"Your reaction is very suspicious. There must be something you are hiding from me." Rena's eyes quickly looked at Elena's face. Observe every change that is displayed on her face.

"It's not like that, Mom. I'm just surprised that Mommy wanted to live here so suddenly." Elena clenched her fists. Smiling a little to cover the restlessness of her heart. And hope that Rena does not suspect her anymore.

​​

"Mommy wants to rest first. You should also rest. A pregnant woman can't be too tired."

"Yes, Mom." Rena got up and walked towards the guest room that Auntie Yanti had tidied up.

Elena stared at the woman's back closely, after Rena disappeared from her sight she immediately took out her cellphone and contacted Elise right away.

"Hello, Elena."

"Elise, how about this?" Elena's tone was a little frantic. She could not cover up her worries.

Hearing Elena's panic tone made Elise panic too, "What's wrong? Does Mommy know about you?"

"No, Mommy doesn't know yet, but she will live in the mansion until the baby is born. How about this?"

"What ?! Are you serious? Mommy will stay?"

"Yes, even Auntie Yanti has tidied up Mommy's clothes. How is this Elise? If Mommy lives in the mansion then I can't stay here. But if you stay in the mansion, Mommy will know if you're not pregnant."

"You're right. Gosh, how about this?"

There was silence. The two of them did not speak and think about what the right solution is. Elena thought the only safest way they had to go was for her to stay in the mansion and Elise temporarily had to stay away first. But ... She didn't want to say the solution. Because Elena isn't sure about that either. Live alone with Brian and pretend to be Elise. Act like a wife who loves Brian so much. Gosh, Elena couldn't imagine it.

"Now you get to the acting first, Elena. I'll call Brian and discuss this."

"Yes alright." After the call was cut off, Elena got up and walked towards the kitchen. Since the age of four months of pregnancy, Elena's appetite has increased. And she gets hungry quickly too.

When Elena was in the kitchen she saw Auntie Yanti who was making tea.

"Auntie Yanti!" Call Elena quietly.

Auntie Yanti turned and smiled. "Yes, Miss." Since the first time she saw Elena in this mansion, she was surprised about Elise who had a twin. And the more surprised to hear Brian's brief explanation about the woman who is now pregnant with Brian's child. She didn't really like that fact, but she also wanted Brian to be happy. Since childhood, she has helped Rena to take care of Brian. She naturally wanted him to be happy. And Yanti understands a little why they do this strange thing. Because Elise was not pregnant during their five years of marriage, plus Rena's insistence on asking for her grandson and her dislike of Elise.

"Auntie Yanti won't tell Mommy about me, right?"

"What right do you have to tell Mrs. Rena. Aunty is a maid, Miss. And I just want Mr. Brian to be happy. Mrs. Rena will be staying here, so what? You two can't stay here."

"I don't know Auntie," said Elena.

"Miss Elena, you don't just come here to talk to Auntie, right?"

"Auntie, don't call miss Elena. Mommy can be suspicious if you hear that. And yes, I'm hungry, Auntie," said Elena, rubbing her bulging stomach and smiling innocently.

"Alright miss - eh Aunty mean madame."

"Auntie preheats the food."

"No need Auntie. I'm very hungry," said Elena who immediately opened the rice hood on the table. One of her left hands rubbed her belly. The twins were already moving restlessly in there. They seem impatient for nutrition.

"Madame's stomach looks like a six months pregnant mother, even though she is still four months old, right? Could it be that you are pregnant with twins." From three months of gestation, Elena's stomach was rapidly enlarging. Of course, it was because she was carrying twins.

And only her, Elise, Brian, and Diana know about her twins' pregnancy. They kept the twins a secret because Elena would take care of one of them. So, no one should know if Elena is pregnant with twins.

"What are you talking about auntie? I have a big stomach, maybe because I've been eating too much lately." After saying that Elena ate her food calmly. And Auntie Yanti went to deliver tea for Rena.

....

The afternoon has arrived. Brian had just parked his car in the garage and immediately got into the mansion. He had to meet Elena right away. Previously he had spoken with Elise. When his wife called and said this emergency. He immediately canceled all-important meetings and meetings in the office. Then meet Elise at her apartment.

After talking to Elise and discussing everything. Brian and Elise have already decided.

