The tissue that was not far on the table was immediately grabbed by Ed Shane. The man threw back the food that was already in his mouth.His eyes closed feeling a great salty taste as if he was now stinging his tongue. He immediately took water and gulped it down in large quantities.Ivy noticed this clearly. Even the woman also brought a glass of water closer to her affair."What's good, Ivy?! It's too salty, try eating it yourself," said Ed Shane, who then shifted the box that was close to her.The woman took a piece of chicken katsu and ate it. One second, two seconds, three seconds until finally several seconds passed but there was no sign that Ivy felt the same way."It's really delicious, just right, not salty," said Ivy, who had finished eating a piece of the food.Sensing that there might be undissolved salt in one of the dishes, Ivy went back to eating another piece which she took later.Again, the taste of the chicken katsu that she tasted was very good, with the right taste
In his car, Ed Shane's eyes could not focus to keep looking at the street he was going to pass. He looked right and left, maybe he found Ivy after he lost her at a red light stop.His hands hit the steering wheel in frustration. He shouldn't have done this. It seems he broke his promise this time, even after he found out that the woman he was having an affair with was now pregnant.Eleven months ago, a female employee looked so diligent. Even though it was already nine in the evening, she was still in the restaurant and was seen wiping the table in the kitchen.Ed Shane, who thought that if there was no one in his restaurant anymore, intended to turn off the lights, but how surprised he was when he saw a woman who was in the kitchen and seemed to be still working."You ...." Before he could finish his sentence, the girl turned around.It seemed that the woman was also surprised by the presence of Ed Shane, who was suddenly alone in the kitchen with her.But even more surprised was Ed
Lilyana frowned after hearing Gladwin's answer. She didn't quite understand why it was Chris who came instead of Lucy.Without saying anything else, Lilyana immediately stepped away from the room. In the living room of the house sat a man as Gladwin had said."Chris, why are you here?"Lilyana walked closer to where the man was.Finding Lilyana already near him, the man immediately corrected his sitting position even though he was not in the wrong position."I have something to talk to you about, Lily." Chris said after the girl with ponytails sat down on the sofa right in front of him."What do you want to talk about, Chris?"Along with the question that came out of Lilyana's mouth, Chris found Gladwin who also came to the living room. This made Chris feel a little uncomfortable."Hm, can we talk outside?" asked Chris asking for it with a little discomfort.He immediately felt relieved when he saw Lilyana who nodded her head in agreement with his words. The woman also rose from her s
Night came and according to what Lilyana had planned, everything went smoothly. Before dinner time came, Ed Shane was home."Here's the towel, take a shower to make you fresher," said Lilyana with a gentle smile.This of course made Ed Shane feel a little awkward. There was something strange about his wife, Lilyana didn't seem the least bit angry with him."O--okay," said Ed Shane, who then entered the bathroom.He saw bottles of shampoo and soap that were still full as if they had just been replaced. The water heater in the bathroom is also on.Five minutes after cleaning himself, Ed Shane was stunned when he came out of the bathroom.His body, which was still wrapped in a thick white towel, walked closer to the side of the bed with a set of casual clothes already on it."Lily prepared this for me?" asked Ed Shane softly as he turned towards the closed bedroom door.He recalled some time ago, months ago when his wife was always serving him.Everything changed after Lilyana became pre
"I didn't decide for that, but he wanted it himself, Dad.""But you should have tried to stop him, Lily.""But I think it's useless, Dad." Lilyana said, wiping away the tears that kept flowing down her cheeks. "Even though Ed and I might eventually get back together, it just doesn't feel the same anymore."One thing was realized by the woman whose heart was now broken into pieces like a flower vase that breaks after being dropped by someone. Things that were originally beautiful are now scattered on the floor. Even if someone apologizes and tries to correct the mistake, the vase will not return to the way it was before, which looks so perfect.Likewise with Lilyana's heart and love for Ed Shane. The love that was originally beautiful and full of happiness was destroyed so badly."But I want you to be able to continue together until you are old." Gladwin said as he lowered his head."Then he has to choose me or her, I don't want Ivy to become a second wife."After hearing that answer,
Ed Shane's hand that was trying to caress Lilyana's body was immediately thrown away by the woman. She didn't want to get the slightest touch from her husband who had betrayed her.Her body came out from blanket she was hiding. Now they both stare at each other."Get out now Ed, get out!" shouted Lilyana while pointing towards the bedroom door.The two bloodshot eyes opened wide as the muscles in its neck tensed."What is it that keeps me here, Lily?" asked Ed Shane, who was trying to stay close to his wife."Choose me or her now!"Ed Shane was silent for a few moments. He really didn't know which decision to make. Now his love is no longer intact, now the love in his heart has been divided for two different people."I ... I can't, Lily."A pillow that was close to her was grabbed immediately. Lilyana tried to drive Ed Shane out of her room."Go, get out of here now, Ed. Go!!!"The man tried to avoid every blow made by his wife with the help of the pillow. Although in the end he was b
