Crish hurriedly helped the girl to get up while cleaning her clothes from the dust.
“Sorry, Uncle. I didn’t do it on purpose,” Key said, looking down.
“Hey, it’s not your fault, I also walked in a hurry earlier,” said Crish while grabbing Key’s tiny hand to calm him down.
Crish’s eyes couldn’t stop staring at Key’s beautiful face, the girl’s beady eyes were so charming, her delicate little hands, her slightly blonde ponytail, and her smile so sweet that Crish couldn’t take his eyes off her.
“Maybe this is how it would feel if I had a daughter,” said Crish to himself.
He has been married for 3 years, but his wife has not yet been blessed with children. Even though Crish wanted the presence of a baby in his little family. Not only because he felt lonely at home, but Crish also thought that if he had a child then that child would be the sole heir to his father-in-law’s fortune because his wife was the only child. And today, for the first time, Crish was made to fall in love with a little girl.
“Keys, what’s wrong?” asked the nanny who had just come over.
“I accidentally bumped into that uncle,” said Key.
“I’m sorry, sir. Key must be accidental,” said Key’s nanny, bowing.
“It doesn’t matter, it’s not her fault,” Crish said.
“Thank you, sir. Come on, Keys. Let’s go in, the event will start soon, “invited the nanny.
“Bye, Uncle, I’ll go first,” Key smiled sweetly while waving his little hand.
“Bye, Key,” Crish replied, smiling too.
“Key, her name is Key. A name as beautiful as her face.” Crish muttered to himself. He didn’t even realize who Key was.
“Gosh, because of that child, I forgot what I came here for,” Crish sighed, forgetting about the clear-eyed girl because her original purpose of coming here was to thwart her father’s wedding.
Crish looked for his father here and there among the crowd of people, there weren’t too many guests, whether they were all his father’s colleagues or the woman’s family, Crish didn’t want to know. The most important thing now is to find where his father is, then force him to come home. If not, then he would destroy the entire contents of this room.
The boy still hasn’t found the father, while the event has started. But suddenly his eyes caught something that caught his attention. From inside one of the rooms, Camellia had just come out wearing a white wedding dress. Without thinking further, Crish immediately approached Camellia. If not the father, then the woman he will force to step down.
Camellia greeted Crish with a victorious smile, “Hi, stepdaughter. I thought you wouldn’t come to me and your dad’s wedding, but you’re a good kid and...”
Camellia finished talking, Crish had finished, “Don’t talk too much, I came here not to witness your wedding, but to speed it up. Now tell me where is my daddy?”
“Calm down, honey. Don’t get angry like that to your future mother, that’s not good.” Camellia instead teased him with a free smile. This managed to make Crish even more emotional.
“Don’t be so dramatic, say it quickly or I’ll destroy the entire contents of this room! Don’t test my patience!” Kris snapped.
“So you have the nerve to threaten me now? Fine, I’ll return the threat. Do you think I’m still the old Camellia? Hey, of course not. I am no longer a woman who begs you to be pitied, a woman who cries hysterically because you left me. No, now I’m a strong, intelligent woman, and can do whatever I want,” Camellia snapped back. Luckily, there were no people around the hall because the guests were in the main room watching the event take place.
Camellia took out her cell phone from her small bag, then opened a file stored neatly in the cell phone.
“Now you see this file, read carefully what is written in it,” Camellia showed the file before Crish’s eyes.
At the top of the file was written “DNA Test Results” complete with the name and address of the hospital. Crish had not finished reading, Camellia had already closed her cell phone.
“These are the results of your DNA test as well as your child’s, and it says here that the results are 95% matched. Don’t ask how I can do all this, I have told you that now I am a smart woman, “said Camellia.
Crish was speechless because he thought Camellia’s DNA test results were just threats. But it turns out that all of that existed and had been prepared by Camellia.
“Why? You didn’t think you could do all of this? It’s not much, Crish. I can do more than this,” Camellia said without the slightest fear.
The bride-to-be again opened her cell phone, this time she looked for someone’s number, then called her. Not long after, someone’s voice came from the other side of the phone.
“Hello, who is this?” said the girl.
Crish was wide-eyed, he knew exactly who the owner of that voice was.
“You must know who the girl I called is, right? Yes, exactly. This woman is Olivia Jensen, your beloved wife. I can say everything now, then send the proof to your wife,” whispered Camellia with a haughty smile.
