"Come on." Laura gestures for them to ride, playing her son Eros who wants to take pictures with their 'new' mother.
Yujerian's gaze was momentarily seized by the figure of a man standing not far from them, he could instantly recognize as Hestia's father.
"Koroshu." [Kill.]
Yujerian turned to his sister who was staring hatefully. Immediately he held firmly his hand, hoping Yuveria calmed down. "Don't be angry" he whispered. "Haha-ue don't like it."
The little girl seemed to be crying. But then again, if for Hestia, they were willing to do anything.

Eros doesn't really care about how the wedding party goes. If it were not for the formality, he and Hestia would just go register for marriage, be recognized by the state, then go home enjoying their time with the children.
So Eros was not too concerned that Hestia was just pretending to smile.
The night when they enter the bridal room at the top of the hotel, only Eros cares.
He let Hestia take a bath first, then went in to clean up.
As fast as lightning he came out, of course longing for his night with Hestia.
"Haha-ue tired?" Yuveria feeds the pieces of fruit into Hestia's mouth. "Yuve and Nii asked Astria Baba to prepare the fruit. If Haha-ue is tired, Haha-ue should eat a lot of amino acids."
Yujerian was busy drying his mother's hair. "Haha-ue should go to bed quickly. Eat and rest. Tomorrow Haha-ue isn't working so there shouldn't be any reason to wake up too early."
Eros' face was instantly sour. These two kids why are they so amazing?
But son, how else. So Eros sat on the bed, rubbing Yuveria's head. "You guys haven't slept?"
Both are shaken. "We want to sleep with Haha-ue."
Hestia just laughed at their behavior. "Alright, alright. Mama is full so stop. Let's sleep together."
The first night that Eros was waiting for failed miserably.
...*...
Hestia rarely interacts with men but instead Hestia does not understand the contents of their brains.
Eros seemed to be hoping to have the time of her newlyweds, but her two children were unwilling to give her the gap of even five minutes leaving Hestia.
"Haha-ue, we can't go with Haha-ue?"
Today Hestia had to return to Darius' residence. For a while, Hestia still could not ascertain whether it was safe for her two children to come along or not.
Yujerian and Yuveria could only frown, holding her hand as if she did not want Hestia to leave.
"Gomen ne, Yuuki, Yuuki. Mama'll take you guys sometime. Stay here first."
Both of them did always understand whatever Hestia said even if they had to force themselves.
His eyes briefly intersected with Eros, only making a light gesture before leaving them.
Obviously Eros would have to stay with both of them if Hestia wasn't there.
Throughout the journey Hestia only accompanied by the sound of her own senandungnya. Arriving at home at eight p.m., Darius found himself sitting on a relaxing sofa on the first floor.
"I thought you came with Eros."
Hestia smiled slightly. "His kids are still awkward coming with me."
"They accept you?"
"Of course, Pa. They're smart kids." Hestia sat down, observing Darius' face silently. "Don't you mind my stepdaughter?"
Beyond his expectations again, Darius just sipped his tea quietly. "Why should? If you accept them, then they deserve to be accepted."
"...."
"What's wrong? Any problems with the Panji family?"
Hestia just smiled forcefully. "Sorry, it's been a hassle for Papa."
When Darius gave a small smile rubbing his back, Hestia felt numb.
What exactly is he wrong here for wishing he was sorry for the past?
