Melisa covered her face with her two palms. His shoulders were moving up and down, sobs were heard from between his lips. She had just received a rejection from her own biological daughter, Luna was unwilling to accept and acknowledge herself as her biological mother.
It is not the fault of Luna or Melisa, especially Luna does not know anything. And if there is anyone to blame, then that person is Mr. Xia. Because he prefers to keep the truth a secret from Luna.
"He rejected me, Pa. She doesn't want to accept let alone acknowledge me as her mother!!" lirih Melisa with her raucous voice.
Melisa could no longer stem her grief after receiving Luna's rejection. He thought their meeting would be a bridge for him and Luna to be close. But reality did not go as Melisa expected.
Mr. Xia shook his head. He approached his daughter and hugged her. "That's not true. It's not that Luna won't accept and acknowledge you as her mother, but she's still too shocked to accept this reality." Said Mr. Xia. He tried to calm Melisa who was in tears.
Mr. Xia could understand very well what Luna was feeling right now.
He needs time to accept everything.
All this was indeed his fault, if only he had told Luna from the beginning. Surely his plight will not be like this. He deserves to be blamed.
"Papa will try to talk to him later. For now we should give Luna some time to herself." said Mr. Xia as he let go of his embrace to Melisa.
Master Xia rubbed Melisa's head gently. "You better rest now, Papa comes out first" said Mr. Xia and replied to a nod by Melisa.
"Good, Pa."

Luna sat in her bed. There was no rain, no wind, suddenly his father said that he was not his father but his grandfather.
And the woman that Luna initially thought as her father's future wife turned out to be her biological mother.
Everything that happened was still difficult to be accepted logically by Luna. Although Melisa and her father, not but her grandfather had already given her an explanation.
Nathan approaches Luna and sits opposite her. The man looked at Luna with sadness, Nathan had never seen the woman as fragile as this, because usually Luna cheerful and a little bar-bar. So seeing Luna who suddenly became quiet felt uncomfortable.
"For while I want to stay at your house, you don't mind, do you? To be honest, I still can't be friends with the situation. Everything that happened was really hard for me to understand" Nara said.
Nathan nodded. "If that's what you want, we're leaving right now. You better get ready first, I'll be waiting for you outside. There are a few things I should talk to, Mr. Xia." Nathan said as he rubbed Luna's head and then got up from his seat.
The man sauntered away leaving his room and also Luna who was still unmoved. The woman sighed, then Luna got up and went to the bathroom. He should get ready now.

This family situation is really not in a stable state, that's what Nathan is seeing right now. The relationship between Luna and the former Xia Lord was so close that it seemed to be blocked by the dividing wall. Nathan knew exactly what caused it.
"I realize this is all my fault. At first I didn't think it would all be like this. If I had told her about Melisa earlier, Luna would have accepted it. Nathan, please talk to Luna. If you're the one who's talking, Luna's gonna want to hear it."
Nathan breathed a heavy sigh. "I'll try to talk to him later. And in the meantime, I'll take Luna to stay with me. At least give him time, don't force him to accept the woman as his mother. Let it adapt to its current state." Nathan said at length.
Master Xia nodded. "I see, thank you Nathan, you're the only person I can count on." Mr. Xia pat Nathan on the shoulder with a wide smile. He was relieved that there was Nathan who could help with his current problem.

After a nearly 45-minute drive, the two of them arrived at Nathan's residence. And their arrival is greeted by the silliness of Arya, Max and Chan who are playing cards in the family room.
When there was no work, the three of them never missed their free time to play cards and have fun, like today for example.
"Yoo, I won again!!" max shouted with a splash.
Max scoops up all the money that is on the table and the loser has to accept punishment from the real one. And the penalties are certainly varied, the penalties are determined by the winner.
"As per deal!! Then the loser must be punished who wins, and because I am kind and not arrogant, the punishment is hhh... YOU SHOULD DANCE AT THE RED LIGHT AND DRESS UP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!!"
And suddenly made their eyes both widen so shocked. "Yakk!! What kind of punishment is that?! Really, yes, we have to get dressed and dance at the red light?! We both don't want to!!" arya conveyed her voice.
"Like it, inevitably, you two must accept the punishment!!" max said with a big smile. While they both immediately limp.
Nathan could only sigh at the silliness of the three of them, there were only inappropriate things they always did when there was no work.
"Eo, Nunna!!" karna and Arya suddenly cried out loudly and stood up when they saw Luna coming with Nathan. Arya approached Luna and invited the woman to come play. "Nunna, come play with you. We're hugging together!!" arya.
Instead of refusing, Luna accepted. "Okay, who's afraid!!" reply the woman with fire. There was not even a look of sadness in his eyes at this moment.
It seemed like taking Luna out of the Xia residence for a while was the right choice. The proof is that he can smile and be cheerful again when he is not at home.
"Luna, are you sure you're going to play cards with the three of them?! Shouldn't you just rest?" said Nathan.
Luna shook her head. "I'm not tired at all, and for now I'm in need of entertainment. And I think this is the only entertainment that can lessen a little bit of my current mind burden" he replied.
Nathan took a long breath. "Well then, you just play with the three of them I go to the room first." He said and was nodding by Luna. There was no way Nathan would forbid Luna from playing with the three of them. As long as it doesn't harm him, Nathan is fine-fine.
