Chapter 326 - Welcome Them
"Soon, Raymond and Monica will arrive. You'd better take a quick shower," Bryana said, sitting back down and grabbing Aidyn from Dean.
Dean sighed, looking up at the ceiling. "Are they coming yet?"
"Yes. Mom has helped Susan prepare breakfast for them."
"Mommy is like that when guests or relatives come. She has been busy preparing everything to welcome them." Dean looked back at Aidyn and Bryana. "Could it be that we're going to talk about Alex straight away to Raymond!?"
"Oh of course not. I don't want to make things uncomfortable because of that conversation. We'll tell him another time." Bryana got out of bed and asked Aidyn to come out of the room. She turned to look at Dean who was still lazing on the bed.
"Hurry up and take a shower before they arrive. Anyway, you should join us for breakfast," Bryana exclaimed.
Dean just nodded while Bryana immediately came out and immediately asked Aidyn to enjoy the cool morning air while drinking green tea near the ornamental fish pond located in the garden beside the house.

Elsa had just returned home being escorted by Carlos. She immediately entered the house without allowing Carlos to stop by because she did not want to be the subject of gossip from neighbors and the paparazzi who sometimes followed her.
When she entered the house, Elsa saw Haikal had woken up and was playing on the sofa with Anna. Her son saw her arrival but did not welcome her by asking to be carried or just calling her.
"Honey... you're up so early," said Elsa, reaching for Haikal. She turned to look at Anna. "Was he cranky last night?" She asked.
"No, Mrs," answered Anna.
"That's good then. You better pack because we're moving to a more comfortable apartment," Elsa exclaimed because she didn't want to be the neighbor's gossip about her divorce from Alex.
"But, Mrs... What if Mr. Alex comes home?" asked Anna with an uncomfortable look.
"Let him live here alone. You will still be Haikal's nanny, and Sinta will also remain my maid. In our apartment, it will be more comfortable and Alex will not come to take Haikal," Elsa explained casually then walked to her room with her son.
Anna sighed. Feeling sorry for Alex who will be disappointed when he returns from the hospital, he can't even see Haikal anymore. She couldn't do anything but follow Elsa's orders as the employer, but she hoped that Alex would find out about their move to the apartment.

Samuel stopped the car he was driving right in Bryana's yard. He immediately descended along with Franky, Raymond, and Monica who rushed into the house. They were greeted by Bryana who called them from the garden.
"Monica!"
Monica turned to look at Bryana who was walking in a hurry but was a bit wobbly while carrying Aidyn. She smiled at her sister-in-law and nephew.
"Finally... I finally saw this little brat again!" Monica immediately embraced Bryana and Aidyn for a moment. "I miss you guys so much!"
"Me too!" Bryana looked at Monica's face which was getting glowing but a bit chubby then glanced at her bulging belly. "Your belly is big. Do you think there is a princess or a prince in there?"
"Not yet known. But Raymond wants a princess." Monica glanced at Raymond.
"Actually I gave up. The most important thing is the health of mommy and baby." Raymond looked at Bryana intensely and saw that her hands were bandaged, her feet were bandaged and her face was still slightly bruised. He felt the bruise. "Is it because of that incident?"
"Um yes. But I'm fine. It's just a bruise because I was trying to defend myself. Isn't that the right thing to do?" Bryana shows that she is no longer sad.
"But I don't like my sister being treated like that. Later I will ask Dean to take me to meet the man named Fin," Raymond exclaimed with a sad look stroking Bryana's hair. He showed affection as an only sister.
"Eh, we should go in. You must be tired and hungry. Mommy has prepared a special breakfast for you," said Bryana, changing the subject.
"Let me carry Aidyn," Monica shouted.
"No .... no, let me carry him. I'm afraid if you carry him, your belly will be pinched," said Raymond immediately grabbing Aidyn from Bryana's arms.
"Dwah...dha," said Aidyn look at Raymond.
"Wow...!" Suddenly Aidyn called out to Raymond as she had called her father. He looked up at Raymond who looked foreign to him but was as stout as his father. Ah, he must have forgotten because the last time we saw him, he was only a few weeks old.
"It's not a daddy, it's uncle," Bryana told.
"Call dada is okay too," said Raymond smiling at Aidyn. "You're so handsome, son. Your eyes, just like grandpa."
They immediately entered the house and were immediately greeted by Calvin and Sofia who was already neatly going to school. The atmosphere was very peaceful that morning followed by breakfast together talking about each other's experiences during not seeing each other for several months.
Now they were chatting in the living room while the kids had left for school and Aidyn was sleeping in the bedroom.
"So you're going to move after your child is born?" asked Dean, neatly dressed in a gray suit.
"Yes. Maybe in the next month, I will return to London to finish important business there. I will be back when Monica will give birth," replied Raymond who sat back on the sofa embracing Monica from the side.
Bryana sighed, resting her head on Dean's shoulder. "I don't know why there is a problem or no, husbands always leave their wives who are heavily pregnant. Wouldn't it be better if you stayed here? Work from here so that you can keep Monica company?"
"This is an important matter, Jill. Because I opened a branch in Bandung. I can't possibly work for your company," said Raymond.
"This is a sophisticated era. Working remotely is already possible by using technology while your trusted people there can also carry out your orders properly," said Bryana who didn't want Monica to have the same fate as her. Almost gave birth, even left by a frustrated Dean.
"We won't be able to turn back time. Use the best time possible to show our care for your partner and family. Money can be found, and I'm sure you won't go bankrupt if you stay here," Dean said, remembering how when he left, it made Bryana stressed...
Raymond glanced at Monica who had been listening silently for a long time. "Honey, will you mind if I go?" he asked.
"Eh ... It's all up to you," replied Monica with a resigned look.
"Well, it's hard she doesn't want to be left behind. Better to accompany her until she gives birth. Don't let her be stressed like me," said Bryana, smiling at Monica.
Raymond sighed, then tightened his grip on Monica. "Okay then. I will stay in Jakarta waiting for my baby to be born," he said.
"That's right. You live here and this house feels more and more crowded with us," said Dean.
"But I also want to go to Bandung," said Monica.
"Then the day after tomorrow we will also go to Bandung. We happen to have a villa there," said Dean, glancing at Bryana who immediately nodded in agreement.. They plan an unexpected vacation while dispelling the dark shadows of yesterday's events by carving a beautiful image of their togetherness and family peace.
