Night
Leana dressed up pretty. She was wearing a black satin dress that was press body. She curled her hair, and applied thin make up. After confirming once again her appearance, Leana came out of the room to meet Max who had been at the bottom, precisely in the car park.
"Max, I'm ready."
Max turned around and how surprised he was to see Leana. Max repeatedly looked at his wife from top to bottom.
"Do I look fat?" ask Leana who is not confident because of Max.
"It's because you're too skinny. People won't know you're pregnant" Max said as he opened the car door for Leana.
Leana smiled, then got into the car without saying much more.
Max took a deep breath, to put in as much oxygen as possible. Seeing Leana so graceful and sexy makes Max's brain lack of oxygen.
'Why is she dressing up so pretty just for a dinner at Doctor Andre's place?' inner Max. He got into the car and drove the car out of the Scotts' house.
As usual, the awkward atmosphere includes Leana and Max. Leana looked out the window, while Max focused on driving and did not want to look at Leana. Max is afraid to forget himself if he keeps looking at his wife who is so beautiful tonight.
"Max, I think we need to buy something for Om Andre and his family" Leana said.
"Yes, great idea." "What do you want to buy?"
"Emm, I want a cheesecake in Chateraise which is in the Senayan mall." replied Leana hesitantly.
'Ciiiit' Max braked suddenly. Fortunately, there was no vehicle behind them. Max returned to running the car more carefully and this time he had to look at Leana. "That's too far, Le. Find the one that's close."
"Oh, okay."
Leana held onto her seat belt and then looked back out the window.
Max keeps running the car in silence, but the goal is not to see Doctor Andre's house, but rather the place Leana wants to be. He realized that Leana must have asked for cheesecake not because she wanted to buy fruit, but because she wanted the food.
"Lho, where's Max coming?" Lea was flabbergasted when Max entered the parking lot of Senayan mall.
"Yes, I went the wrong way. So we'll just buy them."
Leana's expression immediately turned happy. He had even removed the seat belt even though Max's car had not stopped completely.
"Wait, Le." Max holds Leana's wrist. "Let me buy it. You wait in the car." "The road is too far." Max is looking for an excuse so Leana doesn't have to come down. Of course, the real reason is Max doesn't want everyone to see his wife's body.
"Later for a video call, so you can pick a cake for you and also Om Andre."
Leana nodded. He doesn't want to argue with Max. Ericka said that Leana had to learn to trust Max. It will help her to overcome the trauma to her own husband. Especially since Max is also special, has a mental illness.

Max returned after 15 minutes. He carried 2 paper bags in his hand. Max's guess is right. Leana really wants to eat cheesecake there. His wife bought 5 pieces of cheesecake and also a glass of taro-flavored milk.
"Thanks, Max." said Leana happily. He opened up what Max was carrying.
"It's the first time I've been asked by someone else" Max said with a small smile. "I used to tell them."
"Sorry, I don't know." Leana seemed a little regretful even though it wasn't 100% her fault. Max volunteered to go upstairs.
Leana laughed loudly at Max. Although it was spoken in a flat and haughty tone, but it sounded funny to Leana.
Max shook his head to wake himself up after a while looking at Leana in astonishment. Leana laughs. He can laugh. This is a big advance. And the Leana 3x looks prettier when she laughs off like that.
"Max, do you want to?" Leana offers Max before she eats her cheesecake.
"Can. But later, I was driving." said Max, who had returned to continue the journey.
Leana held out a spoonful of cheesecake in front of Max.
Tonight was full of surprises. Max is incredibly happy with Leana's change in him. Now Leana's feeding Max. This is even beyond Max's expectations.
Along the way, Leana already spent 2 and Max spent the rest, meaning 3 pieces of cheesecake. Not yet at Doctor Andre's house for dinner, Max is already full. This is because Leana is unwilling to spare her cheesecake and continues to feed Max.
"We're here, Le." Max said after Doctor Andre's gate opened.
The house is so luxurious. It's not that far from Max's house. It's just that Dr. Andre's house is a classic Mediterranean style.
Max immediately went down and turned around to open Leana's door.
"Hold me so you don't fall, Le." Max gave her arm so that Leana could wrap her hand there.
Leana thought for a moment. But, he finally wanted to wrap his hands around Max's burly arms.
They walked slowly towards the main door. A servant opened the door for them.
"max.. Leana.." Doctor Andre's voice echoed throughout the room. She is thrilled to find Max and Leana walking hand in hand like newly married husbands.
"Hi, Max, Le." a woman appears behind Andre. That's Ericka aka his son. Just like her father, Ericka is happy to see Max-Leana's closeness. Their progress is very good.
"Ericka, why are you here?" leana asked confusedly.
"He's my son. You must know her, right?" Andre only gave a brief introduction to Leana who must have known Ericka. Yes, Andre only found out last night that Leana had a complicated story with Max so Ericka had to help both.
"Yes, Om." replied Leana who was still surprised.
"Hi, Max. Long time no see. You're getting good-looking." a man of Max's age appears from the inside. He shook Max's hand
Max did not extend his hand.
"You're getting less obvious, Timothy." Max replied.
"This must be your wife, very pretty." Tim turns to the petite woman next to Max. "My name, Timothy. I'm Ericka's husband." said Tim kindly.
"I'm Leana, Max's wife."
"Sorry, we're late because Leana bought this for you guys first." Max held out a paper bag on Ericka.
"Thank you Le.."
"Yes, let's go inside, kids." Doctor Andre ended their conversation. He guided Max to go inside.
"Le, how do you feel now?" Ericka held Leana while slightly exchanging stories.
"I'm happy today.you're right, it looks like Max is a good man." "But Rick, I'd like to ask you about Max's past."
Ericka loosened her grip on Leana and paused for a moment. He certainly knows all about Max, but the problem is, is it okay if Leana knows the cause of Max experiencing mental illness?
