That fast?

"Your decision is right, my dear..." Richard went in and grabbed Gloria from behind.

Gloria gasped, aware of it she immediately dodged Richard's embrace.

"Don't touch me again" he said in despair.

Richard frowned, Gloria had refused to go back with Owen, then why was Gloria also being cold to him? Doesn't Gloria's rejection of Owen mean Gloria wants to build a household with him again?

"I know you haven't fully let go of Owen, but I want you to keep your heart open for me, hmm.." Richard again touched Gloria's shoulder, flipping the woman's body to face her.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" press Gloria's angry.

Richard was surprised to hear Gloria's repressive sentence.

"You've rejected it, haven't you? That means I won!" richard is confident.

"It doesn't mean you're free to touch me!" gloria replied loudly with a flushed face.

"I rejected him because I didn't want him to be hurt and more disappointed when I found out about my condition" Gloria said.

"So, what do you want, huh?" Richard looked at Gloria with a stern look. He does not accept Gloria always rejects him, even though he was already feeling high when he saw Gloria expel Owen and did not complain to the man about what had happened.

"At least give me time! Don't force me! I hate that!"

Richard nodded faintly. "Well, since you've made the right decision by expelling Owen and not returning to him, I'll give you a week, if you stick to this attitude of yours, then, then don't blame me for always forcing you!"

Richard passed after saying that sentence, making Gloria quite able to breathe a sigh of relief now.

"Lauren, prepare the guest room."

"Will there be guests staying, sir?"

"Don't ask too many questions, just prepare! I'll occupy his guest room!"

"Huh? Miss Gloria?"

"He stays in the master room! Never mind, don't demand to know a lot!" Richard shook his hand and told Lauren to immediately put her foot out of front of him.

Richard was determined, would make Gloria love him again, he really regretted his misguidedness all along. He regretted wasting his airy wife waiting for him, but realized it was too late.

Just returning to Gloria's path was the best one for Richard, he had no other choice because his parents also loved Gloria very much as a daughter-in-law. It had been enough all along that he covered up Gloria's departure for the various reasons she had made. Starting from returning to Indonesia, Gloria's parents are sick, to Gloria who does not want to return.

A few more days are the wedding anniversary of both parents, at least at that time Mother and Father will meet with the son-in-law.

All right, he'll give Gloria some time. It wasn't easy, he understood Gloria couldn't just forgive him, so he understood the risks he had to bear.

Moreover, Gloria's departure from her Mansion was also enough to make her realize that she actually missed the figure of the woman who always welcomed her home with a warm smile.

"Gloria.. Mommy's daughter-in-law," Isabel hugs the newly arrived Gloria at her Mansion - with Richard.

"Happy wedding anniversary, Mommy.." said Gloria returned the arms of the woman who is still in-laws. He was forced to follow Richard's will to attend this party, but deep down he loved Isabel as much as his own mother.

"Thank you, baby. You look pale, are you sick?" ask Isabel full of questions.

Gloria shook her head slowly. "Not really, I'm just not feeling well, Mom," Gloria replied as she was.

"Richard, didn't your wife feed you after returning from Indonesia? He looked thin" Roman whispered in his son's ear.

"Lately Gloria hasn't eaten much, Dad," Richard replied honestly, because that's exactly what Lauren reported to her.

"You don't have a taste for food, Gloria?" timpal Isabel's.

"Yes, Mom. Just these past few days," Gloria replied.

Isabel's face looked brighter and brighter. "Don't you get pregnant, Gloria!" said enthusiastically.

Gloria was silent with her eyes bulging.

"Ha-pregnant?" Richard voiced his surprise, while Gloria still remained silent not twitching.

"Yes, why so surprised? Shouldn't you be happy?"

"So fast?" said Richard slowly, he did not expect his actions a few days ago on Gloria actually produced results so soon. Plus, he used the time safety, of course, to prevent Gloria's pregnancy because he did not want to have children before Gloria softened on him. What does this mean....

"What's that fast? You've been married for eight months, if Gloria's pregnant it's natural" Roman said.

On the other hand, Gloria shriveled at her in-laws' speech. Is she pregnant? The state of his body is difficult to guess now, more often lethargic than excited, he thought it happened because now he lives in Richard's residence again and because he remembers Richard's actions to him. He also thought his sadness was later due to his sudden separation from Owen.

Then, if she's pregnant, is this Owen's child? Richard only did it once and it happened a few days ago. His memory also still works if Richard does so with safety.

Gloria and Richard looked at each other as if looking for answers in each other's eyes.

"We'll have a grandchild soon, Isabel!" squealing Roman pleasure.

"True, this is the most perfect gift on our wedding anniversary" Isabel concluded.

"We're going to check on Gloria first, Dad. Don't jump to conclusions too quickly because I don't want you guys to expect too much!" richard said to the Father but his eyes still fixed Gloria's eyes.

Gloria lowered her face as she reached out to her own fingers, for some reason she became very nervous about this situation.
