Once they have ascertained that she’d been pregnant for eight weeks, they also decided to do an ultrasound. It’s still early to know the gender, but Klyde wanted to hear heartbeats. Her lips twitched at how assertive he was in making requests. He didn’t even ask her if she wants to. Fine, whatever.

She did notice his enthusiasm. Under the surface, that is. His smile was enough to let her know it. He rarely smiles and those are small smiles. This time, he’s smiling wide. For a moment, she was mesmerized by how good he looks.

She would admit that he’s really handling the situation better than she does. Instead of expressing anger and disappointment, he was actually accepting of the situation they were thrust in. Good, then.

On their way home, Klyde did see that she’s not as grumpy. This is what she’s like during mid-day, huh? Her expression is almost neutral. She squints from time to time, but that was it.

    The old man looked confused for a moment before he finally understood and was stunned.“You two got married?”“Yes.” Klyde replied with a nod.“Why do I not know about this? Why didn’t you invite me?” His tone showed his displeasure.Mel bit her lip upon hearing that.“We wanted a simple wedding. We’re afraid you would insist on a grand wedding, so we only invited you at this time. We got married this morning.”Enrico looked down and eyed their joined hands. They’re both wearing rings.“This morning?” He wanted to confirm.“Yes. Welcome to the reception. We only have a handful of guests.” He gestured towards the others and the old man took a good look at them this time. Some of them would look their way from time to time. Lily, especially, since she knows what’s going on.“You got married this morning?”&ldq

    “Oh, you don’t need to wait that long. If she’s able to adjust to the pregnancy, the hormones would have less influence on her. Of course, you have to do your part and be supportive. If she says not to touch, then stop touching, idiot. Stop provoking her.” His disdain was there. The sight of Klyde being scolded like a child was fun to see.Mel grinned and chuckled. “See, you should learn how to listen.”Klyde looked at one to the other, defeated, “Fine. I’ll listen to you.”“Great. Now keep your hands to yourself.”“We just got married. Can’t I even hold your hand?”Mel took a moment to assess her feelings. “The hand is fine. Just the hand.” She emphasized her statements, stressing each word.Enrico squinted at his grandson. Why is he being clingy? Can’t keep his hands off his woman?Even Lily who can’t help but eavesdrop on the

    His own mood improved after she passionately kissed him back. There’s still hope for him. Maybe she’ll really be in the mood to sleep with him on their honeymoon. He has been trying to remain patient but his desire for her would soon reach its limits. He can’t wait for much longer.He woke her up a couple of hours later and she asked for a bit of time to change and grab her things. She decidedly pushed him out the door. Melissa eyed the pieces of clothing she packed in her bag. She then changed into a glittery red dress that barely covered half her thighs and her chest. Her undergarments are also red, but in lace. She’s feeling playful.He let out an expletive when he laid his eyes on her. She even winked at him before declaring they could go now. He followed her like moth to flame.She posed for him before getting inside the car, highlighting her sexy outfit. It’s a pity she couldn’t wear her red shoes. They’re quite high.Mel chuckled at seeing his expression. Oh, he’s definitely hu

    “It’s only for today. Enjoy it.” His reply made her grin. She expected as much.The beach was situated at the back of the mansion and he took her out through the back door. Welp. She was greeted by a few tall trees and green shrubbery lining the pathway.“Am I not heavy?”“I think I can carry two of you.”“Huh, but you’re already carrying two of us.” She winked at him and it took him a moment to process her words. Ah, yes. He chuckled as he reached a pool bed near the shore. What are they called? Sun lounger? He set her down and sat on another one.Mel quickly set her feet on the sand and wiggled them.“Can I go on the water?”“Go ahead. It shouldn’t be cold yet.”He took her hand and went with her.“Oh, it’s still a little warm.” They went in until the waters reached above her knees.“Can I swim?” She moved to remove her coat.“Are you dumb? You’re not wearing underwear.”“What? There’s only water here. Are you expecting a fish to approach me?”“Something worse than that, a jellyfish

    Mel was also getting frustrated. Who would want to be grumpy all the time? She tries not to, but it just is. She couldn’t help her reaction to certain things, especially when it comes to Klyde.The following week, she stayed home to assess herself. Time to seriously do what the doctor suggested and think what’s making her tick.As for Klyde, he has a vague idea already. Considering her mood during their honeymoon near the beach, it probably has something to do with her environment. As she said, his current house is somewhat dark and gloomy. It may be one of the things affecting her mood. It’s not advisable to repaint the whole place, so he asked them to replace the curtains and anything that can be replaced with something of lighter color.Although she would probably prefer the mansion near the beach, it just won’t work for him. It’s an hour and a half of travel from his company. It’s meant for vacations, not something to actu

