The Heir's Naughty Twins
69. You are the Mother of My Children
"May I l—ehem, I mean I—let me ask why you disappeared the last few years?"
Hestia was taught lying in front of business associates was the key to success.
He smiled very naturally.
"As the first brother and eldest daughter in this house, I feel I should know more than my younger siblings. Therefore me and Papa agreed to keep a secret for a while my departure around the world," he said shady.
Full-falsity.
"I studied different types of politics and business in each area directly. And, it would be annoying if I was known by some of my acquaintances."
The man laughed hearing that. "Miss Hestia is famous for being very competent in her work. I heard that the sale of lithium even reached various countries."
"I can't do as well as Papa."
Hestia continued to smile until the corner of her lips stiffened.
Amongst that, he glanced towards the eyes someone was looking at, finding Melia leaning there, smiling also enjoying.
He did not care about Hestia's physical reaction. He played with Hestia psychology.
I raised a monster, Hestia thought tired.
...*...
It feels so long and full of boredom it goes through this. Accompany Yohannes until the two Gouw couples come out with beaming faces.
When they saw Hestia, they greeted her so cheerfully.
"I can't wait to make you my daughter too, Hestia." Patricia Gouw cupped her face and sparkled with pleasure. "You're very, very pretty. Yohannes will be very lucky to marry you."
As expected, Hestia's jaw hurt because of a lot of smiling and laughing. He exhaled a rough breath as soon as they all came home, hoping that at least he could rest.
But suddenly her phone rang, displaying a series of numbers that Hestia had memorized.
During pregnancy, she often looked at her number on a business card.
"What's wrong?" Hestia was too tired until her voice sounded cold.
"Gow. Did they really propose to you?"
Where does he know too? "If it doesn't matter, Eros, I want—"
"Are you that weak, Hestia?"
Hestia slammed her hairpin hearing that word.
"I know that. Darius must've forced you to get married because of your age or whatever the reason he was. But you obey him? What is the difference between you and you?"
"Stop saying something like you know something about me!"
"I know."
"What do you know?! I'm a weak woman?! I'm the woman who needs help?! Men like you just always impose a will and assume that I'm—"
"You're my children's mother."
Hestia.
"And you vented your hate on all men besides Darius."
Hestia's ears buzzed.
"If the way you play is like that, then good. I'm going to announce to one world that the mother of my son is you!"
"Eros—"
The call was interrupted, and Hestia threw her phone full of frustration.
...*...
Eros ruffled his hair in frustration after the call was interrupted.
Why would he even ask Hestia to fight when she actually wanted to tell him not to do the wedding?
But Eros is more willing to swallow cat litter than to let Hestia actually marry another man when they both already have children.
"If Hestia accepts it, then it means that she assumes that it's the best way of protecting Yujerian and Yuveria," Norman d said between the silence.
He twirled the crystal ornament in his hand as Eros was busy cursing inwardly.
"If only Darius did not hate you, Boss, of course now you can seize the opportunity Yohannes through a higher offer. But yeah, that's your relationship."
Where Eros knows what he did first, not even a mistake but a victory in the business game, instead affects how he was prevented from marrying Hestia.
Is not enough of the impossible condition of the two people?
Hestia had said she would marry if her son agreed, then her son bullied Eros and said he would agree if Hestia agreed, now hindered by the old story?
Eros had an incredible headache.
