SINGLE MOM.

chapter 36's

...Author point of view....

Efsun came with Troy. The two men walked towards him in tandem. Suddenly Jessie felt a small movement in her cradle. He realized that Lauryn was not comfortable sleeping in the sun.

Jessie decided to turn to Beckham. His free hand touched the man's arm, causing little shock from Beckham who was being hit by the deadlock.

“Please take me to home.” Jessie said with a faint smile. Beckham nodded.

“Let me carry Lauryn.” Beckham did not wait for an answer from Jessie. He immediately took over Lauryn who was now in his arms.

Jessie also did not refuse, she let Beckham hold her son. Without turning her gaze away from Lauryn, Jessie ignored the presence of the two of them. Troy and Efsun.

Troy is uncomfortable with the interaction between Jessie and Beckham. And here he is, who is Jessie's husband himself. But Jessie would rather ask Beckham for help.

“Sa-” has not had time Troy called Jessie with the title 'honey'. The woman had already walked away from Troy.

Troy turned to Efsun who was still silent. He complies with Efsun's wish to meet Jessie this morning. Indeed, when Efsun asked to speak to him, Efsun asked for something quite strange, according to Troy.

Doesn't Efsun not like Jessie? But why did the woman want to meet Jessie? — The question came to Troy's mind, but as he looked at Efsun's wry eyes, he said, Troy is convinced that Efsun will not do what he does not want.

Flashback.

Troy stood in the living room. He waited for Efsun who was now walking towards him. Every step that Efsun gave, somehow seemed to cause anxiety if there would be something happening.

But Troy dismissed the thought, especially when Efsun was now in front of him.

“Before I leave, I want you to promise me that Nessie will not feel inadequate.”, said Efsun who was not expected to come out of the lips of the woman.

Troy grinned at his confused forehead. “What do you mean, Efsun?” asked Troy with a serious look. Confusion at once.

“I also want you to promise, if there is no affection that you distinguish between Nessie and his sister later.” Troy's forehead again grinned. Efsun spoke as if something was going to happen.

“I know. And I understand.” replied Troy as he was. Without being told, Troy will do what is best for his two children.

“This.” Efsun hand outstretched, apparently from earlier the woman grasped a map in black.

Inevitably, Troy took the map. Especially when Efsun's eyes, did not stop looking at him deeply.

“It is the ownership rights of my salon business and small make-up company that I have been establishing.”, Efsun said flatly. “Share equally, to Nessie and her sister who will have it when they are adults.” continued Efsun ignoring the pain in his chest.

“Efsun! Do you realize what you're saying? You're just gonna get out of this house, not leave Nessie. You can still meet him,” Troy said with a rising tone.

“I know. Just do it, brother. I beg.” if Efsun said flat, now he began to weaken the tone intonation.

Troy was confused by what he saw. It was like seeing a desperate Efsun. The woman's eyes dimmed.

Moreover, it sounds strange, when Efsun called Jessie with the name of his wife'. Troy had no idea that Efsun would accept the situation so soon.

“However I was the one who had taken care of Nessie since childhood. I'm entitled to meet his real mother right.” Efsun's eyes stared deep into Troy's face.

Troy couldn't even answer. He just nodded at a glance. Not knowing if his decision to bring Efsun met with Jessie, whether right or wrong.

Flashback.

Troy enters Beckham's house. It seems that the living room is empty. Where is Jessie now?

Given that Beckham wasn't here either, Troy was jealous. She doesn't like it when Jessie is around other men, even if it's her own friend.

Troy quickly ran up the stairs, leaving Efsun, who was busy staring at Beckham's house. Efsun walked towards the small table. It has paper and a ballpoint pen on it. Then Efsun gave a small smile, which he had been looking for. His hands are still working on writing some messages there.

On the other hand, Troy now stepped closer to the open door. He walked in with a steady step, looking at Jessie who was playing her phone on the sofa, while Beckham sat on the edge of the bed while wiping Lauryn's hair.

“Beckham, have you done your job?” asked Troy indifferently. Beckham stood up, then he nodded.

“Already.” replied Beckham briefly. He also looked at Lauryn. Beckham himself did not realize that Troy was burning with jealous fire. Seeing herself with Jessie.

“I want your explanation, Beckham. Not just your short answer.” said Troy as if riding apitam. Even though his tone did not increase in the slightest. But invite the attention of Jessie who had earlier tried not to care about the presence of Troy.

“Media today reported that you and Efsun have been divorced for a long time. It's just that no stranger knows, because you and Efsun agreed to cover it up to maintain the privacy of each family. And the media also know, if your togetherness all this time is only for the sake of children alone. You satisfied the esteemed Mr Troy Axel Andreas?” Beckham glared at Troy's wry face.

“What do you mean by satisfied' you are Beckham? You're challenging me?” ask Troy with his chin up.

Beckham frowned confusedly, causing several folds on his forehead. “Challenging you? Wh-wh-what for? I myself have been made dizzy with your family affairs.” replied Beckham honestly. And a little unacceptable.

“That's because I have also considered you my family. But even so, it does not mean you can be close to my wife.” press Troy with an annoyed look on his face.

“Hey stupid, I just drove your son into this room. I just want to see Lauryn anyway. By the way your son is beautiful, like his mother.” Beckham blinked one eye at Jessie, as if flirting with her. And that's not out of Troy's sight at all.

“Close your mouth. I didn't put Jessie here, she would come with me.” Troy said quite loudly, although Beckham's intention was only joking, but somehow Troy seemed to take it seriously.

Jessie felt her anger rising, after hearing that. He quietly listened to the conversation of the two adult men who had argued.

“Am I the stuff in your eyes?? Which you can move as you please.” press Jessie to feel offended. “You always leave me, then come back to take me when you need me. But when you don't care about me. You just have to tell your friends to take me to a place that I don't even like.” Jessie said as she flashed her fierce gaze at the corners of the room.

Realizing the atmosphere was not conducive, Beckham left the room slowly. In order not to cause any noise.
