Lunch is over. The Brown house dining room is empty. Gail is in the living room, Jarrett is in the living room, Jemma is with Nigel at The Twins house and Addison is back in his office.
Gail doesn't go back to The Brown Kitchen because she can get the job done for financial calculations at home. Landon was also the one who gave her the idea as he hesitantly gave Duo J permission.
The twins want to play in the house opposite, where the papa. Not to Addison's villa as usual if Gail and The Brown go to the Kitchen. They begged Gail to agree.
Of course Duo J won. Gail assented them with a feeling of calmness. They are indeed independent children but what can fit with Nigel is a new person.
For the sake of mutual comfort, Gail conditioned her work duties in the present day to be able to be shorter in The Brown Kitchen. He was afraid that there would be nothing on Duo J or Nigel.
The first time Gail had allowed Duo J to be with someone who was still a stranger to her. Although she knows Nigel is the biological father of her son and also the husband who has been proven by the marriage file shown to her.
But Gail still felt a fear that she could not describe. He can't be like the open Landon or the warm Ellie to Nigel. Moreover, it was like Duo J was sticking to that man.
Addison is asked to accompany Gail to The Brown's house for lunch with Duo J and Nigel. The woman was quite calm with the presence of Addison who was like a sister to her.
If people ask The Brown what their child's name is, it's certainly not a real child. The answer is Addison and Gail.
That closeness took years for Gail to get. Comfort and calmness related to new people need the help of the closest person to her magical self.
At lunch together earlier, Gail felt that there was a strange atmosphere between them all. It looks good but it doesn't feel okay. Confusing, and a burden on the mind.
Nigel's attitude is not what it used to be with Gail. The man's face was also as grim as his eyes. There was no smile this morning and also at some time always given it.
As Gail recalled this morning Nigel wasn't like that. When saying goodbye to work to The Brown kitchen on Duo J at the house across the street, even the warm atmosphere he felt.
Duo J and Nigel greeted him with a cheerful bright face. Gail also felt heavy to go from the three people when she finished saying goodbye.
There was happiness in Gail's heart seeing the interaction of the two children and the father. The relationship of the three of them is not like being five years apart because of the closeness that is felt.
But from the atmosphere at the meal together just now, Gail did not feel happy like that anymore. Although he still sees the closeness to Nigel and Duo J and Addison are included.
Gail thought nothing of it, and gave up on time. It was time for her to return to the work she brought home. Jarrett is also a henchman in the living room.
Jarrett's habit of choosing the living room to be the place where he stays with the book in his hand. The little man was like a serious student reading the lecture material.
Nigel gave the book to Jarrett's additional knowledge in creating his application plan. He wants to be a full supporter of his son, one of his life now.
Jarrett didn't expect today to be full of surprises. Last night he was still thinking about how to make money to have tools, but the next morning he got more than he thought.
Jarrett's small laugh came as he drew a conclusion in his own mind. That he and Jemma who are considered geniuses, will come from mama and papa. His parents must have been more than him.
The sound of a knock on the door distracts Jarrett. He moved towards Gail first, telling her someone was coming.
“Uncle,” Jarrett said after opening the door. There was Miles with a flat look but his gaze was warm in front of the nephew.
“Halo Jarrett,” greet Miles. Then the two exchanged news before Gail joined to where they were standing. Seeing that arrival, Miles also said, “Halo Genaya.”
Gail smiled back at Miles. He has not been able to interact well with Nigel's brother, who is in fact his brother-in-law.
For the sake of manners and hospitality, even though Gail's body was still trembling. Luckily, there was Jarrett nearby.
Jarrett chose not to join Jemma to return to play in the house opposite, where Nigel. Gail's up to both kids how she wants to be. The important thing is that he knows their situation.
“Sorry, I used to call you by that name,” Miles said in a condolent tone. The three of them were still standing at the entrance of The Brown house.
“It's okay. I can understand, Miles,” responded Gail politely and then said, “There's something I can help you with?”
“Oh, yes. I was tricked by Nigel to give you the Dessert Box you love in Hicity. I just got to Delan,” explained Miles while handing over the bag containing the food in question.
“I like Dessert Box?” ask Gail. As if he had never enjoyed the sweet food, how did Nigel know it was his favorite, thought the mother of Duo J.
“Hentahlah. I'm just following your husband Genaya's request,” said Miles lightly. He did not bother with the relationship of the two newly met destiny.
Gail was confused what to say, but did not stop accepting it. Once again for the sake of courtesy, so he thinks.
“Genaya, can I leave a message for The Brown? Everyone was invited to dinner with the Irey family. For the place, I still arrange. Someone will pick you up later.”
"Together with the Irey family? That means Mr Wyatt and the others are also present, Miles?" said Gail. He could not think of how he would become and the impact of the impromptu big meeting
The limitations in socializing that Gail naturally keeps her low on herself and thinking too much about the bad things that might happen. Even if it's still a possibility, he knows it.
Gail also knows the presence of The Brown later there as well as the savior for her, plus Duo J who understands the condition of the mother. But still, he would meet a stranger.
Foreigners are important, both in their social status and the status of their relationship with Gail. Gail's mind really couldn't calm down all day.
"Yes, Genaya. Nigel prepared it for you" Miles said lightly. He thought it could please the wife of the older brother. Meanwhile, Nigel was now troubled in his mood due to jealousy.
