Ellyse and Riden ate dinner together until both of their stomach were full. She didn’t want to go home yet so they decided to sit at his patio to kill time.

The sky was sprinkled with stars, and the moon was brightly lit. Everything felt calming and relaxing to Ellyse. The sounds of the swimming pool was enough to make the scene even more therapeutic.

“Why do you seem fine with the fact that Agatha cheated on you with my husband?” She asked him.

It’s a thought that never left her mind. Riden was fine of letting go of Agatha, he loved her so much to the point where he’s willing to let her go.

Riden who had asked her if she wanted whiskey earlier drank from his glass, “Do I seem fine?” He chuckled.

She licked her lips, “I mean…you don’t even seem mad at her. You just…well, accepted the fact that she cheated on you?” His eyes were fixed on the glass he’s holding, it’s almost as if he’s watching the l

    “If we get suffocated in here Claire’s going to be orphaned!” Ellyse said dramatically as she throws her hands down. Kai looked at her with furrowed brows, not knowing if she’s being serious or just dramatic. “Relax, Ellyse. We won’t suffocate in here, just wait for the maintenance team to come. I’m sure they’ve already been alerted,” He tried consoling her but her pregnancy hormones was starting to get the best of her. “God, why did we even do this!” She covered her face with her palms. “Look, we cannot do anything other than remain as calm as possible and wait,” She felt his hand on the blade of her shoulder. “I can’t force myself to stay calm in situations like this-“ “Then what do you want me to do to keep you calm?” He suddenly cut her off, leaving her dumbfounded. They looked at eac

    “I cannot believe we’re doing this,” Ellyse uttered out loud before entering Kai’s car to sit on the passenger’s seat. “Me neither,” He stated as he circled around to enter the car and finally start driving. “How the hell are we supposed to act, Kai? It’s going to be so awkward!” She said, stressed over the whole situation. Originally, they weren’t supposed to see a marriage counselor yet. However, Victoria contacted Dr. Jenkins to ask when she’s available for a consultation. Of course the doctor said today. “I don’t know, act normal?” He answered her with another question. “That’s not going to help at all!” She spat back, folding her arms over her chest. “Well then what other choices do we have, Ellyse?” He said calmly before pinching the bridge of his nose. Ellyse bit her lower lip, her eyes were trained o

    “Ellyse! Kai, you finally woke up,” Victoria greets them merrily. “Mom,” Ellyse went up to her first to plant a brief kiss om her cheek while Kai greeted his father. “Alright! Come, have breakfast please. We bought you home-cooked meals!” Victoria guided them to the dining area. “By the way, where’s Claire?” George asked from behind. “Oh, well, she’s still asleep dad. She normally wakes up late when it’s the weekends,” She stated while walking. “She’ll probably wake up soon, don’t worry,” Kai assured his parents. “That’s perfect! You know, me and your father went here to talk about her upcoming birthday,” Victoria said. They all sat on the dining area. Indeed, they did bring a lot of food. Most aren’t even breakfast food, it’s like a whole feast! There’s chicken and gravy, stir fried rice, ham, eggs, a soup of some kind and a bed of vegetables laid out.

    “W-What?” She continued on swallowing the pills before chugging a big glass of water. “The pills you just drank, aren’t they meds?” He pointed at her hand which is now rolled into a fist. Ellyse gulped harshly before licking her lips. “Uh no…t-they’re just supplements for my health,” She shrugged it off before turning around to wash the glass she drank from. “Oh well, mom called me earlier. She said her and dad will come by tomorrow,” He walked beside her. “What for?” She asked without looking at him. “To discuss about Claire’s birthday. They really want to throw her a big party. Maybe the beach outing can wait,” She nodded dismissively before looking at him. “Alright, thanks for letting me know,” Kai looked at her, his brows furrowing slightly as he tried weighing her reaction. Ellyse seemed utterly bothered, her chest has been rising back and forth and her sk

    “Mom! Dad!” Claire’s voice resounded outside of Ellyse’s room.Both of them pulled out from the hug to look at their daughter who’s now eyeing them with delight written all over her eyes.“Are you both hugging?” She beamed, her smile as wide as ever.Kai looked at Ellyse awkwardly before chuckling, “Y-Yes, darling,” He lifts her up.“Do you need anything, Claire?” She asked her.Gone the cold and nonchalant girl earlier, now she’s looking at her parents with amusement written all over her eyes. It was probably the first time she saw the two of them embrace eachother.“Can you do it again?” She jumped a little from being carried by him.Ellyse looked at Kai, not knowing what to say. “Do what, exactly, Claire?” He asked her.“Hug!” She pouted.Both of them chuckled, they had no idea what to do. Now it feels downright awkward to embrace. For some reason, she didn’t know if she should even

    “Alright then…I’ll tell Nerissa to prepare your room,” Ellyse nodded by herself. “Sure,” She didn’t expect Kai to ask her why she suddenly wanted to move back to the mansion, he was never that curious about her life anyway. But she liked it that way. She felt thankful because he didn’t press for any more questions and just agreed to have her back in the house. One of the reasons why she wanted to go back was because of her pregnancy. That way, she has maids that can help her. She doesn’t have to worry about cooking nor cleaning. She’ll really take her bedrest seriously. The call ended soon after and she proceeded to cook her lunch. She just cooked a simple vegetable soup with chicken breast. After that, she washed the dishes and was planning to take a long nap when someone knocked on her door. Her brows furrowed in confusion as she walked towards
