The Destiny of a Substitute Mother
Chapters. 91

"If she were here it would be fun, wouldn't it, Mama?" ask Jesper to Dee.

Dee just gently rubbed Jesper's hair. Not answering anything.

"Mama, said the food people made by Mama was delicious, would Mama cook for me. Papa doesn't have to be made if it's just upsetting Mama."

Dee glanced at Kane who was staring intently at his son.

"Look at me like that, Papa, always scolding me. I'm sure if Mama were here Papa wouldn't scold me anymore. Mama's gonna stay here, right?"

Dee shook her head. "No, Mama will be home later" Dee said.

"Going home? Why not stay here?"

"There are things that can't be done because we have a good reason for that. You have to understand even if you can't understand it. However, if you want to see Mama or meet Mama, you can call and we'll meet."

"Ma, did you not love me until you left me from childhood. Now that we've just met, are we leaving again? Don't you miss me when I miss you so much and wait for this moment to come" asked Jesper.

"I ... ." Dee lowered her face. It felt crowded when his son was showered with various questions that were difficult for him to answer.

Dee wiped her tears and smiled at Jesper.

"You said you wanted Mama to cook. We cook and we eat yuk," Dee asked to divert Jesper's questions.

"Will Mama leave after that?"

"Mama will go after you sleep. Tomorrow Mama's here again, if you want," Dee said.

"Really?"

Dee nodded. It was fortunate that Emilio had already returned home, so he would not worry about Jason.

Dee lifted Jasper's body to carry him. "It's a good thing you're not as heavy as Jason." Dee forgot about Jason. He bit his own tongue.

"Who's Jason, Mah? Is he my brother like the one in my painting?" From earlier Jesper was deliberately to corner his mother because he wanted his mother to realize that being together was better. Although her father is cold, but she has the intention of bringing her mother back.

"Jesper, you can't ask too many questions. Remember manners when talking to parents!" Kane doesn't want Jasper to get hurt because Dee already has a family of his own.

Jesper grunted in annoyance. She wants her mom to be honest, but it seems like Mama is still afraid Papa's taking Jason so she has to make other plans. That is convincing Mama if Papa really loves you Mama. It can happen if Papa expresses his love to Mama. But how?

He'll call Jason on his phone after Mama gets home. It's tough PR for him because Papa is cold and hard to understand.

The atmosphere of a clean kitchen that had never been touched since Dee left is now starting to bustle. Dee began concocting food and Jesper stood near Dee continuously. They spoke at length as they had known before.

Dee's laughter actually warms Kane's heart, but it's all just pseudo 'cause Dee's only been here for a while.

A call came into Kane's cell phone. Kane went to his study. Dee glanced over and saw Kane's departure. He sighed. Working near Kane gets his heart pumping hard. He was afraid that if it would last long then it was not good for his heart health.

"What did you get?" kane asked the man behind his cell phone.

"Master, today I'm researching if Honey Dee lives with a man named Emilio Saputra and his 4-year-old son Jason."

"Oh he did contract a boarding house in the compound but did not live together with him. In Papua I have also checked if they are only neighbors. People around think if they have more relationship but not. If you think the child is Rizky's child that's not entirely true because all this time Dee's son called him Uncle, not Dad."

"Do you have a picture of the boy?" kane's asking hit the table. So if not with Risky, who does Dee have children with? If the child is five years old it is most likely his child whom he thought died but if four years old. Everything should be clear as soon as possible.

"I'll send you, sir."

"I wait!"

Then the sound of people knocking on the door. Mr. Jhon went inside.

"Master, said Mrs Dee the food is ready."

Kane got up and went out with Mr. Jhon.

"This house feels like home when a woman comes." Mr. Jhon glanced at Kane. Kane's face was still cold with no expression.

Kane's gaze could not be separated from Dee who was sharing a big smile along with Jesper. His hands deftly did all the work and prepared the food without the help of a single servant.

Jesper's usually somber face now shone brightly, full of happiness. He seemed excited when he talked to his mother.

"You have to eat a lot to be big and smart fast."

"He's a genius kid, actually according to his ability to get into high school, it's just that I asked you to send him to Kindergarten to get along with a kid his age."

"Oh, you're in kindergarten. Where's?"

"TK Love Mother," said Mr. Jhon.

Dee swallowed her saliva hard to hear that. His face was instantly in shock staring towards Jesper. The boy smiled, hiding his panic.

"Ma, let's eat, I'm hungry. Papa, look Mama's cooking vegetables of all colors. It smells good" Jesper said, distracting himself. He glanced at Dee who was looking at him intensely like he wanted to get more explanation.

Kane as usual sat on the far side while Jesper told, forcing his mother to sit on Kane's right side. He sat next to his mother.

"Sir Jhon is coming to eat with us, I have prepared the plates," Dee pointed to the plate next to Kane.

Mr. Jhon was surprised. Kane got up and took a seat for Mr. Jhon.

"Don't I tell you that you're my father" Kane said. Mr. Jhon patted Kane on the shoulder because he was touched. He sat in that chair.

Dee started taking rice to everyone's plate. Kane observed all of Dee's motions without blinking. It made Dee uncomfortable and

"I see in the fridge there are sea fish so I cook all seafood now," Dee explained putting Kane's favorite shrimp on the man's plate.

At that time Dee's strung hair almost fell into the rice so Kane held it by hand, like making a bond in his hand, making Dee surprised. He looked at the man. Their eyes met immediately.

Jesper who saw a small laugh.
