"Those are much better than the ones you bought, Sweetie."I read the little bottle of pills again. It contained birth control pills, but when I opened it, they were orange. I frowned and met his gaze."Are you sure it's birth control pills, Aldo? It looks like vitamin C."He looked away and snorted slightly. He pretended to have adjusted his neck tie."The doctor recommended that. Well, it's up to you if you want to drink that. It's fine with me if you get pregnant again." He shrugged his shoulders.My eyes widened as I threw a pillow at him softly."Crazy! You only want pleasure. But you're not part of the hardship.""That's my point. I wasn't able to help you with the pain. I didn't even see Arkan as he grew." Sadness appeared in his eyes.I was silent. My conscience punched me even though it shouldn't have. How can he be sure that he will help me if he has a grudge against me?"Anyway, I'll go now. I need to work my asses off again since I am very sure I need a lot of money in the

"Arkan, don't run, Baby!"He stopped running and looked around the company lobby. He was excited to go upstairs to see Aldo. Aldo went to the company first; he just let the driver pick us up."Mom, so both of you will work?" he asked curiously.I said last night that I would work at his dad's company. I also couldn't just leave him with Yaya Karen, so I took him with me. Aldo has no idea about this. All he knows is that it's just me."Don't worry, Baby. You're in your Daddy's office; do what you want, Arkan." I winked at him, and he grinned.After that, he held my hand, and we went straight to the elevator together. When we got to the top floor, I immediately saw Melani, Karina, and Edril. I smiled widely at them before making my way toward them."Hello! How are you here?!" I greeted them.It's just that their attention is no longer on me but on Arkan. Their lips parted after staring at Arkan. Melani even dropped the folders she was holding and approached my son with wide eyes."Is it

I was shy when we were about to go home. I didn't leave the room until he called me. I think I just slept the whole day after what happened at the table. Arkan woke up before me, who was already outside. Aldo, on the other hand, slept for a while before returning to work. I think he finished what I was reading earlier. He also fixed the things he broke on the table.I sighed and picked up the clothes that Melani had given me earlier. I just asked Aldo to get it because I was shy! After my awesomeness, now I'm ashamed! I just want to swear!I slapped my cheeks softly before deciding to go out. I gently closed the door and tried to look serious. I looked straight at Aldo, who was facing the table while Arkan was on his lap writing something on paper. It seems like just a while ago I was on his lap and the table—Oh, shut up, Mayu! Replay or rewind is not possible!I scolded myself and returned my serious look. That's why it's hard to stand after seeing the strange smile on Aldo's lips.

"I'm fine." I gently shook his hand that was holding my shoulder, but he immediately returned it."Are you sure you weren't hurt?"He stared at me so intently that I shook my head. Physically, I was not really hurt because Mrs. Cora wasn't able to slap me. She did march away because of Aldo."I wasn't hurt physically. But in my heart and emotions... it hurts," I confessed softly.I know he doesn't care about my feelings, but I can't stop saying that. It's because of the weight that Arkan got involved in all of this. Add to that, my whole personality is being judged, even though they have no right to.The surroundings were quiet for a moment, and I understood that. It's okay even if he doesn't comfort me since we don't have anything."Uhm, I'm out first. I'm just going to drink some water."I bowed a little and was about to leave the bathroom, but he stopped my wrist. His palm immediately went to my back and touched my waist."I honestly don't know how to comfort you, but I want you to

I felt so betrayed. I don't want to accuse or think badly, but when I saw Yaya Karen carrying a dish, I felt furious. I think that she spread what I cooked on the floor just to pay attention to it. But why would she do that? That's the biggest question I have right now.I want to scold her, reprimand her, or even bully her. The case was that Arkan was staring, and I didn't want him to see that, so instead of confronting Yaya Karen, I walked out and marched upstairs. I locked myself in the room and took a shower again. Put on jammies and jump on the bed.My heart doesn't want to calm down in annoyance. It's terrifying, but I can't help it. I just buried my face in the pillow. I don't want to go down anymore, and I might not be able to stop my anger. I just hope Aldo feeds Arkan.My face lay on the pillow for half an hour before the door opened. I turned aside and ignored Aldo. I heard his footsteps and how he took off his watch."I cooked and fed Arkan. He doesn't want to eat Yaya Kare
