Elena just lifted the pan from the oven. The cookies she baked finally cooked perfectly. The smell is very tantalizing. Aunty Yanti who helped also couldn't wait to taste it.

Since an hour ago Elena was busy making these cookies. She's tired of not doing anything. So she did her hobby, which is baking cakes. The mansion's lonely conditions also made her free to cook in the kitchen. Brian is working while Rena goes somewhere. Elena didn't know because the middle-aged woman just left.

​​

After the cookies have cooled, Elena dipped the top in the topping mixture of lemon juice and liquid sugar. And finally her Glazed Lemon Cookies are ready to eat.

Aunty Yanti almost drooled at the cookies.

"Come on Aunty, give it a try." Elena asked Aunty Yanti to try her cookies.

Aunty Yanti immediately took one cookie and ate it. The combination of sour lemon and sweet sugar melted in her mouth. And Aunty Yanti gave both thumbs up for Elena.

"Sweet and delicious, Madame."

Elena smiled, took one cookie and ate it. Then dip all the cookies into the topping.

Elena deliberately made cookies, she started snacking frequently and sometimes went hungry at night. That's why she makes cookies. And Glazed Lemon Cookies fit perfectly on Elena's tongue who still likes to eat sour.

Suddenly Rena came and entered the kitchen area. She looked at Elena and Aunty Yanti. The aroma of the cookies smelled clearly on her nose.

"You make cookies?"

"Yes, Mom. I make cookies for my snacks. I'm often hungry and my mouth wants to eat. So, I make cookies. Mommy want to try?" Elena offers a plate of cookies to Rena.

Rena's sharp eyes stared at Elena sarcastically, then turned to the cookies on the plate. The golden color of the cookies and the tantalizing toppings plus the very sweet scent of the cake moved Rena to take one cookie. The middle aged woman ate it and fell silent.

Elena is patiently waiting for Rena's comment. She stared at Rena who was chewing cookies.

"What are these cookies?" asked Rena seriously. Her eyes stared at the plate filled with cookies. The taste of cookies was unique on her tongue. The combination of sour lemon and sweet sugar. Feels good on Rena's tongue.

"They're called Glazed Lemon Cookies, Mom."

"It tastes good and the lemons taste fresh." Rena's hand grabbed one cookie and ate it again.

Elena smiled broadly. She is happy that Rena likes her cookies.

"Did you make it?"

"Yes, Madame. Mrs. Elise made it."

"How did you make it?" asked Rena curiously. This is the first time she's trying these cookies. It tasted very good and she was curious about how to make it. And Elena says it all, the ingredients of the cake and how to make it. The two of them were involved in a conversation that they unwittingly made them more familiar with.

....

Brian was standing in a corner of the airport. In front of him a wide glass wall with views of the airstrip was clearly visible. He just escorted Elise away. Even her plane had just taken off.

Brian's eyes were still on the plane that was flying farther and farther away.

A hand tapped his shoulder lightly.

"It must be hard to let Elise go. She was gone for quite a long time. Two months is quite a long time. And it's very hard for you to fast that long," said Fredy sympathetically. Which immediately got a glare from Brian.

"I'm sure you will be very frustrated every night. And I bet my ferrari car, you will be tempted to touch Elena." Fredy grinned and raised an eyebrow teasing Brian. The man just snorted in annoyance and turned away.

....

Brian walked into the mansion. The day was quite tiring and there were many important meetings that he had to attend. Brian's hand tugged at the tie and loosened it.

The noise from the living room made his forehead frown. Brian stopped walking to catch his ears.

The noise wasn't from television, it was the chatter of two women. Brian walked with definite steps into the living room. And how shocked he was to see the scene before him.

Rena and Elena are sitting side by side, even very close. Their eyes focused on the iPad screen in Rena's grasp. The two women didn't even notice Brian's arrival and were excited to see something on the iPad screen.

