SCANDAL DATING LAST NIGHT
LIAM'S BIRTHDAY

"Liam, did you draw me?" said Leon somewhat choked.

The handsome boy smiled broadly, "Ya~"

"Liam, he drew me," muttered Leon, then he turned to Jecy and showed the picture paper, "Jecy, look! Liam drew this for me! Oh, I thought you knew about that..."

"No, Liam drew it and said he wanted to show you, but he kept it a secret even from me" Jecy stared at the picture. Who would have thought Liam drew his daddy for schoolwork.

"So that's it," Leon let down the voice, he was so happy. "Liam drew daddy very well. Thanks for this. Daddy was very touched," praising and peeping his son's chubby cheeks.

"really?" hazel shone brightly, the little boy was happy to get praise from the daddy.

"of course! Daddy would appreciate it. Thank you." Thank you."

"Liam is going to draw daddy again!"

Jecy who noticed the interaction of the two smiled. So close and warm. He felt something different. Something that calms.

Family, huh?

His mind kept rumbling. He thought back to Leon who wanted to celebrate Liam's birthday and go to the amusement park as a family. All right, let's do it. What was wrong with making his son feel true happiness.

Jecy's gaze was against Leon's.

Something Leon felt when their sight met, his loneliness was always gone. He has found a home. Where his heart is anchored, anchoring anchor.

Next week.

In the end, as Jecy chose to flee to settle the issue of the beatings in his heart, days passed with him avoiding Leon. However, still he could not get rid of the strange feeling, especially the man did not run out of ways to try to build a good relationship with him.

Liam's 5th birthday is different from the previous years alone with the mommy, this time he can celebrate the special day with both parents. How happy Liam, let alone his daddy said he wanted to invite to the amusement park.

After Jecy agreed with what Leon had planned, they left for the United States where Disneyland was on a private plane. That man could do anything to please Liam.

While Jecy, he did not expect to return to the land of his birth after five more years of escape. It felt comforting after thinking it was impossible to return again, contrary to the previous choice to escape.

"Happy to be back here?" asked Leon who was walking next to Jecy.

They arrived at the airport, walking with bodyguards in the back.

"It's normal, though," replied Jecy smiling wryly, "I think you've over-acted. Why go to Disneyland? Why not go to a nearby amusement park?"

Jecy glanced at Liam who was sleeping in Leon's arms, gently stroking the black hair for a moment. Actually he was forced to follow, but his son was so enthusiastic about Disneyland, Liam was looking forward to it.

"You know, don't you? Anything for our child. I just wanted to give her an amazing experience" Leon smiled in a knot. You could say this includes a family vacation.

"Yes," murmured Jecy.

As Leon had planned, he would make his son's birthday festive. He even rented out the entire Disneyland area for the night. Money is not a problem for him.

The one-meter-high birthday cake was cut to just half a meter because it did not fit in the helicopter. However, even being trimmed did not reduce Liam's happiness.

Blue, red, and white balloons are attached to the walls and rides. Same with the decorations. Liam looks happy wearing a birthday hat. The songs rhymed cheerfully whirring. Disney characters step in and Super Hero dances to the beat.

"Whoahh!" liam was amazed.

While Jecy was stunned, frozen at the sight of all this, she was speechless at what Leon had prepared for their child. Many times he glanced at the man. The protest why must be to rent the entire amusement park area, even though there are only three of them.

"Blow candles! Let's sing happy birthday!" leon exclaimed in applause, followed by Jecy and the people in costumes. They sang Happy Birthday for Liam.

"Liam wanted to blow it with daddy and mommy" Liam said with a big smile.

Leon did not reply, he glanced at Jecy who was staring at him. Instantly Jecy immediately looked at the wrong behavior. Ah, is that adorable woman who has been avoiding him lately?

"alright. Before that, make a wish," Jecy reminds Liam to ask for a wish before blowing out the candle.

Liam nodded. Close your eyes and start asking for a wish in your heart. There was a plea that the boy hoped would happen in a moment.

"One... two... three...!"

Threes, simultaneously. Liam, Leon, and Jecy blow out birthday candles. In one blow, dead is the tiny fire.

Coming down from her daddy sling, Liam cut the cake with Jecy's help.

"Cake! The cake!" the boy exclaimed happily. He jumped up and reached out, asking the mother to feed him the cut cake.

"Come, eat," Jecy scooped up a mouthful of cake and placed it in front of her son's mouth.

Liam instantly opened his mouth and accepted the mouthful in. Hazel's eyes twinkled. Jecy smiled seeing him.

"What mom and dad want to know what Liam's plea is?" said Liam holding each hand of his two masters.

"Hmm? May we know?" sahut Leon stared softly.

"Yes! Liam wants mommy and daddy to keep together like this! Liam love you both!"

Jecy gasped at the words of her baby. Feeling claustrophobic. Inner rumbles. Knowing how Liam wanted his two parents together sliced his heart out bit by bit.

"What if we start playing?" said Leon who realized Jecy's inertia. Want to melt the atmosphere.

"Liam wants to play!" liam cried jumping while stretching his hands.

"Does daddy have to hold hands with you and mommy so you don't get lost?"

"W-what?" sahut Jecy is not sure what he heard.

"Yes!" liam's approval did not allow Jecy to protest.

"Come on, we're having fun!"

"Come on!"

Meanwhile, seeing Leon's hand holding his hand, presents its own pleasure for Jecy. In a few seconds he was so swept away in the picture of a happy little family. His mind returned to reality.

Not making her work hard anymore, putting Liam into a kindergarten she really likes, replying to people who might hurt their children, taking the time to take care of her, eat, dress, etc, make the birthday party celebration amazing, and invite to the amusement park.

It was all thanks to Leon.

As Jecy said, he was a person who was not used to sharing his suffering with others, as he was used to fighting on his own. He never expected a good man to like him, despite having to live a difficult life. Because he believes that life is not in accordance with what he dreamed, because in fact life is very terrible.

And more than that...

Jecy felt claustrophobic when he thought of Leon.

His money, even the man's mercy, was simply too much. His gaze to Jecy, it was nothing. The touch, it makes a tight.

Perhaps Jecy chose the affection for Leon because of all these actions. Can he have any affection for that man?
