Black Shadow: Gangster X Family
Unresolved

Brak!

"You guys...!"

Chloe emerges from behind the kitchen door, Chloe's voice attracting the members' attention.

"Why did you come straight in here without your excuse?" Devian furrowed an eyebrow noticing Chloe's presence there.

Chloe ignored Devian's question, For a moment she turned to the living room as if she was confirming something. Feeling safe, she hurried to close the kitchen door so that her parents would not hear their conversation.

"Just ignore why I came here. There's something worse you need to know!" Chloe said seriously, Approaching the dining table where the members are.

Everyone just kept quiet waiting for Chloe's next words.

"I need your help, it's about our fake marriage. I want one of you to explain to my parents what really happened" Chloe clasped her sash bag tightly, still giving a serious expression.

"My father was angry when he found out that this marriage was a fake, they thought you were playing with this marriage,"

All the members there listened to Chloe's words and the girl's purpose.

"I thought it was going to be like this" Neil rubbed his chin as he scooped.

"Don't worry, Livian will explain it to your parents" Justin said calmly.

Livian who felt called out just sighed resignedly, He knew sooner or later he would definitely be appointed by Justin as their representative.

Chloe turned to Livian with a hopeful look. "Is that really Mr. Livian?"

"Yes, and you're acting too if everything I say is true for them to believe,"

"I see, I hope you don't use the powers of mind control anymore to manipulate them. I'm afraid that if you use it again, it could have an adverse effect on my parents" Chloe said anxiously.

"I can't promise, but I'll work on it," Before leaving, Livian ate her dinner for a bit. "Can you ask them to wait for me in a moment? I'll eat for a minute,"

"All right,"

Chloe turned around to open the doorknob, but Aiden called her from the dinner table.

"Cloe!"

"Yes?" Chloe's intention stopped, She turned to look at Aiden who was climbing up from her seat.

"Can help me make a drink for a while for your parents" Aiden gestured with his hand, inviting Chloe to follow him.

"Sure," Chloe smiled cheerfully, walking following Aiden's steps towards the dish shelf. He helped Aiden make the drink.

While the other members continue eating them, Felix looks at Chloe.

"Is it okay you let your parents in the living room? They must be confused because you didn't come back" Felix said occasionally chewing his food.

"It's okay, Lagian father and mother must be looking around the living room. It's possible, '" Chloe replied without turning her head, She finished preparing the drink and just put it on the tray.

"I'm done," Livian climbed up and immediately exited the kitchen to meet Chloe's parents.

Aiden takes the tray after Chloe puts down the drink. "Let me drop off the drink, you just follow Livian,"

Chloe gave a small nod, For a moment she looked at the other members who were still eating, Her gaze fixed on Ezra. While the man who got the gaze from Chloe was busy with his own food. Feeling noticed, her Emerland green Netra glanced at Chloe before focusing entirely on the girl.

Chloe gave a sweet smile, Unfortunately that smile was only met with a flat gaze by Ezra. The girl who felt it was impossible to get a smile from Ezra, decided to leave the kitchen room to catch up with Livian.

Aiden followed after letting Chloe go first, leaving the remaining members there.

"Is it okay to let Livian explain herself?" Ask Felix worried. "Can he make Chloe's parents believe?"

"I'm sure he can, I've explained it over and over again to him, too" Justin looked down at the empty plate in front of him. "If they ask for compensation then I'll be responsible for it,"

"You're taking it all by yourself?" Rea raised one eyebrow in surprise and was taken in by Justin.

"And I was the one who gave the deal from the beginning, even though it wasn't my fault. But I feel that I'm involved in this matter, so I'm not going to run away from responsibility" Justin replied seriously.

Hearing Justin's reply, All the members looked at him. Ian clasped tightly onto the spoon he was holding, Before the red net looked at Justin inside.

"While I still can't fully forgive Victor, but I feel like you're also trying to get Victor forgiven by us. I understand you're trying to help him earn our trust, just like we believe in you Justin,"

Ian climbed up who got a confused look from Justin.

"Victor, he was guilty in the past. But I think he's really sorry for what he did. Forgiving him is hard, but I hope you can really trust him" Justin lowered his head, slightly clutching his pants.

Devian still can't seem to forgive Victor, as well as Rion who immediately turned his eyes away. Ezra snorted angrily while sneaking and gazing in the other direction. Felix chose to remain silent, while Raizel and Ian began to forgive Victor a little, although not completely.

"I'm done,"

He walked away from there, intending to get out of the dorm to clear his mind.

******************

[Living room]

"We don't accept that you're treating our son like this!" Said Brian trying to calm down but in him wanted to explode because it held the anger.