Crish’s hands clenched violently, and his chest was blazing with anger, this was the first time he felt like he was being toyed with by a woman, but Crish really couldn’t move. On the one mind, Crish remembered his mother who was waiting for good news from him while crying hysterically at home, but on the other hand, he wasn’t ready to lose everything. Position, wealth, beautiful wife, luxurious facilities, and all that he is currently enjoying.
“Hello, who is this? What’s wrong with you?” Olivia asked again because she had not heard any answer.
Camellia prepared to speak, but she purposely slowed down time to see Crish’s response.
“Turn off the phone now, don’t say anything,” Crish said in a whisper while trying to snatch the phone from Camellia’s hand. But the girl was nimble enough to avoid. Camellia hastily hung up the phone because her opponent had indirectly admitted defeat.
Crish’s breathing sounded irregular because he was holding back anger, then his hand gripped Camellia’s arm so hard, he brought his face closer to the woman’s.
“Don’t play games with me if you don’t want to regret it,” said Crish, sharply.
“I am not afraid! The fumes of your greedy nature are still lingering,” Camellia sneered.
Crish almost threw a punch at Camellia, but before it could happen Key came calling.
“Mommy,” called the little boy.
Crish gasped, he felt familiar with that voice. Camellia took the opportunity to escape from Crish’s grip, her expression immediately brightening. Even though in his heart he was grumbling because from the start he had intended never to bring Key together with his real father even once.
“Hello dear. What’s going on here?” asked Camellia while grabbing her daughter’s tiny hand.
The man in front of her stood frozen with wide eyes when he saw the face of the girl who was called Camellia Mommy, Key. The little girl that he met in front of the lobby earlier, the beautiful girl who managed to make him fall in love.
“Mommy, Daddy Ricard told you to come over there, he said Mommy would be going up to the Altar soon. Does that mean I’ll be walking down the altar with Mommy and Daddy?” Key asked with eyes sparkling with pleasure.
Camellia’s heart was beating fast, this was Key’s first time meeting Crish in person and it felt so awkward, she didn’t know what to do.
“This is the uncle who was in front, right?” point key.
Camellia was shocked to death because she didn’t think that her daughter had met Crish before and so was Crish who was still frozen because he couldn’t believe that this beautiful girl was his son.
“Earlier I accidentally bumped into this uncle while playing. Does Mommy know this uncle?” Key asked again, managing to break the silence.“No, Mommy doesn’t know this person,” Camellia replied, spontaneously. “Let’s go, you said you want to come with Mommy to go up to the Altar.” Camellia pulled Key’s hand to quickly walk away.“Camellia, wait,” Crish called.Camellia turned around with a cynical look in her eyes, “What else?”“Does she not know about...”“No, don’t say anything. I don’t want my daughter to know anything,” Camellia said.“Come on, Key, let’s go.” Camellia led Key’s hand to follow her. While Crish could only stare at them in silence.Crish doesn’t understand, why he feels so sad when he finds out the fact that Key doesn’t know who he is, why he feels disappointed when he sees Key leave like that, and why he feels jealous when he hears Key calling Richard as a father when he should be the one in the room. That position. Crish was still frozen from a distance when he ca
Richard pulled his wife's hand and took Bella away because he didn't want to see her being seen by the guests there. While Camellia just smiled triumphantly while occasionally looking at Crish who was getting more and more uncomfortable."Why are you still standing here? You don't know what to do? Or should I teach you how to blame? Camellia asked, raising her eyebrows."I know better what to do!" Crish replied as he left to catch up with Richard. Crish understood what Camellia meant, that woman must have wanted him to take his mother away from there so as not to make a mess. If not, then Camellia's threat to expose all of Crish's scandals still stands.But this time it seems that Crish also thought that he should indeed take his mother away from there because the situation was not conducive. After that, he will develop a new strategy to deal with Camellia, who is now his stepmother.Camellia didn't stay silent, she immediately followed Crish because she had to make sure everything ha
After being involved in quite a heated debate, finally Crish managed to bring Bella home because the longer she was there, the more hurt Bella would be from Camellia's behavior, so thought Crish.But Crish would not stay silent, he would think of a way to conquer Camellia again. In the past, he had managed to make Camellia fall in love with him that deeply, so it wasn't impossible that even now he could do it again. That way Crish thought he would be able to control Camellia again.Yes, everyone has grudges against each other and is looking for ways to turn things around like they are involved in a war, but not weapons. This war is not about how sophisticated the weapons used are, but how precise the strategies are played. Who loses the strategy then he must follow the game.Meanwhile, Camellia had just finished washing up and changing clothes. While waiting for Richard who was taking a shower, Camellia stood facing outside, she deliberately opened the curtains a little so that the vi
