Leo winced slightly as he suddenly heard the cry of their twin son, Nathan. This forced Leo to open his eyes, immediately seeing Alana smiling warmly at him while nursing Nicholas."It looks like Nathan needs a diaper change," Alana said, prompting Leo to sit up and walk over to the baby bed, seeing Nathan crying and squirming."Come on, buddy. Sleep after Dad changes your diaper, okay?" Leo said, starting to change Nathan's diaper. True enough, after Nathan's diaper was changed, he fell back asleep. Leo then walked unsteadily back to Alana, who was still nursing Nicholas."He seems insatiable," Leo commented. Alana could only purse her lips."And after a few minutes, it'll be Nathan who starts feeling hungry," Alana said, prompting Leo to extend his hand and gently stroke Alana's cheek."Shouldn't we consider hiring a babysitter?" Leo asked, starting to worry about Alana's condition, as she looked extremely exhausted from taking care of their twin babies. However, Alana shook her hea
Pedro looked puzzled at Leo, who was now leaning back in his large chair."You look like you haven't slept in a week," Pedro said, occasionally glancing at his laptop screen, only to receive a grunt from Leo."I've already sent out the meeting results via email," Pedro said, getting the same subdued response from Leo. Whether he was listening or not, it made Pedro frustrated to see Leo in such a state."You're really worrying me. What's going on with you?" Pedro asked, thinking Leo might be feeling unwell."I'm just busy taking care of my twin babies," Leo replied, still with his eyes closed, prompting Pedro to set aside his laptop and look directly at his friend."Don't you plan to hire a nanny?" Pedro asked again, causing Leo to finally sit up and meet Pedro's gaze."Alana doesn't want anyone else to interfere in taking care of our babies. She says she can handle everything herself, even though at night I can't sleep soundly and let Alana take care of both Nicholas and Nathan," Leo
Pedro successfully escaped from Leo, who seemed to have given up chasing him outside the office, causing Pedro to briefly turn around before continuing his steps. Pedro headed straight to the coffee break area not far from the office to meet Camila. He intentionally didn't bring his car due to the short distance he could walk to enjoy the fresh air, maybe just around 5 minutes. Afterward, Pedro arrived at a coffee break spot he occasionally visited. The doorbell chimed as Pedro opened the door, and the aroma of coffee combined with baked goods filled Pedro's senses, prompting him to glance around the somewhat quieter coffee break area, perhaps because it wasn't the usual break time for employees. Pedro's gaze then landed on a table right by the window overlooking the coffee break garden. If Pedro's guess was correct, the woman's figure at the table was Camila, prompting Pedro to approach and pull out a chair in front of her, catching Camila off guard as she seemed lost in thought star
If the day before Pedro was staring in bewilderment at Leo, this time it was Leo and Alana who stared in surprise at Pedro when he just stared blankly at the table in front of him."Why aren't you going home?" Leo asked, causing Pedro to just exhale weakly."I just don't want to be alone right now," Pedro replied without looking at Leo, causing Alana to lean towards her husband."Is he having a problem?" Alana asked, making Leo shrug indifferently."You're just trying to find excuses not to work overtime at the office right now, aren't you?" Leo accused, making Pedro click his tongue in annoyance."I finished my work an hour before office hours ended, so I have no reason to work overtime," Pedro replied."Are you having a problem?" Leo finally asked, echoing Alana's question."I don't know, I don't know if what I'm experiencing can be called a problem or not," Pedro replied. Then he sighed deeply and leaned back. His face looked tired, as if he was really pondering something heavy, ma
Camila began to intertwine her sweaty fingers on the table of a restaurant near the city park. Occasionally, she glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was already twenty minutes past lunchtime, making Camila feel anxious. Would Pedro come? Was his invitation just a joke? Not to mention the restaurant waiter had approached her several times to ask if she would order food or not, finally making Camila reluctantly order a drink.Camila still hoped that Pedro would come, even if she would only listen to his rejection. At least, Safir would feel relieved to continue his schooling in California because his feelings were no longer hidden, which had been like a burden in his heart. At least, if Pedro really rejected her, maybe Camila would start sorting out her heart and finding a new love, Camila thought.The doorbell behind her caught Camila's attention, and she immediately turned to look at a man who was rolling up his sleeves while scanning the restaurant. His gaze stopped when he saw Cam
Camila immediately straightened up when she realized Pedro was standing in front of her under the umbrella being showered by the pouring rain. Camila blinked several times, trying to ensure that the man in front of her wasn't just a figment of her imagination, until Camila was sure that it was indeed Pedro standing before her."What do you mean?" Camila asked, confirming her words. Pedro then stepped closer, leaving Camila speechless and unable to move."Your feelings aren't in vain," Pedro said, deepening the furrows on Camila's forehead, further perplexing her with his words."One month. During that time, I want to understand my own feelings, so for the remaining time, I want to try to determine if I also have the same feelings for you, or at least during that month, let's build a closer relationship," Pedro said, causing Camila's eyes to widen in disbelief at Pedro's decision."One month," Camila murmured. It was the time she had left here before moving to California, and Camila ha
Pedro glanced at the invitation card on his table as Leo placed it there."What's this?" Pedro asked, looking at Leo, who was now sitting in the chair opposite him."It's an invitation letter for our company, more specifically for me," Leo said, causing Pedro to furrow his brow."So, why are you giving it to me?" Pedro asked again, not understanding Leo's actions."I can't go. Tonight, I have to accompany Alana and the twins. I can't bear to leave Alana alone to take care of the twins later tonight," Leo said, making Pedro lean back and look at his friend."And?" Pedro asked."So, can you represent me?" Leo said, making Pedro exhale roughly."You know as well, I don't enjoy the hustle and bustle of parties," Pedro said."I know. But still, it's not like you can refuse when your boss can't go, so the secretary has to go," Leo said, making Pedro grumble in annoyance."What if you go to the party and I accompany Alana at home?" Pedro suggested, making Leo immediately throw a folder towar
Camila looked at the dresses hanging in front of her. Actually, just being in this place made Camila feel insecure because she rarely went to places like this before, especially a boutique where the price of one dress alone was equivalent to several months of her salary. Camila glanced at Pedro, who was now waiting for her while busy with his phone.Earlier, Camila had refused Pedro's offer, citing that she had a suitable dress that she was sure wouldn't embarrass her. But Pedro insisted again that he was giving the dress as a thank you gesture, and Camila could wear it or not, it was up to her.Camila looked at the rows of dresses in front of her, with a waiter following her around."I'm actually confused about which dress to choose," Camila said with a awkward smile to the waiter, who responded with a warm smile."I can help you. What kind of dress are you looking for?" the waiter asked, making Camila think."I actually prefer something not too flashy, something that suits my body s
