"Lea, I'm gonna ask you a question. Has Daniel been rude to you all this time?"
Richard tried to talk to his daughter who had just finished breakfast.
"No dad, just yesterday it was doang. He was a very nice person, never rude to me." replied Lea.
"You're talking like this, not because you're pregnant, right?. Not because you're afraid of divorce, and end up taking care of the child alone."
"No, and good. You've been friends with him for years, when you didn't understand his nature."
"Hhhh."
Richard sighed, he threw his gaze into a corner and looked back at Lea.
"Fear, Lea. Afraid it's too early for you. If you knew early that you were a father's son, you wouldn't have asked you to go to the agency. You are too young, the agency can actually be criminalized right. I'll sue them for exploiting a minor."
Lea lowered.
"It's up to you if you want to sue them, but you also met Dian at the agency, right?. At that time Dian was also still in school and was still a minor, but I had no problem. I forget that other girls have parents too, who might be disappointed with their kids like that."
Lea looked at Richard's eyes.
"The father took and cared for the daughters of the people. But when it happened to the father's own son, the father was angry and did not accept. Does not every action have a reward?"
Richard flinched and looked at the daughter deeply.
"Father can do things at will, but do not want to accept karma. Daughter is treated like a pet, but father's own child cannot. Why should I set a double standard?. Just like a person who does not like his wife, girlfriend, or daughter to dress openly. Always told them to appear closed, but he himself liked that there was a sexy girl passing in front of him. Like the scantily clad chick on the social media porch."
"Dad doesn't like you dictating to dad, Lea. As bad as a person is, he must want the best for his partner and daughter."
"And I forget when we're bad, the good never comes. Unless we change ourselves for the better. Because good and bad are two different energies, and each energy will attract the same energy. The bad will attract the bad, the good will attract the good too. How can you wish the best for your child, while you still treat people badly."
Richard sighed, only this time he lost talking to someone. And the worst thing is that the person is his own son, who is even under twenty years old.
"I want to go home, Dad. I'm gonna see you, Daniel."
Richard again breathed.
"You better think again." Richard looked back into his daughter's eyes.
"Have you felt enough about all this?. Is this marriage the last goal of your life?. You're so young, Lea. Having a child at an age that is not even 20 years old, it will be the toughest thing in your life."
This time Lea was silent.
"You will grow, become more mature day by day. You will see how many women out there still enjoy their freedom. You're stuck in a marriage, with a man who's even twice your age."
"You will see the world when Daniel may be old. You may fall in love again, with someone your age. Because our hearts are always changing. You have not experienced that phase now. The phase where you will be bored with marriage, which you think will be beautiful forever. Please think carefully, before the baby in your stomach is getting bigger and has life. Your future is long, Lea. You deserve a man who has nothing to do with women."
Leah bowed deeply, Richard kissed her forehead and left the place. Now Leah remained silent.

"Ellio, I don't want to talk about Daniel or Leah anymore."
Richard said the next day, when he arrived at the office and saw that Ellio was already in his room.
"Gue won't leave until we talk" Ellio insisted.
"Gue will go."
Richard moved towards the door, but it was locked from the outside. Richard was upset, but Ellio laughed a little. He had been working with Richard's secretary to lock the door when Richard had gone inside.
"You want what the hell?. Cepetan talking to me." said Richard annoyed.
Ellio sighed and took his foot off Richard's desk. He had been sitting in his friend's chair raising his feet on the table since.
"Until when will you lock Leah up and forbid Daniel from seeing his own wife?"
"It's none of your business."
"Ow is certainly none of my business, but I care. You can't hurt two people, just because of the selfishness you have."
"Lea would be fine without Daniel" Richard said.
"That's according to you, you don't know Leah's true heart."
"He's just stuck, not necessarily he really loves Daniel. Since she was first fucked by Daniel, she is now pregnant. The feeling he had could have been due to getting carried away, not because he really wanted to."
"Richard, now I ask. If Lea wasn't your real child, would you still think so. Or do you choose not to care?"
This time Richard was silent.
"Don't you only care about Daniel, how Daniel can escape from Grace's shadow. You never cared about Lea who was so young, whose future might still be long. I'm the same, the one we think about the most is Daniel. We're both bad, Richard. And now that you know Lea your son, you just want to care, you just talk about his mental condition. Lo evil Richard, you've remained evil until now."
Ellio said with a tone of emphasis.
"At least let your child be happy with his choices. Daniel first gives protection and affection to Leah. Long before you knew he was your son. Daniel may have had many trips with the women. We may be equally depraved, but never close our eyes. Daniel has changed a lot and he really loves Lea. You have to reduce your ego, ok you think mentally Lea. But by separating him from Daniel, not necessarily his mentality will improve. It could be worse."
Richard no longer answered, he was glued to his place. Ellio stood up and patted his best friend on the shoulder, a moment later he returned to his job.
