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,
The words just now made everyone wonder. However, Keenan still kept his mouth shut. He didn't want to explain what he would do later."Honey, today mom has a morning class. So I can't take you to the front," Lily said to her baby. "You'll obey Jum.""Yes, Mom," Farel replied obediently.Meanwhile, Keenan, who had just arrived at the main door, frowned when he saw her in her work clothes. He was about to make a sound but first glanced at Farel. "You go in first. I want to talk to your mommy.""Do you want to take Mommy?" asked Farel after kissing the back of their hands in turn. Keenan only replied with a smile. Then gave a demanding look for his son to immediately go into the house. Afterward, he looked at Lily sarcastically."
The decision had already been made. Keenan had said that Asih would have to leave the residence tomorrow morning. So now the misunderstanding had been cleared up. However, Lily still looked uneasy."What's wrong?" asked Keenan who had just come out of the bathroom. The scent of his body was very strong. Not to mention only wearing a bathrobe that revealed the fine hairs around his chest. Making his wife immediately bow her head."I-I'm going to Farel's room first. Later," said Lily who immediately excused herself from the room. Because of the unpleasant incident a few days ago. Farel had complained that he was afraid of being harmed."Should I stay with my grandma and grandpa? I don't want to be here," whined Farel who had hugged his mama tightly."Honey, I'm sorry. Everything is already settl
"Keenan!" Lily just stood there as she saw Lisna had buried herself in her husband's body. She didn't know whether to be angry or how to deal with the sweet-mouthed seductress.Keenan groaned softly. One hand tried to push away Lisna who was still clinging like a caterpillar. "Get away!""I came here because I was worried about you. How the hell?" croaked Lisna who was annoyed. Before she could hear Keenan's reply, the person she was waiting for finally showed up. A middle-aged man in a white suit with a stethoscope around his neck walked over."Oh my. Why didn't you wait for Uncle Faisal first?" he asked Lisna. "I was so worried about Keenan that I forced myself to leave the photo shoot this afternoon.""Yes," Lisna said with her lips parted. "I didn't know that the one who was v
