Duren's charm, my friend's Dad
Chapter 36

Edward did not answer again. He just spoke earlier.

"What the hell Om, don't make it up. Lila doesn't want a stepmother. I don't want to be my own friend's stepmother either. I'm still young like this, haven't pantes to be mothers."

"When many are waiting in line to become Lila's stepmother. You really don't want to?" Edward Goda.

"Hmm, I don't want to let Lila down."

"Do you know why my ex-wife's attitude is like that to Lila?"

Fanya shook her head, "Because she doesn't love her own children, is selfish and has no feelings."

"Hahaha, yes you're right. But there's one thing that definitely makes him that way. She has another child with her husband now. So he probably loves the kid more. So why does Lila always say she doesn't want to have a stepmother, doesn't want me to remarry is because she's afraid that after I get married, my attitude will change like her mother. Prefer to new people, especially if until I have another child with my wife later. Lila would definitely be much more hurt."

"Actually I'm not just giving up, I'm still looking for a woman who might be able to make Lila change her mindset. Can love Lila like a mother and give what Lila can't all this time."

Fanya nodded in understanding, it must be hard to find a woman who truly loves Lila. Most would just like the papa alone, not with his daughter. Though most people would have known that Edward was a widower with one daughter.

...

A few days after the party. Edward actually kept his promise to pay all the debts and help Fanya's sister's medical expenses even find a better doctor. Especially from abroad. And give Indra a job. Yes, just yesterday Indra suddenly got a work call. This was because Fanya had him submit a job application to Edward's company, of course, at the man's behest. Because Fanya doesn't want her family to know about her agreement with the man. So he wants everything to go as natural as possible.

Fanya was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after such a long time. He also did not lose anything in a relationship with the man, even more fortunately. The man only called her if there was a business meeting or banquet like that time. After that day, no more calls from Edward.

However, there is one thing that still holds Fanya's heart. Yes, it's about Lila. He had to be very careful when he was in front of his friend. Like a thief afraid of being caught.

Fanya woke up from her daydream. "What did you say?"

"Hufftt, lazy ah. You will not be horrified again." Still pouting.

"Sorry, I didn't intentionally. Suddenly the thought of something became dreamy. What did you tell me? Why is there a problem?" ask Fanya.

"Hmm you know, I met my Mom yesterday."

"Yahukk!!" Fanya choked suddenly.

"Are you all right, Him? Geez, slow down dong." Lila stood up and approached her friend to pat the girl on the back.

"Udah, it's okay." Fanya smiled stiffly. "So where did it go? Who did you meet yesterday?"

"Meet Mamah, she's sure to see you first. Huff!!"

"It's not good, maybe your mom has changed."

"No, he hasn't changed at all. He did not tell me at all how, do I eat well, just a pleasant talk too. He's talking about papah, it's weird."

Fanya's heart started beating.
