the Evans Family Residence
Eryn prepared dinner for the rest of his family. After yesterday he was found not asking permission from his mother-in-law to work abroad, now Eleanor is more disciplined to do as she pleases. Eryn couldn't resist. He must obey Eleanor's wishes.
No one made a sound when dinner was going on. Only the sound of the clangs of spoons and plates clashing.
Eleanor looked cynically at her daughter-in-law. In his heart he said, "Lumayan is also this woman's cooking!"
Eleanor devoured the food on her plate as well as Erica. The woman, who is in her 40s, has no plans to get married. He is not interested in having a husband. For him, marriage was just a troublesome thing.
When Eleanor asked him to find a partner, Erica simply replied,
"Look at the sister's son-in-law! Every day, she serves her husband and children. Although she was tired of working, she also had a chatty mother-in-law like an older sister who would reprimand her if she made the slightest mistake. What kind of life is that? A lifetime will only serve her husband's family. Nah! I won't live like that!" firmly Erica.
"You're! How dare you say that!"
And after that day, Eleanor never talked about marriage to Erica and just let the woman live as she pleased.
Returning to the Evans family dining table, Eric occasionally looked at Eryn sitting beside him. Somehow his heart started to worry since he agreed to a cooperation contract with EB Company this afternoon.
"Eryn, so have you met her in Brazil? Then why didn't you say anything? Did something happen between you guys there?" inner Eric felt sad and worried.
"Eric, what's wrong with you, son? Your face looks less healthy." Only Eleanor can break her own rules.
"It's okay, Mom. Maybe I'm just tired" Eric replied, still trying to smile.
"You hear that, Eryn? You should pay more attention to your husband. You're pursuing a career but your husband you're ignoring. If you can't take care of your family and career, you'd better pick one!" ketus Eleanor's.
"Mom, stop. I'm it's okay. It's not because of Eryn. After this I will take vitamins and rest. Tomorrow we will recover" said Eric.
Erica who saw the debate could only roll her eyes lazily and continue her dinner. As for Elza, he immediately took Noah away because he did not want the little boy to hear Eleanor scolding Eryn.
"I'll pay more attention to Eric again, Mom. I'm sorry" said Eryn.
"Hmm, great. My son runs a lot of business. If he gets sick, who will handle all the companies? Even your kids are still small." Eleanor finished her dinner and went to her room.
Eric held Eryn's hand. "Don't listen to what my mom says. I'm fine."
"He's heard it, Eric. What did you say all that for? I'm done. I'm going to the room. Good night." Erica left the dining table.
"Sorry to make the atmosphere unpleasant" said Eryn.
"No need to apologize. We better get in the room, too. I think you're tired of cooking dinner, too" Eric replied.
Eryn nodded then got up from his seat. The two of them went into the room and prepared to go to sleep.
Eryn cleaned himself in the bathroom first then Eric. As Eric exits the bathroom, he sees Eryn still awake staring at his flat screen. As usual Eryn checked his work schedule for tomorrow.
"Eryn.." call Eric.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" reply Eryn by still staring at his smart tablet.
"Have you met him?"
Eryn stopped and fell silent. He looked at Eric.
"Meet who?" tanyakanya.
"Eldrics. He's alive, isn't he?"
Eryn was silent.
"So he asked you to organize his birthday?"
"Eric..."
"I know you must be very surprised, too. I was also very surprised."
"Eric..."
"He looks different. But he's still the same guy, isn't he? I'll work with him. You don't mind, do you?"
Eryn looked at Eric. "He's not an Eldric. He is El-Black. So, please don't discuss this anymore."
Eryn placed his smart tablet on the nightstand and laid down his body. He tried to close his eyes.
Eric is still not satisfied with the discussion about the return of Eldric.
"What would you do if Eldric knew Noah was his son?"
Eryn woke up and looked at Eric.
"I'm asking you one thing. Don't say anything about Noah. I beg!" Eryn cupped his hands together. His eyes are already glazed.
"But, still..."
"No! Noah is not his son! Noah is my son, only my son! Don't talk about this again, Eric. Please!"
