Chapter 53 - 53. A Pink Shirt

Brian nodded, he couldn't bear to refuse Elena's wish. Elise had already told her that Elena has fast-changing emotions.

Even though Brian had nodded, he remained silent with his hand that continued to rub Elena's stomach. His eyes were now staring at Elena's belly.

Elena sighed in embarrassment. "Brian! It's already noon, don't you want to take a shower?" Elana asked with an annoyed expression on her face.

Brian looked up and realized. Jeez. He withdrew his hand and stood up quickly. Then go into the bathroom.

Elena prepares Brian's clothes then goes downstairs to make breakfast. She had to replace Elise's role. Besides, she was used to helping Elise make breakfast in the morning.

Elena curled her hair and started to prepare the ingredients. She will make fried rice for breakfast this morning.

Auntie Yanti went into the kitchen area with the morning paper and put it on the dining table not far from the kitchen.

"Can i help you?"

"No, Auntie. Auntie does other work. Let me make breakfast." Usually, Elena will make breakfast with Elise. And Auntie Yanti does other jobs, such as cleaning the house. But because only Elena is there, that's why Auntie Yanti offers to help.

"All right, if you need help call aunt." Elena just nodded and Auntie Yanti went to sweep and mop the mansion.

A few minutes later Elena's fried rice was cooked. She was moving the fried rice to a container when someone walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

Elena turned around and was surprised. Rena was standing in front of the refrigerator. She poured mineral water into a glass and drank it. Rena's sharp eyes stared at Elena.

"Morning, Mom." Elena smiles greeting Rena. Rena's sharp eyes are a little scary but parents or mothers are still someone to respect. Moreover, the middle-aged woman is Brian's mother and Elise's mother-in-law. Elena has to be polite and nice to her.

Elena moved the large bowl of fried rice onto the dining table.

"What is that?" Asked Rena who had been observing Elena's movements.

"Fried rice, Mom."

An eyebrow of Rena rise. The woman looked at Elena skeptically. "You make fried rice for breakfast?"

Elena tilted her head slightly. "Yes, Mom. Why?"

Rena just didn't answer. She always remembers that her son never ate heavy food like fried rice.

"What do mommy want to drink? Tea or coffee?" Elana's question made Rena aware of her reverie.

"Tea," said Rena briefly and sat down at the dining table. The dining table and kitchen are not insulated, only a separate Bar table. Elena makes coffee for Brian and tea for Rena.

Brian appeared in a neat and smelling suit. He smiled seeing Rena who was sitting at the dining table.

"Morning, Mom," Brian said with a bright smile. Rena looked closely at Brian, her forehead furrowed after examining Brian's complete appearance. Since when did her son want to wear a pink shirt. Jeez! Rena wanted to scream and laugh to see her son who always looks macho and masculine, who likes wearing black or gray, now wearing a pink shirt. God!

The corners of Rena's lips trembled against laughter. Brian realized that. He just snorted softly and walked towards Elena.

He was sure that Rena would laugh at him soon. Earlier, when Brian finished taking a shower and went into the room, he was very surprised to see the clothes Elena had prepared for him. He did not think that the pregnant woman chose a pink shirt for him. Of the dozens of shirts in his walk-in closet, why was this pink shirt the woman chose? Brian forgot even if he owned this shirt. Gosh, what would the people in the office say if they saw him wearing a pink shirt ?!

No matter how hard Brian chuckled and cursed irritably, he still wore the clothes Elena had prepared.

Brian walked over to Elena who was still making tea.

"Morning, honey," said Brian. He gave Elena a short kiss on the cheek. Acting affectionately with the pregnant woman so that Rena doesn't suspect them.

Elena's hand that was churning out the tea stopped and her eyes widened. Shocked by Brian's impromptu action.

"Let me make milk for you." Brian doesn't care about Elena who is still in shock. The man starts making pregnant mother's milk for Elena.

