WIDOW IN MY BED

This week is the birthday of Amanda’s niece, Aleara La Howard, a sweet girl commonly called Lea. She is the first daughter of Steve La Howard and his wife, Kellani La Howard. The event was held at one of the star hotels with Frozen-themed decorations and an ice palace. It’s been a family tradition where Amanda grew up if Howard couldn’t make a regular show.

And this isn’t the first time Matt’s seen Amanda sad and moody at a party that’s supposed to be happy, okay? Let’s line up a party with a lot of kids.

And then, every time she came home from the party, Amanda would stand on the balcony looking up at the ceiling, whatever she was thinking about. Matt must have been sorrowful to see his constantly moody wife.

Matt asked, “What’s the matter, honey?” trying to feed Amanda cake, but she was not in the mood.

Amanda sighed and moved to safety by leaning into the chest of her husband’s field.

“It’s okay, sugar.”

“You’re always like this every time we go to an event like this. You remember we can’t hide each other’s problems?” Matt said, changing his position to hug Amanda. “Huh… If we knew it would be like this, we’d better stay home.”

“No way, I can’t possibly come to my nephew’s birthday,” Amanda protested, moving back into Matt’s arms.

“My husband… Do you know, marrying you is something I never predicted, whether from a happy, overflowing perspective or from the gratitude I’ve always offered to God? I’m so happy, Matt. I just want to stay by your side until then, even till death do part.”

“We still have a long way to go,” Matt kissed the back of the hand where he had put a wedding ring on Amanda’s finger.

“There are still many things waiting for us in front of there. Happy that I’ve given you not all, and I’ll give you one after the other. Marrying you is my goal in life, making you happy is my duty, and protecting you in all your love and affection is my effort as the head of the family. So, I beg Amanda, don’t hesitate to share anything; trust me, Matt’s eyes glazed over the woman he loved; there’s no one in this life I’m fighting for but you, Amanda. There is no one I love more than my own life if not you.”

Amanda smiled sweetly. She was grateful again for a series of sentences that not only Matt said, but she did realize in real action during her marriage to Amanda. This is what it’s like to marry the right person, this happy as it turns out.

She is most grateful to God for all the good things He has given her. Indeed, no human being is perfect, but anyone would be jealous to see Amanda loved by a cold and dominant figure but turned 180 degrees with her.

Matt was always perfect in Amanda’s eyes. Even once, a sense of unworthiness came to her mind. Yes, sometimes Amanda feels small and incapable if she has to meet the world’s expectations to repay her husband’s sincerity and good attitude.

“How can I doubt that? You don’t give me time to doubt? I trust Matt. Very. You always say you’re lucky to have me – which is still lacking – not only you, but I’m fortunate to be loved by a strong and sincere person. I wanted to tell the whole world that Amanda La Wallace lived a delighted life after finding her soulmate.”

Matt also smiled at Amanda’s words and boldly kissed his wife’s lips-not the passionate kiss she likes to make, but the gentle gesture to channel his feelings of love.

“If you live very happily, don’t sit alone with such a sad expression. Shed your worries and sorrows into me, Babe. I’m happy to accept.” Matt said, tightening his arms.

“Hm… Matt, I’m sorry I haven’t been able to give you a child.” Amanda ducked sadly.

“What? Why are you suddenly talking like that?”

“Try if I’m the perfect girl. You’ll have a cute kid-” Matt stopped Amanda’s lips with his index finger.

The man was not too surprised to hear why his wife had a gloomy face because she had guessed it. Amanda’s always like this when she faces many happy kids chatting and running around.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Although they once spoke about Matt not minding whether or not there was a child, he knew it wasn’t easy for Amanda to accept.

Amanda also often visits Kellani’s house, which already has two kids. She was pleased when she saw Kellani holding Lio or learning how to make cookies, and she immediately sent Matt a picture of herself.

“Amanda…”

“Look, you don’t have to do anything or pay back everything I’ve given you. No, sweetheart, you’re perfect your way. Believe me,” said Matt while repeatedly kissing Amanda’s head.

“From the beginning, I emphasized, don’t ever forget, I married you not to have children. You’re far more important and valuable than a child.” Amanda’s eyes were glazed.

“Matt, I want to hear the cries and laughter of a child in our house,” Amanda hugged Matt, embarrassed when she said her wish.

“Sweetheart… Maybe it’s not natural yet. But we’ll try it differently, even if you want, I won’t mind.”

“Matt…”

“We could adopt a child.” Matt cut out her words.

“Are you serious, Matt?” Amanda couldn’t help but cry because she had thought this and tried to accept her situation sincerely. But there was still some worry: Matt couldn’t be this open.

Without Amanda’s knowledge, Matt had planned to adopt a child. To him, all the children in this world are the same, given by the creator. The only difference is through which door they come.

Little Matt once felt life without parents, and giving home to one in a million less fortunate children was noble for one of them to have a better future. Even though he’s not a biological child, Matt doesn’t matter because the presence of a child who knows him and Amanda as a ‘parent’ has given him happiness.

“Why not? Come on, we’ll take care of everything after this party.”

“Thanks, Matt. You’re the best husband in the world!”

