Section 68
"Dam! What the hell are you doing? Why are you arguing with Mom?" ask Caesar in a dislike manner.
She dislikes Ani's overly harsh attitude towards Lisa even though she herself dislikes the middle-aged woman.
"Sorry, Sir. It is my duty as Young Master's nanny to ensure his safety. I don't know what Miss Lisa did, but I saw she wanted to put something in Young Master's mouth. I just want to be sure of what's in his hands. That's it, sir," Ani replied with her head lowered.
It is wrong to be too harsh on Caesar's stepmother, but he also cannot be silent if the safety of Evan's baby is threatened.
Caesar exhaled a slightly rough breath, he stared intently at the guiltless babysitter.
"But still I don't like you acting so outrageous like that. She's the woman my father married, which means she's my mother, even if she's not my birth, respecting her is the same as respecting my father. Next time, behave better. I want you to apologize to him" Caesar insisted.
Due to the incident, the party was disbanded prematurely. Guests leave the show's owner's house after Caesar invites them back.
"Sorry, Sir. I will not repeat it again, and I promise to apologize to Miss Lisa," Ani said, bowing her head. His hands squeezed the skirt he was wearing, furious and annoyed, but unable to resist.
"Yes, go!"
Ani nodded, turning around and leaving the room. Eva, who had only heard this before, refrained from protesting against Caesar's attitude. Until Ani really left them, Eva reacted.
"It just wants to protect Evan from harm, Caesar. You shouldn't have to be that hard on her." Eva glanced at Caesar, holding Evan in her arms.
The man sighed, dropping the body on the sofa beside them. He took Evan and hugged him, playing with the child to complete the longing for Cempaka.
"I know, but I mean Ani should know the place. That was a lot of mom's friends .. You must know how mom feels right now, don't you? Imagine if you were a mother." Caesar kissed the child, imagining the one on the side was Cempaka.
Eva was stunned, she confirmed her husband's words, but kept the anger towards Lisa in her heart. It should have been the old lady who didn't make trouble at Evan's party. It's a risk to what he's doing.
"Eva, stay home and play with Evan. Don't leave him too often" Caesar asked as he glanced at Eva sitting beside him.
Eva snorted at Caesar's request, but it seemed like she had to weaken and follow the man's will. To get his heart, too, sympathize.
"You know, lately my salon is frequented by top artists as well as the wives of officials. Not infrequently there are also my friends gathered there. Sometimes they ask to see me. If you want me to be like that, I'll cut down on my schedule to go to the salon. I also want to spend more time with Evan" Eva said, reassuring Caesar.
She wrestled on her husband's arm spoiled, playing with Evan who seemed cool with her finger. Caesar turned his head, kissing Eva's head full of love.
"Thank you, yeah." They looked happy, slowly Caesar began to forget Cempaka.
Removing it from memory. Assuming it never existed because he only wanted a child from that woman.
"Are you calm up there? What are you doing there? Relaxing? Having fun?" his sarcasm was on an invisible gust of wind.
He laughed bitterly, the loss he felt was completely imprinted in the memory.
"You must be laughing at me, right? I make sure everyone who hurts you will suffer!" Ani's face changed, red and full of anger. The glint of his eyes radiated hatred as well as a burning grudge.
He squeezed the balcony barrier, as if he was tearing apart people who had already given his life pain. The night continued to pass, the dark became more and more real sowing fear. Ani decides to go into the room, staring at Evan's bed that has not been filled. Maybe tonight, the baby's sleeping with his parents.
Ani lay down on the bed, sleeping while hugging Evan's bolster.

In the villa, Mr. Arya was contemplating while holding a portrait of the wife. All the yearning about him, treated by the presence of Cempaka. His heart warmed every time he talked to the woman.
He opened the picture of his wife, looking at her lovingly.
"I'm not lonely anymore, baby. Here, there was Cempaka who paid so much attention to me. You sleep quietly there. Didn't you always ask me not to marry Lisa? I'll leave it from now on." Mr. Arya rubbed a picture of a beautiful and charming woman.
"You're right, honey. You are always right. Lisa is a cunning woman, she just wants my treasure. I am so sorry I never heard your words. I'm sorry, honey. Excuse me. Maybe it's too late, but I'm really sorry."
Mr. Arya shed tears, recalling the times in which the wife still accompanied the journey of his life. She always looks beautiful and charming so that makes Mr. Arya unable to turn his eyes on others.
"If time could be turned .. I want you to come back to me. To this day I still can't believe that your death was due to illness." Mr. Arya was stunned, as if finding something.
"Don't Lisa be the cause of your death .. she made you sick like she did to me. My God, it turns out that all this time I've been keeping poisonous snakes. Why did I realize after everything happened."
Mr. Arya let out a long sigh, the death of the wife who felt awkward by him all this time was always disturbing. It was as if something had to be done, but he didn't realize it.
"I think I should investigate this again."
Mr. Arya moved from the fireplace to his room. Picking up her phone and contacting the secretary to investigate Lisa as well as her child.
"I suspect he's the one who caused my wife's death. I need you to investigate them, find anything suspicious." Mr. Arya ordered his secretary to settle the case of the death of his wife.
Once again, Cempaka's presence had unknowingly opened his heart's eyes. He had put his heart to Lisa also trusted her very much. Apparently, Lisa is a venomous snake that she nurtured lovingly.
He will never be deceived again by all his seduction.
