He's Afraid To Lose Me

She'd never been like this before

Nadine is pregnant, but Charlie is experiencing mood swings.

Look at Charlie's behavior now, Nadine is even weird when she sees Charlie who is too clingy like this.

"Charlie, you're not working?" Nadine asked, trying to get rid of Charlie's strong arms that held her possessively.

"Leave it like this for five minutes."

"But Charlie, I have to go to college."

"Should not."

"You have to work!"

"I have a lot of money, why work?"

Nadine lost the debate, indeed a Charlie Marchelino was born with true luck.

"You're really Charlie?"

Charlie just closed his eyes, snoring softly in the morning. Nadine was really annoyed.

***

"What's wrong Ryan?" Nadine asked confused by the behavior of her best friend who suddenly hugged her tightly as if she hadn't seen each other for a very long time

"Puffy, are you really going to drop out of college?"

Nadine let go of Ryan's arms and pushed Joanna's lover, looking at him confused.

"Who spreads rumors like that?"

"Joanna said you were pregnant."

Nadine nodded confirming the statement but also refuting Ryan, "I didn't drop out of college."

"There's no prohibition for university students to get pregnant while studying, right?" Nadine continued.

Once again, Ryan looked surprised by the justification Nadine said.

Ryan hugged Nadine again very tightly, making Nadine scream, "Oi Ryan!!!!"

And they both became the center of attention of the people walking in the corridor.

"Ekhem."

Knowing who cleared his throat, Ryan immediately let go of her arms and bowed nervously, "I-I just wished you congratulations, y-yes, congratulations. Congratulations Nadine."

Nadine who was surprised looked back, there was a handsome man in a black coat standing behind her with a murderous look as he looked at Ryan.

"Charlie?"

"C-congratulations to Sir Charlie too."

Nadine giggled seeing Ryan who was nervous, after Ryan went to his class, only now did Nadine get the death stare.

"W-why are you looking at me?"

"Not."

Charlie was so nonchalant after that, even walking ahead of him and not paying attention in class.

Nadine thinks is Charlie mad at her because Ryan hugged her?

Nadine had to do something to apologize, but Nadine didn't know how.

***

"I want a watermelon jam cake, Auntie."

After getting her order, Nadine bowed politely and cheerfully imagined how much Charlie would melt when she gave him this cake.

Ting!

Nadine stepped in after the elevator stopped on the 7th floor, where her apartment was.

However, the beautiful shadows at each step were gone. Her smile faded and she burst into tears of disappointment.

She saw Charlie kissing another woman on their doorstep.

Maybe Charlie was not aware of the existence of Nadine who had arrived at their apartment, but Nadine was totally aware.

Remember, Nadine is not a masochist who just walks away when her husband is caught cheating.

"Charlie, who are you, huh?!"

Hearing the interruption, the woman immediately broke the kiss.

"You bastard! Damn b***h! What are you doing to my husband?!"

Charlie just stared at Nadine who slapped the woman until her cheeks turned red. Regardless of the situation, even Nadine grabbed the woman's hair and hit the cake she just bought into the woman's face.

Really not relaxing.

"Akh!"

The woman continued to complain of pain, but strangely she didn't reply to Nadine's actions that attacked her with a blanket of anger.

Nadine with anger is really scary.

"Damn you b***h!"

"Do you know that I'm his wife? You tempt husbands! You just die, sob!"

The woman was silent and did not reply to Nadine's attack.

"Obviously Charlie's my husband but you kissed him!"

"You die!"

Charlie didn't want this to be the talk of people because they were arguing at the door of the apartment.

Knowing the fact that Nadine was pregnant, Charlie immediately hugged her and carried her into their apartment.

"Go Mina, you are an ignorant lowly."

***

Nadine was sobbing right now, she couldn't even stop throwing her weak smack on Charlie's chest.

"You're mean, Charlie."

"Stop crying, Nadine."

"I was going to apologize for making you angry but you kissed that b***h, I don't want to apologize anymore!"

Nadine in his arms is really Nadine who is adorable now.

