One month later ...
Joanna's attitude grew so annoying that Jean was forced to ignore Joanna's calls and messages every nine o'clock in the morning.
"Sir Jean, sorry to interrupt. About meeting with Mr. Ajino from Japan can it start now?"
"Word with Mr. Ajino?"
I forgot!
"Yes, Sir. One of the investors who want to discuss the development of our project in Malang."
Jean pursed the base of her nose for a moment. Taking off reading glasses that perch there because they do not remember the meeting schedule is so much to take care of.
"Sir Jean?"
"Fifteen minutes we'll see him."
There was no need to repeat his words anymore, Sean quite understood the problem his Big Boss had been facing lately.
Especially if it's not about Joanna and Jenan.
Ja. In addition to the pregnancy of their second child, Jenan is now also busy participating in a city-level painting competition.
Which event was held in one of the existing buildings in the city of Bogor, to coincide that— Jean busy. Once a week must go back and forth to Malang to directly monitor the construction of hotels there that had been delayed.
Then Mr David?
The man decided to stay in Connecticut because Hazel told him that there were more problems going on there so that Mr. David had to intervene immediately to solve the problem.
And let Jean still take care of their company in Indonesia, especially when Joanna is pregnant young.
Jean couldn't have left the woman alone.
Ting!
Jean's cell phone voice shifted attention.
...Peachie🦑's...
^^^Peachie🦑^^^
^^^Good! Just activated his number!^^^
^^^Peachie🦑^^^
^^^You must be having an affair with your new secretary, right? My why!^^^
^^^Peachie🦑^^^
^^^Jean, reply to my message!^^^
^^^Why read only, ish!^^^
^^^Okay! Continue on!^^^
^^^ But don't be surprised if later I also do the same as you do, just look!^^^
^^^read!^^^
Jean really just read the message without even retaliating. I can't stop thinking about his wife's behavior.
Because it wasn't just this once that Joanna sent her a bunch of weird messages.
Though they had just parted an hour ago and the message Joanna sent was unimportant.
Like the message before that, Joanna asked herself what she was doing and when to go home?
Didn't Jean tell you, Joanna already knows the answer?
Cklek!
The door of the room opened again.
"Sir, it's time."
"Prepare files. We're leaving now!"
"Good, sir."
...••••...
They were in a restaurant not far from Jean's office.
"If you can, use good quality materials. Add some ornaments that can me—"
Speech Mr. Ajino stopped as Jean's phone rang.
Damnit damnit! I forgot about silent!
"Sorry, may I answer the phone for a moment?"
"Sure. Please, Mr. Soenser."
Luckily Jean has investors who are very understanding of her current circumstances.
"I'm just saying that today Jenan enrolled in piano lessons. Maybe we'll also stop by the supermarket for a weekly shopping spree."
"Hm, is it done?"
"Jean, you're so outrageous!"
Joanna's tone of voice turned hoarse.
Jean guess, Joanna must have held back her tears, again.
"My dear, my love, Joanna ... Please understand yes? I'm in a meeting with Mr. Ajino, so–"
Pip's!
The call was turned off unilaterally by Joanna.
Jean's breath sounded.
The man rejoined and continued the delayed conversation.
About Joanna to be taken care of later.
...••••...
"ABCDFG ... HIJKL— Mommy!"
Jenan squealed happily as Joanna brought her favorite strawberry pudding and steamed brownies.
"Je what are you doing?"
"Vocal training, Mi! Starting tomorrow Je will be tutoring the piano with Mrs. Katarina, that's it, hihihi."
"Good! Then the task of drawing Je themed animals has not been?"
Jenan patted his head slowly. Put the bitten brownie back on the plate and run to the room.
"The boy is god."
"here, here. Mommy help."
Joanna examined the painting of the little one with a proud look.
"Well! There's upgrade! Je is indeed Mami's best son." said Joanna while giving her two thumbs.
And Jenan replied with a warm hug.
"Mi, when's the baby sister coming out? Je's been impatient."
"Wait another eight months, honey."
"Well, why so long?" Jenan pursed her lips.
The little hand gently rubbed Joanna's still flat stomach.
"Baby sister, pray Big Brother yes in order to win the race and bring a lot of trophies ..."
"I can't wait for you to come out, big quick huh! Don't be naughty in Mami's stomach, hihihi."
Joanna rubbed Jenan's head with an affectionate look.
Although lately his mood is up and down, but Joanna did not dismiss that she was so happy for the gift given by God to her small family.
Remembering that when Joanna was pregnant with the firstborn, Jean was not beside her, making Joanna grimace, rubbing her own stomach.
"Mommy why?"
Jenan watched her mother who was daydreaming.
"Mommy is sad? Papi, aren't you home yet? What's Je–"
They turned towards the open door, displaying Jean smiling sweetly as she spread out her arms to greet the little one.
"FIRE!"
"Hello, Champ! How was today, hm?"
"All good, Pi. Comeing! Mommy is sad, Pi. Poor thing!"
Oh my goodness, Joanna! I almost forgot.
"Darling .."
Joanna breezed away after picking up the bag that Jean had brought to the kitchen.
"Why's your mom, Jenan?"
"Do not know! Je and Mami were talking about a baby sister but suddenly Mami was sad, Pi."
Jean rubbed his son's cheek.
"Je continued to learn by himself first huh? Papi wants to talk to Mommy for a second, okay?"
Because Jenan was a submissive child, so he nodded obediently.
Continuing the vocal test again because tomorrow the first day plunged into the world of music.
That is, in addition to the art of painting, Jenan also wants to hone his other skills in the field of music so that Jenan's ability is not monotonous and more developed.
"Darling ..."
Silent.
Joanna pretended not to hear.
A burly arm wrapped around his still flat stomach. Gave a gentle swipe until Joanna stopped her movement.
"Friday, seven o'clock, Jenan and I went to Bogor to come to the painting race."
After tomorrow means Friday and to coincide with that, Jean will go to Malang with Sean.
"Why silence? Can't come?"
"could. Who says I can't accompany you guys, hm?"
With a single jolt, Jean flipped over his wife's body.
Joanna did not resist even though her heart was still upset over Jean's indifference to her.
Jean's thumb and index finger flanked the beauty's chin and their eyes met.
"Sorry for this morning."
Chup!
"I never meant to ignore all your messages."
Chup!
"But you also have to understand, I'm at work not cheating as you accuse me ..."
Jean was about to kiss Joanna's lips again but Joanna held her husband's lips in her palm.
"Bring baby! You don't like to see me cravings, huh?"
For God's sake!
The cliche was always used as a weapon to deceive Jean until the man began to think, did all pregnant women behave like his wife?
Sucks, spoiled and weird!
"Nobody said that, my dear."
"Instantly, you are, Arjean!"
Jean does not want their debate to get serious and cause a fight between them.
So the man gave up again.
For Joannanya.
"Yes already. All my fault, sorry?"
Joanna doesn't budge anymore. His hands were busy putting vegetables and fruit in the cooler.
Helped by Jean, of course, so that the woman did not feel exhausted.
"MOM, MAMI! IS IT A LONG TIME TO SPEAK?"
Jean scratched his nape when he heard the cry of the little one who seemed to also ask for his company.
Hoping to have more patience, enjoy his role as a good Husband and father for his small family.
"Je, Papi go there."
