What exactly happened?
“May I accompany Jessica to see the doctor?” Mrs. Anna asked enthusiastically. Hearing that Jessica might be pregnant, she felt very happy. It’s really like a dream.
“Yes,” Jessica answered.
“No,” Lexi answered.
“Mom, let Lexi and Jessica see the doctor alone, we both wait at home. Wait and pray for the good of our grandchildren” Mr. Samuel said. Sometimes resentful of the attitude of his wife who always wanted to interfere in the affairs of his son.
“Okay, dad. I am better at home. I don’t want to go to the doctor, but when you’re done checking, you have to call me,” Mrs Anna asked hopefully.
“Yes, mom, I will call you as soon as I finish and come out of the doctor room.” Jessica smiled, the pregnancy was not only herself and Lexi who looked happy, but also Mrs. Anna and Mr. Samuel were also very happy and looking forward to it.
“Mom, dad, this Saturday I have a plan. I will invite some company employees and some of the closest clients to come to our house. I want to tell them that Jessica and I are married. And I also want to announce my wife’s pregnancy. Will Mom and dad help me to prepare?” Lexi asked.
“Of course, I will help you, I will prepare for that event and you can leave everything to me. Lexi you just focus on keeping your wife’s pregnancy, don’t let anything happen. This is Jessica’s first pregnancy. Do you understand?” Mrs. Anna said. A smiling face adorns her lips, implying how happy the woman felt that time. Her desire, her dream to get a grandchild as the heir of Ricardo Group would soon become a reality.
“Yes, Mom. Jessica and I are leaving now.” Lexi stood up from his seat which was immediately followed by Jessica. They immediately went to see dr. Sam. Their personal family doctor.

Ronald just walked into Lexi’. There was only the secretary there, while the 30-year-old widower was not in his office.
“Mr. Lexi didn’t come to work today?” Ronald asked. He just found out about the death of Jessica’s parents. According to Lexi’s orders, he would tell him soon.
“Yes, he called yesterday to clear all his work schedules today,” Arsene said. If Ronald came this early, he must have something important to say. “Is there any new information regarding Miss Jessica’s family?” right now that was the most important issue that Mr. Lexi was focusing on.
“Yes, you’re right, there is important information about it,” Ronald said, since the humorous man always showed his serious face.
“What is that information?” Arsene’s impatience, Ronald’s unusual facial expression, managed to make him very curious.
“Yes, this is probably just a bit of information. But I got it from a valid source. I met the police who first came to see the scene of the accident. The police are also in charge of a single accident that occurred twelve years ago,” Ronald said a little doubt. What he would convey was only a little information and still needed a lot more investigation to reveal everything.
“What did the police say?” Arsene swallowed. He focused on waiting for an answer from the man who was currently standing in front of him. It was only then that he realized that he hadn’t told Ronald to sit down.
“Police said the vehicle involved in the 2010 crash was not Darren Kim’s. The BMW 320i, which suffered a single accident, is a car belonging to the Ricardo family. I’m not prejudiced, but this prejudice fills my brain. Could that be the reason Daniel Kim didn’t approve of the boss’s relationship with Miss Jessica?” Ronald, who had only been looking for and giving information, was stuck in his job. Information about the accident of a married couple of the Kim family greatly disturbed him.
“Don’t think too far ahead, I’ll pass it on to Mr. Lexi. Regarding the vehicle, I will ask Mr. Lexi directly. Now you rest, and don’t tell this to Mrs. Anna or Mr. Samuel. You see, don’t do anything until you get a word from Mr. Lexi.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Ronald came out of Lexi’s office. Now there’s only Arsene there. His co-worker was right, too. If the vehicle that had an accident at that time was a vehicle belonging to the Ricardo family. Could Ricardo’s family have been involved in the accident?
Arsene grabbed his phone. Even though he had to tell Lexi, he didn’t want to bother him. It’s hard to call him. This important information should be communicated immediately. Yes, in order to quickly find the answer to such a complex puzzle.
Call’s on.
“What is it?” It’s like listening to a phone call from Arsene.
“There’s something I want to say, ” Arsene said as well as Ronald, he also could not wait to convey this to Lexi.
