Embrace Love's

Ch 160s. Tell her

Alric pulled out a chair in front of Luigi's doctor's desk.

"Sit down, Mary."

Mary nodded and sat down with her hands folded in her lap. His eyes immediately looked at the doctor Luigi who was sitting opposite him with a wide smile. Mary looked at the doctor barely blinking.

"Doctor Luigi ..." call Alric, the man was already sitting next to Marylin and glanced at his wife who was looking at the handsome doctor in front of her.

"Yes, Mr Lucca?"

"Look at the effect your smile has on my wife. He looks at you fascinated. I was so jealous" said Alric.

Mary was very surprised, turned to her husband, and began to flutter.

"I'm not fascinated" said Mary. She felt very embarrassed in front of Luigi because of her husband's words.

Doctor Luigi just laughed, Alric also laughed.

"How are you feeling? I hope there are no meaningful complaints?"

Marylin just shook her head. "No. I feel fine, Doc."

"That's great. Let's see the baby." Luigi lets Mary get on the check bed, and she begins preparations for the USG.

"Your wife ... isn't it time?" alric asked while waiting for Luigi's doctrines to begin.

"Yes. Just waiting for the day" Luigi said in a happy tone.

"A princess" Luigi explained again without asking.

"G ... You must be very happy. "

Luigi simply replied with a nod. Then when the examination began, he explained the condition of Marylin's baby, healthy and everything was normal as expected. But Luigi waited to say about the gender of Alric's baby.

After helping Mary get up, and sit back in her chair. Alric's curious face could no longer be hidden. Luigi smiled broadly at the face of the father-to-be.

"He's going to be a beautiful baby" Luigi said.

A big smile Alric rose. He snapped his finger. "I know my feelings are right! Baby girl!"

Doctor Luigi chuckled at the enthusiastic tone in Alric's voice. Then she glanced at Mary who was just smiling at her husband's reaction.

"Congratulations, Mary, Alric."

"Thank you, Luigi. You too, may Natalia have a smooth delivery later." Mary looked sincerely at the doctor. He had heard about a married couple whose initial relationship did not go well, just like his relationship with Alric at the beginning. But now, it seemed that the doctor was happy.

Mary glanced at Alric who kept smiling while talking to Luigi's doctor. Alric looked happy, Mary felt the same way. Unknowingly he stroked the top of his own stomach that was opening.

**********

In the afternoon at the Lucca Mansion, Mary's room is being transformed into a nursery. Annete looked at the end result of the installation of wallpaper on the wall in the room. His eyes sparkled with pleasure. Mary told Ann to choose the color and the image to be used.

He turned around with a smile, imagining the presence of his granddaughter who would soon occupy the baby box that was already in the room.

Then the sound of steps approaching and the door being pushed open made Ann turn her head. Mary stood there with a big smile.

"I know you must be here."

"What's looking for me, honey?"

"Gray's looking for you, Ann. There's something he wants to ask her to say."

"Oh, I'll see him soon." Annete approached the exit, and Mary went inside and stared at the walls of her room that had changed.

"It's beautiful" said Mary.

"I'm glad you like it, honey. Thank you for handing over the color selection to me," Annete said as he pulled the door and prepared to exit. Annete heard Mary laughing then while walking towards the baby box, Mary who was staring with a glaring gaze unconsciously said.

"Your grandchildren will love it, Ann. The room is lovely and cheerful."

Annete who had just stepped out was stunned, he turned his head towards his daughter-in-law. But Mary looks ordinary, the woman looked down and stroked the baby mattress in the box. Deciding to pretend not to hear, Annete continued his steps going downstairs looking for Gray.

I need to talk to Alric. My feelings somehow ...

Annete shook his head repeatedly. Expelling the bad thoughts and shadows in her brain imagining Mary would stare at him with a disappointed and angry look ... Ann lied, Alric lied ...

**********

After dinner, that was felt back a bit strange according to Alric and Annete. Mary again forces Annete to eat one table with them. Chattering cheerfully like nothing happened. Annete tries to act normal, but towards the end of the dinner, he looks at Alric and codes through his eyes. They should talk.

