Behind The Divorce
Chapters 118. Strange Feelings and the Answer

The car driven by Jerry finally arrives at a building used by the Vargas family to stage the event that night.

Lean didn't have to wait for Jerry to open the door for them. Once the car had been parked perfectly, he rushed out and circled the car to the next door. He then opened the door and grabbed his wife's delicate fingers, guiding her down from the car so gently and carefully.

Well, the matter of bathing, changing, dressing up, arguing, even changing clothes for the second time, making the couple finally came late.

“Do not hurry too, dear. Relax the path.” Lean rebuked his wife who seemed to be speeding up.

Caitlyn grunting. “Casual, relaxing, not tasty come late. Because you wasted time by having to change clothes again.” Replying to her husband's words with a sniff.

Lean giggled in anxiety with his wife. “We no longer want to take part in meetings with the board of directors, dear. It's just a family event that doesn't require us to come on time, my love. Be calm,” said Lean in a low voice half whispered.

“Samely,” says Caitlyn still ketus.

The three are currently stepping into the ballroom, where the event took place. Lean took a friendly hand of the wife that was coiled on her arm.

A few steps left to reach the door of the room in question, Lean paused for a moment. Caitlyn turned her head and glared at her husband with a questioning look.

“Honey, I think maybe you'll be a little surprised in there. Therefore I ask, prepare your heart and never duck let alone be intimidated by circumstances. Keep your head up and remember that I am always by your side. Okay?” Lean looked at his wife and showered her hazel eyes with all the love she had.

Caitlyn looked up at the message Lean had said. He had not been able to digest everything and had not had time to ask, the handsome man in the elegant black suit again guided his second step into the ballroom.

Luxuriant! One word to describe the atmosphere in the room that had been crowded by humans at that time. Lean let go of his wife's hand and then grabbed the slender waist and wrapped her hand there possessively.

As he had previously predicted. Their presence became a highlight. All eyes were now on them, but Lean was very confident that the gaze was more aimed at the beautiful woman walking gracefully beside her. Read from the many views of admiration, as well as some curious gazes of business people who have certainly not known Caitlyn.

“Goodnight, Mr. Sanjaya and ..”

Suddenly a middle-aged man came over to them and was about to greet the two. However, when he wanted to say hello to Caitlyn, the man who allegedly was almost the same age as Papa Hadya, was suddenly fixated and unable to continue his words.

Lean cleared her throat as if to resuscitate the man so as not to linger staring at the beautiful face of his wife. Although, actually his heart was feeling satisfied because he recognized the surprised look of the man before him. However, Lean's jealousy was even greater. Nay! No one should stare at his wife for long.

“Mr Vargas, are you okay?” lean asked deliberately even though he knew enough about what had happened to the man. “Mr Vargas!” call Lean in a slightly raised tone because the middle-aged man was unconscious.

Yes, the one who had directly approached them back then was Mr. Vargas himself. Seeing Lean in the doorway, the man then left his chat with other colleagues. Lean was one of his guests of honor. Therefore, he himself approached the SG leader.

“Oh, yes ... You ask me something, Mr Sanjaya?” ask Mr. Vargas a little unfocused.

Lean smiled slightly. “Yes, I think it looks like you're out of focus, Mr. Vargas.”

“Oh, that .. sorry, but honestly I was too fascinated to see the beautiful woman beside you,” said Mr. Vargas plainly.

Oh, sh*it!

Lean chuckled between the hardened jaws. His hands clenched Caitlyn's waist more and more possessively. He had to hold his heart and break his jealousy to be emotionless upon hearing another man's praise of his wife. Moreover, he must understand because the man is the real father of the wife.

Patience, Lean. This is his father, not another. Hold on, Lean ....

“Include, Mr Vargas, this is my wife!” Short, solid, and uncaring. He stared at his palace for a moment with a gentle setting. “Honey, this is Mr. Vargas, a new client who just teamed up with Sanjaya Group recently,” explains Lean.

Mr. Vargas directly extended his hand without awkwardness. “William Vargas's. Nice to meet you, Mrs Sanjaya.”

Caitlyn stared for a moment at Lean asking for approval through the look in her eyes because of the grip on her waist, sending a bad signal from her husband for the beautiful pregnant woman. Once he got a small smile and seemed forced, Caitlyn also welcomed the middle-aged man's hand in front of him.

