As Sylvie and Kage left for work the following morning, she found him unusually cold. He wasn't looking at her
face ams barely talked to her. He didn't look anything like the guy she'd cried to the previous day- the sone
that'd offered her a drink, showed concern. He looked as though, they've been strangers for quite sometime...
The few times she tried starting a conversation, he answered casually and let it run cold. Eventually, she got

It shouldn't bother her if he was being cold or not. But perhaps, she just missed the old him a little.
Hours later, Sylvie checked for Kage in his office. They were supposed to go out for a meeting, it's been more
than thirty minutes already, and he still hadn't reached out to her. Nefther had he called or demanded anything
of her that morning. It was strange. Reaching his office, his secretary told him he'd stepped out.
"Oh, do you know if he'll be back soon?" She asked, glancing at her wristwatch.
"Sorry, | don | don't. But it's been a while now since he left. Probably, he should be back soon." Bobbing her

"Thank you for coming over, Kage," she spoke softly, her head on his chest as he cradled her. "I know you're
busy, but I just.... I'm scared of doing this on my own.
"I understand. It's nothing." he sighed.
"You know, | really can't wait for the wedding. When we finally married and start living together, | think Hi feel

He said nothing.
"Can you stay around while | sleep? I'd love to spend more twith you when | wake up."
Kage nodded, kissing her forehead. Her eyes closed briefly.

He sat there in the living room with her, barely touching his pop and drinks, and definitely not paying any
attention to the movie. Instead, his mind dragged him to a certain lady, someone he wished he didn't have to
think of. How does he handle two pregnant women, by the way? This was definitely not the way he'd planned his
life at twenty-seven. Married - yes. But not expecting three babies in a year.
Perhaps, if only Marilyn was around, she'd have known what to do. She was always so good with words.
A small smile found his lips at the memories of her. He pushed them down, not wanting to think of her on a day
like this.

Sylvie's countenance was down for the rest of the day, not just because Kage didn't get back to the office, but
because he didn't take any of her calls and wouldn't get back to her either.
At the close of work, she was in the garage, heading toward her car when someone approached her. Oh, not just
someone Kage's aunts. Oh, God.
"There she is," Elizabeth chuckled, hastening her steps. "We've been waiting for you."
Sylvie tried to ignore them, hurrying to her car. She dipped her hand into her bag, frantically searching for her

She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. Her heart twisted in painful knots as she remembered what they said
to her back at the house.
The woman released her wrist, then glanced down at the floor. "With the look of things, you're still carrying those
b**rds around. Did you consider our words a joke to you, Sylvie? You thought busy people like us would come
together to simply have lunch with you?" Sylvie was silent, her eyes darting away.