Their eyes met and stared at each other for a few seconds. Ed Shane was unable to see his mistress, who looked so sad, immediately hugged the woman."No, there's nothing wrong with you, Ivy. I'm just a little busier today you know?"It didn't take long for the hug to stretch again. Ed Shane held his lover's arms and looked at her sad face with wet eyes."You don't need to worry, nothing has changed from me to you and you haven't done anything wrong either.""You still love me right?" asked Ivy while holding back her sobs."Sure." Ed Shane answered quickly. "Of course I still love you, Ivy. Until then.""Promise not to leave me.""Promise."The two of them then linked their pinkies together, making promises to one another not to leave each other."But now I have to go to deliver the food, Honey."Ivy, who was calmer this time, finally nodded her head. "Okay, be careful.""Of course, you also take care of yourself and our baby."A smile appeared on both of their faces, accompanying the
The clock shows four o'clock in the afternoon. Judging from the CCTV monitoring around the restaurant, this afternoon the restaurant didn't seem too busy. There were only a few people waiting for orders to be taken away.Lilyana's eyes glanced sharply at Ed Shane who was still sitting in a chair, the woman then walked out and met her employees one by one and then asked them to meet her in the office."Don't think she already knows about her husband's affair," said one of them in a whisper after Lilyana walked away from her."Huh, will it affect our work too?" another said."Don't let it go, I'm already comfortable working here you know. I don't want to be expelled. Hopefully if someone is expelled it won't be me."At half past five in the afternoon, the restaurant temporarily closed to avoid any customers who might come in between talks.After everything was done as ordered by Lilyana, they all walked towards the office.In a room with an area of about ten square meters, Lilyana was s
"Who's Ed Shane?" asked Diana who was also looking in the same direction.The eyes of the two of them looked towards an old car moving from the parking lot of the cellphone shop."My husband," Lilyana answered briefly, her eyes still looking at the car."Maybe he wants to give you a cell phone," Diana said calmly.Lilyana nodded her head slowly. "Yes, maybe."While on his motorcycle, Chris also saw the same thing. In fact, he could see it more clearly.His eyes met with a pair of eyes that looked surprised when he saw him."Ed?" Chris whispered, he frowned. "Is he with Ivy?"He even almost hit Diana's car which was moving so slowly in front of him. Luckily, he immediately braked his motorbike to a stop.The three of them walked towards a cellphone shop that also provided cellphone repair services."Lily," Chris called softly.Lily turned around."I saw Ed Shane's car.""He wants to buy my birthday gift." Lilyana answered quickly.Although in her heart she also felt suspicious about wh
It was clear how Lilyana felt so annoyed with the woman after she apologized to her. Her eyes never glanced at Diana who was still standing not far from her bed."But it's not about your cell phone. I didn't know about that at all. I want to apologize to you because I slapped you this afternoon."This time Lilyana's eyes glanced slightly towards Diana. If it's true that Diana didn't know that Lilyana's cell phone had fallen, she would be very ashamed of what she said earlier."If you still don't believe it, go ahead, but you better not accuse other people like that. I also don't know whether you brought your cellphone or not, where you put the cellphone, I also don't know. Moreover, you also don't have the slightest evidence that I was the cause of your cellphone falling into the sink," Diana explained long, then walked towards her bed.She used the white blanket on the bed to cover her body from toe to chest. She didn't fall asleep immediately, but turned on her cellphone first.Whil
Lucy's words slowed down as she heard a shriek from a woman who was about three rooms away from her.Not only Lucy, Lilyana and Julia also approached the sound source. The three of them looked at the piece of paper taped to the side of the bedroom door."Diana ... Lilyana," Lucy said reading the text gently.The woman then turned to Diana who was still standing in the same place.She really did not accept this room choice. Her hands crossed in front of her chest, her eyes stared intently at Lilyana and Julia, not only that, her breath was also panting irregularly, depicting how annoyed her heart was."I don't want to share a room with her! I want to talk to the committee to change it!" annoyed, who then got up and walked with heavy footsteps.The commotion she created made the people around the passage speechless. They all watched as Diana was walking past them to meet the event organizers.The eyes of most of them followed where the woman went and in a few seconds, the alley that was