He cupped his wife's round cheeks after his energy was drained from crying.

Charlie chuckled and kissed Nadine's face in exasperation.

"Why don't you clean my lips from that filth?"

Yes, Charlie was right.

"Where did he touch you?"

Charlie pointed to his lips, Nadine immediately took a sip of it roughly, hoping no more of the cheap lipstick tested on her husband's lips.

"She touched me here too," Charlie pointed at his bulging groin area.

"C-Charlie?! You really are evil!"

Charlie was just kidding, really.

Nadine made a sulk.

"Sob why are you evil!!!!"

"I'm joking, Nadine~"

"Lies."

"Yeah I lied, he didn't touch me, this is your asset."

Charlie looked at Nadine pleadingly, "You see for yourself your asset you want to pamper?"

Nadine blushed badly, Charlie kept teasing her this time.

"I remind you again I'm pregnant, Charlie!"

Charlie seemed to have to wait a few months later.

"If you use your hands-"

"No! I knew you would go too far."

***

"Tell me about Mina!" Nadine asked emotionally to David who had just come to his apartment.

"Why are you showing it all of a sudden, Nadine?" David asked, confused.

"That b***h came here yesterday. Truly shameless."

David giggled, the cute bear was jealous apparently.

"I told you, she's just Charlie's ex-girlfriend, his past."

"But I'm the future."

Nadine ushered David into her kitchen, then put the various kinds of food she had made for David on the pantry bench where David was sitting.

"Look, I can cook!"

David, who was confused by Nadine's behavior, only frowned in surprise.

"Tell Sis David, who do you think Mina and I are prettier-, ah I mean cuter?"

"Mina."

Nadine's eyes were teary and silent hearing that answer, knowing it would hurt Nadine, David twisted his words, "I mean, Mina is nothing compared to you, Nadine."

Nadine's smile broke again, her confidence was so high when she was praised, "Really?"

"Sweet or not, just be yourself, you don't need to be jealous of anyone. Trust Charlie, he will choose you no matter what your circumstances are."

"Even though I'm ugly?"

"Yeah, even though you're ugly."

David was nervous again at the sudden, "I-I mean, but you're never ugly."

"Even though I'm sick does Charlie still love me?"

"N-Nadine? Are you sick?"

Nadine immediately denied this, "I said 'even though'. Are you praying for me to get sick, Sis?"

"Yeah, it's you. I'm really worried."

***

Taking walks at night with Charlie was something to be happy about, she felt the warmth that made her cheeks blush.

"Aren't you craving?" Charlie asked as he saw the many food stands lined the edge of the garden.

Ah that's right, it crossed Nadine's mind that she wanted to eat a lot of food.

"Oh yeah Charlie, you're right. I'm in the mood for fried rice, ramen, chicken curry, bibimbap, mandu, ice cream, candied fruit, sushi, ba-balls,"

"Just tell me what you want."

Nadine just grinned widely, "But it's for our baby's nutrition too."

Suddenly Charlie crouched down in front of her, then patted her on the shoulder, "Come on!"

Indeed, Nadine is slow and insensitive.

"Come on, let me carry you to the apartment."

Nadine jumped on Charlie's back and rested her head on his husband's shoulder.

Under the light of the moon and the glittering garden, they were both busy chattering, no, to be precise the chatty Nadine and Charlie who listened occasionally responding to his wife's random conversation.

"Charlie?"

"Hmm?"

"Forget about Mina."

It was so random that Nadine also talked about Mina.

"I will impress you with our own story. Even though you don't love me completely, I will make sure that I can make you forget Mina as soon as possible."

Charlie still faithfully listens to Nadine who talks about her heart.

"I love you. Remember that. It's only me you need to remember!"

"What are you talking about?"

"I love you, Uncle!"

Behind his back, Charlie knew that Nadine was crying silently, he realized the crook of his neck was wet because Nadine was crying.

"I-I love you."

"Yes," was Charlie's reply, smiling happily.

But Charlie didn't know what Nadine was hiding in her heart.

'I love you, please remember me even though I'm gone.'
