All because of Angel

Chapter 41

Andrean was focusing on the book he was reading. The man who liked to read was frowning when he saw his wife changing her clothes. He did not realize that Angel entered the walk in closet earlier.

"Adrina's parents invited us to dinner at her house,"

"Oh, when?"

"Hour eight,"

Andrean glanced at the clock attached to his wall. Time has shown at seventeen minutes.

Andrean stared for a while at his wife who was wearing a soft non-formal dress like the color as well. Angel looked back at her husband. Feeling noticed, Angel became insecure. He looks at his own appearance.

"Any huh? Did I change my other clothes?"

"No, that's good. But his arms are less long. Isn't it cold later?"

Andrean rarely commented on anything. But after marriage, somehow he is not so passive anymore.

I don't know if it's just his wife or someone else. But Angel was happy because it meant that her husband was sensitive to things about her. 

"The spring. All right, I'll get the cardigan first,"

Angel walked into the room she had been visiting for a while to change clothes. He pulled a lilac-colored cardigan. Color matching. The dress is lavender colored and only has one arm or less from his shoulder.

"This is the dress Mommy gave me,"

She told her husband after he finished wearing the cardigan. Andrean looked at his wife again.

"That's better,"

Andrean smiled, "Thank you, Andrean,"

Angel tried to cover up her nervousness just because Andrean praised her. Though the cold man did not say 'beautiful' or anything like that but he still misbehaved.

"Your clothes have been prepared. You don't have clothes that are this color?" Angel asked, pointing at her shirt.

Andrean threw away his face. Angel is just there. Since when did he have a dress that was very close in color to the woman?

"If you ask Auris, the answer must be there. But if you ask me, you know the answer,"

Angel chuckles small. It is also wrong to want their clothes this time to match the color.

Andrean closed the book and then moved from the edge of the bed. He took off the glasses he was wearing.

"I'll change clothes first,"

"Yes, I'm waiting downstairs. Looks like Mommy's ready,"

Andrean nodded, then his figure disappeared behind the connecting door between the walk in closet and the room.

"Why are our clothes the same?"

Auristella was surprised to find that the dress she wore could be the same as the dress that Angel wore as well.

Angel was confused too. Looking at her two daughters who looked at each other's dress, Lovi chuckled.

"Mommy purposely bought the same for you two,"

Angel and Auristella both nodded slowly. Apparently it was deliberately set by Lovi so that they had the same clothes. But they did not expect that it could coincide when wearing it.

"You really fit into a brother and sister" Lovi said with a big smile.

"May wear the same clothes. Or have you had an appointment before?"

Both are shaking compactly. Their interaction is still stiff. Because Auristella could not fully accept that now she has a sister-in-law.

"No, Mom. This is a coincidence" Auristella replied.

Adrian came up to them in beige cargo pants and a white T-shirt with small letters L and V attached to his right chest.

"Woahhh brother sister compact once. Finally yes, Auris. You got twins in the dress. Now it's not just Mommy your twins,"

Adrian teases his sister while laughing. While the younger brother just glanced at her cynically.

"Adrian, I'm beautiful, perfect is the point. Don't look for a problem that can make me go berserk huh," he recalled to the brother.

Adrian knew his sister was sniffling at Angel, just like Adrina, and gadia-another girl who was close to her two brothers. So, he teased the girl when he saw Angel and Auristella wearing the same clothes. Auristella without a cardigan.

"But seriously, you're beautiful, Angel,"

Auristella squinted at her brother. His teeth were grieving. Is that her sister she or Angel?

"I'm prettier" she said haughtily as she brushed her hair.

"Damn,"

Auristella snorted before curling the skin on the arm of her second brother until he hissed sickly. The Auristella pinch was truly incredible from childhood until now.

Angel smiled at their discussion. Her husband's family was really warm. He had rarely seen the debate between brother and sister that was so typical.

Angel sighed slowly then lowered her head for a moment. Again he compared the interaction between Adrian with Auristella with himself and his brother. They were never like that. The one with Gesty snapped at him, scolding him especially if he did not fulfill his wish. Gesty can be rude. Not a small pinch like Auristella gave Adrian. Instead of a slap or a jolt until he falls.

Devan was ready also with his casual clothes because only a few meters road, they had arrived.

Then Andrean was also ready with the clothes that Angel had prepared earlier. He wears cargo pants too because both Andrean and Adrian do like to wear such model pants. Andrean wears navy colored shirts which are certainly no less expensive than their outfit.

"We got in the car, Dad,"

"Basic crazy. The road is also slightly up. Why take a car? So spoiled of you!"

Adrian looked at his sister annoyed. Not one kilometer to Adrina's house. It has been said, their house was facing only that the distance could not be reached with five steps. But still close.

"I'm kidding!"

"You are spoiled. Ask a little to get in the car. Not only spoiled, you're also lazy,"

"Whisper!"

"After all, if you argue, when will we go?"

As usual, Devan is the mediator. Of course they were silent. Different story that Lovi mediates. Less powerful to make their mouth shut.

"Come, please come in. Woah it's great that you can come up with a complete formation like this,"

Jino and his wife welcome Devan, his wife, and also his children.

Devan's shoulder was patted gently by Jino. "Ah you rarely come here. Is it that busy?"

Devan chuckled, "You rarely go to my house yourself,"

Jino laughed, then took her guests to the garden of a spacious house. The garden was decorated with small lights. It is simple and only available for two families.

"How were your days as a husband, Andrean? Happier surely, huh?"

Andrean only raised the corner of his lips at a glance in response to the question of his Mommy friend in their home environment that was at once the Mommy of Adrina.

"Angel is good at taking care of husbands,"

"Ah, I guessed it" Sheva said when Lovi spoke about Angel.

"Andrean already, there are two more of our responsibilities,"

"Hmm if I'm just one,"

Both mothers then said and chuckled. Lovi and Sheva are certainly talking about their respective children whose status is not like Andrean.

"There's no desire like Andrean?"

Adrian raised his eyebrows when asked Sheva. He chuckles then shakes.

"Wind, but there is no soul mate yet," Adrian's naughtiness sounded light.

"Adrina just sat there,"

Adrina obeyed Mommy's word to sit next to Adrian. Sheva wants to be next to Lovi. Same thing with Devan sitting next to Jino.

Adrian deliberately pushed Adrina's elbow on the table using his arm.

Adrina clucked and looked at him sharply. "If you are, there is no desire like Andrean?"

Adrian mimicked Sheva's question and asked Adrina. The girl seemed to roll her eyes.

"It's none of your business!"

"If there is a mate, don't forget to invite me to attend your wedding, yes,"

Adrina did not respond. He chooses to pick up the cutlery in front of him while Adrian snorts because he feels ignored.

"He talks like that. Then what Andrean said at that time was not true. Yeah, we're just friends, too,"

Adrina grabbed the glass near her plate and gulped down the contents. He gulped slowly with his mind breezing.

Still neatly stored in his memory when Andrean talked about Adrian who most likely had more expectations for him so that they could be more than just friends.

The discussion to date disturbs Adrina's mind, and to be honest that's why the more he came to Adrian. In addition to ascertaining for himself what Andrean said was the truth, He did so also because of his own desire to feel the need to build a defense.

"Adrina, let's get eaten. Don't drink too much,"

Adrina flinched from her composure when rebuked by the Mother. Quickly he took the food and ate it.
