Honestly, from what I've observed, despite all his talk, he doesn't seem romantic at all. Antony, on the other hand, seems more romantic, even though he can be as cold as an ice block." Her mother's words made Altezza shoot her a sharp look. "But Antony already has Claire. And I really like Claire too. So, Antony is out of the question for you." She continued with a sad expression, but changed to cheerful in the next moment. "But Gian, even though he seems carefree, when he's serious about work, he's the romantic type. And I know he's also the type who appreciates younger women.“And about age, Gian is right, he suits you better since you're still young." Mrs. Quirino continued in a flat tone, ignoring Altezza, who had tensed up in his position."Don't worry about my son; he can find another woman. He says finding a girl is easy, just hold a contest or randomly pick a woman off the street; it's easy for him. He says many women want to be with him.“So, how about it? Do you want Gian?

Flashback on:"I sincerely apologize for my mother's impulsive actions. Actually, I planned to have an engagement ceremony next week after I returned from my business in Japan."You saw Yuriko earlier, right?" Adaline nodded. "She's my business partner. She asked me to design a new layout for renovating an old warehouse she wants to turn into a shelter."We've been working together for quite some time, and I feel embarrassed to refuse her request. Considering the Hideo family has been collaborating with Coskun Company and Quirino Corp. But my mom just caused chaos," he said, exasperatedly, at the end of his sentence."And my plan was also to get married a week after Antony's wedding, so our families would still be here altogether. So they wouldn't have to bother coming and going. But once again, Mom ruined the plan I carefully made," he complained again."What about Sir Antony? Will he be angry?"Altezza shook his head. The man chuckled instead, as if they were discussing something fu

On Friday after work, Adaline, her mother, and her aunt were picked up by a luxurious car that immediately took them to Quirino Ev. A beautiful receptionist even deliberately escorted them to the top floor of the hotel, where a Presidential Suite room was located. "Oh my God, Ada..." Emma exclaimed in amazement as they entered the room. "Is this a hotel or a palace? So luxurious. In all my life, this is the first time I've entered such a nice hotel," the middle-aged woman said as she walked into each room in the suite. Located on the top floor of the hotel with a beautiful view of the capital city, Adaline knew that this was not a cheap hotel. Even the hotel room had its own swimming pool that offered a beautiful view. Although Adaline had saved up money all her life, she would hesitate to spend it just to spend one night in this place. It would be better for her to use it to buy a house or even start a business. But now, considering her status as the prospective daughter-in-law o

"Triggered by what?" my mother asks back, her forehead creased, almost undoing the effects of the Botox she uses. "Triggered by the excitement of hearing her gentle voice," I say, causing my father to stifle a laugh while my mother appears to widen her eyes. Clearly, the woman who gave birth to me is surprised by my indecent words. But it doesn't end there because I continue my sentence. "Imagine being me. After days of restraining myself from thinking about and missing my future wife, suddenly I have to contact her to comfort her. Everything I've been holding back will come rushing back." "I can't hold myself back. And if my passion peaks because of all the erotic thoughts about my future wife, do you want me to spend my time in the bathroom and..." The words about to come out of my mouth are stopped by my mother's chubby hand. "Don't you dare speak like that, Altezza Quirino!" She growls without removing her hand from

Altezza lifted her head as she heard the bathroom door open and saw the petite figure emerge wearing an oversized black hotel bathrobe that draped down to her calves. "Isn't that supposed to be mine?" she asked, seeing Adaline looking around."Huh? Oh, um, that..." Adaline glanced around the room. "Have you seen a black totebag around here? I brought a change of clothes yesterday, and I kept the totebag in the bathroom cabinet. It was there this morning, but now it's gone." The girl spoke with a puzzled tone as she searched here and there, while Altezza furrowed her brow."Maybe it's in another room," Altezza suggested, walking toward the bathroom. "But could you take off the bathrobe for now? If you wear it, what will I wear?""Uh..." Adaline bit her lower lip in confusion. She couldn't just take it off without getting something in return. "Let me find my totebag first. Once I find it, I'll return the bathrobe." With that, the girl dashed out of the room in a hurry.It took Altezza o
