The Heir's Naughty Twins
54. Liar

"Baby, ara. My two angels seemed to be having a good day yesterday. Do you remember Mama?"

Yuveria kissed his cheek. "Haha-ue went away for a long time. What is Haha-ue doing?"

"Hm? Mom talked to some old friends. In addition, Mama also went to see Uncle Al. You're going to school in a few months, right?"

"Yuve, down. Haha-ue, it's better to sit on the sofa."

"Yuuki doesn't want to hug Mama?"

"No. Go sit down."

Eros sat down on another couch when Yujerian went to get a drink despite the waiter. The boy brought a big glass of juice to Hestia, telling her to finish it until Hestia laughed amusedly.

"You guys been around?"

"Already, Haha-ue. We went with Mandala."

Yuveria did not mention Eros, but it seemed that Hestia knew Eros was coming too. After drinking according to her son's orders, Hestia returned the glass to Yujerian's hands.

"Now can you go play first? Mama wants to talk to Chichi about something secret."

"Heeee." Yuveria makes a visibly disappointed face on Eros, but she complies and leaves with Yujerian as well as Mandala.

Hestia made sure the two of them left before staring at Eros with a serious look.

"You're on the news."

Eros raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't you?"

"I don't want my family to know about them."

"It's impossible to hide for too long, Hestia."

"I knew. Just a minute."

A doubtful word.

Eros stared at Hestia's trembling hands.

To be honest, he doesn't know what it's like to be her. Eros was also the heir and he was educated hard as well. But his parents stressed with rules, not violence.

It's rubbish, Eros said. The lack of freedom and the demands that curb it make Eros want to stop being human.

But Eros did not arrive like Hestia. Shaking, fearing, hiding behind pretenses because not feeling honesty can help him.

He was always strong, and he was strong. On the other hand, it felt like he could break anytime he wanted to break.

"Hestine." Eros looked into his eyes. "I don't know how much you hate men. I also don't know how big your trauma is. I might not understand either."

"...."

"All I know is, I didn't do it so you shouldn't be afraid. I can only think of what I see and feel."

"...."

"...."

"Thank you for accepting me here even if you don't like it. I don't blame you for Yujerian and Yuveria's hatred at all. It wasn't your fault. Let's assume that it's a child's rebellion and it'll end with time."

Hestia sighed. "I think we were talking about my family. Why go there?"

"alright. Excuse me. Actually I'd like to say, don't be afraid."

The eyes were shaken for a moment.

"But I don't think you're happy to admit it so, yeah." Eros clucked. "But do your best and .... Though it sucks, if I can help, let me know."

"I'm not afraid."

Eros snoring. He had guessed.

It was a liar.

Melia had guessed, it was impossible for her to leave and just go home. Melia knows her sister well. People who are educated do things for concrete reasons from childhood.

Since she left, Melia wondered where she had gone, and what was the reason, but to know that she had to know why she had come home.

He did not expect Hestia to go to Narendra's small residence in South Jakarta.

As Melia knew, Narendra had four residences. Two Rose castles in Bogor and Star Castle in Papua, one Asgard Mansion in Depok, and another two-story small house that serves as a halfway house, Griya Aswad.

Narendra is not family friendly. They couldn't possibly lend this black house unless it had a specific purpose.

So while watching her and finding that there were many guards in front of the house, Melia wanted to contact Narendra.

"Non't now." Tamara. "You don't remember? It's time for Trika Narendra's death."

Melia flinched, somewhat forgot. "They're making a year's celebration of his death?"

"No. But do you remember how many months Narendra mourned last year? Free."

God fucking. The Narendra are famous for loving their mother so much that it feels like they worship her. There was clearly no time for Al or the Emperor or their wives to respond.

"Why is Hestia taking refuge behind Narendra?"

"From the beginning of the relationship he and Narendra's heir were good." Tamara took a cigarette from the dashboard of the car and turned it on. "But you're right. There's something he's hiding. Your brother's not the one who takes refuge if it's just for yourself."

Sipping people into Narendra is also impossible. Narendra's security is too tight. They do not hire servants, but rather raise servants to work with them. So there's no gap.

"Let's go." Melia drove forward after believing she would see nothing behind the high fence. "If it cannot be directly, it must be indirectly."

Vijas.

Hestia will definitely go see that person later.
