Silence in the dining room. Helen accidentally invites Abbey and Rylee to enjoy breakfast together. They did not refuse, but Van was uncomfortable.
A few weeks did not meet the Abbey, so today they were reunited with a completely uncomfortable atmosphere.
"Van, this is my friend Abbey. Why do you not care about him? He's also a former secretary at your company" Helen said.
"I know, but I don't think we need to talk. He came here to see you, not me!" Van glanced at her with a look of annoyance and looked very upset.
Abbey doesn't care. It was precisely Rylee who looked annoyed at this moment. He felt Van thought Abbey was a problem for him.
"Van,–"
"Rylee, stop! I don't like your actions." Abbey purposely prevented him from causing a commotion. "We're just here to have a party at the nightclub. I invited you guys."
Rylee's eyes immediately glared. Abbey's decision seems far-fetched. Her condition is pregnant and she can be sure not to consume alcoholic beverages.
"Abbey, you can't consume alcohol. Remember, you're pregnant!" reproof Rylee.
"Yes, Abbey. Why a nightclub? If you miss your friends, I'm ready to make room here. If you just eat a drink, it doesn't matter." Helen tried to give input. Moreover, this was a good plan to get Van into a direct relationship with Anne.
"Just forget about making an event at home, Helen. Today I'm going home tonight!" Van left his seat intending to go into the room and then go to the office.
"I don't think there's any harm in inviting Thanos and Anne. They are also part of our friendship!" Helen called it.
Van stopped for a moment. He smiled as he walked back to his room. It was a long time after going to the jewelry store with Anne the other day that made Helen suspicious. However, Van continued to avoid these accusations.
"It's not a serious problem, is it?" ask Abbey.
Helen shakes. He continued his breakfast quietly. He occasionally glanced at Abbey and Rylee. Both of them looked calm and not at all noisy. However, Helen's gaze swept across the ring on the ring finger of Abbey's hand. After a long time the finger was empty and now it was filled.
"You're engaged?" ask Helen. It is undeniable that his curiosity is quite high.
Abbey looked at Rylee. The young man remained calm. Then, a few seconds later, his face lifted and his lips spoke.
"Yes, Abbey is engaged. It's just not with me" replied Rylee.
Abbey wishes Rylee had admitted it, but it turns out she said what it was. The truth is, isn't it?
"Abbey, you owe me a lot of explanation!" firmly Helen.
Since it was proved not Abbey who became Van's affair, his attitude softened. Moreover, the chaos that Helen once caused while in the villa that day.
"That's not important, Helen. Anyone who would marry me, would have already become the right choice for everyone. Yes, especially my parents and .. You know, the male parents should agree too. Let's just say it's a silly matchmaking in the modern world like it is today."
Van passed them, but no more saying goodbye. He just kept going until he got into his car.
"How are you guys related?" ask Rylee. Of course he cares. Moreover, Van's behavior has gone too far.
"I'm trying to pretend there's no problem, Rylee. Thank you for accompanying me at that time. I owe you." Helen will never forget how good Rylee was.
"Oh, yes, I've agreed that dinner will be held here. Let me send a message to Thanos and Zaylin. I care about you, Abbey. I don't think the club is the right place because you–"
"Yeah, everybody cares about my pregnancy. Thank you, Helen." Abbey smiled as she managed to cut off her friend's words.
Helen took the phone next to her hand which had been placed since breakfast had just begun. He immediately typed in two messages sent simultaneously to Thanos and Zaylin.
The sound of the phone echoing in the morning with the longest ringtone set on his phone made Thanos immediately open the message. For him each of those long tones will provide additional job, kinship, and affairs opportunities. Although sometimes it doesn't matter.
"Who, Honey?" anne asked who had just opened her eyes. He felt that his body was very heavy today. It feels so lazy to wake up. However, his stomach seemed to signal that he immediately got off the bed and vomited the contents.
"Anne, what's wrong with you?" thanos asked who saw his wife hurriedly go to the bathroom.
Thanos. He saw Anne nausea and vomiting. These symptoms are not commonly encountered as long as they live together.
"You sick?" ask Thanos again.
"I think I'm just exhausted, Thanos."
"Yes, okay. If you don't have a photo shoot, just rest. They can definitely wait for a few days until you get better. Today there is a dinner invitation. 7 O'clock at Helen's." Thanos then left Anne. Like the days before.
Anne smiled in the mirror. Yeah, he misses Van. These days he is hard to contact. Like intentionally avoiding.
"I'm going to the hospital today. Do not let the doctor give a diagnosis of dangerous diseases for me," said Anne while feeling the bitter sense of taste.
She immediately contacted the agency that housed her as a model in state X. In a few days, she had to take a photo shoot for a new wedding dress, but it looks like she will be out for a few weeks until her condition improves.
Anne was shocked to hear a diagnosis from a doctor who said she was pregnant. It couldn't have happened because Anne believed it was a mistake. He and Thanos did it very carefully. They do not have children because they feel this commitment is not about children, but on togetherness. Now she's pregnant.
"Van's? Is this because of it?" mumbling Anne. He was too attached to the relationship. Moreover, Van's attitude was very warm and caring to him. He even wants to be a good listener.
She recalled Thanos saying this morning that there would be an event at Helen's house later tonight. It was a good time to tell Van the truth that she was pregnant. However, it seems that this is not an easy matter because Anne must risk herself to choose between modeling world or conceiving another boy.
"I'm confused right now" murmured Anne.
