La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 43

"Of course, Ag. I love him" said Stefan unconsciously. His mind drifted between reality and his subconscious.

"What's? You're totally crazy Stefan. You love Luna!?" Aglen repeated Stefan's words to convince him of what he had heard.

"Huh? Em ... mak-sudku Elea, I love her. Luna is her mother. If anything happens to Luna, Elea will definitely be sad." Stefan's eyelids opened wide in shock. His drowsiness suddenly collapsed because of his confession earlier. Moreover, Aglen who looked shocked half to death.

"You almost made my heart stop!" snapped Aglen.

The vibrating slStefan's back sagged as well. The man was relieved because it seemed like Aglen believed the words he had already rectified. Let alone Aglen, Stefan was no less shocked when he realized his lips involuntarily confessed that he loved Luna.

"Then what's Luna's case?"

"It's okay. I can still handle. Soon the brain of the trouble-seeker with our family will surely come out. He won't hold on to hiding."

"Your words are very convincing."

"That's it, Ag. Women are different from us. Men prefer to work behind the scenes. But they, must have been unable to bear to laugh at Luna. And they would be satisfied if they said it directly. This is just my guess, it looks like it's related to me."

Stefan thought of Luna's words to him and accused him of the same thing.

"You mean?"

"Angeline Peterson is the owner of the missing diamond necklace. It costs millions of dollars, but it's stupid to let it go unbeknownst to him. It's all planned" Stefan explained.

"The rich lady of the Peterson family? Wasn't he the one William's uncle had betrothed to you?" ask Aglen. The man thought they only had the same name. Apparently they are the same person.

"Where do you know that?" Stefan's shocked. That marriage, even only her family knows. He would definitely be the stuff of his cousin's teasing.

"Aunt Christina came to me. He missed you, Stef. What's going on?" Aglen actually already knew because Christina, Stefan's mother and pigtailed man's aunt had told him everything. The dispute between father and son in his family.

"There's nothing. I'm so busy I haven't called her yet."

"You're not good at lying, Stef. Especially in front of me. You're rejecting that girl, aren't you?" Aglen stood up and took the water in the fridge. "Even you don't provide drinks for guests."

Aglen was upset, but he tried to melt the sudden silence between the two because of the question Aglen asked.

Stefan pulled the corner of his lips next to her. "You're not a guest, what am I offering. You can take it yourself."

"Tell me what's going on?" Aglen thrust a glass of clear liquid at his cousin.

"I told you nothing." lied Stefan. "Can't I just tell you a little bit. Or we exchange, you're William's and I'm Uncle Ellard's. Looks like Uncle Ellard has a broader view of life than my Papa" Stefan lamented.

"That's just you think. They're brothers, Stef. Their way of thinking is the same. It's just that Papa didn't pressure me as long as I was on my line," Aglen said, not defending anyone.

"You have a lover?" aglen asked.

"Stop acting like my mom, Ag!" Stefan punched Aglen's arm until the pigtailed man was pushed to the side and pouted.

But Aglen was laughing. For some reason, he did not realize he wanted to know who his cousin's lover was.

"Did any of your girls draw your attention so badly you wanted to make a wife? Tell me." Aglen spoke very softly as if there was someone other than them. Ellard's eldest son showed his curious face.

"Stop talking about it! I'll just answer your questions about Luna, "She said.

"alright. Well, then, what do you know about Adam?"

"Why talk about Adam? I don't want to know about your brother-in-law. Moon, Ag. We're talking about luna" Stefan said.

The man was suddenly upset to hear it. His memory rewired the memory a few hours ago. Where Luna who some days is close to him even though they always have a fight, instead struggled with her husband since the man arrived at the police station this morning.

"Do you think Adam's a proper husband for my sister?" ask Aglen.

"Whatchu mean? They have been married and have been married for more than five years. And now you're asking me if that guy deserves Luna?"

Aglen added to his frustration.

"Can you be trusted?" Aglen turned his head, staring into Stefan's bead of eyes.

Seriously looks.

"What do you want to talk about? Don't convolve!" Stefan's words are up.

"I found out the man was cheating on Luna's company. I haven't really investigated it yet, but I don't know why I'm so sure that the guy was just using my sister" Aglen said.

