Sister, Will You Be Pregnant With My Husband’s Child - Chapter 198
Elena heard Yanti’s question and she saw Brian coming back into the room. Elena could see from the look on Brian’s face, if Yanti’s question made him feel guilty again.
So, Elena smiled at Brian and answered Yanti’s question. “I’m sure he didn’t mean to make my allergies come back. Because the sender doesn’t know if I have an allergy to pollen. Is it true that Brian?”
The look in Elena’s eyes that looked back at Yanti made the old woman turn her head and see Brian who was walking nervously towards them. And with Elena’s words, Yanti can conclude that the sender of that fateful flower bouquet is Brian.
“Sorry, I didn’t know if you have a pollen allergy.” Said Brian again. After getting a full of investigating eyes from Yanti.
“I have already forgiven you.” Elena replied briefly and switched to teasing Dean who was now lying beside her. Brian, who was standing on the side of the bed, also stared at Dean’s face who was smiling broadly.
Seeing that scene, made Yanti understand that they needed time to be together. So, the old woman walked out of Elena’s room.
“Elena, I’m sorry. I really did not know that you have a pollen allergy.” Said Brian apologized once again. He was afraid that Elena would think badly of him.
“I’ve forgiven you earlier, Brian. So there’s no need to apologize again.” Elena answered softly and tickled Dean’s armpits. Making the handsome baby laugh at Elena’s naughty action against him.
“I know, I’m just afraid you think badly of me who sent you that damn flower bouquet.”
“Of course not. So, don’t worry. I don’t think badly or anything for your actions that send flowers to me.”
“And Thank you for sending the flowers. The rose bouquet is very beautiful and fragrant, if there were no baby breath flowers it would have been even more beautiful.”
“Yes, next time I’ll be more careful if I want to send you a bouquet of flowers.”
Elena just smiled at what Brian said. Now that man also started teasing Dean. And they laughed together seeing how Dean was excited about the ignorant actions of his parents.
….
This morning Elena is well again. It seemed like she used to get up in the morning helping Yanti make breakfast and bathe Dean. Brian, neatly dressed in his work suit, walked over to the dining table. Elena is still busy carrying and giving milk to Dean.
“How are you?” Asked Brian who sat on the head chair and glanced at Elena who was standing on his right side.
“I’m cured. So, don’t worry.” Elena was still carrying and cradling Dean. And slowly the baby fell back asleep. Dean’s been up since five in the morning. So, naturally now he is sleepy again.
“Is Dean sleeping?” Brian asked curiously because there was no sound or movement from the handsome baby.
“Yes, he was asleep after being full of milk.”
“Give Dean to Yanti. Let her put Dean in his baby box. And you have breakfast with me.” Elena did not reject or oppose Brian’s suggestion at all, because she was already hungry.
Elena gives Dean to Yanti. And the old woman picked Dean up and went to put the sleeping Dean in his baby box.
Then Elena sat in the chair to Brian’s right. And take her breakfast. This morning Elena cooked her favorite special fried rice. And Brian also always likes Elena’s fried rice as a breakfast menu.
“Brian, I have something to talk to you about.” Said Elena after she saw Brian finish breakfast
“Yes, what?” Brian asked a little confused by what Elena would say.
“I’m planning to work again at the wonderful cafe. My previous job.” Said Elena looked Brian’s eyes seriously.
“What? You want to work? Didn’t I give you my unlimited card. Is that still lacking?” Brian’s tone rose an octave. And his forehead frowned in confusion.
“That card is more than enough. But I can’t use it to my heart’s content.” Elena replied firmly.
“What do you mean?”
“We’re not in a very close relationship. So, I feel like I don’t have the right to use your money to my heart’s content. I accepted the card, because I thought I could buy Dean’s necessities.” Suddenly Elena’s words sparked a fire of anger in Brian’s body.
“What do you mean we’re not in a close relationship ?!” Brian shouted in a high voice. Brian felt angry and annoyed at Elena’s words.
“Do you think the expression of my love for you at the diego wedding party was just a joke. I even proposed to you at that time and you are now saying that we are not in a close relationship.” Brian’s slurs at length.
Elena was surprised by Brian’s sudden anger. Maybe Elena’s words would sound wrong if she repeated it again. What Elena meant was not like that.
“It’s not like that, Brian. I mean, I’m not your wife yet. So I feel uncomfortable spending your money.” It’s clear Elena is trying to make Brian understand her inconvenience in using the man’s money.
“You don’t have to hesitate, just use that card to buy whatever you want.” Brian still stands by his opinion. He wanted to support Elena financially. And do not want that woman to experience the slightest difficulty. Elena can buy whatever she wants with Brian’s money. And that man will not be angry at all.
“Yes, I’m understand. But I want to have the money I work for myself. Plus I get a little bored if I stay at home all day long. So I want to go back to work.” Elena again explains her wish to Brian.
“Then what about Dean? You said you would take care of him, yourself without hiring a baby sister. If you work, then who is Dean with?”
“Dean will come to work with me.”
” What?!”
“Shelina said I could bring Dean to the cafe. And Dean could play with his son. Of course someone will watch over them. I also do not work long hours. Shelina said I can work parttime. So, I do not work full time.” Said Elena explained. The thing that made Brian think hard.
“So, I can work again, right?” Elena asked once again with her eyes fixed on Brian. From the look in her eyes there were strong hope and desires. Elena hopes Brian understands her wish and grants her wish.
“Please, you know I really like making cakes. It’s been a long time since the last time. And I also love working at a wonderful cafe. Everyone who works there is like family to me.” Elena spoke again when Brian just stared at her silently without speaking.
“So may I go back to work?”
Brian fell silent. He thinks of Elena’s words. Yes, that woman really likes to bake. And she must be really tired of being at home all day. Back when Elena was pregnant Brian could forbid it for the good of the fetus. But now, Brian can’t possibly prohibit or curb Elena’s freedom. It’s very good after all, Elena asked for his opinion and permission to work. That means Elena respects and considers Brian’s decision.
“Are you sure Dean will be okay while you work?” Brian asked worrying about Dean’s condition, who would join Elena to work later, if he agreed to the woman’s wish.
“Yes, I guarantee you. Denis, Shelina’s son has a babysitter, so she’ll be watching Dean playing with Denis.”
“Besides, I’m not always in the kitchen. I can accompany Dean and Denis when I’m done baking cookies.”
“So?” Elena asked with teary eyes full of application. How could Brian survive Elena’s eyes like that. So Brian nodded in agreement.
“All right. You can work. But remember to always pay attention to Dean’s needs. And don’t work too long parttime.”
“Take it easy. I’ve talked to Shelina, I can work for five hours a day.”
“Alright then.”
“Thanks, Brian.” Said Elena with a big smile. A bright smile shone brighter than this sunshine again. Enchanted Brian and fall in love with Elena even more. He is grateful that he has allowed Elena to work, so that he can see how happy and happy Elena is right now.
“Are you that happy, to be able to work again?” Brian asked curiously.
“Yes, of course. The people who work at the wonderfull cafe are like family to me. And I also took part in the opening of the cafe. So, the wonderfull cafe has its own meaning for me. And there I also met Elise for the first time in many years. Not meet up.” Elena’s face beamed.
