Stuck With An Old Man (Revision Stage)
CHAPTER 62: Suspicious

Gala's words this afternoon continued to run through Janetha's mind. There was a deep sense of guilt that he felt. Because, he had broken the promise he and Gala had agreed. While packing his things, a tearful mouth began to bathe his cheeks.

“Mommy?” call Leonard.

There is no word from Janetha.

“Mommy!” call Leonard out loud.

Janetha was a little surprised. He immediately wiped away the clear liquid that filled his cheeks and looked at Leonard. “Iya, Darling?”

“What we will move places?”

“Ehm .. We will return to Paris,” replied Janetha honestly.

“Why? I don't want to go back, Mommy!” ketus Leonord's.

“We have to go back, Honey. Mommy has a job there.”

“But why should I go back now? Anyway I don't want to go! I want to stay here with Daddy!”

Janetha took a breath and exhaled slowly. It was very desirable for him to yell at his son and explain how the situation was now. But he abandoned his intention. “Honey, listen to Mommy. Our place is not here. And your Daddy can't be with you forever. You'll understand if you've grown.”

“No! Why am I the only one like this? My friends have Daddy living with them.”

“Because you are different from them,” Janetha said.

“Different? What's different? I heard the same Mommy. I've never been naughty and made it difficult for Mommy, but why would Mommy punish me like this? Why should Mommy separate me from Daddy?”

Janetha's heart was pounding. Leonard's words were like arrows piercing his heart. He didn't think that such a small child could think that. Janetha spoke a thousand languages. I don't know how he explained it to Leonard. The boy was too young to know what was really going on.

“Mommy! Why just shut up? We're not going home ‘ right?” ask the boy expectantly.

Janetha is not a bully. He resumed his activities, packing all their clothes. He saw that Leonard had stepped onto the sofa. The boy was silent with a sullen look on his face. Janetha cried again, she could not bear to see her son sad because he wanted his Daddy.

At one of the best restaurants in the capital, a couple seemed to be enjoying their dinner. The place has been in a special message by Leon to be occupied by himself and Chiren. Leon's attitude had completely changed by one hundred and eighty degrees. Of course because he was hiding something from his wife.

In Leon's innermost heart, there was a sense of guilt for hurting Chiren. He is aware of what he has been doing all this time. He realized that all this time, it was Chiren who was always by his side. Chiren was always patient in the face of his cruel behavior.

Leon admitted that the bad thing that happened to the content of Chiren was his deed. He always plays the woman behind Chiren and often even acts rude towards his wife. He looked at the beautiful face of Chiren who was sitting opposite him. That woman is very graceful and beautiful.

How stupid I have been all this time! She is more beautiful than my comfort women. I always hurt her but she was always patient with my attitude. I'm sorry, Chiren. I've wasted your love and your attention. I don't want to hurt you anymore. I'm going to end my relationship with your best friend, but there's one thing I can't keep him away from. It was a very strong bond. I love that kid.

“Leon ... why look at me like that?” asked Chiren suddenly so that made Leon broke from his daydream.

“You are so beautiful,” said Leon praising his wife.

Chiren blushed in embarrassment. A red hue sprung up on his cheek.

“Eat a lot so that you and our future children are healthy walafiat.”

Chiren nodded. “You're so sweet, Leon. Let's just hope you really have changed, not because there's something you're keeping from me that you're acting sweet like this.”

The deg!

Leon's soaring. “Ehem! No.”

Drt drt …

“Your phone is vibrating,” said Chiren.

Leon looked at his dress. He finds Janetha's number calling him. Leon turns off the screen so the vibration stops.

“Why not answered?”

“Not important.”

Drt drt …

The phone is back vibrating. Leon became angry. He turned off his phone screen again.

“It's okay if you lift it. It might just be very important,” said Chiren.

“Ahhh, don't fight. You're so terrible,” ledek Chiren.

A notification came in. Leon felt so upset that he intended to turn off his phone. But a short message from Janetha that appears on the front screen of her phone makes her attention distracted. Although only a glance, the short message was able to make Leon undo his intention to turn off his phone completely.

Leon then reads the message Janetha sent. The manic returned to widen when reading the message. Although only a few words make up one sentence, it can make Leon panic. With reflex he stood up from his seat. Chiren who saw Leon's behavior became astonished.

“What's up?” ask Chiren.

“Chiren, I have to go to the office. Gala suddenly sent a message because I didn't pick up the phone from her. There are important things to do in the office tonight too.”

“Oh so? All right,” said Chiren looking disappointed.

“You eat a lot. I stayed first,” passed leaving Chiren.

Chiren stared at Leon's broad shoulder from behind. He is a little disappointed because he had to be left by Leon during their romantic dinner. Leon says there is nothing more important than his wife. In fact, it's all just sweeteners on the lips.

“Loh why come back?” chiren asked as he saw Leon had stood back before him.

“I'll just take a taxi. You bring the car to go home to the mansion,” gives the car keys.

“Good. You be careful on the road,” said Chiren.

“You too, be careful while driving. Don't speed,” said Leon.

Chiren nodded. He smiled back. Walah was only a small concern, but it was successful in making Chien flowery. Obviously because Leon never cared about her all this time. So when Leon says a short sentence that contains attention, the woman immediately clepek-lepek, like just feeling love.

Drt drt …

“Halo, Sister Gala?”

“Chiren where are you? Are you with Leon?” ask Gala from behind the phone.

“I—iya. A few seconds ago.”

“You mean?”

“Leon is gone when received a short message from Kak Gala.”

“Short order? What do you mean?”

Chiren frowned. “Not Kak Gala contact Leon to get to the office soon huh?”

Gala speechless.

“Halo ... Brother Gala?”

“Where are you now?”

“I'm at restaurant Seafood.”

“Do you and Leon have dinner there?”

“Iya Brother.

"All right then. Go straight home to the mansion alone and don't meet anyone again!”

Tut tut tut …

Gala turned off the phone. Chien was very confused. He began to suspect. His feelings raged between believing or not believing in Leon's words. It was because of Gala's way of speaking when she called him. He suspected that Leon might lie to him again.

“Why is it as if Gala's sister is confused when I say that she sent a message to Leon? Something's not right. My heart has become unsettled.”

Chiren looked at the car keys on the table. He immediately grabbed the car keys and left the place. Not to forget also he left some cash sheets to pay for the food they had ordered.

“I have to find out!”