"Did Uncle know? Uncle couldn't have picked Ag wrong."

Stefan loved his cousin. But that doesn't mean he's happy to hear this terrible news. If until Adam really only used Luna, Stefan would definitely make a calculation with the man.

Aglen nodded. Then he told Stefan everything he suspected of his father. And instead asked his cousin to come take care of Luna.

Of course Stefan had done it even without being asked by the men in his family.

"Hows it? Already?" Lilyana spoke without a sound. He plays code with Kylie, and they are both in Sebastian's room.

Kylie answers her mother by forming her two fingers into the letter O. Then the girl came out immediately.

Kylie makes a play by pretending to meet her father earlier. Not long after, the girl went out to see her father's secretary.

"Please make me a letter of work experience, my father has agreed. I'm waiting here" he said.

"But Miss...."

The secretary was certainly hesitant because it wasn't Sebastian himself who asked for it. Walton family especially the wife, Lilyana already known by Sebastian's subordinates. Because they were also asked to be vigilant by the middle-aged man.

"My father told me to. Hurry on! Or do you want to get fired?" threaten Kylie's.

The woman who was Sebastian's secretary did not dare to ask again. "Well, what division, miss?"

"Finance" Kylie replied lightly. By having this letter, Kylie hopes that Luna's trust will increase in her.

After he finished working on it, the secretary wanted to go in to ask for Sebastian's autograph.

"Let me. Papa asked me to bring the paper to him." Kylie insisted on asking for it.

"Yes Miss."

Kylie was very happy, finally she managed to get a work experience letter from her father's company without having to bother having to intern there.

The girl immediately entered the father's room where the mother was waiting.

"Breaked?"

"Successful, Ma!" peekkik Kylie's. The girl was overjoyed and repeatedly kissed the precious piece of paper for her.

Both mother and son embrace to celebrate the success of deceiving their father and husband.

"Don't forget about Mama when you're working later" Lilyana said. Of course it means more than that. More money and facilities and more he wanted.

"Beres Ma! Mama should also help me convince Luna's sister later."

"How do you do, Dam?" ellard asked, breaking the silence between them.

They should be happy because of Luna's suspension of detention. But there was a small figure there that Elea made the three adults even eat their lunch seriously. Without talk, let alone jokes.

"Ahh .. ba-ik, Pa. Everything's under control." Adam immediately looked down pretending to concentrate on his food.

"I heard that there is a problem for our exports to European countries. Is true?" Ellard turned his head, the man looked at the son-in-law who could no longer wiggle to dodge.

"Emmm... Just a little trouble, Pa. Thank goodness I can handle it." Adam stroked Elea's head. The man sought tranquility by avoiding the gaze of the father-in-law.

"You sure it doesn't have any effect on anything else? Europe is our biggest market so far. If we make a little mistake, it will be fatal for all." Ellard's insinuation must be but firm and hit the mark.

"Tell me if you need any help, honey. Papa and I will be ready to help. Penetrating their market is not as easy as America and Asia. You know, right?" luna added.

"Of course I know. I've learned a lot from you guys. It's time I got the confidence to walk on my own, isn't it? I don't want to continue to depend on you." Adam dampened the turmoil in his heart. The man spoke very softly and politely.

"Okay, don't disappoint me! I assume you're capable if you don't ask us for help." Ellard rubbed her lips with a handkerchief. "El, grandpa wait in the park, yeah."

The middle-aged man rubbed the top of Elea's head who nodded while smiling at her. Ellard ate her lunch the earliest, followed by Elea who followed her to the park.

After the two died, Adam was born. Only this time did the man feel completely underestimated.

It has been like that all along. But Ellard never put out his words as clearly as before.

Ellard just keeps saying that he and Luna will always be ready to help whatever Adam's difficulties in the company.

"Darling...."

"I'm fine. Continue to eat" said Adam, who did not even look at his wife.

"I'm sorry" Luna's great-granddaughter realized Adam was offended. "I just_"

"No problem."

"I'm sorry, too, dear." Luna rubbed Adam's back gently.

"I told you it's okay. Keep eating, honey."

This time Adam returned Luna's gaze. The man smiled gently at the woman beside him.

Adam always could not be angry with Luna, but not with the others.
