At night, Luna sat relaxed on the living room sofa while watching tv accompanied by Ira. Sometimes she tried to contact Ethan or Andrew, but there was no answer. The pregnant woman felt sad because her husband had not called or texted all day.

"What happens, Mrs?" asked Ira when she realized Luna looked uneasy.

"It's okay, Ira," answered Luna, then glanced at Ira who looked sleepy. "If you're sleepy, just sleep. I'll wait for Ethan here, maybe he'll come home soon," she said.

"Yes, Mrs.. excuse me."

Ira immediately left the living room and walked to her room which was near the kitchen, while Luna was still faithfully on the sofa waiting for Ethan who never came home.

when it was ten o'clock at night, Ethan hadn't come home yet and Luna fell asleep on the sofa sideways leaning on the pillow, even the TV was still on.

Ethan got out of the car in an untidy state. he looks tired and wrinkled with a shirt that is no longer tucked in and the buttons open to the chest. The man walked into the house with lazy steps.

While crossing the living room, Ethan saw the TV that was still on, and Luna fell asleep uncomfortably on the sofa. he immediately turned off the TV, then carried his wife carefully to the room.

While crossing the stairs, Ethan carried luna in his arms while staring sadly at Luna's beautiful face, still sleeping. 'Is it true that you don't love me sincerely? Or is Edward just messing my mind again? I want proof of your love, Luna! Prove that I'm the only one in your heart,' he thought as he kept walking slowly.

When he got to the room, Ethan immediately lay down Luna's body on the bed and put a blanket around her, so that it was limited to her belly. before going to take a bath, he kissed his wife's forehead and belly first. The man seemed very genuinely affectionate but was still full of doubts.

Ethan immediately took off his clothes and put on a towel around his waist, then walked to the bathroom. he felt hot and wanted to splash his body with cold water that would make him refreshed.

'I know you still care about me, Ethan. But what made you ignore me?' Luna thought when Ethan was gone.

it turned out that Luna was awake and still closed because she wanted to see how Ethan would treat her. The man still cares, even wants to kiss her. At least it made her feel relieved and could be more patient.

Ceklek...

Ethan came out of the bathroom. luna immediately pretended to sleep again. She didn't want Ethan to find out about her ploy, because she was afraid that her husband would get angry and get away from her.

Ethan glanced at Luna who still looked asleep but her position had changed with the blankets up. he smiled faintly remembering that his wife often felt hot and was more comfortable on her side while sleeping. The man immediately took a pajama suit in the wardrobe, then put it on. After that, he combed his hair which was still a little wet, and immediately followed lying on the bed.

Ethan lay on his side facing Luna who was still pretending to sleep. He looked sadly at Luna's wife's face and again remembered the photo that had been sent by Edward.

'Is it true that you always surprise him every month to commemorate the anniversary of your relationship? then why are you not like that to me? For seven months of marriage, two months you just accepted me as a husband. But you only surprised me once on my birthday. Am I insignificant to you,' Ethan thought.

He was secretly jealous of the photo Edward had sent. indeed it was just a portrait of the past, but it succeeded in making Ethan less sure of Luna's love for him. Ah, Edward managed to mess with his mind.

Luna felt the urge to pee because it was her habit to always do it before going to bed. she wanted to go to the bathroom right away but was afraid Ethan would find out that she hadn't slept since. In the end, she chose to hold it until Ethan was completely asleep.

'oh God, how's this?' thought Luna as she held back the urge to urinate.

Slowly Luna felt Ethan not moving anymore and thought he was asleep. She couldn't take it anymore and immediately sat up and walked towards the bathroom.

"Hasn't she slept since earlier?" Ethan thought as he glanced at Luna, who was walking hurriedly.

Ceklek ....

Ethan, who had not slept, immediately closed his eyes when he saw Luna had come out of the bathroom. He was still lazy to argue about Edward and wanted to know how his wife would continue to patiently prove her love. think of it as a lesson so that pregnant women are more mature and respect themselves as husbands.

Luna felt relieved and immediately got back into bed. She wanted to approach Ethan but was afraid of being rejected. Just remembering this morning didn't want to be touched. finally, the pregnant woman just lay down looking at her husband's face, who was still handsome even though he was sleeping.

Finally, the husband and wife pretended to sleep with each other until they fell asleep for real.historical

Elsewhere, Viona was seeing Edward, who had been staring at an old laptop that she didn't know about. She was curious about what her husband saw so she felt at home for a long time staring at the sophisticated object and ignored its presence.

"Edward."

"Why?"

"Are you busy or avoiding me? What are you doing for hours in front of that laptop?" Viona asked as she approached Edward.

"None of your business!" Edward replied curtly, then closed the laptop and led it into the workspaces.

viona sighed as she stared at Edward's back, which was fading away from her sight. She was saddened by her husband's indifference. this woman felt the beauty of a household when welcoming a prospective baby who was still being conceived. now, her husband again showed his rejection.

Arriving at the workspace, Edward opened his laptop again and continued his activities. He transferred all the memorable photos of himself with Luna that were still saved to his smartphone. after that, he sent some to Ethan's instagram account.

"This way, you won't be sure that Luna loves you," Edward muttered with a sinister grin. It seemed that he was still trying to mess with his stepbrother's mind. his selfish nature seemed to be getting more and more ingrained into an obsession. an obsession to win over his old love.

Edward's cunning, it will only make Luna hate him even more and reject him outright. Ethan also would never let Luna be snatched away. although he still doubts about his love.

From the door, Viona secretly peeked at Edward's activities. She felt even sadder because it turned out that her husband was running to make Ethan and Luna even more out of sync.

'I didn't think you would be this crazy for love. I had to warn Ethan to always defend Luna. Because if they grow apart and divorce, I will lose Edward,' Viona thought.

not wanting Edward to be angry and to be rude to her, Viona immediately went back to the room before Edward realized that he was being watched
