Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard

Chapter 134 - Prepare A Surprise

Monica sat in the chair opposite Dean's desk. She looked at Dean who looked annoyed. "What's going on? What has Kareen done?"

"I'm just sick of her attitude that always badmouths Bryana. did she forget that Bryana is the owner of this company, Bryana was the one who accepted her here until she was liked by Raymond, then lived in our house? I feel like she's getting more and more clueless." Dean explained with a look so cold and curt.

Monica sighed, then leaned her body on the shoulder of the black chair. "The most important thing is that you and Bryana's relationship remains peaceful, it was a slap to make her realize that there is no point in badmouthing Bryana in front of you continuously. don't you understand Bryana as your wife better than what Kareen says, right?"

"Of course," Dean exclaimed. I feel bad for Bryana if I carry the burden of problems that should be my business. Moreover, she is pregnant and only healthy after the beginning of pregnancy which makes her helpless," he continued, remembering when Bryana had to undergo treatment at home when she was only two months pregnant.

"What business do you mean?" she asked.

"Sofia is still being visited by Gustave. Sofia told Bryana, it meant being a burden on Bryana's mind. I'll call Samuel to ask if Sofia's condition is still being visited by Gustave or not," Dean explained then took his smartphone that was on the table and tried to call Samuel.

when the time was 11:15 am, Bryana was busy making a birthday cake for Dean. She was still wearing the dress she had been wearing since this morning but was wearing a red apron so the dress wouldn't get dirty. the pregnant woman mixed all the main ingredients of the cake into a bowl, then stirred it with a cake mixer.

"Mom what did you do?" asked Calvin who had just come from school and went straight to the kitchen to get some cold water in the fridge.

"Mommy is making a cake for Dad because it turns out that today is daddy's birthday," Bryana replied, watching the mixer machine stir all the ingredients until they are well mixed.

Calvin, who was drinking, immediately stopped drinking. "Wow, dad's birthday. I have to buy a gift for him!"

"You ask aunty Lauren and uncle Louis to buy gifts at the mall. Mommy can't escort because have to cook a lot for our dinner together," Bryana exclaimed.

Calvin nodded and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen until he met Sofia who had changed into a long dress with no cloth on her arms. "Sofia, today is daddy's birthday. Let's get ready to go to the mall to buy gifts!"

Sofia was silent for a moment and remembered that every year on her father's birthday, she never gave gifts in the form of objects, but instead made a cake with her grandmother.

"Ah, I don't want to buy gifts," Sofia said then glanced at her mother who was busy in the kitchen. "I just want to help mommy."

"Then I'll just make a present myself, I lazy to go to the mall," Calvin replied and then walked away from Sofia, while Sofia went straight to the kitchen to help her mother who was making a cake.

"Mom, can I help you?" Sofia asked.

"Hi, sweetheart." Bryana smiled looking down at Sofia who was now standing beside her. "You can help mommy decorate the cake when it's finished baking because mom will cook another menu," Bryana exclaimed.

Sofia nodded and sat on a chair while looking at her mother who was putting cookie dough into a circular mold, then put it in the oven that had been turned on and made sure the temperature was right.

"What color cream does dad usually like for a cake blanket?" asked Bryana while preparing the ingredients for the cream.

"Daddy likes the taste of chocolate, Mom. I used to make it with my grandma often," Sofia explained.

"Oh really?"

"Yes. Every birthday, I am with a grandma who always prepares a cake. Because if you buy it, the price is expensive," Sofia explained again.

Bryana nodded in understanding and imagined that Dean's life before knowing her was indeed very frugal, so Sofia also became frugal and independent because of her habits in a mediocre economic condition.

until at five o'clock in the afternoon, Bryana had finished preparing all the food menus for dinner tonight with the help of Susan and other waiters. She has also asked several bodyguards and other workers at her house to help her decorate the garden beside the house as beautifully as possible for dinner with Dean and her two children.

"Um, I better call Dean. I have to make sure he doesn't come home too late," Bryana muttered as she reached into her dress pocket for her smartphone. She tried to call Dean several times before connecting.

"Hello, honey," said Bryana.

"Hello, honey. What's wrong?" asked Dean over the phone?

"Don't come home too late."

"No, maybe I'll be home before seven o'clock."

"Okay then, I'm waiting for you," said Bryana then hung up the phone.

Bryana smiled contentedly and put her smartphone back into her dress pocket. She immediately took off her apron and put it on the shoulder of the chair while looking at the food she had cooked satisfied. The food consisted of steak, crispy fried chicken, satay, dessert, and of course a birthday cake that had been decorated with Sofia with number 28 candles ready to be lit.

"Susan, later please put all this on the table that is available in the garden next to the house, because I have to prepare now before Dean comes home," Bryana said casually.

"Okay, ma'am," replied Susan.

Bryana also walked to the room bypassing the living room where she met Calvin and Sofia who already looked neat wearing more classy clothes. Calvin wore black jeans combined with a white shirt with a bowl-like hairstyle, while Sofia wore a knee-length red dress and let her hair flow beautifully by wearing a small hairpin accessory decorated with a miniature white butterfly.

"Ah, you guys are ready. Mommy hasn't even showered yet," Bryana muttered, smiling smugly at Calvin and Sofia.

"Then mommy takes a quick shower. Let me help Auntie Susan to prepare dinner," said Calvin.

"No need, you guys just wait there. Then the food will spill if you bring it," said Bryana. "Well, mommy wants to go to the room first. Mommy has to be as attractive as you guys."

"Yes, Mom."

Bryana immediately went to the room to clean up while Calvin and Sofia saw the maids putting the food on the table located in the garden which had been decorated with hanging colored lamps and a balloon in the shape of letters to form the words "HBD Daddy" attached to ita support pole in front of a fairly large ornamental plant with small white flowers.

In the room, Bryana had finished taking a shower and was wearing black lacy lingerie, then wearing a pink knee-length dress and pinning some of her hair back. she also polished her face with thick make-up and sprayed blossom-scented perfume on her body.

"I hope he likes the surprise I gave him," Bryana muttered with a smile imagining how Dean would look when he saw the surprise she had prepared.
