My Cruel Husband's

Concern of a child

"Yes, but Daddy's okay. It doesn't hurt at all,"

"Errhghh!"

"Sstt don't be so angry. Not good,"

Devan summarized the face of his son who looked very emotional. Adrian's firm jaw looks hard. His little teeth were grinding. When emotions like this, he persisi like Devan.

"Why did he do it? Daddy did what wrong with him?"

Devan shook his head and was confused as to how to explain it. He could not have told Arnold of all the wrongs that led to Devan's retaliation.

Adrian was still crying. His breathing was wheezing and Devan could not bear to see it. Devan holds Adrian in his arms, persuading him to stop crying. Devan's heart hurts when his son is sad like this, let alone caused by him.

"It's an adult business. Adrian doesn't need to know, and stop crying because Daddy's okay, honey...'

"Don't tell anyone what you saw, yeah. Especially to Mommy. No one needs to know,"

Adrian's lips curled when he heard Devan's words. It means that only Devan himself was worried about the incident, he did not allow anyone to feel it either.

"Adrian don't think about anything..."

"Oh yeah, where's the ice cream. Not coming yet," said Devan diverted. As he was about to put Adrian on the sofa, the boy shook his head and further submerged his head in the recess of the father's neck. He has not been content to spill his sadness and worries over Devan at this time. Maybe that's why no one should know. Devan doesn't want anyone to worry.

"Daddy's hands are sick, honey. Come down, yeah,"

Adrian just remembered that Devan's hand was hurt. Without waiting for a long time, he nodded. After sitting on the sofa, Devan contacted his men who had been assigned to buy two delicacies favorite of the child.

The call has not been answered, they have come and give ice cream and chocolate to Adrian.

After that they came out. Devan turned his eyes to Adrian who was staring at both of his favorite foods flatly, no enthusiasm at all. Usually when you see ice cream and chocolate, he is always excited.

"Eat the chocolate. Daddy's gonna spend it, how?"

"Yes, just spend it. I'm not---"

"HUWAAAA," her cries broke and tight again when before it had calmed down a little.

"Good god, this kid,"

Devan is confused now. It has to be what? there are still many jobs, his son has not been able to forget the incident. She was crying hysterically like she was meeting something scary.

"Darling, Daddy's still got work to do. Don't cry anymore, please. Can you understand Daddy?"

"I-I-I-I don't want to cry either. But-tap-i-it's very difficult," she replied accompanied by sobs. Adrian actually did not want to cry anymore but he found it difficult to control his own emotions until the tears came down again.

Devan hugged Adrian and then carried the boy on his lap. Devan gently patted the back of his second son. "Don't cry. Daddy's sad to see it,"

"Come, we're going home. Daddy just rest at home, don't work anymore. How will he come here again?"

"If Daddy's not working, how's Adrian school? can't eat, drink milk, buy toys, buy ice cream and chocolate-"

"Yes, Adrian works."

Devan chuckled at Adrian's reply who was still crying sobbing it. He felt touched when Adrian said he was the only one who worked while Devan was not. He felt worried about Devan until finally volunteered to replace Devan's current position, which is looking for money.

"Daddy is done with work. After that, we go home, yeah,"

"Adrian can help what to get Daddy's job done quickly?"

"Adrian stopped crying alone, it was already very helpful. Let Daddy work, please,"

Adrian nodded and silenced his mouth which still let out sobs. Seeing that, Devan smiled faintly. "Stop crying, you're already claustrophobic of it,"

He nodded back. Devan takes Adrian to his seat of greatness. He works with Adrian on his lap. Even though the focus becomes divided, but he feels more relieved because he can continue to provide calm for Adrian.

One hand Devan worked, the other was tasked with wiping the back of his ignorant son.

Adrian had stopped crying but his breathing had not been regular. He rubs his face on Devan's expensive blazer. Devan smiled amusedly and did not feel any objection at all. Either Adrian did not intentionally do it or he was back ignorant.

Lovi was making Andrean warm tea because the boy complained of cold.

While stirring the tea, suddenly the cup fell and broke. Lovi was surprised and stared at the broken cup on the floor with a puzzled look.

"Why am I so nervous?"

Lovi immediately ducked down to clean up the shards of cups scattered on the floor.

