There's nothing else to do but nod your head. Everything that the woman before him had said was true.No matter how selfish he is, no matter how the world hates him. Someone who is so ambitious will keep trying until something he wants can be achieved."You're selfish," Chris said with a bitter smile."It's no different from you."The two left the cafe after thirty minutes of chatting. Along the way, Chris stared far ahead. He thought about how to make Lilyana realize that everything she did was only to help that woman.Meanwhile, Ivy, still in a taxi, decides to call someone."Hello, what's up, Ivy?" a woman's voice came from across there."Is Lily there?""Nothing, she left after hearing the news that her husband was in the hospital. Did you know about that?""Wh-what?!" Ivy pretended like she didn't know anything. "Wh-why did he get into the hospital?""I heard he was beaten by Chris, Lily's ex-boyfriend when she was still in school.""Are the two of them in trouble?""Hmm, I don't
Gladwin made everyone in the living room turn to look at him. The man with the shaved mustache smiled happily, as if his words were a good idea.Followed by Chris, he also smiled. "That's fine, that would be more efficient in my opinion," he said with his head down.For a few moments Ed Shane and Lilyana's eyes met each other. Both of them remained silent and neither of them made a decision to approve or reject."Hurry up and leave, before the traditional market is quiet." Gladwin again broke the silence.The three of them smiled awkwardly except for Gladwin who looked pleased. He smiled and stretched his hands to the sides, leading the other three people to quickly get out and leave."I--I'm going, Dad," Lilyana said a little awkwardly."Okay, take care."The white hair that was still thick on his head swayed slightly in the wind. His eyes narrowed as the smile still lingered on his face.He waved as Ed Shane started to drive the car. Not to forget, Ed Shane honked twice before the c
Everyone was silent staring at the woman who seemed to be looking right and left as if she was looking for something. But after a few seconds later, the woman again dropped her head on the table.The sound of a head hitting the side of one of the plates did not wake the woman up again. A few seconds later the sound of snoring was heard again."Huft."Chris, Ed Shane and Lilyana breathed a sigh of relief."What's the total?" Chris asked the man who then immediately took a small book."Are you sure you're going to pay for it?"Chris nodded his head."That much food?" asked Ed Shane again."We pay for it.""What?! No, I don't want to!" refused Ed Shane, he was not willing to pay for food that was not enjoyed by himself. He didn't even know who Chloe was either."I won't have enough money to pay for everything," Chris begged."But I do not want to!""Never mind, let's just work together. How if she already waking up and we can't get away from her?" Lilyana who had understood immediately m
A pair of hazel eyes looked far ahead, trying to hide what was felt in her heart. A few seconds passed, Lilyana was still silent."Tell me Lily, I won't be mad at you."Hearing this, Lilyana turned to the direction the voice came from. She smiled, a forced smile because she really didn't want to smile."Of course not," said Lilyana, shaking her head.Lilyana's answer made Ed Shane exhale. "Is it true?"The woman with wavy hair that was outlined only nodded slowly, looking doubtful but she was trying hard to convince herself."Actually if you feel jealous too that's fine for me."Lilyana's brows furrowed, she didn't know what her husband meant just now."So ... you're not angry? You're not jealous?"Ed Shane smiled so genuinely. "I know he is your ex-boyfriend Lily. You used to be madly in love with him, right?"Suddenly Lilyana fell silent, what her husband said was the right thing. Even now, she still loves her ex-boyfriend.If only Chris's mother allowed their relationship, maybe no
Once again Lilyana wiped away the tears that might still be left there. The tears that managed to make her eyes red and part of her face moist.She then shook her head. "No, I'm just sleepy.""If you're sleepy why don't you just sleep, Honey?" Ed Shane approached his wife, stroking the shoulder of the woman who looked so fragile.Again Lilyana shook her head. "I want to wait for you.""Oh, have you had dinner yet?" continued Lilyana asked.Now it was Ed Shane's turn to shake his head. "Not yet.""Hmm." Lilyana looked thoughtful. "Shall we have omelettes tonight?""Great idea, I'll make it for you!""Is it true?" The woman's eyes opened, shining with joy."Of course." Ed Shane nodded firmly.The two of them headed towards the kitchen. Now there are only the two of them in the house."You sit here," said Ed Shane who then pulled one of the chairs around the dining table.The man then put his cellphone, wallet and tuxedo on the table. After that he took an apron and put it on.The pink a
Along the way, his mind could'nt stay still. He remembered his wife's chatter last night and the woman's honest words this morning.The pain in his heart was truly unbearable. It felt like he wanted to be face to face with that insolent man right away and have his face shattered with the angry punches he was about to do.Not even fifteen minutes, the car that was traveling at high speed earlier has now arrived at the courtyard of the cafe. After parking his vehicle, Ed Shane got out of the car.It can be seen that Chris' motorcycle is already there, which means the owner is in the cafe. He couldn't wait any longer, his hands clenched into fists and all the anger gathered there.Ed Shane's punch managed to tear the corners of the man's lips slightly. Again there was a commotion in the cafe.There were screams from several frightened employees. They all tried to dodge, afraid that they would become a target too."Stop it Mr. Shane, stop it!" One of the male employees who was brave enoug
"No problem, this will be resolved and there is no need to involve the police." Margaretha said as she got up from her seat. "Have a nice day."The police station is not so crowded now. Lilyana and Ed Shane walked hand in hand."He deserves it," mumbled Lilyana who was right on her husband's left."I did right, right?""Yes, you did it right."Lilyana reached into a small bag pliers wanted to hang on one of her shoulders. A flat object was taken out from there, a white cell phone with a maroon case protecting it."I'll call dad in a minute.""Oh, where is father?" asked Ed Shane who remembered his words about going with Lilyana this morning."He's still at the restaurant, I'll give him word I'll be right over."The voice call has started to connect, the smartphone is brought closer to one of his ears. But at the same time, Ed Shane also seized the smartphone."What's wrong, Honey?"Lilyana's smartphone is still in Ed Shane's hands. The man smiled. "I don't think we need to tell him an
Back to her office, on the table there is a cup of coffee that still emits white smoke.It seems not long before her arrival, someone came and put it on the table."Huft." Lilyana sighed, she sat down on the chair and took the cup of hot coffee.She slowly blew it and sipped the coffee, the taste was slightly refreshing."Come on, eyes, don't feel sleepy before all this work is done."Her hands were back on the laptop keyboard, she typed a few letters there and checked the files next to her.About fifteen minutes later, when Lilyana was so focused on her work, the cellphone that she placed on the table not far from the pile of files vibrated. The screen lights up and shows a voice call."Ed? What did he call me for?" Lilyana frowned.Curiosity made her immediately slide the screen up, making the voice call now connected to her."Hello, what's wrong, Honey?" Her forehead still frowned."I have something for you, come out, I'm already in front."Her eyes looked to the outside of the res
