"You want this? Or this?" Brennan held an apple and an orange in each hand.
"No need for both." Arina shook her head spoiled.
"Then what do you want? Honey, from the morning you haven't even eaten anything." Brennan looks really worried about the woman.
"I want to be hugged." Arina stretched out both her hands while putting on a spoiled expression.
"Kh..." Brennan clucked, not upset but he was anxious with his future wife. Finally, he just obeyed Arina's wishes. Brennan hugged Arina and let the woman he loved continue to sniff her scent. During the few days of being hospitalized, Arina did act strange and spoiled to him.
"I'm hungry now." Arina grinned without shame let alone feelings of guilt.
"I'll prepare food for you." Brennan immediately prepared the food he had bought before Arina changed her mind. As soon as the food was ready, he quickly fed Arina. All because he was really worried about the woman he loved, especially the woman is now pregnant with their baby.
"It's so bad." Praise Arina for the excitement.
"Because I'm the one who bribed you." Brennan chuckles at his future wife.
"I'm full." Arina finally refused the bribe of the man who for a few days had been painstakingly taking care of her.
"It's a drink first." Brennan gave him a bottle of mineral water and immediately absorbed the contents until half was left.
"Well..." Arina sighed in relief.
"Uh..the bride-to-be is very friendly." Syene who just arrived with Griffith immediately teased the two.
"Sheene..." Arina whined spoiled and spread out her hands asking for a hug from the older sister.
"Have you been satisfied?" Syene cooed her sister's nose.
"We are three not both." Arina's repulsion while stroking her stomach.
"Huh.it's up." Syene rolled her lazy eyes. If remembered again, a few days ago his sister was crying because she did not want the pregnancy. But look now, Arina looks so happy even so spoiled to the father of her fetus as if they were indeed lovers who loved each other from the beginning.
"Ecchem..." The loud sound of a person's dullness made the carefree atmosphere instantly feel awkward and stiff.
"Father, Mama..." Arina smiled and greeted her parents. Arlin immediately hugged his daughter while Richard was still staring intently at Brennan who was standing as a bodyguard beside Arina.
"Have you eaten?" Asked Arlin softly.
"Already Ma, Brennan was bribing me." Arina smiled shyly.
"Good." Arlin smiled stroking his daughter's cheek.
"Papa, is Papa still mad at me? Don't want to hug me?" Arina looked at her father. The father who is still plagued with guilt until now also immediately rushed to embrace him.
"I'm sorry you hurt me." Richard tried to look strong as a man as well as the head of the household.
"I'm not mad at Papa." Arina chuckled letting go of her father's embrace.
"Pa, I want to go to the park. Just the two with Papa." Pinta Arina smiled sweetly.
"Come on." Richard gave his arm to the princess as a grip.
"I'm out first." Arina whispers to Brennan before he exits the room.
"I'm sure Arina can definitely convince uncle. And Uncle Ric won't be able to resist the wishes of his beloved daughter." Syene hugged Arlin.
"Hopefully Arina we can make our Richard melt." Arlin stared at the door as if watching his husband and daughter speak.
"It could be aunty. Take it easy, Arina always has a way to convince Uncle Ric. Aunty must have remembered when she was a child that did not allow us to go camping when it was a mandatory activity from school. I failed to convince Uncle but Arina, can do that well." Syene smiled remembering her childhood.
"Here you go, we're sure of him." Syene glanced at Brennan who looked riled up while Griffith just casually lay on the sofa.
"Yes already, aunty came out for a while to buy something. You guys just wait here." Arina broke away from Syene and was about to get out.
"Mrs, let me drive you." Brennan and Arlin accepted it with pleasure.
"Griff, we're left behind." Syene whines spoiled near her lover.
"So? You want to go home?" Fresh Griffith relax.
"Em..later tonight I still have to do my job." Syene accepted the offer from her future husband.
"But before that, we go to my mansion first." Griffith got up and grabbed Syene's hand. The two of them sauntered out of the room walking down the corridor towards the parking lot.

"Where are they all?" Arina is confused not to find anyone in her room.
"Maybe you're out to buy something or something." Richard helped his daughter to lie down.
"Would you eat something or fruit?" Richard asked as he rubbed the sweat grains on his daughter's forehead.
"No Pa. It's gonna be Brennan's here." Arina smiled at her father.
Richard could not speak anymore. He was a father, and clearly knew the meaning of his daughter's smile. If this is the case, could Richard still have to be selfish and hold back his daughter's happiness?
"Ric, Arina, are you back?" Arlin approached the two men.
"It has. Where's mom from? Alone?" Arina dyed looking for Brennan and the others.
"So Mama with Brennan. But he's still outside, he just happened to cross paths with his business partner." Obviously Arina while taking out some food that she had already bought.
"Ma, I want that apple. It looks fresh." Pinta Arina pointed at some apples in the bag.
"So, Mama wash for you." Arlin took one apple and washed it.
"You're peeled?" Tanya Arlin gave a choice.
"No way." Arina shook her head while smiling widely.
"Yes, this." Arlin handed him the apple and Arina accepted.
The pregnant woman looked so eagerly biting and chewing on the red fruit.
"Darling, you've been..back?" Brennan, who was initially excited, was forced to lower his voice when he found Richard staring at him sharply.
"Brenn, I miss you." Arina returned spoiledly stretching out her arms to collect a hug from Brennan.
The man complied, but felt bad about the two parents of the woman especially with Richard. Arlin just smiled happily at his daughter who was so spoiled with others other than himself, her husband, or Syene. Arlin also glanced at her husband who actually did not like to see Brennan touch his daughter, but his lips displayed a thin smile looking at his daughter's bright smile.
"Honey, Mama and Papa go home first. Tomorrow we'll come again." Arlin approached Richard and hugged his husband's arm.
"Good Ma. Papa and Mama be careful." Arina smiled waving her hand.
"Well..." Brennan breathed a sigh of relief after her two would-be-in-laws left.
"What did you say to your father?"
