The Berondong Boss Reserve
Request

Spoons and forks slipped out of Charlie's hand. All were speechless with eyes looking at Latina and Jason. One phrase that Jason could not believe because Latina said the thing that should have been a secret.

"She just told me the happy news this afternoon. I'm so glad to hear that. Finally ...." Latina wiped the tears that had dripped. He still cries for Jason.

"Don't hear. Latina just misspoke. It's not what you guys thought." Jason took his wife's hand. "Come, Honey. I'm sorry I scolded you earlier. We better go home."

"You're still in touch with that woman, Jason?" ask Vera.

"What are you doing, Jason? What kind of a man are you?" cerca Meghan's.

"Why indeed?!" Jason raised his voice. "I love Nelis, and you know it."

"You already have Latina and you're still in touch with that cheap woman. You impregnated her and made your wife hurt. You still in your right mind?"

"It's none of your business, Meghan!"

"It's my business!" Meghan is not losing. "I wonder where your eyes are. Latina, even better and more everything than Nelis. You know the reason why we all disagree with him, right? You know that!"

"Just because he's the son of a drug addict, you feel that's inappropriate? That wasn't his fault. Now Nelis has my son pregnant and I have to take responsibility!"

"Stop!" Charlie refutes.

The one sitting in the dining room was silent. This is not happy news because no one is happy to hear this notice. Maybe this is called disgrace.

"Latina, what do you want from us? I'm sorry for Jason's behavior towards you. We thought you were happy, apparently you were depressed about all this. Son, tell us what you want. I know, this can't change what's going on" Charlie said.

"Dad, Mom, I want you to make a will."

"More to the agreement. I know, in one year, Jason's gonna divorce me. He's marrying Nelis. I don't want it. If Jason does that, I want you not to give the Veerhag family a last name on the name of the child to be born."

"Stop doing this, Latina." Jason tried to warn me.

"I want his son to remain an unacknowledged child."

"You won't be able to do that!"

"I grant your request. Meghan, call the lawyer" Charlie said. "If the child is born, then he is not entitled to the name of the family and the inheritance."

Latina smiled hearing that. "Thank you, Dad."

"You must be crazy. The baby Nelis was carrying was my son! Your grandkids."

Jason did not think. How could his parents comply with Latina's request? They should have been happy to hear this news, then dumped Latina from the family list.

"You think we're happy, son? If you don't hurt Latina, we'll be happy. Where's your heart, Jason? You even told your wife in person. Didn't you hurt your mother, too. I'm a wife. Of course it hurts to hear my husband with another woman" Vera said softly. "Latina, you deserve to be happy. I won't stop you from being with Jason anymore. Leave him, son. You deserve to be happy with another man."

Latina shakes. "I can't separate from Jason. Not yet."

There are things Latina can't tell me. It's about him, Jason, and Dean.
