"Mom," Thomas can't believe what his mother just said. "Why?""Well, I should be asking you, shouldn't I? How's your communication with your wife? Just because you're busy with work doesn't mean when you're alone together, you're actually together, Tom."Kalina isn't willing to hear any objections, so Thomas chooses to stay quiet. He listens carefully to his mother's words and the direction she's going, so he can process and resolve the situation."Even though every married couple looks forward to the arrival of their children, Mom really gave it a lot of thought when she talked to Olive the other day. She said she wanted to date you first. There's a reason behind that. Having a child isn't just about getting pregnant and giving birth. There's a mother's mental preparedness. You've only been close for a short time, right? Mom somewhat agrees with that wish. So it's natural for Olive to be shocked if she's already pregnant. Though Mom is very sure, Olive is carry

The journey to the hospital goes smoothly without any hitches. In fact, according to Thomas, it's like an impromptu tour because they pass by many important places around the resort area. The distance to other residential areas is quite far and it really feels peaceful."If you can walk around, it's nice to visit the traditional houses of Sumba. There are often traditional events to attract tourists."Olive sighs softly. "I'm still not brave enough, Sir." Her eyes are directed towards the road the car is taking her to the hospital. "Who knows, I might be feeling better tomorrow.""Yeah. Don't worry, Ma'am, your health is more important. Visiting Sumba can be done another time," says the guide with a wide smile. "But do you and Sir enjoy staying at the resort? Or is there any service of ours that is lacking?""No!" Olive quickly interrupts. "Everything's really great. I love it. I'll recommend this place to my friends at the office. For a healing that ulti

"Mommy talks like I'm really annoying to be a wife?" asked Olive as she straightened her back slightly."You didn't sleep?" asked Thomas in surprise. Since they got in the car, they stopped by a Padang restaurant around Serpong where Olive ate with great enthusiasm. She even ate twice! Thomas was worried that Olive might regurgitate her stomach contents.But no!Olive was actually very happy to be able to eat a lot. Making Thomas and Seira relieved. As they continued their journey back to the apartment (Seira said, everyone was gathered there. Including Olive's friends. Which Seira empowered to help her in-laws prepare the dinner this time)"No." Olive sneered at her husband. "I heard everything, Bae."Thomas chose to pay attention to Olive instead. His seat was made comfortable by a chair that was set slightly reclined. "Want some fruit? Mummy brought grapes.""My stomach is not a food storage sack, honey," Olive said, wagging her finger. "

"Taking forever, huh?" Seira sighs softly. But it seems Seira's wait ends when the doorbell rings quite loudly. It makes her put down the cup of tea that Koni made before she went to sleep. Koni has reminded Seira several times to rest for a while. But unfortunately, talking to Seira in this state won't be listened to."Ro?" Seira calls out cheerfully as she opens the door but..."For Madam from Mister," says Johan, showing a large bouquet of flowers made of... money?Seira's eyes dart back and forth between the bouquet and Johan who came alone without Robert. She can't just accept it without knowing where Robert actually is."Where's Sir?" she asks, confused. "You were on the same flight with Sir, right? What happened to Robert?" Seira presses without pause. She doesn't care much about the money bouquet that two people have to hold so it won't fall. She also ignores when Johan asks the two to bring in the bouquet dominated by elegant and classy red and b

"Delicious or super delicious, Sir," Darius quickly responds. "Olive's taste buds don't know the word 'not delicious'. Everything is delicious to her. That's why inviting Olive to eat is the most fun. Not much comment. Before you know it, her plate is empty."Thomas chuckles. What Darius said is true, isn't it? It's rare to hear Olive comment on the taste of food that's already been ordered. Instead, she says it's a shame if it's not finished. A waste. It's a sin to waste food, she says. Better to go into her stomach.The problem is, no matter how much Olive eats, her body doesn't widen sideways. She remains slim and unchanged. When Thomas first met Olive, his wife rarely exercised. Thomas is confused, huh."Shut up!" Olive glares, not pleased. "Instead of worrying about my appetite, you better tell me what you've tried at the food booths over there. What's good?""If you like Zuppa Soup, I think it's good," Riana quickly says, pointing to the place on th
