The Marriage Business
TMB CHAPTER 36 - Mochi

Gretel smiled to herself when she remembered the ambiguous sentence from Hansel especially at the funeral, her husband seemed to not care about Abel's screams.

"Is this a code?" gretel murmured in his heart.

"My benevolence points seem to keep filling up, nice Gree!"

However, he did not want to act rashly because thinking about Hansel's feelings was the most important thing.

They were currently on their way to the mansion of daddy Keenan.

Gretel glanced at her husband who was focused on driving then asked. "What did Abel mean, my husband?"

He will pretend not to know the chapter Hansel promised to divorce her after their marriage was six months old.

"I don't want to hurt you, Gree. So you better not know" said Hansel, who began to think about his wife's feelings.

Gretel did not ask any more, she was already quite happy for Hansel's answer. She hopes her relationship with her husband improves with each passing day.

On the other hand, Jesa can only lament his folly of returning to have sex with Ethel.

He is currently still in Ethel's apartment unit as the man keeps him away.

"Stupid you're Jesa!" the woman hit her head when she recalled the incident this morning when she woke up naked.

Jesa recalls being semi-conscious and constantly bullied by Ethel.

"Basic playing victim, manipulative, selfish, shameless!" shouted Jesa.

Ethel who just returned to buy food from downstairs heard everything. "You must be yelling at me, right?"

"It's good to be conscious" said Jesa.

Ethel lazily argued, he put his groceries on the table. There were two grocery bags, one containing food and the other that made Jesa curious.

When Jesa opened the contents were full of security.

"W-what's this?" ask Jesa.

"Oh God!" Jessa covered her face with both hands.

"Therefore, this is all just in case" said Ethel.

"Keep in case? do I want to do it again?"

"So far, you've continued to tease and trap me!"

Ethel sat down next to Jesa and then expressed his plan. "For while we're staying together, I'm afraid you're pregnant!"

Just imagine Jessa being scared herself, how she will get pregnant with Ethel's child. He will die standing up for it.

"As per the agreement, you became my assistant. You'll get a salary and a free place to live" Ethel said.

It seemed that Jesa had no choice, he had to face all the problems bravely.

"If I get pregnant, I'll give you the baby" Jesa said.

Ethel could only sigh, he felt like he was truly a victim. Once desecrated, dumped by caring for a baby.

"Mochi, I named our son Mochi" Ethel said later.

"Geez, I'm not sure if I'm pregnant or not, why have you given it a name" said Jesa inexhaustible.

"Then, then..." Ethel gave the phone to Jesa. "Write your phone number, I'll save it by Mochi's name!"

Jesa picks up the phone and writes the number, but she does need Ethel's contact if she's really pregnant.

"Tonight, my family will have dinner together. You need to come with me, "take Ethel with you.

"Why should I come? I just want to stay," Jesa refused.

Ethel rubbed Jesa's stomach before answering. "Mochi has to eat well, my mommy's cooking is the best!"

"Let's.... Don't think I'm pregnant!" shouted Jesa.
