During a hot day, Jillian's brain and heart were made to boil. Because the personal guards that Jeffran had assigned to follow Jillian for these few days, completely restricted Jillian's wiggle room, even though they were keeping watch from a distance.
Jillian's intention to accept Ethan's invitation to lunch at the campus foodcourt, she is forced to cancel via text message. Because I don't want Ethan to get in trouble because of him. Jillian chose to go to a bookstore in a mall, because there was no lecture schedule that she had to follow.
Actually, Jeffran's goal was to assign some of the bodyguards, not only to keep Jillian safe, but also to watch Jillian's movements wherever Jillian was.
Unbeknownst to Jillian, Jillian's bodyguards have been given a special message to report to her in the event of an emergency. The emergency Jeffran was referring to, not only if something bad happened to Jillian. However, if there are men who look familiar with Jillian, then they must report to Jeffran.
'I'm not jealous to see Jillian with another man, I'm just afraid Jillian's messing around out there. To ruin my good name and my family.' Jeffran's pretext for his attitude that began to be possessive towards Jillian.
Jeffran actually felt his attitude was a little excessive by placing several personal guards around Jillian. He who is the CEO of a large company and has many enemies in the business world, chose not to have a personal bodyguard. I don't want to have her privacy compromised. Jeffran chose to equip himself with martial skills and firearms, rather than hiring a personal bodyguard to guard himself.
Pregnancy books were targeted by Jillian. As a lay woman with various processes in pregnancy, she felt the need to find as much information as possible, in order to carry out her pregnancy well.
"Jill.." Jillian reflexively turned her head towards the source of the voice.
"Son Ethan.." A surprised expression was clearly visible on Jillian's face, in contrast to Ethan who looked increasingly handsome with a smile adorning his face.
A moment later, Jillian was seen circulating her gaze in all directions. And he immediately felt anxious to find a sharp gaze from the personal guards who were standing guard from a distance of approximately 15 meters.
Jillian chooses to walk out of the bookstore, followed by Ethan who is completely unaware there are several pairs of eyes that are watching him at this time. Jillian sits on a park bench outside a bookstore, and Ethan sits next to her.
"Jill.. I feel like for these few days, you keep avoiding me. Did I make a mistake that offended or disliked you? Sorry if I accidentally did it." Jillian turned her face toward Ethan. He feels guilty to see Ethan who instead apologizes to him, but he is the one who always refuses to meet from Ethan, because he does not want Ethan to get into trouble.
"Sorry Ethan, I didn't mean it that way. Brother didn't do anything wrong to me." Jillian's answer still hasn't satisfied Ethan's curiosity.
"Jill.. Can we talk over lunch? I really wanted to hear your answer regarding my proposal the other day. I've given you a few days to think, it seems like it's time you made your decision. I'm really serious about my intentions."
"Jillian already has a husband, she can't possibly accept your proposal." Jeffran's appearance and words really surprised Ethan, as well as Jillian who immediately rounded his eyes.
"Sister Jeffran? You mean Jillian's married? Who's Sis with? Why don't I know?" A row of questions came out of Ethan's mouth.
There was a pain in Ethan's heart, hearing the bitter truth from Jeffran's mouth. She falls in love with Jillian, who Jordan always tells her about. Yes, Ethan's love has grown a long time, even since Jordan was still around. But there is no intention at all for Ethan, to take Jillian out of Jordan's hands. He always supports and prays for Jordan, to always be happy with Jillian.
But now there is a sense of unwillingness, knowing that someone he loves has officially become the property of others. Although Ethan is very sure, that Jillian and Jeffran married without love.
Without saying much, Jeffran immediately pulled Jillian's hand to go with him. Leaving Ethan still dissolved in his disappointment. Ethan could only stare at Jillian's back which was getting further away from his sight.
'Do I have to fight to take Jillian from Brother Jeffran? I'm sure there's no love between them. I'm gonna ask Jillian this. If Jillian really doesn't love Brother Jeffran, then I'll take her from Brother Jeffran.' Ethan said in his heart.

Arriving at the apartment, Jillian, who was very upset by Jeffran's usual attitude, chose to walk to her room. But Jeffran's stern voice and hand checks stopped his steps. So forced, Jillian follows Jeffran's orders to talk to him in the TV room.
"What do you want to talk about?" Ask Jillian without further ado.
"Never be close to any man, as long as you're still married to me." Said Jeffran with a serious facial expression accompanied by a sharp eye full of threats.
"alright. When are we getting divorced?" Jillian replied in a relaxed tone, upsetting Jeffran.
"Why? Are you looking forward to getting a divorce with me, so you can have a relationship with Ethan?"
Jillian responded to Jeffran's accusation with her cynical smile, even Jillian deliberately challenged Jeffran with her sharp unsheathed eyes.
"No need to reverse the facts, you yourself are impatient to get divorced and free from your responsibilities. But remember, forever I will never give up my son to you." Jillian stood up and turned around to go to her room. But Jeffran's words again undo his intentions.
"Imresponsible? Actually I have no responsibility whatsoever to you and the child in your womb. If it wasn't for my parents as well as Jordan, I wouldn't want to marry you and give my name to the child in your womb." Jeffran's turn to review his cynical smile, provoked Jillian's emotions that were almost ubun-tubun.
"I hold your word. Never change your mind, no matter what. Because I really won't hand my son over to you." Jillian said, then walked with big steps towards her room.
