199. Chelsea 2Late at night, after returning from a celebration at the Atmaja family's house, Chelsea couldn't sleep. She remained awake, staring at the ceiling of her room. She chose to sleep in a corner, leaning against the wall.She wondered if this was a sign that she shouldn't have feelings for Daniel. She had just experienced falling in love with him, but she felt the need to bury her emotions deep within. Chelsea wanted to move forward, executing plans to win Daniel's heart. However, she feared the day Daniel would find out about what happened with David that night.Usually, when she had problems she couldn't handle, Chelsea would confide in her mom, or she would share with Jessica and find a way out together. But this time, she couldn't even tell Jessica because it involved her two older brothers, and it was impossible to discuss it with Bagas. It would also be too embarrassing to reveal to her friends that she was no longer a virgin.Chelsea grimaced at her reflection. She w
200. Abandoning the Plan.Mrs. Anna was sitting in the living room of the Atmaja family residence. Since last night, she had been contemplating and couldn't bear to leave Arsene to handle everything alone. This morning, she decided not to join Lexi and Jessica on their vacation to Hawaii.However, she felt guilty about it. One of them, either her or Lexi, had to stay home. It wouldn't be fair to leave everything to Arsene, especially when Ronald was currently off the island.Moreover, later in the day, the First Hearing of Mr. Hendra's case would take place. Even though Mr. Kim and his two grandsons would continue to oversee the case until the end of the trial, Mrs. Anna still felt the need to be at home. At least, if something happened with Arsene, she could be there to help."Lexi, it seems Mama can't join you on your vacation to Hawaii. Mama will stay home," Mrs. Anna said, looking at Lexi, who was relaxing and enjoying his hot coffee."Why did Mama suddenly say you don't want to g
201.Mr. Arman and Mr. Kim seemed to have entered the car, and Mr. Arman's car started moving first towards the courthouse. Meanwhile, Chelsea and David were still silent, standing side by side without saying a word.This time, Chelsea was able to control all the feelings and emotions swirling inside her heart. However, David couldn't shake off the conversation with his brother from last night; it bothered him. How could his brother consider his actions as something bad and call him a despicable man? He couldn't accept it. Despicable men force themselves on others, but did he forget what happened that night?David snorted in frustration. Remembering his brother's words, guilt suddenly crept in, dominating his heart.Chelsea didn't object and immediately got into the car, choosing to sit in the back to avoid being too close to David."Wait, who told you to sit in the back? You're not my grandfather, and I'm not your driver. Sit here, next to me!" David commanded. Either way, he and Che
202.Chelsea and David were now inside the car. Seeing Chelsea remaining silent and uninterested in conversing, David pulled over to a quiet spot, intending to talk to her.Chelsea seemed indifferent to whatever David was doing, as she continued to focus on her phone screen."Are you just going to keep silent with me?" David asked, his face showing frustration at Chelsea's behavior. He felt accused and unsure of what to do."What do we need to talk about, David?" Chelsea retorted, returning the question. For a moment, she diverted her attention from her phone to the young man sitting beside her.With his right hand, David caressed his face, feeling lost about what to do. Chelsea's gaze revealed her inner worries. How could he make her not feel hurt or offended by intending to compensate for what happened that night?"Chelsea, let's talk about it here. This is about what's been troubling my mind," David admitted with his head bowed."Sure, just tell me, David. I'll listen," she replied
203.Chelsea descended the stairs slowly, reassuring herself that everything would be fine. Her attraction and curiosity about her best friend's older brother were still burning.She went to her parents to bid farewell. Bu Hani and Pak Arman were in the living room enjoying snacks while watching TV."Pa, Ma, I'm going out for a while," she said as she shook their hands."That's better. Don't stay in your room all the time. Do you need Pak Joko to pick you up?" Bu Hani asked, not wanting a repeat of the incident when Chelsea had to stay at her friend's house due to being drunk."No, Mom, he's coming to pick me up," she declined. She sat down for a moment, realizing there was no point in going out right now. Daniel hadn't arrived in front of her house yet."Is he a special friend?" Bu Hani probed. Until the age of 18, Chelsea had never introduced any of her boyfriends to her mom. Either she didn't have a boyfriend or she hadn't wanted to introduce anyone to her parents. Bu Hani and Pak
204.David took his time in the car, trying to make sense of his feelings. He decided to stay at his brother's apartment for the first time in days. Tonight, he chose to stay with his grandfather instead. David drove the car further away than usual, heading to a villa owned by Tuan Kim at the peak of Bogor.In the villa's garage next to the main building, David stopped the car and hesitated to get out. He was trying to interrogate his own heart. Why was he even thinking so much about Chelsea? In the past 24 hours, her name kept lingering in his mind whenever he was awake.There was one thing David hid from Chelsea all this time—what happened that night. Actually, David remembered it clearly. He recalled entering his room and finding a seductive woman lying on his soft bed. Despite being drunk, he was still conscious enough to feel aroused.He remembered enjoying every part of the woman's body, and Chelsea didn't even refuse. Both of them desired it. He indulged himself in the pleasur
205. Lexi Jessica.Lexi had already booked a dinner reservation. However, as they were still waiting, he decided to unpack his luggage. Among the pile of clothes, he found what he was looking for—a wide smile formed on his lips as he grabbed the piece of fabric.It was a red lace evening gown, with a daring open front. The material was thin and translucent, making it irresistibly alluring. He saw no harm in bringing this beautiful red dress for his wife, Jessica, especially since she had been dressing rather conservatively in front of him lately. Yes, she looked beautiful in her usual attire, but he couldn't deny his desire to see her in a sexy evening gown.Lexi approached Jessica, who was still lying on the bed, her face buried in the pillow as she had just woken up."Darling," Lexi called softly."Yes," his wife responded, lifting her head from the pillow. Their eyes met, and Jessica was puzzled by the strange expression on Lexi's face."Go and get ready!" Lexi commanded, extending
Chapter 206 enChelsea's Intention.Meeting Daniel was something very important in Chelsea's life for now. She didn't know how many times she has chosen and changed clothes and finally, she chose a light blue dress that she tried on for the first time.White flat shoes and also a matching color sling bag, were chosen to complete her look this time. She didn't forget to get permission from her mom. Then Chelsea walked out of the house, she wanted to wait for Daniel while sitting on the front porch.It didn't take long, about 10 minutes to wait. Daniel's black car slowly approached and stopped in front of the gate of his house .Chelsea got up from her seat and immediately approached the car.When the girl approached. Daniel got out of the car. He opened the door for Chelsea. Then he sat back behind the wheel."Chelsea don't forget to buckle up!”"Okay," Chelsea answered. She fastened her seat belt and prepared to leave with Daniel.Then Daniel started the car engine and then ran it a
