2024-10-29 19:42:56"Jav, it's already 9am. Let's get up! I'll make you breakfast." The sound of a woman's voice woke Javier up instantly. After the voice stopped, the sound of footsteps was heard and slowly disappeared from inside his room.
"I always wake up late, I should have gotten up earlier and helped Blaire clean the house," Javier mumbled as he stretched his body and got out of bed.
Javier left his room and went to the kitchen, when he entered the kitchen, he could see Blaire's body from behind. His wife was busy chopping vegetables for their breakfast, Javier smiled at how beautiful his wife looked despite the shabby clothes she was wearing. Javier thought that his wife didn't deserve this kind of life because before marrying him, Blaire's life is different from the life she lives now.
Blaire came from a rich family, unlike Javier who was poor and didn't have any wealth. He didn't even have a job, but Blaire never questioned that. Blaire accompanied him and chose to live like this with him, so Javier loved his wife very much and continued to try to change their lives.
"Why are you just standing there? Just sit down and wait until the food is ready." Blaire's voice broke Javier's reverie.
"No, I'll help you." Javier walked over and was about to help his wife but Blaire immediately shook her head, refusing.
"No need! I can cook myself," Blaire said as she gently pushed Javier away.
"You always don't want help." Javier sighed, he kept looking at his wife and somehow every day he kept feeling lucky to have Blaire in his life. Blaire always took good care of him as a wife, but Javier didn't take good care of Blaire as a husband.
"I suddenly felt ashamed for always failing to give him a happy life." Blaire turned her head and noticed the change in expression on her husband's face.
"What's with that expression, Jav? Are you angry that I didn't let you help me?" Javier didn't answer and hugged Blaire from behind while hiding his face in his wife's neck.
"I always feel useless," Javier muttered.
"I've even failed at getting a job." Blaire released Javier's embrace and turned his body around, looking into his husband's eyes with a smile.
"That doesn't mean you're useless, Jav," Blaire said, making Javier slowly smile at his wife's words. Thinking about work, Blaire remembered something and instantly the smile on his face disappeared. She became a little anxious but tried to hide it from her husband.
"Javier," Blaire called suddenly, feeling that she had to speak to Javier directly. Javier looked back at him and waited for Blaire to continue.
"How about you ask my mom to give you a job?" Blaire's suggestion didn't sit well with Javier. He knew very well that Blaire's family never liked him, even though he was adopted by the family but they always treated Javier badly.
"My mom might help you get a job." Blaire was still trying to persuade Javier even though he knew that Javier didn't like his idea. That's because he had no choice and Javier had to get a job as soon as possible.
Javier sighed as he lowered his head, he didn't want to but this was what his wife wanted.
"Do you want us to separate, Jav? I'm afraid my mom will force us to divorce and I'll marry the rich man they want. Do you want that to happen?" Blaire didn't want to threaten Javier but Blaire did this so Javier would ask his mother for a job.
"Of course I don't want that to happen, Blaire!"
"Fine. I'll go to your mom's house and ask her for a job." Javier gave in and finally did what Blaire wanted him to do. And Blaire was relieved that Javier finally agreed, one of the reasons Blaire forced Javier was because she was pregnant and she didn't want to part with Javier when they were about to have a child.
She had not told Javier about her pregnancy, she intended to tell him at the right time and now seemed like the right time.
"Jav, I actually wanted to say that..."
"It's still 9 o'clock, right? I'll go now to your mom's house. She doesn't go to work at this hour yet." Javier cut Blaire off and walked away in a hurry.
"I'll go now, Blaire."
"But you haven't had breakfast yet and… I'm not done talking." Javier didn't listen to her, he had already walked out of the house and stopped a taxi. Blaire sighed as she kept her eyes on her door.
