"Oh. Hemm.. from a friend. It's been a long time," Lily replied with a smile.
After that, there was no more conversation as Lily returned her focus to the highway. Until a few minutes later they arrived at their destination. Luckily, the rain had stopped.
"Thank you, ma'am. Sorry for the trouble," said the driver who felt embarrassed.
"You're welcome, sir. It's a disaster, we never know," replied Lily who immediately handed the car keys to the middle-aged man.
Farel, who looked exhausted from a day of playing, immediately excused himself to his room. Leaving his mom and dad who were still in the main doorway.
"Keenan!" called Lily as her cold husband walked towards the stairs. Keenan turned his head without making a sound at all. Waiting for what the woman was about to say. "Does anyone want t
"Mommy? Why are you standing there?" The voice just now made Lily gasp. She smiled. "Can I come in, dear?"Farel nodded quickly. "That's fine. Daddy was just about to read a storybook to me, wasn't he?" Keenan muttered softly while flipping through the book in his hand. Lily, on the other hand, kept her cheerful face as much as possible. One thing that made her wonder. Why did Farel's scared face that she saw earlier turn into this?"Mom, come here!" whined Farel who already looked ready in his sleeping position."I-yeah." Lily shifted her body a little closer to her son's right side. Meanwhile, Keenan was opposite her. There was no more talking when her husband started reading a storybook. Flat and uninitiated. That was what Lily judged from the way Keenan told the story. However, she did not hear any protest from Farel. The boy just smiled while resting his head on his daddy's arm. It didn't take lon
Keenan's sharp eyes made Dimas nod in understanding. The man then resumed eating without another word."Your cooking is delicious. Thank you," said Dimas who had published his smile. Lily only responded to his words with a small nod. Afterward, she went with the servants to the kitchen. Now only Farel and the two adult men were left in the dining room."Hi, handsome boy! We haven't had a chance to get acquainted yet, have we?" Dimas opened the conversation first after the three agreed to move to the living room.Farel nodded with a smile. "My name is Farel.""Yes, you know. Have you been to school?" Dimas asked later. And that's how their conversation continued. Dimas, who was good at creating an atmosphere,
The words just now made everyone wonder. However, Keenan still kept his mouth shut. He didn't want to explain what he would do later."Honey, today mom has a morning class. So I can't take you to the front," Lily said to her baby. "You'll obey Jum.""Yes, Mom," Farel replied obediently.Meanwhile, Keenan, who had just arrived at the main door, frowned when he saw her in her work clothes. He was about to make a sound but first glanced at Farel. "You go in first. I want to talk to your mommy.""Do you want to take Mommy?" asked Farel after kissing the back of their hands in turn. Keenan only replied with a smile. Then gave a demanding look for his son to immediately go into the house. Afterward, he looked at Lily sarcastically."
The decision had already been made. Keenan had said that Asih would have to leave the residence tomorrow morning. So now the misunderstanding had been cleared up. However, Lily still looked uneasy."What's wrong?" asked Keenan who had just come out of the bathroom. The scent of his body was very strong. Not to mention only wearing a bathrobe that revealed the fine hairs around his chest. Making his wife immediately bow her head."I-I'm going to Farel's room first. Later," said Lily who immediately excused herself from the room. Because of the unpleasant incident a few days ago. Farel had complained that he was afraid of being harmed."Should I stay with my grandma and grandpa? I don't want to be here," whined Farel who had hugged his mama tightly."Honey, I'm sorry. Everything is already settl
"Keenan!" Lily just stood there as she saw Lisna had buried herself in her husband's body. She didn't know whether to be angry or how to deal with the sweet-mouthed seductress.Keenan groaned softly. One hand tried to push away Lisna who was still clinging like a caterpillar. "Get away!""I came here because I was worried about you. How the hell?" croaked Lisna who was annoyed. Before she could hear Keenan's reply, the person she was waiting for finally showed up. A middle-aged man in a white suit with a stethoscope around his neck walked over."Oh my. Why didn't you wait for Uncle Faisal first?" he asked Lisna. "I was so worried about Keenan that I forced myself to leave the photo shoot this afternoon.""Yes," Lisna said with her lips parted. "I didn't know that the one who was v
