Dominic looks busy playing his phone. Now together with Zean, he is already in one of the 5-star restaurants. Zean said he wanted to have breakfast outside. Dominic complies with the man's request and takes him to one of the downtown restaurants. Dominic has no idea that Zean actually took him to the restaurant because he had arranged an appointment with Letty and her daughter.
After finishing the breakfast they ordered, Zean looked uneasy. The man could not breathe quietly because until this second Letty did not also show the trunk of her nose. Zean repeatedly dialed Letty's number and sent a short message. But there was no reply from Letty who was there. Zean was afraid that this meeting would fail.
While Dominic began to feel suspicious because the behavior of his biological father was unusual. The man dropped his phone and put it on the table and looked at his real father again.
"Why wait for someone? guess Dominic just came from. Until finally made Zean stunned by surprise.
"No. Papa doesn't wait for anyone!” zean's lie hopes Dominic believes it. Dominic still looks at his real father. Of course he doesn't believe it. Because at that time Zean's behavior was very suspicious.
Zean looked straight at the door. The man's face was visibly excited when he saw Letty and Elyna appear inside the restaurant. They both walk towards the table position Zean and Dominic are in. While walking, Letty had already carved a happy smile. Unlike Elyna who immediately nausea when seeing Dominic's face is also in the restaurant.
"Sir Zean, you're here too? Wow, what a coincidence we met today,” Letty said with a full of pleasantries. The woman immediately sat down. He also pulled Elyna's hand to sit next to him.
Dominic looked at Elyna with a look of dislike. But the man was still trying to show his polite demeanor in front of Letty.
"We're actually done with breakfast. We will be home soon too. But since we met here, we should have a chat first. It has also been a long time we do not chat casually like now.” The man linked to his 10 fingers and placed them on the table.
"Include, this is my Son Dominic.”, Zean said, introducing Dominic.
Letty smiled because she had met Dominic before. "Dominic, this Aunt Princess is Elyna,” Letty said with happiness.
Elyna and Dominic look at each other before getting acquainted. They were not happy that morning. If there's a chance to escape, maybe they'll run away soon!
"Mom, I have to go because there is an important affair.” lied Elyna so that he can escape from the restaurant. Yet Letty quickly held her hand and looked at her with such a sharp gaze. Eventually, Elyna sat in her chair. Even though his face had to be pouting.
"Dominic, don't you work?” ask Letty.
“No, Aunt. I'm off today,” Dominic replied with a friendly smile.
“To Auntie, this guy like you must be very busy. But since you love Zean so much, you're willing to take your time to accompany him to breakfast. You really are a good boy Dominic,” Letty praised. He glanced again at Elyna hoping that she would be touched by Dominic's story of kindness.
"My work is actually not too much,” Dominic replied briefly.
Letty looked towards Zion again. Now the woman doesn't want to talk much. He wants to get into the main topic immediately.
"Sir, is your son still alone? Or is there a woman whose heart has chosen?"
Zean glanced at Dominic to confirm the reaction of his son's face. She looked back at Letty after not seeing any change in Dominic's facial expression.
"My son is still alone and is looking for a mate.How about your daughter?" ask Zean back.
"Well, what a coincidence. My daughter is also alone. I am also looking for a soul mate for my daughter. How about we just match up our kids? Looks like they're a great fit."
Dominic and Elyna looked at each other without giving any response. Actually what their parents want to say has been guessed since the beginning. Even Dominic also knew that this meeting was not accidental but planned.
"Why did Dominic and Elyna not respond? Is this a sign that they both agree?” letty murmured in the heart. The woman is increasingly eager to match her daughter with Dominic's Son.
"But they just met. We should not be in too much of a hurry to match them. Let's give them a chance to get to know each other. Isn't that right, Dominic?” ask Zean with a smile. Do not forget the man patted his son's shoulder to immediately respond.
