Genius Children: Between Hate and Miss
Good Day

Xander swings his way into a French restaurant with a male waitress delivering to a reservation table that Miranda had ordered.

"Sir, there is a table that has been ordered by Mrs Miranda." The uniformed male servant pointed at one of the rooms in the corner. A room that is sealed in glass so that other visitors can see the situation from the outside and vice versa. However, the room was soundproofed until their conversation could not be heard by others.

Xander replied in a cold tone. "Okay, thank you." Then, the male servant resigned after delivering Xander.

Xander exhaled a rough breath, trying to control himself. Every time they meet Miranda, there will be a time when they have an argument and trigger a debate between them about the engagement plan of Xander and Lidya.

"Come on, Xander. Don't be a coward! Face everything before your eyes" Xander murmured to himself.

Xander steps up to one of the VVIP tables near a large window overlooking the restaurant's garden. Honestly, he was eager to leave the restaurant and chose to sleep in his apartment, but the man was forced because Miranda threatened to do something stupid to ensnare the child.

"Why are you late? Did you intentionally want to keep us waiting?"

The sentence was a welcome that Xander received from Miranda, shortly after Tania's ex-husband arrived at the VVIP room. It looks like the mama is giving a sharp look to the child just his puppet.

"Sorry, I was stuck in traffic" replied Xander, sitting his butt in the chair opposite Miranda. Next to her was a beautiful woman, who was smiling on her lips.

Miranda clucked in annoyance. "Always make traffic jams as your reason. Since long ago until now there has never been any other reason besides jammed, jammed and jammed."

Xander was silent for a while, not hearing Miranda's words. Instead, he turned his attention to the coffee cup that only half remained. However, the owner of the coffee cup is not in place.

Miranda watched the look of confusion clearly on the prince's face. "Your father is going out of boredom waiting for you for too long" the middle-aged woman replied as if understanding Xander's thoughts. Deliberately lying so that the child is only aware if he has wasted their time too long.

"What's so important about what you want me to talk to? Don't you know I'm busy" Xander said to the point. He did not want to feel stale and spent too long in the same room as Miranda and Lidya.

Miranda grabbed the ceramic cup before her, then took a slow sip of the concentrated liquid. "Mama asked you and Lidya to come here, to talk about your engagement plans. Mama and Mommy Lidya have decided that next week you will be engaged. Therefore, Mama wants you and Lidya to start determining the building, decorations and costumes to be worn. Mama wants everything to be luxurious" said the middle-aged woman firmly.

The look of happiness was clearly on Lidya's face. Soon her ambition to be the young mistress Vincent Pramono was granted. However, it is different with Xander. The man shook for a while after hearing the mother's words.

Both of Lidya's hands cupped the back of Miranda's hand on the table. "Tante didn't lie, if next week Xander and I are getting engaged?" asked the woman with a happy glow in her eyeballs.

Miranda nodded enthusiastically and replied, "No dong. Your aunt and Mommy talked about it when we met yesterday. After a discussion, we finally agreed to accelerate your engagement."

With a voice made as puffy as possible Lidya said, "Oh, I'm so happy. Finally after so long your wait is not in vain. I will be part of the Vincent Pramono family. Thank you, Aunt Miranda." The woman even shuffled from her chair, then hugged Miranda's body tightly. Express how happy he is today.

"Well, why not? Didn't you agree to marry Lidya, then why when Mama has set a good date for you, you even protest" Miranda said. A little upset about the attitude of Xander who still did not fully agree on the man's engagement plan with the woman of his choice.

Xander glanced at Miranda, then at the female figure next to his mother. "I did agree to this wedding plan, but that doesn't mean Mama can determine when I'm engaged to Lidya. Besides, I accepted this marriage because of Mama's coercion, right? Not by my own will."

The sentence managed to make Miranda and Lidya surprised. Even so surprised, as if a pair of eyes of the wife of American descent man dislodged from his place. The woman's eyeballs were perfectly wide.

"Xander, watch what you say!" Miranda gave a warning, staring in disbelief at her beloved son. The sweet and submissive attitude has been lost in Xander since the man secretly married Tania without her blessing.

"Why should I keep my mouth shut?" sergeant Xander's fast. "I've complied with Mama's desire to marry Lidya, but Mama can't force me to get engaged to the woman of Mama's choice."

Xander looked at Lidya with an unreadable look. He does not care if the woman is angry or even hate him for life because it is considered as a jerk who has toyed with someone's feelings. In fact, he had absolutely no intention of playing Lidya, giving the woman false hope.

"Don't be too hard on your Mama, son! After all, she was the woman who had conceived and given birth to you," said someone from behind Xander's body. Jonathan Vincent Pramono interrupts the dispute between his son and his wife.

American men have always been neutral, not on anyone's side. He did not hesitate to reprimand Xander or Miranda if any of them did wrong. In this case, he did not want to interfere and let Xander, Miranda play in a game created by themselves.

Xander gave a small glance towards his papa and smiled faintly. "I never forget all the services that Mama did to me. However, in this case I was disappointed in Mama for taking the decision unilaterally without involving me."

"If Mama involves you, when are you going to marry Lidya? Your age has entered the head of three, it's time you forget the past and step forward without looking back into the straits" Miranda said quickly. This time he could not control himself. He was already quite furious over Xander's attitude that seemed to humiliate him in front of Lidya. The woman's face was flushed red, the roar of hunting breaths and the chest of deflated flowers.

"Just don't want to know, next week you will have an engagement. If you do not want to bother preparing all the needs, let Mama manage everything," said Miranda without denying. He glanced at Lidya, and smiled sweetly at the model. "And for you, Lidya, prepare mentally and physically for next week's event."

Both corners of Lidya's lips are pulled upwards to form an arch. "Sure, Auntie!" the woman replied enthusiastically.

Xander let out a rough sigh. Free he denied because in the end Miranda will always win. "I don't think there's anything else you want to talk about. Then I'll go home first. Excuse me!" He pulled his chair back until a squeaky sound echoed through the room.
