After having lunch with her mother Adriana decided to rest in her room while accompanying Evan who was sleeping. She reached into the pocket of her jeans then took out her smartphone and looked at the post on the Instagram account she was following. the woman saw her husband's post showing being together with another girl.
"Beautiful and sexy. it's right that he immediately ignores me as a wife because his old love is indeed very interesting," Adriana muttered with a heart that hurt because the photo shows Mark kissing Maura's cheek with a background like being in the room. "Maybe they've been making out behind me all this time.... divorce would be better."
Ting... tong...
A bell rang.
Adriana sighed putting her phone in any direction, then looked up at the ceiling. "Who else is coming? why are there always guests when I want to rest!"
Because the bell kept ringing and no one answered the door, Adriana finally got out of bed and walked to the living room. she passed the living room and saw Amanda sleeping on a silver fluffy rug. "No wonder no one opened the door, it turns out she was sleeping."
Ceklek...
Adriana sighed when she saw the guests who came. "Mark...."
"Sorry if I disturb your rest time. I want to see Evan because I miss him," said Mark with his flat gaze.
"He's sleeping," said Adriana with great pain. Just now she saw the portrait of her husband's intimacy with another woman, and now instead came to see hef In fact, she was trying to forget it buried deep in her love.
"Then let me follow him to the room ... I want to see him, hug him ... without him I feel lonely," said Mark looking pleading.
Adriana smiled faintly after hearing the words that seemed to regret being left by Evan., from the photo, her husband looks happy and not lonely at all. 'You hypocrite,' she thought.
"Please come in. I'll make coffee for you," Adriana shouted as she stepped back into the house, letting Mark also enter, and went straight to her room.
Mark entered Adriana's simple room which was very different from his luxurious room. He sat on the edge of the bed, staring sadly at his son who was sleeping, hugging a bolster. the man rubbed his sweaty son's forehead because the atmosphere was quite hot and the room was cramped to create a stuffy situation.
"If he came with me, he'd be living in a more comfortable room and house," Mark muttered then looked for a book or something on the table to fan Evan so he wouldn't be too hot.
for a while, Mark finally fell asleep while Adriana chose to lie down on the carpet with Amanda who was sleeping. she was reluctant to follow Mark into the room because soon they were not a husband and wife.
"Mommy... Mommy...!"
There was a cry from inside the room. Adriana rushed into the room and saw Evan fell off the bed while Mark was sleeping soundly.
Adriana immediately approached Evan and took him back to the bed and tried to calm him down by hugging him. "Don't cry anymore. Mommy's here," she said.
"Gosh, why him?" asked Mark just woke up and saw Evan crying.
"Fell out of bed," Adriana answered with a flat look. "I trusted you to accompany him but you fell asleep and neglected to take care of him until he fell!"
"He fell because your bed is too narrow. He'd better come with me and live in my house which is more comfortable than it is stuffy and very hot here!"
"So ... You're going to make him separate from me and then make him take care of by his stepmother? You are so selfish, Mark!" Adriana looked at Mark with hatred who said easily, without thinking how painful it would be for a wife who had been betrayed to be separated from her child.
"I'm doing what's best for Evan, I don't want him to live deprived."
"The best thing for Evan is to stay with me. I can make him happy, fulfill all his needs. He doesn't need to live in your fancy house. he'll only get hurt more because his grandmother or aunt never thought of him!" Adriana confirmed then stood up and asked Evan to leave the room.
Mark followed Adriana who walked into the living room and then sat on the sofa Evan was sobbing. "let me carry him," he cried.
"You are with Daddy for a while. Mommy will make milk," said Adriana, then let Evan be carried by Mark.
Adriana rushed to make milk in a hurry. not without reason, but he was too afraid that Mark would take Evan without his knowledge.

In the living room, Mark invites Evan to sit back while playing with his smartphone. He took his son to play a game of vegetable-eating worms.
"Wow, daddy lost now you try to play it," exclaimed Mark handing his cell phone to Evan.
Immediately Evan was happy and immediately started playing the game. But just for a moment, the smartphone rang because there was an incoming call from Maura.
Mark took the smartphone and answered Maura's call. "Hello, Maura."
"Where are you? I canceled to dye my hair. Now you have to take me home because Mom and Dad want to talk to you," Maura said from the phone.
Marc was silent for a moment, glancing at Evan who was getting comfortable sitting on his lap and Adriana came with milk for Evan. "Okay, I'll be right over."
Adriana sat on the sofa, watching Mark who had just hung up.
"Adriana. I have to go home because I have important business," said Mark then took his wallet from his pants pocket. He took a credit card then gave it to Adriana. "Buy a bigger bed for you and Evan so he doesn't fall over like that."
"No, I can buy it myself with my savings." Adriana immediately refused.
"Then save this money just in case you know you need it. Please don't, it's rejected because this is my obligation as Evan's father," Mark exclaimed with a flat look. he put the credit card on the table and drank his coffee.
"Evan, let Daddy go home ... now you just drink milk," Adriana exclaimed as she grabbed Evan from Mark's lap.
"I want to come with Daddy. .." Evan grabbed Mark's arm instead.
"I can't, dear. Daddy has to go on an important business. Next time Daddy will be here again," Mark exclaimed as he stood up and handed Evan to be carried by Adriana.
Evan started to cry, but Adriana couldn't help but ask Mark to stay for a while to calm their son. it made her so sick as if he felt guilty that this separation had made her. son a victim. But even holding on is useless, because it will cause more pain.
'This is the best and this is the path I have to walk to get freedom and happiness in other ways. I can make Evan happy without Mark caring more about Maura,' she thought with all her strength in her heart.
