Dean drove his car down the streets of Bandung at an average speed. He planned to take Bryana and their son somewhere comfortable. Sometimes the man glanced at his wife who was sitting beside him while holding the baby in a slightly seated position, showing the view from the car window. Yes, although the baby only responds with silence and slightly rounded eyes when close to another car or looking at a large tree on the side of the road.
"He likes to be taken out for walks," Bryana muttered, looking down at her baby who was stunned at the sight.
"Next time we have to take him out for a walk to a beautiful nature so that he doesn't grow up relying only on modern things," said Dean then reached out his hand to stroke Aidan's head. "I want him to be a tough young man, a nature lover, and responsible."
"But he will be the CEO. what I have, will be his own," said Bryana, remembering that she has many inheritances. Calvin has his inheritance and so does Sofia, so she will pass on the inheritance she has to Aidyn.
"Even though he's the CEO, he has to be a tough guy able to adapt anywhere, because not forever someone will be in luxury and served by an assistant. He must have self-defense skills and survive in times of urgency such as getting lost in the forest or being confronted by thugs. That's very important," Dean said as he focused on driving.
"Yes. He will be like you," Bryana said with a smile. Her hand touched Aidyn's hand which immediately grabbed her thumb, then wanted to suck it.
"Are you thirsty, son? Didn't you already breastfeed for almost an hour, Hem?" Bryana looked at Aidyn impatiently whining for breast milk. She lifted her son so that he changed his position to lie down with his head resting on his left arm. She immediately unbuttoned her shirt, lowered her bra as she was about to breastfeed the tiny baby.
"If he's not full enough just by drinking breast milk, it's better for you to just give him extra milk. Buy a high-quality one to increase his intelligence too," Dean exclaimed.
"That's later when he's not breastfeeding me," Bryana said.
"I don't want you to be skinny because of the various energies with him," said Dean, occasionally glancing at Bryana, who realized that was a bit skinny. "And how many months is that?" he asked.
"Maybe two years," answered Bryana still focused on breastfeeding, even those who were breastfed slowly drifted off to sleep. ugh, babies are always like that.
"Gosh, up to two years? You have to share your energy with him for that long, you'll get thinner, honey. I'll just buy him some extra milk." Dean looked uneasy. Naturally, because this is the first time he feels the atmosphere as a husband who accompanies his wife who breastfeeds her baby. Because when Sofia was a baby, Clarissa had died and Sofia only consumed formula milk.
"You don't have to worry. I'm thin just because I'm not used to it yet. I will also consume a lot of nutritious food, special milk for nursing mothers and whatever so that I don't mind too much of the burden as a nursing mother," Bryana said with an amused smile at Dean.
"In that case, okay. as long as you don't get thinner, I will still support you," Dean said resignedly."What if I was skinny, would you turn your back on me?" Bryan asked.
"I still love you. I just don't want to see a skinny woman, 'cause it looks like... Not eating enough," Dean replied.
Bryana chuckled. "Who would think I'm not eating enough when I have everything? It's natural for nursing mothers to look skinny. I used to be a bit skinny when I was breastfeeding with Calvin, but when I'm not breastfeeding, I'm a bit full again."
Bryana released Aidyn's mouth from the source of her milk because he was asleep, then adjusted her bra and immediately buttoned her shirt again.
"He sleeps?" Dean glanced at Aidyn.
"Yeah. It's time for bed." Bryana glanced at her watch which showed ten o'clock in the morning. "Do we still have a long way to go?" She asked.
"No. We'll be there in a minute," Dean replied, turning his attention back to driving a little faster to get there.
"This is like the direction I've been," Bryana muttered, staring at the view of the roadside that looked coolly overgrown with trees as if going to the forest.
"Because we've been there," Dean said.
Bryana silently glanced at Dean, trying to remember when she had crossed the street with her husband.

After going to the hospital to check his body's health condition, which was lack of fluids, nutrition and too weak, finally, Alex, who was brought home by Elsa, returned home. the man went home with his wife even though disappointment still gripped his heart, especially now that he was always thinking about Bryana and Calvin.
"Honey. Shall we go to the barbershop?" Elsa asked with a warm smile."I'm still weak. Let's go home," Alex replied curtly. he turned his face, staring at the roadside atmosphere through the car window.
Elsa sighed, choosing to focus on driving. The woman thought back to what had happened between her and Carlos last night, then glanced at her husband who was indifferent to her.
"Alex." Finally, Elsa called.
"Why?" Alex asked without looking up.
"Who has kidnapped and absorbed you for three months?" Elsa asked. He couldn't deny that Alex looked so ugly and pathetic. His bodyweight seemed to have decreased by 20 kg.
"You won't know him. he was ruthless like Gustave, even more so. He'd rather see me suffer than kill me directly," Alex replied blankly.
"You must be in a lot of pain." Elsa looked at Alex with pity.
"I fought for Calvin's treasure for you, but it looks like that will never happen again," said Alex still blankly.
"Why? You don't usually give up."
"Because Calvin has the right to enjoy what's his shouldn't have snatched the inheritance, then given it to you. It's very unethical because Calvin is my flesh and blood, and you...." Alex glared at Elsa.
"You're just a wife who uses me."
"Alex...I know I'm wrong, but don't always blame me," Elsa exclaimed in frustration. "Just imagine how I felt when you were having fun with other girls, while I took care of our child at home after I worked hard as a model because you were unemployed. It is very painful!"
"That won't happen again," Alex said lazily.
"If it happens again, all the sacrifices I made to set you free will be for nothing!" said Elsa disappointedly.
"Indeed, what did you do to set me free? Didn't Carlos free me?" asked Alex with a probing look.
Elsa, who was focused on driving, was confused because she slipped. "Never mind, forget it. all I did was beg Carlos to look for you because I was worried about you, but after you came back, it turned out to be just ignoring me."
Alex chose to remain silent because he was lazy to argue with Elsa, while Elsa accelerated her car. the woman felt a burden after handing her body to Carlos. There is an excessive fear if her husband finds out about the forbidden intercourse event
