The Painful Love Story

Chapter 63

"Hows it? Yummy?" Ellina asked after noticing Zean who had been eating voraciously.

This is not the first time Ellina has cooked for her husband. But somehow this time Ellina really wanted to hear the praise from the man.

And without a second thought, Zean immediately nodded his head quickly.

"Enak! Very yummy. Your cooking never fails dear." praise Zean honestly. Because Ellina's cooking is very fitting on her tongue. "Thank you for cooking it for me!" connect Zean sincerely. He also returned to spoon the rice and side dishes into his mouth.

"Baby-sama!" ellina said with a happy smile. Zean who was focusing on eating his food just nodded in response.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot!" exclamation Ellina.

"What?" Zean glanced at his wife recklessly continuing to chew.

"Must be when you're in the shower, Mr. Leo called you."

Uhuk...

Zean suddenly coughed until the reflex of the food that was still in his mouth gushed out. Looking at the scene clearly Ellina widened her eyes. He immediately stood up and took the water and gave it to Zean.

"Slow down!" ellina said, patting her husband's shoulder.

"It has. I'm it's okay. Thank you." replied Zean after he finished drinking. "What did you say? Mr. Leo called?" ask Zean to make sure he doesn't hear wrong.

Ellina nodded.

"Yes. Unfortunately, I didn't get to lift it. Then she left a message soon." Ellina said. The woman sat back down.

"What message?" sambar Zean fast. He was afraid that the person would say such a thing that he could make his relationship with Ellina fall apart. For indeed Mr. Leo is Lyora.

Yeah, Zean accidentally named him Mr. Leo to avoid things like they are now. He forgot to keep his phone properly.

"Hm.. He asked you to come tomorrow morning to his apartment because there was something important to talk about." replied Ellina.

Zean instantly scanned Ellina's face. He looked carefully at his wife's expression. There is no anger in it. That means Ellina doesn't know who Mr. Leos.

Mercifully.

Zean breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh so apparently" Zean once again gulped down water to neutralize his beating heartbeat.

"If I may know, it is Mr. Leo who is it? And why did he ask you to come to his apartment?"

Deg.

For the second time Zean was shocked. But as much as possible the man hid his surprise at Ellina's question and then put on a calm expression.

"Mrs. Leos... He's my business partner. He asked me to come to his apartment maybe just to discuss work because as far as I am right now he is sick." Zean lied. I don't know how many lies he told Ellina.

"In pain? What's he sick of?" asked Ellina curiously.

"Leukemia." Zean replied briefly. In his heart Zean immediately cursed his mouth that was already flabbergasted replied.

"God is so sorry!"

Before Ellina asked any further, Zean tried to shift the topic of their conversation.

"Don't talk about it anymore. I don't want our romantic dinner filled with talking about other people." Zean said. Ellina did not argue. The woman resumed her delayed eating.

Next day.

"Thank you for coming so early Zean. I'm sorry if I'm always troubling you." said Lyora, commenting on a friendly smile and sitting on her couch, next to the sofa Zean had occupied after she closed the door.

Yes, Zean is currently in Lyora's apartment to fulfill the woman's request.

"No problem. It's just that next time I ask for your understanding not to call me on Lyora's night. For who knows if one day Ellina will pick up your call while I'm not holding my phone. It can create misunderstandings between us. And I don't want that to happen." explains Zean at length.

She accidentally doesn't tell me about the incident last night in plain sight that Ellina had read the message Lyora sent her, because Zean didn't want to prolong the matter.

While Lyora herself, the woman stared at Zean with a bitter feeling. The envy of Ellina grew, draining almost all of her veins.

Is that how Zean loves Ellina?

As fast as lightning Lyora immediately cleared her throat, neutralizing her turbulent heart full of offence and then put on a face full of guilt.

"God! I'm sorry Zean! I didn't think I'd get there. Because of my impatience to tell you, I acted rashly. But Ellina doesn't know that I called you and sent you a message?" ask Lyora curiously.

In her heart she wanted her last words to come true. Where Ellina knew that she had contacted Zean.

But unfortunately Zean shook his head.

"No. He didn't know." Zean answered half-lying. Yes, despite the fact that Ellina saw and read the messages that Lyora sent, but the woman did not know if the sender of the message and the caller was Lyora.

"Thank God!" Lyora pretended to sigh in relief.

"So what's important you want to tell me, Lyora?" zean asked again his main goal was to come to the woman's apartment. "Say, because I have to go to the office immediately."

Lyora wastes no time. He immediately looked at Zean with a serious look.

"I... I want you to let me work in Zean's office."

Deg.

"What?!"
