The next morning, at breakfast with Celine intending to tell papa and mama.
"Mama, do you know who Celine met last night?" Smith and Melinda looked at Celine with curiosity.
"Sister Belva is back!" Celine said making them both open their eyes in surprise.
“Did you really see it? Where?" Smith asked enthusiastically.
Celine leaned her body slightly closer to the table, "Last night at the party, she attended a party that Uncle Elmer was holding as a representative of a designer from New York."
Melinda looked very surprised to hear the news, "Really? Then what did he say to you?” Melinda asked with a face full of curiosity.
Celine immediately put on a sad expression, "My brother bullied me, saying that I took Hego from him. Not only that, he also said that I took his position in this family."
Smith immediately took Celine into his arms, "Don't pay attention to what he says, you are papa's favorite daughter. Papa knows what your character is, only you will inherit all of Papa's wealth and assets."
Celine immediately arched a sweet smile at her mother.
"Did Belva tell you why she ran away from her previous marriage?" Melinda asked wanting to know where he liked it when Belva was cornered. And now Melinda wants Belva removed from this house so that Celine can have all of Smith's assets and wealth without being disturbed by anyone.
Celine immediately opened her arms and looked at Smith, "Oh yes, last night I saw my brother bringing a handsome boy, about five years old."
Smith widened his eyes in surprise, “You actually saw it?” Celine nodded enthusiastically.
"If she is around 5 years old, that means that when the wedding took place, Belva deliberately ran away because she was pregnant with another man, because of that she left the wedding, afraid that Hego would leave her, that's why maybe Belva chose to leave first before being embarrassed by Hego," guessed Melinda made Celine nod in agreement.
Smith growled, clenching his jaw tightly, “That kid really embarrasses me. I'll tell Teco, if all this isn't Hego's fault. "And last year's wedding should still be able to continue with you as the bride, darling, I see you and Hego are also compatible."
Celine just smiled and blushed when she heard that. Then he added, "But dad, Celine thinks there's something wrong with Uncle Elmer."
Smith and Melinda looked at Celine in surprise, "What do you mean?" Smith asked, not understanding.
Celine looked at her parents closely, "Last night I saw Uncle Elmer beat Hego black and blue, just because Hego said hello to big brother. Uncle Elmer also took his brother and son away.”
Melinda widened her eyes, "Hego was beaten? Gosh, Belva really made Hego's relationship with his uncle worse. Did he do it on purpose? I feel like Belva deliberately approached Elmer to hurt Hego, poor Hego."
Smith clenched his fists on the table, tightening his jaw as a sign that he was holding back his anger at this time.
"What should I do to deter this child, he really makes me embarrassed and angry right now, what should I say to Teco," muttered Smith, who looked frustrated with Belva's attitude.
Celine held Smith's arm, "Papa, don't worry, Celine will try to persuade my brother to come home."
Smith patted Celine's hand, "No need, papa doesn't want her to come back to this house. Just leave him out there. Papa doesn't want to accept him to live here. He had already brought enough shame to this family and did not deserve to be in the Smith family. Tomorrow papa will remove his name from the family card. He's not one of us anymore."
Celine pursed her lips to suppress her smile at this time.
Smith immediately got up from his chair, "Papa goes to the office first."
Celine and Melinda nodded. After Smith left, Melinda immediately moved to sit side by side with Celine.
“Really Belva has returned?” Celine nodded.
Melinda asked again, "Then did you see the man beside her?" Celine nodded.
"Last night I saw a half-breed man accompanying him, he recognized Belva as his younger sister, he even threatened me that if I touched Belva, he would kill me. I don't think he's her husband, so the child, whose child is it?” Celine muttered, wondering with curiosity.
Melinda patted Celine's arm with wide eyes.
"Don't tell me that child is Elmer's child?" Melinda guessed, making Celine open her mouth in surprise.
