After that day, my relationship with Zoey seemed to drift apart. Zoey is always busy with her work in the company. Not infrequently if he went out of town. Of course always accompanied by Jackson and Mr. Rick.
At first I didn't mind, but gradually I felt like I was being pushed aside. Zoey no longer comes to see me at the coffee shop. Always home late at night. Sometimes bad thoughts come into my head.
The shadow that Zoey and Jackson have now started a relationship always haunts me. But I immediately removed. I'm pretty sure that Zoey wouldn't be able to do that. Therefore, I never forbid it.
But it seems like what I did backfired for myself.
The longer I feel Zoey and Jackson getting closer. Some time ago even Zoey was no longer accompanied by Mr. Rick if traveling with Jackson. Not to mention, Jackson has also started picking up and delivering Zoey home.
" Zoey, can we talk ? I feel like you've been too busy lately" I said as Zoey just walked into the room.
Yeah, I've been waiting for him to come home. I wanted to convey what had been troubling my mind all along.
" Later on, I'm tired" Zoey replied, then passed to the bathroom.
I could see a tired look on his pale-looking face.
Zoey came out of the bathroom, her face looked fresher even though it still looked a little pale.
" Are you sick ? " look at me as she moves up the bed.
Zoey looked at me, I don't know what that look meant. But I feel like there's something she's hiding from me.
" Zoey." I cupped her cheeks with both my hands.
" Dave, I'm tired. I want to sleep "he said as he let go of both my hands.
Zoey then broke her body, then she turned around to back me.
I looked at his back, then lay down next to him. My hands stretched out to hug her and then somehow I rubbed her stomach.
It felt as if there was a pull to rub his stomach. Although I once said to delay having children. However, I must admit that I also crave the presence of a child in our lives.
" I'm sorry... Sorry if I can't help you. I'm sorry, if I can't be the husband you can be proud of. I hope we will be together until later with our children. I love you ! " i said while tucking Zoey's shoulder.
Zoey didn't respond to anything. Maybe he was tired and fell asleep. I understand that, I understand that very well.
Working as a company leader certainly drains a lot of energy and mind. Especially now, Mr. Rick has given everything to Zoey. Automatically he must also be a good company leader for the survival of the company that depends on him.
I let go of my arms from Zoey's stomach, and then lay down on Zoey's back. We lay with our backs on each other. Then I started to go into dreamland.
Zoey opened her eyes, as Dave pulled his hand. He touched his stomach.
Dear... Mommy doesn't know until when to keep this from your daddy ? Just a minute ! Until mommy finishes this last job, mommy will tell your daddy soon. And the three of us are going to get out of here.
Zoey talks to the fetus that is in her womb. A baby who has been growing and developing in his body since 8 weeks ago.
Zoey was going to tell Dave at the party the other day. But seeing Dave's attitude, Zoey undoes his intention because he is worried that Dave has not been able to accept the reality if he is pregnant.
Moreover, the attitude of Dave who seems to support the father and Jackson to always be close to him, making Zoey upset and plans to make Dave regret it.
Zoey did a lot of work with Jackson. It was done to make Dave realize if his mind is wrong and hope that Dave is jealous. And it seems, his wish will already get success.
Zoey has told Jackson and his father that he will return the company to his father. Therefore, all this time he worked hard to immediately regardless of his current condition. And that, made him have to work harder and always go together with Jackson.
Morning said hello, Zoey was ready to leave with a suitcase that he did not know when to prepare.
I just opened my eyes when I saw Zoey standing next to the bed. He looked at me fixedly.
" Our, honey... You're going ? " my question immediately lifted my body to sit down.
This time, he responded well no longer dodging.
" really ? Suddenly " said me.
" Not suddenly. It's been planned since the party. We meet clients and they are interested in working together. Therefore, now we will follow up our cooperation "said Zoey.
" I'm sorry, I didn't tell you. All this time I was too busy... "
" It's okay, I can understand "I cut off Zoey's words.
" How long have you been gone ? " i asked while looking at her face which somehow looks so beautiful with an aura that is so radiated.
" It seems a bit long, about 2 weeks. But if everything goes well, it could be before it's back Zoey replied.
I nodded in understanding.
" I went with Jackson. You're not angry, are you ? " obviously looking at me.
I smiled faintly, then shook my head.
" I'm not angry. Isn't it usually like that. It's just... Don't get too close to Jackson, I don't want them to think you're his future wife" I said.
" Hey, are you jealous ? " asked Zoey with a grin on her face.
" I may not be jealous, but I'm nobody. I have no power, no wealth, not even his face is more handsome than mine. I feel like Jackson is more everything than me and I'm worried that you'll be back with him let alone that I know very well if he still wants you "I'm honest.
Zoey cupped my face and looked at me fixedly.
" I don't care what Jackson or any guy has. I just chose you and forever will be. Later after everything is done, we will always be happy together. You, me, and our son " said Zoey and grabbed my hand and put it on her stomach.
I nodded and stroked Zoey's stomach.
I agree with his words. I'm sure I, Zoey, and our kids will always be together.
I stopped the movement of my hand over her stomach as I heard a knock on our door.
" Zoey... Are you ready ? "
The voice of Mr. Rick, my father-in-law who asked in front of our room.
" Yes, a little dad. I'll be down soon " said Zoey.
" You should go. Wait, I'm going to the bathroom first. After that, I'll take you down "my word then get up and move to the bathroom to brush your teeth and wash your face.
" Dave, if I'm pregnant are you happy ? You won't reject it, will you ? " ask Zoey as I hug her.
" I'm happy of course. I may not be ready, but I may reject my own "my answer as it is.
" Is there a child here ? " my question while stroking his stomach which is still flat.
I don't know, it felt like a magnet was pulling me to keep touching and stroking Zoey's stomach.
Zoey smiled in mystery.
" It's Dave, I have to go now. After I get home later, you can pet it again ", Zoey said.
We both came out of the room and went outside because Mr. Rick and Jackson were waiting there.
