Behind The Divorce
Chapters 80. The Price That Should Be Paid

Seeing the beautiful and moving scenery, Lean smiled and joined in.

“What Lean is no longer loved by Grandma?” lean asked with a slightly bent face, pretending to be sulky.

Caitlyn chuckles at hearing that and releases Grandma Sanju's embrace. He understood that the man also missed his grandmother. Remembering the story of Hadya where her disappearance two months ago made Grandma Sanju angry and did not want to see Lean.

It is certain that two people who loved each other since long ago also missed each other.

“Who said? You still remain and will always be Lean grandmother's favorite,” replied Grandma Sanju.

“Oh, yeah? Even though Lean already has a child?” ask Lean again.

The man is now crouching with both knees bent in front of Grandma Sanju's wheelchair.

“Of course. Whatever it is can never change Grandma's affection for you, Lean.” Sanju's grandmother placed her hand over Lean's head, then rubbed it.

“But yesterday grandma was angry and didn't want to see me,” said the handsome-faced man who will soon become a father.

“Yes, that's a punishment and a lesson for you for hurting your wife. If Grandma hadn't done that, you would never have wanted to find your wife and you would never have been able to realize how you felt. Yes, ‘kan?” Sanju's grandmother's hands cupped Lean's cheeks gently.

Lean smiled and nodded. The man held Grandma Sanju's hand that was still stuck to his cheek, while looking at the wrinkled face in front of him lovingly.

“Thank you, Grandma. Thank you for always showing and leading Lean to the right path.” After speaking to her grandmother, Lean turned to look at her father. “Still too, Pa. For such incredible patience in dealing with Lean and also opening Lean's eyes that Lean can realize Lean's true feelings,” Lean said so sincerely.

The man took his hand off the grandmother. In a kneeling position, he again grabbed his father's hand.

“Still a lot, Pa. It's been a great Papa for Lean all this time. Thank you for taking care of Caitlyn and our baby so incredibly, Pa. Lean is grateful and proud to have Papa.” That word sounded vibrating.

Lean looked down and kissed her father's hands. Grandma Sanju saw that smiling in tears. And Caitlyn too. Hadya asked her son to stand up.

“Thank you just not enough, it's all a price to pay. Isn't that right, Mommy?” Hadya asked her mother, but looked straight at her son with a smiling face.

Lean's forehead shriveled confused by the words of the father. Just like her husband, Caitlyn was also confused at the words of her father-in-law.

“Mean, Papa?” lean asked with eyes that were now squeaking.

“Yes, Papa means what?” Caitlyn asked.

The pregnant woman felt strange about what her father-in-law said. Sure enough, a man as good as Hadya expected pay for everything he did for his own son? Was he that cruel? Nope, no. Caitlyn doesn't believe in any of this. That's the impossible.

Hadya did not answer. The middle-aged man glanced at the clock on his wrist.

“We eat first. Papa is very hungry. Lean also had to eat and take medicine. Later will papa answer your questions after that,” said Hadya so relaxed.

“Come!” invite Grandma Sanju to see Caitlyn and Lean as she looks up. “Come, Lean! Your face is so pale. Quickly eat and take your medicine.” Again Grandma Sanju took the two.

“Ok,” reply Lean briefly.

They also ate together at lunch time which was actually over. Hadya was very happy with this kind of atmosphere. For a very long time the dining room felt empty and today, everything is back to how it was with a much better version in the view of Hadya.

“Eat a lot more, Caitlyn. Grandma's great-grandmother has to grow strong and healthy in there,” orders Grandma Sanju to see Caitlyn who doesn't seem too tasteful to eat.

“I'm still full, Grandma. I also ate a lot at the hospital.” Caitlyn refused subtly.

“That's right, Hady?” ask Grandma Sanju to her son.

Hadya smiled and nodded. “Yes, that's right, Mother. If not Lean who feeds may not run out as well.” Hadya's reply made Caitlyn feel extremely embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Lean seemed ordinary not to care about her father's words. He even deliberately wanted to feed Caitlyn once more, but Hadya's voice stopped the man's actions.

“Ehm. Lean, Caitlyn, where are your divorce proceedings?” ask Hadya suddenly.

Lean immediately stopped chewing and pulled her hand that had wanted to feed Caitlyn. Before answering her question, she looked at Caitlyn's beautiful face. Can Lean see the stiff and uncomfortable expression drawn there.

“Hm, don't know, Pa. Until now we have not received a letter from the court.” Lean pressed her shoulder. “But, can we not talk about this again, Pa? Caitlyn and I have agreed to withdraw the divorce and want to refer to it,” explained Lean who now holds Caitlyn's hand.

Hadya nodded her head. “Good. But you don't have to do that because the files you filed never went to court,” Hadya replied calmly.

“Papa?” Lean and Caitlyn compact surprised. “So papa who removed that lawyer's trail?” guess Lean. He recalled several times contacting the lawyer and the man could not be reached. Lean was actually happy with this news.

Ah, thank goodness it was like that. Caitlyn was happy.

“Ya, right. Papa did that. But you don't have to be angry or happy. Like I said, it's not free. There is a price.” Again Hadya makes Caitlyn and Lean confused.

“What, anyway, Pa? Oh, so papa's not sincere about admitting all that to his own son? Tell me what Lean should do? How much should Lean pay papa?” Lean started to get emotional.

“Sabar, Al. Don't be angry, we heard Papa's explanation first, well.” Caitlyn tried to calm her husband down. He turned to his father-in-law. “So what should Caitlyn same Al do, Pa?” ask Caitlyn.

“You don't have to do anything. All you need to do is split up for a while!”

“Papa!” jolt Lean hard.

The man even stood up from his seat.

“What exactly is Papa referring to?”
