Marrying a Mysterious Man

Food Exchange

“Where is this? What should I answer?” Kalala's mind was now busy to string the words together, he could not refuse the offer directly from Baker, because he knew very well who the old man in front of him was, and how powerful that man is.

“Calm down, calm down, Kalala, set your strategy. Do not let you say wrong,” his mind tries to continue to think looking for answers that are right.

“Sorry, Sir but I love my girlfriend who is now.”

“Eh, no, no, yes, I answered so. How about?”

“Sorry, Sir, but I already have a future husband.”

“Eh, no-no, Edwin ‘kan has not said that he wants to be my husband.”

“Duh, keep I have to answer what dong.” Kalala was immersed in her own thoughts, she was confused not knowing what to refuse with an answer. He couldn't have answered Baker's question.

Jackson glanced at Kalala with worry. “What will he answer. Why was he silent?” inner Jackson.

“Just relax, Princess Kalala, you don't need to answer it now. Let my child who reassures your heart, between you will reject it or accept it,” continued Baker, a little make Kalala can breathe a sigh of relief.

“Darling, is Dad that serious to Kalala? Want to make my best friend as the wife of Jackson?” whispered Shira to Akash.

Akash nodded slowly. “Hm, you know for yourself no, what kind of a father. If there is something he wants, Dad will definitely fight for it until Dad gets it,” Akash replies slowly.

“Yeah, what happens if Kalala really becomes the daughter-in-law in this family, Shira's inner” glances at Baker and Jackson in turn.

“I really believe that Dad will love his daughter-in-law well. Only, I was so afraid that Madame Asten became her father-in-law Kalala, huft ...” Shira recalled Boy, who said Jackson was always driven by his mother.

“Ah yes, where is Madam Asten? Why not come back?” shira's inner self, suddenly her feelings become unpleasant.

While being eluded in silence, suddenly the servants came from the direction of the door pushing a trolley that was above it filled with food.

And Asten was seen appearing in the back row of the floats. Now all the waiters are busy serving the food they bring, ranging from appetizers, heavy meals and desserts and drinks and some snacks.

Asten sat back in his chair. His eyes glanced slightly at a waiter who was serving food beside Shira.

The waiter kept a special pudding for Shira. “Please, Miss, this chocolate pudding and mango pudding, especially for you who are pregnant,” said the waiter, who was replied by a polite nod by Shira.

“Thank you,” Shira said.

Asten grinned, then he refocused on a paddler serving food near Jackson.

Kalala who was fixated on seeing the amount of food on the table, he forgot that since then he wanted to tell Edwin about Jackson's mother. Fortunately, the vibrations in his phone awakened Kalala.

Hurriedly he opened his phone, and seen one message notification coming from his lover's number—Edwin.

Kalala tied her eyebrows together as she was about to open the message, but it was a pity that the servant standing beside Jackson accidentally nudged Kalala's hand, instead, until the phone that was being held by Kalala fell down.

“Ah, sorry Miss, s-I accidentally,” said the waiter.

Kalala is also actually not feeling good, because at a time like this she should not play her phone. “T-it's okay,” said Kalala, about to bend down to pick up her phone lying under her chair.

But Jackson took it first. “This, it looks like your phone is dead,” Jackson said.

Kalala accepted it with pleasure. “Thank you, it's okay, let me check later,” replied Kalala nervously.

Now all eyes were on Kalala, including Asten who seemed to have been watching her.

“Alright, before dinner starts, we should all pray first,” Baker said as things got a little calmer.

Kalala became unwell, she glanced towards Shira who was sitting next to her. It was like he was whispering to Shira, so that the food between him and Shira was exchanged.

As for Jackson, the man suddenly thrust his plate at Kalala. Make everyone look at him.

“A-what's up Jackson?” ask Kalala slowly.

“Tapakkan mine with Shira's, she is pregnant is not good for her to eat steak half-cooked,” said Jackson, because he realized, there is something strange from the motion of his mother.

“Hah?” Kalala was even cengo, then she turned her head for a moment towards Shira.

“Shira, how?” ask Kalala slowly.

Akash, who is aware of the code from Jackson, also made a sound. “Take and exchange with yours. Jackson was right, pregnant women are not good at eating half-cooked steaks. You better trade it for Jackosn's steak, he's got steak he looks more mature than yours,” said Akash, immediately took Shira's plate and thrust it to Kalala, telling Kalala to change it.

Food exchanges also took place. Baker who saw it he was a little surprised by the children. There seems to be something between them. However, Baker would have been more pleased to see it, because it turns out that Jackson is somewhat careless and does not care, at this time the boy is showing his attention as the sister-in-law of Shira.

“Daddy is so proud to see you, Jackson. You can now pay more attention to your family members,” Baker said suddenly.

“Proudly?” inner Jackson. “Really? Dad mentioned that he was proud of me?” Somehow, the praise given by his father just now really makes Jackson feel something that he had never felt.

There is haru, sad and happy. He was fixated on staring at his father, with the two neutrals suddenly glazed.

“Didn't I hear wrong, Dad? Dad said that Dad—” Before Jackson continued, Baker cut him off first.

“Yes, I am proud because now your identity is more visible, I am happy to see the change in you,” continued Baker with a smile then he immediately sipped water nearby.

Jackson was silent and then looked down and smiled so widely. Kalala who was right next to Jackson, he could see a day of happiness that radiated in Jackson's smile.