"Auntie, where's Ele — Elise?" Brian asked when he saw Auntie Yanti who was carrying snacks. Brian had to control what he said. He can't be wrong to call Elena and make Rena hear and suspect her.

"Madame is in the back yard with Mrs. Rena." Brian quickly passed Auntie Yanti and hurried to the back porch.

He saw Elena and Rena who sat next to each other separated by the table.

Brian went straight to Elena. Shocked the woman and gave her a look.

"Brian, are you home?"

It's only four o'clock in the afternoon and Brian has already come home which would be natural if Elena said that. The same reaction Elise would have said if she saw Brian come home early. But Elena's heart was relieved to see Brian who came and erased the awkwardness between her and Rena.

"Come with me. I have something to discuss with you." Brian grabbed Elena's wrist and was about to pull the woman to her feet when Rena interrupted her.

"You just got home. Instead of greeting Mommy and asking about Mommy, but instead pulling Elise away." Rena snatched, annoyed and disliked.

"Mommy." Brian feels guilty and lets go of Elena's hand. He walked over to Rena.

"How is Mommy? How was the trip out of town?"

"Stale!" said Rena, annoyed. The middle-aged woman sulked and turned her face away from Brian's sight. Elena did not think that the woman who always stared at her was so horrible that she could act like that to Brian.

"I heard Mommy will stay here until Elise gives birth?" Hearing Brian's words, Rena immediately turned to look at Elena. Then turned to stare at her beloved son.

"Yes, Mommy will stay here. Why? Do you want to forbid Mommy from living here?"

"It's not like that, Mom. But—"

"Mommy can't stay at home and let your wife act carelessly. She could endanger herself and Mommy doesn't want to lose Mommy's precious grandson."

"Mommy mean?"

"This afternoon Elise went shopping alone. Driving a car alone. Do you know how dangerous that is? What if something happens while on the road? What if she suddenly gets into an accident?"

Brian turned to look at Elena who was now looking down. Now he knows what triggers Rena to live in his mansion. Hearing Rena's explanation, Brian's heart was also worried and anxious. He understood maybe Elise and Elena were just going shopping. And he also couldn't restrain Elena from leaving, that woman couldn't stay in the mansion all the time. He must have wanted to go out now and then to get rid of her boredom. Brian will find a driver for Elena.

"Yes, Mom. Brian's going to find a driver so Elise doesn't have to drive the car and go alone."

"Mommy also lives here to watch her. You must be busy all day working in the office. And let Mommy take care of and look after Elise and her womb while you go to work."

Brian nodded. He also agreed with Rena's reasoning. Someone has to look after Elena. Brian didn't want anything bad to happen to Elena and her children.

Brian was reminded again of the decision he and Elise had discussed earlier. He had to speak to Elena immediately, "Um, Mom. Brian and Elise are coming in first, huh?"

Rena's eyebrows shot up one side at Brian. Do not want Rena to be suspicious. Brian pulled Elena gently to her feet and put her arm around her waist.

"Honey, we have a business to discuss," Brian said teasingly. Hoping to outwit Rena. But it sounds very strange and strange to Elena's ears. The woman knew what business to discuss with Brian. But the cheeky, teasing tone of Brian's voice and the gaze made Elena uncomfortable. Uncomfortable because now her face has heated up. And her heart was beating very fast due to Brian's touch on her waist.

Don't want to wait any longer. Brian invites Elena to enter the mansion.

"Brian, remember Elise is pregnant. So, you have to move gently," said Rena, stopping Brian and Elena's footsteps who were at the door.

Suddenly, Rena's ambiguous words made Elena's face heated up. And Brian cursed silently between annoyance and embarrassment because his mother teased and warned him. Brian quickly invited Elena to leave.

Brian took Elena to his room. At the door to Brian and Elise's room, Elena's footsteps stopped. She turned to Brian. Hesitant and doesn't want to get into Brian and Elise's most private area.

"Come in." Brian pushed Elena's shoulder lightly and walked behind her. The man turned around to close the door and lock it.

He pulled Elena's arm to sit on the edge of the bed. There was no time for Elena to observe and see the atmosphere of this master chamber. She was just waiting for what Brian would say. Elena's heart was beating fast as she waited for Brian's words and was alone with Brian in this room.
