"Leonah ... Never mind. Don't be angry anymore. Today is our daughter's wedding day. It's not good if someone hears. They're going to have weird thoughts" Jordan said.

"How can I calm down. Zion's really testing my patience. I never thought that the boy I thought would always boast of me and understand what I felt was betraying me. He's disappointing me so much, Jordan." Leona wiped away the tears on her cheeks. It's been hard for Leona to calm down since she heard the news that Zion was leaving for Las Vegas.

"I know Zion must have her own reasons why she did all this. Zion is our son. We should have understood it better. When did he break our hearts and disappoint us? It was never not. He's a very obedient boy. Even saying rudely in front of us he never. For this problem, as parents we should support the decision taken by Zion. No longer complicate it. Even if he has to get back together with that woman we have to try to accept that. Our job is one. We have to help him investigate the woman's identity if Zion wants to be with her later. But if he doesn't come home with that woman, we just need to be free to forgive Zion today. I know it won't be that easy. But, there is no harm in forgiving our children when they make mistakes. Didn't our parents forgive us every time we made a mistake?"

Leona sighed and tried to calm down even though it was hard for her to do so. "alright. I'll try to stay calm. But as a mother I was very disappointed. I can't act like everything's okay."

"Take this as the karma we have to accept because we used to disappoint our parents. This is how our parents used to feel when we let them down."

Jordan pulled Leona's body and hugged her. The man rubbed Leona's back feelingly. He had almost run out of ways to persuade his wife. It felt like the man was eager to contact Zion and scold her son directly. But he also did not want to make Zion hate him.

"Yes, don't be angry anymore. Norah's wedding reception is about to begin. You better go now to get ready. We'll be heading to the party soon. Learn to put a sweet face in front of everyone." Jordan pulled both of Leona's cheeks to make the woman appear to be smiling. "Well, if it's like this you look really sweet. This is the new Leona I've always loved."

"Did your love disappear when I was pouting?" leona asked with an annoyed face.

"Actually I will still love you even if you are in a pout. Sometimes it feels a little different. If it previously tasted very sweet, but this time it was a little sour," led Jordan with a facial expression that was so serious.

"You're getting older the more we talk about." Leona got off the sofa and walked to the dresser. She is already wearing nice and beautiful clothes.Just need to tidy up her makeup which does happen to look messy especially in the hair. Jordan still remained sitting on the sofa while watching Leona from a distance.

"Why the older you get, the sexier you get. If it's like this, I'm going to be crazy about you, "praise Jordan to make Leona blush. Although it was simple, but the man had already managed to make Leona forget a little of her disappointment.

"You can do this" chirped Leona before looking at her reflection in front of the mirror.

...***...

It's not just Leona and Jordan who are aware of Zion's departure. It turned out that Opa Zen had also known this news. That night Opa Zen sat on the beach accompanied by Opa Lukas. The two of them decided not to join Norah and Livy's wedding reception like the others because they knew it was only suitable for young people. Old people who used to be called opa like them were not worthy to join at that reception.

"It seems like our grandchildren are acting up again. We are old. Our grandchildren aren't so many but there's always stories they make." Luke opened the conversation that night.

"If I may ask, do you know who Faith really is, boss?" There was emphasis in Luke's question that night.

Opa Zen nodded. "I knew from the beginning. But I don't know where to talk from. I don't think Faith's a big threat to our family. Including Dominic. So I decided to just shut up and keep these secret meetings. It's a shame I found out this information after Livy and Norah went to the hospital."

"Do you want to tell me, boss?Looks like here you're the only one who knows about the big secret that Faith has." Luke seeks information from Opa Zen. It turns out that the man had secretly sent a spy to investigate Faith's life but the results failed. Luke Faith comes from an ordinary family. There's nothing special there.

Opa Zen looked at the face of Opa Lukas intently. "Everything is related to Zean. I know you won't forget that guy's name. Her name is always associated with Leona."

Opa Lukas was stunned to hear it. "Zean?" ask him again to make sure that what he heard was not wrong.

"Yes, I'm sure when Leona and Jordan hear this, she'll be shocked too. Faith and Dominic are sisters but they are different mothers. When you were in Las Vegas I secretly met Faith at Gold Dragon's headquarters. It was exactly an hour before Leona got there. I told Faith all these secrets. The boy did not seem to believe my explanation. She's a very stubborn woman as it turns out. I said what it is. I also told him that if he loves Zion he'd better be able to pass this information on to Dominic so that in the future there are no more problems."

"That means when he tells Leona that he doesn't actually love Zion, it's just a trick he used so he could break free from the Gold Dragon headquarters?" guess Opa Lukas.

"Yes. If Leona knew from the beginning that Faith was Zean's son, she wouldn't let him go. The woman will protect him. This would set a limit for Faith to reveal the real secret to Dominic. When Dominic finds out that Faith is his half-sister, he will never wish to marry Faith again. Inevitably the man will let Faith love another man. For a few weeks this Faith assignment in Las Vegas was simple. She seduces Dominic into doing a DNA test. That's the only way to prove that they're really siblings. When everything is revealed, Faith contacts Zion again and asks her to meet him. Actually the one who wanted to talk to Zion wasn't Faith, but Dominic. That's what kept me calm when I found out that Zion was leaving for Las Vegas."

"You always know information that no one else knows, Boss. As an Opa you are amazing. But it wouldn't hurt if we told Leona all these truths so she could be much calmer. It looks like he's been very agitated since then."

"We don't have to do anything about this. Let's see how Zion struggles to get the blessing and forgiveness of her biological mother. If we keep helping them when we're not around, they'll lose their way. It's the same way we make them independent."

"Well, this time I agree with you. At least we know that Zion's coming home safe."

Opa Zen only nodded before looking at the beach again. There was a smile on his lips.

"Every problem has a solution."
