As usual, the four people living in one of the penthouses in London had finished their dinner. Two of the four people are men and women who have a slightly complicated relationship. They are divorced, but have kids and live together.
While the other two are male fraternal twins who are five years old and really active.
The two kids immediately did what they wanted to do. The dark brown, who was born first, is seen picking up his book and colored pencils and starting to draw.
While the other, the blonde, was seen immediately taking the lego that was stored in a box, and pouring its contents on the floor.
He then called his Daddy to accompany him to play, making the man who had been busy, immediately approached his youngest son and helped him arrange the lego.
Even though he was putting together Legos with his son, that didn't stop the man who was already forty years old from taking a break from what he did. After all, he's busy.
Busy to stare at the only woman who lives there, who is currently washing the dirty dishes they used at dinner.
However, the man didn't think that the little boy in front of him was currently watching him. The blonde boy could sense that his Daddy's attention wasn't fully focused on him, and when he saw him, he was right.
The little boy then followed the direction of his Daddy's gaze and found that his Daddy was staring at his Mommy.
The little boy then tapped the floor with his index finger, a habit he got from his Daddy when he was thinking about something.
Why is his Daddy looking at his Mommy who is washing the dishes?
Ah!
As if getting an epiphany, the boy soon found the answer.
"Mommy!" call the boy.
"Yes, Gabriel?" Sarah asked without turning her head as she was busy washing the dishes which were about to be finished.
"Are you still cleaning the dishes?" Gabriel asked again.
Sarah finally turned when she heard that, her hands still wet with soap and water.
"Why? Do you need anything?" Sarah asked confusedly.
As soon as she saw Gabriel playing with Michael, Sarah shifted her gaze to the man, trying to figure out what was going on, but Michael just shrugged his shoulders, not knowing.
"That… Looks like Daddy wants to poo-poo!" said Gabriel innocently.
"Hah?" Sarah looked confused, and so did Michael.
"What do you mean, Gabriel?" asked Michael in confusion. Why would his son suddenly say something like that?
"Eh? Isn't that the reason Daddy keeps staring at Mommy?" asked Gabriel in bewilderment.
After dinner, he usually wants to go for poo poo, but he's afraid to go to the bathroom alone so he needs his Mommy. However, his Mommy always washed the dishes after they finished eating, so while holding it in, he just stared at his Mommy.
Just like his Daddy did.
Sarah looked at Michael in annoyance when she heard her son's explanation. Of course it wasn't because Michael wanted to go to the toilet and needed her help, but had he seriously been looking at her since she was washing the dishes?
Why he be so obvious?
Well… after the conversation and sex they had earlier, Sarah could sense that Michael was constantly staring at her and smiling as she looked back at the man.
Her relationship with Michael improved.
However, Sarah didn't think Michael would be that clear in front of the kids. Was he not at all shy of it? Because Sarah was really shy.
Even so, a smile appeared on Sarah's face as she turned her face to focus on washing the dishes.
So… Michael has been watching her all this time and can't take his face off her back?
Well… it made Sarah feel good.
Meanwhile, Michael laughed at what his youngest son said. He knew his son was smart, and his imagination was wide. However, he had no idea his son would think he was staring at Sarah because he wanted company to go poo poo.
Well… he probably did need Sarah's company to go to the bathroom, but obviously poo poo wasn't exactly what he was going to do with that woman.
On the other hand, Raphael, who was drawing not far from them, just shook his head at his little brother's behavior.
To be honest, he realized that his Daddy was watching his Mommy because he had been trying to sneak a peek at what Daddy and his brother were doing, and had thought about joining them.
However, seeing his Daddy busy, Raphael decided not to bother him.
Of course he, who was older, understood the meaning of his Daddy's gaze. He was definitely not like his younger brother, who was clueless.
His Daddy is trying to seduce Mommy!
Gabriel's brow furrowed, confused by what had happened.
Why is Daddy laughing? Is he wrong?
"Then why did Daddy see Mommy?" asked Gabriel in bewilderment.
Michael stopped laughing when he heard his youngest son's curious question.
"Doesn't Mommy look really pretty?" Michael asked with a smile.
Gabriel's facial expression looked confused hearing that. Was that the reason his Daddy saw his Mommy?
Gabriel then turned to Sarah who was still washing the dishes. He agrees that his Mommy is pretty, but right now he can't see his Mommy's face. So… why did his Daddy say his Mommy looks pretty?
"But I can't see Mommy's face!" said Gabriel in confusion, not understanding how his Mommy could look so beautiful, even though he can't see his Mommy's face
Michael smiled at the question.
"You'll find out later," Michael replied.
Gabriel's face grew even more confused hearing that. What did his dad mean by that? Will he find out later? When?
Gabriel opened his mouth again, wanting to ask what his Daddy meant, but suddenly he heard a song playing, and his Daddy immediately stood up and went to his cellphone.
He knew what that meant. His dad was on the phone.
After seeing who was calling him, Michael picked it up and immediately went to the balcony for some privacy. The expression on his face was different when he picked up the phone and heard what the caller had to say.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Michael then hung up the phone and went back inside. He could see that Raphael was still busy drawing, and Gabriel was looking at him with a curious expression on his face.
"Sorry, Gabriel, Daddy has to go. We'll continue playing later, okay?" said Michael, smiling apologetically and stroking his youngest son's head.
Gabriel pouted his lips, displeased with that, and it made Michael feel guilty and want to play with his youngest son.
However, he steeled his heart not to do that. Right now there was something important he had to do, and after that, he could go back to playing with his son.
"Did something happen?" Sarah asked as Michael walked toward the stairs.
It was the first time Michael would go out after getting a call in the night, and Sarah was both curious and worried.
"Nothing. That's James, he told me to go to the office because there is work to be done," said Michael with a reassuring smile.
Sarah stayed silent and nodded her head. She felt a little strange about it because when there was work, James was usually told to come here.
However, Sarah immediately shook her head. Maybe Michael had something important to do and needed him to come to the office.
After all, she and Michael had agreed to open up to each other. So there's no way Michael would lie to her, right?
***
In one of the factories that have been used for a long time, there is a woman sitting on a chair with her hands and feet tied, and her eyes are covered by a cloth.
The woman's mouth made several cries for help, or curses at the person who put her in this position.
However, no matter how the woman tried to scream, no one came to her aid, or approached her. Perhaps, that's the reason the person who kidnapped her didn't keep her mouth shut, because they knew that this time there would be no one to help the woman.
"Damn it!" cursed the woman in a voice that began to sound hoarse.
"Okay, try to calm yourself first," the woman mumbled softly and then started to take deep breaths to calm herself.
After feeling calmer, she tried to remember what happened earlier. She was out shopping, and when she arrived at the basement of her apartment, suddenly someone grabbed her with a handkerchief and made her weak.
"Damn it! Am I being kidnapped right now?" muttered the woman who finally realized her current situation.
She didn't understand at all why those people had kidnapped her. Was it because of her luxurious appearance that they thought she was rich?
That was all the woman could think of. After all, there's no other reason those guys would kidnap her, right?
However, the next second the woman who had blonde hair became shocked when she finally saw who the kidnapper was.
"Michael?"
