Celine Barney and Blair Tanzel sat opposite each other on the living room couch of their beach house.Blair felt very awkward and didn't know what to say in front of her stepmother-in-law. A few minutes ago, after Celine pulled Blair's hand out the door, suddenly, the woman came running into the house.Blair couldn't kick Celine out. But, she was also unhappy to see the appearance of the woman whose presence was very intimidating.Celine sat on her feet proudly. She was fanning her arms against her body as she watched the beach house intently.Blair actually couldn't bear to see Celine getting hot. She also got a paper fan and tried to fan Celine."What are you doing?" Celine dismissed the paper fan that Blair was swinging. "You're only going to ruin my hairdo with that fan. Why don't you use the air conditioner anyway?""Oh, that. Since I was pregnant, I was not friendly with air conditioners. And the natural breeze from the air vent is sufficient for air conditioning. Because the wi

Blair and Axel were on their way back to their beach house. They really drive in silence.Axel focused on driving even though his mind raged about threats and pressure from Celine. Meanwhile, Blair is still thinking about Celine's words about the secrets kept in the Barney family.Blair was never comfortable whenever dealing with Celine. The woman had an aura that was both powerful and terrifying."You want ice cream?" asked Axel suddenly."What? Ice cream in the middle of winter?"Fifteen minutes later, Blair walked into a convenience store, grumbling. She headed to where the ice cream was sold."He always does," Blair grumbled. "Pretends to offer me something, but actually, he wants to buy the food himself. In the end, I again have to go down and buy. Can't he be a little more empathetic towards pregnant women?"Unknowingly, Blair walked over while rubbing her growing belly. Her steps were more agile than before. She was so careful while paying attention to her surroundings.Blair s

"You shouldn't have promised to pick me up! Or you shouldn't have asked me to wait!"Blair shouted furiously at Axel.Axel took a deep breath and let it out. He wrapped a towel around his waist and explained to Blair in as calm a tone as possible."I came to the hospital, and you weren't there. I've also tried looking for the nearest restaurant but need help finding you. I am curious to know how many restaurants I've been to. And I've also tried calling your cellphone, but it's inactive. And finally, I decided to check on you at home.""You're just making excuses! From the start, you intended to avoid picking me up. You're just trying to play me, Axel Barney!""Blair! Blair, wait!" Axel rushed to block Blair's steps from leaving the bathroom."Ah!"Blair suddenly groaned from a sharp pain in her stomach. She held her stomach while leaning against the bathroom wall.Axel was surprised. "What is it? Are you in pain? Shall we go to the hospital now?"Blair just shook her head as she remo

Axel was in his office. He sat uneasily as if he was waiting for someone.Open door.Axel immediately straightened up and put on a cold face. It can be seen from the hands tightly clenched in the middle of holding back the emotions about to explode in his head.Marco and Carlos came dragging a young man in a black jacket and hat. The young man continued to rebel, fight, and curse. He asked Carlos and Marco to let him go.The two bodyguards had no intention of letting him go. They gripped the young man's arms tighter and dragged him to Axel. The young man was forced to kneel in front of Axel.Axel got up from his chair. He stood with his hands clenched and stared at the young man so sharply.The young man was indifferent. He casually massaged his stiff jaw. His face was bruised, and fresh blood was still coming from his cracked lips."Fuck!" cursed the young man. "What do you really want? I will sue you for assault and kidnapping."Axel grabbed something from the table and threw it rig

Axel and Blair sat huddled together on their living room couch. In front of them were a journalist and a cameraman who captured the moment of intimacy."Final question," said the journalist. "Mrs. Barney, do you know Clarissa Jordan?"Axel's face hardened. He had asked reporters not to talk about his failed engagement to Clarissa. Axel looked uncomfortable in his place. However, Blair looked so calm and answered the reporter's question."Yes, of course, I know her. Clarissa is my husband's business partner. Currently, they are carrying out a new area development and revitalization project.""But she and your husband seem close," said the journalist."They are close because they have been friends for a long time. In fact, my in-laws and Clarissa's parents have also been friends for a long time. Axel and Clarissa have been friends since they were in school. I feel grateful because Axel has a good friend. In fact, when we were fighting, Axel often talked about it with Clarissa to ask her
