Lovi rubbed his sweaty forehead after washing his son's school clothes by hand.
She accidentally washed after Devan left so that her husband would not get angry. Though Lovi did it because he would feel more satisfied to see his son's uniform is completely clean. If you use a tool to wash sometimes there are still stains. Moreover, children their age are still careless when wearing clothes.
Adrian often plays futsal when his uniform is broken white. When he falls on the field, it will get dirty. Free to also be told because they do not understand how difficult it is to wash clothes. Lovi was never angry either. She said her children were too small.
"Miss, if in the novels that I read often, rich women like Nona never know with homework,"
Lovi just smiled with his hands still busy brushing the collar of Andrean's uniform.
"The rich are not me. But my husband,"
"But right, Miss---"
"All women will do this in the end. We can't always count on others, can we? So you have to learn,"
"After all, it's just Andrean and Adrian's uniforms that I wash by hand while others use tools,"
"Sir, too" added the maid.
"Master has often been angry because Miss is like this. There are many maids who can do it. But Miss still wants to do it herself,"
"I'm also bored if there's no activity,"
"No activity?"
"Yes,"
"Wake up and go straight down to the kitchen, and then prepare all the equipment for the little gentlemen and also Mr. Devan. Not to mention that Auris is awake. After taking care of Auris, Miss cleaned the room alone even though there was already someone assigned to do that. Then after--"
"Now, don't mention them one by one." Lovi said, laughing. If mentioned it will sound a lot but when done it does not feel much and tiring. Maybe because he really enjoyed his role.
"Lovi, Auris is awake."
Senata seemed to enter the washing room while carrying Auristella.
"Wait a minute, honey. Mommy's just rinsing,"
Auristella was silent and not whining meant she agreed. And Senata took him out of the room with tools to wash it.
"I was the one who rinsed it, Miss."
"Don't, I'm gonna have to let you down later, please,"
********
Devan entered his study. There were not five minutes he sat, there was a phone call coming in from the detective he paid.
"How's it?"
"He no longer works in that toy store, sir."
"What's his name?"
"Alvaro,"
"Find it and teach it a lesson!"
"Good, Master,"
Devan keeps his phone away from his ears. Then he smiled as he flipped through his phone.
"You think it's that easy to escape after making a mess in my mansion, you stupid son of a bitch!"
Devan saw his phone again. To check the message he just sent to Lovi. Adrian and Adrina haven't been opened by his wife.
"What is he doing?"
Before starting work it is worth listening to the source of passion for him to speak. And may Auristela wake up. Devan misses him because when Devan leaves, Auristella is still sleeping.
He contacted Lovi once, twice there was no answer. Then when he was about to repeat the call, Lovi had already contacted him first.
"Hi, Lov."
"Hi, baby."
"How long did I answer my call? What are you doing? Is Auris awake?"
"Can I ask one-on-one?"
Devan chuckles and nods even though Lovi doesn't see him. He repeated, "Why now answer my pangillan?"
"Auris just woke up, and as usual when just woke up he will be very spoiled. So, I have to serve his spoiled first,"
That answer answered all of Devan's questions. Lovi had just finished washing and Auristella was still with her grandmother. But Lovi is lazy to hear Devan's grunts when he knows Lovi is washing.
Sometimes Lovi is surprised by Devan. Once if you see Lovi doing homework. Though he himself also knew that the duty of the wife is like that.
"What is Auris doing now?"
Lovi walked out of the laundry room to approach her daughter with Senata.
"Playing on the playground,"
"Andrean and Adrian go straight to sleep?"
When Devan drove them to the mansion after camping, they said they wanted to sleep again because last night their sleep was disturbed by blood-sucking insects, namely mosquitoes.
"Yes, after a shower go straight to sleep,"
"See them once in a while, Lov."
"Yes, I get it,"
Since the location of Adrian and Andrean's room had been the target of criminals, when they were in the room, Lovi and Devan had to watch over them often.
"Why don't you tell me to sleep in our room anyway?"
"No, 'cause Auris had control of the bed. They are confused where to sleep. Afraid also Auris feels cramped,"
"Yes, you guys be careful. You don't come out if there's nothing important,"
"But by late afternoon, I'm going to the boutique, okay?"
"What's there for? The situation isn't safe, Lov."
"Elea will fittings,"
"Ck! why deal with him again? Apparently you're still accepting the offer of cooperation with him?"
Devan thought Lovi would refuse after Devan got angry. Apparently Lovi still wants to be a designer for Elea's wedding dress.
"of course. Opportunities should not be wasted,"
"How much did he pay for your services?"
