furious at John And Rachel

"John, why are you silent? Where is your wife?" Jannet wondered with a probing look.

"she left me, Mom," John answered with a crook of his face, unable to hide the mess of his marriage anymore. "It's all my fault...I went to New York to look for her but she hid from me. My people have tried to help me look for it but still can't find it. They had met her brother but he ran away….that means he and his sister don't want to see me anymore."

"Why, can this kind of chaos occur? What big mistake did you do that your patient and innocent wife finally chose to leave you?" Jannet wondered impatiently.

"I don't know, maybe she doesn't feel happy with me because I've been too busy working lately," John replied lying.

Jannet smiled sarcastically. "Are you trying to lie to me? It is impossible for your wife who is very kind, innocent, and patient to leave you just because she feels that she is not being cared for? There was no way she would dare to do this if her heart was truly unharmed….there must be a very fatal mistake that you made so that she chose to leave you and all the luxuries you had given her!"

John fell silent with his head down, thinking about what to tell his mother.

"It is impossible for a wife who is very gentle and loves her husband very much, to leave her husband just because of lack of attention!" said Jannet in surprise. "It's only been a few months since you guys got married and had a honeymoon... But why did it have to be like this..why is a wife who you have raised to be an honorable woman willing to leave you and leave her honorary titles. It must be because you hurt her so much. What exactly have you done to her?"

"I cheated on her," said John.

"What?"

"I cheated on ... I can't control myself when I see a very attractive girl," John explained without wanting to bring up Rachel's name, because he thought that if he wasn't destined to get back together with Phoebe, then he would choose to be with Rachel. .oh, Rachel just as a backup.

"You are stupid!" cried Jannet furiously and then stood up. "What did you get from that girl when you got Phoebe as the perfect wife who couldn't possibly betray you or hurt you..you are so stupid... You ruined your relationship with her just because you couldn't stop yourself from liking more attractive girls. If you continue to act like this, then you will never be satisfied with one woman! No wonder your wife chose to leave rather than stay, her heart is hurt and she doesn't care about the luxury you give her because what she needs are your love and loyalty!"

"I know ... I know I was wrong, Mom...I will try to fix my mistake, but she did not give me a chance and instead left," said John.

Jannet let out a shaky breath, glaring hatefully at John who was acting so dishonorably as her proud son. She was utterly disappointed, imagining that she would soon weigh in on a grandchild when her son was married, but that vision never came true. Hmm, she didn't know that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, but if she knew it would also be dangerous because she could snatch the baby when it was born.

"I don't want to know, you can never marry another girl. What I want to be my daughter-in-law is Phoebe, no one can replace her!" She shouted sternly and then left the room without waiting for John's response.

John fell silent with his head still down, regretting what had happened. His mother's words made him regret that he had angered Phoebe and left.

'I miss her so much and somehow my life is meaningless without her,' he thought in pain.

Drett... Drettt....

John reached into his jacket for his ringing cell phone. He saw an incoming call from Rachel and then answered it,

"Hello."

"Honey, are you in Ohio yet?" Rachel asked over the phone.

"Yeah, I'm already at the office and immediately got insults from my mother," John replied languidly.

"Oh my God, does she already know everything?"

"Yes, I've admitted about my marriage mess, but I didn't mention your name at all. She doesn't know about our affair," John explained, massaging his dizzy head. "When are you going to catch up with me? I can't seem to live my days alone. It feels so unfair when I'm here alone and you're there with your boyfriend."

"You don't have to worry because I've arranged a schedule to come there. I already have a good reason so that my parents and my boyfriend don't suspect anything."

"Yeah, of course, you have to think about it so that we can continue to be together because you must always be there for me….because the mess I'm getting right now is because you once appeared in front of me and made me fall in love again," said John languidly, as if he had no zest for life. 'At least even though I can't get love and affection from Phoebe, I can get it from Rachel while waiting to hear from my people who are still looking for Phoebe,' he thought.

"You take it easy, I will come and always be there for you...now I have to do something," Rachel said, sounding so sweet.

John just smiled faintly then hung up the phone. He sighed, turning to stare at the pile of documents on his desk that he had to check or sign, making him feel even more bored and irritated.

New York...

Phoebe was wiping the living room table while humming softly singing Taylor Swift's song, entitled Begin Again.

"Phoebe..."

Phoebe looked back, then stood up, staring at the caller Rachel who had just entered the living room. She glared at the girl, unable to hide her hatred for her.

"What do you need to call me?" She asked.

"I just wanted to let you know that John is back in Ohio. she already told his mother that you left him," Rachel said sarcastically, crossing her arms at Phoebe, looking down slightly because she was shorter.."You have to remember, when he dares to tell his mother about your problems, it means he is no longer after you, he has dared to decide to continue to keep your marriage or not..."

"I don't care cause I'll never want to go back to him, he's just like a bitch in my eyes!" said Phoebe curtly, then turned to face the table again, to get on with her work.

Rachel smiled sarcastically, looking at Phoebe who was acting strong and ignoring her.

"Go, for me, my relationship with John is over, it's up to you to take him away, he's not mine anymore," said Phoebe firmly, even though her heart hurt to give her husband to that crazy girl.

"I'll do it, you'll see," Rachel said, nodding her head. "But you have to remember, being separated from him doesn't mean your livelihood with him and his family will end. You're pregnant, you're carrying his child..and if his family finds out, they will surely be waiting for the child, not waiting for you. They're going to take the child to all costs, and I think they're going to make it because they have a lot of money to pay a lawyer to get the child."

For a moment Phoebe was silent with feelings of irritation, hatred, and also worry. The image of giving up the baby to John and then being raised by Rachel who would become John's wife began to surface in her mind, making her shudder at the thought of how the baby would be treated by the very cunning and unfeeling Rachel.

"No, that can't happen!"
