The Love of Mr. Erick
GCTE | Chapter 141

Right at midnight. The wind gently swelled against the skin. Erick walked over with his shoulders sluggish, he walked from where he parked the car, now approaching the bakery and cake shop owned by Elena who had closed, seen a small board hanging in front of the glass door that read 'closed' and the atmosphere looks dark.

Worries stirred by the threat that had just been presented Sarah, making Erick very frustrated, after his father was now a hellish woman was also targeting the wife, how did he not get upset? how is he not worried? his father is still struggling between life and death in the hospital, not to mention the problem of the company that has not found a bright spot while the top brass and shareholders continue to urge him to step down. Erick couldn't possibly back down, the Davidson's company was his big family dream, his father had entrusted and put that responsibility on his shoulders, how could he let him down?

Erick let out a rough breath, the air outside was getting colder, but he did not want to move. His head was getting heavy, many thoughts were piling up without him being able to control. But Erick can't continue like this, at least he must still be able to protect Elena and her father who is now still in critical condition, so that he can stay focused on the problems in the company.

Once again, Erick sighed until he felt the carbon dioxide that he released until it formed dew in the cold air. Until now Erick had calmed down enough because his Elena was fine, he had deliberately come here to check it out. No one knows when Sarah acted, she must still anticipate, in this case Elena is completely innocent, she must remain safe and under surveillance.

He'll think of another way to protect Elena and confront Sarah's threat. Erick was about to return home, it was almost morning, he did not want to disturb and the atmosphere was getting quieter, but when he turned around someone called his name.

"Brance ... "

Erick turned. It was not a dream at all, he saw Elena was there.

Another case of Elena who feels strange because of the middle of the night like this is Erick in front of her shop. The atmosphere of the road in front of them was already very quiet, no more humans passing by just a few vehicles passing by.

What made Elena increasingly curious, from the direction of looking at Erick looked so sad, his shoulders were lethargic, his two eyes were haunting a lot of pent-up sadness and heavy burdens. What problems are happening now getting worse? unusual Erick looks like this, for Elena, Erick is a genius man who can always be relied on, a smart leader and can solve problems quickly. But look at it now? it felt like Elena was looking at Erick like a stray kitten and desperately needed someone beside her.

Slowly, Elena stepped closer and closer, under the slightly dim street lights the two of them stood face to face, the light shining right above the two.

From this close distance, Erick could clearly see Elena who seemed fine. Thank goodness, that relieved a little of his heart. But he still has to be vigilant, Erick promised in his heart will take care of Elena, however his wife should not be touched by people who intend to tell him.

"Why are you here?" Elena asked after a long time they just silently looked at each other.

Erick shakes. "Nothing."

"liks. Your eyes say otherwise" said Elena.

Erick snorted amusedly, it turned out that he could not hide it on Elena. But he didn't want to make Elena worry, just enough of him to endure all this.

"Really, nothing." Erick approached, his hand stretched out slipping Elena's hair behind his ear.

"I just want to see how you are, thank God you're okay."

Erick's fingers rubbed the surface of the woman's skin, looking at her fixedly. Elena felt warmth in every touch of the man.

"Tell me, if everything is heavy. I don't know what you've just been through, but it must be hard, right? if you want to share just a little bit of your burden, I'll be here to listen" Elena said.

Hearing her slowly make the look on Erick's face change, the man immediately turned his face away, not wanting Elena to see her who was so weak.

But it was immediately known Elena, the girl approached, Elena's hand managed to turn Erick's face back, looked at him, and Erick's eyes were reddened and glazed.

"It all feels heavy, right? share that burden with me."

"No. I can get through it myself." Elak Erick.

"I believe you can get through it. But you need someone to support you, and I want to do it for you,"

"For your feelings it's on me."

Erick shook his head, desperately holding the clear crystal that was trying to escape from his eyes. His legs seemed to hold back for him to approach, but when he saw Elena's sincere expression, Erick could not hold the prestige within him anymore. Then slowly he eroded the distance between them until the distance was destroyed, Erick penetrated into Elena's embrace which was so warm to his heart.

Elena's tiny body did not reach Erick's neck, so the man tightened closer to Elena's waist with his hands, while his face now sank in the recess of the girl's neck.

Elena rubbed Erick's head gently. Just this time he saw the weak side of someone who was usually so strong he saw. Erick who is like this is so fragile as if he needs full support from his loved ones.

"Everything's been heavy lately, baby. I can't face it alone, I need you by my side."

...---------oo--------...

"I don't know how Mona would react after getting word that you're her real father, but I can be sure she'll be very disappointed."

Sarah said, Winston beside her shook his head.

"We just try to tell you first, no matter what the reaction will be I will accept it. The sooner the better, once you've taken care of your divorce with Rey, I'll take you two to start a new life together as one whole family."

Winston was so sincere to Sarah, the 55-year-old man was willing to celibate until now because he faithfully waited for the woman. Winston and Sarah used to be best friends from high school to adulthood, Winston and Sarah had felt the love of adolescence until finally they kebablasan do a relationship outside the marriage even though Sarah did not regret it as well as Winston.

Until they arrive at a ripe age, Winston intends to propose to Sarah, unfortunately Sarah actually first smitten with a rich young businessman who is also Winston's friend, Rey.

Rey already had a wife, Winston knew very well how traces of Casanova Rey at that time, Winston, he always warns Sarah not to be tempted but Sarah who has been lulled by the attention and wealth of Rey only considers the wind and Winston's warning. She sacrificed herself as the second.

Heartbroken, Winston finally leaves Sarah he fights for his life to become rich and prove to Sarah if she can be like Rey. Without Winston knowing, when he left after the marriage of Rey and Sarah who was secretly carried out, at that time Sarah was pregnant with her child.

Amazingly Sarah can trick Rey into believing that the child in her birth four months before their marriage was Rey's child, but in fact it is a seed that Winston accidentally entrusted.

"No Winston. I can't go with you before I take my revenge on the Davidsons. But you can take Mona and protect her before I execute a bigger plan."

"Maybe now, Rey knows Mona's not her real daughter, I don't want Mona to be their target. Please protect my daughter."

"Alright, whatever your plan I'll support. But where's Mona now?"

"Isn't he in the room?" Sarah buy.

"Nothing, I've checked it. I thought he left and you found out so I didn't ask."

"What?! don't-don't Mona!"

They both search Mona's whereabouts to all corners of the house, but do not meet. Sarah was panicking.

"Hurry and find my daughter Winston. I have a bad feeling, don't let him do anything stupid!"
