The Successor of the President
Episode 19's.

Ever since that night, Alden hasn't talked much, including to Hanna. He even always went out early in the morning and came home late at night, even he had to eat outside to avoid quarrels with Cindy and David, because every time faced with the two people, his blood must have gone up.

Alden didn't want Hanna to say she had no ethics and no shame if she couldn't help herself and fought back with Cindy and David.

He also did not want to argue with the woman and end up bringing up the pain he wanted to forget.

This afternoon, Hanna was sitting alone in the gazebo, a gentle breeze blowing across her face. He was aware of Alden's changing attitude, but he tried not to care and enjoyed his days in this luxurious mansion. When else could she be the queen who was always served and did nothing?

"Rilene."

Hanna turned her head as someone called Raline's name, it seemed like she was getting used to using that name.

"You? What the hell are you doing here?" scowl Hanna when she saw David was already standing behind her.

"May I sit down?" david asked without paying attention to Hanna's question.

"Just sit! I'm going!" Hanna got up and wanted to leave, but David quickly held his arm.

Hanna reflexively brushed off David's hand violently, "Let go of me! Don't try to touch me!"

David was surprised and looked at her hand that was pushed aside by Hanna, then looked at the woman.

"Ral, why are you so rude now?" david asked in surprise, Raline who he knew was never rude even though she was angry.

Hanna was stunned as she gulped, she was suddenly agitated, afraid that David would realize that he was not the real Raline.

"You've changed, it's like I've seen someone else in your form" David said.

Hanna was getting anxious and nervous.

"Every human being can change, including you," replied Hanna.

David's face turned soft, "I never changed, Ral. I'm still the one, I still love you like we were together. Can't you feel that?"

Hanna is stunned, she is increasingly curious about the past of David and Raline, what is the relationship between the two? But how did he find out? He couldn't have asked David. He also did not want to continue to serve this man, because he was afraid for a long time his skit was revealed.

"Why are you silent? You can feel my love, right?" David confirmed.

Hanna shakes. David sighed in frustration, he was disappointed because his great love could not be seen by Raline.

"Ral, what should I do to make you believe that I still love you? What do I have to do to make up for all my mistakes? Say, Raline!" fretful David was anxious, he started to get emotional with all this rejection.

"Why do you show your love and want to make amends? You're forgot? I belong to someone else now, I'm your sister's wife" Hanna said, at least those words are all she can say to stop bothering David.

"He's not my brother!" david snapped annoyedly, "And I don't care if you're married to him, I'll take you back if you part from the son of a bitch."

Hanna was astonished, it turned out that David loved Raline to blind her eyes and heart.

"Sorry, David. I can't!" Hanna hurriedly left David before the man became more and more.

Without David and Hanna noticing, someone had been watching them from a distance.

Twelve o'clock at night, Alden who had just returned home walked into his room, but he was surprised to see Hanna still awake and sitting quietly on the sofa.

"Finally you're home too!" sindir Hanna's.

"Why haven't you slept?" alden asked as he opened the suit he was wearing and threw it on the sofa.

"I'm waiting for you" replied Hanna.

Alden frowned and looked at Hanna suspiciously, "What are you doing waiting for me? Want to make a storm and argue again? Next time, I'm lazy to watch you."

Hanna snorted dejectedly, "Ish, it turns out to be true, your stepmother said, you've always been prejudiced against others."

Alden suddenly glared, "Hey, you!"

Hanna exhaled indifferently and then got up from the sofa, "Go take a shower, I'll make you some warm tea, let your body be fresh."

Alden was stunned looking at Hanna who was walking leisurely towards the door then exited.

"He why? It's weird!" muttered Alden while scratching his head, his emotions that had been provoked immediately evaporated to get the attention of his wife.

"Don't let him slip!" guess Alden as he walked into the bathroom.

Moments later, Alden came out of the bathroom and was astonished to see the empty room, nobody. His attention then turned to the open balcony door, he immediately stepped there.

"What are you doing there?" alden asked as he saw Hanna sitting by herself on the balcony.

"Seeing the stars while enjoying the night breeze," Hanna replied, her gaze straight up into the sky.

"Tumbens! Usually at this hour you've been sleeping and snoring" Alden said.

"Whisper! Already, that's the tea. Drink up!"

Alden grabbed the warm cup of tea that Hanna had prepared for him, slowly sipping the tea, as the warm taste gushed into his throat.

"Can I ask you something no?" Hanna suddenly asked.

"Ask what?"

"How many of your ex-girlfriends are there?"

"Oh, so this is why you waited for me and made me some hot tea? You want to talk about my life apparently," accuse Alden.

"Cckk, just answer what's the trouble, anyway? No need to accuse me of anything!" grouse Hanna.

"All right, I'll tell you a little. Since long ago I have always been the most popular guy in school and on campus, even wherever I am" Alden said arrogantly.

"That's arrogant!" hanna Cibir.

"I'm serious! Many girls who chase me and ask to be my lover, if beautiful I accept and after I get tired of leaving," continued Alden proudly.

"It's worth it now that you're dumped, that's karma!" hanna taunts.

Alden glared sharply, "Hee! No need to remind me!"

Hanna chuckles amusedly.

"If Raline? You know not his ex?" ask Hanna later.

Alden paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Then you don't know? Did Raline ever tell you about her past?" hanna Cowboy.

"I never want to know about his past, because I don't care" Alden replied then sipped the warm tea again.

"Yes, who have you heard that from?"

Alden shook his head again as he placed the empty teacup on the table, then looked at Hanna suspiciously.

"Why do you suddenly want to know about his past?"

Hanna was speechless and gulped, she had to find a reasonable excuse. But his brain is not thinking well at the moment. But he got an idea to run away.

"Oh, my stomach hurts so much!" Hanna suddenly grimaced as she held onto her stomach, "it looks like I caught a cold from sitting outside."

Hanna hurriedly ran in to avoid the husband's suspicion.

Alden breathed a tired breath and looked at the star-studded sky, suddenly he missed Raline.

"What are you doing now? Do you miss me too?" alden said sadly.
