That Bastard Is My Destiny
Love That Really Exists (Among Us)

A few months later, Chris finally decides to come to Melden's mansion as Cleire's lover. Melden family as usual received the arrival of Chris which is not the first time. Considering he is Ardrich's best friend, it's no wonder he visits so often.

His arrival as a lover invited shock to some people, especially Mark who did not know what to say. Is her little daughter okay? Isn't Cleire so opposed to relationship between partners?

But beyond that, Markus was happy. My guilt for Cleire was slightly treated. It could be said that his relationship with Cleire was not so close. Her daughter was seen to keep her distance even though it was not obvious. Cleire had actually not been able to forget his mistake just like that.

He looked at his twins, Cedric and Casey. There was the same guilt in both children. At least he was calm because Elle had forgiven and accepted his two children with the woman. He was determined not to repeat the same mistake.

"What about your family?" ask Markus to Chris who is attached to Cleire.

"Don't worry. They didn't interfere with my wishes" he replied.

"It should be, indeed" chirped Elle panted. He recalls last month's incident where Kara came to him, then foolishly pleaded and apologized for Chris snatching Ardrich's lover.

"She's my stupid daughter!"

"What!" Kara stood up from her place, surprised.

"She's my daughter who loves to travel" explained Elle again.

"But you said he ... your assistant." Kara stutters in disbelief.

"Because you ask so many questions! Never mind, just let them. We don't have to interfere."

Without warning, Kara suddenly shouted in excitement while hugging Elle happily, making Elle so surprised. Kara doesn't need to feel guilty or wrong again if the truth is like this.

Even happier if it's Elle's daughter who has always wanted to see and match Chris. However, since the girl could not stay in one place, Kara could only swallow the bitterness.

Seeing Cleire was just silent without denying making Markus believe if Chris' statement was true. He sighed, then nodded. He won't try to interfere with their love affair, as Chris promises not to hurt Cleire.

"That means, the sanitary napkin you bought back then was for Cleire?" The question succeeded in making many eyes round in disbelief.

"Yes" replied Chris casually. Markus, Elle, and Casey's laughter instantly broke.

Ardrich involuntarily flushed in embarrassment. Shame because his best friend had really become his love slave Cleire. Where is your image as a man, heh!

"Shit! Embarrassment," said Ardrich.

Cedric himself wanted to drown himself right now. Because, he is also often a victim of Cleire including buying pads if in an emergency. He only wished that Cleire would not say it to the point of embarrassment.

"Not to be plain pretentious, I know daddy used to do it to mommy. You're also Ar, who filled my closet with pads to make it safe!" cleire grumbled, making the two men not wince. Cedric kept his eyes closed in fear, continuing to pray that Cleire would not engage him.

"For what shame, after all we do it for our loved ones," chris casually chanted. The speech amazed Casey and immediately applauded.

"Really! That's amazing" Casey said happily.

"Well, why talk about something like this. All of you go back to your rooms, clean yourself up" Elle ordered decisively.

Cleire, Ardrich, Cedric and Casey were only able to comply. Don't try to fight that woman. Remember, she's the Queen of this house! Elle left after seeing her children leave.

Leave two people in silence. Markus who did not talk much finally opened his voice again. " I made a terrible mistake that my children hated me. I–"

"Attacking," Chris continued, cutting off Markus' words.

The middle-aged man smiled softly, not surprised by his words. Chris should have known about his daughter if love really existed.

"I also know that Casey and Cedric are your twins with that woman" Chris said.

Mark could only stare at Chris. How many secrets do you know?

"I don't want to make a mistake like you, Markus. I won't let Cleire down."

Markus could see the seriousness in Chris' eyes. The guy's not kidding. "I don't doubt you, Chris. But, if one day you get bored or don't love her anymore, don't hurt her, just give it back to us."

His sense of regret as a father was incomparable. Cleire and all her children were the same. Just once he saw Cleire crying because of him.

"That's not going to happen" replied Chris confidently.

On the other hand, Cleire was able to hear everything. He stood leaning against the wall when he overheard Mark start talking seriously. Twice! Twice his father lied to him, hurting a child who made him a role model and first love.

"Cleire ..." Elle's voice jolted Cleire's daydream. The girl was surprised to see her mother had been standing up since she had been watching her.

"Mom–"

"I want to talk. Clean yourself up, I'm waiting in the room" said Elle briefly, leaving Cleire stunned.
