My Last Wedding Chance
Chapter 96 There's a Big Difference
"Life is a Choice You make" Nami said looking seriously at her daughter-in-law's face
Stunned, Anton closed his eyes for a moment, The calmness within him was brutally pierced by his Cynical-in-law attitude.
Anton flirted "It's not what you think it is"
The woman looked at him, her mouth agape as she digested the man's words "It's not about what I think, Anton. You've been hiding the Great Secret from Harumi, and you know how this all impacts if my daughter finds out. "
Having now completely riled up, Anton tried to stick to his stance. The man could still be calm even though in him he felt the Debris of Regret.
"Well, I know" Anton's gaze, as cold as frost on a January morning, swept across the middle-aged Woman.
The woman's eyes narrowed "So ?"
Taking a firm breath, Anton gathered all the tension in the atmosphere of the Room into one within the shoulder of his field "I still won't tell this to Harumi"
Anger and Exasperation peaked on Nami's face "Until when ? Until Harumi finds out from the Others ? Why You're Still Stubborn, I could've told Harumi, but I'm holding her back not because I want to lie to my daughter, but I'm still giving your Marriage a chance. And hope you guys can finish it together."
"That will hurt Harumi more deeply" said the man with an Empty look "Hurt her in a row, it won't end well"
"Cause of His Mother ? because of the Mother's Identity of the Child, you still insist on choosing to hide it from Harumi"
Anton's eyes widened, as if his mother-in-law had pierced a sharp Dagger into his Heart violently.
The tense atmosphere overwhelmed Anton and he stood up from his chair and almost ate him alive, then walked slowly to the storefront inside the Shop. Staring wistfully one by one the beautiful flowers that were neatly arranged and gave off a soothing aroma were caught by his Smelling Senses.
This shop is beautiful, clean, so quiet, and comfortable. Although this place is not too big for the size of a Flower Shop in the Suburbs of the City, but the man realized this is the place Harumi chose to spend most of her time every day. Even initially Anton had underestimated and opposed the Business built his wife. But...
He began to feel guilty, completely guilty. Even Anton never had time to really get to know all about Harumi.
Anton has wasted all his time just for the busyness that never ends, even he himself never knew Harumi's Favorite Color, his wife's Favorite Food, even the Size of his Shoes. He is well aware of the many things he has missed. The little things that a husband should know about his wife, Anton completely forgot about it all.
Anton realizes, every throw of questions that continue to arise from his in-laws will not stop until the man falls and admits everything.
Anton tries to avoid not to further complicate things but because he does not want to discuss his past, he knows this will be revealed sooner or later. But, I didn't expect it to be this fast.
"Please, let this be a mistake in my past. I don't want to hurt Harumi, until this moment I still love her, I want to protect her." Anton turned to look at the woman who was holding back emotions grasping both hands.
"A Child cannot choose to be born of which Parent, but a Parent has the Choice of what the Child will be like in the future." While rubbing her suddenly damp hands into her satin skirt, the woman forced herself to smile stiffly "It would hurt Harumi, but I knew my daughter, she said, she is a strong woman. She would definitely accept that fact with a spacious heart, however Freddie was the flesh and blood of her husband. It takes a long time and we have to be patient. The boy is innocent, he needs your attention, not money"
Anton was silent for a long time, his eyes ducking down. His mind was full of many regrets that were too late.
"Where is the boy now ? with her mother ?" nami asked slightly muffled her frustration and emotions
"How old is he ? Have you ever met her ?"
"he was 4 years old, only once when we did a DNA test"
Suddenly the woman flinched "a DNA test ?"
When she first found the Document, Nami actually read in detail without missing a single sheet. But, he did not suspect before that there was a sheet of DNA Test Results in the Map.
Anton shook his head "It's not like you think, I knew him before I met Harumi, that night I was drunk heavily in a Bar, I was sober, I met the woman I knew a week before we met again at the bar. "
"You mean you didn't admit to the kid ?" cut Nami throwing a piercing look
The man sighed "I don't remember what happened that night because of Drunkenness, suddenly two months later The woman said that she was Pregnant. Of course I didn't believe it at first, because I couldn't remember anything. "
Astonished at the sudden statement, the woman stared in shock "that's why you did the DNA test, waiting until the child was born. "
"Well"
"i'm appreciative enough of your decision not to run away from your responsibilities, but why didn't you marry that woman ?"
The man nodded as he put his hands into the rigid pants pocket "That's right, I didn't marry her, and preferred Harumi because I love Harumi. The woman was just a mistake, a mistake I was responsible for by continuing to pay for the child and we made the Agreement. The woman understood the Letter of Agreement we had made together even through my lawyer"
"You take it all lightly, I know you're trying to take responsibility by making things easier with Money. But, that's not what a real Father's responsibility is." the middle-aged woman curled up in response to a cynical smile
"I'm not the rightly responsible father, but I can't do more than that. Because I chose to live with Harumi"
Nami's eyes widened "You've always called my Daughter's Name an excuse to cover up your past. Harumi's not happy with you, Anton. He was suffering and in him he was screaming for help. Didn't you notice it ?"
The shadow of what Anton had been doing to his wife attacked the man's head. He felt he had to get out of this situation, but he was glued to the spot.
A piercing cold gushed down the man's body as Nami asked a question that left him split into endless pieces.
"What if Harumi found out about the Woman, what would happen if my Daughter knew that the Mother of the Child was her best friend ?"
