My Inclined Baby

Chapter 57. Invitation Van

Eric came in and handed me a bouquet of white peonies. Of course Helen felt overwhelmed because the flower had a very deep meaning, namely purity, innocence, prosperity, and luck.

Zaylin was moved by Eric's concern for his friend. Moreover, he knew that Eric did not live in the same country, but rather in a neighboring country. The sudden arrival surprised him.

"Eric, thank you." Helen looked at the beautiful flower bouquet with confidence because there was still a chance to be met with a man who had been the subject for several days.

"Well, there are flowers! Eric, Helen missed you! For the past few days he's been waiting for news from you" Zaylin teased.

Helen was embarrassed. While everyone there centers on Helen who looks like a teenage girl.

While Rylee immediately took a seat beside the Abbey who had just put down a few glasses of drink. It was only fitting that Zaylin was a bit surprised to see that the number of glasses did not match the many guests who came. More than the guests who come.

"Actually I wanted to protest at Abbey, but I paused. I really didn't know Eric was here either" Zaylin continued.

They're silent for a moment. Eric was heartwarming to talk to Helen. Moreover, the woman who is ready to be made his future wife later.

"Come, drink!" abbey's orders.

They immediately took their own glasses. However, not with Helen who continues to look at the peony flowers given by Eric.

The activity became the center of attention of Abbey so that the woman would give Helen a chance to talk with Eric.

"Eric, better take Helen to the balcony! Talk there!" Abbey pointed the way to the place in question.

Eric immediately reached out his hand intending to hold Helen. However, the woman instead told Eric to walk first. When they were gone, then the three people could speak calmly.

"So, is this your idea?" ask Zaylin.

"It's not me, but it's purely Eric's own wish. I'm just an intermediary." Rylee answered calmly.

"What is Eric's goal?" Zaylin was getting curious.

"Applying to Helen seems to." Now the original Abbey answered.

"Oh, yeah, geez! I must have lost to him. I was the longest widowed. You know that I'm tired and don't trust men!" Zaylin.

Abbey smiling. He also had a moment of mind with Zaylin, but after meeting with Rylee, everything turned erratic.

"What about Thanos? We haven't seen each other in a long time" Abbey said, reminding Zaylin of the man.

Since his feelings could not be contained, Zaylin dodged more. The reason, later there will be a complexity that makes no sense because Helen is a former Van. Actually it doesn't matter when they reunite Van and Anne will never show up. Only Helen, Thanos, Zaylin, and the Abbey will meet. Zaylin should have been fine, but she felt that Thanos did not like her at all.

"Let's see, we don't greet each other right now!" Zaylin took a sip of the drink back and placed the glass on the table.

His gaze looked forward and wished for a miracle from there. Maybe not now, but someday Zaylin will find the right figure in her life.

Meanwhile, the couple, Abbey and Rylee, are seen being spoiled. Of course it was because of Rylee who seduced his wife.

"Ah, Zaylin, don't be like that! Let's wait for Eric and Helen to come out. I don't know what they're talking about?"

Of course Rylee's hope is good news. Her sister failed to marry Abbey because she was pregnant. However, there was something else that Rylee was thinking about right now. It was possible that they could fuse together because they needed each other, but what about Dixie? Would that woman not be a barrier to that status-different marriage?

Upon the return of the two men, they seemed to be wondering about what had happened. Their faces looked flat, did not show anything happy, and made everyone waiting for the news fall silent into a thousand languages.

"I'm on Eric's application!" helen exclaimed showing a ring on her ring finger.

Suddenly everyone seemed happy at once. Abbey congratulated her friend. Rylee hugged her sister very warmly. Likewise with Zaylin who reflexively stood up to give congratulations.

"Congratulations, Brother! Good luck until the wedding day." Rylee looks very happy.

"Just pray, Rylee. Oh, yeah, Helen, I'm not here just for this, but I'm gonna take you to meet my parents. I will also make sure that our marriage is carried out as we wish together. So, can you come with me tomorrow?"

Of course Eric offered the day after tomorrow because he couldn't go home tomorrow. There has been no special preparation such as passports, plane tickets, and lodging recommendations while at Eric's place. He could have brought Helen home, but it would have been better to have put Helen out of the house for some time.

"Of course, Eric. I'll go with you."

Abbey was very happy to hear that. He clasped Rylee's hand so tightly. It felt like not only she was happy, but Helen and her new partner.

While enjoying the rare moment, Abbey's phone rang. It just so happened that Abbey did carry the phone in her pants pocket that is used today. He took the phone and saw the caller.

"Who, Honey?" ask Rylee.

"Vans. I don't know if there's any business about him. I don't know either. If you don't want me to pick it up, it doesn't matter."

Helen knows that Van, her ex-husband called Abbey. Curiosity is high enough to make Helen give the code so that Abbey lift it and use the loud speaker mode.

"Hello, Abbey!"

"Yes, Van. What's the matter the night-night call me? Wouldn't I take care of the work while I was in the office? For business outside the office–"

"Yes, I know. I'm sorry, but it's an emergency. Can you come to my house tomorrow morning? Anne invited you to have breakfast with us."

Abbey looked at everyone. They put the shoulder of the sign not knowing the answer. So does Rylee who looks resigned without giving a ban or even an argument.

"I don't know the answer yet, Van. Can I tell you a few more minutes after I think?" ask Abbey.

"Sure! Anne and I are hoping that you can come tomorrow. Then I'll finish the phone first. Good night!"

Connection interrupted. Helen's eyes looked teary.

"I'm guessing that he doesn't regret it at all!" helen said slowly.

"Hey, forget him, Helen! You already have a future. Anyway, I didn't know if I should come or not. I have doubts about Anne and Van, but I still want to work there. Am I stupid or what?" Abbey revealed her heart.
