As Sylvie and Kage left for work the following morning, she found him unusually cold. He wasn't looking at her

face ams barely talked to her. He didn't look anything like the guy she'd cried to the previous day- the sone

that'd offered her a drink, showed concern. He looked as though, they've been strangers for quite sometime...

The few times she tried starting a conversation, he answered casually and let it run cold. Eventually, she got

tired mad stopped trying.

It shouldn't bother her if he was being cold or not. But perhaps, she just missed the old him a little.

Hours later, Sylvie checked for Kage in his office. They were supposed to go out for a meeting, it's been more

than thirty minutes already, and he still hadn't reached out to her. Nefther had he called or demanded anything

of her that morning. It was strange. Reaching his office, his secretary told him he'd stepped out.

"Oh, do you know if he'll be back soon?" She asked, glancing at her wristwatch.

"Sorry, | don | don't. But it's been a while now since he left. Probably, he should be back soon." Bobbing her

head, Sylvie returned to to her

She tried calling, but her wouldn't take his ice and waited. But an hour later, Kage was still not back. The

meeting was important. Even if he had plans of cancelling it, shouldn't he have told her about it at least?

Kage had been in the office when he got a call from Lana, crying and asking him to cover. She was at her

parent's mansion, so he had to hurry over, thinking something must've happened with the baby. But when he

reached there, the baby was fine. Turned out she had a bad dream that she lost the child and was scared.

On a normal day, Kage would've lost it on her for pulling him out of the office over a mere dream, but he

concluded it had to do with the hormones, and the last thing he wanted was act uncaring in times like this. he

"Thank you for coming over, Kage," she spoke softly, her head on his chest as he cradled her. "I know you're

busy, but I just.... I'm scared of doing this on my own.

"I understand. It's nothing." he sighed.

"You know, | really can't wait for the wedding. When we finally married and start living together, | think Hi feel

safer."

He said nothing.

"Can you stay around while | sleep? I'd love to spend more twith you when | wake up."

Kage nodded, kissing her forehead. Her eyes closed briefly.

Kage had every reason to leave after she fell asleep. H wasn't the type to fulfill a sleeping woman's wish of

staying behind. But somehow, when Lana's mother had cin and offered to see a movie with him, he couldn't

Chapter 61

He sat there in the living room with her, barely touching his pop and drinks, and definitely not paying any

attention to the movie. Instead, his mind dragged him to a certain lady, someone he wished he didn't have to

think of. How does he handle two pregnant women, by the way? This was definitely not the way he'd planned his

life at twenty-seven. Married - yes. But not expecting three babies in a year.

Perhaps, if only Marilyn was around, she'd have known what to do. She was always so good with words.

A small smile found his lips at the memories of her. He pushed them down, not wanting to think of her on a day

like this.

Sylvie's countenance was down for the rest of the day, not just because Kage didn't get back to the office, but

because he didn't take any of her calls and wouldn't get back to her either.

At the close of work, she was in the garage, heading toward her car when someone approached her. Oh, not just

someone Kage's aunts. Oh, God.

"There she is," Elizabeth chuckled, hastening her steps. "We've been waiting for you."

Sylvie tried to ignore them, hurrying to her car. She dipped her hand into her bag, frantically searching for her

The second woman - Diane - gripped her wrist, stopping her movement. "Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it

Sylvie looked up at her and wished she could really be away. "Please, 1...1 don't want any trouble. | just wanna

She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. Her heart twisted in painful knots as she remembered what they said

to her back at the house.

The woman released her wrist, then glanced down at the floor. "With the look of things, you're still carrying those

b**rds around. Did you consider our words a joke to you, Sylvie? You thought busy people like us would come

together to simply have lunch with you?" Sylvie was silent, her eyes darting away.

"Stay away f from my nephew, you daughter of a whore!" Elizabeth stepped closer. "We're warning you." "Stop c
