Way Back To You
I Want to Be Responsible

Noah looked at Liam who was sitting at the table with a sharp gaze, his hands folded on his chest while he leaned his body against the wall of Liam's apartment. If Lona hadn't come to Liam, Noah wouldn't have known what kind of trouble Liam was having and unfortunately, the artist wouldn't have told her at all.

“Damn you Liam..” shouted Noah.

“That big problem why cover it from me? Can you do it all by yourself without needing my help? You really want to ruin your career apparently, huh?”

“Not until it's that bad.” Liam straightened his body.

Liam understands Noah's anger towards him is very based. He hides this from Noah because he thinks he might be able to get close and melt Hanna's heart with his own efforts. Liam forgets, Noah is his manager and Noah has every right to know what he's doing out there.

“...I will be in charge.”

At least that's the first step he will take after weighing everything with realistic thinking. The fact that the child is her child makes her unable to run away from responsibility. Bobby's right. He could still be hurt because of his past, and now if he's not responsible, that means his son will experience what he experienced –Hanna will not throw the baby but the presence of complete parents he means.

Liam has experienced a lot of bitter things and a lot of rejection. He did not want his son would also experience it, rejected by his biological father. No. gabe. Just thinking about that made Liam's chest almost sliced. He would not create a second Liam again in this world.

“In charge said you? What will you do, huh?” noah's voice was still the same, still stirring with anger.

“I...might marry her.”

“Married? You know one of the conditions of the big brands in the contract is that there is no marriage bond as long as it is bound by the contract and that means, you cannot get married as long as you are their model. Don't you understand?”

Liam understands, of course, because he also read the clauses of his contract before signing it. But Hanna and the baby in her womb it's also very important for her life –maybe even more important than that contract. She couldn't just ignore Hanna and the baby.

“Liam, listen..”.

Noah seemed to take a breath to be more calm in discussing with Liam.

“If you choose to take responsibility and even marry the woman, then you have to give up your career and not only that, you also have to pay a number of penalties that are not small. You understand me?”

Liam did not answer. He just looked at Noah who moved to sit in front of him and was looking at him seriously.

“I know you can't run away from your responsibilities. But you also have to think about the career you've built, I mean not just you but us, which we've built over the years together. You've gone this far, sacrificing many things including your opposition to your father. Don't just because of one thing, everything we fight for is ruined for nothing.”

But that 'one thing' also meant a lot to Liam. He certainly could not live comfortably if he ignored her. All her life she would live in regret and imagining Hanna would marry another man gave her goosebumps. She did not want another man to touch Hanna, who slept with her and who hugged her every night. Hanna mustn't come into contact with other men.

“But what about Hanna and the baby in her womb? I can't just stand by and let them both suffer out there, can I? That's not ethical at all.”

“I'll think about it later..” murmured Noah.

“...now you better rest because tomorrow at dawn we have to leave out of town to attend the opening of a new store from a brand that hooks you as its ambassador. Now, you just rest. I'm also going home because you've made my blood sugar soar up.” Noah lowered his head while holding his neck.

“Noah, forgive me.”

“It’s okay, everyone has ever made a mistake. We'll discuss your problem again later. I go home first and don't forget, tomorrow morning at five in the morning I'll pick you up.”

Liam nodded, then drove Noah to the front door. After they parted, Liam sat back at the table and pondered. Noah's right. If he violates any of those clauses, then it is certain that his contract will be void and the amount they have to pay is very much. Currently she is a brand ambassador of at least five well-known brands, and there are also some from medium-sized brands. All the contents of the contract are not much different, one of which is that he should not be tied to marriage.

But what about Hanna and the baby? What about his responsibility? When he already wants to fulfill his obligations, why even faced with a problem that is no less serious?

“Han, to my room briefly.”

Bobby intercepts Hanna at the elevator door when Hanna is going home. The atmosphere of the office is quiet because this is already past the hour of returning home. Since Hanna still had to correct a lot of things – due to her input error, she was forced to overtime and it was already the second night she did it. Hanna glanced at her watch, already showing it at nine o'clock in the night.

“What's Bob?”

“I bought you some vitamins and also a special snack Pregnant women for you. I thought you might not have time to buy it.”

Bobby handed Hanna some paper bags. Hanna was silent, she did not dare to stretch out her hand to pick up those items. Why is Bobby acting like this all the time? A few days since her pregnancy was known by Bobby, suddenly the company cafeteria serves food high in nutrients and organic. All of them use premium ingredients and do not use – flavor enhancers at least that is what his company chef says.

Not to mention the refrigerator located in the financial break room where Hanna worked, all contained fresh fruits and juice drinks. Hanna didn't get any other expense reports from it, so she could easily tell if it was Bobby's job.

"Bob, thank you so much but I can't take it" Hanna said.

"Why? You're overtime a couple of nights and probably still gonna be overtime again tomorrow. I'm afraid you forgot to eat and pity your baby, aren't you?"

"But Bob.."

"That's it. I don't accept rejection from you. Come on, I'll take you home."

"I'll go home by myself."

What Bobby gave her was enough to make her feel guilty. Hanna doesn't want to constantly accept what Bobby did to her, as if she's giving the man hope. Hanna doesn't want Bobby to misunderstand her.

"It's nine o'clock and you're pregnant. Danger if you use an online taxi."

"I'll take the bus..."

"Office distance to the stop is quite far. You can't walk there, it makes you tired."

Bobby cuts Hanna off quickly, so Hanna can't wander anymore. Forcibly, Hanna follows Bobby's lead to the parking lot.

Is it true Bobby feels that big on her? If he was playing a trick on him, how could Bobby do a lot of things like this? But Hanna really can't be with Bobby. He does not want to be in touch with men anymore after the failure he experienced with Jhon and Liam's attitude that does not want to account for his mistakes. Hanna thinks she should just focus on the baby alone.
