President's Beloved
President Chap's Beloved. 149

The Ling Family, was one of the most influential yet very secretive families in Xian. The family has businesses in hospitality as well as restaurants. Which in the field of restaurants compete with Liang restaurants.

The ones in the media are just about their business. Not with their lives and family members. It was a little troublesome for Dion. That should have led Dion to send one of his men to investigate directly at Xian.

Looking for someone who was quite close to the Ling family. To gather information about their family members.

And it's been three days since Dion sent his man. However, the information received was minimal. The family was completely closed. Not opening blame for other people scraping information about their families.

"Hello, Young Master."

"How's it?"dion asked directly, as his person contacted him, reporting the results of the provisional investigation.

"I got new information. Ling's family, they're related to gangsters."

"Gangsters?" Dion was silent for a moment. Previously it was complicated, especially when dealing with gangsters. What was the background of this Ling family?

Dion tapped his finger. His forehead wiggled thinking. The risk will increase. And life is a bet when it comes to gangsters. Does he have to back off?

Nah!

Dion shook his head quickly. He can't back off. Gangsters are dangerous and take physical precedence over logic. But that doesn't mean they can't talk.

"You continue the investigation. But, don't make any movement. And the most important thing is to find out how strong they are" Dion said. In a battle, it is very important to know the strength of the opponent.

"Okay, Young Master."

Dion then types in keywords in the search. Ling Family. There's no change. Just like he was looking for.

Dion nodded slowly. "It has to be done before I get back to Canada."

Dion then looked at the clock. He held on for a moment before finally contacting someone.

"Daddy," said Dion, after his call was answered.

"Yes, Dion? What's up?"answer Mr. Shane.

"I'm authorized to use Team X" Dion said, seriously.

"What's so important that you want to use them?"asked Mr. Shane, wanting to know the reason for permission to be granted.

"This has to do with Big Brother investigating his background. And from the information I got, the family you want to investigate is gangster-related. Therefore, I'm authorized to use team X to anticipate and handle it" Dion explained, telling her the intent and purpose.

Mr. Shane did not answer. Dion hesitated.

Team X is an elite team of Shane Group, whose job is to be a guard and bodyguard for Group Shane and the Shane family. Team X consists of trained people, most of whom are graduates of the military academy that was re-established within the Shane Group.

"Daddy?"

"Your brother is busy. But, it can do this so far. Daddy doesn't understand that. If you want to use team X, go ahead. Your brother's background is very important. Lia and you yourself should know the bright spot" replied Mr. Shane, agreeing with Dion's request.

Dion developed his smile. "Thank you, Dad."

"But, remember! Stay alert and avoid falling victim to too many!"mr. Shane's message.

"Sure, Dad!"answer Dion for sure.

Dion put his phone back on. He sighed. "If there is no progress, then direct negotiations are the way," Dion murmured, looking straight ahead.

"Mom!"

Camelia, who was doing yoga before leaving for work, was startled by Lucas and Liam who walked into the gym room exclaiming.

"What's up, Lucas, Liam?"ask Camelia, while changing her position to sit down.

"Look at this, Mom!"lucas said, showing Camelia a photo. Camelia looked at her two children. Lucas' eyes glazed over while Liam was very cold.

Then look at the photo Lucas showed. It was a picture of Andrean and Crystal. A photo taken against the background of a large aquarium. From the photos, they look very happy.

"Yes? What's with the picture?"ask Camelia. Feels natural. What is strange and makes his two children expression unhappy?

"We're jealous, Mom!"said Lucas. This time, her tears broke.

"Jealous?" Camelia scrunched her forehead. Just briefly. Then a thump brought Lucas in his arms. His heart was uncomfortable hearing the word jealousy coming out of Lucas' lips.

"I miss Daddy, Mom. I miss when we are together. Do it together without being apart." Complaining in Camelia's arms. Lucas started sobbing. Shoulders shaking.

"He shouldn't have posted that photo! Does he not remember there are two more children here? When we missed a father's affection, he showed his affection for one of the children. Is that fair, Mom?" Liam said in a cold tone. However, it did not hide his sadness.

Camelia swallowed her saliva. This is what Camelia was quite afraid of. When both children feel like their father is not being fair. In fact, if viewed by Lucas and Liam is the biological son of Andrean.

"Mom was actually also upset to see the photo" Camelia said.

"However, Mom can't blame your father completely either" Camelia continued.

"M-why?"asked Lucas, in a stark manner.

"Mom is not taking sides?"liam asked, narrowing his eyes. Camelia sighed slowly. Bringing Liam in his arms as well.

"Look, Crystal was born with your father. In addition, they are also one roof," said Camelia, giving understanding to her two children.

"But things have changed, Mom" Lucas said.

Andrea!

Camelia was puffing in the heart. These two children, have a very fragile heart when it comes to affection. Why show such love? Keep it, no need to be published!

"alright. Mom's gonna talk to your dad later" Camelia broke up. Kissing alternately on both cheeks of his son.

"Easy, huh? Don't be sad like this. You have Mom, who has always loved you," said Camelia softly.

"You have Grandpa and Grandma, you have Uncle Dion. Don't think of anything that'll make you sick."

"I miss Daddy, Mom." Lucas whispered softly.

Liam wiped the corner of his eye. "What if we get out, Mom? Last night Mom was with Aunty Lina, the night Mom had to be with us!"liam said, with eyes full of twinkle.

