"Darling, what's wrong?""Help me, Darling!"Dason was confused hearing Audrey's scream, even though she was not far from him.Dason immediately hugged Audrey, fearing that something bad had happened to his wife. The others, who were engrossed in fishing, also panicked and looked towards Audrey, who was still standing in the water.One second.Two seconds.Even three seconds passed in a truly tense atmosphere; everyone was worried about Audrey, who seemed to be screaming in fear."Audrey, what's wrong, dear?" asked Mrs. Ayu, who looked very concerned. Mrs. Ayu's panicked expression showed that she truly considered Audrey as her own daughter, making her extremely worried about Audrey, who was still in the middle of the river.However, who would have thought that in the next moment, Audrey burst out laughing, making everyone sigh in relief.It turned out Audrey was just playing a prank on Dason; she said her legs were being nibbled by many small fish, which tickled her, causing her to s
"Dason, what's wrong?""Why are you just silent?"Dason looked flustered when he heard Mr. Yusuf’s question. Mr. Yusuf seemed puzzled when he saw Dason suddenly go quiet."Oh, it's nothing, Mr. Yusuf, I just remembered something and was thinking about it because I might have forgotten," Dason said with a smile.Dason's answer made Mr. Yusuf even more puzzled.Dason tried to hide the turmoil in his heart because no one here knew about the mission he had to complete.The strange thing was that both the mysterious app and Ella had stopped sending messages, as if they were letting Dason proceed on his own.Or maybe they knew Dason had successfully completed the mission, having restored Andra's parents' plantation to him.Dason then clasped his hands together and felt normal, even sensing his strength had increased. This meant he had successfully completed the mission and had his power enhanced by the mysterious app. If he had failed, his energy would have been withdrawn, leaving him usele
"What brings you here, Auntie?""I'm here to pick up my nephew, Andra, because he’s still in school, and his school is in the village where I live.""And then?""So, I think it’s best for Andra to stay at my house, so he doesn’t have to travel too far to get to school, to ensure he doesn’t get late. Besides, what can someone as young as Andra do in leading a company without parental guidance?" Mrs. Lily explained passionately, seeming to have found a way to continue leading Andra's plantation company. Despite having reached an agreement during the trial, she would never give up."Hahaha."Dason burst into laughter upon hearing Mrs. Lily's explanation about Andra.Mrs. Lily looked furious at Dason, as if he were mocking her.She almost slapped Dason, but he swiftly grabbed her hand and pushed it away forcefully, causing Mrs. Lily to stagger and almost fall."You useless man! You dare to disrespect me, who only wants what's best for the orphan's property?!" Mrs. Lily asked Dason sharply
Finally, Dason and Audrey headed back to the city, with Mr. Yusuf in a different car."Darling, don't be sad," teased Dason, noticing Audrey suppressing her sadness as their car began to leave the village border and gradually move away."I am sad, and somehow I feel like I truly belong in that village," Audrey said, leaning her head on Dason's shoulder.Dason gently stroked Audrey's hair, understanding her feelings. He knew his wife had received more attention from Mrs. Ayu during their time in the village. Perhaps Audrey was only now experiencing the care of a mother, something she had never received from Mrs. Merry.Mrs. Merry, who never paid attention to her children, was always busy with work and her socialite circle, causing her children to feel distant from her.Especially since Audrey married Dason, Mrs. Merry seemed to forget about Audrey, especially when Audrey chose to leave home and live with Dason."Don't be sad; someday we'll come back to that village. And we'll visit our
"Welcome back home, Mr. and Mrs.," greeted Aunt Sumi as Dason and Audrey arrived home, just as the day was starting to turn into evening and dusk began to settle in."Thank you, Aunt," replied Dason softly."Ah, finally we're back here again," said Audrey.Dason simply nodded in agreement with Audrey's sentiment, knowing full well that behind Audrey's apparent heaviness at leaving the village, there was also a longing for their home, especially for her small library.The house hadn't changed much since they left, after all, it had only been two months, not two years."Mr. and Mrs., I've prepared your favorite meal to welcome you back home," Aunt Sumi announced."Thank you, Aunt," said Dason, but then he paused and furrowed his brow, looking at Aunt Sumi with surprise. "But how did you know we were coming home today? We didn't inform anyone.""Hahaha, you two don't know that I'm always updated. I actively ask Pon, Robi, and anyone else about your whereabouts. I asked when you would ret
“Hans, Pon, or anyone!”“What’s wrong, Sir?”“Quick, prepare the car, Audrey is sick.” Dason yelled frantically, searching for a driver to immediately prepare the car and take Audrey to the hospital, as he felt Audrey's body was burning up.It was understandable that Audrey felt so weak; she was indeed unwell. The guards promptly prepared the car for Dason.Dason quickly carried Audrey's body into the car, surprising Audrey when she opened her eyes.“Darling, what's wrong?” Audrey asked, a hint of rebellion in her voice, especially when she saw the panic on Dason's face.“You're sick, Honey. Why didn’t you tell me you were feeling unwell?” Dason said while continuing to carry Audrey to the car.“I just feel a bit unwell, but I'm not sick,” Audrey weakly replied.“Just be quiet now. Can't you feel how hot your body is?” Dason said.Finally, Audrey chose to stay silent. She did feel extremely weak and drained of energy. She didn’t even have an appetite, but she didn’t realize her body w
"Please be patient, sir. We need to examine her first.""How long will it take, nurse?""Not long, sir. Just a few minutes. We need to wait a bit to ensure the results are accurate."Dason looked impatient as he waited for the nurse to check Audrey's pregnancy. He hoped Audrey was truly pregnant, and they would soon have a child. Audrey also looked tense, waiting for the nurse to explain the results of the test."I hope you're really pregnant, darling," Dason said, kissing Audrey's forehead.It wasn't long before the nurse smiled and looked at Dason and Audrey."Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Audrey is indeed pregnant. The test pack results indicate that she is positively pregnant," the nurse explained with a smile."How far along is my wife?" Dason asked."We can't determine the gestational age yet. We'll call in the obstetrician for a more thorough examination," the nurse replied.Dason was overjoyed, hugging Audrey repeatedly. "Congratulations, darling. Thank you, God, we are finall
"It's up to you, darling.""Yes, we shouldn't treat our parents that way. If we do, we're no different from them, always looking down on us, considering us inferior."Dason took out his phone. He wanted to call Merry to inform her that Audrey was in the hospital because she was pregnant.Ring! Ring!After a few rings, Merry finally answered."Why are you calling me at this hour? Don't you know any manners or rules? Nighttime is for people to rest," Merry snapped, answering Dason's call without any greeting.Yet, when Dason and Audrey were in the village, Merry was so active in calling to ask for money."I'm sorry, Mama. I didn't mean to disturb you. I just wanted to let you know that we are back in the city, and tonight Audrey is in the hospital. It turns out she's pregnant, Mama," Dason informed Merry."So, what does that have to do with me? I'm not a doctor, nor a midwife. If she's pregnant, let the doctors and nurses take care of her," Merry responded coldly."Yes, Mama. We are at
