While lying on the sofa in the master room, Lilis silently watched Shehan from the small slit of the blanket covering her entire body. The night was getting late and Shehan was also lying on his comfortable bed.
'Ask no, about Miss Jesslyn?'
In Lilis's mind, she was eager to ask about Jesslyn who would suddenly stay with them. Not to mean anything, Lilis also realized that the house she currently occupied was not hers.
However, ever since the blonde haired lady came, Lilis was endlessly curious. If I had to ask Shehan directly, Lilis would be disinclined. Lilis, Jesslyn and Shehan are close friends. Even before his presence in the house.
'Ah, stop. Better not to ask. Later Mr. Murad thought I would interfere with his personal life again.'
Then Lilis looked away. Harboring her curiosity seemed to be the best. Rather than her having to lose her good image and look possessive in Shehan's eyes, she was only a contract wife.
'Hhmm .. better just sleep!'
Lilis tried to close her eyes. Eliminate all curiosity and replace it with a calm mind. The girl's sleep was pretty good tonight until dawn.

Morning time.
'Is there anyone outside?'
Shehan dazedly circulated his gaze around vigilantly from the doorway of the main room. Seen by him the atmosphere around the room of the house is very quiet because it is still at 06.02 am.
'No one. Now I must hurry, lest anyone see.'
Shehan moved around like a burglar, exited the main room and went to the guest room inhabited by Jesslyn. The guest room is still part of his own home.
Chequek!
Shehan quickly closed the room door again after he managed to get inside.
"Shehan!" Jesslyn who just woke up and will be about to take a bath flabbergasted at once. The man she adored had come to know appeared before her this morning. As soon as Jesslyn got out of bed, a little run wanted to hug Shehan.
"Stop!" shehan's reprimand followed a hand gesture toward Jesslyn. Jesslyn stopped her small run and stood almost close to Shehan.
Jesslyn's gurgle turned to astonishment. "What's wrong? Didn't you come this morning to see me on purpose? I'm just gonna give you a good morning hug, that's all, Shehan."
Shehan with his flat face countered. "Yes, I came here early so no one would know I was going to your room."
"Curtain!" Jesslyn chuckled softly "Why should it be like that? You can come see me anytime because I live in your house. Did you sleep well last night?"
"I don't want to talk about that. I came to your room to warn you. Please, take care of your attitude in front of Nurbanu and Lilis during your stay in this house. Don't do anything that might make them suspicious."
Jesslyn frowned unhappily, just woke up already lectured. "Loh, why? Nurbanu knows I'm close to you and Lilis also knows that I'm your best friend."
"I'm asking you to behave appropriately in front of them. I don't want my son and wife to assume otherwise if we see our closeness constantly."
Not answering with words, Jesslyn preferred to cross her arms while showing a sour face to show her dislike had been warned so by Shehan.
'Morning has advised, ' Jesslyn grumbled.
"I gave you a residence permit, so I hope you can understand. I don't want any other problems to arise while your pregnancy isn't over."
"So when are you gonna be in charge of this kid?"
"I can decide after doing a DNA test."
"But you have to tell your wife from now on that I'm pregnant."
"No! Can't!" Shehan refused, "I want my family and household to remain harmonious. My wife or anyone else no one can know. Understood?"
"My pregnancy is getting bigger and longer, Shehan? So what should I say if someone asks who is the father of this child?"
"You don't have to say anything. Just shut up. If pressed, you can say they'll know when the time comes."
Jesslyn pouted bitterly. Shehan saw him for a moment who did not speak, speaking his words.
"You keep quiet and I assume that means you understand. I'm out now." The brown-haired man then left Jesslyn's room.
Chequek!
After the door was closed again, Jesslyn also cursed in her heart.
"My wife! My wife!" Showing Shehan style of speaking. "What happened to your wife? She's also just a contract wife, not a real wife. Why are you defending him so much? Must take care of his feelings. Huh! You think I'll just shut up. See what happens next!"
