Duren's charm, my friend's Dad
Chapter 35

POV author

They left before the banquet was over. Fanya's in trouble with a pretty influential person. So Edward decided to take her home because he didn't want to fuss and affect her reputation.

"We're okay to go home first?" ask Fanya feel guilty. He should have been more careful not to embarrass Edward.

"Hmm, you thought that woman would just shut up after you made trouble with her. We better get going before he gets the problem widened everywhere. I told you to be careful and not get away from me" Edward said a little annoyed that the girl ignored his warning.

"Sorry Om, I just wanted to eat. I really didn't intentionally do that. It was actually the woman who hit me when I turned around" Fanya said honestly, it was actually like that but she did not tell me the truth earlier. He just apologized and admitted his mistake because he felt it was useless to explain, they would definitely not believe.

"Why do you apologize if you are innocent. Are you already bod0h!! You shouldn't let others step on your pride."

"Om can say that, but I might have that kind of courage. Indeed who I am, they will definitely assume I remain wrong despite explaining."

"You're my partner, did you forget. You came there with me, which means you don't have to bow your head to anyone else."

Fanya just smiled faintly.

"Do you know that woman, she seems to know Om?"

"Don't you feel like he looks like someone?" Edward asked back.

"Om, he can't possibly—"

"It seems you already know, yes it is as you think."

"So right, she's Lila's birth mother? His face looks very similar. His eyes, nose and lips are like Lila." Fanya was very surprised to know this. So she just met Lila's divorced mother Edward, the woman who left her daughter and son only for treasure.

"They are indeed very similar, but fortunately only her face is similar because Lila's nature is more decreased than mine. You've seen for yourself how he behaves, I'm sorry I loved him." Edward chuckled to himself considering how cute he was to his ex-wife even to the point of crying and begging when she wanted to leave.

"Ohh, yes I who just met can feel his bad attitude. Does Lila still see her mother often?"

"I never forbade him from meeting his mother, they were also free to communicate. But what I saw, the woman treated Lila like her daughter. Never called first, if it wasn't Lila who called him. Meeting is also very rare. If I used to notice Lila like always begging her mother so that she could come back or so they could meet but over time maybe Lila was tired because it turns out the woman was always looking for a reason to refuse meet."

"Geez, how sorry Lila is. There could be a mother who would do that to her own child." Fanya is not out of thought with women who are more chasing the world when he does not bring it to death. Even wasted a princess as good as Lila. "If I were her mother, Lila would be proud to have such a good and beautiful daughter as Lila."

"Then you're the mother."

"Well! What does Om mean?"
