Wife on Strike Chapter 87: A Day of Laughter
After leaving the plantation, Kelsey looked at the time on the dashboard.She smiled softly. "I finished earlier than I expected."From the back seat, Kendrick immediately raised his little head."Are we going now, Mummy?"Kelsey looked at him through the rearview mirror."Yes."His eyes lit up."Yay!"He clapped happily, making Kelsey laugh despite everything weighing on her mind. Her little boy really loved to play.She drove toward the amusement park....Almost forty minutes later...The moment the colorful entrance came into view, Kendrick pressed his little face against the window."Mummy! Look!" Kendrick said, looking around. "There are so many rides! And balloons! And ice cream!"His excitement filled the entire car.Kelsey parked the car before getting out. She walked around, opened Kendrick's door and unfastened his seat belt.The little boy jumped down immediately and grabbed her hand tightly.Kelsey frowned slightly at his excitement. To her, it was just an amusement park
Wife on Strike Chapter 86: The Face in the Photograph
The moment Kelsey walked out of the front door, she took a deep breath.The conversation with Ramon still weighed heavily on her heart, but she pushed it aside.It was still early. She couldn't allow her emotions to weigh her down. She had too much to do today.Just then, the front door opened."Mummy!"Kendrick came running toward her, his little backpack bouncing behind him.Janet hurried after him."Young Master, slow down," she called anxiously.But Kendrick had already reached Kelsey. He wrapped his little arms around her waist."Let's go!"Kelsey smiled and gently pinched his cheek. "Someone seems very excited.""Yes!" Kendrick grinned. "We're going out together. Not with Daddy this time."Kelsey crouched to his height."But before the amusement park, Mummy has somewhere to go first."Kendrick blinked."Work?""Yes.""Will it take long?""I'll finish as quickly as I can."Kendrick nodded seriously."I'll wait."Kelsey smiled. "That's my boy."Kelsey didn't plan to stay long at t
Wife on Strike Chapter 85: A Sorry That Meant Nothing
Ramon's words hung quietly in the dining room."I'm sorry."Kelsey looked at him for several long seconds. There wasn't the slightest change in her expression."Sorry?" She repeated the word slowly, as though tasting how meaningless it sounded.Kelsey folded her arms across her chest and looked straight into his eyes."What exactly are you apologizing for, Ramon?"He opened his mouth, but she didn't give him the chance to answer."Is it because you finally found out that your precious Wanda was the one who drugged you?" Her voice remained calm, but every word carried years of pain. "The same person you accused me of being.""She and I had nothing going on," Ramon corrected immediately. "Wanda was never precious to me."But Kelsey didn't care."Do you remember that day?" She nodded to herself. "I'm sure you do, but I'll remind you just in case you don't."She paused before continuing."You looked at me as if I was the most disgusting woman alive. You never even gave me a chance to expl
Wife on Strike Chapter 84: The First Apology
When they arrived home, Ramon carried the sleeping boy upstairs while Kelsey quietly followed behind.After making sure Kendrick was sleeping peacefully, she wished him goodnight with a gentle kiss on his forehead before returning to her room.She closed the door behind her.Ramon stood outside for a long moment. He wanted to knock. He wanted to talk to her.In the end...He turned around and walked away.Some conversations couldn't happen that night....The next morning...Sunlight streamed through the curtains, filling the bedroom with a warm glow.Kelsey frowned slightly in her sleep.She slowly opened her eyes and blinked several times before turning to look at the clock on the bedside table.The moment she saw the time, her eyes widened."Oh goodness..."She quickly sat up. "It's this late already?"She had overslept.That had never happened before.She usually woke up much earlier, but today she had slept far longer than usual. Maybe everything that had happened yesterday had f
Wife on Strike Chapter 83: The Quiet Journey Home
Nearly thirty minutes later...The mansion remained unusually quiet.The servants moved carefully through the hallways, afraid to make too much noise.Ramon stood by the living room window, staring outside without really seeing anything.His thoughts remained upstairs.Just then, soft footsteps came from the staircase.Everyone instinctively looked up.Kelsey was coming downstairs with Kendrick.The little boy held her hand tightly, while his other hand clutched his favorite toy car.The moment he reached the last step, he looked around."Grandpa." He smiled at Collins and hurried over to him. "Why is everyone so quiet?"Kelsey looked at her innocent son and quietly clenched her teeth.She hated that Kendrick had once been so close to Wanda.He had trusted her completely.But at the same time, she felt grateful that from now on, Kendrick would grow up under her care.If he had continued growing up under Wanda's influence, he would have become spoiled and irresponsible.It was obvious
Wife on Strike Chapter 82: The Weight of Truth
Silence swallowed the dining room even after Wanda was long gone.No one moved or spoke.The only sound left was Kelsey’s quiet sobbing as she remained squatting on the floor.Her shoulders shook uncontrollably.Ramon stood a few steps away from her, his hands still clenched into fists. He wanted to comfort her, but he was afraid. He didn’t want her to be more angry.The entire room was still trying to recover from what had just happened.Finally, Collins broke the silence.“She actually did it.”His voice was low, almost absent-minded.“I still can’t believe it.”Venus lowered herself into her chair weakly. Her face was pale. Today had been one hit after another for her, and she really wanted to call it a day.“It doesn’t make sense,” she shook her head slowly. “Wanda… actually drugged your drink.”She paused.“And she even used Kendrick…”She couldn’t finish the sentence. The image from the security footage refused to leave her mind.Doris remained seated without saying a word.Her
Wife on Strike Chapter 11: Nowhere to Go
Kelsey’s eyes widened slightly in surprise the moment she recognized the man sitting inside the car.It was Mr Rowland.The same man from the hospital.He still looked calm and powerful, dressed in a dark suit that made his cold appearance even more intimidating.“We meet again,” he said calmly.Ke
Wife on Strike Chapter 10: The Credit Card
By the time Kelsey returned to the Ivory Mansion, the sky had already turned dark. The gates slowly opened for the taxi she arrived in. She stepped out quietly, holding the shopping bags in both hands. The driver placed the remaining bags beside her before driving away. Kelsey stood there for a
Wife on Strike Chapter 7: The Real Kelsey
The same day, Kelsey left the house for the hospital, not to have her wound checked but to see her father.Her father, Tony Morgan, suffered a stroke barely a year after her marriage to Ramon. Kelsey had only visited once back then. She didn’t know his current condition, but she was certain that he
Wife on Strike Chapter 6: Awakening
The next morning… Kelsey slowly opened her eyes. A sharp pain shot through her head, making her shut them again immediately. Her brows tightened as she let out a soft groan. Everything felt heavy… her body, her thoughts… even her breathing. She was still lost when the door suddenly opened.