Crish just got home, he acted as if nothing had happened so his wife wouldn't get suspicious because Crish was too lazy to explain back about what happened today, it was sickening."Hi, darling. You just got home?" said Olivia, who was sitting on the sofa watching a movie at a deafening volume. Olivia didn't even move from her bed even though she saw Crish who had just come home."Yes, dear. I just got home," Crish replied as he opened the cupboard to change clothes. He occasionally glanced at his wife who was still focused on the movie she was watching."Honey, I haven't had dinner because I didn't have time to buy food on the way. I'm hungry, so what's to eat?" he asked."Why are you asking me, just ask the maid downstairs, I don't know about such matters, honey. Besides, why don't you just eat at a restaurant, don't act like a pauper, honey,” Olivia replied, chuckling at her self-made joke.That's how it is, Olivia is the only child of the owner of a company in the chocolate food i
Olivia came rushing over to Crish who was busy making a report in his office, Olivia's face was shocked and full of questions."Honey, I just got some very shocking news, it felt like my heart almost stopped when I heard the news," said Olivia."What's wrong, baby? What news did you hear?" asked Crish, focusing his attention on his wife.“Your father.. is it true that your father has remarried? Do you know about it? I was really surprised when my friend told me that, he said he learned this news from your father's secretary. Is it true what I heard?" Olivia asked several questions at once with ragged breaths. How could it not be, as a daughter-in-law she didn't know about it at all, even her husband didn't say anythingCrish is just silent, he has not given any answer. Crish was confused about how he should explain all this to Olivia. Even though Crish intends to hide this from his wife because he doesn't want his reputation to be destroyed because Richard remarried. Crish was also af
Crish's car had just arrived in the yard of his parent's house, it was true, Richard's car was already parked there."Come on, let's go inside, I can't wait to meet that woman, I definitely won't be able to hold back my emotions, I will grab his beard, then slap his cheek or I will bite his hand," Olivia said furiously.Crish was a little surprised to hear that, “Honey, my advice, you better shut up first, don't make things worse. Let mom and dad finish it, we just have to accompany mom," Crish ordered."What's wrong with you? Why do you seem to protect that woman? Don't you like him too?" Olivia's tone was getting louder with her sharp eyes.Chris gasped, "No, I don't like that woman, you don't kill a weirdo like that, even I don't know her," Crish spontaneously answered with a convincing face. Even though in his heart he said, “You don't know anymore that he was the one I loved before you. But let that be my secret.”"Just watch out if you like another woman like that, I won't forgi
“From now on, Camellia will live here. Enough, no more arguing!” Richard closed today's debate with a decision that cannot be contested."You're always defending him, even though I'm also your wife, even I'm your first wife," Bella grew increasingly furious at Richard's arbitrary behavior, but no matter what happened she had to survive because she didn't want to just give in to a woman who didn't know self.“I said there is no further objection, my decision is unanimous. Then I'll take Camellia to pick up her things, we'll be back this afternoon," said Richard. "Come on, dear. We're going home," Richard held Camellia's hand as he left the house without caring about his children, wife, and daughter-in-law who were still not accepted by the decision he gave.Camellia followed her husband to leave there, "Excuse me, see you tonight," Camellia said while waving her slender arms plus a sweet but venomous smile."Damn it, women don't know themselves! You suck, fuck you!” she shouted. The gi
“Has uncle Richard always been like that? But why could he have an affair with me, does that mean he doesn't love his wife?” Camellia asked.Jessica's laughter stopped immediately, her eyes widened at the memory of the past. “Yes, Richard is always like that when he loves someone with his heart. Back when I was still with him, he loved me very sincerely, he treated me like a queen. But as I said earlier, Richard is the type of man whose needs must always be met, especially regarding sex. At that time I was happy to serve him whenever he needed me, I was willing to give my body completely to Richard. But over time I got tired of constantly serving him because I was still small. Richard often feels dissatisfied when it comes to me. Along with that, there's something else I'm lacking, which is a future that isn't bright. I've told you about my family situation, right? Yes, what is expected of a girl who has an ex-con father like me?” Jessica's words stopped, and she wiped the clear beads
