Isabelle is happy today, because she had a weekend off work and could spend time with her baby, little baby Michael.
Since the morning Isabelle had been preparing for a walk, she bathed Michael first, dressed in cute clothes that made the handsome baby look even more adorable.
The young mother was so happy to be with the little one all day. The first thing he did was to visit a florist that he had not been to for more than a month.
After tidying up the shop he went back for a walk with Michael, Isabelle took the little guy for a walk to the city park with quite cool air.
Breezy wind flew long strands of Isabelle's hair that she accidentally stalls. While pushing the pram, he greeted several people who were also visiting the park.
What a happiness that he could not exchange for anything, Isabelle was happy because Michael also looked happy.
"Are you happy, honey?" isabelle exclaimed at Michael, the baby seemed to respond and his hands stretched out like he wanted to reach for the toy his mother was holding.
"You like this?" Isabelle invites her baby to talk while showing her a funny-voiced rubber toy.
"Oh, I love you so much!" Isabelle kissed the baby with anxiety, not just once but she gave a lot of kisses on the baby's face.
Isabelle sat on a park bench to rest for a while after a long day of walking, she was tired but all of that paid off with Michael's excitement.
The smile on the woman's face did not fade, it seemed like she had forgotten about all the problems she had been facing lately.
...
Xander family residence ...
Jake is gathering with the family for lunch, with his father, mother, and younger sister-Monique Xander.
Young lady with elegant style and smart look. Jake rarely met his brother because they both managed a branch of the Xander family-owned company.
They ate in silence, everyone seemed to be not talking to each other. Cold, it was a visible impression of the interaction of every member of the Xander family.
"Mama is happy, it's rare that we can gather like this" said a middle-aged woman who still looks fresh.
The woman is the mother of Jake, she just tried to melt the atmosphere in the middle of an uncomfortable atmosphere.
"My work is a lot, Mama!" monique answered her mother.
"I know the California branch has always been smooth, without problems, and your staff Saturday and Sunday are closed" said Jake, who kept his brother quiet, "and I think you have plenty of time to visit Mama."
Monique looked calm but the older sister knew that the young woman was being cornered and angry at the remark.
Both of his parents were silent as well, they did not dare to make a sound for fear of adding to the atmosphere would be even more chaotic.
Jake and Monique always insinuate each other when they meet, Jake always thinks that his sister is too busy with his personal affairs without thinking about the parents who always miss and wait for his arrival.
"At least I don't know the bad guys who always use me, and don't end up with a scam that shames the family" Monique said.
Jake's face looks hardened, of course he understands that his sister insinuated about a fake marriage that he experienced some time ago.
Jake's clenched hands held back the emotion, and his memory returned to Isabelle who was the main culprit of the scam.
"Don't think you're better than me, Jake! I may not care for Papa and Mama, but at least I don't embarrass them with cheap scandals" Monique replied.
"You- ...."
"Easy! Papa and Mama don't want this issue to continue to be discussed, Jake will get married soon, we hope the old scandal will soon be erased and changed to something better," said Miguel Xander who had been silent since.
Jake and Monique immediately fell silent after her father said so. Miguel Xander with high charisma was able to silence the mouths of his two children.
"Jake's scandal only affected his status, while Monique was too busy to be perfect." Miguel said in a heavy voice typical of a strict adult man.
"Saranku, be yourself. It's not about who is the best, but who wants to do good" the man continued.
"I think that woman has reason to cheat Jake- ...."
"Of course for the money" said Monique.
"Money isn't everything" Miguel replied as Monique cut her speech.
"I never knew who he was" Jake said, explaining that he didn't stay cornered.
"No one was harmed by this case, no matter what the woman meant" Miguel said.
"Employer Jake class will not be difficult to find the identity of the impostor if he wants," said Monique with a tone of satire.
"Ah, is it possible that he's actually met the woman but she's keeping it a secret?" monique.
Jake is unable to look into his sister's eyes any longer, he is afraid that the secret in his heart will come to the surface and he can guess easily.
Somehow he kept Isabelle's identity a secret and hid that he had met and even seen her every day.
Isabelle is indeed a troublemaker for him, Jake feels stupid and becomes a coward for not acting decisively to the impostor.
"Jake's wedding is coming soon, it's all gone, a time that will make us all forget this" Jake's mother said, the woman was trying to relieve the tension of the three people who both had stubborn natures.
Jake could only sigh, he was annoyed and hated at Isabelle who had made his life chaotic, the woman's name was like a thorn that stuck in his life.
...
On a hot day for Isabelle and baby Michael, the young mother decides to return home worried about the baby's comfort, after all, now was the time for the little prince to take a nap.
After unwinding and putting Michael to sleep, the young woman also took a break in her simple workroom.
Just checking the flower shop management documents that have been more than a month does not generate income because it continues to be closed.
Isabelle thinks that until when she will be working for her ex-husband, she will have to take care of Michael and manage the shop alone.
"How is this?" muttered. He thought between giving up the shop and quitting his job now.
However, the florist was the only hope for Michael's future, at least he didn't need to find another job without leaving his little baby stranded.
"Are all the flower seeds I brought home?" He was still monologuing with a stack of paper that was within his grasp.
An idea came to his mind, he could just hand over the florist to Jake and he moved to open a shop in one part of his house.
It's better anyway that he can get away from Jake and not deal with the guy anymore.
Tok-tok ...
The young mother's daydream soon broke when she heard the knocking of the door, without a second thought she immediately went to greet someone who might be visiting.
Isabelle's eyes were glued when she saw who was visiting, when the door opened she saw the man in a neat suit smiling kindly at her.
"Good day, Miss Aringwyn! Remember me?"
Isabelle gulped when she heard the man ask. Of course he remembered who the man who owned the bright smile because yesterday they met in the office space Jake Xander.
"Sean Wood" said the man, making Isabelle smile stiffly. The man is an old friend of the brother and of course he is a friend of his ex-husband as well.
"For a long time no see, Isabelle!" Sapa Sean looked down to line her face with Isabelle's face shorter than hers.
"A-ah, i-yeah," Isabelle replied nervously.
No, not only was he nervous but he was anxious because there were so many questions in his head.
Why did Sean suddenly come? What does that man want? What if he finds out about Michael? What if she finds out that Jake is also her ex-husband?
"Can I come in, I want to reminisce in this house, remember my old friend" Sean said.
Isabelle sighed and smiled. He felt guilty for thinking badly of Sean, maybe the man just stopped by for a while and he did not have to worry about many things.
However, that temporary calm soon vanished when the little one suddenly cried in his sleep. Isabelle immediately turned her attention to the bedroom door and Sean heard the voice very clearly.
"Infant?" sean asks, it makes Isabelle can only bite the lips because the secret that he hid will be known to Sean.
"He- ...."
