Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)
230. Febby Surrender

°°°

Febby couldn't stand it anymore since she kept cornering her husband.

"Quite Mah, I'm not here to look for a storm with Mamah. You know if it wasn't Mike who asked me to meet you and bring my son together with you, I didn't want to come here at all." Febby spoke quite loudly.

"Febby, you're getting as brazen as you are now! I'm the woman who gave birth to you with great difficulty but you're defending the man you just met yesterday!" the Vienna crowd did not want to lose.

In the middle of the commotion, Edwin's papah phone rang, he immediately picked it up because the call he had been waiting for since.

"Hallo, how did you manage to obtain the signature of cooperation with Mr. Anderson?" ask Edwin's papah to someone on his phone.

Everyone was silent, including the Viennese maam who looked serious listening, the husband had told me that his company would work with Mr. Anderson, the person who had helped them.

"That's how it is, well I understand. I'll ask her parents directly."

Edwin then switched off his phone.

"Who's the reward, what papah's assistant. How cooperation? It's gonna work, right? Papah will be more successful after this." Mamah Vienna bragged, deliberately to be heard by her daughter and daughter-in-law.

Papah Edwin did not even care about the question mamah Vienna, he just passed his wife. Then came in front of Mike who was holding his son.

Everyone glared as Edwin's papah bowed his body before Mike, including the Viennese mama.

"What did papah do?" jolt her.

"I'm sorry, sir, for not realizing who you are" Edwin said.

"Bah!!" yelled mamah Vienna annoyed.

"Shut up for a while, ma'am, if you still want to enjoy my wealth. Don't make me lose everything with your vanity" Edwin said.

Mama Vienna face reddened with anger, she was silent of course because she did not want to lose all the luxury.

"Sit down, you are my father-in-law at this time. So it's not polite that papah like that to me," said Mike who still holds his son, the little boy was very happy.

"It's okay sir, this is my apology. Thank you for the kindness you have given me, you want to help a company that is almost bankrupt. If there were no you, I would be on the streets by now." Papah Edwin still stood with his head lowered.

Febby who felt bad got up to take his stepfather to sit down.

"Bah, let's sit down first" Febby said.

Papah Edwin seemed to glance at Mike, he did not dare to sit without his permission.

Mike got up and handed baby Nathan to his wife. "Darling, please take care of Nathan for a minute."

"Can we talk somewhere else?" mike asked Edwin.

"Master, come, let's" said papah Edwin let Mike to follow him. They both disappeared behind the door of Papah Edwin's office.

Mamah Vienna who had been forced to shut up, of course, his mouth was itching to ask. What exactly makes her husband very respectful to his daughter-in-law.

"I don't know Mah, I never ask. All I know is she's Revan's assistant." Febby never asked and Mike never told him.

"Then why can he help your stepfather from bankruptcy. What might Revan be helping out secretly. Maybe she still likes you?" Mamah Vienna sparkled happily saying the impossible.

"Stop Mah's! Revan is happy with his wife and son, who may still like me. Revan never had feelings for me in the past, especially now. And I'm happy with Mike and my son. They're my life now, no one's more important than them." Febby proudly said that in front of his mother.

While mamah Vienna just glanced lazily to hear the words of his daughter.

,,,

Nearly half an hour later Mike was in the room with Febby's stepfather. They talked a lot about business and Mike taught Edwin more papah to not go back to bankrupt his company.

"She was very impressed with you, very young but already very understanding about business. I don't know what happens if you don't exist" papah Edwin said. Now both are more relaxed like family.

"Father overdoes, I'm still learning."

"Let's get out, they'll be waiting."

They came out and it was true that Febby and his mother had been waiting for their arrival.

"Well, it's lunch time. Let's get auntie to prepare some food, let's eat together" Edwin's papah told his wife. Without asking much, even the Viennese mama wanted to go from there.

"No need for reward, we're going home now" Febby refused, staring at her husband for approval and Mike nodded.

"No boy, we'd better have lunch and just get home. Or you stay here. Papah also wants to play with papah's grandchildren," said papah Edwin persuaded Febby.

"How's Mike doing, you want to stay over?" then ask Mike.

Mike approached his wife and embraced her friendly waist.

"I will follow whatever makes my wife comfortable reward, if she wants to stay then I will not forbid but if she does not want to, I will not force."

Febby was moved to hear it, thinking about how she felt about her husband. Although he continued to throw insults from his mother-in-law but did not forbid Febby if he wanted to stay overnight.

Less especially now, Febby feels her life is complete with her loving husband and son from the fruits of their love.

"Sorry pah, we can't stay and this is probably the last time we set foot in this nice papah house. Our goal here is to bring Nathan to meet his grandmother. So we have no more business here" said Febby. It is enough that the husband gets insult from his mother all this time.

Febby looked at his mother who remained unmoved at his words just now. Is it true that there is absolutely no affection for him so far, is it true that the birth of Febby is only considered a burden. Then from today on, Febby decided that he would no longer appear before his mother. He tried to improve their relationship but the result was the same.

"Why don't you persuade your daughter to stay, why are you being so selfish and looking only at wealth and possessions rather than your daughter's happiness. You'll regret knowing who Mike really is." Papah Edwin did not think to his wife, although all this time knew that the woman was crazy treasure but did not expect that he would behave like that to his daughter.

to be continue...
