Substitute Woman
Muffle Emotions

"Papa" Ryan's pinned call to Dio shocked everyone. Especially Ades, he felt confused why Ryan called the word papa to Dio.

"Hi little boy, which papa are you. I'm not your papa?" Dio squatted as high as Ryan and rubbed his head gently.

"I want to have a papa like you" he said so innocently that he made Dio smile.

Dio took her and walked towards Ades. Now they look so harmonious, the faces of Ryan and Dio are indeed so similar. Trunk splintered in two. A smile on Kanaya's lips. He was satisfied now to see Ivanka's paled face.

"Got you" he said in his heart.

"Whose son is he?" he asked his wife Ades.

"I.. that" Ades could not say that it was Adrian's son after the incident Ryan called Dio papa. Moreover, his face was so very similar. Is this little boy Dio's son? Could it be that Kanaya meant asking about that time just to hear her opinion?

"He's Adrian's son, written on a sheet of DNA test paper".

"Maybe a child's instincts are much more sensitive to who his father is than the result of a meaningless paper" Kanaya sneered at Ivanka.

Dio looked at Ivanka, but he only caught a glimpse. But now he looks at her for more clarity

"Isn't she the woman at the club" Dio tried to remember Ivanka's face. He remembered it faintly, yet was not so sure of him or not the person. His face was similar, but the woman in front of him looked more mature than the woman who had spent all night with him.

"Dio introduce her to the mama of the child you're holding now. Her name is Ivanka" Kanaya introduces Ivanka to Dio. Ades was angry and jealous of her husband. He also felt annoyed, as if he did not appreciate himself. Deliberately introducing a woman before his eyes. Really painful.

"Oh yes Dio" said Dio extending his hand.

"I.... Ivanka" her hands were so cold as she welcomed an introductory hand from Dio. Dio seemed not too bothered by Ivanka's presence. But it was Ivanka who looked wrong and felt awkward.

This time Adrian was so fascinated by Kanaya's ingenious plan. He was so proud of his elegant wife's act of humiliating Ivanka. No need to waste excess energy to drop his pride. He admired her so much, admired her even more. Clever, clever and controlled. It's really incredible. She was happy because Kanaya believed that the child was not her child. How not, Kanaya always makes Adrian fall in love again and again to Kanaya.

"Include this, Ades my wife" Dio smiled at Ades and introduced herself to Ivanka. There was a bit of happiness in Ades' heart because Dio was not shy about admitting her as a wife in front of the person he had just met. Though it is a natural thing, but something as simple as it can make the hearts of women feel they are very valuable.

"Hi Ades" said Ivanka awkwardly. I want to feel Ivanka running out of the circle that strangles her so that she can't breathe. Especially now that he felt very embarrassed by Adrian. Maybe he'll investigate Ryan and request a DNA retest. Why is it so complicated like this? Ivanka was so frustrated because all this was outside of a well-organized plan. Where should he shake and destroy the household of Adrian and Kanaya?

"Are you with each other?" Ades asked Ivanka, she just wanted to get straight to the point. Convincing about Ryan's presence, according to his little heart Ryan is Dio's son. Although he tried to toughen up but actually the urate of anxiety was so visible on the face of his adorable pottery.

"We've never known each other, we've only seen each other once".

"She helped me" said Ivanka, there was a slight sense of tightness in her speech. It sounds so heavy, there may be a story behind it.

Adrian just observes and doesn't think anything. It's hard to guess and guess all this. Only one thing is certain now that he feels. He's messing with Ades. Hoping he'd be strong to accept it if Ryan was Dio's son with Ivanka. When do they know each other? That's what happened to Adrian.

"Then I want to say goodbye. Come on baby we go home first" Ivanka asked her son who still holds Dio's hand so tightly. Ades was surprised, could this be an inner bond as said by Kanaya earlier.

"But yayan wants to be here" his typical babble with a little slurred speech.

"Let's come again" persuaded Ivanka, to have Ryan go with her now.

"Here baby, want to hold the belly of aunty no. Here there is a baby girl" now Ades tries to be friendly and calm first. Although it was heavy, he had to do it like Kanaya usually taught. Always be calm in the face of any problem. Sure there must be a way out.

Ryan spontaneously approached Ades and stroked his soft belly with his small hands. His fingers were so fine that they touched his stomach like a sting. There was a strange feeling tickling at him. Something warm, as if giving strength to him. Ades could not afford to hate the little boy in front of him now. Had he really been Dio's son, he would have had to learn to accept it from now on. Ades decided this.

"We go home first yes, mama bought me a new toy that Ryan wanted. Okay" Ryan finally wanted to be persuaded by Ivanka to go home with a nod of her head.

"Thank you" Ivanka told Ades. The smile she gave off was like a smile feeling bad. But when his eyes looked at each other with Kanaya. It was precisely the spark of anger that was fixed for Kanaya. He could not underestimate Kanaya, he was so astute as to make himself feel humiliated.

"Our business is not finished. I want to talk about something important for my son's future".

"So never try to dodge Adrian" Ivanka tried to vent her frustration to Adrian. Actually he was eager to vent his current emotions to Kanaya. He was afraid it would be fatal to him. He was also afraid to talk to Adrian, but it was much better. Maybe he won't bother her too much.

"Let's just relax I'm not running. Please call me, whenever you want to meet and talk about this I will see you" Adrian now so casually respond to every word Ivanka. He learned from his wife to be calm. If previously he would be easily provoked by emotions, now he must be able to emphasize all his emotions.

"Send your account number, I'll give money for my son to go play" Adrian showed more unpredictable attitude by Ivanka. So not appropriate for performance. Ivanka also sent a message with her account number.

"I've transferred" Adrian now smiled at Ivanka. Handsome, like that now form Adrian. A smile so precious from Adrian. A smile that he so rarely gave and showed from the face of his look so cold. Ivanka has no power to resist this blessing. It was that face that made him so crazy. That sweet smile that he always wanted to see every morning greeted him upon waking up

"I'm not in dream" he said in his heart. Indeed, now he felt flowery, unable to hide the joy of his heart to get a smile from Adrian. The look on his face turned happy instantly, especially plus seeing the nominal money sent by Adrian. Now really feel very happy, and think Adrian accept himself and Ryan to be present in his life.

"After this, just wait for my revenge Kanaya. I'll make the calculations with you. I made sure Adrian would choose me and leave you" Ivanka said in her heart.
