Lily's eyebrows knitted together after hearing Keenan's voice just now. Didn't her husband forbid it earlier? Why is it like this? Meanwhile, Farel looked at the couple in turn.
"You can go, but don't stay overnight," Keenan muttered after finishing his breakfast.
Lily nodded faintly even though her heart felt resentful. "Alright. Then we'll leave in a bit. Okay?"
"Just now. I'll wait in the car."
Farel cheered happily. However, Lily let out a long sigh because she couldn't protest anymore. As a result, she quickly returned to the room to get her bag.
"Daddy is so handsome. Isn't he, Mom?" murmured Farel who was now sitting in the middle of them. Lily and Keenan looked at each other then both quickly broke eye contact. "Mom?"
"I-yeah," Lily replied briefly.
"Oh yeah. You're handsome too, rig
It was not only Lily who was surprised by the arrival of the person just now. The neighbors who were judging her earlier were equally surprised. They whispered to each other while glancing at the man."What's going on?" Keenan asked as he put his arm around Lily's shoulders. Then he stared at each of them one by one."It's nothing. We were just asking Lily," one of them replied. "It's only natural that we're suspicious. Lily and her son suddenly left here. When we asked her aunt and uncle, they said she was married. We thought something was strange.""Yes. There should have been news like that long ago," added another. Lily looked down and squeezed the hem of her shirt. She was afraid that Keenan would speak out of emotion or that he would be demeaning her uncle's family. Until then, the cold man could be heard
"Already, mom. I'm full." Farel shook his head as he moved his mouth away from the spoon held by his mother."Okay. Did Daddy say you had a stomachache?" asked Lily after finishing her breakfast as well. "Nausea or something, hmm?""It doesn't hurt now. I'm just going to my room.""I'll come later, dear. I'm going to take a shower first," Lily murmured as she gently stroked the top of her son's head. Farel nodded. The boy then quickly left the dining room. He looked down as soon as he saw Keenan who passed him. Lily had now arrived at her room. She had just cleaned herself up and sat quietly on the sofa. Not long after, Keenan walked in and took a seat in front of her."Is he not mad at me anymore?" asked the cold-hearted handsome man."We still haven't talked. I could only persuade him to have breakfast," replied Lily who quickly closed her mouth which was yawning widely. "You can just go. It's okay." After that, Lily quickly closed her eyes
Lily shook her head slowly. "It's nothing. It's just a bruise.""Alright," Keenan replied briefly. He didn't want to think about something as trivial as that. He ordered the driver to drive the car in front of him. "You guys go home.""What about you?" Farel asked innocently."There will be another car to pick you up." Farel quickly complied and got into the car. Inevitably, the boy kissed the back of Keenan's hand. However, when Lily was about to do the same, a loud voice from behind distracted her. A man in a formal suit like her husband walked over with a smile. His gaze was fixed on Lily with a look that was very difficult to interpret. It wasn't long before he smiled."Wow, who is this? It looks clear even. If it's a crush, I don't think it's possible."Keenan chuckled softl
"Asih, don't talk nonsense," scolded Jum, who felt bad about her member's attitude. "Apologize to you!""Why do I have to apologize? What did I do wrong?" The waitress named Asih remained hard-hearted. Lily, who had just stuffed three mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, quickly smiled. "Never mind, ma'am. It's okay. Normally, Asih doesn't feel guilty. She seems to be used to saying that." Lily showed no offense at all. She continued, "I just know enough. Oh yes. A person's attitude reflects where they come from, doesn't it? Even if gold is thrown into the gutter, it will still be valuable, whereas even if a carcass is placed in a flower garden, it will still be seen as disgusting." Strong words intended to satirize Asih indeed. It was evident that the woman who was only a few years younger than her was confus
"Lily's husband?" asked the woman who had just arrived in front of Keenan and Farel."Yes," Keenan replied briefly.The woman grimaced softly and walked closer to them. "Why do you want to be with Lily anyway? You were probably picked on by her." Keenan chuckled then tightened his embrace on Farel who was getting annoyed by the arrival of the person. Just as he was about to speak, Lily and her aunt appeared from inside. The two women turned to each other when they saw their neighbor's forced smile."Uh, ma'am. I'm here to buy some rice.""Yes. Go straight to the stall then. I'll catch up in a minute. Lily wants to say goodbye first," replied the aunt quickly.After she left, Lily approached the two men. "Let's go, darling," she said to Farel. "Greeted to grandma first."Farel complied and smiled as his head was gently stroked by his grandmother. "We'll come
"Oh. Hemm.. from a friend. It's been a long time," Lily replied with a smile. After that, there was no more conversation as Lily returned her focus to the highway. Until a few minutes later they arrived at their destination. Luckily, the rain had stopped."Thank you, ma'am. Sorry for the trouble," said the driver who felt embarrassed."You're welcome, sir. It's a disaster, we never know," replied Lily who immediately handed the car keys to the middle-aged man. Farel, who looked exhausted from a day of playing, immediately excused himself to his room. Leaving his mom and dad who were still in the main doorway."Keenan!" called Lily as her cold husband walked towards the stairs. Keenan turned his head without making a sound at all. Waiting for what the woman was about to say. "Does anyone want t
"Mommy? Why are you standing there?" The voice just now made Lily gasp. She smiled. "Can I come in, dear?"Farel nodded quickly. "That's fine. Daddy was just about to read a storybook to me, wasn't he?" Keenan muttered softly while flipping through the book in his hand. Lily, on the other hand, kept her cheerful face as much as possible. One thing that made her wonder. Why did Farel's scared face that she saw earlier turn into this?"Mom, come here!" whined Farel who already looked ready in his sleeping position."I-yeah." Lily shifted her body a little closer to her son's right side. Meanwhile, Keenan was opposite her. There was no more talking when her husband started reading a storybook. Flat and uninitiated. That was what Lily judged from the way Keenan told the story. However, she did not hear any protest from Farel. The boy just smiled while resting his head on his daddy's arm. It didn't take lon
Keenan's sharp eyes made Dimas nod in understanding. The man then resumed eating without another word."Your cooking is delicious. Thank you," said Dimas who had published his smile. Lily only responded to his words with a small nod. Afterward, she went with the servants to the kitchen. Now only Farel and the two adult men were left in the dining room."Hi, handsome boy! We haven't had a chance to get acquainted yet, have we?" Dimas opened the conversation first after the three agreed to move to the living room.Farel nodded with a smile. "My name is Farel.""Yes, you know. Have you been to school?" Dimas asked later. And that's how their conversation continued. Dimas, who was good at creating an atmosphere,