While outside Jesslyn's room, there was a figure of Lilis who was stunned when she saw Shehan-Suami, just came out of another woman's room in the morning too. Moreover, Shehan's movements are sagging, increasingly suspicious.
'Ikat Mas Shehan! Why did she come out of Miss Jesslyn's room? What's he doing in that room so early?' inner Lilis, somehow felt worried.
Shehan knows that Lilis is awake. When she got down from the bed, she found the sofa where Lilis used to sleep was empty. But Shehan doesn't know where Lilis is. It turns out that the girl caught Shehan from a bend in the wall that led to the kitchen. Since marriage, every morning Lilis does help Mbok Tum to cook breakfast menu.
'Ah, maybe there's something Miss Jesslyn needs. They are just friends anyway.' Lilis muffled suspicions, not wanting to be so bad. He continued his work to help Mbok Tum.

A few moments passed.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
"Miss Jesslyn! Miss?" call Lilis from outside the guest room. Three seconds later, the door was opened by Jesslyn.
"Lille?" Jesslyn flabbergasted.
"Good morning, Miss."
"Morning."
"Breakfast is ready for trial, Mas Shehan and Nurbanu have gathered at the dinner table. Come on, have breakfast with us, miss!" take Lilis in a friendly manner.
"All right, wait a minute. I haven't worn perfume."
Jesslyn went back into the room, sprayed perfume around her body and followed Lilis, going to the dining room.
This morning the dining table grew by one person. There are usually only three of them, Shehan, Lilis and Nurbanu. Jesslyn's presence in the middle of them further enlivened the atmosphere.
"For all!" greet Jesslyn, show a gleeful attitude.
"Morning!" Shehan replied softly, Nurbanu was the most excited.
"Morning, Aunt Jesslyn!"
Jesslyn pulled out a chair, sitting opposite Lilis. While Shehan was residing in the wide part of the table and Nurbanu was next to Lilis.
"Come, everybody start breakfast!" As the host, Shehan started the morning meal.
One by one they took the food on the table. Shehan put two cow sausages on his plate. Lilis took a piece of toast, smeared it with honey then gave it to Nurbanu.
"If less, say yes, Banu. Later Kak Lilis added again," said the girl to her foster children.
"Yes, Brother Lilis."
Shehan cuts the sausage and starts eating. Jesslyn who sat to her left occasionally stole a glance. He took a piece of toast as well and smeared it with honey. However, not to be eaten alone, but rather given to Shehan.
"Shehan, why are you only eating cow's sausage? It won't give you enough energy. It's toast, it's been smeared with honey."
Everyone's attention at the dinner table was distracted by Jesslyn who offered a plate of food to Shehan.
"Yes, eat, Pa, the toast. Yummy, Pa!" Nurbanu.
As Shehan turned his head to Jesslyn, the woman smiled cunningly. There was no way Shehan would refuse his gift in front of Nurbanu. He didn't want his daughter to have a bad impression of him. Shehan was forced to accept Jesslyn's sodor plate.
"Thank you, Jesslyn."
"Together, Shehan." Jesslyn happy. 'This is just the beginning. Soon I will conquer you!'
Lilis also responded calmly, not seeing anything strange. However, he began to think about something when he noticed Jesslyn's gig, which continued to pay attention to Shehan until the last hour of breakfast.
It starts with a piece of toast, then pours a glass of orange juice just for Shehan. He asked the man to speak, though Shehan himself seemed to answer him, and the climax was when Jesslyn wiped each end of Shehan's lips with a tissue. His movements were also very soft.
"There's leftover breadcrumbs on your lips" he said, making sense.
"Thank you, Jesslyn." Shehan then sees Lilis and Nurbanu. The little boy did not seem to care about what was happening at the dinner table. Lilis also looks fine. Though inwardly, the girl began to be suspicious.