At least Chris could breathe a little easier after knowing that Lilyana really was. Especially after he heard the voices of two women in the toilet laughing together."I'm going back to the meeting room for lunch, do you want to come with me?"Chris shook his head. "I want to wait for the two of them to come out first.""Aw, but I don't know how long they'll be in there. Maybe the two of them will spend a little more time in there.""No problem, I'll still wait," Chris said in a cold tone without looking at Julia who was still standing in front of him.Hearing the answer from Chris actually made Julia's heart a little disappointed. Even though what she expected before saying the invitation was Chris who would return to the meeting room together with her. But what she got instead was a rejection."Okay, I'm going now," said Julia, who then stepped on her feet slowly.Not without reason, but Julia did deliberately move her feet so slowly. She even turned several times to where Chris was
Of course Lilyana felt so surprised by what Chris had said. The man had never looked so angry as he did before.Sweat beaded on the guy's temple which he quickly wiped away. His breath was also blowing roughly irregular."Chris, come on, this is just a game anyway." Lucy tried to calm him down."But she really admires me, if it's like this my life will be disrupted!" annoyed Chris."So what if she really likes you? She has also admired you for a long time. Imagine, since school days she has admired you but you never considered her and her feelings existed. She must be very happy to be able to express her feelings like that," explained Julia."Yes, I know, I know how painful it is to like someone without being able to approach him, but she shouldn't have expressed her feelings in front of many people like this. She can say it one-on-one with me, right?""Maybe everyone saw her courage in expressing her feelings. It's rare that a woman wants to express her feelings first, most of us can
"Huft."Ivy breathed heavily, she rolled her eyes expressing the annoyance in her heart."Why didn't you tell him last night?""I had intended to say it last night when I was at the restaurant, but I was confused about what to say to him, when I was thinking that the restaurant employee was calling me. Then I also thought of you, I was afraid you would wake up because you had previously forbidden me to leave," explained Ed Shane in detail."Then you blame me?!" annoyed Ivy."No, Ivy. It's not what you think. I mean I meant to say it last night, but I forgot because--""Because of me?" interrupted Ivy before Ed Shane could finish his sentence.There was a breath that was so heavy from Ed Shane. "No, Ivy, not because of you. It was the restaurant clerk who made me forget to tell Gladwin last night."Ivy was silent hearing Ed Shane's explanation, the woman got up from her seat and then walked towards the balcony of the room.The morning view looks so beautiful. The sun shone in the easte
The corn dog in Ed Shane's hand still had half left. The man took a sip of the cola in a can he kept next to him."You never want to understand, Ivy. I told you, things are different now.""Then tell me who do you choose? Me or her?"Ed Shane breathed again. He put the corn dog on the package.His eyes stared into a pair of hazel eyes in front of him. A pair of adorable little eyes."Of course I choose you, Ivy. You have succeeded in making my wish come true, while she did not. Of course I chose you, Honey," Ed Shane explained gently while continuing to rub her head."Then leave her," Ivy insisted.Ed Shane's strokes of the girl's head stopped. He stared into the pair of eyes in front of him."I can't," Ed Shane said softly as he removed his hand from Ivy's head."Why, Honey?""I can't do that, Ivy," Ed Shane insisted.Ivy shifted her seat to face Ed Shane completely. "Why can't you do it? Tell me, do you still love her?"Actually, Ed Shane didn't have the heart to say it in front of
"Sssttt ...." Lucy put her index finger near her lips, she was annoyed with Julia. "Don't say it out loud, other people can hear it!"The three then glanced at Lilyana who seemed to lower her head. She looked embarrassed when the news was heard by other people let alone her own school friends."Y--yes," Lilyana said while nodding her head.Actually Chris felt sorry for the woman. "If you don't want to talk about it, there's no need to answer, Lily."The woman raised her head again, which a few seconds ago continued to look down. Her eyebrows furrowed as her eyes looked where Chris was."All that is true, what is there to hide? Nothing." Lilyana said firmly, even though her eyes couldn't lie."They said ... you still employ that employee?" asked Julia next, looking still very excited.Again Lilyana nodded her head, this time with a firmer motion. "Yeah, how do you know? It seems you know a lot about that.""Why don't you just kick her out, Lily?""She also needs a job." That uncomforta
"Hahahaha," Lucy chuckled at Ivy's response.She thought the woman was very funny because she had been silent all along and when she mentioned Ed Shane and Lilyana she immediately responded."Are you that curious?""Of course, Lucy. Say it quickly!"Lucy smiled as she glanced at Ivy who was sitting next to her. "On the twentieth there will be my school reunion. You can be alone with Ed Shane for the rest of the day since the reunion runs from eight in the morning until the same time. It's up to you who you go on a date with, but one thing for sure is that tomorrow you'll have to pay me after what you promised."Ivy was silent to hear the explanation from Lucy. A good news but not good at the same time."Why is the reunion taking so long?" Ivy asked, trying to change the subject."Because later there will be many events throughout the whole day. Many of our that want the reunion to go on for a long time, they want to say goodbye to their friends and also ... their ex-lover maybe?"***
