EI was sitting on the wooden chair in the garden when Maxwell finally arrived with a cup of coffee. We had our lunch together, and we decided to hang out here for a while until our break time ended.I am observing Levi and Doctor Young, who are talking on the second floor of the building. I can see them from the garden, and I think they are talking about a serious matter. “What is it?” Maxwell followed my gaze, and his eyebrows knitted after seeing where I was looking at. “I’ve been seeing them together lately.” He said, and I nodded.“I think Levi is distancing himself from me,” I announced, and Maxwell looked at me with disbelief. I chuckled at his reaction. “He was trying to avoid me these past few weeks, and I think it is because of dad,” I explained.“What do you mean?” He suddenly seemed nervous.I pat his shoulder while shaking my head. “It st
