"Daddy?" Zeeko's eyes fiddled when she saw her father-in-law looking at her sharply.
"Uncle Thony?" Mercy was surprised.
"Tell me what you're doing at this early hour, huh? You guys playing with fire behind my daughter?" lick Anthony.
"No-no, Dad! Me and Mercy just..."
"What only?!" Anthony intercepted quickly. He was furious with Zeeko's behavior that had still not changed. Plus, Trisha is pregnant. Anthony won't let his daughter get hurt again by Zeeko.
"We're just chatting, Uncle!" Mercy defended herself. He was really unlucky this time. Especially considering the discussion with Max earlier. Makes Mercy's head want to break.
"Chatting at this early hour? Aren't you guys wrong?" Anthony looked at the two.
"Dad, please don't get me wrong. I really didn't do anything with Mercy. I was already awake. Then I sat here thinking about work, and then he came here. That's it, Dad!" Zeeko tried to explain clearly to her father-in-law.
Zeeko does not want his relationship with Trisha who has just improved again hit by problems. Zeeko glanced sharply at Mercy.
"This woman did bring bad luck to me! Why did he suddenly come here? And what was he doing in the back mansion? Isn't there just an empty room?"
"Are you sure of what you said?" ask Anthony to clarify.
"Yes, Dad. I swear I didn't do anything with him. If I want to do something, shouldn't I just take her to the room? Why do you have to talk outside that you can see?"
Zeeko's alibi has a point, too. And Anthony believes that.
"And you! What excuses? Why is this morning blind like you're seeing another woman's husband?"
"Eh? Uncle! I didn't do anything! The vow! I told you I couldn't sleep. That's why I'm walking around this mansion. That's all!"
Mercy's facial expression was unconvincing.
"You sure?" search Anthony.
Mercy nodded steadily. "Yes, Uncle. I swear!" Mercy showed her two fingers forming the letter V.
The morning commotion created by Zeeko and Mercy awakens all the inhabitants of the house, including Trisha.
"Daddy, why so much noise? What's up?"
"Darling..." Zeeko immediately positioned herself beside Trisha.
"You why? You're not going crazy with him, are you?" show Trisha to Mercy.
"God! How many times have I told you, I've changed!" Zeeko rubbed his face rough.
"And you're brother! What are you doing with my husband?"
Mercy had to be patient because she was being accused this time. But suddenly his desperate face changed with a smile when he saw Max coming there with Lexi.
"Max! I was with Max all night!" mercy exclaims to make everyone look at Max.
"Is that right, Max?" Zeeko narrowed his eyes looking at the assistant.
Max who always looks flat and cold just shows the usual attitude in front of everything.
"Max! Let's say it quickly!" insist Mercy. His face begged Max. But the man was silent.
Actually Lexi wanted to help Mercy get off the charges. But now is not the time to be a hero. Max could have been responsible if they had a sense of each other.
"Why is Max silent?" inner Lexi wondered. "Have their relationship ended? Are they just doing a one night stand?"
Zeeko who understood the meaning of Max's clamor, finally opened his voice.
"It's already! Don't extend! Trisha trusts me anyway, Dad. So, we'll still be fine." Zeeko grimaced showing his row of teeth. At this time he had to take his father-in-law's heart.
"Already, Anthony. Mercy is also my daughter. I'm sure he's not as bad as you're accusing him of!" Ariana followed. It was a pity to see Mercy cornered.
The discussion ended this morning. They went back to their rooms and waited for breakfast.
...***...
Trisha looked at Zeeko who was now busy hugging herself on the bed.
"Emm, there's no. I just woke up." Zeeko gently rubbed Trisha's stomach.
"But why be with Mercy's sister?"
Zeeko let out a rough sigh. "I told you he came and sat next to me. Nothing happened between us. Believe, Trish!"
Trisha mangosteen. "Then, why did Mercy accuse Max?"
Zeeko only remembered about Max who disappeared some time ago.
"Does this have anything to do with Mercy?"
"Zeez! Answer!" Trisha shakes Zeeko's arm.
"Hmm, looks like I missed something here." Zeeko smiled meaningfully.
"What?"
"About them."
"They're who?" Trisha doesn't understand Zeeko's speech.
"Hhhhhh!" Because Zeeko immediately gives a kiss to Trisha's face. Starting from the forehead, both cheeks, nose, eyes and then lips.
"You're making me fail to understand, Trish! Now take my punishment!"
"Aaaaa, my goodness Zee! I really don't understand what you're talking about."
"All right! So you understand, let's do what they do!"
"Eh?!"
Trisha who is still confused is actually just silent and enjoys all the touches that Zeeko gives her. They have not long since missed this.
"Zeez! Slow down! Poor our son!" pinta Trisha with an adorable reddened face.
"If that's what I understand!" Zeeko smirked and immediately continued his action.
...***...
Mercy who is upset looking for Max's whereabouts that have embarrassed him is not a bitch. Instead of defending, instead Max simply echoed his clamor in front of everyone.
"Hhhh, where is he?" pissed Mercy.
Suddenly, the man was behind Mercy's body.
"Miss looking for me?"
"Well?!" Mercy was surprised while glaring.
"You!" Mercy's index finger is pointing at Max.
"I why?"
"Why don't you defend me? I spent the night with you!"
Max laughed heartily. "What's helping you? You asked me to forget everything, right? We are just partners! So, we don't ask each other for more!"
"You!" An irritated Mercy finally slaps Max on the cheek. "It turns out I misjudged you, Max!" Mercy steps away leaving Max. Her tears have already shed. It turned out that to acknowledge each other there was a sense of so hard for both of them.
"Haaah! He failed to understand what I mean!" Max smashed his plontos head furiously.
