Son of Genius: My father's Conglomerate!
Chapter 16: Accepting His Presence

"Why can he?"

Why would...Why would...Why

This word kept spinning in Shelia's head. Should she be happy that she is not pregnant with the old boy? How could it be Richard? Shelia didn't even see Richard that night.

Geck...Tok...!!

"Shelia, can we talk to you for a second? I want to explain something to you." Richard said from outside the room.

Shelia, sighing deeply, decided to open the door. "Hem, comein! We're talking inside, it's not good if Nici hears what we're going to talk about." Said Shelia without looking at her interlocutor, she just went first and sat down at the soup by the window of her room. Richard followed her into Shelia's room, closed the door and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Silent...Richard did not dare to start their conversation, nor did Shelia, he kept silent as he looked out the window.

"Shelia...." Richard said, "sorry, that night I was."

"Why can you? Obviously that night I didn't see you in that place."

flashbacks.

The atmosphere in the office seemed crowded, as usual Richard took care of the documents on his desk. He had just served as the new President appointed by his own Grandfather.

Geck...Tok...!!

The sound of knocking on the door made Richard turn his head immediately, it turned out that his uncle was coming.

"Uncle, let's go in!" Richard was friendly. Martin Nilsson is the younger brother of Richard's deceased father.

"Well congratulations to you Richard, you can finally earn Grandpa's trust. A project of this size you can solve it well despite many obstacles." Richard smiled in response.

"Tonight let's celebrate at the club!" Bring along.

"But uncle, I still have a lot of work piling up. I can't go." Richard replied unkindly.

"That's it, leave this job to Kevin. Let's go!" Martin took Richard by force. There was not the slightest suspicion in Richard's heart towards Martin, as he was his own real uncle. He was already like a surrogate father to him, but not so to Martin, the jealousy in his heart was already deeply rooted.

Arriving at the club, Martin and Richard go to the VIP room, Richard is treated to a drink, though he refuses to keep drinking it, to appreciate his uncle's goodwill.

Martin smiled cunningly. Moments later Richard began to feel discomfort in his body, he felt a heat all over his body, sweat pouring profusely, his eyes began to unfocus his mind drifting away.

"Richard, aren't you papa?" Martin confirmed.

"I-I, no- papa Uncle, I-I just. Hoshs...Hosh...." Richard's breathing grew faster, he started to feel uneasy, he was fanning himself with his palm.

"Pa-uncle, I'll be out for a while looking for some fresh air!" Richard got up and walked out with staggering steps.

"What's really in that drink? I am not a weak and strong drinker. Martin must have put something in that drink. I have to wash myself in the toilet." Richard walked while holding onto the wall, as his eyes felt blurry, he could not see clearly.

He found a room that was slightly open, he thought it was a toilet.

Kriett...!! He went inside and locked it.

Degs...The...!!

His heart beat quickly when he saw a girl lying on the bed.

Richard swallowed his salivary, his mind was starting to go unnoticed, his desire was rising quickly. His lower body responded to the desire in his heart. Richard walked over, his eyes unable to see clearly what the look on the girl's face was like, only a gentle perfume she could smell.

Without a second thought, he took off all his clothes, and climbed into the bed. He also launched his action, until he was satisfied.

The next morning, Richard woke up. She saw her body completely naked and a girl sleeping beside her in the same state as her, the girl's back was full of red marks.

'Oh my God, what have I done?'

Richard shuffled his hair in frustration, he got up and put his clothes back on. He was afraid that this girl would hold him accountable. What will your grandfather think later.

After finishing dressing Richard immediately left the room, leaving Shelia who was still unconscious.

the flash back of.

Richard ends his story, "Shelia, whatever you want to punish me in what way, I know I'm wrong. But I'm a victim too, I didn't realize I did that to you, I didn't feel guilty. All this time I've been haunted by guilt, but now I want to take responsibility for you and Nici."

Shelia let out a heavy sigh, "you don't need to take responsibility, I know it was just an accident so you weren't wrong either. After all, if there were no such night, Nici would not have been born into this world either. Or maybe I've been sold to the old man." Shelia smiled forcefully.

Richard smiled, his heart relieved. It turned out that Shelia was not angry at all. "Shelia I still want to take responsibility, Nici is my flesh and blood. Let me make amends first." Richard said a full plea.

Shelia quiet... He thought for a moment, Nici always asked who and where his father was, and now his father is here. Shelia doesn't want to take away Nici's happiness.

"All right." Shelia replied briefly.

Richard smiled happily, "today let me cook, you just sit down with a smile." Richard was about to pass, but Shelia's words stopped him for a moment.

"Richard, you don't have to take care of me. You're just Nici's father." Shelia.

Richard smiled, "i know, but you are Nici's mother, I have to take responsibility for you too, right."

"No need, you just pay attention to Nici." Shelia got up and passed first.

"Haishis... It's not gonna be easy." Richard breathed a heavy sigh. Richard followed Shelia's steps outside the room.

"Mommy, Om!" Nici runs and hugs Richard and Shelia.

"Call me Daddy from now on." Richard picked up Nici and carried her.

Nici glanced at Shelia, as if asking for permission through the look in her eyes, Shelia nodded with a smile. Nici immediately embraced Richard's neck and hugged him tightly, without saying a word.

Richard rubbed Nici's back gently.

'It turns out this is how it feels to have a family.' Richard smiled.

"Daddy, now what are your plans to get Mami?" Bisik Nici's.

"Let's see, Mami, you'll want to accept Daddy." Richard replied confidently, "let's cook." Richard takes Nici to the kitchen and sits her down at the table.

"Well Daddy can cook? That time too-mph." At once Richard silenced Nici's mouth with his palm. For fear that Shelia would find out, put where Richard's face was if Shelia found out she was about to burn down her house at the time.

"Why is that time?" ask Shelia.
