FORBIDDEN PASSION STEPCHILDREN
Chapters 16. Breakfasted

"What are you guys doing?" asked Arion in a voice full of emphasis.

Rico's hand that hugged Karen's waist spontaneously released the man. Karen's face looked pale. He's afraid to see Arion.

"I want to thank you for cooking my favorite meal" Rico said.

"By hugging her?" ask Arion again.

"Why, Pi? Is something wrong? I don't think it's wrong to hug Mami's body for a while. It was just an expression of gratitude," Rico said in a voice withholding emotion.

I want Rico to say that Karen's hers. However, for Rico this is not the right time. She was afraid that her Papa would hurt Karen.

"It feels strange to express your gratitude. If it's with a biological mom, it might not matter."

"I just wanted to surprise Mami. If I want to do all kinds of things why should I stay at home" Rico said.

Arion looked at the faces of his son and Karen. He actually did not believe Rico's words. However, the man tried to convince his heart, otherwise it was impossible for Rico to betray him. Whatever Rico hates about him will definitely not do that crazy thing.

Karen with slow steps served their breakfast menu. There is a favorite Acehnese fried noodle Rico. Arion remembers very well if it was his son's favorite menu.

"Rico's right, if Karen cooks her favorite menu. I have to trust my son. There's no way he's going to do anything crazy in this house" Arion said in his heart.

After serving breakfast and drinking for Arion, the three of them had breakfast silently without a sound. Each one dissolves in each other's mind.

Arion stood up from his seat after eating breakfast. Karen cuisine is delicious. Even when compared to mami Rico cuisine, Karen cuisine is much more delicious.

"I'm pampering. These two days I'll be out of town. Don't do anything weird" Arion said, aimed at Rico and Karen.

Karen walked up to Arion her husband. She felt it and did not forget to kiss her husband's hand. Arion kissed the woman's forehead and two cheeks.

"Non't go anywhere. I went two or three days. After that we will take care of your passport. We're going on a honeymoon soon.

Karen simply replied by nodding her head. His voice felt in his throat. He was still afraid of the incident.

After Arion walks and disappears from his sight, Karen sits down again. His body feels weak. He was very scared of Arion. Her father once said she had to follow what her husband said to keep her life safe.

Karen did not understand what her father meant. What is certain is that my father always said that he was not married to a random man. She must obey her husband. Karen's father often apologized for having to involve her into this matter. But father has no other choice, if Karen does not marry Arion, she will be imprisoned.

Rico hugged Karen's waist back, making the woman's daydream stop. He looked at the man with sadness.

"What are you afraid of, honey?" ask Rico.

"But must have been suspicious after seeing you hug me" Karen said.

"Fast or long, Papi will also know our relationship. Just waiting for time. We have to be ready for that."

"My father always said, if I don't make Papi you're angry. He can do something we never thought of" Karen said slowly.

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you if Papi dares to touch you."

Rico hugged Karen again without fear of anyone seeing and reporting on her Papi.

"Now you are ready. We're going to your father's village. My man has found your father's whereabouts" Rico said.

"really?" Karen was immediately happy to hear the news.

"Of course."

Spontaneously the woman hugged Rico. Draw happiness from his face. After that, Karen ran up the stairs to her room. He can't wait to meet his father.
