Feeling that the situation around is safe, Gerald stepped like a thief so as not to cause a noise when walking. Fortunately, the house was large and quiet when it was night. He had to pass through the dining area to get to the stairs that connected to the second floor. Suddenly surprised when there was a voice of people asking him to speak.
“Where to?”
The question made Gerald stop stepping and turn around. Turns out Edbert, fortunately not her former in-laws who reprimand. “Ke room Cathleen.”
“Why do you want to go there? Isn't it not allowed?”
“I can't sleep, want to hug Cathleen.”
“Oh.” Edbert just asked, he had no intention of preventing in the slightest. Because, knowing that Cathleen must need Gerald in order to sleep.
“Please don't tell Mr. Pattinson that I'm secretly going to Cathleen's room,” pinta Gerald.
“Free, in this mansion there is CCTV.”
“What if I get caught, maybe even our marriage will be accelerated,” said Gerald aims to show off to Edbert if he has got the blessing. His feet continued to walk down the stairs.
Edbert just stared at Gerald's departure with a look of eyes that kept a secret. “I'd better do it myself without involving him,” he murmured.
Meanwhile, Gerald had already made it to Cathleen's room. He did not knock first, but opened the door and went inside.
“Cath?” call Gerald. The atmosphere of the room was very dark.
“Hm?” It turns out Cathleen can still answer. He turned on the dim colored lights that were near the bed.
“You haven't slept?” gerald asked as he swung his legs closer to Mommy from his children.
Cathleen's head shook. “You too?”
“Iya, I want to hug you.” Gerald gave a statement. She did not ask Cathleen for her approval first, but directly climbed into the bed and joined under the same blanket as the woman.
Gerald was behind Cathleen's back. “Don't be rejected, it looks like I'm addicted to wanting to be close to you and the kids while sleeping,” her door as she wrapped her hands around that distended belly.
“How about my Papa know? You'll get scolding.” Although restless for fear of being discovered, Cathleen still received a touch from Gerald. This is what he really wants, a comfortable feeling when the stomach is rubbed.
Both of them closed their eyes without any sound coming out. Because both Gerald and Cathleen are enjoying closeness without distance and interference.
“About our child will be similar to whom, huh?” ask Gerald. His voice was heard whispering while the fingers infiltrated into the back of the cloth so that they could directly wipe on the surface of Cathleen's stomach skin.
“Whoever is allowed,” replied Cathleen. His hands joined in rubbing the distended part of his body.
Gerald langsng piled their hands and touched the distended abdomen simultaneously. “Cath?”
“Hm?”
“You want to know the result of my conversation with your Papa?”
“What?”
Gerald did not answer immediately, but turned Cathleen's body slowly to face him. Now, the two sharp eyeballs could stare at the beautiful face that had managed to steal his entire heart.
“Your father asked me to stop seeing Chloe. He said he's not my responsibility. Then gave me a choice, between coming back with you and still taking care of my ex-lover.”
“Then, what did you choose?”
“I choose you,” replied Gerald while putting long hair behind Cathleen's ears.
“What's the kid in my womb?”
“No, but because of your personality that has managed to grab my attention and heart.” Gerald planted a kiss on the woman's forehead, for quite some time, as proof of her seriousness.
Cathleen commented a relieved smile. He thinks Gerald's acting like that because of the kids. “Actually I already know that you still take care of Chloe a lot. But it's not my right to ban either. Although there is actually a sense of unwillingness and jealousy,” he said as the flickering fingers rubbed the jaw of the man in front of him.
“Sorry that all this time I have not been able to escape completely because I feel guilty. But, I will try to fulfill my promise to your Papa.” Gerald hugged Cathleen until the woman's head was placed on the chest of her field. “Is my decision evil and selfish?”
“If you ask me, of course the answer is no. Because I also want you to stay by my side with no shadow of your past. Maybe, this is where I'm selfish.”
“Have it, don't blame yourself. We better get some sleep,” invites Gerald to end the conversation that seems sensitive.