    He couldn’t bear to see it, though. He ran a hand through his hair. Well, his work can wait. At most, they’ll spend an hour or so outside before coming back.“Alright, we’ll go. But I didn’t really plan to do it tonight, so I didn’t prepare anything. Are you alright with just choosing a random restaurant to have dinner in?” He felt like a failure and looked sheepish. His expression actually looked cute and she gaped at him.“That’s fine with me.” Anything is fine as long as she can go out tonight, the soonest time possible. She can’t wait much longer.“Alright. Go and change. Make it casual.”“Got it.” She grinned and hopped towards him, kissing him on the cheek.He went to change his clothes, too. He took out his phone to check which restaurants are close to their address.Klyde’s lip twitched when he saw his driver already having dinner.

    Mel showed an amused expression. He would? Would they still be together until they’re old and grey? That’s something her parents were unable to experience, but seeing the old couple… it’s cute how they seem still very much in love with each other.She turned her gaze to the man in front of him. She was slightly startled by his intense gaze, as if he’s looking straight at her soul. Her heart skipped a beat and she became nervous. She looked away and watched the musicians instead. There’s a pianist and three violinists.Damn, why must this man be so charming? She’s gotten used to his scent and it’s reminding her of the nights they’ve shared. She inhaled sharply when he hugged her closer as they swayed to the music.The current one is about to end but she didn’t want the dance to stop. She laid her head against his chest, refusing to move as they transitioned to a new one. And well, it has to be Canon in

    “I don’t know. I’m planning to let this guy eat the leftovers, but he said he’ll just give it to the staff at home.”Priscilla chuckled, “Well, you can’t let him eat all of it. That’s a lot of sugar. It’s great that you have a supportive husband. You’re very fortunate.”Mel smiled. Is she? She eyed said husband. Well, this trip and chat with someone as nice as her was arranged by him. Yeah, she’s lucky. He was so thoughtful of her needs.But then, it occurred to her. Was this necessary? He’s definitely going beyond what’s required of him.As they left the café and heading to a restaurant for a meal, Mel could swear she could fool herself to believe he truly cares about her. He looked a little uncomfortable with the way she stared at him.“What?” He asked after a while, curious why she’s staring at him like that.“I think, you&rs

    “If you don’t want to, then I won’t force you. You’re still the most important to me.”In the morning, he was gone when she woke up. She went to take a quick shower and found him with a breakfast tray when she got out of the bathroom. Those were his opening words as she sat on the bed with him.“I’m sorry I can’t give you a daughter.” She muttered, still feeling complicated about it.“Don’t be. It’s fine. I only wanted a daughter because I thought watching her grow up would let me see how you grew up. And I also thought boys would be difficult to handle.”She can only snort. He has an odd way of thinking.“Are you feeling better?” He reached out to touch her forehead again.“Yeah. The fever’s gone.” And the headache. She didn’t complain about a headache last night but it was there.“Did you check on Klay last night?&

    Klyde was immensely relieved. Mel is already three months pregnant but she’s not as grumpy as before. She also very touchy instead of loathing his touch. He dared not to voice out his observations, though. He wouldn’t jinx it.Her behavior is hugely different than before. He’s convinced they’re really having a girl this time. Mel was amused when he predicted such a thing, and told him it’s a boy, just to rile him up. She even came up with a name, Kyle. He’s clearly not pleased, grunting and insisting it’s going to be a girl. He would name her Malia.They made a bet on it and decided not to check the gender before birth. They want it to be a surprise, but she knew she would feel bad to see him disappointed.The pregnancy was a lot easier. Mel thought it’s because they’re prepared this time and they wanted it. She has less worries and sincerely happy with the situation. Klyde was very supportive, too.Wh

    After their honeymoon, she insisted on going to his beach house. They spent two days there and she enjoyed watching the sunset.“Do you like it that much?” Klyde asked against her ear as he hugged her from behind.“Yeah. It’s more than beautiful.” She lowly uttered, tilting her head to the side as he began pressing kisses on her neck.“You’re the most beautiful.” He husked against her skin, making her shiver.Mel couldn’t help chuckling. She likes it when he compliments her in his own sweet way.“I’m still the most beautiful for you?” She glanced at him and he quickly captured her lips. Why must he act like he’s still so in love with her? She moaned as he kissed her deeper.“You’ll always be the most beautiful for me.” He whispered against her lips.“How about when we have a daughter?” She couldn’t help but wonder how much