"Really! They can, we can too! After all, we've always been happy, ever since" Lucas added. His sad eyes turned into a face full of spirit.

"Later tonight?"

"Yes!" Both nod. "Mom can, right?"

"Of course" Camelia replied.

"Hore!!"

"You got a schedule today?"camelia asked, looking at her watch.

"Ahh .. there! Any minute! Liam come! Aunty Abi is coming soon!" Lucas pulls Liam's hand. Liam who was not ready was immediately interested.

Camelia shook her head slowly. Then he rushed back to his room.

Unplug his charging phone. Opening message. I have a message from Andrean.

So was Andrean's message.

Talking about longing after making both children sad?

Don't just bullshit. If you want to, do it!

That miss cannot be held. The more detained, the longer and more crowded it feels.

Seriously?

This was answered by Andrean. The reply upset Camelia. Immediately he pressed the phone icon.

"If you want to come, just come! If you don't want to, don't say anything!"

"Well! What do you mean, Lia? You pissed? Wh why? Did you make a mistake?"

Andrean seems confused there.

"I'm asking you, you're a man with how many children?!"ask Camelia. No questions from Andrean.

"Three!"andrey replied for sure.

"Is there with that?"

"I don't want to make it complicated. I'm asking you, don't publicize your affection for the child if there's only one of them!"camelia.

"What do you mean, Lia? Please say it clearly. Where is my mistake. I don't get it. Please," pinta Andrean. From the tone, it was confusion. Mixed with panic and anxiety.

Camelia stepped closer to the window. View the morning view of the mansion. Touching the window glass that still feels cold.

"In the future, don't post your relationship with Crsytal. Lucas and Liam are not happy. You, as a father, have to pay attention and remember two more children here" Camelia said. He clearly said it.

"How could that be?"

"So, can't you? Then forget about us. Let's just say we never met!"answer Camelia. Highlight his eyes flat. There was no doubt in his words. Compared to her lover, her baby is the most important.

And that, indeed something like this would be a constraint. Bringing two families together is not easy.

"No! It's not like that." Andrean called out in panic.

"Can?"camelia asked, wanting to get clarity soon.

"Just don't post it, is it so heavy?"camelia asked again, her tone heavy, disappointed. It's just a small thing, isn't it? Maintain a digital footprint to maintain relationships.

"If you're heavy on one, sorry. I'm not continuing this relationship! I'm just asking for it, not asking you to put the kid back where he belongs!"continued Camelia. Compared to other people's children, it was clearly his most important child.

"Good! I'll do it!"replied Andrean, after a moment of silence.

Camelia pulled a thin smile.

"But, please don't say anything related to the separation" Andrean said.

"Alright," replied Camelia. He just needs that.

"Lia, I'm sorry. I really don't know if it's gonna hurt Lucas and Liam. I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry to Lucas and Liam. They are very sensitive to love. Especially after Daddy left. You as the real father they have to keep their feelings. Otherwise, their approval would turn into hatred. Yeah, maybe this is what you think doesn't make sense. But, that's how it is," Camelia said.

"No. It makes sense. I was the one who was lacking attention and keeping their feelings. But, know it, Lia. I love you guys so much."

Camelia nodded little hearing him.

"I'll be busy today. See you later" Camelia said.

"Yes, I'll see you later."

Call ended.

Maybe what I said earlier was a bit outrageous. But, for the sake of the happiness of my two children. I have to be selfish.

On the other hand, Andrean loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. It's already afternoon. He just breathed because his job was done. Then it was nice that Camelia was discussing her message. And culminating in a serious conversation, it gave Andrean a headache.

Especially at the time the word returned the Crystal in its place. The boy, however, cannot escape him or Camelia. It would be even more complicated if so.

The only way not to be so complicated was to agree to what Camelia asked for.

"Gee! I didn't expect it to be complicated. Only photos but seriously. They're not happy, my God!"

Andrean massaged his temple.

Huh!

He then sighed.

"Sir." Hans came in with a tray. On it were cups and teapots.

"You seem to have a lot of burden, sir. Please drink to relieve it" Hans said.

"I'm a lot of burden, Hans!"sahut Andrean's. Replied hans naughtiness.

Andrean then drank. "It would be better if you brought me some wine" Andrean said, after drinking.

"You have a lot of burdens. It will add up again if you get drunk" Hans replied, curling a smile. Andrean.

"Oh yeah, where's Crystal?"ask Andrean.

"Young Miss is practicing, sir."

Andrean grabbed the desk calendar, took a pen and circled some dates. "Exclude my schedule on that date" Andrean told Hans. Hans accepts the desk calendar that Andrean proposes.

"One Week? Do you want to go to Canada, sir?"terka Hans's.

"Hm. Also clear Crsytal's schedule. He'll come with me."

"What about me, sir?"hans asked, with clear eyes. Hinted that he wanted to join, or at least leave.

"Of course in your room" Hans replied. Hans nodded slowly.

Is clear!

Maybe it will be a vacation too. You cruel boss! hans grumbled in his heart.

"The thing I told you to send, has it arrived?"

With a slight murmur, Hans checked the tablet.

"It should have arrived this morning. And it is likely that this morning will also be accepted at Shane's residence" Hans replied. Andrean nodded in understanding.

I hope they are happy with the gift I sent. Also hopefully their annoyance will be less with it. I know, it's not worth the direct affection. But for now, that's what I can do. I'll apologize when they call me later.