"Maybe I'll tell him later and hopefully mom will give Javier a job," Blaire muttered and went back to cooking.
Meanwhile, Javier was already on his way in a taxi to Blaire's parents' house. It wasn't too far and 10 minutes later he was in front of Blaire's parents' house.
"I'm not sure she'll give me a job, she's been refusing to give me a job since the beginning but because of Blaire, I'm going to ask her again." Javier had asked Blaire's parents for a job before, but they had insulted him. Javier didn't tell Blaire about that, if Blaire knew, his wife probably wouldn't have told him to ask her mom for a job again.
Javier walked into the house and met one of the servants.
"Is Mrs. Anne here?" asked Javier, the servant looked worried.
"She is, but she's having breakfast." Everyone knew that Javier's existence was never welcome in this family, he was adopted by this family but never treated like family. Especially when Javier married Blaire, Blaire's parents hated Javier even more.
"I'll let Madame know you're coming." The waitress trotted off to the dining room, but Javier decided to follow her rather than wait.
"Who's coming? Gosh, it's still early." Javier could hear his mother-in-law's voice as he got closer to the dining room.
The waitress was about to tell her but Javier had already walked over and his mother-in-law could see him coming. Her expression changed to annoyance, Anne didn't like seeing Javier's arrival.
"What are you doing here? It's early in the morning and you're already bothering me," Anne asked sarcastically.
"You don't have a job and you're bothering other people, how annoying." Javier tried not to listen to Anne, he clenched his fists tightly and held back his emotions. He kept smiling and being polite.
"I'm sorry, mom. I came here right away because I knew that you hadn't gone to work yet so I wanted to talk to you for a while." Anne snorted in annoyance and continued eating her breakfast.
"Hurry up and tell me! I don't have much time because I'm busy! I have to catch up with my husband at the office."
"It's about work, mom. I just found out that Blaire is pregnant and once again, I'm asking for your help to get me a job," Javier pleaded this time. Even though he lost his pride, it was for Blaire and his unborn child. He knew that Blaire was pregnant that's why he kept thinking about work lately.
"I'll do any job!" Hearing Javier's words, Anne laughed mockingly.
"I already told you that I don't have a job for someone like you." Anne looked at Javier's shabby appearance with disgust.
"You're not fit to work in any position therefore no one will hire you."
"But I have to work, mom. I can't go on like this after finding out Blaire is pregnant," Javier continued to plead even though he had been insulted. He kept thinking about Blaire and his unborn child.
"I don't care about Blaire's pregnancy, it would be better if you guys divorced as soon as possible."
“I wonder why Blaire would want to marry someone like you when even the world is forced to accept you.” Javier completely lost control of his emotions when he heard Anne's words.
"Mom, please. I love Blaire so much that I'm asking you.”
“Your love is useless! You're giving my daughter a hard time because of your miserable life. Now go away, you're bothering me," Anne shooed Javier away.
"Okay, I'm sorry, mom. But please, give me a job if you have one and please call me." His mother-in-law seemed intent on not listening to him and Javier knew that she wouldn't give him a job.
Javier finally said goodbye and walked out of the house. He was so confused, he was ashamed to go home because Blaire would be very disappointed to know that Javier had failed to ask his mother for a job.
"I'm out of money, I can't take a taxi home anymore."
"It's sad, I'm so useless and now Blaire has to continue living a miserable life like me." She stood beside the road daydreaming.
Until suddenly his cell phone rang, he took it from his pocket and saw an unfamiliar number appear on his phone screen.
"Whose number is this? I've never called this number," Javier muttered in confusion. He rejected the call without knowing who the mysterious person was who was calling him and keeping secrets about him.

