Cesilia is aware that many journalists are searching for her, but she's confident no one will ever find her. She's currently staying in a house provided by Alexander, and nobody knows about it.She has been living there alone for almost a week, taking care of everything herself to avoid being disturbed. She wants to calm her heart before confronting Alexander.However, things took a bad turn after she decided to escape and be alone. Her departure triggered Maxime's emotions, leading him to dare spread all their intimate photos on social media.Cesilia is trying to find a way to keep her name clean in the eyes of netizens and her fans. She plans to come up with a reasonable excuse before coming out of hiding.If not, her career will be ruined once the public finds out about her affair with Maxime, while Alexander maintains a good reputation. Despite frequently postponing having children, she has never received any scandalous rumors. She can't imagine the relentless attacks she would fa

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. As a famous model, her actions would become headline news everywhere. 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

"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

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

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
