Let Me Love Your Wife (Not an Ex)
Reyvan Plan

Elle's face looked crumpled when returning to Maverick's house, even her eyes were still sloppy and swollen, due to crying for too long.

It just so happened that Maverick had gone home and was relaxing in the living room. So, he knew immediately with the arrival of his wife.

"Gelle!" call Maverick.

Elle turned and approached her husband. There were no words he said, just looking down and gripping the bag strap.

"You ... have wept?" ask Maverick. "Did your ex hurt you?"

"Have you told him about Kak Al's situation?" Elle asked back.

"She asked, so .. I answered. Is that a problem?"

Elle closed her face and then covered her face with her palm.

"You know, haven't I kept that a secret? Why should it be revealed now?" regrettable.

Maverick shuffled and pulled Elle's body in his embrace. He gently swiped the smooth sleeves that were not covered in cloth.

"I'm sorry, I was kind of telling you all that. But ... Nor can it be kept secret forever. Reyvan's not a fool, Elle. Sooner or later, he'll know" Maverick said.

Elle releases Maverick's embrace while wiping away the tears that came back to drip. Although what Maverick said had a point, but Elle was still upset, it was just that she did not have the courage to be angry.

"Forget it, maybe I'm overreacting" said Elle, throwing a look.

"I'm really sorry, Elle," Maverick murmured. His hands stretched out and tidied Elle's slightly messy hair.

Getting such treatment, Elle turned her head back and her eyes were immediately fixed at the corner of Maverick's bruised lips.

"Why's your lips?" asked Elle in a soft voice.

"It's okay, just a small wound." Maverick smiled as he stared in the shade.

"Are you and Reyvan___"

"Don't think much. Our conversation went well" Maverick said.

"I will be gentle so that you are comfortable with my presence. You can't leave as long as Aurora's still around. You have to be a good wife, Elle." Maverick sat in while pouring water for Elle.

From this moment on, he would treat Elle gently and sweetly. His goal is to make his wife become Aurora's mother. But is he really able to survive without feeling? I don't know.

Two months later.

Reyvan began to dare to expand his business to other countries. Thanks to the help of his brother-in-law who is a painter and owner of the leading gallery on the island of Bali, Reyvan can get to know the artist from Spain—Jeronimo Demitry or often called Jerry. He and Jerry met at a painting auction last month.

Although not a big person who has an important influence in his country, but Jerry belongs to the ranks of the rich. In addition to having a gallery in the city center, he also had quite a large vineyard.

Ten days ago, Jerry opened up opportunities for cooperation for all relationships. He wanted to renovate the gallery and look for the best design.

Reyvan took the opportunity to start a business in a foreign country. He prepared everything in earnest to attract Jerry's attention. Hopefully the design he offered escaped and next time there is another opportunity to develop a business there.

A sentence that motivated Reyvan to flap business in several countries. He did not want to dissolve too long in disappointment caused by Maverick. He is ambitious to rise so that he can turn things around— superior to Maverick.

"perfect. This design should be acceptable to him" Reyvan said alone.

He stared in amazement at the design sketch that he thought was amazing. However, moments later he remembered how big and great the country was. It was not impossible that the design of his rival was much more perfect than him.

"Success or failure, which is important effort. By trying, I can bag the lessons and experience for the next tenders" Reyvan said.

In his life, there is hardly a word pessimistic. Reyvan has always been optimistic and cautious, although on the other hand his ambitions are also very high. Using logic in any case, Reyvan never ignores business for personal gain, including love.

Although her love for Elle is still intact, Reyvan never begs or pleads. He thought, it is better to be a much greater person, than to waste time begging and pleading, which will eventually be in vain. Not a coward, but he had his own way of taking back his woman.

On the other hand, Elle was getting used to her marriage. His fear towards Maverick was slightly lessened as the man's demeanor was softer than before. So far, Maverick has never demanded more. Let alone the more intimate, even a lip kiss Maverick never did. They talk, joke, and co-parent Aurora when Maverick comes home from work.

Not only that, the Elle family business has also been returned. However, because the base has been almost destroyed since Andres died, then now it is less stable, still depends on other parties including Maverick. The man became a major investor in the business that Marissa managed.

This afternoon, Maverick came home early. At noon, he arrived home. His arrival was immediately greeted by Aurora, who was picking flowers with Elle. Over the past two weeks, Aurora's health has improved.

"Daddy!" yell Aurora.

"Hello, Honey." Maverick approached Aurora and carried her in a sling.

"Mommy and I picked flowers for Daddy. Pretty, right, Daddy?" babble Aurora while pointing at some white rose stalks placed in a vase.

"Very pretty, but ... still less beautiful than Daddy's little girl." Maverick replied while pinching Aurora's cheek.

"And I lost beautiful to Mommy. Yeah, right, Dad?"

Hearing his son's answer, Maverick turned to Elle. True what Aurora said, his wife is beautiful, beating the flowers and all the beauty that is around. In a graceful blue-eyed look, Maverick found a speck of taste that increasingly disturbed his mind. A thing that seemed to want to shift Devara's position in the corner of his heart.

"It's only been two months and you've been teasing my heart. No wonder Reyvan was so angry when I grabbed you. Your charm is alluring, Elle, "Maverick's inner self.

"Mas!" call Elle.

Maverick smiled wryly, then invited Elle and Aurora into the house.

"Sir, Madam, lunch is ready" Rani said as Maverick and Elle arrived in the living room.

"Thank you" replied Elle.

Then, they together headed for the dining room. Elle sat beside Aurora, while Maverick was in front of them.

While Elle is still getting food for Aurora, Maverick's phone rings. After learning the caller's name, Maverick got up and moved away from his wife's child.

"What's wrong?" ask Maverick without further ado.

"Lusa Tuan Rey will fly to Spain and tender for a project" one man said.