"Mom, El!" called Brian quietly. The two women looked up at the same time. Glanced at Brian then turned to stare back at the iPad screen. Just ignore Brian's existence. This made Brian even more confused.

He walked over. Place his suit jacket and briefcase onto the single sofa, and unbutton the top two and roll the sleeves up to the elbows.

"Mom, Elise," Brian called again and this time only got a mumble in response. The two women seemed reluctant to look at Brian. This made Brian even more curious.

He walked over wanting to see what they were watching. Not being able to see the iPad screen clearly made Brian move from Elena's side and walk to the back of the sofa. Brian's body was bent and his head was right on the right side of Elena's head. And he can clearly see the video that is being displayed on the iPad.

"Ah ... so, you girls are watching the cake cooking video huh."

"Shhh, shut up," Rena protested, making Brian shut up and watched the iPad screen.

After a few minutes the cooking video finally ended.

"Mommy has wanted to cook this cake for a long time. But it always fails, even though Mommy has followed every step in the video."

"Really? I've never made these cookies. But I'm curious and want to try them." Elena is still staring at the iPad screen. Again she played the video.

"What if we make one tomorrow?" asked Rena enthusiastically. It's been a long time since she wanted to make Chewy Spicy Cookies but it always fails and tastes bad.

"Yes, Mom. Let's try it tomorrow," replied Elena with a cheerful smile. She loves baking cookies as well as cookies and is always happy to try new recipes.

Brian smiled broadly. He didn't expect Mommy and Elena to get along so easily like this. Maybe because they have the same hobby of cooking, the two women quickly get close. Brian briefly kissed Elena's right cheek and moved to sit on the couch too. The couch was wide enough for two people to sit on but if Brian sat down it would have been very narrow.

"Aish, why are you sitting here, Brian." Rena complained that the sofa felt cramped.

Brian just chuckled and pulled Elena to his feet. Make the woman frown. Before Elena could comment Brian pulled her back to sit opposite him. And Brian hugged her from behind.

"If it's like this, it's no longer narrow, right," said Brian calmly. The only thing that got a click of disbelief from Rena and Elena who was a little uncomfortable with this position. It's too intimate and makes her uncomfortable.

"So, tomorrow you and Mommy want to try this cake recipe?" Brian's chin is on Elena's left shoulder and his eyes are on the iPad screen. His two big hands rubbed Elena's belly. He don't know since when, but the act of rubbing and stroking Elena's belly has become his favorite activity. Especially if the thought of having his child in Elena's stomach makes him even more fond of doing that action.

"Brian." Elena put Brian's hand away and was about to get up. But Brian's one hand held her body.

"Why?" asked Brian.

Why did he say? Gosh, I think Elena wanted to hit Brian on the head with that iPad. Elena knew that Brian's action was only pretending in front of Rena. But ... look at the situation first. The man just came home from the office. Jeez!

"Brian, you smell and you just got home. So, get away from me."

"Usually you always like to spoil me."

"When did I do that?" Elena's eyes widened in disbelief and quickly protested.

"You forgot, last night you hugged me very tightly." Brian's words made Elena's face turn red. Rena who saw that only smiled.

"Come on, go take a shower, Brian. You really smell bad." Rena even moved away and covered her nose.

"Look, you stink, Brian." Elena also covered her nose and got up.

"Hey!" Brian protested not accepting. He immediately got up with an annoyed expression.

"Watch out. If I have a bath and smell good, don't come near me," Brian threatened to Elena. Then he went to the room to take a shower. After Brian's departure, Elena and Rena chuckled. It was amused by Brian's scowl.

....

Elena, Rena and Aunty Yanti were busy preparing the ingredients for making Chewy Spice Cookies as they had planned yesterday.

Suddenly Brian arrived in his suit and walked into the kitchen with a big smile.

"What's the matter? Is there anything left?" Elena's forehead frowned. Wonder with Brian in front of her. Even though it is still working hours.
