A/n: Happy Valentine's Day everyone... And to my parents happy 25th anniversary! 😊 Finally! You have been wedded in a church. Though that means I have to conserve my remaining money.. 🤣... To my parents and my lovable reader I love you guys! Thanks for the support!

"Wake up, little girl. You sure didn't want to miss Dr. Shelly right?" Joseph said.

Sheen rub her eye and stared at her jolly father. Why do she felt that this past few weeks since they came to province her father are more excited than her to see Dr. Shelly? Joseph's think otherwise, the more his little girl interact with Dr. Shelly the more chance of early recovery.

"Papa, I'm still sleepy,"

"What are you saying? Wake up! It's already late in the morning,"

Sheen look at the clock and find that it was just four in the morning. She glared at her father and walk out the room, dragging her new teddy bear that was given by her grandma yesterday.

"Hey little girl. Where are you going?"

"Sheen will go to mumu (grandma). Papa is bad, he made me sleep late while talking to Dr. Pretty," she snap.

"Eh?" Before Joseph could said another thing, his daughter already made her way to the her grandparents room.

"Your father use you again isn't he?" Her grandfather chuckles looking at the poor little girl. Sheen nods and snuggle herself between the two elders who laugh at their cute granddaughter.

She wear pajamas with printed teddy bears all over it.

"Mother, father. Sorry, Sheen interrupted your sleep again," Joseph whisper trying to pick his daughter but Sheen only tighten her hug around her grandma's waist.

"Let her be. It's just in a while," mumu say with a warm smile gazing down at the little girl in her arms. Joseph sigh and gaze the little girl again before heading back to his room. Now, he regretted that he brought her to his parents house. His parents surely steal the attention of his daughter away from him.

Scratching the back of his head, Joseph lay down to his bed and sleep more. His attention now are all on his daughter, thinking only for her welfare. This male lead completely forgotten his supposed female lead.

        The years later, without the presence of Andrea and with the help of Joseph's parents, the changes in Sheen can be seen. She talks a lot and laugh a lot again like she used to be. Joseph finally felt relief and ready to go back to his business.

"Ugh! Finally my brother will come back! I can live again as lazy as before!" Jonathan sigh.

"Yes. What are the things I need to know?"

Jonathan's happy go lucky face turn serious.

"Aside from all the ventures and common problem. I can handle all of them, the one thing I hate is your secretary,"

"What about her?" he inquire.

Jonathan sigh and shiver when he remembers that woman's deed. Thinking about those makes the hair in his skin stand.

"That woman tries to seduce me every time she had. Jeez, bro! I know I'm more handsome than you but she's not my kind of woman,"

"Then replace her. If she question, tell her it's my order," he said coldly.

"You still love her, do you? Freda," Jonathan said with a sigh.

Joseph's smile but didn't reach to his eyes.

"I really can't hide anything from you, did I?"

Jonathan laugh at the other side. "So, you're coming to my wedding?"

He sigh and look at him. "With your laziness. I really pity your future wife,"

"Well. She loves to spoil me and I just love being pampered by her,"

Joseph took a deep breath and laugh sarcastically. "I really pity Dr. Shelly,"

Jonathan grinned proudly.
