Replacing Lexi who chose to go smoking. He must stay away from Jessica who didn't like cigarette smoke. He went to the smoking area.There was only Daniel and Jessica there because Lexi was still in the toilet.“Daniel,” Jessica called again. She was nervous and didn't know how to start a conversation with her brother to ask the girl named Ninda.“Yes, what's wrong Jessica, do you want to order food again? Do you want a drink or do you want another snack?” Daniel offered, trying to guess what his sister wanted.Jessica shook her head slowly. "I just want to ask. Will Daniel answer any of my questions?” Jessica softly stole glances at her brother."Of course ask what you want to ask I will answer it if I can answer,” Daniel wanted a smile, a sign he would answer every ques

Lexi went to work as usual.Jessica was sitting on the veranda, waiting for her brother’s arrival. Yes, as promised, her brother would arrive at around 9:00 at their house. And they would continue the postponed conversation from the night before.The sound of the main gate opening was heard. A car slowly drove in, then stopped right in front of the veranda. In the next moment, Daniel’s figure was seen getting out of the car and approaching Jessica.“Have you been waiting for me since earlier?” Daniel greeted as he sat next to his younger sister.“Yes. I’ve been waiting for you since earlier. I’m really eager to hear the story about the girl named Ninda,” Jessica replied to the point. She rubbed her still-flat stomach.

192. Mistake.Chelsea had been busy in her room for almost 2 hours. She was confused about choosing an outfit for the event later that evening. After rummaging through her entire collection of clothes in the wardrobe, Chelsea finally settled on a navy dress adorned with lace. It was her best dress, which she would wear to the special event that night.Yes, it was a very special birthday party. Not because of whose birthday it was, but because the man who would accompany her to the party was Kak Daniel. Yes, Daniel Kim. The only man who made her heart flutter.Chelsea examined herself in the mirror, observing her reflection. She had finished applying nude lipstick and had curled her hair, giving her a different look from usual. Hopefully, this time Kak Daniel would take notice and see her.As per the last message sent by Kak Daniel, he would come to meet her at the party held at a 5-star restaurant.

193. You Belong to Me."What does Lexi want the most, hmm?"Jessica turned on the television and opened another pack of sunflower seeds, the fifth one. In three days, it would be her husband's birthday, and she still hadn't figured out what surprise she should give him. It seemed like a simple thing, but for Jessica , it was quite complicated.Unconsciously, Jessica fell asleep on the front sofa, the TV still on and the messy sunflower seed shells on the table. Normally, she would clean up the seed shells right away, but today, she was too focused on thinking about a surprise for Lexi that she forgot to clean them up.Lexi returned home late at night and smiled as he saw his wife once again asleep on the front sofa. He felt guilty for coming home late frequently these days. It was not without reason; Lexi had been working overtime to speed up his tasks and prepare everything related to Mr. Hendra's trial. Moreover, he was planning to take Jessica on a babymoon trip, a surprise that Je
194. An Unusual Morning.Chelsea opened her eyes. Slowly, she tried to regain full consciousness. The girl raised both hands, attempting to stretch her muscles. Then, she scanned the room with her sight. The room, the bed, and the objects around felt unfamiliar."Where am I?" she muttered, massaging her forehead, which still felt dizzy. Unconsciously, her hand touched someone's skin next to her.Oh no.Chelsea fell silent and held her breath.The next moment, she looked at the unfamiliar man who was sleeping beside her. The man was none other than David Kim, the younger brother of Daniel Kim, the man Chelsea had fallen for."Who are you, and why are you sleeping here?" she asked with a loud voice, still shocked and trying to piece together what had happened the night before."Why are you asking me? This is my room. I should be asking why you're here," David replied with a counter-question. He also had no recollection of what happened. He had come home drunk the previous night.Chel
195Title: Morning at Lexi's House.Jessica woke up earlier than usual. She went to the kitchen and hurriedly offered to help the older female servant and the other female servant who were cooking. For some reason, she really wanted to assist them in cooking because in 2 days, she would be going on a baby moon to Hawaii.The older female servant was cooking the main dish while the other female servant was helping peel and cut vegetables."Would you like a warm cup of chocolate, Miss Jessica?" Sometimes, Jessica would wake up early and ask for warm chocolate and snacks to consume in the morning before breakfast. After all, pregnant women often feel hungry in the morning."No, thank you. I'm here to help you prepare breakfast," Jessica replied, searching for a knife on the rack. She then chose to sit with the servants and help peel and cut the vegetables."Miss, Miss Jessica doesn't need to help us in the kitchen. Later, Mrs. Anna and Mr. Lexi will be angry if anything happens to you,"
196. Meeting of Mr. Kim and Mr. Hendra.Early in the morning, before heading to work with Jessica, Lexi immediately contacted Mr. Kim. He almost forgot to convey Mr. Hendra's wish for her grandfather, who is Jessica's grandfather, to meet him at the detention center."Dear, please sit for a moment. I need to make a phone call to grandpa!" Lexi instructed his wife, who was currently sitting beside him. He had heard complaints from Mama that Jessica often felt nauseous when she was alone at home. Today, Lexi would take Jessica with him to the office, hoping it would reduce the morning sickness she experienced in the first trimester."Okay," Jessica raised her finger.Then Lexi stepped out of the car, took his phone, and immediately made the phone call. In less than a minute, Mr. Kim answered the call."Hello," greeted the middle-aged man on the other end of the phone."Hello, Grandpa. It's me, Lexi. I'm sorry for calling you just now; I almost forgot," Lexi replied."Yes, tell me, what'
197.Title: Meeting with Mr. Kim 2As usual, Mr. Hendra spent his days in silence, only engaging in conversation when Ambon initiated it. However, when the young man sharing his confinement remained silent, Mr. Hendra chose to do the same.Suddenly, a prison guard arrived at the cell where Mr. Hendra was held. "Mr. Hendra," the guard politely called."Yes," Mr. Hendra replied, rising from his seat and approaching the man."Follow me for a moment, someone wants to meet you," he revealed."Alright," Mr. Hendra answered as the cell door opened. He stepped out and followed the prison guard.They walked in sync through the corridors, stopping at a secluded room at the far end. The room was very quiet, with only a table and a pair of chairs. A CCTV was placed in the corner, and the walls appeared neglected with peeling paint.Mr. Hendra composed himself and met the gaze of two men sitting there. "Wait, not just one person, but two are waiting for me," he thought."Mr. Hendra, you have 15 mi
