When Olivia opened her eyes for the first time on this silent and cold morning, she could only sigh loudly while
looking at the clean ceiling of his room, and always will be. Complicated carvings placed on the surface of the walls of his room into a sweetener that is very beautiful to look at every morning. But is it true that the carvings can make the morning more beautiful? Answer's no.
There is nothing more beautiful in the morning since all the disasters happened to him in a row. He could barely even get up to recover his condition after the incident. Scout left him and his son. Then Sian who turned stiffer while with him. The man avoided it.
So far the man has been very kind to her. Sian did not divorce her at all after that painful incident. Instead, Sian accepted her back as his wife, but only for status.
Yeah, her marriage to Sian was no longer the same after the day of her kidnapping by Scout. Sian was no longer her former husband. He had turned into a quiet man who was less warm with his family.
Little does he know the reason Sian did that to them— Him, Justice, and also Scout **. Sian was injured by all the events that befell his household. The man still can't believe the reality he's slapping at the moment that his wife has shared her love with another man after being held captive for months in his home.
Whereas before he thought Sian was a great man with a heart as strong as steel who was not easily hurt by anything. But seeing what has happened to Sian over the past two months makes Olivia pessimistic that Sian is such a great man.
Sian has never been so good. He was just an ordinary human being who could feel pain. His heart, however, was not made of steel. Her soft heart was made from a blood clot that could at any time be scratched and injured. And now Sian was feeling a terrible wound in his heart because of the betrayal of his wife who could not appreciate his kindness at all.
While feeling pain in the chest that seemed to be pinching her, Olivia stroked the side of her bed that was always empty. That side felt extremely cold in his palm that was almost frozen due to the void he was feeling right now. He has not been accompanied by anyone since he returned to this house. Sian blatantly declared himself not to approach her as long as she still could not remove the ugly shadows of her chaotic married life. Sian. Sian prefers to sleep in the guest room which has now been claimed to be his eternal room because Sian does not seem to be planning to move to the main room which is currently occupied by him with Scout **.
How sad his heart was every time he woke up without a gentle caress from Sian or without a sweet smile from Sian while muttering good morning hoarsely. He had lost all that warmth because of his own stupidity. With greed he accepted Scout who at that time began to show his love for him. He lets Scout marry him and makes his love for Sian very painful.
“Your baby is crying. Olive?”
He was shocked with a touch that felt like a knife stab in his shoulder. He immediately turned his head towards the man who had surprised him with a bitter smile.
“Sorry, I.. I'm a little tired,” the reply reasoned.
Sian gave a freezing cold look, then he immediately came out from his former room which now felt very cold without any warmth from him.
After Sian closed the door of his room, he immediately slumped his head on his knees which he bent to the chest. Not caring about Scout's screaming voice inside her baby crib, she still cries in the room with her now-hungry baby, waiting for him to feed.
He was no longer able to withstand all this. The cold that Sian had been showing all this time killed him slowly. When he wanted to bring her home from Dallas, Sian promised to love her and the baby no matter what. But now that promise feels fake. Sian never loved him again like he used to. He doesn't even care about Justice.
Her poor little girl has been allowed to grow up without the complete affection of her parents. Perhaps the girl also knew how her mother's condition was so sad that she often returned to Eden's house after returning to school on the grounds of wanting to play with Louise. Though he knew the reason Justice came home to Eden because the girl felt more welcome there than in her own home. Justice feels she has complete parents there. Especially after he lived almost a year with Eden and her children. Sometimes it makes him feel sad. Your child is more comfortable with others.
“Mommy?”
Olivia smiled at the well-groomed Justice. Her dress in the form of a light blue dress expands beautifully on her tiny legs. Behind her, Jesslyn smiled gently at Olivia as she leaned her head through the door with Justice.
“Hai dear, you are ready to go to school with Jesslyn, hmm?”
“She is very excited to go to school, mistress.”
“Hmm of course.” Clamping Justice's nose slowly, Olivia whispered in front of her son's giggling face. “That must be because Louise Lutherford was there too. Ckckck, Eden said she whined about going to school with Louise. He had to plead with the principal so that Justice could be accepted into the pre-school class. Although she became the youngest student there.”
“They are very compact once, mistress. Louise sometimes pranks Justice, but they love each other.”
