Camouflage Love of the CEO
CHAPTER 21 Coffee Shop

The day after Clara met Elena. Clara came to see Rose. "Tante, there's something I want to talk about."

"Clara, haven't seen you in a long time." Rose hugged Clara affectionately. "Sit down." Rose invited Clara, they sat in the living room of Ricci's residence.

"Emm, first I want to apologize to Auntie because I can't maintain my relationship with Merrik. I cheated on him." Clara lowered her head in embarrassment.

Rose held Clara's hand. "Tante knows that, Om Ricci told Aunt that you were in a relationship with Pras."

"Auntie's not angry?" Clara lifted her head.

"For what Aunt is mad at you. You are free to choose who you love. It's your fault, you didn't cut ties with Merrik first. Rice has become porridge, you also deserve to be happy."

"Yes, therefore until now Merrik has not forgiven me and Pras. Before I accepted Pras' love, I had tried to maintain my relationship with Merrik, I had always instilled in myself that he would love me, she said, but for four years there was never any love for me until Pras came to me."

"Not to think about it. Later Merrik will forgive you, if you have found his love. You're just here to tell me this?" ask Rose.

"No, I met Merrik yesterday and his new girlfriend."

"New love?" ask Rose enthusiastically.

"Yes, a girl who just graduated high school."

"really? It means he can forgive you, he already has a replacement for you."

"I hope so. But ...." Clara hesitated to continue her words.

"Why?" Rose saw the doubt on Clara's face.

Clara looked at Rose. "They live together and seem to have done something like a husband and wife relationship."

"What?" rose was surprised.

"How is it possible, I educated her to preserve the honor of women."

"As long as I'm with me Merrik has never done anything out of bounds."

"Is it possible that Merrik has found his true love?"

"I hope she's sincere, that girl's named Elena. Being a freshman at our college, she lived a kara, Merrik brought her from the village and they lived together. I got the information from Elena's mouth directly."

"If that's what you're talking about, I'll tell Om Ricci. Let them marry."

"Tante doesn't mind if Merrik marries a poor country girl like Elena?"

"What is the objection! The most important thing is Merrik's happiness. I'm not from the top."

"I hope Merrik really loves her, I'm afraid she's just using Elena's love!"

"What do you mean?" ask Rose in wonder.

"Emm, does Auntie know that Merrik really hates Auntie?"

"Of course I know, I hope that one day Merrik can accept me as his mother."

"Merric doesn't just hate you. However, she generalizes every poor girl is a wealth seeker who justifies all means."

"So you mean?" ask Rose.

"I'm afraid Merrik didn't sincerely love Elena and just took advantage of Elena."

Rose was surprised to hear Clara's words, she knew Merrik hated her so much because he thought Rose was the cause of her parents' divorce. But he never thought, Merrik would ruin a girl's future. "Thank you for the information."

"I'm sorry Auntie, I used to hate you too because Merrik always said you were the cause of his family's destruction. I don't know what's really going on, but after Auntie helped me, I'm sure Auntie was a good person."

"It's okay, it's not necessary to think about it."

Clara had hated Rose because of the story of Merrik who accused Rose of destroying her parents' household. However, at the time Clara almost got hit by a car, Rose pushed her and eventually Rose who was injured had to be taken to the hospital. From there Clara changed her gaze towards Rose and secretly they often met.

...****...

Elena sat at the coffee shop where she was waiting for Merrik to pick her up, which she did not know Merrik's parents were watching him in the corner of the room.

"Yes, it's the same look, right? The real thing is prettier than the picture," said Rose smilingly showing her phone to her husband. He had already asked his man to follow Elena.

"How long have they been together?"

"I don't know, Clara just said Merrik lived with a teenager."

"You don't mind if it's not Clara who's Merrik's wife?"

"For me Merrik's happiness is more important. Clara was a good boy, and she loved Merrik. However, our son who cannot love Clara, until Clara finds her love with Pras."

"I don't care if Merrik wants to marry any girl, as long as he's happy. But, Merrik never showed the girl, nor did I go to his office to offend the girl."

"Let's go there, I'd like to get to know the girl more."

Ricci and Rose are approaching Elena. "Can we sit here?" Ricci.

Elena looked at the middle-aged pair in front of her, her manic looking around, there were still many empty seats. He was confused as to why the two old men in front of him had asked to sit down with him. "Please Uncle, Aunt." Elena could not refuse the request of the older man.

Ricci and Rose sat in front of Elena, they gave a smile to her. "Hi, Elena," said Rose.

"Auntie, know my name?" elena asked in surprise.

"We're Merrik's parents" said Ricci.

"Oh, I'm sorry Auntie, Uncle for not recognizing you." Elena was nervous to meet her in-laws. Just thought about why all this time he had not asked the Merrik family.

"No need to apologize, Merrik hasn't introduced himself to us yet." Said Rose.

"How do Uncle and Auntie know I'm here?" ask Elena.

"It's not hard for us to know where you are!" Ricci. "How long have you been living together?" added Ricci in a very serious tone. Rose pinched Ricci's waist. "Don't scare him" Rose told Ricci.

"Elena, we don't have a problem with Merrik being in a relationship with anyone as long as he's happy, that's enough for us. But we don't allow Merrik to have a free relationship, one without marriage" Rose said.

"Actually ...." Elena's words came to a halt as Merrik's voice cut through her words.

"What are you guys doing here for?" merrik stared at Rose.

"Berrick," said Rose.

Merrik instantly drew closer to Elena and pulled her arm "Sister, they're Big Brother's parents. Be polite." Merrik didn't pry Elena's words while pulling her arm.

"Merrick stop! You can hurt him!" Ricci.

"It's none of your business, Dad."

"We can talk well, sit down."

"Nothing to talk about!"

Merrik kept pulling Elena's arm, until they were in a standing position.

"Why are you like this? Why didn't you tell us you were living with him? Why not introduce it?" Ricci.

"Because I didn't intend to introduce her!"

"What do you mean?" ask Ricci.

Merrik smiled smirk. "You know what I mean, Dad!" Merrik went to take Elena without looking at her parents.
