"Rest up, thank you for accompanying me to the village." Edward immediately opened the car door after arriving at Chika's house. The woman quickly got out of Edward's car, looking at Edward who seemed lethargic after the long journey."No need to thank me Edward. I should be the one thanking you for being my best friend."Edward could only smile wryly when once again Chika considered him as a friend. Even though it was clear that he loved that woman so much, but no matter how many times he tried to express his feelings, Chika still only saw him as nothing more than a friend."Until when will you only consider me as a friend, Chika?"Suddenly Chika rolled her eyes in annoyance. Indeed, Edward had said this to her repeatedly, but no matter how many times, she would keep saying the same thing."Please don't start again Edward. No matter what, you will always be my friend." She flashed a smile at Edward, hoping the man would understand her feelings. "Alright, be careful on your way home E
In the morning, Keysa, who had heard the news about Audi, decided to go to Elnora's apartment. She needed to tell her best friend in person."Where are you going, Keysa?"Billy, who had just finished showering, approached his girlfriend when he saw that she was currently getting dressed, indicating that she would be coming out soon.Without turning to Billy, Keysa replied, "I want to see Elnora, she must know the news about Audi."Billy immediately sighed. He did not expect that Keysa would meet Elnora this early. She could have called her directly without bothering to come there."You can call her directly, Keysa, instead of bothering to come to Elnora's apartment," Billy said as he walked towards the cupboard, took out clothes and started wearing them.Keysa, who heard it, turned her head briefly to Billy, sighing after getting a suggestion from her boyfriend."You know yourself how Elnora is, until now even she still hopes for Xavier. Audi's return to Xavier's life, of course, make
"Well, can you at least take me there?"Keyaa reflexively released her embrace of Elnora. The woman was quite surprised by the request that just came out of her best friend's mouth. Was she not hearing it wrong this time? "What did you just say elnora, didn't I hear wrong?" Keysa looked seriously at Elnora, where the woman was currently shaking her head as a sign that Keysa had not heard wrong."No, Keysa, you're not."Keysa sighed, she didn't understand at all what was the purpose of El Nora asking her to take the woman to Xavier's house. Though the man was already happy for meeting his wife, but now what else did Elnora want? Can't that woman stop bothering Xavier? Seeing the reaction given by Keysa made Elnora then say, "don't get me wrong Keysa. I'm just there to see how Audi is doing."Although ElNora had said so, but still He did not agree with what Elnora said. "Shouldn't you just call Xavier, Elnora? Instead of bothering to come there."El Nora quickly shook her head, indica
"Madam, Miss Elnora came here just now."Mrs. Lena, who was just about to leave in her luxury car through the gate, immediately stopped when she heard the report from the security guard of her daughter-in-law's house.Madame Lena was currently planning to go to a supermarket to make Audi's favorite meal. After her daughter arrived home, until that moment her daughter looked so gloomy that she even touched the food only slightly. That's why Madame Lena wanted to make Audi's favorite meal which her daughter had never refused. The middle-aged woman turned her head, frowning in confusion as she looked at the security guard right beside her car. "Miss Elnora? You mean Xavier's ex-wife?" asked Madame Lena to confirm her hearing. The security guard nodded his head and replied, "Yes, ma'am, Miss Lena came here just recently. But I've asked her to come back tomorrow because Mr. Xavier doesn't want to be disturbed."Hearing the explanation from the security guard made Madame Lena sigh. She d
"Do you want something? I'll buy it for you."Xavier sat beside Audi, staring at the woman who was silent. Since returning home the woman had been confined to herself, not wanting to come out of the room at all."Audi," Xavier whispered while gently holding the woman's fingers. Seeing Audi who was only silent like this, made Xavier sad, it seemed like there was a heavy trauma experienced by his wife during the kidnapping."You're home, dear, so... stop being sad. You're safe now." Xavier kissed those delicate fingers, kissing them fondly. He loved the woman who became his wife very much.Seeing Xavier treat her like this brought tears to Audi's eyes. For some reason there was a sudden tightness in her chest. She also slowly pulled her hand from Xavier's grip, making Xavier look directly at the woman."What's wrong, Dear? Why are you crying?"Audi shook her head, turning her face away to stare in another direction. The image of when Anthony had grabbed her chastity, made Audi instantly
The sounds indicating the worms that have been screaming for food come from the stomach of a man who is currently focused on the monitor screen in front of him. Both of the man's retinas seem to be continuously fixed on the intriguing laptop monitor. "Sigh... why do I have to be hungry at the wrong time?" the man grumbles with frustration. He glances at the watch on his hand, seemingly unsure of its time, then looks at the clock on the wall. 12:36 PM Xavier, the man, sighs deeply. At this hour, there's no hope of satisfying his hunger. No, it's not because Xavier lacks a lover or partner, but his wife, deeply involved in the outside world, has made him accustomed to her absence whenever he's busy working like this. Currently, Xavier deliberately didn't go to the office. He decided to work from home because not only is he lazy to prepare early, but he also wants to focus more in his empty house. Xavier leans back in his work chair, his gaze wandering around the living room. He s
Xavier focused on the work displayed on his laptop screen. For him, the job on his laptop was far more important than his wife, who he felt had no effect or impact on his life whatsoever."I am confident in my decision."Elnora's voice echoed in Xavier's ears. There was no hint of fear or concern about the words that had just come out of her mouth. Xavier's heart had become like a rock, unaffected by anything thrown at it, much like rocks in the ocean.From the corner of Xavier's eye, he could see Elnora's annoyed expression because she hadn't received any response from him since earlier. It wasn't that he wanted to prolong the conversation to hear more from his wife; it was simply because Xavier was now focused on saving and not losing the files he was working on.Xavier had made it clear that his work was far more important than anything, including his wife. Elnora hesitated; her face showed a high level of confidence, thinking that Xavier must be restraining himself to prevent her
Xavier clenched his fists.A sigh, a sign that he was trying to release all the burdens and anger from the humiliation spoken by his ex-wife, fueled a fierce resentment within Xavier. Truly, he never felt regret after being divorced by that woman. However, Xavier would never accept the fact that she dared to insult him.As if realizing that his anger would only waste his time, Xavier let go of it, shifting his focus to something more important. He reached into his pocket and took out his phone without a case.His hands were skillful, dancing across the screen as he played with it. Once he found what he was looking for, Xavier pressed his phone to his left ear, attempting to contact someone whose name was written in characters only he could understand.After a short while, the call connected. A person with a soft voice, a sign of respect towards Xavier, spoke from the other end."Get ready at the location. I'm back."A few concise words from Xavier carried significant meaning.The voic
