Marry came out of the bathroom, and had changed clothes. He doesn't want to be locked up in Kevin's apartment today, because a lot of work still needs to be done.
"Kev, Joe sent me a message. Alice is at Nana's house. He's not going to school. It seems like it was because of this problem."
Marry put the phone in his bag, then looked at Kevin who was still lying on the bed.
Kevin then got up and sat down on the back of the bed.
"Yes. I also got a message from Joe. And some meetings that I have to face today." Kevin said in a complaining voice.
Marry approached her husband and sat on the lip of the bed, gently stroking Kevin's hair, then placing a hand on Kevin's cheek.
"We have to work. Many people depend on us. Don't be selfish."
"What do you mean?" Kevin scrunched his forehead.
"You and I have employees who rely on their pay to support their families or themselves. So, we as leaders have to think of them as well. Many hang lives with us. Especially you, who have a lot of employees."
Kevin looked at Marry with a gentle look.
"I can't believe that's all you say, honey. I've never thought that way. All I think about is the huge profits, and the popularity."
Marry patted Kevin's cheek gently.
"From today on, it looks like you should start thinking about joining your brother's charity."
"Why?"
"Emily, has owned charities for various social activities, especially for children. Including a special hospital for children. That's why I idolized him."
"really?" Kevin glared in disbelief.
"Sttts.... But you don't have to tell him. I'm not feeling good."
Marry put on a hard look.
Kevin laughed out loud seeing that.
"That's not all true! I should be your idol!" Kevin half forced.
"Just kid!" This time Marry slid his palm against Kevin's back rather loudly.
"Ouch!"
Kevin was about to grab Marry, but Marry dodged faster.
"Once, get ready. I'll go to the store first, then pick up Alice at Nana's."

Marry stops her car in the yard of Sophie's house, which looks lonely, because the owner is not at home.
Ben is busy in the store, Sophie is in the clinic. And Baby Liam, his son is being deposited in Nana's house. This time, Sophie accidentally asks her neighbor for help to help Nana babysit her baby.
Nana welcomes Marry with a warm hug as she enters the house.
"What's going on?" Ask Nana full of questions.
Marry sighed for a moment.
"Misunderstand me, Nana. And I have to explain to Alice."
"He was in the room, from the moment he had not left the room at all." Nana pointed to the room Alice used to rest in when she was left in Nana's house.
Marry stepped towards the room in the corner of the room.
Tok tok!
"Alice, it's mama, honey." Marry said as he knocked on the door.
"Lake in!"
Alice answered from within.
Check lek
Marry walked into the room, and saw Alice sitting in the corner of the room with her knees bent, and chin on her knees.
Alice did not turn her head when Marry approached.
Mary took a seat beside Alice.
Marry gently stroked Alice's hair, while following the eye gaze done by Alice.
"Sunflowers in Nana's yard are all blooming. Is that you who planted it?"
Alice nodded weakly without looking at Marry.
"Why not school?" Marry asked in a soft voice.
"I'm sad!" Alice Sahut.
"Sad why?"
"I'm afraid mom and dad are going to split up and you're getting married to that aunt." This time Alice's tears were unstoppable again, she cried sobbing.
Marry smiled, then hugged her daughter tightly.
"Never will." Marry replied as she stretched her arms around Alice.
Marry stroked gently and wiped away the tears that had splashed her daughter's face
"This morning was just a misunderstanding. Brenda has only been friends with Papa Kevin. And the baby that's in Brenda's womb, it's not Papa Kevin's." Marry said as he rubbed his daughter's back.
"But, this morning, class obviously he hugged papa. I don't like." Alice's great-grandson slowly.
Marry smiled and shook his head.
"Misunderstand me, honey. Brenda is not pregnant with Kevin, but with his girlfriend. And he's confused. You know, right? Brenda is a top model and artist. She had to shoot, not to mention still having to be a model. He and Kevin are friends. So, he came to the apartment to complain."
This time Alice looked at her mother.
"Dear mom, papa Kevin?"
"of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to live in that house."
"Then, if my biological father comes, will Mama still love Papa Kevin?"
Marry was silent for a moment.
Finally he knew his daughter's anxiety. Alice was afraid that if her biological father came. He's afraid of facing the fact his papa isn't Kevin.
"I'm not leaving Kevin. What excuses? Except, Papa Kevin made a fatal mistake on me, on you. I can't forgive."
"If my biological father comes and gets Mama married how?"
"He wouldn't dare. It's papa Kevin who can force as good as his stomach!" Tukas Marry.
Alice chuckled at Marry's original speech.
"Listen, mom and dad won't be apart, not because of you. But because we love each other. And you don't have to worry. Your father is Kevin. Point. That's all."
"But I have papa's bladder."
"Alice, do you remember going to the hospital with papa? Meet with Aunt Emily?"
Alice was silent, as she tried to remember.
"What was I told to open that mouth?" Ask Alice
Marry nodded quickly.
"So your father did a DNA test on you."
"What does that mean?" Alice looked up at Marry.
"Make sure you're his daughter or not."
"Huh?" Alice looked at Marry.
"The result is 99.99% you are Kevin Mars' real daughter."
Alice widened her eyes, not believing that she was actually Kevin's daughter.
"How come? Mom said it wasn't her."
Marry was silent for a moment, while glancing at the sunflowers that began to bloom in the courtyard of Nana's house.
"At that time, your mother was very young, when you were present in this world. Mama's confused, just like Aunt Brenda. At that time, my mother had no one to trust. Mama can only try to do everything. To this day. Do you remember the picture of the father you told you?"
Alice mangguk.
"Handsome, school at MIT, is a smart guy. And I have his intelligence." Alice Sahut.
"Well, it's all Kevin. Plus, your eyes are the same, they're brown, and they're similar facial lines."
Marry held her daughter's face, then kissed her right and left cheeks.
"Why didn't Mama see him?"
"Your father was not like this time. I'm sure he'll never believe you're his son. Time answers everything. And my mom is so grateful for what she has been through until now. You should also be grateful, you have the blood of the Martian family. Don't get cocky with all your Grandpa's wealth."
Alice smiled and replied with a nod of her head.
Marry hugged her daughter back with affection.

Marry helps Nana cook and clean up the house, then dump the trash into the trash can by the side of the road.
A car approached Marry.
"Hi, Marry!" Greet Justin kindly.
"Oh, hi. How are you?"
"good. Any second?" Justin asked in a calm voice.
"What's wrong?" Marry asked full of questions.
"I'd like to ask your opinion on some things."
"About what?" Marry still looks confused.
"Get in the car, I'll show you." Take Justin.
Without thinking much, and intention to help, Marry got into Justin's car.
Justin showed Marry several models of bridal wear and wedding venues.
"What's this?" Marry asked with a look of wonder and confusion.
"Can I help me choose the right one for my show and Mia?" Justin said with a smile.
"Ah, congratulations! I'm so glad I could help you and Mia." Marry said cheerfully.
Nyes!
A moment of relief infiltrated Marry's chest. Justin asks for his opinion in preparation for his wedding to Mia. Now Marry looks at Justin and helps choose some things that Marry thinks are suitable for Justin and Mia.
Justin offered Marry mineral water. Then Marry took a sip until it ran out, because today the weather was very hot.
Before long, Marry's head felt heavy, and his vision blurred.
With the rest of her consciousness, Marry looked at the smiling Justin towards her.
"Juice... Tin... What have you done?" Marry asked trying to stay sober.
However, Marry has fallen asleep, and Justin takes her away.
