Everyone was speechless, even Sena who initially knew nothing became wide-eyed at Albert's words. A fiancee? If Albert already has a fiancee, why bring Sena and Alnorld back? Sena's thoughts towards Albert are getting narrower, she's afraid that his presence and Alnorld's only to be pawned by Albert.
"Follow, dad to the reading room now" Jeremy told Albert.
Alnorld approached Sena and clasped his hand.
"Mommy, does opa not like us?" ask Alnorld to Sena.
"That's.." Sena answered.
"Grandson oma, stop. Don't think about anything. Sena you must not have had lunch. Let's go to the dining room. My handsome granddaughter must be hungry too." - Jesica.
"The lady's big, I'm saying goodbye now. There are things I have to take care of at the office." said Evan.
"Why hurry, van? eat first." take Jesica.
"No, madam. Thank ye. Excuse me." said Evan again.
Actually there is no urgent office business for Evan, he just feels the internal problems of the Nero family should not he know and be involved.
"Explain to me" said Jeremy.
"What do I need to explain, dad. You've seen it for yourself. If I had a son and Sena was the mother of my son" Albert said.
"How can you?" ask Jeremy.
"Long the story, for sure I want to live happily with my son and his mother. So let me cancel my engagement to Renata." replied Albert confidently.
"can't. We need this marriage to enlarge the company. You can't just undo it" Jeremy said.
"I can enlarge our company without marrying Renata. Why can't you still trust me?" ask Albert.
"You want to put where Nero's family is if you break this engagement. Renata's family will not remain silent either, Albert" Jeremy said.
"Trust me, dad. Nothing's gonna happen. I promise you that our company will be fine" Albert said.
Jeremy was silent no longer able to speak. In fact, he believes that Albert would be able to make the QL Group become bigger without having to cooperate with the Renata family-owned company. Jeremy just doesn't know how to bring his face in front of Juan Renata's father who used to have helped him in tough times.

"Sorry, sir. Lunch is ready. The big madam is waiting." said a maid.
"Yes, I'll be right down" Jeremy said.
"We'll talk about this again later. Come down, your mom must have put on her pouty face waiting for us." Jeremy asked.
in the dining room,
"Alnorld, would you mind telling me where you've been all this time and how you've been living? And why are you visiting oma now?" ask Jesica.
"Emm, we live in Japan oma. That's because mommy has an important job there. So only now can I visit the oma." replied Alnorld smiling.
"How are you, Sen? Back when you disappeared, your family was in the fog looking for you and now hear about Laurence's family returning to Country J." asked Jesica to Sena.
"Yes, aunt. It was my fault for just disappearing without any news and now I'm fine." Sena replied with a forced smile.
"Mom, why don't you take your granddaughter to dinner first? He must be starving" Albert said suddenly.
"No daddy, I'm not hungry yet and oma is telling me a lot about daddy. It makes me happy." said Alnorld smiling.
"Ehem." Jeremy's voice distracts Alnorld and Sena.
"Dad, you know. We've been waiting for you too long. Look at my handsome grandson, you starve him" Jesica said.
"Yayaya, let's start eating it. What's your name, handsome boy?" ask Jeremy to Alnorld.
"My name is Alnorld Laurence Nero, opa." replied Alnorld.
"Good name, eat a lot. Sena you and Alnorld can stay here" Jeremy said.
"Ah, not om. I've planned to stay at the hotel tonight and will find a place to stay tomorrow." declined Sena politely.
"Consider, and live comfortably here" Albert said.