“After work, we’ll meet at home!” Lexi replied.
“Good sir, I’ll be there!”
“Ok.”
Lexi ended the phone call.

“Who’s calling?” Jessica turned to her husband who was sitting next to her.
“Arsene,” Lexi said. He attentively fastened the seat belt for his wife, then his own. “Where are we going then?” Lexi offered. He wanted to take Jessica for a walk. However, he was also afraid that his wife was exhausted.
“Let’s go home, doctor Sham said I should rest a lot and should not be exhausted. So, I’m better off at home!” Jessica said.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Well, dear, let’s go home!” Lexi started his car and immediately drove his four-wheeled vehicle out of the parking area.
They didn’t talk much on the way home. Even Jessica fell asleep. Naturally, because last night she was awake until midnight and in the morning she woke up at four in the morning.
When she got home, Lexi didn’t wake her up. He brought his sleeping wife into the room.
Mrs. Anna waited for Lexi who came into the room. She couldn’t wait to hear about Jessica’s pregnancy. A couple of times, Lexi didn’t come out of her room.
A bright smile appeared to adorn Mrs. Anna’s face, as her son walked out of the room. “Here quickly!” she whispered with her right hand hinting that Lexi should follow her walking towards the back garden.
“Is Jessica really pregnant?” Mrs. Anna asked, still in a whisper.
“Yes mom, Jessica is really pregnant!” Lexi said.
“I’m so happy for you, Lexi. What we need to make Thanksgiving seven days and seven nights! I’m going to have to wait for Sandy, Arvel’s father, to come here. He will be happy to hear this news.” Mrs. Anna was in an excellent mood and fiery enthusiasm.
“Whatever you want, mom,” Lexi said. “I need to check my phone, Mom. I’m going to my office!” Lexi stepped out of her seat.
“Wait,” Mrs. Anna, who was busy wiping her phone screen, stopped him.
“About Mama’s grandchild, is it a boy or girl? oh yes, do we need to buy baby clothes now?” His mom showed how impatiently waiting for the birth of her grandchild.
“Mom! The future baby is only 5 weeks old.” Lexi continued his steps.
At afternoon.
“Lexi,” Mrs. Anna called, forced to interrupt her son and daughter-in-law who were sitting and chatting in the back garden.
“Yes, Mom.”
“Arsene has come, you get used to it. Already did not leave for work today and added to Arsene’s work by asking him to come home!” Mrs. Anna protested. She felt that her son was exploiting the competent secretary too much.
“Mom, I’ll see you soon.” Lexi just responded with a nagging smile from his mom. “It’s a pity I met Arsene first, yes,” Lexi said.
“Yes, dear, say hello to Secretary Arsene from me,” Jessica asked.
“Okay!” Lexi left Jessica and her mom in the back garden while he walked out to meet Arsene.
Lexi stepped past the dining room, family room, and living room. Just got to the terrace of the house, there Arsene was sitting and waiting for him.
“Sorry to bother you,” Arsene said.
“Don’t bother, what made you come here?” Lexi asked, if it’s not the important thing. Namely, the Secretary is unlikely to come home like this especially outside of work.
“This is about the accident of a couple from the Kim Family, the vehicle involved in the accident is registered to be one of the vehicles belonging to the Ricardo family, ” Arsene explained, he could see a surprised expression on the face of the boss.
Silence.
Not only Lexi, Arsene also had a bad feeling that was almost the same as what was in Lexi’s mind.
“Then, what should I do now?” His lips trembled, and his brain became deadlocked. What exactly happened?
“For the time being, I will seek as much information as possible about the incident, from the media and witnesses who saw it firsthand!” Arsene said. Questioning Mr. Samuel and Mrs. Anna was easier and both did have to explain why it all happened? However, what if both parents did not want to explain or deliberately cover it up?
“No need, don’t waste time. Let me do it! You focus on the construction of city parks. Isn’t it suspicious? Daniel Kim gave it up.” He said with a still breath and pain in his chest.. Lexi stood up from his seat. “Go home! I’ll figure it out myself!” The man went into the house and just left Arsene.