Olivia smiled gently towards her daughter's nanny. She is very grateful Jesslyn has always been with Justice even though Justice lives in the house of Eden. Jesslyn never went anywhere from Justice's side and still nurtured her well.
“Thanks a lot Jess.”
“Sama-sama madam. Sorry, your baby is crying.”
Holy hooch!
Olivia completely forgot on Scout **. She had been crying for ten minutes, but she let him cry until his voice was almost gone.
“Mommy, why is Scout crying?”
“Ssshhh... darling, mommy is here son. Hungry Scout, Justice,” Olivia said as she stroked Scout's red cheeks slowly.
The baby stomped inside Olivia's sling, voicing protest because her mother had ignored her since.
“You're leaving with daddy?”
“Master Sian has been going to the office since. Seems very rushed to not have time for breakfast.”
Olivia nodded faintly. He was rarely at the dinner table with Sian for breakfast together. Perhaps the last time they were at the same table was two months ago when he first returned to Sian's house.
At that time she was still acting as a wife as usual. He woke up early to cook and prepare all the needs of Sian and his children. At that time he still did not realize Sian's absence in his room as an avoidance because Sian several times reasoned if he overslept in his study while doing the tasks that Aciel gave him. But after a week had passed and Sian still could not find himself by his bedside every time he woke up, he became suspicious.
One morning he came out of the room to confirm the whereabouts of Sian in his study. He walked very slowly on a day that was still too early until the sun had not even appeared in the sky to show its light.
He walked towards Sian's study on the first floor. Then when he opened the room, he was somewhat surprised by the atmosphere of Sian's working room which was very quiet. There are no files scattered on the table as a sign that Sian has been busy working to sleep in that place. Sian's workspace was very clean, only filled with a bottle of Jack Daniels on a table that was empty.
Feeling that Sian had been lying all this time, he then went to the guest bedroom which had been rarely used. But when he opened the wooden door, he saw Sian was on the bed, complete with his gray pajamas. In addition, the guest room occupied by Sian also did not look like newly occupied. The room looked like it had been occupied for a long time since Sian hung his sleeping robe near the closet.
Out of curiosity, he opened the closet in the guest room wide and found some of Sian's clothes hanging neatly inside. The clothes that he never realized had disappeared from the closet in their room, turned out to have been in the closet.
His heart was deeply broken when he learned of the actions of Sian who had deliberately avoided him all this time. He thought Sian was really overtime doing office work, apparently the man just reasoned to avoid it.
Then when Sian woke up and found him daydreaming on the edge of his bed, the man said nothing. He only caught a glimpse of it, then left it for him to go to the bathroom and get ready for the office.
Sian knows he's not stupid. So the man did not need to explain anything about his attitude because he was very sure he must have known what had happened to them all along. But sometimes he really wants to listen to the explanation from Sian. He wanted to know what the man had been feeling and how he could make up for it in order to get an apology from the man.
“Mommy!”
Again, he was surprised because his daydream was just disturbed. His eyes blinked once to adjust to the atmosphere of his room which was very quiet and was only filled by the sound of Justice's screams that sounded annoyed.
“What's the matter dear?”
“Mommy doesn't listen to Justice?”
“Sorry, mommy is thinking something. What's up?”
Olivia slightly adjusted her seat and the position of the baby who was breastfeeding. The little baby's lips look cute when sucking****** its milk with active movement. He should have gone on a rampage a moment ago. He's very hungry.
“Today mommy Eden invited me to go to Hyena.”
“Really? Definitely fun. You can go with mommy Eden, but you have to be a good girl.”
“Aye aye mommy. Bye mommy.”
The girl ran around with her tiny legs. Her wide smile managed to make Olivia's heart feel sore.
Justice looks very happy with Eden. He rarely saw Justice as happy as he was with her. Although Justice has always been a good girl by helping her look after Scout if she is busy preparing for the baby's needs, there is still something that Justice lost when she was with him. The girl lost her happiness as a daughter with her mother.
“Jesslyn please take good care of Justice.”
“I will, ma’am. Then I go first.”
After Jesslyn came out of her room, she cried in her quiet room.
One by one his tears dripped down on the surface of Scout's cheeks that were feeding on him greedily.
But as if aware of the sadness that was being felt by his mother, Scout** whine softly in his mother's arms and then squirm uncomfortably several times as long as his mother cries.
