"Oh my God...."
Gloria was surprised and stunned for a while when she saw the contents in the package box she had just opened.
Simultaneously, Owen looked out of the bathroom and observed his wife.
"Darling, what is that?" tanyanya approaching. Owen landed a bo kong and sat right next to Gloria who was still holding her package box.
Owen extended his neck to see the contents of the box because Gloria had not answered his question.
"Sean..." glorified Gloria and it was quite audible in Owen's hearing.
"Sean sent all this," said Gloria, trying to talk in more detail. "These are items for pottery manufacture," he added.
Owen's forehead was wrinkled deep. "What's he sending these things for?" tanyanya did not understand.
Gloria looked at Owen and clasped her husband's fingers. "When on the island, I had time to divert my mind by trying to make pottery. This is one of my hobbies."
"So you mean, the time on the island was Sean...." Owen could not continue the sentence, even though his head had received an answer to the thing he began to digest.
"Yes, Sean made a special room so I could channel my hobby on this one" Gloria smiled.
Owen's heart was heated enough to hear it, how not, he himself did not know about one of his wife's hobbies, while Sean actually made Gloria a special place to realize his female hobby. Doesn't that sound so sweet?
"So, he sent this all out so you'd always remember, right?" owen sarcasm.
Gloria chuckles. "Sometimes you look funny when you're jealous, honey!" he sneered at Owen's sarcasm.
Hhh ....
Owen snorted softly. Walk towards the closet and pick up her clothes. He is not acting sulky but he really does not like the fact that there are things about his wife that he does not know, while other people actually know to be too concerned about it.
"Are you angry?" Gloria put the box to the floor and tried to get close to her husband.
"That's how it is" Owen answered frankly.
"Maybe Sean didn't mean to be mean, he just felt like this was all my milk and he was trying to get it back." Gloria wrapped around Owen's waist with her hands and leaned her head against her husband's chest.
Owen closed the goods for a moment. Gloria's treatment can't make her angry all the time. After all if he sulks, he will also lose later.
"Alright, I understand now," he said languidly. "So, do you still want to continue this hobby of yours? If yes, then I'll have the waiter prepare the room for all of your belongings."
"Aren't you mad I used all Sean's gifts?" Gloria looked up to look at Owen.
Owen shook his head. "I'll assume this is all yours and not Sean's gift."
"My husband is indeed too perfect" praised Gloria and Owen rolling her eyeballs.
"You pissed?" guess Gloria.
"No, I'm gonna help you put all this stuff together."
"Woa... Dear Mr. Zwart is willing to help his wife!" gloria's Kekesh.
They laugh together. All unimportant problems need not be magnified in such a way.

"Tomorrow I'll get back to work." Owen spoke as he began to get busy helping Gloria compile the pottery-making items in the space provided in the Mansion.
"You sure? Aren't you tired?"
"My work has been neglected for a long time. It's good I showed up there."
Gloria nodded, she also began to organize and put a container for clay storage on the side of the room.
"Owen, why did you talk to Sean about Celine. And their plan, what exactly are they planning?" gloria asked on the sidelines of their activities.
"Since the beginning of your meeting with Sean's been planned. That's what I know."
"Did Celine plan it?" guess Gloria.
Owen nodded at his wife's question.
"I didn't expect you to have an informant until you could figure things out that far" Gloria joked.
Owen laughed softly. Suddenly he remembered James who became his informant about this. He owes a lot to his best friend and Jamie.
"So, where is Celine now?"
"I've taken care of it" said Owen briefly but Gloria was peeking at her husband.
"Don't tell me you killed him, Owen!"
Owen was broken. "You think?" askalanya.
"I can't guess this time."
Owen shook his head, then approached Gloria. In one fell swoop, he could already carry his wife in a sling.
"aaa... Owen, put me down!" screeched Gloria in her husband's arms.
"Okay, okay, all right."
"Why do you think that? Didn't you think I had finished him off?"
Gloria tapped a finger on her chin. "Because I know how cruel my husband is, he still has a good conscience and a good heart."
Owen smiled faintly. "Alright, since your answer is correct then I will give you a gift. Tell me what you want, hmm?"
"What, huh? I think I have everything with you."
Owen smiled as he shook his head, the next split second he touched the tip of Gloria's nose with the tip of his own nose, stroking slowly there making Gloria giggle in a position still in the man's arms.
"If you don't want to ask me for a gift, I'll ask you for one."
"Gift?"
"Huum.." Owen nodded his head with a small smile.
"Everything you want as a gift, Owen? I don't think I have a decent gift to give to someone who already has everything like you" Gloria said.
"There's something you can make a gift for me" Owen said as he rolled his eyes.
Immediately Gloria caught the meaning of her husband.
"All right, what's that thing?"
"Second honeymoon...."
And Gloria heard it.

A few years later....
"Owen, please help me put the cake on the table." Gloria screamed at her husband. He is still the same as before, always making his own birthday cake for the people closest to him.
Owen came in quick motion, then saw the birthday cake that had been visibly decorated by his wife.
"My wife deserves a thumbs up, yeah." said Owen, giving his wife two thumbs up. Praised him.
"Hurry, put it on the family room table. Jeff must have been waiting there."
"Ready, Mistress!"
Owen slowly brought the birthday cake until he reached the living room where Jeff and the others had gathered.
"Hallo Boy, look, it's your birthday cake, nooo." said Owen who immediately put the cake on the table right in front of Jeff.
"Yeay, cake cake.." said Jeff cheerfully. He looked at his Mommy-made cake enthusiastically.
Before long, Gloria joined in. Today they will hold Jeff's third birthday event and the event is only held in a family. Only the closest family present and their friends.
Oxela, Jade, Briel, James, Renata and Jamie were also present. There's Jared and some of Jeff's friends in daycare.
"Come boy! Blow the candle when everyone is done singing happy birthday song!" said Jade cheers on the super-active Jeff. Jeff jumped in front of his birthday cake that had been lit by a triple-shaped candle.
"Blow the candle, now Jeff!" pekik Oxela also after everyone finished singing happy birthday song. Jeff obeyed the order, several times the blow he did and finally the candle was extinguished.
Jeff again jumped for joy because he managed to make the fire in the candle to be extinguished.
Gloria immediately picked up a cake knife to help cut the birthday cake.
"Now, who does Jeff want to give this birthday cake to?" ask Gloria.
Jeff looked silent, the intelligent-looking little boy as if he was thinking. Shortly after, a name sprang from her tiny lips.
"Lily.." said Jeff slowly, making all eyes fixed on the figure of the girl who stood not far from Renata's position. The young girl smiled sweetly with a clumsy attitude.
"Well, it turns out your son can pick and see the pretty girl, Owen!" james's chirp on Owen's left side, made the man grimace to hear it.
"James.... Jeff was a kid, Lily was a daycare teacher anyway!" timpal Gloria throbbing.
The girl named Lily approached Jeff after Gloria gave her permission, but Jeff did not immediately give Lily a piece of cake, he pulled Jared's hand which stood stiff beside the table.
"Uncle, give this to Lily...." Jeff's small voice that was fluent in speech made Jared wide in shock, because he was avoiding the figure of Lily.
Meanwhile, Lily herself smelled a smile due to the actions of her little disciple.
Jared scratched his itchy forehead, but he also received a plate containing the cake that Jeff handed to him.
Without further ado or sentence, Jared repaid Lily for the birthday cake, according to instructions from Gloria.
Lily subdues in order to equalize height with Jeff's body. "Good job, Jeff!" whispers in Jeff's ear.
"Yesse!" jeff exclaimed pleasure because he felt successful in carrying out the mission.
