Daddy's Naughty Hands
Chapter 17: The Trash Wedding

Dressed in a neat suit that is usually worn for work, Mark walked at a fast pace through the aisle of his company office. Beside him was Todd who always faithfully accompanied wherever he went.

Suddenly his mother came to see him. It was something that the middle-aged woman rarely did. Mrs Regis should have been too busy to just make a pleasant visit to Mark's company. The woman has a busy schedule to manage her business in several countries.

"Please come in, Mr. Mark!" said Mrs Regis.

With her graceful style the woman sat in the office room while drinking tea brought by her men.

Mark looked lazy to meet the woman. Despite being her own biological mother, their relationship is not good.

"You all come out for a minute. I want to talk to my son!" lady Regis' orders to the three subordinates who went with her.

They obeyed immediately what Lady Regis had ordered.

"Todd, you're out too!" Mrs Regis also told Todd to come out.

Todd was just obedient to Mark. He glanced at his boss to get an answer

"Just get out first. Let me face this," said Mark.

Todd according. Mark and Mrs Regis are in the room.

"Sit down, don't be so stiff with your own mother" said Mrs Regis, who watched her son stand up.

"What do you want?"

Mark is lazy to talk. He just wanted to know what his mother meant to come there. There was no way the woman would have come if it wasn't for some important business.

Lady Regis smiled. "Does a mother have a special reason to see her son?" tanyakanya.

"Not to pretend. Just tell me what your mother's arrival means to see me!" refute Mark.

Lady Regis was no longer surprised by her son's attitude. Mark is a boy who likes to argue a long time ago.

"All right, if that's what you want. I also do not want to linger disturbing your work," he said.

"Someone told me that my son seemed to be bringing a foreign woman home. Is that true?" ask Mrs Regis.

Mark thought it would be known, too. One who works at his home will surely leak it to his mother.

"Have you forgotten the promise not to interfere in my personal affairs?"

Mrs Regis doesn't look like it. "When will you realize? Can't you be loyal to your wife and focus on your son? You don't pity them?"

"For 15 years I've maintained this garbage marriage just for Mom's ambition. Is all that still not enough?" Mark clenched his hands in annoyance.

"How dare you say your own marriage is a garbage wedding?" Lady Regis got up from her seat. He came to the son who would not sit with him. Their eyes clashed against each other as if they wanted to show annoyance at each other.

"Then what should I call a wedding?" ask Mark. "A forced marriage is for your own benefit only. Do you ever feel guilty about robbing my youth and dreams? No one's cruel Mom forced an 18-year-old to get married for business!"

Lady Regis slapped a slap hard on Mark's cheek. "You think it's easy to be in mom's position?" he raised his voice, feeling unaccepted with the objection of the son.

"Your father died, your brother died, I single-handedly reorganized the family legacy business that was almost destroyed! If your sister's alive, why did you ask for your help?"

"Did you not have a sense of responsibility as a child to protect your mother? Your family's the only one right now? Or do you want to see your mother die?"

"If it wasn't for the Wilson family, I don't know what would happen to our family!" Madam Regis could not bear to let out the anger that was in her heart.

Mark was silent at the anger of his mother. What the woman said was not entirely wrong. However, thanks to the mother's selfishness, for 15 years Mark felt the suffering in his life. He had to go through a completely unwanted journey.

"Mom just need to close my eyes and pretend not to know with my behavior all this time. I promised to keep both families' good names, and also maintain my household as you see fit" Mark relented.

"At least you should visit your wife and children more often. Don't let the Wilson family put any suspicion on you" Regis said.

"Yes. I'll work on it" said Mark in a limp tone.

"Never forget to wear a sepsi counter. I don't want those cheap women you slept with until they got pregnant. One day it will be very difficult to deal with" Mrs Regis said.

Mrs Regis has not once received reports of her son changing women out there. His son was a wild child. However, this time his son brought a woman home. Mrs Regis cannot remain silent.

Mark purposely made out with many different women to make his mother angry and decided on his business marriage. However, what the mother does is not like that, but rather get rid of the women who had been close to her.

"Mom won't admit if you have a child with another woman, Mark. If you want another child, do it with your own wife so she can give birth to more children and further enlarge our family business."

"Well! Are you going to force your grandchildren to get married for business? That's really ridiculous!"

Mark chuckles. She had experienced trauma from forced marriage. If the same thing should happen to his children later, he better not have children.

"We need to be realistic, Mark. Love is nothing but an obscure form. You're very mature for adult thinking."

Mark is in his 30s. However, his soul seemed to still be stuck in his 18s.

"Is that all I want to say?" ask Mark.

Madam Regis nodded. "Mom said again. I will not confess your son from the womb of a woman other than your wife. Remember that, Mark!" madame Regis.

"Then, I'll go out now. Todd scheduled my meeting with Mr. Kim this afternoon" Mark said.

"Yes! Keep your work focused. Don't let those cheap women disturb your concentration."

Not wanting longer to listen to the words of his mother, Mark immediately turned his body. He stepped out of the room that felt like a burning furnace.

Mark often orders paid women. But he never slept with them. According to him, the woman he met was the same as his mother.

Jessy was the first woman he ever slept with. Plain face and young age can treat his longing for youth. He wants to feel in love and heart pounding like he ever felt when he was with Jessy.
