Son of Genius: My father's Conglomerate!
Chapter 17: Marry me!

"Why is that time?" Tanya Shelia said.

"Well, there's nothing, my son's mother." Richard smiled sweetly.

"What did you call me?" Shelia raised her tone.

"Mother Son! Is something wrong?"

Shelia was silent, actually it was not wrong that she was the mother of her son Richard, but why did this call feel strange to Shelia.

"Actually not wrong anyway, but-," Shelia still feels awkward at this 'Mother's Son' call, but she finds no fault with the word.

"Mommy, let's cook together!" Niki cried cheerfully.

"Emh... Yeah I can." Shelia.

'No, papa, it's Sunday. I'm off, there's no harm in cooking together, as long as Nici's happy.

With a flowery heart, Richard began to prepare all the ingredients. He took all the ingredients in the refrigerator and put them on the table.

Shelia frowned, "do you want to cook all this?"

"Emh yes." Richard scratched the back of his head.

"Oh." Shelia folded her hands on her chest, while raising her next to her eyebrows. "Then I become a spectator, I will sit here smiling." Shelia sits on the chair in the kitchen, hitchhiking and propping up her chin with one hand.

This position really made Richard's heart rustle, Shelia was so beautiful and*** in Richard's eyes. Makes him reluctant to turn away, but Nici's call makes Richard instantly aware.

"Daddy! Let's go hunt the cook."

"Ah it, sorry." Richard was wrong.

"Sad, perverted." murmured Nici softly, who could only she herself hear.

"What does Daddy want to cook?" Ask Nici. Shelia looked at the actions of the two of them.

Shelia's heart warms, she still can't believe Richard is Nici's real father, she's afraid that Richard is just a con artist who wants to bad intentions for her little family.

Although Richard has shown evidence of DNA testing, Shelia's heart is still in doubt. But, seeing Nici's happiness, makes Shelia put aside her disbelief. Richard already recognized Nici as his biological son, making Nici who longs for the affection of a father look so happy and enjoy the company with Richard.

"Daddy wants to cook spinach and cabbage, then mustard and eggs." Richard held up the food he mentioned earlier.

"Well, is it good?!" Nici scrunched her forehead. Staring strangely at the groceries Richard was holding.

"Feel Daddy's gotta be good!" Said Richard confidently, glancing at the Shelia who was sitting gracefully.

Nici chattered cheerfully, while continuing to comment on Richard's cooking. It did not take long to cook so, Richard served food in front of Shelia. Shelia looked at the appearance of the food in front of her, although it looked strange, but she did not mind trying it. Shelia scoops a little and puts it on her plate, then eats it. Shelia scrunched her forehead, her tongue tasting the taste of food that felt foreign in her senses.

Richard looked on expectantly, hoping that Shelia Shelia would comment on the new meal, "how does it taste?" Richard asked impatiently.

Emhs... Shelia was silent, she was at a loss for what to say, "Feel Daddy, not good." Tukas Nici's.

"Huh, not good?!" Richard immediately tried his own masterpiece, which did not stir the slera at all.

Shelia got up, picked up the remaining vegetables and started cooking with potluck ingredients.

"It doesn't really feel bad. But, it still needs to learn again." Shelia comforted Richard a little, so that he was not too disappointed and embarrassed because of the cooking he made, not worth eating.

"Thank you! But... The food I make is not good." said Richard.

Richard approached and began to express his intention, "Shelia, do you want to give a complete family to Nici?"

Shelia looked back at Richard with a questioning look, "what do you mean?"

"Married me!" Richard said without hesitation, his face looked solemn, his eyes implying sincerity in his heart.

"Well?!" Shelia was still unable to digest Richard's words just now.

"Do you want to marry me?" Ask Richard again. Shelia was still silent, she was so reluctant to answer questions regarding her life and death in the future.

"Mommy!" Nici approached and hugged Shelia's leg. The deg...! Shelia knew very well what Nici wanted, which was the answer 'Yes' But, this is not an easy matter to be able to make Shelia sure in seconds, but look at Nici's plain and teary eyes, Nici, making Shelia's heart full, she unconsciously nodded.

"Huh, Mommy agreed to marry Daddy?!" Nici asked him to make sure what he heard was true.

"Yes, Mommy agrees!" Shelia bred while smiling and rubbed Nici's head gently.

"Thank you Mami, Yeay!" Nici blinked one eye at Richard. Richard replied with a meaningful smile.

***

A few days passed, Shelia and Richard had registered for their wedding, at the lawyer's office and after undergoing a wedding ceremony in a nearby greja. Just a simple event that only a few people attended, such as Anna and Mr. Charli, while from Richard's side no one came to attend their wedding. Nici as a bridesmaid, carrying a bouquet of white flowers, she wore a small coat of cream, in line with the father. And Shelia, the beautiful girl was wearing a white wedding dress, which seemed to sparkle in the light of the lamp, as well as a hair style in a sweet bun, decorated with hair ornaments on the back of her head. Shelia also wore a net-like head covering that covered her face.

'Is my decision to get married not too hasty? I'm married to my son's father whom I just met. But, seeing the happiness on Nici's face, makes me feel happy too.'

Shelia smiled, seeing Nici laughing happily on Richard's lap.

After the event, Shelia, Richard and even Nici returned to their residence. Niki seemed excited he was busy chattering ria, making Shelia can only shake her head. Shelia stared at the white ring embedded in her ring finger, the symbol of the marriage bond between her and Richard.

"Richard, I need to talk to you for a second." Shelia opened her voice, after a long time she was silent.

"Say!" Richard.

"Remember, we got married just for Nici's sake. I hope you understand what I mean." Richard simply smiled as he nodded in response.

"It's good that you understand." Shelia got up and was about to go to her room. Richard got up and followed Shelia.

"Where are you going?" shelia asked, seeing Richard walking after her.

"To the room." Answer Richard.

"To the room!? Didn't I say, we're only married for Nici's sake, not for real." Shelia.

Richard did not answer yet.

Brak...!!
