Chapter 39: Choosing Herself.

Saturday morning arrived quietly.

Sunlight slipped through the curtains and settled across Kelsey's bed.

She opened her eyes slowly and stared at the ceiling. For a long moment, she didn't move.

Today was the weekend. The weekend she was supposed to spend with Kendrick.

A few days ago, she had been looking forward to it.

Now...

Kelsey slowly turned her head and looked at her phone on the bedside table.

After a while, she stood up, walked to the bathr

  • 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 5: The Fall.

    Kelsey stepped out of her room after changing into the dress. The soft fabric brushed gently against her skin as she carefully held the side of the gown, afraid she might accidentally step on it. For a moment, she stood quietly outside her door. It had been a very long time since she dressed up

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 3: She Almost Killed Him

    Kelsey fell hard to the floor, her palm scraping painfully against the marble tiles.Her cheek burned badly from the two slaps Doris had given her, and before she could even recover, another harsh voice rang through the living room.“How dare you come back here after what you did to Kendrick?!”Kel

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 2: The Mother They Refused to See

    Kelsey had almost reached their table when Ramon came rushing back into the shop like a storm.He brushed past her without even looking at her and immediately knelt in front of Kendrick.“Kendrick, look at me,” Ramon said worriedly while checking his condition.The little boy was still struggling t
