Chapter 24 - Conscience

The smile plastered on Juni's face didn't disappear even when he stepped into his house at 10:45pm and saw his wife and son cuddling up against each other on their matrimonial bed, he smiled at the loving and peaceful posture they were in "I guess she didn't wait up, surprisingly" ..what a drag, this was the first time she would do that but the day's events wearied him out of thinking about it as she quickly took a shower, dressed in comfortable clothes and joined his family on the bed.as he breathed in her scent ,his eyes closing ,he smiled and said "I love you"

Morning came a bit early for Juni as he groaned when he felt a pair of hands waking him up followed by Carmen Cartel's amazing voice "babe, you need to wake up if you are honestly thinking of getting to work early" ..he turned on his side as he looked up at his ever beautiful wife, "No good morning?" ..She sighed as she smiled slowly and said "Good Morning ,Juni"He frowned slightly at that "No endearments?" She chuckled "you are such a baby",Juni smiled as he corrected her "I'm your baby"

"Really?" she questioned

"Always babe, always" he said as he sat up and pulled her down to him to kiss her .the electricity of their lips touching was not oblivious to either of them as they moaned ,yeah it's been a while, Juni thought as she moved to straddle him ,as the kiss got more heated and was turning to a full blown make out, she slightly tipped him back slowly and he looked up at her in confusion until she directed his eyes to the reason of her interruption, pointing her hand at a sleeping Derek on the bed right beside them, she said "Not with him, here babe"

He dropped his head into his pillow as she let go of her and she stood up" I will go make you coffee" she said and chuckled on her way down the stairs when she heard him say "YOU ARE NO FUN!!" Juni sighed to himself as he sat up and kissed his sleeping son's head "Morning, little man" then stood up to go take his bath. The alarm clocked on the bed side beeped 7am

Twenty minutes later, Juni was refreshed and dressed and went downstairs to meet his wife who was done brewing coffee and was now making pancakes "Oh wow, perfect"he

She smiled lovingly at him "you want some?"

"Of course "he said as he sat at the kitchen counter and sipped his coffee

"Aren't you going to be late ?"She asked

"Not really ,I'm not heading to work straight anyways "He answered

"Oh, where are you going then ?Mr. Cartel" she asked again coyly though

He smiled as he said "A police station"

"Wait, what?!" she almost yelled but was calm as Juni proceeded to explain Angela's predicament and that he was going to help Angela get her toxic ex out of her life but leaving himself confused as he let out the part that he had promised to do that while having Dinner at the young author's place. He just didn't think it was right to do that.

Carmen ,as a mother understood and even gave Juni some advice as he headed out.

"You should have told her,you know? Why do you feel guilty about it so much?" His conscience whispered to him but he just sighed and drove out the driveway ,he didn't know why either

He thought about calling Mark to follow him but then he thought otherwise thinking that Angela might not want so much of her business known to others ,as he made a right turn

He texted her

"I'm on my way, be ready to go."