"I have to go home soon, Blaire will be waiting for me. I have to tell Blaire about this no matter what;" Javier said, he was about to walk home because he didn't have the money to take a taxi."It's not that far anyway, I can walk." However, his cell phone rang again and someone called him again. Javier had to check it again and thought that the strange number was calling him again."Oh, it's not that strange number..." His sister-in-law's name appeared on his phone screen, Blaire's older sister Bella. Javier was a little confused because Blaire's family never contacted him. He kind of hoped that they would bring good news when they called him."Did mom tell Bella and this time she's going to give me a job?" Javier wondered with excitement. He quickly picked up the phone for fear that his sister-in-law would be waiting a long time."Hello, how are you, Bella? I'm surprised that you called me!" Javier said as he picked up the phone."Did mom tell you I was coming?" Javier asked again.

"I told you not to take him roughly!" the old man shouted again, Javier continued to stare at him in confusion."They all bowed to him, those scary men didn't even dare to look at the old man or reply to him.""Who exactly is this old man?" Javier wondered again. He was the only one looking at the old man."And why did he scold them?" Javier found it strange that he was the one kidnapped but the old man didn't do anything bad to him, instead he scolded the man who brought him here."You told them to bring me here?" Javier finally got the courage to ask and the old man finally looked at him. At first Javier was afraid that the man would scold him too or do something bad, but the man smiled when he heard Javier's question.The old man sat in front of Javier in a very polite manner as if Javier was someone he respected."What's with this old man? Strange man," Javier muttered."That's right, sir. I told them to bring you here, but I should have told them to be polite and nice to you," th

"But why am I the last surviving heir of the Linford family?" Javier asked."Because no one else can be the heir of your family, Mr. Joshua and Mrs. Carol passed away long ago and you are their only heir. Don't you want to take what is already yours, sir?" Javier was silent for a while, if he was indeed the last heir of the Linford family, that meant he had to take back what was his."Of course I have to take it back," Javier replied."So you're going to do it?" With a slight hesitation, Javier nodded his head. This was his chance to make Blaire and his son happy, then take what was already his. "That's great, sir! I'm glad that you're finally back and willing to take it back. I've prepared everything for you, so you just have to worry about nothing else," Adam said, Javier could only nod and this time he listened to what Adam was saying seriously."I'm going to introduce you as the young Mr. Linford and you're going to be the man in charge of this town after all these years of the

Blaire quickly hung up the phone and Javier sat down next to Blaire. Javier took his wife's hand and held it tightly, he smiled and kissed her cheek briefly."When did you arrive? Why didn't you call me?" His expression looked worried, Blaire was probably afraid that Javier would be hurt by what his mother had said."I heard you on the phone with your mom earlier, Blaire," Javier said."Ah you don't have to listen to mom! I'm sorry I couldn't get her to stop saying bad things about you." Blaire looked guilty, even though it was her mom's fault."No, honey. It's not your fault. Your mom is right, but I'm not going to let you go or divorce you." Javier smiled as he gently stroked Blaire's cheek, Blaire smiled too, they both loved each other so much but the Watsons always tried to keep them apart."And about y

The day of the declaration arrived, Blaire was nervous and fearful of the outcome of her bid. Javier noticed this, he walked over to his wife and took her hand. Javier smiled at his wife, trying to calm her down."I know you must be nervous and afraid that this plan won't work out, but don't worry, Blaire," Javier said to Blaire, but Blaire still looked nervous."Of course I'm scared, I don't want to be separated from you, Jav! What if....""Blaire, do you trust me?" Blaire nodded his head, he trusted Javier but he couldn't get rid of his fear."Then don't be afraid, I won't leave you. I'll take care of all this, so you just need to shut up and trust me, do you understand?" Sighing, Blaire nodded her head again."Yes, I understand and I will trust you with everything," she replied."Now let's get everything ready, your family will be here any minute." Blaire went to the kitchen to make a meal for her family while they were at her house.Soon, the doorbell rang, the Watsons had arrived

Her mother and sister-in-law had left an hour later, and Javier, who had just dropped them off at the front of the house, had been detained by Blaire. The expression on his wife's face had been worried since their conversation."What's wrong, Blaire? What are you thinking?" Javier asked. Blaire lifted his head and looked at Javier."Why are you so sure of what you're saying? Aren't you afraid of losing me, Jav?" Javier smiled and realized his wife's anxiety."Of course I don't want to lose you...""Then why did you dare to make that bet with my family? You even agreed to let me marry Mr. Albert," Blaire cut him off, seeing that he was really scared that it would happen."Blaire, I did all of this for you. You just have to trust me and see what happens." This was the second time Javier had to calm Blaire down like this and he could only continue to make Blaire believe him about his plan."Okay..." Blaire sighed and nodded his head. Javier looked at the clock on his hand, and he had som

