THE LONG LOST LOVE (T3L) - Chapter 54:My Wife Is Not Her Servant
The next day,
Athena asks the servant to prepare one room for Jye Yin since she will be staying at the mansion as until she delivers.
She is now three months pregnant. So she needs to be treated carefully. Jye Yin already announces to media that she will take a break from her career until she delivers the baby and make a request to her fans for not disturbing her and Aslan while she was on break.
She is quite sly though. She makes that statement is so that her fans more blaming Aslan and had a lot of speculation on him. Like she was threatened by Aslan to clear his name and she makes it looks like was she was provoked by his wife and like always… a man is always at the fault. While the woman is always a victim. That is how the people in the net world sees.
All the news and unimportant things, Athena just close her eyes and deafened her ear. She believes in Aslan. If he said that he didn’t do it, then he really didn’t. She starts to become numb with the news and rumor around them.
In the afternoon, Jye Yin moves in into Aslan’s mansion.
Athena shows her, her room and all the facilities that they have in that house. She already takes in-charge as a real Madam in the house.
“The second floor on the right wing is our private room. You’re not allowed to go there. All the other space is free for you to use. You can summon and instruct my servant, however, they just help you to lighten the things for you. They are not your own people. You got it?” Athena asks her.
“Umm…Athena..is my presence here will make things worse between you and Aslan? You know, he was my..ermm.. when we still kid..” she still on her acts.
“Don’t worry about that. I trust my husband. As you see, we still stay together as one.” she assured her.
“Oh..that’s good then..” she cursing her inwardly but she put on the smile at the outside.
“Take a rest, I will ask my servant to prepare your lunch.” she smiles and went to one of the maids who standing behind her. Waiting for her orders.
“Prepare Miss Jye with a nutritious dish.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
She then walks back to her room on the second floor.
Aslan was there. He didn’t go down at all to greet Jye Yin. Little by little, he feels like he annoyed with her childish moves.
Things like pregnant and DNA can be settled without going to the public but then it still happens that way. All because she said something that will make people have the misunderstanding.
Its happen since they were still as a friend. And now, all the rumors and speculation has been attacking him back.
Athena open the glass sliding door to the balcony. Aslan was there sitting on the rounded rattan swing, staring at the sky.
She touches her shoulder and Aslan turn to look at her. He opens his arm like he wants to hug her.
Athena chuckles a bit and she sits on his lap leaning on his body while Aslan wraps his hand around her body.
Kiss her top of the head, he asks “Is she arrive yet?”
“Hmm. In her room.”
“Athena..will you be alright with her staying with us?”
“I’ll be fine.” she touches his cheek with her hand without turning her body.
“If you don’t feel comfortable with her staying here, I could find another place for her and hire a private doctor for her and the baby.”
“As..we can’t do that. Teacher Jye will make you in a bad situation again. Enough with what you had to deal right now. Your company is more important. Stabilized your company first and we deal with the baby later.”
“…”
“Aslan..you know I can’t give you any child right? How about if we just accept the baby and..”
Aslan immediately covers her mouth using his palm.
“Athena please..don’t ask me to do something that I don’t want to..I just want to stay by your side and I don’t care if we don’t have any child at all. I’m not that desperate to get a child.” he kisses her shoulder.
Athena lean her head on his chest and close her eyes. She nodding her head, understand. Deep down inside her heart, she feels so sad because she can’t leave him with their own child when she is gone later.
And Aslan also refused to take Jye Yin’s child as his. Is he gonna stayed alone when she has gone?
Both of them stare at the blue sky from the balcony. They didn’t say anything after Athena nodded. Like they were absorbed into another world, however, they still can feel the heart beating from each other.
“Sir, sorry to interrupt you and Madam, but Miss Jye said that she is not feeling well. She keeps vomiting and she can’t eat the food that we provided for her.” one of his servants suddenly said when they were in dazed.
Both of them turn to look at the servant. Immediately, the servant lowered his gaze and his head too.
“What did you serve her lunch?” Athena asks while Aslan keeps silent.
“We serve her lunch with a vegetable soup and some milk.”
“Ermm. Try to change her course with something a bit spicy and sour.” Athena said.
“But Madam..she requests to meet with sir Aslan.” the servant said again.
Aslan turns to him with a cold expression. “Tell her, I’m busy with my wife. Anything that she wants she can ask any of you to do it. And..please tell her, my wife is not her servant. Don’t ever try to boss her around. Or I will fire all of you.”
Athena frowned with what she just heard. The servant also gulps after he hearing that. Never he thought that the Master will be this strict to them. He used to be very gentle to everyone.
“As..”
“No, don’t ask me to stop. Who asks her to make me this furious? Trying to bossing you and me around? Nope, I’m not that dumb. I can’t just follow every word she said.” Aslan really pissed off right now.
Athena didn’t say anything. She shakes her head and stood up.
“I’ll be checking on her. And, don’t stop me. I do this for the sake of ‘woman’ instinct. She just having bad morning sickness.” she said gently and bend her body to kiss his lips.
Aslan did return her kiss. He sighing seeing Athena still want to care about other people than her own heart.
He still remembers how sad she is when she knows Jye Yin pregnant and claim that the baby is his. How could he forget the woman he loved with all his heart crying helplessly knowing that she can’t give him a child.
Make his family name look bad in front of the whole world. Not only him, but Athena also got the title as ‘Bitch’, ‘Third wheel’, ‘Shameless woman’ and everything that is not a good impression at all. That happens all because he refused to admit the thing that he didn’t do it and he really pissed off when all the lead shows him as the bad guy.
However, he still grateful that Athena still stayed at his side and not even leaving him in his darkest day. She always there with him. That makes him loved her so much. He never said it to her, but he hoped that Athena can see how he loved her with every act that he showed her.
…
Knock! Knock!
“Are you okay?” Athena said when she sees Jye Yin sit down on the bed with a pale face.
“Ermm. Where is As?” she nodded and look at her likes she was looking for Aslan.
“He still busy with his work. If you not feeling well, I can call a doctor for you.”
“Erm… I’m still okay. I never know it hard to be a mother. Having a heartbeat inside your womb makes you feel full of wonder and it feels likes a thousand butterflies flying inside my belly. I can’t wait to see whether it is a boy or girl.” She smiles contently.
“Hmm.” Athena lowered her eyes a bit.
“You know, I wonder if this child will look like who…I mean, people often say that if its a girl, they will look like her father. But if it was a boy, they will look like his mother. What do you think Athena?”
“It doesn’t matter who the baby will look like. As long the baby is healthy right?”
“Ah..you right. I feel so excited. I’m sorry.” she said while making a sorry face.
Athena smile a bit. “I ask the servant to change your lunch course. I hope you will able to eat it. My sister-in-law also had a similar situation like you when she was pregnant.”
“Urm. Thank you, Athena. You so nice.” she smiles. While in her heart she keeps cursing her.
“I just do what I can.”
Stood up, she went out from the room leaving Jye Yin taking her rest.
