Chapter 224 - Rumors And Edward's Arrival
Arriving at Shandra\'s house, Luna invited Bastian to stop by for a while to treat his bruised face and a few blisters on the corners of his lips. Currently, they are sitting on the sofa in the living room, while the owner of the house is already sleeping.
"It\'s so lonely, aren\'t your twins moving here with you?" Bastian asked, glancing around the very quiet room.
"Of course they come here, now they are sleeping with their babysitter," Luna replied as she put a container of ice water and a small cloth in it.
"What was the problem with your marriage with Ethan that you moved here?" Bastian asked.
"A lot," said Luna, then she sat down beside Bastian. The woman wrung out a cloth that had been dipped in ice water, then rubbed it over Bastian\'s face.
"Is there a third person?" Bastian whispered as he looked at Luna\'s face which was very close to him. He can even smell his ex-girlfriend\'s apple-scented perfume.
"I don\'t know, don\'t ask me questions about family matters, because I\'m trying to calm down," said Luna with a cold stare.
Bastian nodded in understanding. Luna again dipped the small cloth into the ice water, then squeezed and again compressed Bastian\'s cheeks and several other parts of his face which were slightly acne-prone.
"Are you still mad at me for what happened in the elevator?" Bastian asked.
"Since you\'ve helped me, then I have to forgive you," replied Luna still with a cold attitude.
Bastian smiled in relief, glanced at Luna, who focused on compressing his face. \'There is hope,\' he thought happily, especially since Luna had separated from Ethan.
"Finish," Luna moved away from her sitting position.
"Thank you," said Bastian.
"Hmm."
Drett ... dret
....
Luna\'s smartphone rings, an incoming call is seen from Ethan. She immediately answered.
"Hello, Ethan."
"Are the kids asleep?" Ethan asked over the phone, sounding weak.
"Yes," said Luna shortly.
"Then I\'ll go home first, greetings to Shandra and her husband," said Bastian as he got up from the sofa.
Luna who was still calling only responded with a nod, because she felt bad for Ethan. secretly despite being cold and still doesn\'t want to come back, the woman still keeps her husband\'s feelings.
"Whose voice was that?" asked Ethan over the phone.
"A friend of Arsha," answered Luna then got up from the sofa. "Ethan, I have to take a shower and want to rest soon, I\'m tired."
"Okay, if that is the case."
The phone line was off, Luna rushed to the room to clean up and was going to rest. That\'s how she calms down, by being busy and making herself tired, she will fall asleep quickly and don\'t think about her family problem anymore.

in the morning, Ethan immediately went to the office by driving his car. He no longer wears bodyguards and moves his bodyguards to the office, because Edward has been imprisoned.
While on the way, Ethan\'s eyes fell on an advertising poster that featured a harmonious portrait of Luna with a male model named Kevin. It was an advertisement about pregnant dairy milk products.
"In the past, we were going to do photos like that, but all failed because of my stupidity," Ethan grumbled regretfully. especially in the poster, Luna looks compatible with her partner\'s male model. This made Ethan feel jealous again.
When Ethan arrived at the office, several employees noticed him, then whispered to the other employees, but he was indifferent and kept walking into the elevator along with Andrew who had just arrived.
"Ethan, are you and Luna getting a divorce?" asked Andrew rather frantically.
"No," Ethan snapped.
"There\'s news you\'re going to divorce her," said Andrew.
Ethan frowned. "Where\'s the news? I have no intention of divorcing her. It\'s just, we\'re splitting up."
The elevator opens. Ethan and Andrew immediately went out to Ethan\'s room.
"I was reading on the internet. There was an article about your household that was not harmonious and even there it was rumored that you were going to divorce," Andrew said as he walked after Ethan.
"Show me the article," Ethan shouted, getting annoyed.
upon arrival in the room, Ethan immediately sat down in his oversized chair. Andrew, on the other hand, sat in the chair opposite his desk.
"This is the news." Andrew handed over his smartphone which already displayed an internet page that contained a discourse about Ethan and Luna.
Ethan took Andrew\'s cell phone and looked at the discourse.
___Returning to a career, a beautiful model named Febiola Aluna Ananta is even rumored to be divorced from her husband. Allegedly, there was a third person on each side. In fact, the two of them are currently separated from home and are rarely seen together again. regarding this news, Luna is still silent, reluctant to confirm at all.__
"This is rubbish news, Drew. I disapprove of the content of this discourse." Ethan returned Andrew\'s phone with a look of disapproval. he remembered some employees glancing at him and talking about him, perhaps because they had read the nonsense.
"Could it be that Luna already knew? Is she close to another man?" Andrew guessed.
"I don\'t know, she\'s always been with a male model who became her partner, but she said it was just a work partner." Ethan was getting restless.
Andrew was silent staring at Ethan who looked disappointed and disappointed every day, but he could only give him advice to stay patient, because maybe if he was in his position he would also feel very dizzy. every husband wants his wife to always be together in joy and sorrow, but Ethan must accept the fate of being shunned by Luna.
"You\'d better contact the publisher of the discourse and tell it to be removed because the rumors are completely untrue!" cried Ethan firmly.
"Ready."
Andrew got up from the chair and went to his room not far from Ethan and Nathalie\'s room.
Out of curiosity, Ethan contacted Luna and asked about the discourse on the internet earlier.
"Hello, honey, what are you doing?"
"I\'m having breakfast," Luna answered over the phone.
"Em, why was there news that we were going to divorce, did you know that?" asked Ethan doubtfully.
"No!"
"Oh, I thought you knew and would confirm."
"Leave it alone, it\'s just a gossip who is looking for new material," said Luna, sounding relaxed.
"Yeah, because we\'re not going to get a divorce, right?" Ethan confirmed.
"Of course not. Don\'t talk about things like this, I\'m very lazy and not in the mood."
"I\'m just scared, honey." Ethan exhaled roughly, again Luna didn\'t like the topic of his conversation.
"Never mind, don\'t be paranoid. I\'m not a selfish woman who wants to be separated just like that. I know I\'ve been bad these days because I\'m dizzy with the problems that exist. But divorce is not my choice because it will only cause misery for our kids. now I want to continue with breakfast!" Luna raved as if she didn\'t like being accused of asking for a divorce.
Tut... tut... tut.
The line was cut off, Ethan leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. The man was dizzy because he was always wrong in his wife\'s eyes.

at lunchtime, Ethan ate at the cafe alone, he was reluctant to be accompanied by anyone because he wanted to be alone.
After eating, Ethan went to the car to return to the office. he drove his car leisurely while listening to R City ft Adam Levine\'s song, Locked Away. The song seemed to remind him of Luna who began to stop giving love to him.
"Hey, brother."
Ethan turned his head when he heard someone talking from the back seat, he turned his head and immediately pulled the car over when he saw that person.
"Edward, how did you get here?"
Ethan glared at Edward who laughed sarcastically at him.
