Time seemed to pause for a moment, when suddenly the distance of their faces became so very close. Caitlyn, who had been trying not to look at each other, now saw clearly how the eyes of Owen.
Caitlyn was stunned, her heart was currently even racing. However, not because of seeing the figure of Owen, but Sean, the beloved husband.
"South." Caitlyn subconsciously calls Owen by the name of her late husband. The woman momentarily forgot, that the man before her was now Owen, the twin brother of Sean, who had also just officially become her husband yesterday.
Hearing Caitlyn's call, Owen's countenance changed. The man rushed to straighten the wife's body, before then releasing himself.
Caitlyn gasped in surprise. "Owen," he called.
"It's okay, Cait. I understand how you feel" Owen said with a smile. However, for some reason, Caitlyn could feel that the smile was not reaching the eyes of the husband.
As if nothing had happened, Owen returned to being Caitlyn's impromptu tour guide. Although the atmosphere between them was no longer as bright as before.
Satisfied to explore the warehouse - which is actually more worthy of being called a mini-museum - both of them returned home.
Seeing the arrival of her parents, Chloe and Wayne immediately ran over. They are very enthusiastic about retelling the children's film that has just been watched.
"You guys happy?" ask Owen.
Chloe and Wayne compactly nodded their heads.
"Then, what if tonight, we go to the movies together?"
Hearing the offer of his new uncle and father, the two children immediately agreed. They were talking to each other about a movie that was about to be watched.
Caitlyn, who was sitting next to Owen, smiled at their interaction. However, at the same time the feeling of guilt returned.
Owen loves Chloe and Wayne. From before marriage, he never considered them just as nephews.
While himself? It is hard to tell the difference between Owen and Sean. Almost every time, Caitlyn always saw the figure of Owen as Sean who was gone.
Caitlyn tried to stretch out her hand to touch Owen, but the man instead moved to hold their two children.
"Then, after lunch, you will have to take a nap first" Owen said.
Caitlyn hastily got up from her position. The woman's eyes stared at Owen's steadfast back with a feeling of guilt.
After lunch was over, both Caitlyn and Owen immediately escorted their two children to the room, to take a nap.
It didn't take long for them to make sure that the two boys had slept.
"Rest me, I will be busy in the office space" said Owen, as the two had just exited the room.
Caitlyn nodded. "You need anything? I'll make it. Maybe a cup of ginger tea and co—"
"Hook!" cut Owen. "I just need to finish my job for a little while. It won't be long" he continued, smiling wryly.
Without waiting for a response from him, the man had already stepped away.
Caitlyn fell silent. It felt like something was missing with Owen gone.
"I'm sorry" the woman murmured softly.
...**********...
Owen immediately sat himself in the chair of the study. His head looked up, staring at the ceiling of the room with a cloudy look.
Owen actually knew that Caitlyn had always seen him as Sean. However, never once did he get it wrong to call like that.
All this time Owen tried to look fine, but not with today. Being called out blatantly turns out to bring Owen's heart into a pit of deep pain.
Owen, who was convinced that he could live in harmony with Caitlyn, suddenly hesitated. Because, it could be just him who is struggling to get to that stage.
Owen straightened himself. Slowly he opened the desk drawer and found a worn-out black wallet inside.
Very carefully, the man opened the wallet. There is an old photo sheet embedded in the wallet. It was a photo of her, Sean, and Caitlyn, taken just a month before she disappeared.
"Look at me, Cait," said Owen as he stroked Caitlyn's sweet portrait. However, his face instantly turned cold as he looked at the man standing on the other side of Caitlyn.
Owen's chest rumbled. In his heart he swore he would never forgive his twin, even though he had to wallow in hell once.
...**********...
Caitlyn smiled widely, after putting her last plate on the table. Tonight he did deliberately cook a lot of food, as a form of his apology to Owen indirectly.
Soon Owen came to the dining table with a gasp face. "What event is it?" tanyanya.
"none. I just want to spend my energy in the kitchen. Think of it as a special event, before going to the movies," said Caitlyn.
Owen smiled. He sat down and thanked Caitlyn. The four then ate with a pleasant atmosphere.
As Owen had promised, they were getting ready to go to the cinema.
Owen had already booked the tickets online earlier, so, they didn't have to leave in a hurry.
Caitlyn is seen running towards her room after finishing taking care of Chloe and Wayne. The woman forgot to prepare Owen's clothes, being too busy with her two sons and daughters.
Caitlyn sped up her pace, before Owen walked out of the bathroom. However, as she opened the door of their room, an incredible sight caught Caitlyn's sense of sight.
Because, Owen with a body just wrapped around a towel, was busy sorting out clothes in the closet.
Caitlyn was misbehaving, she was about to leave the room right then and there. However, her husband caught her already.
Caitlyn could not escape. After the incident at the warehouse earlier, he did not want to offend Owen anymore. So, as if unaffected, Caitlyn walked up to Owen and helped him pick up clothes.
"Sorry, I was too busy taking care of Chloe and Wayne earlier," Caitlyn said without looking at Owen.
"It's okay." Answer Owen. The man was holding back his smile, when he noticed the nervous look on Caitlyn's face. He was sure, the woman was trying not to look him in the eye.
"Cait," call Owen.
"Yes, is there anything you need again?" ask Caitlyn while she's down. Inwardly, he tried to erase the memory of the athletic body of Owen, which had caught his eye.
"Cait," call Owen again.
"Y—ya!" exclaim Caitlyn exasperated.
Owen exhaled. "I just found out, you'd rather look at my feet when you're talking" she licked.
Caitlyn's getting the wrong way. "I have to prepare too. Come out when you're done changing clothes!" Without looking at Owen, Caitlyn ran as fast as lightning into the bathroom.
Owen laughed a little. "Hurry to turn to me" the man murmured.
