"What do you mean, Keysa?" Audi stood right in front of her husband as if protecting Xavier from the fury of the woman who looked vengeful in front of him. "Are you now taking refuge by allowing your wife to be in your presence?" Keysa flashed a lopsided smile as she looked down at Xavier. Xavier then grasped Audi's hand gently making the woman then stare at him, the look in her eyes signaling him not to do what she was about to do. "No, Audi. I have my own problems to deal with." Audi shook her head trying to get him to stop what she wanted. "I don't want you to get hurt. She can do whatever she wants." Keysa seemed to roll her eyeballs lazily, for some reason she felt sick of the drama before her eyes. "You believe me, right?" Audi nodded with a forced look. "No need to worry, yes. Everything will be fine." Audi resigned, taking a few steps back entrusting everything to her husband. Xavier looked over to Keysa with his typical flat look. "I never interfered with her lif
"Don't you want to stay here a little longer? Mommy feels so happy when you stay here." Audi's mother seemed to be trying to persuade her son and daughter-in-law to stay longer in her house. However, Xavier's work that could not be left behind any longer made the man seem to turn to the middle-aged woman politely. "Sorry, Mom, next time, it looks like we can't stay longer at Mommy's house. There's some work that I really need to do as soon as possible. I'm sorry to have to decline Mommy's offer that I really appreciate." Xavier looked a little uncomfortable knowing his in-laws' request could not be fulfilled by his return. Aura of sadness and disappointment was clearly visible on the middle-aged woman's face, regretting the son-in-law who was unable to fulfill her request. "I can't force this situation either, Mom. Mommy, don't be sad like this. Xavier and I promised Mommy. If there is free time, Xavier and I will definitely stay at Mommy's house." Audi approached her mother an
Chapter 85Billy smiled at his friend who seemed to have a sour look on his face. "Are you going to keep it up, Xavier?" asked Billy with a small chuckle. "What do you want?! No more small talk." Billy threw more of his mocking laughter at the man. "I sent an email to this company three days ago but didn't get a response. So, I decided to come in person." "What email?" asked Xavier looking at his closely. "You can check it first." Billy invited. "No need to talk too much, you can say it in person." Billy then nodded his head in compliance with the man's request. He then took out the green folder in his bag, thrusting it right in front of Xavier. "It's not just about remembering the level of my company. Our friendship has also been established since many years ago. How about we tie up our companies together?" Billy began to explain his goals and desires to Xavier. "I am inviting Baxier's company to cooperate with my company." Xavier looked through the folder Billy had given
"This or this?" For who knows how many times, Audi kept repeating the same question by holding up two different dresses to show her husband. Xavier, who was tired of the question, looked reluctantly at the dresses shown by Audi. "Wear whatever you like and are comfortable wearing," Xavier broke off after a long time of having to hold back his emotions. The woman did not stop when all she had to do was choose a comfortable dress that she would wear for the duration of tonight's party. "Which suit are you going to wear? Uh not just a suit, everything." Xavier looked indifferent. He did not really care about appearance, Zeyn was his confidant to choose the clothes. "I don't know for sure. Zeyn will decide." Audi frowned unhappily at the answer given by her husband. "How come it's Zeyn anyway!" annoyed her pouting her lips."What's wrong with me asking Zeyn, who has been doing this for years, for help?" "Well, it's not wrong. He's used to being your fashion stylist. But, the conc
"Chika? How did you end up here?" Billy approached the woman still embraced by Xavier.He quickly pulled Chika's hand, urging her to descend from the altar, not wanting to draw attention from everyone present."Ugh! Bil! Seriously! My hand hurts, you know."Xavier, seizing the chance to distance himself from the woman, moved quickly towards Audi, whose emotions were now in turmoil."I beg you. Don't do this. You've misunderstood everything. I have no relationship with her."Honestly, Audi wanted to leave at that moment. However, recalling her recent return to her husband's mansion due to a misunderstanding made her abandon that intention.Although it hurt to see her husband in the arms of another woman, Audi had to remain resilient for now."I'm fine." Audi tried to force a small smile on her lips.It was challenging for her to do so, but she felt she had no other choice."Ugh! What's wrong with you, Bil? It hurts when you pull my hand like that." Chika protested, releasing her hand i
Audi came out while tidying up her pajamas. She also did her nightly skincare routine. "You're not mad at me anymore, are you?" Xavier stared at his wife's face intently, continuing to look at Audi until she lay down on his side. "Of course. Why would I be angry? I don't think there's any serious problem." Xavier let out a long sigh. From the way the woman spoke alone, it was clear how she was feeling right now. It was a common thing for Xavier if a woman would tell a lie or something that contradicted her words. Xavier tried to get closer to the woman, eroding the distance created between the two. "Honey." Audi looked misbehaving but as much as possible she had to restrain herself at that time. She could not be weakened just because of the man's gentle call of affection. "I'm sleepy. Tired. I want to rest quickly." Audi emphasized without turning her body even a little. Just as Audi insisted on continuing to maintain a sense of selfish indifference to Xavier's affectionat
Keysa stretched all the joints in her body. She didn't know what was happening, but Keysa felt that her whole body felt almost the same as fried chicken. Crushed, as if she had been wrestling or fighting for too long last night. "I'm really tired. Why does it feel like my whole body has just done strenuous activity?" Keysa tried to move more fluidly, opening both of her eyeballs wider. However, just as she was about to stretch her body more freely, something heavy rested on top of her. Her brow furrowed as her stomach seemed to be crushed by something she didn't know what. Slowly, her eyes began to open. "Billy?!" Keysa's tone of voice that sounded 2 octaves higher than usual instantly caught the man's attention as well. The look on his face looked annoyed because his deep sleep had to be disturbed due to the sound from the woman's mouth. "What's wrong, Key? Why are you yelling so early in the morning?" Billy ruffled his hair roughly, covering his mouth which seemed to be ya
"Hm... so you two were going to the office, huh?" Chika asked as she took a sip from the glass filled with orange juice that was served by the owner of the house. "Yes. Today is not a holiday. So, Audi and I were supposed to go to the office." Audi grasped Xavier's hand, signaling him not to say anything too harsh."It's okay, Chika. You don't need to listen to Xavier's words. Our work can still be taken care of later. Your coming here willingly is exactly what we should prioritize right now." Audi didn't want to hurt the woman's heart. It was evident from the look on her face that she was starting to get moody after hearing Xavier's sentence that sounded as if she didn't like her best friend from college. A thin smile also seemed to rise perfectly at the corners of Chika's lips. The woman looked happy because she was welcomed well by Audi. "Thank you very much, Audi. I understand. After all, all these years of being in the same circle of friends with Xavier, I've memorized every
