THE CHILDISH MAFIA THIEVES HEARTS
40. A MOTHER'S WARM EMBRACE

"Young master."

"Why? You don't want to marry me either? You don't love me?" It seemed like the handsome boy was very sensitive because his desire was rejected by the father.

"Of course I love you very much Young Master."

Hera tried to speak as gently as possible to her little employer. She clasped Deon's tiny hand affectionately. Understanding the meaning of a marriage. Right now they were in Deon's room, it was time for the handsome boy to take a nap.

Hera accidentally talks while Deon is about to take a nap, so she has plenty of time to explain to Deon about the wedding.

"Young master, I'm so happy you're willing to protect me. But getting married is not that easy and simple. Besides, if you just want to protect me, you don't have to marry me. And you are certainly entitled to me, for you are my employer." Hera gave understanding to Deon.

"Do you just think of me as your master?"

"If I can be honest, I actually love you more than that. You are like your own child to me. Forgive my sass for considering you such a young master." While looking down, Hera apologized for being presumptuous to regard Deon as her child.

Without Hera noticing, Deon's eyes were glazed over. He hugged Hera tightly. Spilling all the tightness that was neatly stored in his sanitary napkin all this time.

Hera let Deon cry in her arms. Without feeling his tears also flowed down his smooth cheeks.

"You know Hera? All my life I've never felt a mother's affection. And Daddy, you know what he looks like. I feel like I live a kara. I never felt enough love from my parents. I'm lonely Hera. I'm alone." While shedding tears Deon spilled all his sorrow.

"Sstt... That's not true. You are never alone, young master. There are many people here who love you. And Mr. Tama also loves you very much. It's just that he doesn't know how to show it properly. Never think that you are alone."

"But no one loves me like you."

"There's a young master. Your Daddy's love is so much bigger than mine. It's okay if Mr. Tama can't always be there when you need him. Now I'm here with you. I'll never leave you before you alone want me to go."

"Promise?"

"Yes, I promise."

"So we really can't get married?"

Hera could not help but laugh at Deon's question. The boy was thinking of marrying her. Isn't she so adorable?

"Don't cry anymore, okay?"

"Hm." Deon nodded in understanding.

"Now it's time for a nap."

"certain. Come here my handsome young master."

Deon immediately slid into Hera's arms. She smiled enjoying Hera's loving embrace.

"Warm. So this is what it's like." Deon muttered while closing his eyes.

"I wish you were always happy. Don't be like me."

Hera prayed in her heart for the happiness of her young master. He knows what it feels like to be lonely. Because he had lived such a life for a long time. So hurtful. And Hera doesn't want Deon to experience the same thing with her.

It didn't take long for Deon to fall asleep in the arms of his mother. Hera smiled at Deon who looked comfortable in his arms, she loved her young master very much.

After making sure Deon was fast asleep, Hera immediately went out and returned to her room to rest as well.

"Thank you."

Hera was stunned to hear a voice that was familiar to her. The voice of the person he feared so much to this day. Hera lowered her head not daring to stare at her interlocutor.

Tama walked over to Hera, then stood before her.

"Thank you for loving my son." Said Mr. Tama.

He had thought that it was Hera who had influenced Deon to marry him. But after hearing and seeing firsthand how Hera loved her son, Tama realized that her thoughts were wrong.

"I'm sorry that I was so presumptuous to regard young Master Deon as my own son, Sir." Hera said as she continued to bow. He was afraid that Mr. Tama would get angry and punish him again.

"No. I should've apologized for misunderstanding you."

Instead of being happy, Hera shuddered in horror at Mr. Tama's words. He apologized to Hera who was just a waiter? Did ya? Is that guy really Mr Tama?

"That's not necessary sir. I should have loved Young Master Deon." Hera stammered. It was very strange to hear Mr. Tama say those words. Pardon you? Can Hera register this to a record muri? This is a very rare occurrence.

"Then get some rest!"

"good. Excuse me, sir."

Hera rushed away from there. Leaving Mr. Tama with his guilt. I don't know on what and who exactly the regret was aimed at her.
