Morning sickness.
Seconds change minutes. Minutes Change hours and hours change days. Whatever happens, time goes on as it should and never waits for someone. Even if you quit, even if you give up. Time moves on and you don’t wait until you’re ready to move on with your life.
Lexi wook up early just as his phone alarm went off. Today is a special day, he could not continue to be sad to mourn of his late father. All he had to do was fix the situation. Especially improving his relationship with Jessica and Kim’s family.
If he just kept quiet, then forever his relationship with Jessica would be in place and there would be no development at all.
The man pecked in front of the mirror. He wore black jeans combined with a light gray top. A blue hat completed the look this time. There were backpacks as well as small bags containing identity and other valuable objects. After making sure everything was ready, Lexi walked down the stairs to the ground floor.
The first thing he did was see his mother. Miss Anna, he had to say permission from mother.
Lexi knocked quietly on his mother’s door. The clock shows 05: 35 AM. He should arrive at the airport around six o’clock before the flight to Singapore at 07: 00 AM.
Not long after, the door opened. Mistress Anna stood behind the door and looked at Lexi.
“Mom, I’m going to Singapore now,” he said as he took his mother’s hand and then kissed Mrs. Anna’s right hand.
The middle-aged woman was silent for a moment. she watched Lexi closely, remembering that she and her late husband had always obeyed her son’s wishes. However, she now realizes that not everything could be replaced with money. Not everything could be bought with money. it could say, it was Jessica’s presence that helped Mrs. Anna mature Lexi. she taught his son that not everything could be measured with money.
Yes, even now. The one billion dollars that Lexi had given to Jessica for free in the past, meant nothing to Jessica’s eyes now. And the Kim family was economically more everything compared to what the Ricardo family has.
“you have to be careful. I pray that Mr. Kim will open the door of forgiveness for our family. I hope you and Jessica can be together again.” Mrs. Anna gently patted her son’s shoulder while reciting the best prayers for her only son who is the only spirit she has.
“Thank You, Mom, if you have anything to say, Call Me. I deserve to know everything that happens in the House!” Lexi said. What happened yesterday, he didn’t want to happen again.
Mrs. Anna was now hugging her son.
“I’m leaving, Mom,” Lexi said once more as she got up from her seat. Then, he walked out of the House.
On the porch, there was Arsene who had been waiting for him since earlier. “you are leaving now?” Arsene asked.
“Yes,” he replied.
Arsene walked first. He opened the back door for Lexi. Then, he sat behind the wheel. Without waiting long, Arsene immediately drove the engine of his car to the airport.
“Sir, are you sure Mr. Kim wants to see you?” Arsene asked. He glanced briefly in the direction of the front mirror to hear the answer from the man sitting in the back seat.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“I want to see Jessica, but I will also try to meet Mr. Kim, if Mr. Kim doesn’t want to see me, I just need to provide the evidence I’ve been looking for for one month.” Lexi snorted irritably. It’s an uphill battle, but at least he wouldn’t dodge any more of Mr. Kim’s accusations against his family.
“Alright, I’m sure you’ve prepared everything well.”
The two men remained silent and busy with their own thoughts. However, Lexi suddenly felt very nauseous.
“Why you, sir?” Arsene, who saw Lexi covering his mouth, asked .
“I feel nauseous!” Lexi’s expression looks to be holding something back.
“You haven’t eaten, or maybe you ate the wrong thing last night!” Arsene asked. In his time as Lexi’s Secretary, he had never seen this man so nauseous in the morning. This was his first time.
Lexi shook his head. He sits back to reduce nausea. Later, Arsene gave eucalyptus oil on the dashboard of the car. That eucalyptus oil belongs to her little daughter.
“What is this? Should I drink it?” Lexi looked closely at the small bottle of eucalyptus oil.
“Open the bottle, you just have to rub around the neck and the nape of the neck!” Arsene said obviously. That’s what his wife did when he caught a cold. Suddenly Arsene remembered something. He once suddenly felt nauseous like that when his wife was in the early phase of pregnancy. “Sir, I’m sorry you’re not in a love relationship with a woman other than Miss Jessica right?”
“What do you mean, I’m not interested in anyone other than Jessica,” he insisted. “then, what?”
” I’m sorry, I thought you were impregnating another woman and now you have morning sickness, ” Arsene said. ” I used to have it too, not Kania but I was always nauseous in the morning, ” he explained.
Lexi didn’t answer, he just thought about Jessica. Could his wife be pregnant now? However, Lexi couldn’t hope for more, he knew it was just his mind.
he couldn’t believe they had arrived at the airport fastly. Arsene stopped his car in the parking area, then he drove Lexi to the waiting room.
“Sir, you have to be careful, good luck.” Arsene gave him Lexi’s backpack.
“Yes, thank you.” Lexi smiled and immediately sat down to wait for his scheduled flight to Singapore.

Freddy Kim, not at all put heart despite Jessica’s moaning and all three grandchildrens persuaded and asked that he allowed Lexi and Jessica to meet.
However, Jessica, Daniel, and David who were currently still in the same room had not lost their minds. They still had many ways to take their grandfather’s heart.
“So when is Lexi going to come here?” Daniel asked as he watched Jessica who returned to enjoy her morning meal that she had put under the bed.
“This morning sis, about half past nine he will arrive at Changi Airport,” Jessica replied between chewing food. Jessica seemed to be pregnant. He had never seen Jessica eat this much in the morning. A glass of milk alone usually did not drink, but now she ate two boxes of food, plus a second glass of milk. the maid just made Jessica another glass of milk.
“Well then, let’s three of us pick him up? you’re going to get Lexi, aren’t you?” Daniel asked.
“then, are we not going to go to the office! Grandpa can get mad if we skip work and choose to do something else!” David protested.
“No need, we’re off to the office today. We always follow grandfather’s orders, we can break them once in a while so that grandfather knows that he is too stubborn!” Daniel was upset.
“All right,” David said.
” Let’s go to the airport now, ” Jessica said, looking at the clock on the wall that was already showing almost eight o’clock.
Daniel nodded in agreement. it was same with David.
The three of them came out of Jessica’s room and Daniel’s guess was right. The grandfather was indeed waiting for them in the family room right in front of Jessica’s room.
“Where are you going?” Freddy Kim, who had been waiting for his three grandchildrens to come out of Jessica’s room, asked. They not only had breakfast at the dinner table, but Also do not immediately leave for work.
He looked at his grandfather, without an answer.
“David, Daniel, you two don’t go to the office! For Jessica, let Grandpa talk to her, You two go to the office right now!” their grandfather did not want to get a rejection from his two grandchildrens.
“No, I don’t want to be with Grandpa, I want to go for a walk with David and Daniel!” Jessica said.
“David and I have a day off today. I can’t stand Jessica staying in the room and not eating!” David answered without hesitation.
Then the three of them immediately walked out leaving Kim’s grandfather, who was still fixated on what his three grandchildren had just done. Jessica was able to get Daniel and David on her side. The middle-aged man could only swallow, looking back at his grandsons who were moving away. He began to think, had he been too stubborn so that his three grandchildrens would not listen to what he ordered?
