By morning, Bryana had woken up while Dean was still asleep. She rushed to wash her face, brush her teeth, then approached Calvin who had not yet woken up to get ready for school.
While heading to Calvin's room, Bryana meets Lauren who might wake Calvin up too.
"Lauren," said Bryan.
"Ma'am ... Let me take care of Calvin to get ready for school," Lauren exclaimed with a friendly smile. The babysitter looked fresher than yesterday. She wore a knee-length blue dress combined with a black shirt.
"No need, Lauren./I know you are in an uncomfortable period because you are pregnant. You better rest. Today there will also be a new babysitter who will help me," Bryana said with a reassuring look. She didn't want anything bad to happen to the babysitter like a few months ago.
"If I stay in the room all the time, I'll get bored, ma'am. So, I'll keep helping little by little," said Lauren.
Bryana sighed, then glanced at Sofia's bedroom door which was still closed. it was Monica's usual room right next to Raymond's, while Calvin's was next to her. "Then you take care of Sofia. Because she won't be too much trouble for you. But if you're tired or nauseous, don't push yourself. you better rest"
"Sure, ma'am."
Lauren nodded in understanding then rushed to Sofia's room while Bryana entered Calvin's room.
Bryana looked at Calvin who was still sleeping curled up while hugging the bolster. She immediately walked to the window to open the white curtains so that the sun shone through the window vent. After that, she turned off the air conditioner until her son woke up immediately because of the glare and heat.
"Wake up, love. You have to get ready for school immediately," Bryana exclaimed as she approached Calvin.
Calvin sat down and glared at Bryana curtly. "Mommy just get out. I can prepare myself!" he exclaimed.
Bryana sighed, looking at Calvin who was still angry at her. "Dear. Mommy admits that Mommy was wrong, but please don't act like this," she cried sadly.
"Because mommy, Daddy Alex, and Haikal will not be here again. Mommy is bad!" said Calvin grumpily.
"Calvin!" Call someone from the door.
Calvin turned his head to look at the person who called him, it turned out to be his stepfather. "Let daddy help me!"
Dean, who looked like he had just woken up and had washed his face but still only wore boxer shorts, approached Bryana. "Honey, you just take care of Aidyn. let me take care of Calvin, I will also advise him," he exclaimed.
"I can't deny he has almost the same character as me but it hurts so much when he rejects me," Bryana said sadly.
"Well, don't think too much about it. He's still a kid and his emotions are still unstable. I'll handle it," Dean said with a reassuring smile.
"But your hand still hurts," Bryana said.
Dean glanced at his right arm. "It doesn't hurt too much. Don't worry. You'd better go to mommy, she's having a bit of trouble taking care of a fussy Aidyn."
"In that case, okay." Bryana could only surrender, then immediately walked out of the room to approach Aidyn who was in the room to be precise on the ground floor.
Arriving on the ground floor, Bryana accidentally met Fin who already looked neat wearing a Bodyguard uniform about to leave the house.
"Fin," said Bryan.
"Ma'am," Fin replied with a warm smile.
"If you still don't feel well, it's better to rest," Bryana exclaimed with a pitying look on Fin's face, which had bruises on the bottom of his eyes and lips.
"It's all right, ma'am. Besides, I'm just sitting relaxed at the security post," said Fin.
"Have you had breakfast, took your medicine?" Bryana asked.
Fin shook his head. "I'll have breakfast with the other employees later."
Bryana sighed, her attention distracted by the sound of Aidyn crying from the room. "That's fine then, but you have to have breakfast and take your medicine. If you want to lie down, it's fine. You shouldn't work too hard today. Besides, other Bodyguards can stand guard."
"Yes ma'am." Fin nodded letting Bryana go but his heart was annoyed because it turned out that Bryana's attention was nothing more than a word. Well, could he expect to have breakfast prepared like last night's meal was prepared for dinner?

Alex glanced at Elsa who was still asleep without wearing the same clothes as her but covered by a thick silver blanket. He hugged his wife again from behind, feeling the pleasure of hugging her on a cold morning. it seems that last night's hot battle made them get back together like they used to, but will it last long?
Drettt... Drettt...
His smartphone which was located on the table rang, Alex immediately reached out to take it and saw an incoming call from Dean. he immediately received the call.
"Hello, Dean. It's really glad that you called me," said Alex, frowning.
"If you are not too busy, bring Haikal here. Calvin has been angry since last night because he thought you and Haikal wouldn't be here anymore. After all, Bryana doesn't like you," Dean shouted over the phone.
Alex glanced at Elsa who had just been nice to him. "Eh, I'll try later."
"Okay then. I'll turn off the phone first."
The telephone connection was lost. Alex put the phone back on the table. He took a deep breath and then hugged Elsa again.
"Call from whom?" asked Elsa who had woken up and knew that Alex had just received a call.
"From Dean," Alex curtly said.
"What did he say?" Elsa asked still with her back to Alex.
"He wants me to take Haikal there so he can play with Calvin," Alex replied then kissed Elsa's shoulder. "I hope you understand. It's Calvin who wants me to go there because he misses Haikal as a brother. not because I want to meet Bryana."
'It's not what you wanted, but you got a chance to glance at that ex-wife of yours, right?' Her mind was full of suspicion.
"Honey," Alex called because Elsa was silent instead.
Elsa changed her position to lie down and glanced at Alex. "Can I go today? I have a photoshoot scheduled. And I won't stop you from bringing Haikal to meet Calvin."
"I think we can go there together," Alex said sadly.
"I'm not ready to meet Bryana yet. I'm still annoyed at her attitude. So don't force me to come with you," Elsa said curtly.
"Okay, but you have to promise to come home on time and don't ignore my calls," Alex exclaimed with a sad look. He was sad because Elsa was willing to allow but also make conditions.
"Yeah, you calm down. when you come home from Dean's house, I'll be home," said Elsa then let go of Alex's arms. "I want to take a shower now."
Alex was silent letting Elsa get out of bed then walked to the bathroom. he stared at the ceiling in silence, lamenting that his family was tense again. He wanted back with Bryana as friends because they had Calvin which made them bond with each other.
