By the time it was eleven o''clock at night, Ethan had just returned from out of town. He walked into the house that already looked very quiet and went straight to his room with rxed steps. The man looked very tired and disheveled, plus his beard had thickened again.


    when got to the room, Ethan saw Luna sleeping on the sofa without a nket, even the window was still open. He approached his wife who had probably fallen asleep while waiting for him. The man looked down and kissed his wife''s forehead and then looked at her beautiful face even though she was sleeping.


    "I love you and I believe you love me," Ethan whispered. He began to trust Luna''s love again because of her willingness to give birth by cesarean section, even though she felt sorry because her smooth belly would be scratched by a medical knife.


    Ethan stood back up and walked to the window and quickly closed it. After that, he returned to Luna and carried her to the bed. He''d rather move her than wake her up. because he understands that pregnant women are very difficult to sleep when they wake up in the middle of the night.


    Even though Luna was getting heavier, Ethan easily carried her to the bed and immediatelyy down. He immediately covered her, then left her to the bathroom. the man immediately took a shower because he felt very hot and sticky.


    Luna blinked her eyes and nced around. She realized she had moved on to the bed, then heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. The pregnant woman sat up and saw her husband''s shoes on the floor and his tuxedo on the edge of the bed.


    Luna got out of bed, then packed Ethan''s shoes and tuxedo into the dirty clothes hampered. After that, she also prepared pajamas for her husband to wearter.


    Check...


    Ethan just came out of the bathroom wearing only a white towel up to his waist. He walked over to Luna while wiping his wet hair with a small red towel.


    "Why are you awake? You''ll have difficulty sleeping again." Ethan took the pajamas from Luna''s hand and quickly put them on.


    "I don''t know, I suddenly woke up." Luna walked back to the bed and sat up. She looked at Ethan who was changing and moved to the front of the dresser and brushed his hair.


    feeling that he was fresher and neater by wearing body perfume, Ethan approached Luna who was already waiting on the edge of the bed. He sat down and nced at his wife.


    "Tomorrow I have to go to Bandung. I hope you''re not mad because I''ll be homete again," said Ethan.


    Luna sighed in exasperation and asked, "what''s the need to go there? Can''t you have Andrew as a representative?"


    "No," replied Ethan and then changed his position to face Luna. "Tomorrow is the inauguration of mypany''s new branch there. As CEO, I have toe to encourage and motivate the employees there," he exined.


    Luna looked down and tried to understand how busy Ethan was with his profession and position as CEO. "Okay, if that is the case. I can''t help it," she said stoically.


    Ethan saw Luna''s face etched with a tinge of sadness. He held his wife''s fingers and said, "Actually I want to invite you to introduce you as my wife. But your circumstances don''t allow it. I promise, This is thest time I go before you give birth."


    "Yes, I understand," replied Luna with a t gaze, then shifted her body to lie in the middle of the bed.


    Ethan immediately followed Luna byying down beside her. he made a very close distance and touched his wife''s distended belly.


    "Nathalie had already seen the doctor and manage your cesarean section," said Ethan.


    "When is the operation?" Luna asked while holding Ethan''s hand which was on her belly.


    "The next nine days," said Ethan, then moved to kiss Luna''s stomach. "Hey baby, we''ll meet in a bit. You have to be healthy in there," he said with an amused smile.


    "Before I operate, can I ask you something?" Luna asked as she brushed Ethan''s hair.


    "Just tell me," Ethan shouted.


    "Pick up my mom and your mom. I want them to wee the birth of the twins. They also have never met before," said Luna. She wanted to see her mother with mother-inw together, who had not met for a long time.


    "That''s okay, I''ll pick up your mom and Andrew will pick up my mom," replied Ethan. He moved back to align his body with Luna, then hugged her.


    Luna was relieved that Ethan''s attitude was no longer cold to her. although it must be with a condition of proof of cesarean section. She felt more scared than imagining giving birth the normal way. However, it was her husband''s will that could not be refused.


    "Go to sleep, it''s gettingte," Ethan called with his eyes closed. he seemed very tired and sleepy.


    "Yeah,ter I''ll fall asleep by myself," Luna replied as she buried her face in Ethan''s arms. That way she will easily fall asleep because she smells the smell of her husband who has be an addiction to her.

    In another ce


    Viona was in the living room waiting for Edward who had not yete home. She sat as she continued to call her husband but there was no response at all. this for the umpteenth time her husband came homete at night and did not care about who was waiting for him.


    Fiona''s gaze shifted to Edward who had juste from the living room. She stared hatefully at her husband who was staggering around in his messy clothes. Untucked shirts, messy hair, and a strong smell of alcohol. the woman immediately got up and approached her husband who just passed by without greeting her.


    "You''re drunk, you stink."


    "What''s the problem with you, huh?" Edward asked, grinning at Viona.


    "You should change your attitude, Edward. You shouldn''t ruin yourself just because of that woman!" said Viona in a high tone. She was sick of seeing her husband change into a drunk and not taking care of himself or hispany.


    "She has a name, which is Lu ... na!" Edward confirmed with red eyes looking at Viona. the man seemed very unconscious.


    Viona approached the staggering Edward and intended to lead him to the room. But he immediately pushed her away until she fell.


    "Edward! Can''t you appreciate me one bit? I''m still your wife, you shouldn''t treat me like this." Viona started to get emotional again with teary eyes.


    "Aren''t you also tired of my rude attitude? I will never change until Luna returns to be mine!" Edward pointed at Viona.


    viona got up and said, "she keeps ignoring you, Edward. You should just give up. Better focus on our household!"


    Edward smirked instead and plopped down on the sofa, then put his legs outstretched on the table. the man looked very impudent and looked at his wife like there was no pity at all.


    "Just so you know, she''s almost nine! Ethan doesn''t love her anymore and she''sing back to me." Edward pointed at Viona and again said, "while you haven''t given birth, you will be the first wife and she is the second. If your child is born, I will divorce you and she will be my only wife."


    Viona is getting annoyed and hurt. even though at that time she knew Edward was drunk, but drunk people usually tell the truth. And her husband''s n hurt her.


    "You''re going too far, Edward. How can you say it that easily!" viona cried and immediately walked into the room without waiting for Edward''s response again.