"Yes, I've explained that we're divorced because we don't feel right for each other. I only realized it after marriage," Livian looked calmly, She understood that currently Chloe's father was holding back from getting angry in front of her.

"If it doesn't feel right why did you propose to my son at that time?! You want to make excuses so that I don't sue the authorities for this matter!" Brian's voice is now slightly elevated.

Elina chooses to let her husband introgate Livian, while Chloe has been sweating coldly since. He felt scared, afraid that his father would lose control and even hit Livian.

"I've told you the truth, if you don't believe just ask your child. Chloe also agreed to divorce with me, so we got divorced by mutual decision, "Livian casually looked at Chloe, encoding to justify all her words so that their troubles wouldn't continue.

Chloe who was stared at gasped for a few seconds before a quick nod confirmed Livian's words.

"Y-Yes, Mr. Livian is right. We divorced because we didn't feel right for each other, so we didn't feel hurt. This was purely due to a mutual decision," Chloe smiled thinly covering up her nervousness, Of course the reason for divorcing because she felt she did not fit each other was a mere alibi to cover up the real reason.

Precisely what actually happened, they divorced because some members still there who do not like his presence in the dormitory. Chloe also doesn't care about that if they don't like her presence, she can only support their decision.

"Then before you got divorced, you must have touched my son or at least kissed him. Just me!" Brian still does not believe in the words of Livian or Chloe.

"touch it? Pfft...!" Hearing that, Livian restrained her laughter, instantly getting confused looks from Brian and Elina. "Just touch it I never, How about a kiss,"

The man eased his slightly outgoing laughter, A cold smile slanted on his lips. "If I really did those two things, what would my uncle and aunt want me to do? Kill me for touching your son?"

Brian clenched his hand, Seeing Livian's cold smile made Brian feel like he was going to beat the guy up.

Livian was still smiling coldly, Highlight his eyes that were usually staring lazily was now sharpening like an eagle. "It's not natural between husband and wife, if I touch her I won't divorce and run away from responsibility!"

"But because I didn't do anything to her at all, This is our decision, a divorce," added Livian still with sharp eyes.

Brian began to soften, He noticed Chloe's tense face for a moment before looking back at Livian.

"So you really didn't do anything to my son," Brian's tone calmed down, He could control his emotions.

"Yes," Livian was silent for a moment, With a calm expression she reopened her voice. "Does my uncle and aunt really wish I could get a grandchild out of your child?" Her question without the slightest embarrassment, pure Livian asked frontally. Without any hidden intent in it.

Livian's question only made Chloe scream inwardly with a look of horror.

"Yyyyy...! Mr. Livian why are you asking her frontally anyway? Without feeling ashamed and in front of my parents anyway!" Chloe cried inwardly, It feels like she wants to cry in shame right then and there.

While Elina's face was red as a ripe tomato, In the depths of her heart she really wanted to have a granddaughter as soon as possible, But considering Chloe is still unstable even though the girl's age is 21 years old makes Elina feel sorry if she tells Chloe to quickly have children, He will be patient waiting for the age of the child is at least 25 or 26 years. In Elina's eyes, Chloe was like a 17-year-old.

If Brian, he immediately fell silent after hearing Livian's frontal question.

"Not really..," Brian turned his gaze away, hiding his flushed face. She actually wants to have a grandchild too.

But she has more pity for Chloe than ever, The boy has yet to achieve his dream. Not even in college, Brian did not want to force his son to quickly marry again.

"Then our decision is not wrong, right? It meant that this matter was already resolved and agreed on by both sides," Livian returned with a calm expression.

Brian and Elina nodded in resignation, There's no more reason for them to interrogate Livian deeper, and Chloe doesn't seem to be taking issue with that.

So the three of her uphill intend to leave the dorm.

"The color of the problem is over. We say back home, Sorry if our arrival was very sudden without telling you before," said Elina representing Brian and Chloe.

Livian stood up and slightly bowed her body. "It doesn't matter, at least as long as your son lives here. She's fine,"

"Well, we'll excuse yourself," Brian bowed a little before stepping up to go home.

But his steps came to a halt when he saw Ian standing beside the vase, The red-faced man looked as cold as ever.

Brian glued, So surprised when he saw the figure of Ian. The red net with black hair made Brian remember someone familiar.

Elina fell silent and was surprised because she felt as if she had felt familiar with Ian, a woman who resembled the man.

Chloe who saw both her parents speechless, looked at the astonishment. He was meeting with Livian who seemed to be astonished as well. Until Brian's voice resuscitated everyone in the room.

"You...!"