"Awsss," Lovi grimaced as one of the fragments of the cup pierced her finger. Suddenly he was not focused.

One of the maids approached Lovi.

"Miss, let me take care of it. God, you're hurt, miss."

"It's okay. Then please clean this up. Thank you,"

"Yes, Miss. Treat your wound immediately, miss."

"Yes, but I made some tea for Andrean first,"

"Many can make it. Miss need not worry. Miss just treat the wound,"

Finally Lovi nodded. He let the maid make tea for the firstborn.

As he entered the room, Andrean turned to him and looked around for the tea he wanted.

"Tea to me where, Mom?"

"Will be made by the maid. Just a minute, yeah,"

"Okay, Mom." Andrean who was playing with Auristella did not realize that Lovi was injured.

He only realized when Lovi took the medicine box and began to treat his hand that was accidentally pierced.

"Mommy got hurt because of what? why is it bleeding like that?"

"Inadvertently pierced by the broken cup,"

"Gosh,"

Andrean immediately approached Lovi to see the condition of Lovi's hand. So did Auristella. Devan and Lovi's youngest son felt apprehension as well, just like his older brother.

"I told you. Do not be too trusting with companies that suddenly come to give an injection of funds when you have not previously done cooperation with them. You're too stupid! not the bad guys, but you don't have a brain."

Gana scolded Arnold who reported the events that happened earlier. "How are you going to replace the money I've spent on your company? while your own company is in a critical moment right now,"

"I'm fixing it, but I need time. I've only lost a few percent,"

"You've taught Devan that son of a bitch a lesson?"

"Had, I wanted to slice her pulse. But misses,"

"Ah stupid!"

"I managed to scare the kid. I actually wanted to hurt his son too, but I was too focused on teaching that son of a bitch a lesson,"

"If you succeed in injuring his son, I'm sure Devan will become even more inflamed. And you can't live quietly, Arnold."

"I'm not afraid,"

"Even so, you must remain careful. Company at stake. If until the company you own is all controlled by Devan, I won't help you to-"

"That's not gonna happen,"

"Yes, because I won't help you get up again. How much money do you think I've spent to help you set up the company? and I'm waiting for his replacement..."

"Keep on the attack for that fucker. How dare he touch what you've been fighting for all this time,"

"You should have helped me!"

"I've helped you with the fund. The rest, I think-"

"Ah you suck! I'm not the only one with a grudge. But you too,"

"Because I've helped you, so I'm handing Devan's death over to you,"

Ferro goes into Devan's room. Seen Devan is still struggling with his work while holding Adrian.

"What's up, Ferro?"

"Little master why?"

"Sobbing," Devan replied without a sound. Ferro blinked. "Crying for what?"

Devan shows his hand wrapped in bandages. Ferro finally understood. "His work can continue tomorrow, sir. Better get some rest. It seems that the wound is quite deep. And little master needs rest, too,"

"I'm done soon,"

Ferro put down a map containing the files, as usual Devan will check it and then given a signature.

"I'm out first, sir."

Devan nodded. After Ferro left his room, Devan was again busy with what he had to finish. Pity Adrian if too long sleep with a sitting position as it is today. He should have slept in the room in Devan's room. But when Devan brought him there earlier, Adrian woke up and shook his head unwillingly. Devan finally got back to Adrian.

"Andrean wants donuts that taste what?"

"Anything, Grandma."

"choose, Honey. Our tastes are different,"

"Yes, I'm the strawberry."

"One only?"

"Yes,"

"Pick another one,"

Andrean and Senata were visiting the donuts stall. Rarely did Andrean ask to buy something. When he said he wanted to eat donuts, Senata immediately obeyed.

Once at the donuts booth, Andrean was confused as to which donuts. Because there are too many.

"Banana one,"

"What else does it matter?"

"Already, Grandma. Not much,"

"Our journey here is quite far, the time only bought two?"

Andrean looked at each one. He sure only hungry eyes, so do not want to buy a lot. Unlike Adrian who likes to point this and that when invited to buy something.

"Yes, Grandma chose it,"

"Not much, Grandma."

"Yes baby, only five boxes."

"That's a lot,"

"Grandma wants her five boxes,"

"Ease out?"

