Adam's gaze was glaring. He remembered that day. The day she met Pauline accidentally and she heard all the woman's statements that disappointed her.
"really?" ask Adam's lawyer to confirm his client's statement.
"That's what I heard from Pauline. Stefan has loved Luna ever since they lived in America. And Luna knew it. I was angry even though I didn't know how Luna really felt about her cousin. Until I joined forces to harm him with Pauline."
"It's a great crime, sir. Something planned will aggravate your punishment. Moreover, you do it consciously," explained his lawyer.
"I know. I was really dark in the eyes at the time. My heart is filled with anger...." Adam remained silent.
The blond man recalled that Luna was pregnant when she married him. It made Adam even more hurt, because he was the man who accepted Luna as she was. But he did not even know about his wife.
"Do you suspect Mrs Luna is cheating on you?"
Adam shakes. And that also adds to the weight of his heart at this time. He never found his wife so close to anyone other than himself. Even when Stefan's here, his second body language is normal.
What he didn't know until now was who Elea's biological father was. Luna never wanted to tell me. The woman says it's part of her past that she doesn't want to remember.
It also underlies his attitude that can not be a hundred percent dear to Elea. The little girl was not his flesh and blood.
But isn't everything already done? In fact he not only hurt Luna but also Elea and even more so Ellarsld who believed in her. Who had entrusted Luna and Elea to his care.
"Sir, your first problem has greatly aggravated your punishment. An attempted murder, let alone someone you're supposed to protect." The lawyer made clear what he heard and predicted the magnitude of the punishment Adam would receive.
"Then, Mr. Aglen Efrain's accusation, regarding _"
Adam put on a wry smile.
"It was also because of my disappointment with the Efrain family. Until I finally took the money in my wife's own company." Adam looked down after saying it. It seems that his regret is so deep. Not like before where he denied the charges.
"The next trial presented witnesses from their side. All I know is that there were actually two witnesses from the other side. Lady Luna and Miss Elea. But since Miss Elea is underage and the case is the same as that which befell Madame Luna, then Lady Luna alone is legitimate as a witness."
"Luna is coming?" Adam looked bright and was expecting that.
"As a witness he is required to be present, sir. This is the court's official summons." Adam's lawyer seems to write down some points of words conveyed Adam.
I haven't seen him in a long time.
There was a feeling of longing that engulfed Adam's heart. But of course he can do nothing. Especially now with the status he holds.
"So, about the figure of Miss Pauline Osbert will be presented in court later?"
Adam nodded. Strengthening her belief would drag down the woman's name.
"Do you have evidence that further strengthens your statement?"
"There's some footage of our conversation on the cell phone." Adam gave the address of someone he asked to look after his belongings. "Deliver my message and open it for evidence purposes. It's the password." Adam was seen writing something on a piece of paper.
"Can this ease my punishment?" ask Adam expectantly. Even though hope is paper-thin.
"I don't want to give you empty hope. But what you're doing is just uncovering the brains of other perpetrators who are still free. Saying that you are not alone. In my opinion, it will not reduce anything" explained his lawyer who made Adam swallow his own saliva.
"Will Pauline receive the same punishment as me."
"Depending on the prosecution's demands, sir. But your demands are more than Miss Pauline."
"But Pauline was also involved in the events that took place at Luna's company. He also had to stay in prison like me" Adam said. He will not let go of the woman who wants to take off that hand.
"Yes. We planned it and Angelin was the executor. Do whatever it takes for Pauline to get the right payback." Adam bit his own teeth until he made a sound.
"It depends how deeply he is involved and what evidence incriminates him later, sir."
"All right, enough for today. Two more days you have to be ready to reveal it in court" said the lawyer who then asked to leave Adam.
"Mr Eric."
Adam kept his lawyer from leaving.
"Please meet me with Luna after the hearing. A moment is okay," Adam asked with a compassionate look.
"I can't promise, sir. But I will try" said the lawyer who then stepped away.

Luna returns to Canada with her sister. While Elea left with her aunt in America.
The middle-aged woman seemed to love Elea very much. And Elea was comfortable with the oma. Luna only hopes that Elea can comfort Christina in the midst of losing Stefan caused by her.
"Father!"
Luna cried when she saw Ellard's face suddenly coming out the door when she reached her father's house.
"Darling, you're okay, right?" Ellard approaches. He even knelt down to hug his daughter.
The middle-aged man was filled to see the state of Luna who was in a wheelchair. He stroked the wheelchair, as if there was a feeling he could not explain.
"I have to get used to this now, Pa," said Luna, trying to smile. He who was supposed to study independently just returned to Canada even stopped.
The trial of the case can't wait anymore.
"Just relax, there are your Papa and Brother who will always take care of you. You have to get into therapy, so you can walk quickly," Ellard's advice, which sounds like a little concern, was listened to carefully by her daughter's ears.
"So my time studying is just today, Pa?" ask Luna.
"Rest first. Papa is sure that only once or twice read can you easily understand it. Papa knows you're smart, honey," Ellard said calmly. The middle-aged man kissed Luna on the forehead.
"Yes. I really need that right now, Pa," the lyrics to Aglen, who just stayed between them.
"I must be number two if Luna is already here" Aglen said suddenly.
"You're! Luna needs more attention and rest to face tomorrow, Ag. Don't be like a kid, remember you're half Papa's age."
"I'm also tired, Pa. alI who came here and there to take care of Papa's favorite child, but even he who Papa told me to rest. Should I be the one who needs it? "
Yoke!
Ellard hit his son's forehead. Aglen looks like a little kid fighting over parents' affection alone.
"You're both Papa's favorite children. There is nothing more between one and the other!"
