Even when Viona's pregnancy was now two months old, her appetite was still unpredictable. Sometimes, she would always get hungry and she wanted to keep eating. On the other day, she would suddenly lose all of her appetites and she refused to eat any dish made by the chef at her house.

Seeing that, Fernando got worried because he was afraid she would not be able to fulfill her nutritional needs. Erick, who was recommended by William as Viona's private doctor, had asked Fernando to continue monitoring Viona's diet so that her baby would get plenty of nutritional intakes. Even though the weight of the fetus in Viona was growing well, Fernando still worried about her condition if she kept behaving this way and didn't want to regularly eat.

​​

"Why don't you try this, Babe?"

"What about this one?"

"You don't want to try this one too?"

"Come on! You are such a difficult mother. My baby hasn't eaten anything yet," Fernando repeatedly offered various menus available on the table to Viona, but his wife rejected all of them.

She only shook her head slowly and drank plain water without touching the food on the table. All the food was made with fresh ingredients and cooked with special techniques so that the nutritional and vitamin content in the food ingredients was not reduced. But Viona refused to even try it and she insisted that she was still full. Fernando knew well that the last thing she ate was the caviar at a restaurant after buying a sleeping pillow at a baby equipment shop that Fernando rented for a day.

"I think you don't have to force her if she doesn't want to eat, Sir," Teddy said softly, trying to calm Fernando who kept asking Viona to eat.

"But my wife hasn't eaten anything, Teddy," Fernando replied in a half-whisper.

"I'm afraid that if you keep forcing her to eat, she will be angry later. Do you remember the incident three days ago where Madam got angry?" Teddy whispered, trying to remind Fernando of the moment when Viona was angry at his master.

Fernando fell silent, he then looked back at Viona who was staring at some food without showing any readable mood. She looked like she was thinking about something and her gaze was so out of focus. No one seemed to know what she was thinking. Fernando did not dare to call her out. He just sat beside Viona while enjoying his breakfast without appetite.

"I want to stay at Jenny and Amina's place," said Viona suddenly.

Cough

Cough

Fernando almost choked hearing what his wife just said.

"Daddy...Eat slowly!" warned Viona while she handed a glass of water to her husband, staring at him without even blinking.

He received the glass quickly and emptied it all to relieve his cough.

"Thank you, Mommy," Fernando said with a smile, he didn't show any shocking expression.

"Don't try to tease me now, I don't like it!" Viona fiercely said and she looked away from Fernando who was staring at her.

Gulp

"What did I do wrong? Why are you mad at me now?" Fernando said to himself.

"We don't have a baby yet, why do you act like a baby right now?" she said coldly.

"What does that mean? I don't understand, Mommy?" Fernando replied pitifully as he tried to hold her hand.

"I'm bored at home, I want to go with Jenny and Amina to see their muffin shop. I'm bored at Daddy's house!!!" Viona screamed in an annoying voice as she got up from her chair quickly and she stood in front of Fernando to show that she was sulking.

"Mommy...Are you alright?" he asked in shock when he saw Viona suddenly got angry.

"Never mind…I'm too lazy to talk to you!!" she replied quickly and left the dining table to go to the family room, leaving Fernando with Teddy.

Fernando got even more confused and he could only stay silent when he watched his wife suddenly get angry. He then turned to the butler of his house with a look full of question marks.

"Did I say something wrong, Teddy?" asked Fernando quietly.

"I don't think so, Sir. It seems that you only spoke a few sentences earlier," Teddy replied confusedly as he swallowed his saliva when he saw Viona's explosive anger.

"Then, why is my wife like that?" he asked again.

Teddy also fell silent because he could not answer Fernando's question, he had no idea why his madam got angry just now, even when no one seemed to trigger her anger from the morning. The only thing he could think of was the time when Fernando offered a variety of foods that were already available on the table to Viona. That might make her feel uneasy.

Not wanting to waste more time, Fernando left for the office without saying goodbye to Viona because he had a meeting with an important client this morning. He didn't want to make Viona get angrier than now so he asked Teddy to report Viona's situation to him every thirty minutes. Teddy only nodded slowly in response to the order given by the master. Viona, who was standing by the mirror in her room, could see how Fernando went to the office by car with several of his bodyguards.

She raised one of her eyebrows because she saw Fernando just leave the house without saying goodbye to her as usual.

"Is it because I no longer look attractive to you, Fernando?" she said softly as she continued to stare at Fernando's car, which was driving farther away from the mansion.

"Are you getting back to the way you used to be? Someone who likes lots of sexy and beautiful women?" she added slowly while looking at herself in the mirror, her stomach already looked a little more visible even though it was not big enough and no one would notice it when she wore loose clothes.

However, people who already knew she got pregnant could see the difference and changes in her body instantly. After standing in front of the mirror for a long time, Viona finally walked slowly to the room where her clean clothes were stored. She then changed her clothes, she picked jeans and a t-shirt. She also added a denim jacket to compliment her looks and because the air outside was quite cold. She could still wear jeans even when the bump on her stomach was a bit big. Another reason was that she lost weight during her first two months of pregnancy.

However, Erick said that the weight of the fetus was still a healthy and normal size. Viona could still use her old clothes, including the jeans she used to wear for going out or when she came home from work. Because it was still early in the morning, several of the servants looked busy with their respective jobs, including Teddy who was busy arranging some workers that Fernando had recruited to tidy up one of the rooms on the second floor to prepare the baby's room. Viona who already changed into casual clothes and wore a hat looked exactly like some of those workers, especially when she hid her long hair inside her hat.

With that look, Viona was able to blend in with ten people who were walking around the house while carrying some heavy boxes. She knew that it was not possible to walk to the front gate, she finally sat in the back of the worker's truck to hitch a ride out of her mansion so that she wouldn't be caught by her bodyguards who were guarding the front gate.

"I just need fresh air," Viona said quietly as she adjusted her seat among the piles of cardboard boxes in the workers' truck.

Thirty minutes later, the voices of the workers were heard when they returned to their car. They had finished setting up the rooms on the second floor and they were ready to go to other places.

"Thank you for your help, gentlemen," Teddy's voice was heard clearly beside the truck.

Viona then hid her body even tighter among the piles of boxes so that Teddy and the other workers who were standing by the truck wouldn't see her.

"What are you guys talking about outside? Why don't you start driving? I feel sore just sitting here like this," she mumbled inside her heart while massaging her legs which felt tighter because she had been folding her legs behind the cardboard.

When she was about to straighten her legs, Viona suddenly heard the sound of the truck's door being opened, she quickly canceled her intention. It turned out that the workers were closing the door to the box from the outside and soon the car left Fernando's mansion. Viona was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief because no one checked into the truck's box. She was finally able to straighten her legs which were aching so much now.

"Being inside a truck's box like this among the piles of boxes reminds me of what happened seven years ago," Viona said quietly while staring at the inside of the truck that looked dark.

Seven years ago she was kidnapped by two men who ordered Natasya so that she could take her out of the city. A smile appeared on her face, it was both such a dark and terrifying memory for her. But now, She could look back without feeling sad.

"I'm sorry Fernando, I have to do this. I'm just too tired of being in the house. At least, let me feel the activity outside like everyone else," Viona added slowly while staring at her cell phone screen showing her wedding photo with Fernando, she was tired of being in the house without doing any activity because all her needs had been prepared by the servants.

She suddenly felt sleepy and slowly closed her eyes while waiting for the truck to stop, she intended to sneak out when the car stopped at its next destination.

"Don't be naughty, champ, mommy will take you out for a while alone without your very annoying daddy," Viona said softly while feeling her stomach before finally falling asleep.
