"You said what, Kayla? Of course, I love you very much. How could I choose another woman when my wife already has the complete package," Adam said, trying to smile so that Kayla wouldn't suspect anything.

"Darling, where did you get the address of my apartment? This apartment was supposed to be a surprise gift for my birthday, but you knew about it first." Adam led his wife to the bed, holding Kayla's hand tightly.

"Darling, I'm sorry for ruining your surprise event. Actually, I got the address of this apartment from one of your subordinates, Kenzo. He mentioned that you were here, so I hurriedly came. I'm sorry for messing up the surprise," Kayla said as she wrapped her arms around Adam's neck, overflowing with longing after not seeing him for several months. "We only have one year left before our partnership contract ends, I'm sorry, but I assure you that I will always visit you."

"I will always support whatever decisions and things you like, Darling," Adam said as he lovingly stroked Kayla's hair. However, something felt different this time, Adam felt unhappy realizing that there was only one year left before Kayla would end their partnership contract.

"Darling, why didn't you call me if you were coming? I could have picked you up at the airport, you must be very tired," Adam asked, wanting to ensure the sudden reason for Kayla's arrival in Indonesia, especially since this was the first time Kayla hadn't informed him beforehand.

"I actually had planned to return to Indonesia, but after our argument, I hadn't had the chance to tell you. I also felt something was off. It's been a long time since we last met, I'm sorry, because of chasing my career, I forgot that my husband is here," explained Kayla.

"You don't need to worry, I'm fine here, and I will always support your career, Kayla." Adam hugged his wife tightly, trying to provide warmth even though there was a strange feeling in his heart. Although Adam still loved Kayla, there was a different feeling this time.

"One thing I can't get from other men is your support. Although we were supposed to enjoy a honeymoon together after this partnership contract ends, I promise we will start a family by having children, at least enjoy our time together," Kayla said sincerely.

Adam could only smile, even though he was eagerly anticipating the presence of a child from their relationship. He longed for the moment of holding a baby born from Kayla's womb and still had ambitions to achieve success in his career as a famous painter. Adam didn't want to limit Kayla in pursuing her dreams.

"You must be very tired, no need to overthink," Adam said as he took the bag and bouquet of flowers from Kayla, instructing her to freshen up. Adam almost forgot about Selina's presence, who was still hiding behind the bed column.

In a hurry, Adam pulled back the thick blanket and asked Selina to come out of hiding. "Quickly come out, Selina. I will meet you in the parking lot. You just need to get into the car I've prepared," Adam said softly, almost whispering.

Gently nudged, Selina was urged to come out before Kayla emerged from the bathroom. Adam closed the door slowly while Selina stood at the closed door, listening to Kayla's sweet voice in her ear. There was a strange pang of jealousy in Selina's heart as she watched Kayla, but she realized that she was only a mistress and should not harbor feelings for Adam.

"I shouldn't expect too much, just focus on your life. The contract also states that there is no room for feelings for Adam," Selina said to herself.

Meanwhile, inside the luxurious apartment, the sound of long-suppressed intimacy could be heard.

Overflowing with longing after not meeting for several months, Selina remained silent in her place as Kenzo opened the back door of the car, waiting outside. "Why didn't you call me first if Mrs. Kayla was coming here?" Selina asked, puzzled.

"I couldn't stop Mrs. Kayla, especially when she insisted on me telling her Mr. Adam's apartment address," explained Kenzo, looking uncomfortable for suddenly bringing Mrs. Kayla to Mr. Adam's apartment.

"Please get in, Miss. I was asked to take Miss Selina away from here," Kenzo said again, instructing Selina to get into the car without delay.

"It's better, Miss, to always be vigilant even though Mr. Adam has provided you with many guards," added Kenzo, warning Selina as she entered the car.

The sudden words from Secretary Kenzo made Selina feel uneasy. How could such words come from a secretary who was also Mr. Adam's right-hand man, someone who should understand her complicated position in this situation? Besides the medical expenses issue, Selina would never accept Mr. Adam's offer of a one-year contract as his mistress. Just a few days into her new status, Selina already felt suffocated every time she met Adam, having to find ways to avoid being discovered by others. When Selina was in Adam's apartment, she was fortunate to be able to hide and listen clearly to Kayla's beautiful voice declaring her love for her husband.

"Darling, you should rest, let me make the coffee," Kayla said, holding her husband's hand after their passionate encounter after several months. Kayla always felt satisfied with her husband's gentle treatment. With a somewhat innocent demeanor, Kayla walked down from the bed to make hot coffee.

"No need, Kayla. Let me do it; you must be very tired," Adam said.

"Who says I'm tired? This is just for you, and besides, we haven't talked in a long time. Usually, we're busy when we call each other, so I want to take advantage of this time to be with you, even if it's just for a few days in Indonesia," Kayla said as she stroked her husband's hair, with Adam's face resting on Kayla's shoulder.

"I'll take a shower first, Darling," Adam said.

Kayla smiled as Adam's thin mustache touched her cheek. "Darling, don't forget to bring a towel to the bathroom."

After Kayla finished making coffee, she saw Adam enter the bathroom without a towel. With initiative, Kayla took a towel from the wardrobe, but her hand suddenly stopped when she saw a pink hair tie.

"Why is there a woman's hair tie here?"