“Caitlyn Sanjaya. Nice to meet you too, Mr. Vargas,” Caitlyn said with a charming little smile.

Not wanting to make her husband inflamed, the woman quickly let go of his hand with a slight force from Mr. Vargas' grip. He could feel the middle-aged man's grip strengthening, but strangely he was not angry and did not feel uncomfortable at all.

The middle-aged man's grip gave Caitlyn a slightly different taste when making physical contact with a man other than her husband.

Strange ... Inner Caitlyn.

“Caitlyn?” Mr. Vargas's forehead shriveled as he spoke the name again. Gazel eyes of the beautiful woman in front of him.

Why can it be the same? Ah, that name, ‘kan, much.

Mr. Vargas was a little jolted from his daydream. “Ah, no. I'm just surprised to hear your wife's name, Mr. Sanjaya.” Once again the man looked at Caitlyn and then said goodbye from there. “Em, please enjoy this event, Mr. Sanjaya. Excuse me to go there for a moment,” he added and passed away.

One corner of Lean's lips lifted up feeling satisfied because it managed to splash doubt on Mr. Vargas. Though that satisfaction must be at war and vying with each other the same jealousy dominates.

It's just the beginning. Let's see how far you can survive behind your false identity, Cecilia.

Lean then led Caitlyn to the seat that had been prepared in the front row. Not long after the host sounded the mic from the front inviting all attention.

“Goodnight dear invited guests. Please pay attention for a moment because on this occasion, there is an important thing to be conveyed by Mr and Mrs Vargas.” The guide turned to the middle-aged couple there. “Please, Mr and Mrs Vargas.”

The madam smiled and received the mic proffered to her. The look on his face really radiated happiness, inversely proportional to Mr. Vargas who had not been able to look at Caitlyn from up there with an uneasy setting.

“Firstly my family and I would like to thank you for attending our family event tonight. And on this occasion too, I would like to introduce someone to all of you. Someone who has long been separated from my life and family, and we just rediscovered it because of that, we want to share this joy together.”

Mrs Vargas paused and tilted her head to call someone standing at the end of the stage, whose gesture was slightly covered by the curtain.

“Honey, come here!” call him softly.

All eyes were then fixed on one figure who stepped slowly towards the place where Mr and Mrs Vargas stood. Once his entire body was seen, it was precisely Caitlyn who was made flabbergasted.

“Cecilia?” he said slowly, then suddenly grabbed Lean's arm firmly.

Lean was not surprised because she knew this was going to happen.She let Caitlyn with her shock.

“Honey, the dia–”

“This is Caitlyn Vargas, our daughter who went missing seventeen years ago,” Mrs Vargas said with a free tear.

The clapping of the invited guests instantly made the Vargas family so blue. It was different from Caitlyn's current expression. The pregnant woman was getting shocked and suddenly dizzy.

Catching another stunt from his wife, Lean clasped her fingers tightly with one hand, and the other stroked her back.

“Quiet, Darling. Remember my words, hm,” said Lean softly.

“Al, so they ... they ..” Caitlyn was unable to continue her words.

“Iya, Darling. They're your family.” Lean admitted all that.

“Then Cecilia and Auntie Sani manipulated all this? And you know everything, Al?”

Lean stroked his wife's back and gave a brief kiss on her head.

“Iya, Darling. I-i know. Therefore I brought you here so that you know everything without the need to explain at length.” Lean paused. “And not only that, I also want to show you to them and see how strong the inner bond between you is. Do you remember Mr Vargas' expression?” lean and Caitlyn asked.

Ah, so here's the answer. I feel comfortable with that hand. Turns out he ...

For a moment the beautiful woman tried to dampen the turmoil in her heart. Repeatedly he inhaled as much oxygen as possible and released it with a rough gust.

Suddenly he smiled and got up from his seat making Lean flinch.

“Why, Dear?” ask Lean.

“Can I go up there and congratulate them, Honey?” Caitlyn asked back with a dazzling smile. But trust me, his heart is not okay. His world was like a lumpalitan at this moment.

“Of course, My dear!”

With a smile that was no less charming than his wife, Lean rose to hold Caitlyn's hand and headed for the stage.
