Ayudia just listened, she did not comment, even she continued eating.
The video call ended after Assistant Benedict approached the man, saying that the meeting with his business colleagues would start in a few minutes.
Ayudia, who had finished her meal, rushed to her husband's study, pulling one of the books she had seen, as the key to the shelf beside the desk.
He entered the small room there, he found his bag, which contained the items he had been looking for all this time, a smile blooming on the pregnant woman's face.
Ayudia immediately came out of the room, she did not want to be caught by her husband's man, who was cleaning in the penthouse.
Two days passed, her husband had not returned, although almost every time, when the man finished his activities, he would contact Ayudia via video call.
The pregnant woman knew that the household assistant at her husband's penthouse had just completed a video call with her.
Ayudia rushed to change into warm clothes, she wore a sweater coated in brown Coat like she had seen one of the Korean drama actresses wear.
