One Night Stand With My Uncle
Chapter 40. Bad mood

...🍀🍀🍀...

Xander seemed relaxed as his father-in-law showed news in the newspaper about the company's shares of Satigo group declining and most likely the company would be acquired by the Dacosta group.

"Oh.that's just news about Satigo group." said Xander casually.

"News only?" Javier gaped, he did not believe that Xander considered the bankruptcy of the Satigo group a trivial thing.

Zeevana heard the name Satigo mentioned, he took the newspaper on the table and saw the contents. Zeevana was shocked to see the news of the group's Satigo bankruptcy, actually what happened. Zeevana glanced at Xander, the man just smiling faintly.

'Did he do this? Is there something I don't know? Is it true that uncle did this just because of yesterday?'' inner Zeevana confused. Zeevana only knew about Aiden's school fight because of the seizure of toys, not because of the humiliation committed by Raphael.

"Uncle, come with me!" zeevana said as she got up from her seat. Xander smiled, he was finally able to get the attention of the woman.

"Well my wife." replied Xander casually. No matter getting a cynical and sharp glare from Savana there.

Zeevana walks into the back garden of the house with Xander following her from behind. Zeevana took a deep breath before she spoke to the man.

"What's my wifey?" xander asked in his soft voice.

"Uncle, did you bankrupt Satigo's company?" Zeevana immediately asked without further ado.

"Yes, are you dissatisfied with what I'm doing? I can do more than that." The man smiled, but every word was serious.

"That's not what I'm worried about! What should make a company that has many thousands of employees depend on that company, become bankrupt just because of a child fight?" zeevana's blunder that made Xander flinch in shock. The smile on the man's lips now disappeared, his eyes giddy and implied anger there.

"Just because of the kids' fights? Huh! If only it were because of that, but unfortunately it's not all that simple." said Xander cynically.

"What do you mean?"

"Should I say about our son crying and being insulted yesterday by someone else?"

"Uncle! Just talk to the point, don't go around in circles!" sergeant Zeevana's getting curious.

Xander immediately tells all the events of yesterday that happened to Aiden. Xander said everything honestly. Zeevana glazed over when she heard the story from Xander. He felt guilty that Aiden was insulted like that by his friend and his friend's mother. Zeevana is angry and does not accept, especially Xander who was there when the incident occurred.

"So you understand why I did this? Still want to blame me?" xander asked with a breath that went up and down in anger, recalling yesterday's incident that hurt his heart.

Zeevana did not speak, but from the look of her face it was seen that she was angry and sad. Xander approached Zeevana. "I'm not just trying to get your love again, but Aiden's love. I want to give you a whole family. And I don't want this to happen to Aiden, so please accept me again?"

Just let the woman stay away. What Xander said is true. The whole family is also always wanted Aiden so far. Including the figure of Daddy who the child missed. But accepting Xander back, it won't be easy.

"Don't expect more uncle-I can't accept you yet."

Deesah was disappointed to hear from the man's lips, she also knew that this would not be easy. But at least there's still a chance for him. Time will be the answer of all, time will melt that frozen and previously numb heart.

"I know, I'm sorry I pressed you. And about Satigo's company, I'm not gonna let them go."

"I will try to forgive them, so I beg you not to prolong the matter any longer." pinta Zeevana softly. He does not want to complicate the lives of others.

'You think about other people's feelings, but you don't think about my feelings when you left me first with our son' Xander's inner heart aches.

"Sorry Zee, I can't make this matter short. That bastard Dave-he's been bothering you and I'm not gonna let this go." said Xander, then he left Zeevana alone.

After breakfast, Javier and Savana say Rachel is getting married. And this is one of the destinations they came to Australia, to tell Zeevana about this.

"Rachel is getting married? It's good dad, mom.I'll definitely come later." said Zeevana with a smile.

"Yes, she's getting married to Rizz. Mommy thinks she's gonna be a good husband and she loves Rachel a lot." Savana explained.

"I'm so happy to hear that."

"Oh yes Zee, mommy will also agree if you quickly formalize your relationship with Axel. He's a nice, mature guy." Savana suddenly said it and made Xander uncomfortable.