    Klyde was gloating. They’ve been teaching Klay how to talk and the first word he could say properly was “dada”. He spent so much time practicing it with him.Mel wasn’t even competing with him. “Now teach him how to say mama.”That kid is definitely going to grow up as daddy’s boy. She’s extremely satisfied with the way he’s very hands-on in raising their son. Who knew he could be very patient? She wasn’t as patient as him.Right now, the man is slowly teaching him how to walk. Klay crawls a lot and is very active, but he can’t walk on his own two feet yet. Klyde needs to hold his body or his arms to get him standing up.Without any experience, he was initially afraid of holding him. The boy was so delicate, he was scared he would hurt him, bruise him or break his little body. He had to be very gentle with him.“Here, feed him. He must be hungry now.” Mel passed him a bot

    When she heard that, she began to look guilty.“What? You don’t want to?” Here he is again with a whiny tone.Mel grimaced as she replied, “Something like that.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”“Actually, I’m already on birth control. I got a new arm insert.” She sheepishly replied.Pursing his lips, he asked, “Since when? Why didn’t you tell me?”“Uh, a month after I gave birth? I really don’t want to get pregnant for the time being.” Her tone was somewhat pleading him to understand her worries.“I just forgot to tell you.”He kept his silence.“Klyde, I’m not ready to go through that again. Not anytime soon.”Finally, upon seeing her worried expression, he relented. He sighed and took her in his arms.“But it’s not off the table, is it? Would you be interested in

    She quickly swallowed when he turned his glare on her. Mel stood her ground, though. She didn’t do anything wrong. She even raised an eyebrow to challenge him.He grabbed her arm and brought her to her little office in the back. There’s still a couple of customers in the café, so it’s not suitable to confront her there. They passed Nessa on the way, who became a little worried for her boss.“Klyde…” She began but was immediately cut off. She’s feeling a different kind of déjà vu.“Do you like him? Is he your type?” His tone was sharp and accusatory but upon hearing his words, she was reminded of a similar situation not too long ago.It made her a little speechless. She opened her mouth to speak but she couldn’t form the words. What kind of situation is this?“Damn it, woman. Are you not satisfied with me? What else do I lack?” His expression was something

    In preparation for the event, he made sure she’s got a new dress. When she put it on, she looked stunning in it. He knew people’s eyes would be on them that night.When he warned her to ignore rude comments, she raised an eyebrow at him.“I think you’re forgetting something. I really don’t give a damn what other people think of me.” Sure, there were moments she would feel small and unworthy, but they’re fleeting moments. She can shrug them off quite quickly.“Right. You’re really meant to be my wife.”That’s statement made her heart melt. He placed her hand on his arm and they entered the venue. He wore a smile on his face, which was rare to see. Everyone who saw it were surprised and curious. They immediately made the connection to the woman by his side. His gaze was mostly on her as they walked in and that gaze was uncharacteristically gentle. At least, for other people who are used to se

    Mel fell asleep after that and he could only watch her. He traced her face before it seemed to irritate her and she snuggled closer to him. He smiled at her unconscious reaction.She hasn’t responded to it and she seemed in disbelief. When she wakes up, he’ll definitely make sure she remembers it from now on.A few hours later, she woke up with a need to use the toilet. She tried not to wake him, only to find him staring at her. She scrambled after that.Klyde smirked. He didn’t tease her this time. He let her run away.In the bathroom, she seemed to recall what happened before she slept. Her face felt hot and when she looked in the mirror, she could see the redness of her cheeks. And the damn hickeys on her neck! She did a quick wash before grabbing a bathrobe and squinting at the door. He’s waiting for her, isn’t he?When she got out, she saw him patting the bed.“You haven’t slept yet?” She

    Klyde quickly caught up with her just as she exited the door. He pulled her to the side, but she struggled against him. In that moment, he knew he’s in so much trouble again.“Mel, please. Don’t be angry. Let me explain.”She glared at him and pulled her hand back but he caught it again. Thankfully, his driver was outside and watching the entrance. Klyde saw him and nodded. The man quickly scrambled to get the car.“Melissa, don’t make a scene. Let’s go home and talk.” He grabbed both of her hands and pulled her close. Some people curiously looked in their direction and he glared at them. Mind your own business.Her imagination run wild again and as she kept silent, the scenario in her head kept becoming worse and worse. Her eyes constricted as she became angrier with every minute.He pushed her into the car and immediately followed. With her hands freed, she began hitting him. This bastard…