"As Papa knows. A woman like this is not my criterion at all. I'd rather not marry her all my life than marry her!" ketus Dominic while staring intently at Elyna.
Hearing the humiliation coming out of Dominic's lips made Elyna into an emotion. The woman stood up and kicked the table. "Sok a handsome one! Who do you think you are? I don't want to marry a man like you. I haven't been quiet since I agreed to Mommy's wishes. But because I'm lazy to talk to you!" sahut Elyna with a tone that is no less cruel than Dominic.
Dominic stood up too. But the man did not want to scream like Elyna. "From here we can tell who is truly uneducated!"
Without permission Dominic immediately left them all. Zean was at a loss for words, not daring to prevent Dominic from leaving. Elyna is forced to sit by Letty.
"Genea! Why are you screaming like that? That's not polite at all!” letty whispers.
"He started first. Didn't Mommy hear how she insulted me? It was as if he was the only man in the world." Elyna, who had been ignited by the flames of emotion, could not speak well anymore.
Zean was still silent in his position. The man was also shocked when he found out that the woman he had been betrothed to his son was so disrespectful. "Letty, it looks like we can't continue this matchmaking. Our child does not have a match.So we should forget it,” said Zean gave a solution.
Letty looked at Elyna's face sadly. But he also could not force Zean anymore because it was clear Elyna had shown his true nature. Letty herself would also be unlikely to be able to turn her daughter into a good woman if Elyna herself did not want to. So, inevitably he had to give up. Letty does not want the future nature of Elyna will be a problem for the Zean family. Letty also did not want to be too pushy for her daughter to match Dominic. He saw for himself how Dominic rejected Elyna.
"alright. Forgive me for interrupting your time today.”
"I'll excuse you." Zean immediately got up from the chair and left the restaurant. He knew Dominic wouldn't just leave him. His son must have been waiting for him in the car.
After Zean leaves, Letty drops her head on the table. The woman took a long breath. He looked at his daughter with a meaningful look. Want to be angry also Letty feels like she has run out of energy.
"Mommy is wrong. From home, I told you that I didn't want to meet him. My mom kept forcing me. So don't blame me if I act like that. But I didn't feel guilty for acting like that to her. Count Uncle Zean so do not like me and our matchmaking can not continue anymore. Doesn't that mean my rude attitude benefits myself?" elyna said with pride.
"Then Mama will leave it to Opa Lukas. Let Opa Lukas find you a mate. Mommy doesn't want to know. This year you should get married. Whether it's with Dominic or any guy Mommy doesn't care. What matters is that you get married! Mommy wants you to give Mommy a granddaughter right away before Mommy leaves this world!"
Elyna gave a rough breath. Again her birth mother talked about death and that made Elyna not like it. But Elyna became worried when the soul mate who would marry her was directly chosen by Opa Luke. He knew that Opa Lukas' taste was much worse than his own.
"It seems that from now on I have to find a man who wants to marry me. No papa I have to pay him as long as he wants to pretend to be my husband" Elyna murmured inwardly. The woman was really stressed thinking about this matchmaking.

Zean gets in the car and sits down next to Dominic. The man smiled looking at his son who now looked annoyed. He patted Dominic on the shoulder and smiled.
"I'm sorry, Papa. Papa knows that Papa is wrong. Papa shouldn't have behaved like this. Yesterday Papa really couldn't resist when Aunt Letty asked Papa to arrange a meeting between you two. It was originally Papa who agreed if you two got married. Papa knows that you're so busy that you never find your own soul mate. But just now when Papa saw that you were uncomfortable, Papa felt very guilty. Again forgive papa, Dominic."
"I don't care if I have to marry a woman of papa's choice. But I don't want to marry a woman like her."
"If you may know why you hate Elyna so much? Isn't she very pretty. His nature is very barbaric. But he was like that because he was the leader of the mafia. You were also looking for trouble at first. Why should you insult her like that. It was as if she was the ugliest woman in the world."