Jay left Javier's room after receiving orders, he went down to the lobby and saw that Albert was still waiting with an annoyed look on his face. Albert immediately got up from his seat when he saw Jay's arrival."What took you so long? I've been waiting for this!" he shouted angrily as he kept waiting for almost half an hour to meet Jay."I'm sorry, sir. Our new CEO just arrived earlier so I had to meet him first." Jay's words made Albert furrow his brow in confusion."If he just arrived, that means he came at the same time as me. But I didn't see him..." he muttered to himself, he only met Javier earlier and he never thought that Javier was the new CEO of the company."Then let me meet your new CEO, I'll talk about the offer. Hurry up and take me to his office!" She asked haughtily but Jay didn't follow her request."I'm sorry, but about the offer we've already discussed it with the other bosses and it's confidential," Jay replied and Albert just chuckled."I will make you a big prof

However, he still didn't want to lose the Watsons' trust in him."What's the misunderstanding? It was announced directly by a representative of the Ford Group!" shouted Anne, the middle-aged woman looking absolutely furious."Mom, calm down." Blaire who saw it all tried to calm things down, she approached her mother but her mother immediately brushed Blaire's hand away."Why is it that none of my plans ever work out? Blaire, you've made my life complicated and now you." Anne gave Albert a contemptuous look, very different from the look she usually gave Albert. It made Albert upset, he didn't like being treated this low by Anne."I'm doing everything I can but I'm working with a loser like you," Anne insinuated Albert again."Loser? Hey, watch your mouth! If I hadn't helped you all this time, you wouldn't have gotten anything." Irritated, Albert sho

"Yes, she's still here. But you can't see her," Anne said, surprising Javier. Of course, he was immediately angry because his mother-in-law suddenly wouldn't let him meet his own wife. Although Blaire was her daughter, they had no right to forbid Blaire and Javier from meeting."What do you mean, mom? Why can't I see her?" asked Javier, not understanding and Anne casually shrugged her shoulders as she continued to look at Javier sarcastically."You should realize the reason why I won't let you meet Blaire. I knew from the beginning that I shouldn't have allowed you two to get married, you're a sneaky guy who only took advantage of Blaire coming from a rich family and now that Blaire is willing to live in poverty with you, you're looking for another woman from another rich family, right?" Javier couldn't understand what Anne was talking about. He didn't think he had made a mistake and now suddenly Anne was saying something about Javier looking for another rich family woman."Wait... I

Later that night, Javier went to the airport after getting ready at the hotel. His flight time was at 10pm and he would arrive at 12pm in his city. Of course he did all this for Blaire's sake, he knew that something had happened to his wife because until now Blaire hadn't returned his messages and that made Javier even more worried."Sir, do I need to send someone to go to the Watsons' house and check on her?" Jay asked when they had just taken their seats on the plane. It was because Javier looked very worried and Jay felt that he had to calm his boss down."No, there's no need," Javier replied with a sigh. He couldn't possibly agree to what Jay had said earlier because it would be very risky. The Watsons would be suspicious of him and there was no way he would have anyone come check on Blaire in the middle of the night like this.Jay finally just nodded his head and sat on the chair next to Javier. "When I arrive, I'll go straight to the Watsons' house. Is it okay if I take your car

I know you're not okay that's why you called Mr. Jay, right?""Don't lie to me, something must have happened to you, right? I'm going home now then." Javier intended to end his meeting with Chloe and look for a flight right now."No, don't just leave your job, Jav. I-I'm totally fine," Blaire replied immediately in reply to Javier's words because she was afraid that Javier was really going home just because something happened to Blaire.Javier sighed, he knew that Blaire was lying just because he didn't want Javier to go home early and leave his job.

Because it looked like Chloe was going to replace Chris at this meeting."Have you been waiting for me for long?
