Three Men's Familiarity
Luxury apartment for Laura
.
.
“I didn't expect papa to take you to this apartment, I thought papa was traumatized by this apartment” Devon.
Laura was soaking her feet in warm water while sitting by the window to see the beautiful scenery of New York City.
Laura turned to Devon who was sitting quietly on the sofa, while eating the burger she had bought somewhere.
Looks delicious.
“Indeed why trauma? She doesn't look Trauma” said Laura.
Devon turned to Laura, then replied, “papa will buy this apartment as a birthday gift mama's delayed, but then mama accident, after that papa does not want to come here, papa will not come, or talk about this apartment. I think I can get this apartment, it has been redirected in your name” said Devon.
Laura looked at Devon with an annoyed look, “Then? You don't like me getting this apartment? Sorry your papa gave it to me!”
Devon chuckled at Laura who was emotional, her cheeks bulging funny.
“What do you mean? I'm not mad. It's up to you to give this apartment to you, I'll buy another apartment, what do you want?”
“Why are you even asking me?”
“Kan later we make both..”.
“Now!”
“You burger?”
Laura took her foot out of the warm water bath, dried it for a while, then walked over to Devon.
“Mau!”
Devon was thrilled to see Laura eat so voraciously, her cheeks getting rounder, so adorable. He is very upset when his wife Niko makes Laura insecure with her body, even though it is normal for pregnant women. Whatever Laura looks like, Devon will always love it.
“What is your relationship with Wonhi?” laura asked, after swallowing the burger she chewed.
“Yes that's it, but I already know who the infidelity is, just an ordinary boy trying to run away from his family who wants him to help the family company, you know a lot of young people like that, he said, then escape by becoming an idol, even though being an idol is much more difficult. After finding out that it was difficult, he regretted it but still had a big ego, eventually needing the help of a more powerful person for sponsorship, namely Wonhi.”
Laura tries to digest Devon's words while eating her burger.
“So the cover is idol?”
Devon nodded, “iya, thanks to Wonhi's help, they started getting sponsors and the group became known.”
“Then, what will you do?”
Devon put his shoulder around, “entah, I can't judge him, because I'm not a good man myself, I'm playing around with you right?”
“But I don't like!”
Devon grinned at Laura, “oh huh? Don't you always enjoy my touch, baby?”
“Don't mess around, I'm your stepmother now!”
“Tempting stepmother..”
Laura took her burger and went back to the window.
“I go to the room first, want to take a shower, if there is nothing to say yes.. later Angel and Fano also come.”
When the exhausted Emperor had gone to sleep, Laura did not want to disturb him, so he chose to warm his feet, but Devon came and messed up his peace.
Laura herself was unwilling to admit that she enjoyed Devon's treatment of her. Laura still believes her love is only for the Emperor.
Why would something like this happen to her?
Laura just wants to live a quiet life with the man she loves, but why should there be those two demonic twins that interfere with her life? Worse, Laura got used to it and enjoyed it.
The Emperor deserves a better woman, Laura has tried and can not be a good woman for him.
Without feeling it, Laura's tears just came out, flowing down her chubby cheeks.
Is it okay that he used to make a lot of mistakes, until his life was complicated like this?
Without tears streaming down Laura's cheeks, she had already put down her burger that was half-living, then cried without a sound.
Devon, who had just finished bathing and was still wearing his bathrobe, was astonished because the atmosphere was suddenly quiet, he went out of his room to see Laura. How surprised he was to see Laura already crying without a sound, while staring out the window.
“Laura?” call Devon, he approaches Laura, then hugs Laura from the side.
“Why you?” ask Devon.
Laura shook her head softly, yet this time she cried while sobbing.
“Already, already... don't cry anymore, it makes my heart break, is this my fault?”
“No – hiks, I was wrong... all my fault...”.
“Laura, what's the matter? What makes you cry?”
Devon cupped Laura's cheek, but Laura still did not want to answer, she just shook her head, looking at Devon with her watery eyes.
Devon approached to kiss Laura's forehead, “don't cry, don't think too much about unnecessary things, you still remember? you can't stress because of your pregnancy.”
