The Charm of the Widow
Sorry if Mommy's Selfish

At the insistence of those who love Thalia, including Maria, finally the woman who had been sought by the TMC boss was willing to go home to Moohan's luxurious mansion, after a few days he and his wife were hospitalized. Maria managed to convince her best friend that Moohan really regretted her actions towards Thalia. Although Thalia was willing to be invited back there, but with various conditions that he proposed. Among other things, Moohan cannot find Thalia.

For the sake of the woman and for the sake of being close to her two sons and daughters, Moohan agreed to the harsh terms. It was fine if for now he could not explain to Thalia what had happened because he did not want to lose track of the woman who had reigned in his heart, back. After all, Moohan still had the opportunity to explain to Thalia through her mother and Maria and hoped that the mother of her son would give her a chance to talk.

"Mommy Thalia. Do you want to stop by the baby shop first? Maybe someone wants to buy a baby boy or a princess?" bargain Moohan.

"Or, would you like to stop by the fruit shop? Mommy want what fruit?" the bargain returned after a while there was no answer from behind.

Moohan turned her head towards Thalia and the beautiful woman turned her gaze outside the glass window. The handsome man then took a long breath. "Yes, I did, if Mommy didn't want anything. We go straight home," concluded Moohan as he looked at the mother.

All the way back to the mansion, Thalia who was sitting in the backseat with Madam Brenda was only silent and for a second did not want to look at Moohan who was always trying to get her to talk. Lady Brenda who was holding the baby boy shook her head slowly, gesturing for the son not to force. The handsome man sitting next to his personal driver nodded, understanding.

Upon arrival at the mansion, the presence of Thalia and her two children was greeted by the assistants with great joy. The mansion also appeared in ornaments with balloons and various toys children had lined up neatly along the room to the room that had been prepared for Thalia and her two children. Thalia's room was at the back of the mansion, as the beautiful woman requested who did not want to be adjacent to Moohan's room.

Thalia's face just got a welcome like that, there's no gurat of happiness there. There was only a little bit of comfort because there was Maria in the mansion and there was also Lady Brenda who was sincere with her. Unlike the Princess who had just got out of the car with Maria, the little girl seemed very enthusiastic and immediately flailed the colorful balloon hanging above.

"Princess play with daddy first, yeah. Let Mommy rest with the baby boy," said Moohan when they arrived at the family room. The handsome man immediately took over the Princess from the hands of Maria who had just returned home with Assistant Zack.

Thalia was about to protest when Moohan held her daughter, but the handsome man went out and opened his voice. "I will obey not to meet you in the back mansion, Thalia, but I am free to take the children to play and even invite the Princess to sleep with me. He's not drinking Asi, is he?" Moohan smiled triumphantly and then walked away from Thalia who had an annoyed face.

"Zack and you, Maria! Into my workroom now!" moohan. He then looked at the mother and gestured for her to accompany Thalia to the room.

"Ma, please make sure that your future daughter-in-law is comfortable staying here" Moohan asked, whispering and nodding her head with a smile.

Moohan who was holding the Princess immediately passed to her study, followed by Assistant Zack who was always stealing glances at Maria who walked while bowing her head beside her. Leaving Thalia still standing in the spacious living room, as spacious as the living room in Alexander's mansion. Alexander, remembering the man's name Thalia's chest suddenly felt tight. He took a long breath later.

Alexander takes Thalia from the slums, returns to his mansion and gives Thalia a luxurious life. Just like what Moohan did to her. The difference, Thalia used to be willing and happy when invited home by Alexander. Now, he was forced due to the insistence of many parties and for the sake of a baby who needs a lot of attention.

Thalia then looked towards Lady Brenda who was smiling sincerely at him and Thalia replied with a nod of her head. 'That's not the only difference. Here, my presence is welcomed by everyone. Including Mama Brenda who sincerely loves me and the kids. There, none of the Ale family cared about me. They even hostile me and incited the assistants to hate me and the barani refused my request.'

"Thalia. Come on, let's go to your room!" take Mrs Brenda, unravel Thalia's daydream.

All assistants were told to step aside. No one dared to come closer and just look from a distance. Similarly, Lady Brenda, who had just arrived at the man's mansion, could only stare in concern at the kitchen where Moohan was struggling to make food.

"Bi, please Auntie bring here the herbs that I asked to boil this morning." The big lady orders, parse the daydreams of the two assistants and one of them then rushed to the kitchen to take herbal drinks for the new mother.

"Here, Madam." The aunt kept a glass of brownish-yellow drink on the nightstand.

"Thank you, Bi. You can go back to the back." Madam Brenda smiled kindly at the two assistants, making the assistants who worked in the luxurious mansion of Moohan even more condescending and very respectful to her young master's mother.

"Thalia. You drink this potion before you take a nap, yeah. Let you stay healthy and your Asi is also smooth. It feels a little bitter, but this herb is very good for the health of the mother and baby. You both need to be healthy and your baby needs to grow up fast" Ms Brenda said before leaving Thalia's room. The middle-aged woman then kissed the baby boy who is now on the lap of the mommy.

"Mama stay first, yeah. If you need anything, just call Maria or another assistant," said Mrs Brenda as she patted Maria's shoulder gently.

"Oh yes, son. If you suddenly want to talk to mom, just meet mama in the room. Mama's room is next to the family room earlier," added Mrs Brenda before actually leaving Thalia's room.

Thalia nodded her head while smiling.

The beautiful woman then breastfed the baby boy, after Mrs Brenda disappeared behind the door of her room. She kissed the baby's tiny hands and smiled at the baby, as if the baby understood. Thalia then asked her son to speak.

'They all accept you well, son, and give you a special place as well as your brother in the heart and in this mansion, your grandmother and your father. The man even wanted to acknowledge Sister Princess who was not her flesh blood as her child. Mommy admits they are good people, but I don't know why mommy hasn't been able to accept all this, son. All the pain that mommy has experienced, still imprint in the heart.' Thalia sighed heavily, her mind at war.

"Pardon mommy if mommy is selfish" he murmured while looking at the sinless face of the son.

"Would you like to hear my story this time?" maria asked, who was hiding, into Thalia's unlocked room. "I hope you don't reject it like you did when you were in the hospital, Thalia," he continued, expectantly.

"Is that about him again?" guess Thalia, cynical.
