“Is all your stuff ready?”
Edward asked once again, ensuring that Julia hadn’t forgotten anything she needed for Milan and Rome.
“Yes, Darling. You don’t need to worry. Clara helped me pack everything neatly and thoroughly. I’ve double-checked twice already. I don’t think we’ve left anything behind.”
Julia then waved for Edward to come closer to her sitting on the edge of the bed. When he stood in front of her, she pulled him down until he was seated. In one swift move, Julia shifted positions and suddenly found herself straddling her husband.
“Julia!” Edward was certainly surprised. Though he knew Julia liked to act impulsively, he didn’t anticipate his wife making him lie down like this.
“I’ll definitely miss you a lot.”
Julia drew closer to his face. Instead of responding to Edward’s protesting question due to his surprise, she whispered directly into his ear. She even kissed him, teasingly darting her wet tongue. This action sent shivers down Edward’s spine. “What about you? Will you miss me later?”
Then, Julia lifted her face slightly. She stared at Edward expectantly, waiting for his answer.
“What kind of question is that? Of course, I’ll miss you.”
Julia smiled. She leaned in to briefly kiss Edward’s lips. But feeling unsatisfied, she repeatedly nibbled on both of his lips alternately. Occasionally biting down until her husband was flustered.
“Just imagine, we’ll be separated for some time,” Julia said teasingly after releasing her kiss. “By God, I’ll surely miss the times when we spent time making love.”
Mischievously, Julia intentionally teased Edward. She brought her hand to caress her husband’s body. Slowly descending and stopping at a certain place before squeezing what Edward had neatly wrapped in his trousers.
“Julia.” Edward reproached again, intending to stop his wife’s actions. After all, Edward was a normal man. If he was teased incessantly, eventually, he would give in. “Don’t be like this. You’re leaving soon, aren’t you?”
Julia nodded.
“I know.” Bringing her hand again, slipping through the unzipped zipper, she reached for something that had been hidden there since earlier. “I just want to make sure that what I’m holding doesn’t come out, let alone play around where it shouldn’t.”
Edward swallowed hard. Julia’s recent statement sounded like a jab.
“Stop your nonsense. What are you really talking about?”
“Just consider it a request.”
Seeing Edward’s stiff face, Julia laughed. She withdrew her hand from his trousers and kissed her husband deeply.
“Moreover…” Julia continued. “I just want to make sure, Darling. While I’m away, you won’t misbehave, will you?”
Edward nodded.
“Of course not. Whenever you’re gone, have I ever misbehaved?”
“Luckily, no.”
Julia then got off Edward’s body. Standing up, she tidied her hair.
“I must go downstairs.”
“Are you sure you don’t want me to accompany you?”
Julia shook her head. From the beginning, she didn’t expect her husband to accompany her to the airport.
“No need. Aaron will pick me up. Besides, it’s Sunday. Usually, you’ll go horseback riding or shooting. So, it’s better to just get ready.”
Edward didn’t reply. He chose to go downstairs together with Julia instead.
“Don’t you want breakfast first?”
Julia shook her head. Just a few seconds later, Aaron was already seen waiting outside.
“Aaron’s here. I’m leaving now. I’ll let you know when I’ve arrived in Milan.”
“Take care.”
“Of course. See you in two weeks.”
Edward escorted Julia outside. After making sure his wife had left, he decided to have breakfast.
Almost 30 minutes of enjoying his meal, Edward didn’t see Bella at all. Usually, she would come down for exercise or simply to have breakfast in the dining room.
“Clara,” Edward called out at that moment.
“Yes, Sir.”
“Where’s Bella? Did she have breakfast?”
Clara nodded.
“Miss Bella already had her breakfast. Earlier, I escorted her directly to her room.”
Edward’s brow furrowed.
“Eating in her room?”
Clara nodded again.
“Yes, Sir.”
“Is she unwell?”
“She just complained of feeling unwell. That’s why I suggested she rest in her room.”
Edward nodded his head. Waving, he asked Clara to continue her work.
After finishing his meal, Edward decided to head to his office. For a moment, he checked the report Axel had sent, and shortly after, Edward received a message from Julia.
Julia: I’m about to leave.
Edward: Take care. Let me know when you’ve arrived.
Then, Edward continued his previous activities. Exactly one hour later, Julia appeared to be contacting him. This time, she initiated a video call.
“Darling… I’ve arrived in Milan.”
From the phone screen, Edward could see many people passing behind Julia. From the scene he captured, it was certain that his wife had arrived at Malpensa International Airport in Milan.
“Thank goodness you’ve arrived. Are you heading to the hotel next?”
Julia nodded.
“Yes. I have to go to the hotel first to drop off my stuff. After that, I’ll go to the Cosmix building for the photoshoot. Well, I have to go now. I’ll call you again later.”
Believing that Julia had indeed arrived in Milan, Italy, Edward finished his work. He then decided to visit Bella in her room. He had been waiting for these moments for several days. Finally, he could relieve his longing after struggling to connect for so long.
With big steps, Edward went to Bella’s room. Impatiently, he knocked on the door of the beautiful woman’s room repeatedly until it was finally opened.
“Bella, I really miss you.”
Instead of responding to Edward’s longing, Bella remained silent. Without inviting him in, she closed the door again and locked her room tightly. Of course, this action left Edward confused.

“Happy to see you here.”
Santiago greeted Julia enthusiastically. He immediately ushered the beautiful woman into the presidential suite that had been booked for the two of them during their stay in Milan, Italy.
“Are you happy?”
Santiago nodded with a smile.
“Not just happy. I even want to have fun with you right away.”
Julia smiled broadly. Just by giving her body to Santiago, she could get what she wanted.
“Wait… I’ll take a quick shower. After that, you can enjoy my body.”
Santiago shook his head. Instead of letting Julia clean herself first, he impatiently pulled her onto the bed.
“No… I want you to entertain me now. After that, we can shower together as usual.”
“It’s still daytime, Santiago. Why are you so impatient?”
“Maybe because I’m already crazy about you.”
“So, do you want it now? What about tonight?”
“Of course, it will continue. Haven’t we always spent time together at all times? Don’t worry, this afternoon I’ll take you shopping for whatever you want.”
Julia laughed. Granting Santiago’s request, she served him gladly. As much as possible, she made the 50-year-old man happy and satisfied. So he wouldn’t stray and continue to be infatuated with her.
For some reason, Julia enjoyed being with Santiago. Besides giving her many gifts, he knew how to win her heart and pamper her.
As proof, when evening came, Santiago fulfilled his promise to take her shopping. He let Julia buy whatever she wanted. Even when tired, Santiago also took Julia to dinner at a five-star restaurant. Because of all these facilities, Julia never objected to what Santiago wanted from her.
“Cheers!”
Julia and Santiago toasted each other. While enjoying a romantic dinner, they seemed so intimate.
“How was your first day here?” Santiago inquired.
“Of course, it was enjoyable. Anything with you, I’ll feel happy and content.”
Santiago laughed heartily at Julia’s honest and sincere confession.
“You’re sweet, Julia. I love spending time with you. Especially since you’re so good at making me satisfied in bed.”
“Me too. It’s so enjoyable to keep being with you like this.”
Julia smiled brightly. After finishing their meal, she affectionately linked arms with Santiago as they left the restaurant and headed towards the car. Passing through the lobby, Julia’s steps suddenly halted. From the corner of her eye, she spotted the dangerous figure she wanted to avoid the most. Kairos!