Lovi silently listened to Devan let out his heartbreak. He nodded as Senata said with his lips moving that he wanted to have breakfast first.
Dan Lovi soon replaced the role of Senata. He watched Auristella play alone.
"I'm paying now and you don't have to deal with him anymore,"
"Can't be like that. He and I have a deal,"
"Jeez, Lovi...Lovi... Why is your brain so stupid? Being told your husband to keep you okay, was violated. Know you have an agreement. Oh, that's it, it's up to you,"
Clique
"uh? she mad?" Lovi asked flabbergasted as the call was decided unilaterally by the husband.
Lovi saw the message Devan sent before he called. When opened, it turns out a photo featuring Adrian feeding Adrina.
"Aaihh whose son is this? Why is it so sweet of him,"
Lovi growled. Their friendship was that close. I hope they stay friendly at all times.
It just seems so close. They have attitudes that are not much different. Both like to commotion, disturb people, and melt the atmosphere although sometimes it can be annoying for everyone.

"How's everything going?"
"Ah you can only rule. We're working together,"
"Is that how you talk to people who have helped you?"
Arnold clucked lazily. Again that's what was revealed. "I know you made my company stand. But we both have a grudge for them. So it shouldn't be just me working,"
"Ah this beggar speaks much. You want everything I've given you, I'm pulling it back?"
Arnold immediately turned off his call. Damnit damnit! Why is he enslaved here anyway He is in need of help for his company?
*****
"Your company won, sir."
"Oh really? I expected it,"
"He must be very emotional. Considering the stock this time is not small,"
Devan smiled with satisfaction when he got the news that his subsidiary who had fought over shares with several companies including Arnold's managed to win.
Unlike Devan who is very happy, Arnold is just the opposite. This defeat will certainly invite the frustration of someone who has been supporting the development of his company.
"Stupid! A small stock loses, a big one like that,"
"Korazar, companies are like life. Not always going well,"
"Whose company got it?"
"I don't want to know."
"You can approach them. Maybe someday we'll work together,"
"Small companies only,"
He did not seem to know that all companies did not immediately become big. It could be considered small, it is dangerous in competition.
Devan proved that. He used one of his subsidiaries that was only a year ago pioneered but managed to win the auction of shares sold by a company by offering the highest price among others.

"The dress is great. I really like it. Thank you, Lovi."
"Return of love. I'm grateful that you like it. But it's not perfect yet. There are still some accents that haven't been attached,"
"Yes, I know. But this is good. What else if it's completely,"
"And for my future husband's clothes?"
"When do you want fittings?"
"He wanted to now. But since there's work that can't be put off, so fail,"
"By the way, who's your future husband?"
"You and Devan have met him,"
"Oh who met at the restaurant if not wrong huh?"
"Yes, right. He's the one,"
"Wow, you guys are great at surviving long enough,"
"Yes, good luck with the happy ending. Not like when I was with Devan,"
Lovi smiled bitterly hearing that. He was upset but tried hard to keep giving seyum to his client.
"Sorry, I don't mean---"
"It's okay. Devan is happy with me. And you have to be like that, but not with Devan of course." Lovi replied casually but managed to reply in a landslide. I don't know what Elea meant to say, but most importantly He had openly declared ownership of Devan so that Elea would no longer mess around. It's crazy that woman still hopes for Devan. Soon she will marry, will she not think about her husband's feelings?
"Yes already then. I can't stay in the boutique for long,"
Lovi gave Elea's dress to one of his employees to be stored and added to his shortcomings and corrected his mistakes to be absolutely perfect.
"Why indeed?"
"Obviously, my husband was too worried that I would be outside for a long time,"
Elea nodded with her smile. He knows very well how Devan is if he is possessive. But when she was with him first, Devan never got that way to her. Ah of course, Lovi's his wife.
Devan only picks up after Elea finishes her activities. Then ask Elea's news only by phone. Not to tell Elea to go home quickly because she was worried.

"Keep why?"
"Adrian wants to, too,"
"Not for now. Later, yes,"
"When? I miss my horse, too, Dad."
"Your horse doesn't miss its owner,"
"Huh, Daddy! I'm serious,"
"Daddy's serious, don't bother, either,"
To ask Devan for permission, Adrian was willing to follow his Daddy to the workspace. He was busy with the Hulk. But because I just remembered that later Sunday Adrina wanted to ride, he stopped playing first.
"If the same Daddy can't, Adrian will ask Mommy for permission. Hye!"
Seeing his son get up and walk towards the door, Devan said, "Mommy always follows what Daddy says. We have always been very close in educating. You already know that, right?"
