Bianca nodded and proceeded to call Gerald, requesting that he come to Veronica’s house. It didn’t matter if it was now or later; it would all lead to Gerald’s anger, it seemed.After Bianca finished her call, Veronica immediately contacted Frans and added more information about Bianca’s situation. She urged him to come home promptly to avoid any potential trouble. Frans, of course, complied with his wife’s request, as he knew how important this was to Veronica.An hour later, Frans and Gerald arrived simultaneously, parking their cars. “Please, don’t break her heart. Listen to her until she finishes explaining everything. Don’t interrupt her before she’s done. Trust me, she has a strong reason for doing all this,” Frans advised Gerald as he put his arm around his friend and guided him to the backyard. There, Bianca and Veronica were waiting.“I hope everything can be resolved peacefully,” Veronica added before she got up and left Bianca and Gerald alone. Frans followed her, and the
At this point, all he needed to do was apologize and promise, once again, that this would never happen again.After everything was finished, Bianca and Gerald returned to their house. Again, because of Bianca's patience, she was willing to give in to Gerald, so they were able to go home together. Because he still wanted to wait for Gerald to finish talking to Frans.This trip was very different from their usual trips. Bianca, who usually always had a large vocabulary, was now silent throughout their journey. Even though he wasn't completely disappointed with Gerald, there was still a little feeling left that he needed a little time to be quiet. At least for today.Understanding Bianca's condition, Gerald chose to remain silent and give her time to calm down. Moreover, after this they have to face Alma at home. If only it wasn't such a mess, of course Gerald would have taken Bianca to the hotel. However, considering that problem after problem had to be solved, not avoided, Gerald chose
"That's right. You're absolutely right. I'm worried about what I should do right now. Should we tell our mothers that we're going to have a baby?"Bianca shook her head. "That could lead to new problems. Maybe Mom would be happy and kick Yuna out. Or maybe Mom wouldn't like the idea of our baby. I'm sorry in advance, Ger. Maybe your mom will seek out the woman whose womb we borrowed and set our child aside." She closed her eyes. Bianca was aware that the words she spoke might hurt Gerald, but she just wanted to express her fears right now.Not without reason. Alma, who favored Yuna more, was very clearly not favoring her at the moment. Of course, Bianca could think like that."I understand what you're saying. And I understand why you're thinking that way. Seeing how Mom treats you and how she treats Yuna, the possibilities you fear could indeed happen."Bianca smiled. "Thank you for understanding me, Ger."Gerald held Bianca in his embrace. Of course, Gerald understood his wife's feel
Turns out, Gerald was wrong. He had just started to sleep when Yuna entered the room. She felt incredibly happy seeing Gerald lying on the bed.Without waiting long, Yuna immediately joined him and hugged Gerald from behind."I'm sorry, " she said."No need to apologize. But change your way of thinking, Una, so I can somewhat accept your presence here. One more thing, change all your bad behavior, especially towards Bianca. Don't keep cornering her. At least, do it for my sake," Gerald spoke without opening his eyes."What do you mean?" Yuna switched to lying in front of Gerald."Don't think that I don't know how you treat Bianca. Especially your words, they are too harsh on Karen. Even though she's the one who keeps pushing me to accept you. And, just so you know, I didn't have any intention of sleeping with you tonight. But she kicked me out of the room and asked me to come here," Gerald replied while still keeping his eyes closed."Is that really how Bianca is?" Yuna murmured, almo
Bianca woke up earlier than usual. She immediately took on her role as a wife, preparing breakfast and getting her husband's clothes ready. Even though Gerald slept with Yuna, his clothes were still in their bedroom. Bianca didn't want to see Gerald enter her room in a state of disarray after his night with Yuna.Before the sun rose, everything was prepared. Even Alma, who had been observing her, was impressed with Bianca's efficiency. She seemed like the perfect wife, flawless in Alma's eyes."Mi, since it's the weekend, I'm going jogging in the park. It won't take long, just until I break a sweat and finish the chicken porridge at the park," Bianca, dressed in workout attire, approached Alma, who was enjoying a cup of tea in the living room."Alright. Just be careful," Alma replied without looking up from her fashion magazine.Bianca smiled and started running towards the park, not far from their house. It was the place where she used to meet Riski."I didn't know where else to look
"Where are you going, Honey?" Gerald pulled Bianca into his arms."Don't hug me, Ger. I smell sweaty," Bianca tried to break free from his embrace.Gerald paid no attention to Bianca's words. Instead, he tightened his hold. "It's okay, I like it. Today is all about you," he whispered."No, Ger. Today, you still belong to Yuna. Tonight, you'll be mine," Bianca squirmed. She didn't like being hugged when Gerald still had Yuna's perfume scent on him."What's wrong with you?" Finally, Gerald let go and loosened his embrace."Nothing. It's just that I'm sweaty, Ger. I want to take a shower first. You should too. I've made breakfast for you." Bianca reached for a towel and handed it to Gerald. "Now, go shower.""Shower together?" Gerald raised an eyebrow."No, I have to check on Sabrina." Smiling, Bianca left the room and went to Sabrina's bedroom."Yul," Bianca called out when she saw Yuli dressing Sabrina. It seemed like the little girl had just finished her bath."Yes, Miss," Yuli replie
Veronica only gave him a side-eye, glancing at Riski, who was still enjoying his pizza.Frans understood. He was indeed curious about the stranger sitting in front of his wife. Seeing Veronica tightly shut her lips, Frans chose not to speak further. He opted to hug his wife's shoulder and engage with his small family instead.Ignored, Riski decided to leave Frans and Veronica. He had deep respect for the married couple, as there was no intention whatsoever to meddle in Bianca and Gerald's affairs."I'm curious, dear. Who was the man you were with earlier? And why did Gerald suddenly ask me to pick you up? It's quite confusing," Frans held the door open for Veronica, who was holding a sleeping Vanya."It's better if you take Vanya to her room, Hubby. I don't want her to wake up and hear our conversation," Veronica rubbed Frans' arm."Let's discuss this in the bedroom," Frans suggested.Veronica nodded. Finally they both separated. Frans went to Vanya's room and Veronica went to theirs.
"I can't believe you're quiet about this. You should've noticed all this from the beginning. What makes you think that Riski suddenly appeared here? And there was pizza and drinks set up for him? Do you really think I didn't notice the toppings on the pizza and the drinks you ordered, which were the same as what Riski had?"Bianca froze. She honestly hadn't noticed or paid attention to those details. Now she was beginning to doubt whether this was all just a coincidence or if Riski was genuinely following her everywhere."Why are you silent? Is what I said true? This is more than just a coincidence. You arranged to meet him, with Veronica as an excuse. With or without her consent! I'm disappointed in you. After you forced me into a marriage with a woman I don't love, now you're playing around with another man. Is this what you wanted all along? Are you tired of me?" Gerald growled. His mind was clouded, unable to think clearly. His marriage to Yuna had truly shattered him."It's up to