["What's going on, hmm? You called."]Keenan glanced at Lily who looked uneasy beside him. After that, he returned to his phone. ["Lily is absent from work today. Please arrange for her permission."]["Wow. What did you do to her, huh?"]["I'm sick. Don't ask too many questions. Just do your job."] After that, Keenan cut off the call unilaterally. Then he looked at Lily who still looked upset. "Why again? Isn't everything already done? How many times do you want to be reimbursed for not coming to work today? I'm transferring now. Maybe... cash perhaps."Lily shook her head briefly. "Thank you in advance. I don't need your money. Not everything can be bought with money.""Yeah, yeah, I forgot." Keenan nodded his head. "You're willing to marry me so your son can have a father. Heh.""That's more important," Lily said in a voice that was starting to sound hoarse. "Now, what should I do?""Nothing. You can rest if you want," Keenan said finally. "Where's Farel? Why isn't he
His argument last night with Dimas was still clearly recorded in Keenan's memory. This morning, the cold man gasped when he didn't see his usual wife still lying on the sofa. His eyes blinked quickly to look at the wall clock. The shorthand still pointed to five, where did Lily go? Yes. Last night she chose to go to bed first because she was still upset by Dimas' accusations. He denied that he had fallen for Lily. Now he was distraught when he couldn't find her in the room or the kitchen."Sir? What's wrong?" The voice just now certainly surprised Keenan. How could it not? A security guard with a sarong on his head had reprimanded him this early. He chuckled in annoyance."Why are you here?" Keenan asked back with an unhappy look.The man with the thick mustache grimaced softly. "Sorry, sir. I accidentally saw you pacing more than twice from the living room to the kitchen. I thought -""Never mind, go back to your place!" cut Keenan off quickl
Keenan was happy to hear it at first. He took the time to smile at Lisna before following Lily who was walking towards the living room."You can't object. This is my house," Keenan said showing his power of attorney.Lily nodded in agreement. Then she opened her mouth. "I know, Keenan. I know because I still clearly remember what I came here for. I just wanted to remind you about our agreement. There is Farel's heart to take care of, right?"How could it not? Having everything made the German-Indonesian half-breed a man who liked to do as he pleased. Don't blame him. Hearing the name of the four-year-old boy, Keenan immediately realized. His tongue was too loose to interrupt or argue. However, the ego within pushed him to speak up."Heh, you're using your child as a weapon!" he snapped i
"I'm sorry for getting you pregnant." The statement just now made Lily, who was in pain, laugh. Inevitably, the driver who also heard it laughed unconsciously."Keenan?" whined Lily in between contractions that slowed down for a moment. "It's okay. I can do it. Don't be a crybaby. Our child is about to be born, his father is crying.""Yes, sir. We have to keep our spirits up so that Madame is strong enough to give birth." The driver was equally supportive."You guys are right." Keenan quickly wiped away the tears that had rolled down his cheeks. "I have to accompany you in the delivery room later. If the doctors see me weak, they won't let me in." Lily smiled at her husband's words. Before long, the car arrived at its destination. Keenan shouted from outside for the attendants to prepare a whe
"Hi, auntie!" greeted Farel as he waved his hand at Lisna. The innocent boy had even moved to salute the woman in front of them.Lisna nodded with a smile. "You're getting bigger, aren't you?""Yes," Farel said quickly. "I want to be a big brother too.""Yes." Again, Lisna could only nod. She turned to Lily and said, "Congratulations on the pregnancy.""Thank you." This time it was Keenan who answered with an unfriendly look in his eyes. He still harbored anger over what Lisna had done at that time."I'm sorry.""Never mind. Don't think about it anymore," said Lily who was now smiling sweetly. "How are you?""I'm... good." Shortly after that, they heard Lisna's name being called by someone. Everyone turned their heads."Honey, are you here?" Dimas. The man ju
Farel was very excited to tell Adrian about the news of his mother's fetus. He even ignored the cake and snacks on the table. As usual. His voice always dominated among the adults."Wow!! I'm so happy that you're going to be a big brother soon." Adrian responded with a smile. Then he turned to Lily who was rubbing her bulging belly. Honestly, the love hasn't faded yet."That's it. I will take you upstairs to get ready." Keenan got up from his seat and took Farel's hand. Leaving Lily with Adrian who was still in the living room. The atmosphere turned into silence. Until Adrian chose to speak first. He smiled bitterly at his ex-wife who was now pregnant."Congratulations on your pregnancy.""Thank you." Lily nodded with a smile. "Don't forget to come the day after tomorrow.""I-yeah." Adr
