Forced Marriage With Duda
Starting close?

Glen and Josh are still in Laura's room, they're watching television here. While Laura was focused on her phone, Laura was also confused to invite them to do the exercise. Moreover, he did not know how to invite them to play. So as they kept quiet, he kept turning on the television.

From earlier he did not speak, a little guilty because he blatantly rejected their existence. But how else, he must be able to show an attitude if he does not want to be betrothed to Arsa. Arsa tells her to be kind to her children.

"What do you usually do at home?"

"To les's place."

"Les what?"

"Drawing, piano, language, math, and dance."

"You like to dance?"

"Josh only likes it."

"But not dancing for girls?" Laura's brows furrowed and she was intrigued by this conversation.

"Papa said, only low-minded people think that dancing is only for girls. Men can come like that too."

Laura grumbled, how could Arsa teach these kind of words to them. Really interesting, but now dance is not only applicable to women only. He was offended by yes, Glen's last sir, so he was a low-minded person?

"Why are you calling me?" ask Laura. He was confused as to what he would call himself to them.

"You said you were called mama didn't want. So we're wearing me and you."

"I'm older than you, does that seem polite?"

"We are also confused about what to call you, said papa you our new mama. But you don't want to be our new mama."

"Do you want a new mom like me? I'm not a good woman, I could even be a cruel stepmother. Like that cartoon story, aren't you guys afraid of that?"

"Of course not, why are we afraid. Papa said, you are good. You are loving, and you will love us. But unfortunately you don't live with us in papa's house."

Laura scratched her non-itchy head after a pretty awward conversation earlier. Rather than just silence, so there is no harm in asking like that. They called him by your name. For some people it is not polite, but for him it is ordinary.

He is not too concerned with nicknames, if heard the meaning is not strange okay. He looked at his watch, they were here for 2 hours. Arsa never came, meaning he was really busy at work.

Jeez, he had forgotten that he was from an influential clan, so he must have been busy working in his own company. True what his friends say, marry a handsome widower rich, like Arsa for example. He doesn't need to work and only accepts money.

Laura was sitting in the living room, playing with Glen and Josh, her future stepdaughter, probably. They played an exciting board game, laughing cheerfully as they took turns moving the little pawns. Laura joyfully taught them the rules of the game, while giving praise as they managed to make a smart move.

A warm atmosphere and familiarity were created between them, as if they already knew each other and had a strong bond. Laura feels happy to be a part of Glen and Josh's life, and she hopes that their togetherness will continue to grow and form strong family bonds.

Laura sat down with Glen and Josh in the living room, watching them play with joy. She felt like she wanted to deepen her relationship with them and asked warmly, "Hey, Glen, Josh, if I don't become your mother, what do you want to do?"

Glen, with a big smile, replied, "I want to keep playing board games together, and we can be good friends."

Josh, waving his hand, added, "I also want us to be able to go on adventures together, like cycling in the park or going to the beach."

Laura smiled and felt compelled to hear their answer. He clasped their hands gently and said, "Thank you, Glen and Josh. I'm so happy to be your mother, and we're gonna make so many great memories together."

Laura affectionately approached Glen and Josh. He hugged them tightly and said softly, "The two of you are very special to me. I want you to know that even though I am not your biological mother, I will always give you as much love and attention. You are an important part of my life, and I will always be there to support and protect you. I promise to create a future full of happiness and warmth for all of us. Let's forge strong bonds as a family, and let's love and cherish each other forever." Laura doesn't know if it's happening or not.

Glen and Josh smiled happily, feeling appreciated and loved by Laura. They feel the warmth of the genuine affection of their stepmother, and together they begin to build a strong and loving relationship in their new family.

Laura also did not expect the sentence to come out of her mouth, but when she saw the smiles of Glen and Josh made her feel loved. Even the smile was given them for free just because he said a pretty simple sentence. Poor them, from childhood do not get affection from a mother. He felt sinful because he had cursed Arsa.

Arsa has finished carrying out important meetings with several colleagues from various countries. Now he was out of the meeting place followed by some of his assistants and secretaries. He came out without showing his friendly face.

"After this what is my schedule?"

"My job is done."

"I'll be back home, if there's a problem, let me know soon."

"Good sir."

The car door was opened, with Arsa entering the car immediately. He told the driver to immediately drive this car to Laura's house. Feeling guilty for leaving Glen and Josh there for such a long time. He should have taken them to his parents' house.

But everything has already happened, let's just say this is the time of his struggle for Laura. Although I have to eat heart over Laura's words. He tried to cover his ears for what Laura said. Even though he was very hurt by this.