Even Kalala was a little speachlees when she saw Jakson's facial expression that was far from normal. The man really seemed happy with his feelings. I don't know what's on Jackson's mind right now, but suddenly seeing a sweet smile on Jakcson's lips, Kalala was very happy to see it. Moreover, he knew very well the bitterness that Jackson felt, especially he had also seen Jackson's cry when the man was frustrated with his problem.

“It turns out, your happiness is very simple yes,” inner Kalala, come touched to see it.

But among them, there was one person who looked very moody, his face bent since Jackson had exchanged food earlier. Who else if not Asten the witch.

“I tried to hide and plan everything, even my own son became the destroyer. You are not reliable, Jackson! Why did you even trade your food for Shira's food anyway! Does it have to be like this you're looking for face in front of your dad?” sten's mind did not end up thinking that his plan would fail just like that.

Asten has put it all together. But, Asten was not immediately disappointed, because there was still something he could hope for, namely, mango pudding and chocolate pudding that he had mixed with a little milk that contained the drug pemugur.

But actually, Asten is also very worried about the steak eaten by his son today, because in the steak there is a mixture of menstrual emitting drugs.

“Ah, hopefully, my son is okay. Wrong him too, why he even exchanged his food with food Shira's,” inner Asten.

Then after everyone had finished the main menu, now they continue to eat desserts which include pudding and cakes.

Shira took the chocolate pudding she had wanted. The chocolate pudding with melted vla milk on it really seemed to be waving wanting to be devoured immediately by Shira.

Shira did not immediately take the small plate containing the chocolate pudding. But again, someone is holding him back.

“Shira, just eat mine, pudding yours vla milk a little, exchange with me, instead of you like vla milk that much?” kalala said she gave her pudding to Shira.

Sira looked at him in wonder, because actually, the vla in her pudding and in Kalala's pudding, almost the same, it made no difference. But, when she saw Kalala's gaze, Shira understood something.

“Hm, alright.” Shira was about to pick up her chocolate pudding, but suddenly Asten's voice shocked everyone who was there.

“Is this dinner special for exchanging meals? What kind of game is this? And you, why are you saying that your milk vla is more than Shira's, do you want to demean the chef in this house, saying that the dose served is not the same?”

All eyes now looked at Asten. Including Baker, who was amazed by the attitude of his wife.

“Asten, what are you talking about?” baker asked in surprise.

Asten looked up at Baker. “My husband, did you forget the adab and rules of this house? Shouldn't we be able to appreciate what's already served at the dinner table. Why did these kids change their food? Isn't that disrespectful?” ask Asten.

Akash sees Asten growing suspicious. As for Baker, he could only snort in his breath slowly. Surprised by his wife's attitude.

Akash, who is getting better at this situation, hastily codes Kalala and Shira to immediately exchange food. And they obey him.

“Already, Asten, it's okay, he's just considerate of Shira just don't mean to disrespect the food here. You don't have to respond to it this seriously,” Baker replied.

Asten did not care about her husband's words, his eyes were already looking at the plate that had been exchanged by Kalala and Shira.

“You both don't have adab! I am with my husband talking, you guys are busy swapping your meals!” sten stressed, quite emotional.

Jackson, fed up with his mother's attitude, finally got up from his seat, then he took his pudding plate and scrambled it and exchanged it for Kalala's.

“Food exchanges like this are often done by children our age, Mom. Moreover, this dinner is a celebration of Shira's graduation, isn't that okay? After all, this is not a formal dinner,” said Jackson immediately sat back in his chair, then devoured the chocolate pudding to the end.

Kalala and Asten were really surprised to see him. “Jackson! Stop!” ah, Asten panicked a little.

Jackson stared at his mother cynically. “Why, Mom? Do you want Shira's pudding too? Do you want to follow our game of exchanging food?” ask Jackson. Asten was getting angry to hear it.

“Stop, Jackson. You can't do that! Eat your food don't have anyone else!”

“Why? Just the same, mine is only exchanged for Kalala's, and Kalala will eat my pudding,” Jackson replied grinning, although in fact he was also a little afraid of the effects of the crimes committed by his mother, he said, he had no idea what would happen to him after he had finished the two kinds of food that Shira was supposed to eat.

Asten was silent, he looked at Jackson's two eyeballs with annoyance.

“Yes God, I hope bad things don't happen to Jackson. It should be the part that this pudding is I who ate it, not him,” Inner Kalala.

While Akash and Shira, they are also afraid of the unexpected that will happen to Jackson.

“How is this? Why would Jackson do all this?” inner Shira was worried.

Suddenly, Akash took out a medicinal sachet from inside his suit pocket. Medications that can be used as antidotes to poison. He opened it slowly, watching everyone, then took the juice, he put it under the table, and then sprinkled the medicine he brought into the orange juice.

“Jackson, then, drink this orange juice of mine. Since then, you only exchanged with Shira and Kalala, not with me,” said Akash standing from his seat.

Jackson looked astonished at his half-brother. “Why do you want to exchange with me too?” jackson asked in surprise, looking at him vigilantly.

“It's okay, won't this be better for us?” The answer made by Akash was actually a little disconnected, but Jackson, who understood the codes, finally got up from his seat and exchanged his drink for Akash's drink.

Then the two of them stirred their two exchanged glasses, toast and sipped them slowly until they were finished.

“Wah, what an amazing dinner!” peekik Baker who was happy to see his two children toast like that.

“Then, can we follow their game, Asten?” baker looked at his wife's intentions.

“Hah?” Asten.