"I want a little brother," Farel said when their little family had just taken a break from the pool. His eyes lit up when he put his hand on his mom's bulging belly."Looks like you're sure," teased Keenan, who now had his ear pressed against the other side of her belly. The man blinked when he felt something kick from inside. It made him and Farel chuckle in unison and then get busy arguing about the gender of their new family member."Isn't that right? He said he'll be my badminton buddy later." This time Farel felt very confident with his guess. Lily, meanwhile, just smiled as she listened to the two men she loved arguing back and forth. It was a beautiful sight that she had longed for since long ago. Soon she pushed their hands away and prepared to get up from the chair."Mom, tell me it's
Keenan lost his voice once he realized what happened. He continued to hug Lily to the hospital. Inevitably placing a small kiss on the area of his woman's face. Meanwhile, Bagas occasionally looked back. Trying to speed up the vehicle that he was currently driving himself so that it could go even faster. If he were in the master's position now, he would probably do the same."Mr. Keenan?""Do your best for my wife!!!" All the staff in the hospital's emergency room moved quickly to deal with Lily, while Keenan was busy pacing back and forth. He felt both suffocated and regretful of what had happened. Blaming himself for his wife's current state.Two hours later... &nb
"No!" Keenan quickly denied it. "I'm sure it was him who kidnapped Lily.""Are you crazy?" Lisna shook her head.Keenan gave Lisna a sharp look. "Or you're the one! Oh yeah. I've seen you talking to Adrian. You might have been working together. Answer, Lisna!" The frustrated man was about to throw another punch at Dimas' face, but his daddy and Bagas held his burly body back. He was blocked by both of them."Stop it!" his daddy snapped again. "This is not the way to act. You have to think with a cool head. Why are you being so brutal?""Lily is my wife, Dad!" snapped Keenan with mixed feelings. "I'd go crazy losing her. Especially now that she's... agh!!! She's sick. How is she now? Is he okay? No one knows, right?""We understand how you feel. Calm down for a while," her daddy coaxed.
"Honey, what's wrong with you?" asked Mommy who first saw her daughter-in-law sitting back down. The question just now made everyone turn their heads. Especially Keenan who moved closer to his wife."I'm fine." Lily smiled faintly and tried to calm them down. However, the two men she loved shook their heads in unison. Who else if not Keenan and Farel?"I'll take you to your room," said Keenan who immediately carried Lily's body."I'm coming too. I'll just hold Mom's hand, okay? I still can't carry Mom," said Farel, who didn't want to be left behind."Yes, sweetheart. You may.""Good boy. Be careful." Mommy Keenan helped her beautiful daughter-in-law get up from the sofa. She then let her son and grandson carry Lily.&nb
"Keenan won't agree, darling." The words containing the meaning of rejection touched Lily's heart. She shook her head weakly and said, "Mommy said that he loves me a lot, right?" Her mother-in-law's quick nod made her say, "Let's prove it later." Breakfast this morning was completely different because it was the first time Lily served it to Keenan's family. She looked nervous as she saw the expressions on each of their faces as they tasted her cooking."How is it, isn't it delicious?" Mommy Keenan asked them. The grandfather as the most elderly person there then spooned Senfeier, a dish of boiled eggs doused with mustard sauce. Coupled with boiled potatoes that are finely mashed and sprinkled with plain peanuts on top."This is delicious. I like it," said the old man who resumed eating."Everything Lily cooked.""Amazing!" Now all the members' eyes were on Keenan's beautiful wife. Staring at her with admiration and pride
"Dimas, behave yourself! Don't provoke Keenan's emotions!" whispered Lisna, who quickly pinched the waist of the man beside her.Dimas chuckled. Especially when he saw Keenan's face start to turn red. "I was just kidding." He gave a quick blink and then quickly ran away with a happy heart because he always managed to prank his childhood friend. Meanwhile, Lily sighed softly and rubbed her husband's left arm."My husband is grumpy. Don't be like that. He'll get old quickly.""Your fault," Keenan said with a sour face. "You're very beautiful. So my competition is everywhere."Lily replied, "You too. Look at those women over there! Everyone looked envious. They're upset that this handsome man has a wife." Both of them chuckled and then returned to their standby positions to greet the other
