”I will not tell her” he politely said and asked for their order.

Novie felt embarrassed, she was not sure how well the waiter knew Evan and she doesn't want him to think of her as his mistress.

Both Evan and Novie were quiet all along, even after their food came. They gradually looked at Daniella and Ken who kept on laughing, the sound of their laugh even reach their spot while they are like a stranger sharing a table and, Novie was not used to it. She's the person who loves to complement the food. She decided to gather all her courage and started a conversation.

”So Mr. Su” she began, the man looked at her while chewing on his food.

Evan swallowed his food and drank his water.

”Call me Evan” she nodded as a response, he already told her before but, somehow she felt uncomfortable since he was her previous boss.

”Sorry. Anyway, I have been wondering how you and Daniella met,” she asked while slicing her steak.

Novie bite on her lower lips when she didn't hear his response, she blinked and lifted her sight to look at him, only to find him looking at Daniella's direction with a wide smile.

Then Evan looked at her and then, this was the first time she saw him smiling at her.

”In the basement,” he started and lowered his fork and knife.

Novie rose an eyebrow in confusion, wondering what he meant.

”We met in the basement when she was only ten. She and Danny were being held by a doctor who used to work under Ken's father.”

Her lips parted in shock, she was not expecting it. ”Why?”

At that moment, she saw a vein popped out in his neck, the soft expression he had earlier faded and, rage flashed in his face.

”To experiment them. It started with revenge, the selfishness of Ken's father. In result, Ken's mother was held by his father's rival for 25 years and, my wife and her brother were separated and, of course, Ken, he grew up without his mom and a father who barely looked at him” Evan explained.

A pain throbbed in her heart when she imagined the pain Ken's went through. She sighed and looked at her boyfriend direction only to find him having a serious talk with Daniella. The laugh they had earlier had passed and, the two were having serious expression as they drank their wine.

”I think he will be a good father” Evan spoke out of the blue. And those words gave her heart a whacked.

”Ah -” she was speechless. Her ears were not set to hear those words.

”Ken's father is the worst person I had ever met. So I know that Ken will do his best not to be like him.” Evan's voice was full of sincerity and it surprisingly removed all the trouble she had about starting a family with Ken.

She was not looking for an advise but, she finds herself asking for it.

”I am just scared that he doesn't want to have a kid because of his past. I don't really care about it but, I also don't want to force him” she emitted a sighed and felt as if a huge rock has been lifted in her heart.

Evan chuckled.

”Funny, because he said the same thing. I guess you two have been separated for too long that both of you are uncomfortable to open this topic” Novie nodded as she heard those words.

Evan has a point, and she's glad to know what Ken has in his mind.

”What should I do?” she asked in a disturbing tone.

Evan let out a loud chuckled that made the people next to them to looked at him.

”What's funny?” she asked in amusement.

Evan shook his head while the smile remained on his lips.

”Well, being married to Daniella for years gives me this crazy idea” and once again, Evan chuckled.

”What is it?” she asked, his laugh made her giggle as well.

”It's,” Evan paused to laugh while his fist covered his lips.

She stared at him with her eyes shining in amusement.

”Tell me, what would be Daniella's advise if I ask her?” she asked in curiosity and, waited for his response.

Evan took a deep breath and composed himself. All the awkwardness they had earlier had disappeared because of their light conversation.

”I bet, she will say make him drunk and pin a needle to his condom. You will get pregnant and, he will marry you right away” as she heard those words, she could feel her cheeks burning. She covered a hand to her mouth to prevent herself from bursting while in Evan's eyes, tears started to form as he laughed.

”Is that… how the triplets were made?” she asked in between her laugh.

When Evan nodded, both of them exploded and, laughed at the same time.
