Love Story: Gabrielle and Eleanor

Worries of a Father

Bern stepped into the company with his usual flat expression. However, something was different with his heart. Whether this is fate or what, Bern's feelings become much lighter after he decides to take responsibility for what he accidentally did to Amora. It's kind of weird, but Bern doesn't care. His actions were indeed very wrong, he also did not justify. But it did not happen by Bern's own will. And most importantly Bern is not running away from responsibility. That's the main point.

“Young Master Bern.”

Bern's footsteps came to a halt when someone suddenly called out to him. He who was just about to enter the room immediately turned around to see who the person was. And as soon as Bern turned around, he was made to wonder about the appearance of Mr. Kendra in his company. As Bern remembered, all work problems with the Airan Group had been handled by Karl. Then why did Mr Kendra come to see him? Could this be about Amora?

“Good morning, Young Master Bern,” greet Kendra politely. His lethargic and tired voice showed how much he did not rest well. His face also looked pale and under his eyes was quite a thick dark circle. Kendra is sleep deprived.

“What's up, Mr Kendra? Karl should have done his job well, right?” ask Bern to the point. Honestly, Bern is currently feeling very anxious about the presence of Mr. Kendra so suddenly. His chest until it pounded strongly imagining a no-no.

“Young Master, in advance I would like to thank you very much for your kindness who are willing to help save Airan Group from bankruptcy. But my goal in coming to see you is not about cooperation between our companies. There is something else I want to talk to you about,” Kendra replied honestly. “It's about Amora, Young Master. I ... I want to know how it is now. Can?”

Deg deg deg

Bern's mouth seemed to be locked tightly when something he was worried about was really the main purpose Mr. Kendra came to see him. While displaying a very cold expression, Bern insinuated Mr. Kendra who previously had so much heart to make his own daughter as a medium of exchange to maintain his company is almost bankrupt.

“What is this, Mr. Kendra. Aren't you the one who volunteered to give me Amora? Why are you suddenly asking how he is doing? Do you intend to re-transact by exchanging Amora for something bigger?” sindir Bern's. “Remember, Mr. Kendra. Even dogs are not willing to give their children so that the dog can eat well. And I hope your pride is not that low.”

“No, Young Master. I knew I was wrong, and I realized very well that what I did to Amora was unforgivable. Amora is still my daughter. And I ... worry!”

My eyes don't look wrong? Mr Kendra looked so sad when talking about Amora, then why did he agree to Karl's request when asking one of his daughters to give it to me? What's the matter? Why do I feel that Mr Kendra is not entirely evil in this regard? Karl couldn't possibly press it ‘ right?

When Bern was wondering about the peculiarity of Mr. Kendra's attitude, Karl appeared. And a different image was immediately seen in Mr. Kendra when he noticed the unusual look from the eyes of the second Young Master in the Ma family. Bern, who was focused on his mind, did not realize that Mr. Kendra's agreement to hand over Amora to him was due to Karl's threat. Yes, although Kendra does not like Amora too much, but actually she still feels very heavy to release her daughter to be a servant to a man known as a cold and heartless figure. And after Amora's departure, Kendra never once slept well. And so did his other three daughters. They were all not calm to think of Amora, the disadvantaged girl who had always received unfair treatment from her family. Kendra always thought about whether her daughter had eaten or not, whether her daughter slept in a decent place or not. Until finally Kendra ventured to come to see Bern to ask news about her daughter. He could not stand the guilt and anxiety.

“Wahhh Mr. Kendra, good morning,” say hello Karl pretended to be surprised to see the whereabouts of Mr. Kendra in Group Ma. Then he smiled. But the smile is a smile full of threats.

“S-good morning back, Young Master Karl,” said Mr. Kendra to be nervous when replying to greetings. His palms immediately broke into a sweat with the threat he received that night when he refused to give Bern Amora. Both of Mr. Kendra's legs feel boneless now.

Oh my God, how is this? Karl came before I heard Amora. What am I supposed to do now?

Karl smirked when he heard what Mr. Kendra was thinking. Realizing that his brother was there too, Karl deliberately patted his shoulder slowly. He behaved like this so that his brother would wake up and enter his room before Mr. Kendra told him the truth. Karl certainly did not want his plan to fail in the middle of the road. He doesn't want that.

“I'm not daydreaming about anything,” Bern replied rather in shock when Karl suddenly patted him.

“Really?” Karl chuckles. “Then if not daydream why did you ignore Mr Kendra like that? Did he say something that made you feel uncomfortable?”

Bern immediately looked at Mr. Kendra when asked like that by Karl. Feeling that nothing mattered with their conversation, Bern decided to go into his room instead. He let Mr. Kendra be alone with Karl there, not caring if there is actually one truth about Amora.

As soon as his brother entered, Karl immediately raised a cruel gaze towards Mr. Kendra who was bowing his head. Without feeling any pity at all, Karl again bullied this useless man like he did that night.

“Mr Kendra, it seems that you are not the type of person who understands the true meaning of fear. Should I really kidnap your three daughters and sell them to a striped-nosed man out there? Don't you think I'm just messing with what I said, Mr. Kendra. If you don't believe me, I don't mind doing it. Really!”

“T-Young Master, b-not like that. Sa-me .. I did not say anything wrong to Young Master Bern. I ... I just want to hear from Amora. Really,” said Kendra was scared when she threatened that her other three daughters would be sold to striped men. He couldn't imagine if this were true until it happened. Maybe Kendra will just choose to die.

“Really?” paro Karl could not believe it.

“True, Young Master. I could swear I didn't tell him anything at all. S-I just asked about Amora, and even that has not been answered.”

Karl took a long breath. Bizarrely. If it's true that Mr Kendra didn't tell me anything, then why does his brother look anxious and unsettled? Could there be something Karl has missed? What's that about?

“Young Master Karl, when will Amora be allowed to return home? Honestly, I am really not at ease letting him stay at Young Master Bern's house. Will you please allow this requirement?” ask Kendra expectantly.

Not in denied, as a father Kendra certainly afraid Bern do something indecent to his daughter. Kendra confesses that when she drove Amora away, Kendra told Amora that she had sold her. But Kendra was forced to say because at that time Kendra knew there were spies in her house. He can't take any other risks if he doesn't obey Karl's rules, a witty-looking man who turns out to be a demon. And this guilt is what makes Kendra unable to sleep well.

“Mr Kendra, I suggest you just go back to your company before I change your mind and order people to kidnap your three daughters. And as for Amora, when the time comes she will definitely return to your house. So as long as that time hasn't come, you'd better shut up and shut the fuck up. Because if not, you know for yourself isn't what I can do?” threaten Karl with evil. After that he sauntered away from there leaving Mr. Kendra alone holding back tears.

Just so you know, Mr. Kendra. Your bad daughter will never return to your home. Because what? Because Amora I was destined to die in Bern's hands. Poor thing. Haha.
