THE TRAP OF LOVE
#50

It's been 1 week Anna's been at Gavin's house. Anna was in the room with her twins. It was Gavin who asked him not to be too tired.

Keeping 1 baby alone must be tired and this Anna must take care of 2 babies at once. Gavin once offered an additional babysitter in addition to Poppy, but Anna subtly rejected him, wanting to keep her own baby.

Every day Gavin goes to the office to check the files related to the project he is working on. In addition, he also continues to conduct investigations to find the whereabouts of Uncle Joe through Mr. Ken.

Gavin just found out that Uncle Joe, Mr. Ken and Lexy are best friends. Their different ages did not make them awkward, instead getting more familiar. Joe is the oldest, while Lexy is the youngest, so it is already considered their little sister.

Upon returning from the office, Gavin would see Anna interacting with their son. Much different from what Elisha did, which only left Elle with Poppy. Today Poppy is more in the kitchen than a babysitter.

From behind the door, Gavin was always smiling looking at the interaction. I wanted to be there, to be a happy family.

Gavin knocks on the door and enters Anna's room.

"Can I play with them for a while?" ask Gavin.

"Of course," Anna invited Gavin over. But it is he who is now away. He saw from the couch the interaction that Gavin did. Poppy always tells him how Gavin loves Elle and always takes the time to play with his son, despite all the busy he is.

Am I too evil? - inward Anna.

"No .. no, I don't love her, neither do I and I don't want us stuck in a marriage just because of the child. We'd better be in our own status, so we don't hurt each other."

Occasionally Gavin looked towards Anna who was caught looking at him. But Anna did not turn her eyes away. With courage he always looked into Gavin's eyes, and even made Gavin become misbehaved.

"Where is Nathan and who is Nixon? I can't tell the difference yet" asked Gavin.

Anna got up from her seat and walked up to her, then she showed Gavin the difference the twins had. Nathan is always calm, while Nixon is more cheerful. Nixon also had a small mole at the base of his right arm. No one will realize if not looked at carefully.

Gavin understood. Anna was right next to him. He could see Anna from a very close distance. He returns to see Anna's smile as she interacts with their twins, and Gavin loves that smile.

After Gia and Lexy faced off against Mom Clara, it was Dad Chris's turn before them, staring at them both sharply, without the slightest desire to turn away.

"Quick say! What did Mommy say to Gi?" ask Dad Chris.

"I .... "

"I love Gia" Lexy said.

"What does that mean? since when?" dad Chris asked suspiciously.

"I don't know myself, but ... "

"But she's my daughter" Dad Chris said again, "Did you not see the age difference between the two of you?"

"I'm still young sir" Lexy said again.

"Young? You're the same age as me."

"No!! I'm 12 years younger than you, and still single," Lexy couldn't have accepted that she was said to be the same age as Dad Chris.

"But Gia is my daughter."

"But I really love him."

"Uncle .. ," said Gia quietly, but could still be heard by Dad Chris.

"Look, my daughter just called you Uncle, it already seems that you are my age."

"Daddy, already," Gia looked at Dad Chris, "I love Uncle, Dad."

Dad Chris sighed harshly. He is getting more confused with the statements of each of them. It never occurred to him that he had to marry his son to a man of his age.

"Lex, come back to Indonesia. Nicholas needs you" said Dad Chris suddenly.

"Listen to me, come back to Indonesia!" Dad Chris said firmly.

"Good, Sir."

Lexy left Gia and Dad Chris in the sitting room. Gia got up from her seat and wanted to chase Lexy.

"Where are you going?" ask Dad Chris.

"I ... "

"Sit down!!"

Gia sat back down, she did not want to argue with Dad Chris. With a lowered face, now a circle of tears began to fall, wetting his cheeks.

Dad Chris actually did not have the heart to see the state of his daughter. It was just that he also did not want his daughter to be wrong in stepping.

Dad Chris keeps Gia away with Lexy only intending to see their seriousness. He did not want them to think of a relationship as a game, let alone see their age adrift quite far.

Lexy is an adult, but she has never had a relationship with any woman. Dad Chris never saw Lexy with any woman.

And so is Gia. He is too young, according to Dad Chris. Is it true that he feels is love, or just just see Lexy as someone he admires.

Dad Chris suddenly felt angry.

"Do you love her?" this time Dad Chris asked more gently.

"I .... "

"You can't answer it yourself, that's what doubts Daddy's heart."

"But I ... "

"Daddy wants you to understand first how you really feel, because marriage is not a game. Go," Dad Chris told Gia.

Gia left immediately to leave Kris. He did not return to his room, but instead headed for Lexy's room.

"Uncle!" call Gia while knocking on Lexy's room door.

Lexy opened the door and pulled Gia in. He restrained Gia behind the door and looked gently at Gia.

"Gift, listen to me. I may not be the man that suits you. But everything I said was true."

Gia cupped Lexy's face with both hands, she could not afford to lose this man in front of her.

"Is Uncle really going?"

"For a while I'll be gone. But I didn't leave because I gave up. I promise I'll find a way to get your parents to agree, as well as Ginea's extended family."

Gia hugged Lexy's body, "I'll convince Daddy, too."

Lexy returned Gia's embrace as well as rubbed Gia's hair which she loved the aroma.

"I love you, Gift," Lexy said as she peeked at Gia's forehead.

"I love you too, Lexy."

Hearing her name being mentioned by Gia, making a big smile on Lexy's face, she kissed Gia again on her forehead, which then went down to her cheeks, then to Gia's lips, which she liked very much.

"Get your heart to me, my little girl" whispered Lexy.

Gia returns Lexy's kiss with tenderness. The two of them are swept up in a love relationship of different ages.