After chatting together, Alric and Ann waited for Mary to retreat to rest. Reasoning also to want to rest, Annete paused and passed back to his room, but he peeked, looked and waited as Mary climbed into his room above, and Alric purposely walked into his study downstairs on the grounds that he wanted to check something out.

After being sure Mary was in her room. Annete goes to meet Alric in his son's study.

"Alric .. your wife is a little weird. Something changed, sometimes I felt like he was looking at me for a long time, but when I asked him he just smiled and shook his head. Not answering."

"Yes. I think we should tell him, Mom. We can't keep this hidden. Mary's emotions are stable. He also seems to love you very much. So I guess, if you tell him, he'll take it well."

"What! No, no, no. It's not me who's gonna say it, but you, my son! You're gonna tell him the truth. Also the reason why we keep it a secret."

"Mom .. he'll be more open if you say it."

"No. I'm gonna be so nervous. That's yourjob! You should tell Mary tonight. Then persuade him, and then do all that needs to be done so that he does not get angry .. lest he come back not to trust us anymore, Alric."

Alric frowned, then scratched his non-itchy head. Not only his mother is nervous, he will also be nervous and a little afraid of his wife's reaction later.

"I'm afraid the reaction wasn't good, Mom."

"Jeez .. I am too. But we have to say it, Alric."

"I know ...."

"Tonight. Tell her!"

"Uh .. Okay, Mom."

After agreeing, the two separated. Ann returns to her room and Alric climbs upstairs to her room thinking hard, putting together a fitting word to convey the secret between her and Annete to Mary.

Alric came in and saw Mary on the bed with the blanket covered to the chest and a magazine spread out on the lap. His wife leaned on the head of the bed and smiled when she came in.

"His job done?"

"Yes .. there's really nothing I do. I was just talking to Annete for a minute." Alric looked at Mary who had returned to the magazine and turned the sheets. He stood still and waited for Mary's reaction to her words.

But Mary only raised her face for a moment, looked at her and said a short 'oh' before looking back down again at her magazine sheet again.

Alric decided to go into the bathroom, preparing himself for sleep. Afterwards he walked in a closet and changed his clothes only with a room robe.

Alric came closer to the bed and climbed up. He leaned next to Mary. Mary turned her head when she felt her husband's arms begin to encircle her waist. He simply gave a faint smile and returned the focus to the magazine. While looking for words to start the conversation about Annete, Alric kissed the innocent shoulder of his wife, covered only by the string of her satin nightgown, then moved to the woman's neck.

"What's so interesting in the magazine? I've been by your side, and you don't want to let go either" whispered Alric as he bit his wife's ear.

Mary giggled amusedly. " Oh, stop it!"

"I see first, who's calling." Mary got up, put on her bedroom slippers and stepped towards the sofa in the room, her phone placed on the sofa.

Upon seeing the caller's name, Mary smiled widely and immediately accepted the call.

"Serge!" he screams at the cell phone he just put in his ear.

"Good, baby! You want to make my ears break!"

After laughing happily at the voice of Serge Mary began to step back and forth in the room while telling stories with a cell phone in his ear.

"When are you home!?"

"Because you said the wedding was postponed, I didn't take the day off. But soon the work here will be done. So I'll go home and of course I'll go see you. I want to see what you're like now."

"What will I look like in your shadow?"

"You're gonna look so ugly! Everywhere is like carrying a ball that big under your clothes." Serge sounded chuckled. Makes Mary pucker her lips.

"Although you still want to see me, right!? You miss me."

Serge laughing. " Of course, Marylin. I can't wait to see you and Catalina. I'm glad he's improving .. tell him I'm sorry I haven't had time to go swipe."

"What's wrong. Lina knows your job a lot and you're a long way off. She's fine now."

Mary was unaware of her husband's back and forth eyeballs following his pacing movements. Alric saw a big laugh, a giggling smile, a joke he heard from Mary's conversation with Serge. She also glanced at the bottom of the soft, loose and comfortable satin dress for the pregnant woman that Mary wore moved swinging along the woman's steps. The dress was only hooked on the shoulder by a single thin and small strap, due to her enlarged belly, the lower part of the dress skirt looked slightly raised following the height of Mary's belly.

