The atmosphere in the office was shrouded in silence. The three of them seemed preoccupied with their own thoughts. They all examined the remaining files on the table, each with a similar characteristic: the report paper looked fresh, as did the ink. Knock. Knock. The waiter entered with a tray containing the orders from his three employers. After placing drinks and snacks on the table, the waiter left the room. "I'll sort these files out." After speaking, Edeline immediately stacked the files together and placed them on her father's desk. "Let's discuss this on the sofa so we can relax," Valton said, getting up from his seat. "This problem is making my head feel heavy," he continued, sitting on the sofa and reaching for a cup of coffee that was still steaming in the air. "Father, just leave this matter to me and Almero," Edeline said, seeing her father's anxious expression. “What Miss Edeline just said is true,” Almero said, joining in, unable to bear to see Valton's exhaust

Almero slowly climbed the stairs to the second floor. His mind was still reeling from Edeline's words a few minutes earlier. He hadn't expected her to show such anger and abandon him and his father so easily. A sudden warmth crept into his heart after learning that Edeline was truly afraid of losing him. Almero recalled his relationship with Abigail—she never worried about him, even when he was sick or had just had an accident. Almero continued climbing the stairs with a sad smile; his sincere love for Abigail had only been exploited by her. Upon arriving in front of the room, Almero paused for a moment before finally knocking on the door with the back of his hand, turning the handle, and entering. "Miss?" Almero called out as he stepped into the room. He saw Edeline standing in front of the window, her arms crossed over her chest. The woman turned her back to him and showed no sign of wanting to speak. Almero, seeing this, could only sigh softly. “Still angry?” Almero asked pati

Okan sat relaxing in the flower garden behind his house. He enjoyed his coffee with a little sugar. The gentle afternoon breeze calmed his heart a little. The birds perched in the tree in the backyard continued to chirp, their chirping sounding like relaxing music to his ears.However, the calm didn't last long. Okan saw Renia approaching, her face bright red, as if indicating her irritation. He placed his coffee cup on the table just as Renia stopped in front of him."Why do you look so angry?" Okan asked, pulling his wife's hand to sit beside him. "Who made you angry?" Okan asked, without taking his eyes off his wife. Okan didn't realize that the one who had made the woman angry was none other than himself.Renia sat staring intently at her husband, her chest heaving as if expressing uncontrollable emotions. Seconds later, she began to vent the emotions that had been throbbing at the top of her head at him."Of course you're the one who made me angry," Renia hissed, her voice barely

Almero sat at the dining table after making instant noodles, for some reason feeling like he had lost his appetite. Flashes of Edeline preparing his meal and feeding him wandered through his mind, making him miss his wife even more, even though they hadn't been apart for long. Almero leaned back in his chair, staring at the instant noodles without intending to touch them. Just this morning, Edeline had fed him, but now that he was here alone, he felt like something was missing—and that was being with Edeline.Almero stood up from his seat and stepped into the room. He lay down on the bed, using his arms as a pillow. He stared up at the stark white ceiling. He recalled kissing his wife without permission, and for some reason, his heart felt uneasy."She hasn't contacted me yet, or even asked if I've arrived yet. It seems she's really angry with me," Almero said, tilting his head, his face troubled. Meanwhile, at the Xander family's dining table.Edeline shoved food into her mouth. She

"Mr. Almero, I'm going first, is that okay?" asked Mr. Han, watching Almero and the woman so close."Yes, of course, Mr. Han. I'll be home soon too," Almero replied, placing the empty glass on the table.After that, Han stood up and shook hands with Almero. Then, he walked away with his chosen woman. Almero sat back down next to Celine.Almero was shocked. When he realized Celine had moved closer to him, even stroking his thigh, just as her hand was about to touch his sensitive area, he immediately grabbed her hand and pulled it away with a slightly rough movement."What are you doing, Celine?" Almero asked, his jaw clenched."Do you know I've always loved you, but you've been with Abigail, making me unable to approach you. But now that you're alone and without a partner, is it wrong for me to try to approach you?" Celine asked, looking at Almero sheepishly. Celine could feel her heart pounding as she stared at Almero. She never imagined she'd meet the man she loved so much here. Cel