"No, sometimes Mommy defends me while Daddy blames me,"
"Ck! Daddy blames you because you were wrong. Mommy is like that too. There's no story of Mommy defending the wrong kid,"
Adrian exits his Daddy's office by slamming the door. Devan gets jerked behind his desk.
"IF THE DOOR OF DADDY'S WORKSPACE IS BROKEN, DADDY SELLS YOUR HULK TO FIX THE BROKEN DOOR," Devan shouted from inside his study so the child could hear.
Adrian closed both ears and ran up the stairs. He was upset, and Auristella added to his annoyance. His brother plays his hulk. Pressing the remote with the origin until the hulk crashes into the wall.
"AURISTELLA HULK I'LL GET HURT!"
Auristella immediately slammed the remote because of shock.Adrian walked quickly towards Auristella then stared intently at his sister when the remote was even grabbed again.
"Why not ban Auris from playing this?!" The spray directly on the sister and nurse Auristella.
"Rather than he's a fuss, it's better to go on loan" Andrean replied casually as he ran his thomas train.
"But he deliberately made the hulk hit the wall,"
"He doesn't know how to play that, Adrian."
"If you don't know why it's played?!"
Adrian soon grabs the remote from Auristella's hand, "Based on a pretentious little boy!" he said in an unrelenting tone. Auristella stared at her empty hand blankly.
"He's usually scared. Now why dare? the red robot he's afraid of, it's more creepy but he's brave enough to play it,"
"That's good, he's brave,"
"If he's brave, it could be hulk in I-admitted. I don't want to! it's my hulk, so I'm the only one who can touch it,"
********
"Mommy's looking around what?"
"Ah, you are very curious,"
Lovi keeps his phone out of Adrian's eye. His son squinted sharply when he saw he was playing mobile phones with a smile.
"Mommy, who are you talking to?! why keep smiling?"
"Like Devan once in his nature. Lucky to be getting old, Devan isn't so possessive anymore,"
"DADDY, MOMMY SMILES EVER SINCE WHILE STARING AT HER PHONE," Adrian begins to report what happened to his Daddy.
"You wait in the dining room. Soon the eggs are ripe,"
"No way!"
"DAD-"
"What, Adrian? why yell?"
"Mommy smiles at the phone. It's been so, Dad."
This time Devan's eyes turned to his wife. He immediately grabbed Lovi's phone from his owner's hand and saw something that made his wife smile as Adrian said.
Lovi grunting. He took back his words. Devan is still over-possessive.
"I saw Sheva's post recording Adrina whining for permission to ride tomorrow,"
"Ngapain whining? tomorrow is his riding schedule, he said,"
"Aunty Sheva is sick,"
"Yhaaa is not riding. Favors delicious. Not nothing has been arrogant to me anyway!"
Adrian sneered while glancing at Lovi's phone in Devan's hand. It was like the phone was Adrina.
"Your son also whines about riding. But I'm forbidden,"
"Yes I know. He reported to me. And beg to be allowed,"
"Then will you allow it?"
"Of course not. Whatever they do must get permission from you,"
Devan looked at his son with a stupefied face. True what he said. Lovi will always support his decision.
"He's very confident that you'll allow it, not like me."
******
Not so riding, still not dampened the spirit of Adrian to persuade Devan to want to take himself for a walk this weekend. With all persuasion, Devan finally invited his two children to play in the playground and later they both will stay at Lucas' house.
Andrean wanted to stay there. Even as Lovi prepared their clothes, Andrean said "Mom, the clothes carried should be a lot. I'll stay there a long time,"
"No way, tomorrow has to be school,"
"Oh yeah, I just remembered. Stay a little while, Mom."
"Next time to stay again,"
After playing, they had lunch first before going to Lucas' house. "Adrian wants to wash his hands, Dad."
"Come, Daddy's intermin."
"No need. Adrian can be alone,"
"No, danger. Otherwise with Daddy-" Devan turns his eyes towards the bunch of bodyguards guarding them at the other table, waiting for the food Devan ordered for them.
"Mike!" call Devan to one of them.
A man named Mike approached. And Devan pointed to Adrian. "Please between Adrian washing his hands,"
"Good, Sir."
"Take good care of him!"
"Ready, Sir."
Mike was too afraid of Adrian why-why until he held tightly Adrian's hand so that the boy could not act, running around here and there.
"Okay, Mike. My hands hurt,"
"I didn't hurt little Master's hand" refuted Mike, who knew very well how to fight his Master's son. Surely the goal is not just to the sink but stop by first. What else in the restaurant there is a place to display robots. It must have been what attracted the attention of Adrian since then until he walked too, stared at the robot.