“Iya, but..”
Laura nodded, and Devon pulled Laura back into her arms.
***
“You ready?” ask Emperor.
Laura looked at herself in front of the mirror. This morning the Emperor will meet his half-brother, Xiaokun, who is two years younger than the Emperor. So the Emperor's father had married a woman from Beijing, Xiaokun's mother.
Xiaokun himself lived in America for a job, he bought one of the apartments in New York, but some distance from the place of the Emperor and Laura.
Therefore, since the Emperor was already in America, Xiaokun wanted to meet with his brother.
Laura was wearing a simple dress, chin-up with a thick coat, because although it was still autumn, but the air was already very cold, while Laura was rather sensitive.
Although her body seemed twice as big, Laura did not care, the important thing is that she was warm.
“Already!”
The Emperor smiled then dyed Laura's cheeks, then kissed her lips at a glance.
“You're so pretty, already feeling warm right? outside will be even cooler..”.
Laura nodded confidently, “already!”
“Ayo departing!”
They come out of the room, looking at Angel who plays with Jason and Hanna. For a while Angel was looking after Hanna, as Jay was still busy with her affairs. There's Fano and Devon cooking in the kitchen.
“You're leaving?” ask Angel.
“Iya, how do I look?” laura asked, she then twisted her body to show her beautiful dress and coat.
Angel clapped her hands, then two babies clapped.
“But pretty! That's what was bought in Gangnam yesterday huh?” ask Angel.
“Iya, this buy the same Wonhi, the choice is very good heh... warm also” said Laura.
“We go first ya” said the Emperor, he pulled Laura out of the apartment.
“Don't forget his souvenirs!” sahut Fano from the kitchen.
The restaurant they will visit is a Chinese-American restaurant, Wo Hop, one of the oldest retailers in New York. They are durable because they have their own unique signature menu.
Even many customers queue every day in front of the entrance. Laura already knows what she wants to eat there, which is Chickn chow mein, or beef chow fun. Or buy both, the Emperor would definitely not matter if Laura ordered a lot right?
“You seem very excited huh, baby?” ask Emperor.
“Hehe, I was curious about the food, he said very famous” Laura replied.
“Thank God if you are happy, will eat a lot huh? Let our baby be healthier!”
Laura nods vigorously, “of course! I will eat a lot!”
The emperor pinched Laura's chewy, chubby cheek in a fit of rage, reminiscent of the Emperor's twin sister, Keira, Fano's mother.
So it can be concluded that now Laura is Fano's step-aunt.
It's a complicated relationship, but Laura and Fano used to be ex.
However, Laura's wide smile didn't last long, because after arriving, she saw a beautiful woman, maybe she was around her thirties. Even so, she was very beautiful, her body was well groomed, her skin was nice and supple, just so beautiful, like a celebrity.
“Laura, meet, this is my half-brother, Xiaokun, and this is his wife Kun, Yue.” The Emperor introduced the two foreigners.
“We came to your wedding you know, time don't remember?” ask Kun.
“Yes understand, Laura may be tired, there are many people, she is confused.”.
“Sorry..” said Laura while lowering her head.
“Sister Kai, you said your wife was young.
“She is pregnant..” said the Emperor.
“Ah, pantesan, I used to be pregnant also fat anyway... and look older, do not worry Laura, just look at me, I managed to be beautiful again right?” said Yue.
Laura simply smiled, confused as to how to answer it.
In the end, Laura had to hold herself back from being excited, she just ordered the chicken chow mein alone and tried to eat gracefully. Throughout the meeting, Laura was silent because she did not know what to say, she did not understand much about their conversation. But fortunately Yue occasionally invited laura to talk, Laura felt helped.
“This morning you guys have a gak?” event ask Yue.
“No, why?” sahut Emperor.
Yue shook her head and looked at Laura, “I just want to take Laura for a walk, pregnant women like she needs a lot of walks, so be healthy, can you?” ask Yue.
“Oh, really, Laura want to?” ask Emperor.
Laura nodded sheepishly, back then, Laura had no bad prejudices at all.