Eric took a breath. "alright. We're gonna end this conversation. Ii'm sorry. Now sleep!"
Eryn nodded. He returned to his body, trying to close his eyes even though it felt heavy.
They both can't close their eyes. Their minds clashed with each other to think about what would happen tomorrow with their lives.

Three months have passed since Eric teamed up with Black. Eric's business is getting better. And the ones who were most excited about this were Eleanor and Erica.
Not to forget, Eleanor also bought several sets of diamond jewelry for Elza. The 20-year-old girl just rolled her eyeballs lazily.
"Mom, why did you buy all this? Although Brother Eric has made a lot of money, but still do not buy items that are not needed. We just keep the money in the bank," Elza upset.
Eryn didn't interfere in Evans' family affairs. He knows that he is an outsider.
"Already, Elza. Mother bought this you can also make savings. Think of it that way" Eryn advised Elza.
"It seems like only Brother Eryn in this house can talk to me. Thank you, Brother."
Eryn simply smiled in response to the annoyance of his sister-in-law.

That afternoon, Eryn was struggling with his job when Lolita interrupted him and told him that someone wanted to meet him. Eryn was surprised that it was Carlos who wanted to see him.
"We meet again, Madam. How are you?" greet Carlos.
Eryn sighed. "What do you need to come here?" eryn asked not to mince words. He knew that Carlos' arrival must have been Black.
"Mr Black wants to see Madam. Can the madam come with me?"
"I don't want to meet him or even have any more business with him. Tell him that!" Eryn.
Carlos smiled a grin. He and his master are the same. Both forced and do not accept rejection.
Carlos shows a screen of his cell phone showing a photo of Noah, Eryn's son.
"Huh?! You guys!" Eryn clenched his hand.
"Come, Mistress. Don't make it difficult for yourself. Come with me!" said Carlos.
Feeling no choice, Eryn ends up with Carlos to meet Black.
The car that Carlos was carrying entered a hotel that looked like a new building. Eryn.
"Would you bring me here?" ask Eryn.
"Mr Black is waiting for you, Madam. Here's the key to his room." Carlos handed Eryn a card.
Eryn walked into the new building. As he remembered here was an abandoned hotel that had long been abandoned by its owner because of bankruptcy.
"How can this building stand up again? And inside it was also more luxurious than the previous one, "Eryn's inner.
Eryn arrived at a room with the same number as the one on the card. He put the card down and the door opened.
Black spread his arms to welcome Eryn.
"Welcome, Senorita..."
Eryn was still staring at the door.
"Come in!" black orders with a smile.
Due to a warm welcome, Eryn entered the room. Black hugged Eryn. Clutching her tightly to let go of her longing.
"I really miss you, Eryn.." said Black. Eryn did not return Black's embrace or reply to his words.
Black parsed his embrace and looked at the beautiful woman. The man covered Eryn's face.
"You're so pretty. The more you grow up, the more beautiful you are." Black brought his face closer to eroding the distance between them.
But Eryn reacted another way. He turned his face away when Black wanted to kiss him. The man didn't give up. He continued to try, but Eryn also continued to avoid.
Black retreated and sat down on the sofa. He took the remote control and turned on the television.
Eryn looked up at what was shown on the TV screen. It was a recording of him and Black kissing in a hotel room some time ago. Eryn who with open arms received Black's fondling was clearly plastered there.
"What do you want?!" shout Eryn. His tears were almost spilled but as much as possible he could bear.
"I want you, Mrs Evans..."
Eryn. "You're crazy! You're not, Eldric!" yell Eryn again.
His feet moved out of the room.
"If you go out that door, then .. This video will be sent to your husband and his family" Black threatened.
Eryn turned around and stared at Black.
"Although we didn't do anything on the tape, what do people think of seeing this? A young mistress of the Evans family turns out to be having an affair with a man richer than her husband..."
"You! Whatdoyouwant?!" Eryn's cry finally broke.
"I .. want to destroy you, Eryn Evans. You and your husband .. I will destroy!" Black stood up and approached Eryn.
"Prepare, Eryn! Your suffering will begin soon..."
