YSABELLE The doctor left after checking Ashley's condition. Thankfully, her fever has slowly gone down and is now out of danger. What kind of mother am I? I should have noticed earlier that she's not feeling okay. My eyes were glued to her, lying on the bed while sleeping peacefully. Ronan gets the VVIP room for us and has three beds, which is better. “I'm sorry. I-I shouldn't have let–” “It's not your fault.” I automatically said. Ronan was feeling sorry about what happened to his daughter. The same goes for him. He also didn't notice what was wrong with Ashley at the party. He reached Ashley's hand and wrapped his both hands around the tiny one. With concerns fixed in his gaze, I felt my chest constrict as I looked at him. I am unable to comprehend how I feel while staring at his worried expression. I just realized that he changed after he became a father. The door suddenly opened and the person striding inside the room made me frown. “What are you doing h

YSABELLE As I was done dressing up Ashley and Ashton, I asked the nannies to call our bodyguards when they were done packing our luggage. I abruptly stayed away from Ashley when I felt Ronan’s presence behind me. After I saw the ring in his necklace yesterday, I've been avoiding him since then. This is how it should be. Keeping my distance from him was supposed to be my main goal from the very beginning. Why does he still have the wedding ring? I thought he despised our marriage and that ring symbolized our marriage. Those thoughts were running in my head, to the point my head and chest ached. The whole day yesterday, I felt weird because of that goddman ring. I turned my attention to folding the blanket and making sure we would leave the room neatly. Through my peripheral vision, Ronan was striding towards me. I firmly shut my eyes and walked away from him again. However, he took hold of my arm. “You haven't been talking to me since yesterday. Did I do something wr

YSABELLE I stretched my arm as I gazed at the clock, hanging on the wall. The time I've been waiting for has arrived. I pack my belongings, ready to go home. I don't know why I'm in a hurry to go home. But one thing is for sure, I'm tired. As I was about to come out of my office, Paul suddenly appeared at the door. “Miss, there's an abrupt meeting but Mr. Reid is not here, so he asks you to attend that one first.” I release a sigh as I scratch the back of my neck. “Just reschedule it for tomorrow.” Connor should show up at the meeting, not me. As I walked past him, he blocked my way. “But they did not agree.” He looks tense as he keeps glancing at his wristwatch. Why is my secretary bothered at this meeting? Connor's secretary should be the one having trouble here because his boss was not around. Jeez. I don't have any choice. With a sigh, I tap his shoulder. “Let's go then.” We made our way to the venue of the meeting but I frowned when Paul stopped the car in

YSABELLERonan’s face lightened up as he saw me, bewildered at his out-of-the-blue visit. But I felt relieved that he looked well despite what I speculated that Connor's target was Ronan.Why am I even worried?With a sigh, I punch in my passcode.“How are you?” He suddenly asked.“One week is not that long. Of course, I'm doing great.”We entered the unit and the twins were surprised by the sudden arrival of their father. They play in the living room as I told the nannies to get a rest now. They watch cartoons as usual while the twins fight over the character they want.I headed to my room and washed up. While in the bathtub, I'm anxious about why Ronan came back all of a sudden.He must have heard the news about us. Thinking about that stuff again gives me a headache.It's not Ronan who told the media. I know how devoted he was to his private life. My experience proves that Ronan doesn't want to talk about his private life in public. He never introduced me as his wife before.I shoo

YSABELLEAs I want the kids to spend time with me, too, I joined them at the kids' play center. There was nobody else inside. There were simply the four of us moving around while chasing the twins running to the pool with slides and balls in the middle of the enormous and extensive room.It must be fun if other children are hanging out around here.As much as I want to join the kids in playing, I just can't. They are already having fun with Ronan.His smile and laugh, which I hadn't seen before, were all over his face. I still am not used to seeing him on this side of Ronan Volkov. “Mommy!!!”Ashley screamed and distracted my thoughts.“Ashley, lower your voice, please.”“Come, come, come.”“I will just watch over here.”How can I smile and laugh with Ronan? I heavily sigh and eat Ashton's leftover snack. I supposedly enjoy my day off with my children, but it seems they like being with their daddy right now. Am I jealous?It's better this way.If we used the law to fight custody…