"Yes, Papa was right that she was beautiful. But unfortunately his nature is very greedy,” said Dominic. The man immediately drove his car at a moderate speed.
"Where do you know he's greedy? Have you ever met before?" Zean was getting curious.
Dominic held back his sentence. The man did not want to be flabbergasted again and let Zean know that he and Elyna had fought while in Las Vegas.
"Let's just say I can read a person's nature through his facial reaction."
Zean laughed at Dominic's reply. "After arriving at Aunt Leona's house we should get ready immediately. Looks like Papa wants to leave for Las Vegas soon. Your sister is also very busy today. Papa won't bother him."
Dominic was silent. The man continued to drive his car to Leona's residence.

It turned out that the failed matchmaking problem was not enough to just get there. Every time she met Elyna, Letty kept talking about it. Today Elyna just picked Letty home from a show held by Letty and her age friend. Elyna has rarely joined the Queen Star lately. Letty always had a way of getting in her way.
Along the way to the house, Elyna and Letty kept arguing. Neither the mother nor the child would give in. They are both stubborn. His heart is hard and his ego is high.
"Mommy also has friends who live in Korea. He has a son who has not been married until this moment. Mommy will arrange a schedule with him. Who knows if you are a match,” Letty said excitedly. Looks like the woman is completely unyielding.
Elyna let out a long sigh when she heard the ravings of her biological mother. She loved Letty, though. Although her ears were hot, she listened to what Letty said.
"Mom, instead of Mommy tired of thinking of a soul mate for Elyna, we better take a walk. We shop for example or go to a salon. Usually, mothers and children will do such a routine. After Elyna remembered back, since Elyna grew up it seems Mommy never took Elyna to the salon. We never even shop together."
"It's not that Mommy won't take you, but you're the one who rejected it yourself. Mommy used to try to make you a feminist woman. But you prefer clothes that you feel comfortable with. So now don't blame Mommy if you're like this." Letty defended herself.
"Yes, yeah. I admit I was wrong. So now, is Mommy going to the salon? If I look around again it looks like Mommy needs treatment. Mommy's face looks very dull. Mommy's nails need to be taken care of, too." Elyna accidentally searches for a place that keeps Letty busy because she is tired of hearing the babble of her biological mother. Elyna hoped that after returning from the salon later, the topic of conversation of the woman was no longer about a mate. But the problem of the salon they later visited.
"Alright, then Mommy agrees. But Mommy wants to go home first. There were some things that were left behind. Mommy has to make sure that the item is not taken by someone else because Mommy forgot to put it where."
Elyna agreed. "Okay, Mom,” answered Elyna patiently. The woman increased the speed of her car so they could get home soon.
Not long after traveling for almost half an hour finally Elyna and Letty arrived at their residence. Elyna was waiting in the car but Letty said that she would be long until Elyna decided to get down and they both went inside the house.
Letty was shocked to see the door open. Though he knew that today the workers who used to clean up the vacation home.
"Elyna, something seems to be wrong" Letty said with a watchful face.
"Mommy, come. Stay behind me,” pinta Elyna. The woman pulled out her firearm and walked into the house first. Letty was behind Elyna.
Elyna looked at every corner of her house. But he found nothing strange. Letty went straight ahead. The woman suddenly remembered the room and the valuables left behind.
"What if there's a thief coming in and now he's in Mommy's room? Lothawat! He must have taken Mommy's valuables,” Letty cried in panic. The woman ran straight to her room. Elyna also followed Letty from behind.
Letty held back her footsteps before she arrived in front of the room when she saw a man standing before her. Same with Elyna who is now also shocked not to play.
"Daddy!” shout Elyna. The woman immediately threw her firearm and ran to hug Miller who was none other than her real father!
Letty was still standing where she stood. Suddenly a circle of tears trickled down and his lips trembled. Letty did not expect that she could meet the man she loved again. "Miller, are you alive?"