"Remove,"

"Yes, it's up to Grandma. I just love the money if it doesn't run out,"

"We have to share also in the mansion,"

Andrean nodded and waited for his grandmother to point at the donuts inside the large glass cabinet.

"Thank you,"

"Yes, you're welcome, Madam."

Senata embraces his granddaughter and then comes out of the donuts booth. "We can eat donuts and drink coffee here. The atmosphere is calm. The theme of his booth is also classically elegant,"

"It's more fun to eat anything at home, Grandma."

"There's no harm at all, dear."

"Grandma wants to eat here now?"

"No, next time,"

Reno got out of the car to hold Adrian. Devan did it first. Reno gets out of the way and lets Devan get his son out of the car in a deep sleep.

Devan's steps were so calm that his son wouldn't wake up. Since then he had hoped Adrian did what He asked, not telling anyone about the shocking incident earlier. But it seems Adrian will not fulfill his wish. Adrian feels that everyone should know especially Lovi and her grandparents.

When Devan entered the room, his wife was struggling with a cell phone with Auristella.

"Finally home too,"

Lovi welcomed her husband. And immediately prepare an empty side for Adrian. This bed is like a playground because there are so many Auristella toys.

"Why hands?"

"Small wounds, only,"

"Little? why did it get bandaged like that?"

"I'll take a shower, Lov."

Devan just goes to the bathroom to clean her body, leaving Lovi confused as her questions go unanswered.

"Don't get soap or anything in the shower. Better not take a shower,"

"The wound's not bad, so it's okay."

"Later you feel pain, Devan. Why is it so hard to tell?"

"Yes, okay. But I'll keep taking a shower and keep the wound from anything,"

Lovi prepares clothes and bandages to replace Devan bandages later. Auristella glanced at her second sister. I couldn't see Adrian calm down. That kid must be annoying.

"Don't bother Adrian,"

"Silver,"

He replied 'no' while shaking his head but his gestures were not appropriate. He crawled closer to Adrian. Then looked deeply into Adrian's face which was so deep. Usually the boy will hit Adrian's face when Adrian is asleep. But what he does now is rub Adrian's face and Adrian's eyes as if he felt what the brother felt some time ago.

"Mmm," murmured Auristella called out to Lovi. The mother turned her head and asked, "Why, honey?"

Auristella showed me her hand. Lovi immediately saw the boy's hand. He thinks what's in Auristella's hand is water.

"What water is this?"

Auristella rubs Adrian's eyelashes now. Lovi squinted for a while to understand the actions of his youngest child.

Lovi then approached Adrian's face. Her son's nose is flushed though not so noticeable. There was a trail of water in Adrian's eyelashes and the corner of Adrian's eyes that had almost disappeared perfectly.

Adrian seemed to take a momentary breath. His breath felt heavy. And Lovi who saw him immediately rubbed Adrian's chest.

"Adrian seemed to have cried out great" muttered the mother of three.

Auristella nodded as if agreeing with her mother's words. "Yes" he said briefly.

Andrean had already arrived at the mansion. He immediately entered the room carrying two boxes of donuts on his Grandma's errand.

"Mom, these donuts are Grandma Sena's. Auris can't eat donuts huh, Mom?"

"It can't be, honey."

"Adrian has gone home apparently,"

Andrean just realized there was his sister under the blanket. "Better eat her at the bottom dining table, honey. Biar Auristella-"

"Oh yeah, I get it."

He obediently brought back the two boxes of donuts downstairs to the dining room to enjoy them there without being seen by his sister who loved wanting adult food like a child babies in general. Though the age is not yet one year and certainly not possible to enjoy donuts.

"Your mommy and Auris are sleeping?"

"No, they're just playing. Adrian and Daddy are home, too,"

Senata accompanied his grandson to eat donuts after he prepared donuts for the people who worked there.

"So Mommy broke the cup and her hand was injured, Grandma,"

"Oh yeah? treated already?"

"Already, and I saw Mommy daydream a lot earlier. But trying to be covered by the busy way of playing mobile phones. I'm watching Mommy,"

Andrean, who rarely spoke much, had just delivered what he had seen since. The scene where Lovi looks restless, many times he found Lovi daydreaming too, he said, but trying to look okay by playing mobile phone and looking at anything that can eliminate the feeling of unease in his heart. Such a funny video invites laughter, and invites Auristella to watch a cartoon series.
