Elli walked to Edward's car with a relaxed step and immediately entered it when it was right next to the car. He saw Edward who had been focused on staring at the cellphone screen immediately turned his gaze toward Elli who had just arrived. After Elli sat down on the side seat and installed the seatbealt, Edward immediately started his car and drove it at a moderate speed. There was only silence in the car, Elli with her thoughts about the incident while stealing glances at her husband and Edward who were focused on the wheel.
Edward who knew that Elli was stealing the view just put his shoulders indifferent even though he was very curious.
"Why are you from now on my lyrics? Is there something wrong with my face?" edward asked in a flat tone without taking his eyes off.
"Eh... No" surprised Elli with a little nervous because it was found to have stolen a look at him.
Edwrad who heard Elli's answer was silent without responding to anything else because he just wanted to give Elli time to open up to her. If later he was very curious, surely he would find his own information.

Elli and Reno had reached home, Alika was even waiting impatiently in the living room together with Papa William. When her two brothers came home, Alika immediately ran towards the two and hugged Elli tightly.
"Lho is just Elli's brother hugged? Edward wasn't hugged?" asked Edward with a face made a little frown to make Elli chuckle amused, because the face of Edward according to him is not at all suitable to show such an expression.
Alika who heard it immediately looked at Edward with her innocent gaze made Edward anxious himself with his sister. Unable to see the goldenness of her sister, she pulled Alika's hand and kissed her left cheek in a row followed by Elli giving a kiss on Alika's right cheek. It suddenly made Alika laugh freely because amused to get two attacks repeatedly from her two brothers.
Cup... Cup... Cup... Cup... Cup... Cup...
"Haha"
What a happy sight in the eyes of Papa William who saw it. He is grateful to have two children who get along well, even Edward as a brother has succeeded in caring for his sister and giving a lot of love to Alika. Coupled with the presence of Elli who increasingly makes the atmosphere in this small family more alive even without a mother who accompanies.
***
Elli is now going to the park with Alika which is certainly followed by several bodyguards who guard them from afar, while Reno is still in the office. Edward chose not to go to the park because he wanted to accompany Papa William. Papa William for now can not freely come out because in the past when he was still leading the Company Serant Group, his face was once highlighted by the media even though only once. So to avoid the possibility of the media knowing about the condition of Papa William, Edward finally decided not to let the papa out of the house. However, this situation can be used by irresponsible people out there.
Currently Edward and Papa William are sitting on the porch chair of the house while enjoying the afternoon atmosphere that feels calm and cool.
"Pa, there's something I want to say" Edward said with some caution.
"Huf... Yesterday Reno and I went to the mansion. We went to see Mama" Edward said hesitantly to tell her the truth.
"Mama said that Edward was not papa's biological child" he continued with a slight glance at his papa to see the expression on his face.
But looking at Papa William's facial expression that looks relaxed and mediocre, makes Edward a little worried.
"Ed, papa knows about it. Even once papa had a DNA test between papa and you to prove everything and it is true you are not a biological child papa. Papa has investigated everything even papa knows who your real father is" said Papa Edward with a long look to the past.
"At first papa suspected that you are not a biological child papa because he saw a message entered on your mama's mobile phone if mama asked for money to raise her child to a man. Because it was our new child you, so papa took the initiative to do a DNA test" he continued.
Edward who heard that was of course shocked and incredulous, even he was not surprised by the expression shown by Papa William who now still looks ordinary.
"Why not be angry with your mom for lying to me?" ask Edward.
"At first papa was disappointed and angry but the rice had already become porridge. Papa loves your mama. Once papa thought to hate you, but seeing a twinkle and innocent gaze when you were 3 years old at that time made papa lower his ego to accept you as a child papa. You are innocent here, the wrong thing is adults but can not think mature in solving problems. Even papa knows that mom framed papa to get what she wants. After all, papa has promised papa's best friend to take care of your mama. Now the question is after you find out that you're not papa's biological child, do you still want to take care of disabled parents like me and also your step sister?" papa William asked as he looked at Edward with a gentle smile.
"You papa is adoptive father or stepfather but for Edward, papa is the birth father of Edward because all this time papa who always gives love and a decent life for Edward. Papa never played a hand and never discriminated between me and Alika. Whatever happens Edward will take care of and look after papa and Alika for good" said Edward with teary eyes.
"Thank you for accepting Edward and taking care of Edward all this time. Edward loves papa" he continued who then embraced his papa who was beside him sitting.
Papa William immediately returned Edward's embrace no less tightly while patting Edward's shoulder gently when he felt Edward's shoulder shake.
"Gee... There are hugs but not hugging" exclaimed someone who had just come to make the haru atmosphere instantly destroyed.
Edward and Papa William immediately let go of their embrace and then saw who was the one who interrupted their moment. It turns out oh it turns out... He was Elli and Alika who joined hands with each other while smiling widely after returning from the park. Really fit as a sister.
Without a warning, Elli and Alika immediately enter into the arms of Papa William who then Edward pulled in also in the arms by Elli. Truly it was a very warm embrace and comforting the heart of his four.
