Chapter 185
Desi then reached out to knock on Letta's door with the tray that was Now in her hands. Desi tried to assess her mistress's condition because since Letta had seen the news about Marco and Arabella a few days ago, Letta had not left her room except to go to the garden, the library, or watch TV as she usually did. Letta had truly secluded herself in her room. That's why Desi always sent food to Letta, and even had to coax her to finish her meals every time.
At this moment, Desi's steps halted as she saw Letta staring at the flat screen in front of her, still filled with news about Marco Jovanka. Not only the television screen, but even newspapers, magazines, and social media were full of Marco and Arabella's names. But what puzzled Desi was why her mistress had not contacted Mr. To explain everything, even though Desi knew that Marco must have already known about the spreading news.
"Madam, it's better for you to eat your lunch first. You didn't finish your breakfast this morning," Desi said, making Letta remain silent, staring blankly ahead. Desi then placed the lunch she had arranged as neatly as possible, even Letta's favorite food didn't seem to stimulate her mistress's appetite.
"Madam,” Desi said again, kneeling and sitting in front of Letta, who remained silent, seemingly pondering whether the news was the truth or a lie that had not yet received confirmation from the person concerned. Desi then reached out and clasped Letta's hand, which looked thinner and felt colder, making Letta finally willing to respond to Desi's greeting, who was looking at her with concern.
"Madam, don't dwell too much on this issue and think negatively. You have To take care of yourself, especially As you are in the later stages of your pregnancy,” Desi said, making Letta fall silent, until Letta finally looked at the food brought by Desi.
"I don't have the appetite," Letta said again, making Desi shake her head again.
"No, Madam. Even if you don't have the appetite, think about the baby in your womb. Look, your body is getting thinner," Desi said again, making Letta look at the palm of the hand held by Desi.
"Why hasn't Marco contacted me yet? Is it because the circulating news is true? Has Marco abandoned me, leaving me alone in this big house?" Letta said again, making Desi immediately deny it. Desi held Letta's hand even tighter. "It's impossible for the Master to act like that. I and everyone in this house know that the Master loves you very much. He would never leave without A word, and that will never happen," Desi said again, making Letta unable to hold back her tears, which were now wetting her cheeks.
"Iam really scared, Desi," Letta said, finally bursting into tears, making Desi hold Letta tightly in her arms, as if this were a flashback to when Letta was often mistreated by Marco in the past, and this was the first time Letta had cried since everything had been fine.
"Perhaps this is just news fabricated by the Master's enemies, and maybe right now the Master is busy sorting everything out. We just need to stay positive and keep moving forward,” Desi said, trying to calm Letta, only to make Letta cry even
more.
"What if it's all true? What am I going to do, what am I going to do with this baby if Marco is not by our side?" Letta said again.
"The Master couldn't possibly do that to you and your unborn child. Wasn't the Master eagerly anticipating the birth of the child you are carrying?" Desi replied, making Letta finally loosen her embrace and look towards Desi. "That's not a guarantee, is it? You can also see someone like Arabella who has it all. She really looks harmonious and suitable for Marco, very different from me," Letta said again, making Desi fall silent. Out there, many people did praise the couple Marco and Arabella, especially when they were still in a relationship. At that time, Letta wiped her tears roughly.
"I have been wanting to ask about this for a long time. Is it true that Arabella is Marco's ex-fiancée?" Letta asked, trying to confirm the news she saw on television.
"That's true, but their relationship ended a long time ago, Madam," Desi said, making Letta seem somewhat hesitant.
"Why didn't Marco ever tell me about it? Why should I find out from the news like this after news about them has spread?" Letta said again, making Desi remain silent, not knowing how to explain it.
"How was their relationship then? How did they break up?" Letta asked, trying to find out about Marco and Arabella's previous relationship, because Letta was sure that Desi must at least know a little more than what was on the screen. "I don't really know. I just know that Mr. Marco and Miss Arabella did have a relationship in the past, but I heard a long time ago that they agreed to part ways. The news also reported that they parted on good terms,” Desi said, not wanting to tell everything in more detail to Letta. Desi was afraid of saying the wrong thing. Perhaps Marco intentionally kept it hidden because he didn't want any misunderstandings between them.
"Desi, I trust you. I also consider you like a friend. Tell me anything you know. I don't want to be the ignorant one who knows nothing about my husband's problems. Isn't Marco too secretive about everything with me? He hides anything he doesn't want me to know. What's the purpose of it, really? Doesn't he seem to not believe that I can accept his past, or maybe there's something I shouldn't know while I'm still missing my memory?" Letta asked again, making Desi truly seem torn between whether to choose to tell her or not.
"T really don't know, Madam. I am just a servant here, and J don't want to pry into my employer's relationships too much. Please forgive me,” Desi said, her aim also being to protect Letta's feelings, not wanting Letta to feel even worse after the news she had received from the television screen.
"So, what should I do now, Desi? Even Marco doesn't remember me at all. How busy is he managing everything with Arabella?" Letta said calmly, lowering her face with her eyes getting teary again.
"Come on, Madam. Right now, what you need to focus on is your own condition and your baby. You should be preparing for your birth by now. Isn't the due date approaching soon?" Desi said again, as if reminding Letta that their baby's due date was just a few weeks away. However, Marco still hadn't returned. Could it be that she would have to go through the birth of their baby alone, which Marco had said was a day he had eagerly awaited? But now, even hearing from him felt difficult for Letta.
"Did Marco really leave me to go through this alone? Who is he? Not wanting to accompany me at such an important time like this?" Letta murmured, making Desi just look at her with a worried expression. Of course, Desi understood how Letta must be feeling right now. She seemed like someone who didn't know anything, left with a pile of questions. It would surely affect her and the baby she was carrying, and Desi didn't want anything bad to happen to her employer. Desi would try to contact Pedro after failing to reach him several times. At least Desi had to say that Letta's condition was starting to deteriorate, especially with the due date approaching.
