It's been half a year since Selene and Ezekiel got married. She went to her best friend's house. Jennie greeted her with her five-month-old daughter. Jennie got married a year before Selene did. She married Ezekiel's dorm mate.

"I was planning on a girls' night out for us on Saturday. I've already told Rose and Sara."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJREdm4Z8u
"It's been a while since we saw Sara. Have you seen her after she got off her flight?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S1OiOm6Tm
Jennie was playing with her daughter's hand. "Not yet. You see, it's hard to go out since I was taking care of this little brat. She doesn't like going out that much."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpaesnaJhc
"I think she's just shy," Selene said.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGunNFCPcz
"I think she inherited her father's introverted behavior," Jennie said a bit disdainfully.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKqaS7KRM6
Selene laughed. "You do not look happy about it. Remember, that's the first thing that caught your eyes. You said you liked it when he was not talking to anyone that easily."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLWJK0tNLG
Jennie snorted. "That is when we are in college. I don't want girls always hanging around him." She said,
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqUnCq4HE1
"So, you mean, right now it's okay for him to be close to other girls?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEANkUmNxqw
Jennie glared at her. "You think I would tolerate him if I knew he was being chummy with other girls? See if he tries. This little brat and I will leave without turning back."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgiQTy1fGU
Selene burst out laughing. "You're so savage. Since you liked him being introverted, then you have to accept the fact that your daughter is just like him."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcfHJTeQeh
Jennie frowned visibly. "Well, at least she inherited my beauty."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfhpUyJK8W
Selene choked while drinking her lemonade.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxySfgxnrHr
Jennie saw it. "What?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4rghn96bW
Selene shakes her head. "Nothing." She said, "Anyway, Rose said our college classmate was planning on a reunion. Have you been active in our group chat?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztdr6u6S6v
Jennie put down the baby on the soft mat to let her crawl around. The little cutie was bubbling gibberish. Selene can't help but feel envious. "I haven't been that active in the group chat. I was busy in the morning taking care of Sophie. At night I was busy doing my manuscript."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx4ON4siol
Selene raised her eyebrow. "Oh? was it you're busy rolling around the sheets with Dustin?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxoRHJ08L6
Jennie was disgusted with her best friend. "I will let Ezekiel know to restrain your night's activities together. You're turning nastier each time I see you."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhfsKUfsNM
Selene was grinning like crazy, feeling proud of teasing her friend. She felt a soft thing bumping on her feet. When she looked down, she saw her goddaughter looking at her. She looked adorable with her large, misty eyes. She can't help but pick her up and sit the adorable baby on her lap.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXugQPgPcfX
Jennie was able to see how doting her best friend was to Sophie. "Are you not planning on having your own?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ4PmJ3Pgb
Selene was mesmerized playing with Sophie. "We are ready. It's just that I think it's not time yet." She said, a bit wistfully. She wants to have her child so badly. They are not taking any protections, “Ezekiel also thinks it's about time."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B35onPvB4
"Do you think you have a problem or perhaps..." Jennie said with an ambiguous air around her.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RKk0T5CyJ
Selene caught what she meant. She glared at her. "He is healthy, and so am I."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRk1tsaVuw
Jennie laughed. "I'm not saying he can't. What I meant is if he knows how to. Maybe he is not that aggressive in bed."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEECkLg74b
Selene was beginning to be flustered, with Jennie being shameless. "Stop it. He knows how to, of course. He was really on it every night."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1IEfZbvc6
With the last thing, Selene said, Jennie, can't help but burst out laughing. It made the baby cry as she was startled by the sudden laugh of her mother. Selene tried to amuse the startled baby, but it didn't stop crying. Jennie gave her the milk. When she was able to taste the milk, she stopped crying instantly.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87unmzcQ4x
Jennie was in the kitchen. It was already time for dinner. She let her handle the baby matter to her friend. Selene was watching a tv program while holding the baby, then suddenly, the baby pushed the bottle away. She looked at the baby. She was staring at her as well. She continued pushing the bottle away. She was looking so serious. Selene was amused. At that very moment, the baby looked so mature. She almost laughed, when suddenly something flashed in her eyes- a distant memory.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWYyGFt29D
Jennie came from the kitchen. She was wondering if Selene will stay for dinner. But then she was greeted by a dazed Selene while the baby was pulling on her friend’s long hair. Does this dummy can't feel pain?! She thought. She came close and grabbed the baby out of Selene's embrace, then Selene was freed from her daze. Jennie looked at her funny. "What’s with you?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplmdgebrxM
Selene was not her usual self. "Jen, I need to go. I need to go and cook dinner for Zeke."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOGsDc75Cx
"Wait, aren't you staying here for dinner? It's been a while since we last saw each other."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlvdWWlGZ2
"I'm sorry, maybe next time?" Selene said, although their house was not that far from each other, it was their working schedule that always stopped them from seeing each other.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd3E4jhNba
When Selene came home, she already smelled something. She knew Zeke was already home and cooking. After she changed her shoes for slippers, she went inside the kitchen. Zeke was still in his working attire, minus the coat. His Long white sleeves were rolled up and there was a black apron tied to his waist. This is the sight that never fails to make her fall in love with him over and over again. However, today was not one of those days, for she was really upset with him right now.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NcaFLOj6B
Ezekiel felt someone was watching him from the other side. He looked up from his cooking and saw his wife. He smiled. "Wife, the dinner will be ready in just a moment. Wash your hands and help me set up the table."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpjcXaPCAq
But Selene was not in the mood to be a good wife at that moment. She just stared at him seriously.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOliGG7dIbv
Ezekiel was able to read the mood. He looked at her, worried. "Why, what's wrong? Something happened?" He turned off the fire and walked to her.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOuRaOnK5O
She shakes her head. "Why, why did you reject me in middle school? Was it because you don't like me, or was it because your family was moving abroad?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkuFx4sg2C
Ezekiel doesn't know if he's going to cry or laugh. It has been almost seven years, and she still... Wait. "Have you remembered that day?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqlddugxjM
She nodded. I asked you to go to the park with me, I remembered, you carried a comic with you, we stayed there for like an hour, it was the day I confessed to you, I knew you were going to a boarding school, and I wanted to be your girlfriend before you go. So, tell me, what's the reason? “
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhuAAIb6PB
Ezekiel sighed. He came closer and embraced her. "Wife, before, I was not really into you. We are still young. But I know you are the only girl I felt attached to. Later, after several years of not seeing you, I finally realize I like you enough to be my girlfriend. That’s why I chose to have the same university we attended.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mWyXOy8Pa
Selene was disappointed that he answered neither of the two of what she thought of, so she was still frowning."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfyA0n8L8V
"Hey, I can't believe you will remember that." Ezekiel has a smile on his handsome face.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMGHBESLXH
She looked up from his embrace. "So, you prefer that I didn't, right?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKbQ36E0JX
"Of course not. Why would I?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sEiBlsrL5
She just looked at him. She didn't know why, but the more she looked at his smiling face, the more her frown went deeper. She had the feeling that he was happy he was able to make a fool out of her. "You sleep in the next room tonight." She said and then untangled herself from his embrace and then left the kitchen. Ezekiel was left alone; speechless. He could not believe he could sleep alone. What if Selene asked him to sleep alone until next week?! Next week is Valentine’s day!