After reaching the sink and washing his hands, Adrian immediately ran. Not to be taken care of by Mike. As he runs while staring back where Mike is following in quick steps, Adrian accidentally bumps into a man. He grimaced as he rubbed his head.
"In a place like this don't run. Do you think this is a sports venue?" Adrian was immediately sprayed with anger.
Mike immediately approached and apologized for his little Master's mistake. "Basin a bad boy!" the sarcophagus that made Adrian looked down even deeper.
"Dad, it looks like Adrian is throwing a tantrum again," his eldest son's words make Devan look around for Adrian with his sharp eyes. He saw a man in front of Adrian with his fierce face.
Without waiting for a long time, Devan immediately approached. "What's up, Mike?" devan asked his bodyguard.
"This kid hit me until my drink spilled. She's spilling on my shirt again, it should be on her body."
Devan's jaw is hardened. He immediately pulled Adrian's head to drown him in his stomach. He rubbed Adrian's head.
"Sorry, I'll change the drink--"
"Darling!"
The angry man turned his head as the voice of his lover called out. So did Devan.
"Kenap--- Devan?"
Devan rolled his eyes lazily.
"Elea again," murmured his inner self.
"Why is it so long?"
"Drink mine spilled because of this boy,"
Elea's lover's hand pointed at Adrian and Devan didn't like it. It immediately hit the index man who was called Elea with the name 'honey'. Devan forgets that it was Elea's lover when they had met before.
"How dare you point at my son like that. I've apologized, and want to change your drink even twice as much, I'm ready to pay for it. Don't make small problems bigger!"
Elea immediately rubbed her lover's arm until the man turned his head. Elea shook her head, gesturing her not to argue here. Elea knew very well what this restaurant would be like if Devan was already emotional.
Devan immediately brought his son back to the table approaching Andrean who had been watching since earlier with his other bodyguards.
"Turn this problem, Mike."
Mike nodded obediently as his Master gave the edict before stepping up to his table.
"Please order another drink," said Mike according to Devan's orders earlier that he must take care of everything that is to compensate for what Adrian has done.
The man clucked and shook his head. "No need! I can still afford it myself,"
Mike sniffed his shoulder while turning his head, "If you can still why was angry. Just buy it again, what's the trouble?"
"Have it, don't hug Daddy like this again." Devan tried to remove the circle of Adrian's hand on his stomach and he also tried to get rid of the head of his son who was still leaning on his stomach.
"He's your ex-boyfriend, isn't he? I think I've met,"
"Yes, don't talk about it anymore. Come on, let's eat now,"
After ordering the drinks back, Elea and her lover return to their place. It just so happened that they were eating on the outside of the restaurant while Devan was inside.
Adrian finally dared to raise his head. Devan examines the face of the child. Afraid she was crying. Apparently not.
"The man once also scolded Adrian while with Mommy,"
"Certainly so?"
"Yes, Adrian's time accompanied Mommy shopping. Adrian was hit by his car as he was about to enter the basement. He was immediately angry. Though he was also wrong because the speed is quite high," said Adrian who recalled the incident.
"Oh he made your waist hurt? then he's mad at you too?"
"My waist doesn't hurt,"
"Time it-"
"That's different again, Dad. What I'm telling you is it's happening in the mall. If my waist hurts, it's in Mommy's boutique,"
"Oh different story. You have been in a small accident. So Daddy's confused,"
"Mommy was also angry at him. Because Mommy said, if you have entered the basement you no longer need to drive fast. Although Adrian is also wrong for not looking around on the road and even busy counting cars in the basement,"
"The bottom line is that you are both wrong" added Andrean, his older brother who had been eating quietly.
"What is counting cars for. Gosh..." Devan shook his head in wonder. Isn't there anything more useful than counting cars in the basement?
"How much do you get paid by the mall after counting cars?"
devan's question made Adrian frown. Was it his wrong doing?
"Rather than counting the number of cars, it's better to count Daddy's money. You see Daddy's confused about counting it, it's been too much,"
Andrean glanced at his Daddy sharply as he hissed, "Not to be arrogant! God will be angry. It's not Daddy's, it's God,"
"REALLY!" Adrian agreed with what his brother said.
Devan chuckles amusedly at the sight of his spirited son once commemorating him. It turned out that they had understood that the treasure was only a deposit, not an absolute possession of humans.
Devan immediately kissed the heads of the two of them with a feeling of pride. But, he was not really bragging. Devan did not expect that his son would take his words seriously. Devan's eyes and heart are increasingly made open to realize that anything you have should not be boasted about.
