Chapter 372 - One Week Later
Although he was allowed to go home, Dean had to rest completely because his leg was still injured so he had to use a cane to walk for the next few weeks until his leg cast could be removed.
Carlos visits Veronica more and more until he ignores Elsa or Vania. it seems that his naughty and asshole attitude has been ingrained in him so that no matter how good Vania is with her attitude, the man is still looking for a distraction to satisfy him when he is bored with his two wives.
Elsa, tired of Carlos's attitude, chose to remain silent and turned to look at Johan, who seemed to be more concerned about her or her child. this is far from Carlos who rarely pays attention to her and hasn't even touched her since the burning mattress incident.

This afternoon, Dean was with David in the study at his house discussing office matters because during his illness he worked from home. He sat in his oversized black chair while David sat in the chair opposite him at the large white desk.
"Is the financial situation still stable?" asked Dean, reading the documents. The man looks focused by wearing black-rimmed anti-radiation glasses, wearing a blue shirt and black basic pants, and combing his hair with a haircut but his beard looks thick because he hasn't had time to be grateful or wait for his wife to shave...
"Everything is under control, Dean. Our employees are doing very well even though you are not in the office," David replied with a warm smile.
Dean heaved a sigh of relief then put the documents on the table and took off his glasses. ."I hope you are patient because you have to go back and forth from the office to my house. You know my situation ... I have not been able to walk smoothly and my wife does not allow me to go to the office."
"Don't worry ... I will do whatever it takes to stabilize and advance the company," said David and then took the cup of coffee Susan had prepared on the desk in front of him.
"Since you're doing so well, I'll give you an extra," Dean said casually.
"Ah, I'm sincerely doing it because it's my duty..and the salary you've been giving so far is more than enough even to buy a pretty luxurious house," said David with a proud smile to himself because he felt he had a lot of money, but never forgot that Dean was a person who served him as a boss. As well as his friend.
"A new house? Who will you be staying with?" asked Dean, smiling seductively.
David took a deep breath then took a sip of the coffee and then said, "one day you'll know but don't be surprised."
Dean chuckled in his baritone voice. "You want to make me curious?"
"It's not like that... I don't want to publicize a relationship until it's confirmed that I will marry him. So I'll just let you know when I'm getting married."
"Yeah well it's up to you ..." Dean resigned, leaning his back against the shoulder of the chair.
Check...
Dean stared at the open door. He saw Bryana come with a plate of several types of fruit that had been peeled and neatly arranged and a jumbo glass of sweet orange juice. His wife looked sexy in a white knee-length dress with floral motifs with open sleeves and part of her hair back.
"She's coming," Dean whispered, smiling at Bryana.
David turned to welcome Bryana's arrival. "Good afternoon, ma'am."
"Good afternoon, David ..." Bryana returned the greeting with a friendly smile then placed the plates and glasses on the table.
"Since our business is finished, I'm leaving to go back to the office," said David as he stood up.
"Why hurry, don't you want to eat fruit with us?" Bryana asked, frowning.
"Eh, I'm full because I happened to have eaten at the cafe before I came here," replied David, smiling shyly.
"Let him go. .he's jealous because he doesn't have a partner," Dean exclaimed with a mocking smile. He pulled Bryana to sit on his lap and looked at David saying, "if you already have a partner, it's better to get married immediately. So that your days are no longer lonely. especially if the couple is very pretty."
"Don't let you become an old bachelor ..," Bryana exclaimed with a mocking smile.
"Eh, that's an easy problem. It will be resolved soon," said David, who couldn't act normal to Bryana. there is always a sense of awkwardness due to admiring her beauty and kindness too much. "Then I'm leaving now."
Dean and Bryana nodded, letting David leave the room.
"You brought a lot of fruit, then you brought juice too. Aren't you worried you'll get a stomach ache if you eat all that?" asked Dean, glancing at the plate and glass filled with the fruit menu.
Bryana sighed, felt Dean's jaw, which was starting to grow down, then brought their foreheads together. "If I come here with the fruit, it means I want to eat with you," she whispered then kissed her husband's lips gently.
"Okay, let's eat together. I'll feed you," Dean said then stretched out his hand to take a piece of mango with a fork, then fed it to Bryana's mouth.
Bryana eats the mango. "The taste is not too sweet. There is a little sour taste and the texture is not too soft..very fresh and addictive."
"You're not nauseous?" asked Dean.
Bryana shook her head. "I'm always hungry," she said.
"That means pebble isn't naughty." Dean smiled and kissed Bryana's cheek then continued to feed her with a piece of apple.
"If It's naughty, maybe I've been lying in bed all day like when I was pregnant with Aidyn," Bryana said while eating leisurely. she had to admit that her second son was quite stubborn but kind. .like a mix between her attitude of wanting to win and Dean who is always relentless and forgiving.
Dean smiled when he saw Bryana who was very hungrily eating mangoes or other foods since leaving the hospital. When she was pregnant with Aidyn, she almost didn't want to eat anything. .he thought, his child would be born with a calm and not stubborn attitude.

Elsewhere, Elsa is on her way to the studio for a photoshoot because she's officially back in modeling. .it all happened because Carlos no longer cared about her and instead asked Johan to always watch over her.
"Johan," Elsa called. She sat in the back seat while Johan in the front drove.
"Yes, ma'am," said Johan as he focused on driving.
"Haven't you had a girlfriend or wife all this time?" Elsa asked.
"No ... I'm not interested in dating because my job makes me not have time to date," replied Johan then said again. "But I was married once, and my wife cheated on me while I was focused on working as a bodyguard."
Elsa nodded in understanding and asked again, "do you have children?"
"No," said John.
Elsa put a smile on her lips as if relieved by the fact she heard about Johan. 'He doesn't have kids, but he loves Brandon, takes care of me, and ... His posture is well proportioned, his face is handsome. I can make it as..."
The woman began to fantasize about leaving her husband and turning to her bodyguard who seemed like a hot daddy....
