Valen was quite surprised when he saw Zoe sitting on the edge of the bed holding an empty plate. That means Zoe's feeding Alden. But, why would Zoe be alone with Alden in this hospital room? What does Zoe have to do with Alden? And Valen just remembered that the one who told him Alden went into the hospital was Zoe. Why do people call Zoe when Valen is on Alden's list of emergency numbers?
Valen actually really wanted to be angry, but he paused because Valen did not have the heart to see Alden's condition was still pale. Valen had promised himself not to talk to Alden directly when he was emotional.
"Val, sorry.." Zoe who felt a cold gaze from Valen immediately took the initiative to apologize.
Valen replied to Zoe with a smile. "Hi, Zo. You're here?" treat it as kindly as usual.
"I. yeah. I'm worried about you." said Zoe stammered.
"I'm fine, Zo. I was last night because I overslept."
"Darling, I want a drink." Alden pulled Valen to get closer to him.
"OKAY.." Valen picked up the glass with a straw that was on the nightstand, then directed it near Alden.
There was no 1 minute, Alden had already finished his drink.
"You seem to be very thirsty" Valen said as he stared intensely at Alden.
"Tonight, accompany me to bed in the hospital." pinta Alden who also looked at Valen without blinking.
"As you wish, baby. I'll learn to obey you." Valen held Alden's cheek, then rubbed it gently. "Are you still sick?"
Alden shaking. "I'm not sick because you're here" she wrote. Alden shifted a little, then he patted the empty part of his bed. It was a code for Valen to get into bed. "I want to talk to our baby."
"Den, shame..There's Zoe here." Valen said.
"It's okay, baby. I'm helping you." Zoe holds Valen as Valen climbs into Alden's bed.
The bed was perfect for both of them. Alden slept facing Valen. He directly rubbed Valen's stomach gently.
"Hay, Daddy's son. What are you again?" Alden began interacting with his son.
Valen felt the baby inside his stomach move. She's not used to this yet, but she's very happy that the baby is responding to Alden.
"Honey, he's kicking around" Alden said in awe. Alden even smiled so widely as he looked directly at the movement in Valen's stomach after Valen slightly opened his shirt.
Zoe was glued to the spot watching the two people making out. He felt like a fool in the wrong place.
"Ehm. It looks like I have to go first. Get well soon, Den.." "Val, I'm back." said Zoe to Valen and Alden.
"Thanks Zo's. Be careful on the road." replied Valen. Alden doesn't seem to care much about Zoe because she's busy with the baby in Valen's stomach.
"Darling, can I talk?" asked Valen gently.
"Why Val?" Alden closes Valen's shirt, then focuses on the woman.
"So Jason went home. I've already kicked him out, but he still wants to wait for me in the living room." Valen explained honestly.
Alden was quite surprised by Valen's confession. Why is Valen suddenly talking about Jason?
"I know, Den. I'm not trying to provoke your emotions. I just want to be honest with you." Valen held Alden's hand which was much larger than his. From Alden's expression, it was certain that the man was a little emotional.
"Wouldn't a relationship work out well if it's honest with each other?" "So I want to be honest with you." "So Jason was waiting. But, when I went to the hospital, he also left. So you don't have to worry. I didn't talk to him either."
"Hmm.. and then?" Alden seemed to raise one eyebrow. He still doesn't understand Valen's story.
"That's it. I just want a report on you." Valen was silent for a moment. "I hope you're also honest with me about Zoe."
"Zoe?"
"Yes. Zoe's been looking so weird all day. He told me about this incident. Besides, he was here and feeding you. I'm a little worried."
Instead of answering, Alden laughed. He tightened his hand with Valen.
"So, you're suspicious of Zoe?"
Valen nodded weakly.
"Darling, I wouldn't be able to do anything weird with Zoe. I guarantee 1000%. I'm a bad boy, but I'm not gonna play around with girls." "You know for yourself how many female contacts are on my phone."
Valen was still silent at Alden's explanation. Alden's contacts were very few. Valen found only a few female contacts and it wasn't up to 10 seeds. The Alden save is just Valen, Mom Lydia, Milka, Zoe and the insurance officer.
But Alden kept Zoe's number.
"Darling, whenever, I will fight for our marriage. I'm so happy to have you as my wife." Alden added.
"Gombal" Valen said with a laugh.
"Thank you for sticking with a tough guy like me." "After my salary goes out, I promise I'll take you to a better apartment."
Valen hugged Alden carefully. For her, Alden's words were convincing enough that Valen did not choose the wrong husband. Although at first they often quarrel, but in fact their relationship until now is getting closer. Valen was also able to begin to understand Alden and his condition. He also began to get used to living a simple life. Hope their relationship stays warm like this.
