Cruel Mafia Vs Cool Mafia
Chapter 82 | Grandpa Jerome

The next day...

“Welcome, Pa. Papa has not been here for a long time.” Cavan welcomes the arrival of Jerome—kakek Eiden— with joy. The man with the whole whitened hair was Cavan's biological father.

“Welcome, Grandpa.” Eiden hugged Jerome for a while before returning to his wife's side. “Honey, knowin. This is Grandpa Jerome, grandpa from papa.”

Kyra smiled politely and nodded her head at the man. He silently observed Jerome's appearance from top to bottom. It was already inedible with age, but the rest of the aura of the man's leadership was still there.

“Grandpa Buyut!” exclaim Emily who went down the stairs of the mansion quickly. Jerome laughed softly, then tried to look down to welcome his favorite great-granddaughter's loud embrace. “Grandfather Buyut, Emily kangen loh.”

“Grandpa also misses Princess,” reply Jerome quietly.

Not long after, Darren followed in the family gathering. The little guy did not say a word his lips were confused to say anything.

“Grandfather Buyut, this is Brother Darren! Brother Emily.” Emily pulls Darren to stand in front of Jerome.

This is the first time Jerome has met Kyra and Darren. During his grandson's wedding, Jerome's condition was not okay. As a result, the old man was not allowed to return to Indonesia. During this time, Jerome lived in one of the German cities.

“Halo, Kek,” greet Darren politely.

Jerome reviewed a small smile. His wrinkled hands moved rubbing Darren's head. “Halo too, Son. Your name is Darren?”

Darren nodded. “Iya. Darren Gerald Kennedy.”

Jerome turned to look at Eiden. “He's your stepson, right, Eid?”

“Ya, Cake.”

“Yah. alright.” Jerome stood aided by Cavan. “Grandfather hope, you still remember your position in this family. Foreign blood is a little less welcome here,” said the man without burden.

Suddenly the sentence made the look on Kyra and Darren's face turn flat. Eiden let out a rough sigh, while Cavan and Abigail could only keep quiet. They obviously can't do anything. Jerome's character is stubborn once— to exceed the stone. The man would not be able to be advised in any way.

Darren smiled obliquely. “Sure, Cake, I will always remember my position in this family.”

Jerome nodded in satisfaction. “Good.”

“Then take care of yourself Grandpa. Fear tomorrow is no longer breathing because of high blood pressure.” Darren grinned, mocking Jerome who was squealing in annoyance. The boy sauntered away, not at all feeling hurt at Jerome's words.

Jerome sizzles cynically. “Where did you get that kid, Eiden? No manners at all,” his lips.

“Kek, already. Darren's my son too,” reply Eiden caught off guard.

“Yes, stepson,” errata Jerome. “There is no blood of our family in the child's body, Eiden.”

“But, Kek—”

“Udah, enough! Grandpa came here because he wanted to see Roby. Where is he?”

Eiden and Cavan could only sigh heavily. It would be hard to persuade Jerome to accept Darren's presence. The old man did not know that the boy he was taunting had an above average level of intelligence with great ability at his seventh age.

“Let me drop off, Kek.” Eiden turned to look at Kyra who was still wearing a flat expression. “Honey, I'm going to the basement first, yeah. You're in sin—”

“I'm coming.”

“Honey, but you—”

“Cute,” press Kyra Sharp. The woman's face was really cold.

Eiden took a long breath. Having no choice, he nodded.

Jerome who saw that was about to interrupt. However, the pat on his shoulder from Cavan made the old man undo the intention. Jerome does not know the identity of Kyra who is the head of the Black Rose mafia.

Eiden's grandfather stared fixedly at Kyra. Her green eyeballs are so pretty, matching her swing level. However, the highlight was really cold. Is it because he gave the woman's son that call?

...💫💫💫...

In the basement...

“Halo, Son.”

The man, Roby, raised his head up. The parasites look sad and sad, the eyes look empty, as if the spirit of the man's life has been pulled out of the body. His body was sitting in a corner of the prison with stumped legs and fingersless hands.

“I Jerome, your grandfather,” said Jerome gently. The old man crouched down in front of Roby.

Roby chuckles bitterly. “Grandfather? Sorry, I don't have a grandpa.”

Jerome shakes. “I am indeed your grandfather. You're Nicko's son, right?”

Roby's speechless.

“Your father.. is my son. You. are my grandson.” Jerome stretched out his hand to rub Roby's head slowly. “Sorry, Grandpa never came.”

“Long.. You lied! You're not my grandfather!” roby's screams don't believe it.

Jerome took a long breath. It is difficult to convince anyone of this. “Your grandmother... used to trap me with medicine. At that time, I wanted to kill your grandmother, but my wife did not allow it because at that time your grandmother was pregnant with your papa.”

“After your father was born, your grandmother became more and more so. He bullied my wife and acted like a mistress, at that time my wife and I allowed your grandmother to stay with us because of your father. My wife died because of your grandmother. For not accepting, I.. killed your grandmother and it turns out your father saw the incident.” Jerome breathed heavily. His chest tightened every time he remembered the past. He felt guilty for letting the wife he loved hang out with that brash woman.

“Your father hated me afterwards. When he grows up, he chooses the wrong path. Hence, he never told me about you and your brother.” Jerome looked at Roby. “Grandfather is sorry, Son. Because of this parenting problem, you as a young child were dragged into it.”

Roby didn't say anything. He was still quite shocked by this truth. If this man really is his grandfather, then Eiden is his cousin?

“Grandfather hope, you can reflect on your mistakes here. Grandpa will try to ask Eiden to get you out later.” Jerome got up and patted Roby's head twice. “Your sister is fine. Grandpa told the doctor to check on her. After this, you will also be checked.”

“Grandfather go first.” Jerome turned around, leaving Roby with all the rage in his heart. Arriving outside the custody, Jerome smiles seeing Cavan, Eiden, and Kyra looking at him meaningfully. “Yahh. No need to be leveraged.”

“So.. Roby's my cousin?” ask Eiden slowly.

“Ya.”

“Oh, God.” Eiden rubbed his face rough. He never knew about this. Not much different from Cavan. The middle-aged man was also shocked to learn of a fact that had been hidden for decades.

“There's a reason why Papa never told me, son.” Jerome patted Cavan on the shoulder. “Papa hope you understand.”

...💫💫💫...

Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit!

Where did this kid come from?!

Jerome had been mumbling for an hour. While his interlocutor—who is none other than a 7-year-old boy— is grinning with satisfaction. Cavan ranted beside the father, taunting the man for losing a chess game to Darren.

“Sok won, original lost,” pout Darren.

Jerome screeching. “We play again. This time I will win.”

“Kalo Darren won, Darren dapet what?” challenge Darren with a big smile. The sneaky grin is already attached. Cavan who memorized his granddaughter's temperament could only laugh inwardly.

“What do you want?” ask Jerome back.

“One million dollar maybe?” Darren laughed crisply. “Deal?”

Jerome screeching. A million dollars, he said? That's a little for him! “Fine! If I win, you also give me 1 million dollars.”

“Okay.”

48 Minutes later...

“ARRGGHHH.... why lose again?!!” jerome's chirping doesn't take.

Darren and Cavan laughed in satisfaction. The two are fighting together.

“One million dollars waiting, My dear grandfather.”

^^^To be continuous...^^^

“Then, my wife how, Doc?”

The doctor breathed heavily. “Sorry, Young Master. For now, the condition of your wife..”.
