Mexico City, Mexico City,
Eryn is finally willing to move with Eric to his hometown. He hopes to find peace in a new city. Not to forget he also invited Matilda to come with him.
Eric convinces Eryn that he will be responsible for Eryn's life and the baby in her womb. Eric is willing to marry Eryn even though he knows that the girl does not love him. Love can come with time, Eric thought.
Eric took Eryn to his extended family home. Eric told Chris he was going back to Mexico with a girl he loved. Of course the middle-aged man was very happy because his eldest son finally found his heart.
Eryn set foot in the courtyard of a luxury Evans mansion. Eric was no ordinary man. His family owns a business empire in the city.
Eryn seemed hesitant to enter the mansion. Eric reassured him. Just like that night, Eric managed to make Eryn believe that everything would be okay.
..."I will marry you and be the father of your baby. Your baby will be my son too. I promise, Eryn. Please believe!"...
Eric's words always ring in Eryn's ears. She cannot raise her baby alone. There are many mothers who raise their children without a father. But Eryn twk can tell his son later if his father has died.
"Let's go in!" eric said to break Eryn's daydream.
Eryn simply replied with a nod. His feet stepped into the Evans family palace.
It was seen that some people welcomed the arrival of Eric and Eryn. Chris greeted them warmly.
"My son, you've come!" Chris gave Eric a warm hug.
"Yes, Dad. Meet Eryn, this is Eryn" said Eric.
"Hello, Uncle." Eryn reached out his hand and shook Chris' hand.
"Hello, Son. Eric's been telling me about you."
Eryn rounded his eyes. "Is Eric really telling his father about me?" inner Eryn asked.
Then Eric turned to the beautiful woman who looked at Eryn from head to toe. Eleanor, Eric's mother.
"Mother, meet Eryn" said Eric after hugging and kissing his mother's cheek.
"Yes, I heard it before" said Eleanor.
Eryn immediately concludes that Eric's mother doesn't like him. But as much as possible he smiled kindly and sweetly at Eleanor.
No less cynical with Eleanor, the beautiful woman beside her also continued to look at Eryn.
"Eryn, this is Aunt Erica. He's my father's brother" Eric explained.
Eryn again developed his smile for the unfriendly-faced woman.
"Lumayan! Your taste is good too, Eric," Erica said.
"Of course, Auntie. I wouldn't haphazardly bring a girl, would I?"
"But, you don't seem to be a native American" Eleanor said.
"No, Ma. Eryn has Korean blood" Eric replied.
"Son, I asked her not to you."
"Mom, it's the same whether it's me or Eryn answering."
"Why did you introduce me so long? Hello, Brother! I'm Elza. I'm Eric's brother." A teenage girl approached Eryn and hugged him.
"You know, I was very curious about what kind of lover Brother Eric would be. It turns out that Eric's taste is good."
"Hey, you! It's not polite to talk that way!" Eric hit Elza's head slowly.
"Aw! So this is why you never come home, hmm?" elza Goda.
"Easy! Let Eric and Eryn rest. They must be tired. Eric, take Eryn to his room," Chris said.
"Yes, Dad. Come on!" Eric takes Eryn and Matilda to their room.
......***......
Eryn asks that he stay in the same room as Matilda. Her nightmare made her afraid to sleep alone. Eric agreed. After all it must have felt strange if Eryn became like the king's daughter also in the Evans family home.
"Miss, rest first. Aunty will sort out Miss's belongings" Matilda said.
Eryn simply nodded then sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Auntie, was this the right decision?" ask Eryn.
"Of course, Miss. Mr. Eric is a good man. Miss is lucky to marry him."
Eryn only smiled faintly at Matilda's words.

While in a different room, Eleanor appears grumbling in front of Eric. The woman who gave birth to Eric was not willing to let go of her son to marry young.
"When have you been with that girl? You never heard of him from you? And where are his parents?" Eleanor is scouting Eric.
"Mother, Eryn lives in an orphanage, so no one knows where her family is."
"Aren't they adopted by rich families? I heard that family member died close together. Aren't you weird about that?"
"What's so weird, Mom?" It seems like Eric has to persuade his mother slowly. It must be difficult to accept a son-in-law suddenly.
"Doesn't that mean he's an unlucky carrier? Don't let our family get fucked because of him too!"
"Mother! Don't think too far. Eryn is a good girl. Believe me!"
"You sure you're gonna marry him?"
"Of course!" firmly Eric.
......***......
In the mansion, Eryn could not relax like a lady. Eryn used to do homework, so he also helped in the kitchen to prepare food for the whole family.
That morning, after cooking Eryn went to the back garden to water the flower garden there. The flowers are very beautiful and make Eryn feel at home for long there.
"Eryn!" Eric's heavy voice made the girl turn her head.
"What are you doing here? Don't be too tired. It could affect your fetus."
Eryn smiled. "It's okay. Can't I ride for free here?"
"Hey, Miss. You're gonna be Miss Evans. We're getting married soon."
"Eh? This fast?" Eryn's surprised.
"Yes. You just calm down! I'll never touch you without your permission."
"Eric..."
"This is for your baby. I also talked to my family. We had a simple party. How's it?"
Eryn nodded. "Thank you, Eric. I don't know what else to do if I'm not with you..."
Eryn's tears dripped down his smooth cheeks. Eric approached Eryn and removed the clear circle.
"From now on don't cry anymore. You'll be happy, Eryn. I promise to make you and your son happy."
Eryn hugged Eric's body. The girl was crying in Eric's arms. Eric rubbed Eryn's back.
"If only you knew how my heart would fill, Eryn. Although I'm only a replacement for the position Eldric has in your heart, but I will try to make sure that you can love me too." - inner Eric.
The two of them did not realize that a pair of eyes were watching them with an expanding smile.
"May you be happy, son. I always pray for the best for you." Chris murmured inwardly.