While staring and listening, Alric waited patiently. Mary's mood really looked good after the conversation was over.

The phone finally came off and was placed on the nightstand. Then Mary turned to her husband with a face.

"That was Serge. I really miss him."

Alric just smiled, then he rubbed his face with a heavy sigh.

"What's wrong?" mary asked as she climbed onto the bed and sat facing Alric with a frown.

"Your head hurts again?"

"No. I'm just a little sad" said Alric, putting on a pathetic look.

"Why?"

"So magazine ... Now Serge ...."

Mary laughs. " You feel neglected, huh?"

" Slight ... Come here," Alric reached out, pulled Mary over and arranged a position for Mary to lean against her chest.

"You know ... Serge said I was like carrying a big ball everywhere under my shirt" Mary said with a laugh.

"But it still looks tempting .. walk back and forth in a short dress whose ends are slightly raised because of this ...." Alric stroked Mary's stomach. "Hair unraveling, lips full of smiles .. you look sexy ...."

Mary pinched Alric's coiled arm on her stomach. "You started to seduce," he said with laughter.

"Yes." Yeah." Then with one hand, Alric pulled his wife's chin to turn his head and he could kiss her. Soft and friendly kiss and long. After the link of the lips came off and their eyes looked at each other with sparkling gazes, Alric decided to start the conversation.

"Mary .. There's something I want to say."

"Hm? What's up?"

"Promise me .. You can be mad at me, but don't blame Annete, he has a good reason for doing it."

Mary was silent. He knew, but waited for Alric or Annete to tell him honestly.

"Annete's not really my employee. He did not work in this mansion at all. He lied back then at the Cougar Mansion when he said he worked there. He said it so you could let him stay near you, so he could be by your side. You're going through a terrible thing because of me, and he feels partly responsible .. he ...."

Alric stopped, he lowered his head, looked at Mary who had completely turned his head and looked towards him.

"He ... he why Alric? Ann?"

"Actually ... Annete is ...." Alric stopped again, gulping to smooth his throat.

"Your mother?"

Alric was stunned, looking at Mary in surprise.

"You know what?"

Mary nodded. " I heard you call him, Mom. Then a few days later, I started seeing Annete and the whole way he was acting. Gray was very polite and followed all his directions. Then I recalled everything from the beginning of our meeting. The way Jacob behaved to Annete at the Cougar Mansion. Also the way the whole waiter behaved to her .. Tell me, Alric. Everything ...."

Alric took a look at every corner of his wife's face. He found no anger or disappointment. With a relieved smile he finally told her everything from the beginning.

"You forgive Mom, don't you? I also .. I'm sorry," whispered Alric in Mary's ear leaning back against her chest comfortably.

"Ann did it for me, Alric. What am I complaining about? He loves me, I feel it without needing him to say it. I'm just sorry you didn't tell me sooner. I'm not polite just call her Ann ..you also call her name .. when she's your mother ...."

Alric kissed Mary's temple. " We'll see him in the morning and apologize."

Mary nodded.

"He was worried. Afraid you're angry and disappointed in him."

Mary shook her head. " I may be disappointed. I have a mother, who loves me and cares for me .. also accepts me as I am .. I am lucky." Mary's voice sounded choked.

"Shhh .. Don't start crying now, dear. I'm lucky .. Thank you for forgiving me and for loving me."

Mary turned to face Alric. Buried her face into her husband's robe and closed her eyes. "You love me?"

"Yes, I love you. Don't doubt that for a second."

"Mmm... Have you prepared a name for your daughter?"

Alric smiled broadly. He tightened the grip of both arms.

"Of course." Alric put his lips to Mary's ears. "Valencia ...."

"Valencia Ynes Lucca ..." whispered Mary.

" Hum um ... Val will be a strong girl, also firm .. I think she will also be beautiful like her mother ...."
