Jason was pensive at his desk. Until this session he still felt reluctant to go to the office. Various meetings that are scheduled today left abandoned. He only contacts Noah to have him reschedule, who knows when.
Recalling yesterday's incident, when a girl blocked his steps and his daughter. Joanna looked nervous as the boy called her a liar.
" Hear, kid. If Joanna says I'm her father, then I'm her father. My daughter never lies. Now, get your body out of front of us. "hardened Jason ferociously. The girl looked scared. Soon Jason took his daughter's hand and walked to his car.
On the way, Joanna did not chatter as usual. He just kept quiet while looking at the view.
" It's okay. He won't bother you anymore. " Jason started the conversation. Joanna was silent.
" How about we stop by the ice cream shop ? " take Jason. Joanna shakes.
" I just want to go home" said Joanna.
" Are you sure you don't want to stop by the ice cream shop ? "
Joanna shakes.
" I don't want to eat anything. "
" Okay, then we'll go home "
" I miss Uncle Justin" said Joanna suddenly. Jason jerks.
" When will Uncle come home ? Why did he leave so long ago. Usually Uncle goes for at most one month. "
Jason remained silent.
" Uncle always plays with me. He always listened to my story. He's my best Uncle. I'm so sorry for her. "
Jason's choked.
" Even my daughter misses her, like her mother misses her. "
Jason felt a lot of trouble. At this time he feels defeated because it turns out Justin means a lot to the people he loves, his daughter and also his wife. Wait, what did he just think ? The two people he loved ? If Joanna, of course she loved him, wasn't Joanna his daughter ? But his wife ? Anna's? Does she really love Anna ? No, it can't happen. Then, now, and even tomorrow to come, they were together just because of the agreement. The agreement he made was that Marrissa should not marry anyone. Marrissa was in his mind and heart. Not Anna. And there's no way Anna.
A phone call rang Jason from his daydream. A call from Noah.
" Don't I tell you not to bother me today ? " he asked angrily.
" I'm sorry, Mister. But Frans contacted me, asking if there was anything you wanted about the email he sent today. He waits for your next command " replied Noah across the street.
Frans is Jason's man to spy on Marrissa.
" E-mailing ? "
" yes. Frans sent it about two hours ago and you didn't respond at all. He has tried to contact you, but is not connected. "
Obviously not connected, because the phone he turned off. Now Noah calls her through a personal phone number that only Noah knows.
Jason immediately opened his laptop, checking Frans' email. There must be something important that the man was trying to convey to the point that he contacted Noah.
" How about, Mister ? Anything to tell Frans ? " ask Noah. There was no response from Jason. Long time. Until finally.
" Send Frans back. The work is done ", Jason replied.
" good, Sir. "
Jason looked at Frans' email. Marrissa. Eventually the woman got married too. There was a sense of disappointment in Jason's heart when he saw his woman wearing a wedding dress with another man beside her.
Jason took a deep breath. Marrissa, as always, always looks beautiful and attractive. Too bad, the woman didn't put the slightest feelings on him. The woman had strange tastes. He actually likes older men like his father or even likes a messy man like Morgan.
Jason laughing. At the moment he was completely defeated. His wife and daughter prefer his half-sister, while the woman he loves chooses someone else.
Is he really going to be alone now ? Like the time before she knew the sisters Marrissa and Anna. No. gabe. He does not want to and cannot be alone.
Jason glanced at Frans' email. Let Marrissa enjoy her wedding first. He was reluctant to disturb her at this time. Maybe someday, he will come in and ruin the marriage of his stepmother.
At the moment the most possible only to get back his daughter and wife. Keep them out of Justin's shadow. That way, in addition to getting them, Justin will also be alone.
Jason smiled. He must act immediately. He does not want to be helped anymore.

" What works ? "
" You've caught your husband's attention. I didn't think it would be this fast your plan was realized " replied Karen with seductive eye lyrics. Anna laughs.
" I've even forgotten that plan, Karen. "
" It doesn't matter you forget it. But the results are completely unexpected. Good job, Anna. "
" Do you think he likes me ? Hm, you better get rid of that conjecture, Karen. Jason's starting to care about us, but I don't think he loves me.. "
" No, Anna, not yet. You better keep up your efforts. Trust me, effort will not betray results. "
" Effort ? I didn't even do anything. Maybe I was excited to see her at first, but now I'm too tired to work and take care of Joanna. "
" That's. He lost your attention. That's why he's looking for you. Try to remember again, how many times has he been nice to you ? Give you a surprise ? Or even force you to accept his help, for example ? "
Anna frowning. Lately, Jason's been a little weird. He even helped her cook when Roberta wasn't around. He also diligently sent her a message and did not hesitate to call her if the message was not reciprocated. He even missed his meetings at the office to eat with him. He also did not forget his promise to always pick up Joanna. So Joanna and her father's relationship improved. And today, he offers to take Joanna to the park while waiting for Anna to meet Karen.
" How ? Did he do the one I mentioned earlier ? " ask Karen curiously.
Anna nodded.
" As expected, he's starting to miss you, love you. "
" I don't think so, Karen. "
" Come, Anna. He changed. That means you managed to subdue him. "
Anna shakes.
" He has changed. But I still don't think he loves me. I don't know. "
" Huh "Karen snorted.
" Come on, I think he's still in touch with Ashley. How could he love me "denies Anna.
" The actor ? Is he still wandering around your house?" asked Karen growled.
Anna shakes.
" Why do you think your husband is still in contact with him ? "
" I just feel that. I think he's still in touch with Ashley. Come on, you also know that a woman's instinct, especially a wife is very sensitive "
" Realat. The instinct of a wife who loves her husband "refutes Karen.
" Wait, what does this mean, you love your husband ? " ask Karen with sparkling eyes.
Anna shakes.
" It's impossible. I never loved him and never will. "
" Is it because of him ? "
" Who ? "
" Your handsome cousin, uh I mean, your sister-in-law "
Anna did not answer. He lowered his head. Confused to answer this question.
" You love him so much, don't you ? "
Anna raised her face. Karen knows how she feels ?.
" Anna, we've been friends for a long time. You can't hide your feelings for me anymore. When we went to school, I was probably too naive. But then I realized, what he did to you, picking you up every day, protecting you, was his way of conveying his feelings to you. And instead, the way you look at her, the way you tell her about her already hints that you love her "
" But I think you two will find it hard to come together. Not only because you're his sister-in-law, but now, his mother is hostile to you. So, with great force, I have to say this. "
Karen took a breath.
" Give up, Anna. Forget her. Get rid of that old feeling. Now is the time to make a new story. A happy story with the one who loves you. Your husband and son. "
