(NON) PRETEND HUSBAND
New Deal?

"Sofia's grandmother used to name her Vegetable Rice Trash."

Ann was shocked to hear Kian's explanation. He stopped the food in his mouth.

Seeing the surprised Ann, Kian could not help but laugh. He put the spoon in his hand and laughed.

"Are you seriously this junk vegetable?" ask Ann in shock.

"Hahaha .. that's just the name, Ann. The vegetables are fresh vegetables!"

"Why is it called trash?" kepas Ann is still curious.

"Because the vegetables vary, not to mention the addition of chicken, shrimp, tempeh and tofu. It looks like shit, right?" obviously Kian while picking up the spoon again, prepare to devour the rice and set vegetables to the edge of the plate.

Ann breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Kian was actually cooking vegetables from trash! Ann had already swallowed half a portion and enjoyed it very much from now on.

The atmosphere then became silent, only the clinking of dishes and spoons sounded earthy. Ann was really hungry, crying was quite draining. That's why Ann hates crying because she's so hungry afterwards.

Kian noticed Ann once in a while, actually he was angry at the woman who was enjoying every bribe of his cooking. Somehow seeing Ann hugging her lover earlier, Kian's blood immediately boiled. All day he was made to float with all the behavior of Ann is very sweet, Kian thought Ann had opened her heart to him, but it turns out he was wrong! It's too naive.

"Then, it looks like we should revise our covenant letter."

The food in Kian's mouth was swallowed.

"Uhuk." Kian grabbed the glass next to him and gulped the contents up to the toilet.

Once the food stuck in his throat had slid smoothly into the stomach, Kian exhaled a sigh of relief.

Ann watched Kian in surprise. "Did I say it wrong?" lirih Ann asked.

Kian shook his head and put his spoon on his side. He no longer had a taste for food after hearing Ann's words.

"Your rice isn't spent?" Ann stared at the rice on Kian's plate which was still half left.

He noticed the rice on Ann's finished plate and pushed his plate towards the woman.

Getting a windfall, Ann smiled happily and grabbed onto Kian's plate. He devoured the rice mixed with the delicious vegetables without concern for Kian who could only shake his head in amazement at Ann's incredible appetite. And without waiting for long, the plate was clean with no rice left.

He propped his arms up on the table and looked at Ann seriously. Not yet relieved the rage in her heart, Ann again doused it with a turbo pertamax.

Ann rubbed the wet end of her lips with a tissue and let out a long sigh before opening her mouth.

"We are speeding up our divorce process. Because waiting a year was free, Papa did not seem to be handing over his heir to me before I became pregnant and had children" Ann explained without daring to look at Kian.

"Is that?"

"Yes, so. So we'll be separated in three months. What say?"

"Are you going to go back to him after that?"

Ann frowning. "You mean Daren?"

Kian nodded by holding the hot thump inside the chest. His hands clenched without his control.

"Looks like. I don't know, I haven't thought about it right now. My focus is to immediately untie us so you don't have to torture yourself by staying with me."

"Why do you always think that I'm tormented in life with you, Ann? Have I ever complained?"

"No. Precisely with your good attitude like this makes me feel more guilty with you, Kian!"

"Then why can't you open your heart just a little for me!?"

Deg. Ann jerks. He stared intensely. That shady and sincere look thrust something into his heart.

"I mean ..., ah, stop blaming yourself, Ann!" kian continued to revise. It seems to be too honest this time.

"I'm scared, Kian. I'm afraid my heart will waver long if I stay longer with you here."

Kian smiled wryly. What kind of reason is that! Is that bad as Ann's eyes? Until it's not worth being loved by a high-class woman like her?

"alright. Do as you please, Ann. As always, I'll just obey all your will," break up eventually. He got ready to stand up and went back to the room.

"Wait, Kian."