Seeing that Olivia immediately stopped her crying and patted Scout's thigh slowly so that the tiny baby stopped fussing.
“Ssshh... mommy is fine son. Mommy doesn't cry anymore,” whispered Olivia gently in Scout's ear then kissed her cheeks softly full of feeling.
-00-
Landing one more kiss, Aciel then rolls over from the top of Eden's body with ******* satisfied. Never once was he disappointed with Eden's body despite all the years they had been together, both as partners and husband and wife. It may be true what people say about love. If you love someone, you will never get bored of that person. How often you spend time with him, that love will grow bigger every day.
Ahhe... He could not stop being grateful for all the happiness he had gotten so far. His life was already very complete with Eden and also his precious children. It doesn't even feel like the twins will be a year old soon.
Not allowing Eden to fall asleep, Aciel reached out her hand in a slanted position to remove the strands of her hair that stuck to Eden's forehead filled with sweat.
“Ace, don't tease me. I thought you were a little crazy tonight.”
“You sure it's night?”
Raising his blanket to the chin, Eden glanced at the curtains of his room which still showed a dark silhouette from outside their room which faced directly with their spacious home garden.
“Still dark out there.”
“It's four in the morning.”
“Oh Lord! I should go to bed then. My work is still very much so the sun shines bright later,” Eden grumbled.
Clearly Aciel was blocking him who was just about to close his eyes. Whereas if Aciel is very tired, he never interfered with the man's rest. Instead, he let Aciel sleep comfortably without the distraction of his noisy children. Especially Louise if she has begun to seduce Ciara.
“You know, I still miss you a lot, Ed. I think you should come with me to Portugal next week. There is a business trip for three days.”
“You can leave the kids with just the waiters? Ck, Lean is even being very fussy at the moment. She was spoiled for me because her teeth grew and her gums hurt.”
“I also sometimes feel too busy to not have time to spend with them. What does Ciara say about me and my busy life?”
“Daddy sucks!”
Aciel laughed when he heard Eden imitate the style of his eldest son who often protested to his mother because of his super busy father. Last month he did not even come to Ciara's first drama show at school because he happened to be leading a meeting with law enforcement officials to run an anti-air pollution campaign.
“Later after Louise and the twins are a bit big, not only will Ciara protest, you will be protested by your four children, Ace. Ck, don't be too busy, we need you.”
Oh, he won't be able to stand it if Eden starts to show an adorable face complete with a soft caress on her face. Oh shit! He started to get excited again at Eden. He wants to eat Eden's adorable face right now.
“I also need you dear.” Grabbing Eden's hand on his face, he bowed his face before Eden's lips and kissed her with passion.
“I'm never satisfied with you baby.”
Answering Aciel's whisper in front of her swollen lips, Eden then bit Aciel's lips with a teasing bite accompanied by the caress of her expert tongue. He knew Aciel liked being caressed the most in a sexy way.
“Eden, I swear you will never sleep as long as I am here.”
“Don't you dare disturb my sleep.”
Eden ended her caress on Aciel's lips and rolled over Aciel's body. With a mischievous smile she lay on top of her husband's body and ignored Aciel's agonizing moans. In the heart Eden smiled watching her husband tormented beneath her. He was happy to tease Aciel like that all at once
happy to lie on top of Aciel's body while listening to Aciel's melodious heartbeat.
“You deliberately want to torture me, heh?”
“Hmm..” With a murmur Eden replied while placing his hand over Aciel's lips to silence the lips from the protest. But Aciel mischievously licked the palm of Eden in his heart with a swirling motion that felt pleasant to Eden.
“Begini better. I'll sleep well.”
“While I don't. You're a bitch you know?”
The sound of Eden's laughter sounded soft and tickling over his chest. The man took the time to bow his head briefly towards the head of Eden who was twitching in his chest.
“Ace, you know not?”
“No if you don't say it.”
“Ck, I'm serious.”
Eden raised her head in a huff only to see Aciel's grinning face towards her.
“I'm also very serious about eating you now.”
Regardless of Aciel's temptation, Eden again laid her head on Aciel's chest.
“How's Sian doing now? They haven't been here since last month. Only Justice often comes with her nanny.”
“Home is very messed up. Although Sian never talked about it, but she always came to the office with a tangled face.”