…

Sunday morning at the Wallace family residence. The head of the family is still hanging in a blanket because he returned from Russia only last night. And after two solid weeks, Matt just wants to rest at home in peace.

However, it is difficult to have active children because they don’t understand if their parents are tired or whatever. All they know is how to get their parent’s attention.

One is a two-and-a-half-year-old girl rubbing her eyes around with curly hair that looks very messy, typical of a young child just waking up. The kid looks even more adorable in white lace pyjamas and diapers. Remember his left hand still faithfully hugging a doll, ‘Emily the corpse bridge’.

“Mowling dad. Come on, get up!” (Morning) Since earlier, Matt has been ignoring the call of his little daughter standing by the bedside.

“Daddy!”

“Get up!” Feeling neglected, the little girl’s brain went up on the bed and noticed Matt was still faithfully closing his eyes; even now, the man was back snoring.

The little girl slowly pinched Matt’s nose, then began climbing onto Matt’s enormous body to lean against the chest of Daddy’s field.

Matt felt movement over his body, like a caterpillar moving cutely. He was convinced it was his daughter. Matt then hugs the child comfortably, stroking the trim back to sleep with him again.

Feeling that Daddy stopped his swipe, the little girl returned to sitting on Matt’s stomach. Without fear, she put her tiny little hand on the mafia boss’s cheek and gently pressed both sides.

Disturbed by his sleep, Matt finally took the bread-like little arm to smell it with a big bang.

“Don’t be naughty. Daddy’s still sleepy, sweety-”

“Breakfast, Dad. Lesgo!” (Let’s go)

“One minute, okay?”

“Okay! Ugh… Dad, you’re going to Lily’s room to colour store, right? Mommy said we’d go three.”

“So, sweety. Now kiss Daddy first.” The little girl immediately got excited about smearing the whole part of Matt’s face because she was impatient and hungry.

Matt’s laughter was heard because his face was now wet from his daughter’s kiss. When Matt’s eyes were perfectly opened, he was immediately greeted by his little girl’s sweet smile, which made him unable to resist kissing the child’s face back.

“Dad! Hahahaha, tickles Daddy.”

“Let’s have breakfast,” Matt said, about to lift the tiny body so that he put it on his shoulders after being satisfied with cheating.

“No! Wash your face first! Later, Mommy will be angry,” said the little one while moving her two hands in the plain face area, telling Matt to wash his face first. It was so adorable that Matt wanted to bite his daughter’s cheek.

Laughter surrounds the couple’s journey to the dining room. Secretly in his heart-Matt’s an atheist – thanks to God’s gift, perfecting Lily’s presence as a gem of his life.

Although it may be the reality of putting it in different conditions, Matt and Amanda were grateful when they fought for a female toddler figure who became a complement to their small family. At least apart from Aleara Howard and Helios Gabriel Howard, Amanda’s parents were happy to have the first grandchild of the youngest daughter. Amanda’s mother’s thoughts slowly began to open up in a more positive direction.

As her name suggests, Lily Aileene Wallace is a gift whose presence is like a ray of sunshine in the Wallace family. Her innocent smile, bright laughter, adorable behaviour and tears bring joy to Matt, who is becoming an increasingly mature parent figure with Amanda.

While the dining room.

Amanda was Matt’s sweet interaction with Lily, who had been laughing, but Amanda was busy preparing breakfast. Sit the little girl on the baby chair. Then, he approached his beloved wife and kissed her cheek.

“Good morning, my beautiful wife,” Matt hugged the waist from behind while giving a morning kiss on the cheek of the person he called ‘wife’.

“Good morning, husband. Oh, my God, my big baby is so spoiled. Our daughter managed to wake you up, didn’t she?”

“Yes, the bonus got a kiss from the little one,” said Matt, still hugging Amanda. “Luckily, once my life has been full of you both,”

“We’d be lucky to have you, sugar. I also hope that Lily can grow up to be a devoted son to her parents.” Amanda did not expect that happiness is as simple as gathering together, being able to care for and seeing the growth of loved ones. Full of beautiful laughter in the hands of a husband as good as Matthew Wallace, who always guided her, who would never leave her behind.

“Of course, our beloved Lily will grow up to be a beautiful girl who is kind, wise, loving, and generous. Isn’t this view beautiful? I’m pleased, Mrs. Wallace.”

Amanda nodded. “Yeah, it’s beautiful. It’s so beautiful that I don’t feel like asking God for anything else. It’s all good enough for me. I will keep every moment of this in my heart, and I will remember the same feeling of happiness when I grow old.”

“No need, Lily’s Mommy…” Matt kissed Amanda’s temple briefly. “Whether it’s a year ahead, ten years, eleven, twelve and so on… This beauty will continue to be with us. I’m not going to let us lose any of this. Because here, what makes it beautiful is not the moment… But it’s us who always spend time together.”

“You’re right, Lily’s Daddy,” Amanda, still wearing an apron, hugged Matt’s affection. “We’re already beautiful… so we will be together forever-”

Matt had his wife all over his face and ended up with a soft streak on his lips.

“Dad, don’t kiss Mommy so much! Mommy belongs to Lily, Daddy… please !” Their little princess protests invited laughter from Daddy Matt and Mommy Amanda.