The next morningBelva woke up when she felt a gentle stroke on her hair.“Are you awake?” Belva immediately opened her eyes.Elmer was seen gently stroking Belva's hair.Belva immediately woke up, turned to the side, looked at Olaf who was still fast asleep beside her."I've prepared breakfast for you, come down after this," Belva just nodded making Elmer get out of bed, kissing Belva's forehead briefly.Belva gasped slightly, stunned for a moment before she woke up from her reverie."My heart is pounding so much," Belva muttered as she immediately got out of bed to wash her face.Belva went down the stairs, seeing Elmer busy serving food on the dining table."Uncle cooked all this?" Belva asked making Elmer raise his head."You still call me uncle?" Belva swallowed her saliva, pulled a chair to sit down.Elmer looked at Belva, "You can call me El."Belva looked at Elmer closely, "Uncle is like better, I only respect my elders."Elmer immediately took off his apron, "You have annulle
“Daddy!” Belva immediately got down from the dining table.Smith seemed to narrow his eyes at Belva and Elmer.Belva was about to approach Smith, hugging him to channel her longing.However, it wasn't a hug that Belva got, but a hard slap.Elmer widened his eyes, glared angrily, grabbed Belva's shoulders."Why did you slap Belva? Did he do something wrong?” Elmer's tone sounded like he was holding back anger at this time."Shut up El, you don't know anything. Don't interfere in my family matters!" Smith confirmed to Elmer.Smith looked back at Belva, “Listen to me. Starting today, starting this second, you are no longer my daughter, you are no longer part of the Smith family, there are no inheritance rights, let alone assets and wealth in your name. I removed you from the family card. So don't ever dream, let alone try to come home and call me papa while your attitude is still embarrassing like that. Do you know!" Smith snapped loudly which only made Elmer tighten his jaw even more.I
Olaf immediately approached Belva and Elmer.Elmer quickly picked up Olaf's body and carried him to the living room."That was grandfather, wasn't he?" Belva glanced at Elmer briefly."Yes darling, that's Olaf's grandfather," Belva answered quietly.Olaf looked at Elmer and Belva in turn, "Grandfather said earlier that I was an illegitimate child, what does that mean, an illegitimate child, Mom? Is it because Olaf doesn't have a father?" Olaf asked quietly, knowing very well what adults were talking about.Elmer rubbed the top of Olaf's head and tried to explain, "It's not darling, grandfather is just angry. Grandpa didn't mean to say that.”Belva held her son's hand and threw a sweet smile at him, "Listen to Mommy, don't pay attention to whatever other people say, you just need to listen to Mommy's words. Do you understand, darling?" Olaf nodded firmly.Elmer gently rubbed the top of Olaf's head and said, "You can call Uncle Daddy if you want?" Olaf beamed, looking at his mother."Ma
"Hego please do it slowly.""Sorry Celine, yours is too narrow, this really satisfies me," said Hego as he tilted his head up to enjoy Celine's.Celine gripped Hego's shoulders tightly and asked, "What if you find out about this? Your marriage will be cancelled."Hego stomped his hand again firmly and said, "Don't worry, that stupid woman won't know, she's just busy with her work."Belva stopped in her tracks when she heard a disgusting sound from inside the room of Celine, her half-sister. The suspicion that was suffocating her heart forced Belva to continue her steps to confirm her doubts, dismissing all her bad thoughts. The door to Celine's room was not closed tightly, as if it had been deliberately left slightly ajar. Belva covered her mouth, unable to believe it when she saw Hego, her future fiancé, and Celine not wearing any clothes, actually doing something disgusting now. Belva's tears had already fallen, she couldn't bear to be angry with the two of them. With a broken heart
Belva returned home with excited emotions, remembering what happened last night. His anger and frustration felt as if they were burning everything around him. He felt as if he wanted to burn down Celine's room or tear her face apart. When he entered the house, the atmosphere that greeted him was tense and filled with discomfort.Instead of gathering at the dining table for breakfast as usual, his father and mother were seen sitting together in the living room with serious expressions. Celine was also there, sitting with her innocent face full of pain. Celine looked at Belva with a sad look, as if giving her a look of pity. The tense atmosphere in the house further exacerbated Belva's anger, who now felt caught between her hurt and the tension that filled the room.Smith immediately stood up and approached Belva with fast steps. Without hesitation, he threw a hard slap at Belva's face, making her fall to the floor in pain. Smith looked at Belva with eyes full of anger and shame. "Papa
Dinner was a little awkward for Belva. But not Elmer. Since earlier, Belva has been reluctant to lift her head, because she knows that currently Elmer is staring at her intently openly without fear of Hego knowing.“Elmer, when did you come from Las Vegas?” asked Teco, who was very happy when his cousin came at the perfect event."Last night," Teco nodded and introduced them all."This is my cousin, he's from Las Vegas, he hasn't been back to his hometown for a long time, it's perfect that he came tonight, I hope we can be a big family," Smith laughed crisply as he answered, "Of course Teco, we will be a big family. ”Belva just looked down, busy twisting her fingers until Elmer's voice made her raise her head in surprise.“Of the two of them, which one will be Hego's wife?” Elmer asked deliberately even though he already knew the truth.Smith immediately put his arm around Belva's shoulder with a sweet smile, "This is El, my eldest daughter. We are very lucky to be able to get a son-
Elmer almost lost his mind because he couldn't find Belva's whereabouts. His mind continued to be filled with worry and despair which became more pressing day by day. He had been walking around the city for days, searching every corner, alley and street, hoping to find traces of Belva, but all his efforts were in vain.Every time he thought he was approaching a clue, that hope was dashed, leaving him with a feeling of deepening frustration. The anxiety and fear of losing Belva forever made Elmer almost crazy. Every time he passed by the places they had visited together, the memories only added to his emotional burden.His tired eyes and body that was starting to lose strength reflected his anxiety. Elmer began to feel hopeless, as if the city's walls were closing in, trapping him in an endless search. There wasn't a single corner of the city that he hadn't explored, but Belva seemed to have just disappeared without a trace.Elmer feeling frustrated and angry with himself. His mind was
