Chapter 251 - Prepare
At seven o'clock at night, Bryana was still waiting for Dean in the living room. She sat on the sofa while holding Aidyn who had not slept. the woman took the baby in a joke that often showed her very adorable laugh, she even kissed the babywearing the gray sweater many times.
Drettt... Drettt...
Her smartphone which was on the table near the sofa rang. Bryana immediately took the phone and saw an incoming message from Dean.
___I'm waiting for you somewhere. Come here when Aidyn has slept well. Dany will take you here. I love you___
Bryana put a smile on her lips after reading the message. She imagined what surprise her husband was preparing to make him unable to go home and chose Dany to take her.
"Honey, tonight you sleep with grandma. but mommy promise, after tonight won't leave you again," said Bryana, looking at Aidyn who was busy sucking his thumb while looking at the hanging yellow decorative lights that illuminated the living room along with other lights.
"Bryana," Lily called, who had just come from the living room.
"Mom," said Bryan.
"If you have to prepare to leave now, that's okay. Let me put Aidyn to sleep," Lily said as she sat beside Bryana.
Bryana smiled shyly and asked, "did Dean tell mom about his plans tonight?"
"He just said that I must take care of Aidyn because you will be invited to spend the night somewhere. I don't know where he is," Lily explained casually, looking at Bryana, who turned out to be having a birthday.
"Em, happy birthday, Bryana. Sorry, I can't give you anything. I just found out that today is your birthday," Lily said with a warm smile.
"It's okay, Mom. You just need to pray for the continuity of this family, it's like a gift for me. You are very kind and understanding as a mother-in-law, I consider you like my biological mother," Bryana replied with a warm smile. staring at her mother-in-law's face which was already quite wrinkled, made her imagine if her biological mother was still alive, maybe she was the same age as her mother-in-law.
"I always pray for the harmony of your marriage with Dean, the harmony of the big family here, and I am very grateful to have you as mother's daughter-in-law, you raise Dean's life spirit, you are a good mother to Sofia," said Lily then hugged Bryana briefly because Aidyn still in Bryana's lap.
Not feeling a single tear falling from her eye, Bryana cried because she was very touched and missed her mother. Lily immediately wiped her daughter-in-law's tears and smiled at her.
"Don't cry, dear. now is the time for you to enjoy your peaceful life, your mother is also at peace in heaven with your father. Think of me as your biological mother," Lily exclaimed while rubbing Bryana's shoulder.
Bryana nodded and tried to smile stoically even though her heart was breaking on her birthday without having parents anymore. Only Dean, Raymond, and the people around her became her spirit, being her place to rely on when she was feeling down. ah yes, and Aidyn's attendance is entertainment for her. Just seeing her smile that is so cute and sweet, can give coolness to her heart whenever she is upset.
Lily sighed, turning to look at Aidyn who didn't seem to want to sleep. "You better get ready..after you prepare then breastfeed Aidyn, he will surely sleep and you can leave immediately. Dean must have been waiting for you," she exclaimed.
"Okay then, I'm ready now," Bryana said as she handed Aidyn to her mother-in-law's lap. after that she rushed to the room to clean up as beautifully as possible because tonight was a special night with Dean.
___
In a minimalist house with monochrome nuances, but equipped with modern furniture, it even has two floors. dean is busy in a room while scribbling a brush on special cardboard, drawing a facial pattern similar to Bryana's. Ah, he was painting his wife's face by imitating the photo on his smartphone.
with only a shirtless and wearing white boxer shorts, Dean continues to paint as best as possible to get results that are similar to Bryana's face. The man was even sweating and splattered with paint
"I haven't painted in a long time, I finally painted her face. doesn't look good, but hopefully, this painting isn't too bad for her," Dean muttered with a faint smile at the near-finished painting.
___
Elsewhere, Elsa meets Carlos at a restaurant because during the afternoon she was rejected by the man. After all, he was busy with office matters.
"So he never saw you again after hurting Bryana?" Elsa asked.
"No," said Carlos. "It's useless, the accident didn't kill Bryana. I'm lazy to have a relationship with your husband again, he just likes to tactics but never gets satisfactory results. I don't care about him anymore, but..."
"But what?" Elsa asked.
"My car that Alex used was found in the middle of the road empty," Carlos replied.
Elsa frowned. "So Alex disappeared from the car?"
"I do not know." Carlos looked indifferent.
Elsa was worried and began to worry about Alex's condition, who had not been given any news for a long time. She was worried that her husband would be kidnapped and harmed because there was no way he could just leave the car in the middle of the road.
"You have to help me find Alex," Elsa exclaimed.
"Hey, don't tell me because I don't care about your husband!" said Carlos curtly.
"You have to look for him because he disappeared after taking your car. I believe he was a victim of a crime by your enemies, thinking he had something to do with you!" Elsa exclaimed with a sharp look.
Carlos sighed and stared wildly at Elsa's tantalizing chest, then leaned his hands on the table. "I'll help you find it. But...."
"But what?" Elsa asked annoyed.
"Satisfy me," said Carlos with a wild look. gosh, that man only thinks about lust.
"You crazy! I can't possibly make love to someone who is not my husband!" cried Elsa furiously.
Carlos took a shaky breath then got up and said, "Then I won't help you find your stupid husband!"
Elsa was silent thinking about Carlos' words. She felt resentful but couldn't do much to find her husband other than to get the help of that bastard.
Seeing that Elsa was silent, Carlos left her.
"I do!" said Elsa firmly.
Carlos smiled crookedly and turned to look at Elsa, then leaned in so that their faces were close together. "Come with me tonight."
"But order your people to find Alex tonight," Elsa said curtly but couldn't hide her sadness at having to sell herself for her husband's safety.
"Okay, I'll call them right now," Carlos said casually then reached into his trouser pocket to contact his messengers to find Alex's whereabouts. he contacted someone while continuing to stare wildly at Elsa who he realized was indeed beautiful, prettier than the prostitute who now lived with him.
