The Love of Mr. Erick
GCTE | Chapter 31

Elena stared one by one at the orphanage children who were now looking at her with tears. He bent his knees, stretched out his arms as the rows of little angels hugged him in unison, causing a flurry of excitement, Erick then came to see the sight he was wiping the ends of his eyes.

"Well Elen, there is a budhe and husband who will take care of this orphanage, you don't worry" said Ms. Kartika, a close relative of the late mother Ratna.

Elena nodded, releasing a hug she rubbed one by one the heads of those adorable children. "Thank you budhe, I'm putting them to you."

The girl then turned her head when she felt a warm hand caress on her shoulder.

"From now on this orphanage has joined the Davidson's company foundation, I guarantee their lives will never be lacking" Erick said, glancing at his wife.

The farewell event was colored with happy cries also haru. In the courtyard they delivered the bride's departure with a smile expanded, hoping that the household life they will live is always blessed and filled with happiness.

In the car that carried both, Elena looked back at the open glass black sedan waving her hand for the last time at the children as well as the people she already considered to be a very precious family to her.

Elena then returned to her seat and the car glass slowly rose leaving her busy wiping the clear fur on the corner of the cheek. Erick seemed to always observe the girl, from the way he looked so deep and intense there was a very big and sincere love for his wife. Even the driver in front who accidentally glanced at Erick in the rearview mirror was also carried away by the way Erick looked at his heart.

...***...

Arrive at Davidson mansion. The four-wheeled vehicle carrying the pair of newlyweds landed seamlessly on the courtyard of the sprawling majestic building.

Two spaced-out securities opened the car door for the young master to descend, then to Elena one security other did the same. From the direction of the main door, Mr. Rey stood handsomely while putting his hands behind his back, the man stared pongah and was full of intimidation at the son and son-in-law who he never expected.

Erick had indeed told her that he had married Elena through the intermediary of his adjutant. And of course the faces are not happy also the cynical gaze is now in the direction of his family especially to Elena who currently can only look down.

"Mr. .. "call Elena softly to Erick, he feels very foreign and the gaze of Mr. Rey and his wife and child makes Elena feel naked in public. Making her feel inferior is also worthless.

Namu's grasp of Erick's big hand immediately calmed the girl down, making Elena look back at him, from both Erick's netra like a soothing clear lake as if caressing herself saying that everything would be fine. The warm feeling that was channeled was like an electric shock that instantly sent out a vibration of security in Elena's heart.

"We will face it together, just relax you will stay safe with me" Erick said understandingly.

"Together?"

Erick nodded. "Yes of course, because you are my wife."

...***...

Plaque! one slap so hard hit Erick's cheek caused a hot sensation as well as numb simultaneously.

"Shameful! totally embarrassing!" hardik the Rey lord at his son at this time.

"Only for the sake of this pebble did you leave a diamond? you idiot!" snapped again as if there were a pile of anger that Mr. Rey is blowing at this time. It was as if slaps and swearing were not enough for one big faux pas of his son.

"And you? which magical person did you come to make my son so submissive to you huh?!" not to be missed, Elena was also the target of her anger.

"Father!" Erick stood in the middle, trying to protect his wife.

"Never say anything rude to him. If you want to punish, punish me."

Silence struck for a moment, Mr. Rey took a deep breath of silence, trying to dampen the overflowing emotions, mistress Sarah and her daughter Mona just saw like the audience.

In place, Elena was stunned to hold both arms, she lowered her head trying to hide the tears that wanted to come out.

Erick walked one step closer to his father.

"Look, what are you doing now? not only did you break a woman's heart because of your selfishness, but you also broke the great deal that almost entwined our company with Mr. Edward's company! You ruined everything Erick!"

"It's not selfishness pah. But struggle ... " said Erick later.

"Can't I fight for my happiness reward? is it during her I'm just gonna be a chess nipper for you?"

Hearing the words of the son, made master Rey gasp visible he could not dodge but his ego as a leader of a larger family made him dismiss all awareness that exists.

"Whom papa did this also for your good. Papa wants you to have a good companion, papa wants you to have offspring, a child whose mother has clear origins. Not a lowly woman like her!"

"Bah!" suddenly Erick raised a voice making everyone present gasp in shock. Just this time they heard the leader of the Davidson's company yelling especially to his father.

Erick realized that, immediately he muffled the rumble in the chest, his face that was originally flushed red now disappeared after he sighed slowly.

"I've told you never to demean her reward. "elirih Erick sounds like despair. "Now he is your daughter-in-law" he said later.

"Holy? who said I'd accept her in this family?" mr. Rey still stubbornly persisted.

"Women like her aren't cut out to be part of the honourable Davidson family."

"You've always been proud of your honorable descendants, there's no need for awareness that you've always demeaned and insulted others for that?" erick asked, trying to pull the father out of his ego.

"Don't ever lecture me!" berang mr. Rey.

"Pah please .. for once put down your ego, however I only fight for my happiness and my happiness is with Elena."

"Fuck up! until whenever I won't accept him as my daughter-in-law!" mr. Rey's ultimatum is undeniable.

"Please divorce her now or you'll leave!"

Everyone is gawking at Mr. Rey Davidson's decision. Elena looked at Erick, she shook her head.

"Just divorce me .. don't make your father angry .. "the girl's face shows a plea.

"No. Whatchu mean?" Erick took Elena's hand off her shoulder and looked at her father undauntedly.

"Well if it's papa's decision. I'm gonna get out of here."
