Chapter 18

Aurora's POV
“Is this really the cake shop you meant?”
I was already in front of the cake shop. The cake shop that Dante said turned out to be very spacious, as seen from the parking lot.
“Yes, that's right.”
Wow, I was amazed to see what I saw. This shop is very big and I thought I would be confused about choosing the cake I wanted.
One of the female employees of the cake shop approached me with a charming smile. “Welcome, ma'am. Can I help you?”
“Hm, I want to see first. Yesterday, I tasted the cakes from this shop, and I think they are all delicious.” Honestly, I was confused about choosing the cakes there.
“The list of cake choices here is there, ma'am. There are also testers for you to try.”
I walked following the female employee's steps and I saw that there were hundreds of cakes there. Wow, I thought this was amazing. Why did I never know there was a big cake shop here? Ah, isn't it far enough to walk around?
I was confused about choosing a cake, especially since her mouth didn't want to stop tasting the cake testers there. I could be full before buying a cake from here.
“I want this peanut cake, and also a strawberry cake, okay? If I order from home, is it possible?” I think I will be a regular customer of this cake shop.
“Yes, ma’am. We also serve online orders and here is a number that can be contacted so later you can order our cakes at that number.”
I received an ID card from the cake shop, and later, I could order from home if I wanted to buy the cake from home. “Thank you very much, yes?”
“You’re welcome, ma’am. We are happy to serve you.”
I went home carrying the cake I wanted. Actually, there were many cakes that I wanted, but it was impossible to finish them all in one go.
When I got home I immediately opened the cake that I had bought earlier.
“You should take a shower or at least wash your hands before you eat after going out,” said Dante.
I squinted. Even though I wanted to eat right away. With an annoyed snort, I answered, “Yes.”
“Aurora!”
“What else is there?” I, who was still upset, didn't want to hear Dante talk more. I thought he was being very talkative.
"Are you mad that I just scolded you? You can be mad or upset with me. But I just want you to eat with clean hands. You're pregnant with triplets, and what if there are germs or bacteria on your hands that go into your stomach?"
I was silent for a moment. What Dante said was true. I rarely washed my hands after coming from outside and immediately ate so I often had diarrhea. He actually cared about me and my future children. "Yes, I apologize."
This time my tone of voice was a little lower than before. I realized that I was wrong so I changed my clothes and washed my hands. I rubbed my stomach and said softly, "Your father really cares about you."
I returned to the dining table wearing clean clothes and my hands were also clean. I ate the cake I bought.
"Mom, the cake from yesterday is still there," said the servant.
As the cake bought by Dante was still there. "Eat! What do you think?"
“This is indeed delicious.”
I was still enjoying the food then Dante said goodbye to go to his office. He also kissed my forehead and then rubbed my stomach. He is so gentle now.
“Hey, is your boss being that gentle?” I asked out of curiosity.
“It used to be like that with Miss Molly, ma'am. But not as gentle as with you,” the servant replied. If compared to Molly, honestly, I am jealous, but what can I do?
When I was full the servant said that there was a guest for you. I went straight to the front and saw Molly here.
“Molly, are you coming? Come in!”
I invited my sister into the living room. I also bought the cake I bought earlier. “I'm glad you came, Molly.”
“So you bought this cake, Aurora?” She asked.
I frowned. “Yes, it's really delicious. I like it.”
“Actually, Dante used to like to buy me this cake too, but I didn't like it,” said Molly.
I smiled thinly. So Dante brought me to this cake shop because it had been his regular since he was still with Molly.
"Oh yeah? It's delicious and I like it. Oh yeah, what brought you here? You must miss me, huh?" I teased her. I did miss her because we were usually always together at home but things changed 180 degrees after she left.
"I want to say goodbye to you, Aurora. I want to go back to my place of business," said Molly.
I felt sad even though I just met her again yesterday and now she was going back again. "Well, why so fast? Even though …”
Before I could answer, Molly cut me off. “It’s okay, Aurora. I really have to go back. I hope you’re always happy with Dante, okay? I don’t want you to be sad.”
I hugged her. I really felt sad because she was leaving again. Even though she left by saying goodbye, I really didn’t want to be separated from her. “I actually didn’t want you to go, Molly. But I also couldn’t hold you back. Thank you for coming back. You have to come when I give birth to my triplets, okay?”
“Are you pregnant with triplets?” Molly looked surprised.
“Yes, I checked yesterday after leaving my mother’s house. I just found out yesterday too.” I felt proud to say this to my sister.
“I’m happy to hear that. I hope your pregnancy is going well. Then I’ll take my leave first.”
I escorted Molly to the front of the house and didn’t forget to give her an intact cake as a souvenir. I was letting go of someone I loved. But for some reason, she didn’t seem like the person I knew all this time. Was it just me? Because I also haven't seen her for a few weeks.
