"Back then, Uncle and Xavier's mom used to come to this mall a lot every weekend when Uncle didn't have work anymore."Audi was seen walking on the left side of the middle-aged man. Meanwhile, Xavier appeared to be walking with a blank face right on the other side of the middle-aged man."But, yeah. There were hardly any days off for Uncle back then. If time could be rewound, Uncle would definitely take her wherever she wanted every weekend."There was a tone of regret behind that statement.Audi, who saw and felt clearly the sadness enveloping the middle-aged man, looked briefly in Xavier's direction.Unintentionally, Audi shifted her gaze to the man on Xavier's side. It turned out he was also looking towards the middle-aged man but with his usual neutral expression.Audi fell silent for a moment, thinking of a way to break the silence among the three of them.She then hugged the middle-aged man from the side."Uncle Zavi shouldn't talk like that. I'm sure. Xavier's mom must be reall
After dropping off Zavier at his residence, the middle-aged man asked the two significant individuals in his life to stay overnight. Despite the darkening day, concern lingered for both of them."No, Uncle. Next time, Xavier and I will definitely stay. Just for now, let's head home," Audi politely declined.As the woman spoke, Zavier found himself unable to say anything. Here they were, Audi and Xavier, on the journey towards the mansion, surrounded by an unbroken silence.Neither Audi nor Xavier seemed willing to break the silence, not because they weren't on speaking terms but due to the awkwardness stemming from the encounter with Elnora.However, Audi, unable to endure the silence, felt restless. She wanted to end the silence drama."Ahem!" Audi cleared her throat, hoping he would initiate a conversation after hearing her signal.Unexpectedly, Xavier seemed indifferent, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. Frustrated, Audi repeated her throat clearing near him.Once again, her attemp
"Already spent 1 atm by Elnora. Not only indulging with her lover, but she also gives many bonuses to the attendants at her store."This 1 atm is incomparable to the two checks in my hands. I'm truly fortunate, especially after breaking free from that useless man!"A fleeting memory of where Xavier dared to oppose her makes her heart feel even hotter.How could any woman want to be beside a man who clearly only brings disaster?"I'm sure he deliberately used black magic. What else can he do besides enchanting other women with a love potion?"Elnora is very convinced of all this.Regardless of everything, she doesn't want to be burdened with thoughts about her ex-husband's life.Regardless of how he behaves, the bottom line is Elnora no longer cares.Elnora is no longer the wife of that man. Their lives have taken different paths, no longer in the same direction."Hm... turns out having a lot of money is quite exhausting. I don't even know how to spend all my money anymore."Elnora loo
Elnora hurriedly parked her car to quickly reach her boutique.Many people stood in front of her boutique, seemingly ready to protest against Elnora's shop."Chaos! Everything's a mess now!"Elnora looked worried.The luck she thought would save her life and elevate her career turned into a nightmare she would never forget."Patience! Stay calm, everyone. The owner of our boutique will arrive shortly."Elnora faintly heard explanations from all the staff in her shop.They tried their best to control the crowd intending to disrupt their boutique."What's going on?"Elnora then approached, parting the crowd."You must take responsibility! Where are all our orders? We paid a deposit for the clothes we ordered, but we haven't received anything yet!""Yes, Miss. I even paid in full. The promise was to deliver a week ago, but I still haven't received it.""Miss, you have to compensate for all the losses we've suffered. Deceiver! Just close this boutique if you can't manage it!"Elnora clenc
Elnora furrowed her brow as a man who seemed to remind her of someone from her past appeared."Why does he look so much like...?"She squinted at her lover, who appeared very respectful."Remember! You have only one more chance.""Understood, sir!"Faintly, Elnora overheard a brief conversation between Victor and Zavier.Afterward, the middle-aged man left, leaving the place where Victor stood.Before her lover could re-enter his office, Elnora hurried down to stop him."Darling! Wait!"Victor turned, staring at the approaching lover. "Why are you here?"The man seemed unusual, making Elnora furrow her brow."Why do you say that? Can't I come to my lover's office?"He tried to calm himself.While Elnora just gazed at his face for a while."Forgive me. A new problem just arose. So, I..."Elnora shook her head, touching his hand as if signaling him not to continue."No, dear. I should apologize to you. I'm sorry. I can't understand you."Victor gently stroked his lover's hand. "Thank yo
"I made it for you."Xavier looked up to find the food now right in front of his face. A sweet smile welcomed him."The servants were busy today, so I took the initiative to prepare your meal."Certainly. The reason given by the woman was quite unreasonable. The house had plenty of servants, and their tasks were only to clean and prepare meals."Don't lie."Just two simple words, yet they managed to draw a long sigh from Audi. "Yes, sorry. I didn't mean to lie."Audi pursed her lips. She shouldn't have used that unreasonable excuse just to ensure Xavier would eat the food she made."For what?" Xavier raised an eyebrow.A wide smile then appeared on Audi's face. "You really like this. Maybe with this, you'll start to...""I don't remember you at all."Audi fell silent. It seemed the man had no intention of remembering her again.Gone were her hopes and spirits.Even the desire to eat with him had vanished."I'll call a servant. If you really don't want to eat it, I'll have them dispose
Audi opened his eyes at a knock on his bedroom door, which was getting more persistent. He furrowed his brow, unsure of the person behind the door. Before opening it, he glanced at his reflection in the mirror, almost as tall as himself.Traces of tears were still evident on both sides of his cheeks. She was indeed vulnerable when it came to Xavier and their memories. Audi then grabbed some powder from his dressing table, hoping to conceal the marks on his cheeks."Yeah, one moment." Audi turned the key, his expression drastically changing upon finding a middle-aged man, teary-eyed, outside."Uncle Zavi? Why are you sad, Uncle? What's wrong, Uncle?" Audi looked puzzled, holding both of the man's hands, trying to calm the distraught Zavier."Uncle Zavi, calm down. Take a deep breath and exhale. Repeat until you feel calm." She guided Zavier until his cries slowly subsided."Now, Uncle Zavi, tell me. What happened? Why do you look so panicked and scared?" Audi asked cautiously, not want
"Take a break!"Audi came in carrying a tray in her hands.Currently, Xavier looked as usual with his expressionless face observing the contents of the woman's room."If you don't remember, don't force yourself."Audi placed the tray in her hands right on the nightstand next to her bed.The woman then approached the man sitting on the edge of his bed, looking through the box of cardboard containing items from the past."All of this? Real?"Audi rolled her eyes. "Come on, like I'm joking!"The woman seemed to pout in annoyance. After tangible evidence was there, the man still considered it all just a fabrication."I just found out that all photos and writings can be fabricated. Even there, it's very clear how the photos are aging due to time."Xavier didn't respond. He was focused on all the photos there."Hey! Don't touch my photos alone!"Audi quickly snatched some photos that only contained herself. "Why?" Xavier asked with his usual expression."Well... you're only allowed to look