A second later, Elena realized that what Brian had just done was pretend so that Rena wouldn't suspect them. Elena smiled, she also had to control the expression on her face. There was no way she would show a shocked and shocked face like that in front of Rena. Elena smiled and brought the coffee and teacups to the dining table. Then she sat in front of Rena. Soon Brian also joined by sitting at the end of the dining table, right to the left of Rena and right of Elena. Previously, the man put the pregnant mother's milk in front of Elena.

Realizing that Elena is now playing Elise, Brian's wife and there is her mother-in-law in front of her. Of course, Elena must serve Brian well. The woman took Brian's plate and ladled two scoops of fried rice onto the plate.

Rena's eyes widened, shocked by Elena's action. Since when did his son eat that much breakfast?

"Brian," said Rena, still in disbelief.

Brian turned, "Mommy should try Ele's cooking. Elise's cooking is really good, Mom."

Rena was still staring at Brian in disbelief. The man has already fed him fried rice.

"But Brian, since when did you have fried rice for breakfast. Aren't you going to have a stomach ache if you eat too much in the morning?" asked Rena.

Elena looked up at Rena and turned to Brian.

"Really? Is it true that you will have a stomach ache if you eat too much breakfast in the morning?" Elena's expression turned worried. She never knew that. She is afraid that Brian will get a stomach ache at work and ruin his schedule.

Brian saw the two women in front of him. He smiled.

"No. I don't have a stomachache. I've often had fried rice breakfast and never had a stomach ache, Mom."

"Besides, who can refuse your delicious food, honey," said Brian, looking at Elena.

Elena is sure that if there wasn't Rena at this dining table, Brian wouldn't have said that. But her heart can't lie, she's glad someone complimented her on her cooking. Moreover, that man was Brian, the man who used to be rude and always looked at her hatefully.

Brian ignored the reactions of the two women and continued eating.

Rena turned to look at Elena. Her eyes darted at Elena closely. The woman just smiled a little and started eating breakfast. Rena couldn't stop thinking. What has Elena done to her son? Not only wearing a pink shirt, but her son also has fried rice breakfast. Things Brian never did when he lived with her.

A few minutes later Brian was done eating. It was seven o'clock, he had to go to work immediately if he didn't want to be late.

"Mom, Elise, I have to go immediately." Brian rise in the aftermath of Rena and Elena.

Brian kissed Rena's right and left cheeks to say goodbye.

"Mom, I'm leaving first."

"Yes, be careful."

Brian turned and saw Elena, who was already holding her coat and briefcase. Brian smiled at her. It turned out that Elena was pretty nimble. It seems that she has become a dream wife.

Brian grabbed a coat and put it on. Elena raised her hand and Brian frowned in confusion. He looked at Elena in disbelief.

Realized Brian didn't get the point. Elena took Brian's hand and kissed his hand.

Brian was surprised. His heart was beating fast. He never thought Elena would do this. Even his wife never kisses his hand. Elena's actions thrilled his heart. Made him feel very respected and valued by Elena.

Elena stood up straight. Brian held Elena's shoulders and kissed her forehead for a long time.

"I'm leaving. Be careful at home and don't let Mommy get suspicious of you," Brian whispered softly and once again cleared Elena's forehead before walking away and waving his hand away.

Without the two of them knowing, Rena had been observing their interactions. She was surprised by Elena's action just now. Not expecting that woman would do something that other women have rarely done to her husband. One corner of Rena's lips lifted before she turned around and went to her room.

....

Brian took a deep breath before getting out of his car. He was sure that his employees would be gossiping about him wearing a pink shirt. Gosh, if it weren't for Elena, Brian definitely wouldn't want to wear it.

Brian got out of the car and walked into the building of his company, the Fernandez Corporation. Brian walked upright with a straight look. Grateful he wore a suit to cover his pink shirt. But still, female employees who have always admired his good looks will see the shirt.

"The president is wearing a pink shirt?"

"Oh my God!"

The few words and muffled screams and whispers of his employees were still heard by Brian. Made the man growl in annoyance and walk faster to his special elevator.