"Mother-in-law, please pay attention to your mother-in-law's words.I'm still your daughter-in-law and will always be your daughter-in-law" Xander said politely, but her eyes showed annoyance. Xander tried to be patient, his mother-in-law was not easy.

'Should I melt my mother-in-law's heart first?' inner Xander.

"Oh, is that it? As I recall you and my daughter separated 6 years ago." ketus Savana.

Javier tries to stop his wife by nudging Savana's hand. Savana was silent at last.

"Mom..." Zeevana spoke up.

"All right, I'll shut up." grumbled Savana and took the water in the glass and gulped it down.

After breakfast, Xander immediately rushed Aiden and Zeevana into his car. He wants to take Aiden to school and take Zeevana to work.

At first the mother and son refused, but Xander always had a way to force. And he always can. Moreover, Aiden who slowly began to melt at him even though his attitude was indifferent.

On the way, Xander discussed the cooperation of his company and also the Rainer company, where Zeevana worked.

"Are you really going to work with Rainer's company?"

"Yes, it's my decision." replied Xander.

"It's not because of me, is it? But because the Rainer company deserves to work with the Dacosta company." said Zeevana. He did not want Rainer's company to cooperate with Dacosta because he was not because of the company's professionalism and performance.

"Yes, it's because I want to see you more often." Xander lyrics to the woman sitting next to Aiden.

"Uncle!" serka Zeevanna.

"I'm just kidding! I made this decision because Rainer's company is the best company among other design companies" Xander explained honestly. "And one of the other things, it's because you love."

"Don't call me baby, don't get along with me when we meet again" Zeevana said.

"Alright," replied Xander lightly. I don't know what the man will do later. While Aiden looked at his parents confused, he did not know what to do because he started to like Xander. But he had to find out about his parents' separation first.

'Mommy and uncle.why did they split up? Though I see uncle loves mommy very much.. Am I wrong?' aiden's inner self at the sight felt the love within Xander for Zeevana. Aiden did not understand why his parents were separated.

'Ah.why do I ask grandpa later. Grandpa must know what happened to mommy and uncle first.'

A few minutes later they arrived at Aiden's school. Aiden says goodbye to Zeevana, Xander and Fredy. The way of saying goodbye is different, Zeevana and Fredy are very friendly but Xander is so jutek.

"I told you first mom, Uncle Fred."

"Learn the right, baby, don't fight anymore" Zeevana told Mommy.

"You can fight to protect yourself, that's okay" Xander said in contrast to what Zeevana said. The woman turned to him cynically.

"Boy grows up with fighting, son." chirps Xander again and makes Aiden smile thinly.

"Don't listen to him! Be a good boy, right?" Zeevana looked at her son. Aiden nodded his head.

"Then I'll go first."

"Wait Aiden! Aren't you going to say goodbye to your Daddy?" ask Xander who feels himself forgotten.

Aiden was indifferent, he stepped away entering Kindergarten. The boy looked so mature at a young age, even yesterday was the first time he cried in front of Xander.

"Look at our dear son, he looks just like you" Xander said as he stared at Aiden's departure with the others.

"Terusah." said Zeevana cuek.

Now their goal is to go to Rainer's company building. Shortly after, Zeevana got out of the car, thanking Fredy but not Xander.

"Thank you, Fredy,"

"Hehe. you should have said that to the President" replied Fredy stiffly, he saw a sharp look from Xander at him.

'It's not my fault sir, it's not my fault that the madam didn't say thanks to you' Fredy's inner fear.

"No, you drive the car. Not him." replied Zeevana, then he just left from there.

After Zeevana leaves, Xander shows his anger.

"Fredy, your bonus this month I deduct."

"W-what? Why sir? What's my fault?!" Fredy gasped in shock at what he had just heard, like a bolt of lightning in a hole. Holy hooch! What's wrong with him?

"I'm not in a good mood, so your bonus is reduced. Is that a problem?" Xander looks badmood. It turns out that being patient is hard, too.

"But sir..." Fredy whined like he was going to cry. This is the effect if the boss is in a bad mood.

"Disput, I cut your pay!" jolt Xander was annoyed, he even tried to neutralize his hunting breath due to annoyance.

Time passed, now it was entering the day. Time to meet representatives of design companies who want to work with the Dacosta group. But Zeevana wasn't there, she went nowhere.