“Hmm. Their relationship was no longer the same after that event. I am so grateful for our current situation. Our friends are having problems and we can still spend time together.”
“You mean fuck?” Aciel chuckled softly. He immediately kissed Eden's lips quickly as the woman raised her head to protest.
“Sshh. Jeez my face is red.”
“I told you you were adorable. Honey I want to eat you.”
“I'm tired Ace. By the way Sian has never been on a business trip?”
“He never wants. I took him to Barcelona two weeks ago, he refused. The mood has been bad lately. All the employees in his division complained of his fierce attitude. I've been trying to talk to him, but he's always kink.”
“I think Olivia did too. Every time I called him he just returned the potluck lazily. There was no passion in his voice every time he spoke to me. He was impressed to avoid me. Do you think Sian can accept the baby?”
“If I become him, I better kill him or throw him somewhere. Whatever origin is not
saw it. It would only hurt me every time I saw another boy in my house. I think Sian's condition is like that. He faced inner turmoil due to the fact that he could not accept the presence of the baby like what he had said first.”
“You're right. But I'm proud of her for trying to maintain her domestic relationship for Justice's well-being. The girl was the one who suffered the most in their household matters. Because it's me
it's always nice if he's here and becomes one of my kids. He looks very happy while playing with Ciara, Louise, and the twins.”
“Although I'm a jerk, I also don't like it when I see a child as young as Justice should be a victim of the selfishness of his parents.”
“Then we are indeed very blessed, Ace. I'm happy to have you and the kids. I heard that Laila is now healthy and active again as a doctor. But the result of the accident made one of his ovaries have to be removed. The chances of him having another child will be even more difficult. You know, I cried when she told me about it on the phone. God, we are blessed with four children. Aren't we very lucky Ace?”
Replying to Eden's emotion-filled words, Aciel pinned a soft, long kiss on Eden's head peak.
That woman is not the only one who feels blessed these days. Honestly, he is too. Especially if you look at the condition of the household of his three friends.
“Yesterday Jessica contacted me. The case is done. He won his case. But..”
“But?” eden asked half sleepy. His eyes were already half closed when Aciel deliberately hung up his words.
“But Jessica was under a lot of stress because of that plagiarization. His health condition declined until he was hospitalized. Fortunately now he has recovered from his stress condition after consulting several times on the psychologist.”
“The woman is always happy. I mean, he rarely puts problems in his mind
because he prefers to turn his attention to the designs of the clothes he makes. Yesterday's troubles really ruined his life. What party is making trouble with him not a random person?”
“Not. He's a garment owner who has been running his business for years. All this time the man was sneaky because he felt he had the money to fight the owners of the ideas he usually stole. But this time he was dealing with the wrong person.” Aciel grunting. Imagining Jessica's stubbornness and tenacity, she believes Jessica will definitely win the case.
“Unfortunately they both have the same character. The stubborn Jessica devoted too much of her energy to the case, resulting in severe stress. Kriss used to tell me that Jessica was so worried that she wouldn't win against that cunning bastard. I will gladly give them help. But Kriss subtly rejected it on the grounds that he would ask for my help as a last resort if all his efforts were to fail. But thank goodness they managed to beat that bastard.”
“Sshhh... Ace, you should pay attention to your words.” With a curse Eden put
his palms were above the surface of Aciel's lips. “Especially Louise, she was very fond of mimicking all the words she heard in this house. I didn't want him to imitate those harsh words before he knew what they were for. So please pay attention to the words that come from your lips.”
Aciel kissed Eden's fingers softly feelingly. This was the woman he really wanted to be his wife. A woman who can take good care of her family and not a dandy woman who just likes to squander her property.
“You know Ed, my greatest fortune is to have you. You have managed to break all my doubts about having a family and you have managed to eliminate all my trauma because of my parents' failure to carry out their roles as parents. Because of you, I managed to become a father and a blessed husband. Thanks Ed. Thank you very much.”
The subtle snoring sound in his chest and the regular movement of Eden's breath that felt soft on top of his body instantly made Aciel laugh. He gently kissed the top of Eden's head and then tightened their bodies to get warmer by hugging Eden tightly in his chest. Then he closed his eyes with Eden and began to release all the disgusting fatigue by sleeping with Eden in peace that wrapped their bodies warmly together.
“Good night sweetheart,” murmured Aciel.
