MY FOSTER SON

Kylan's Regret

Kylan didn't even let Jojo farewell, he dragged Jojo's arm forcefully out of the cafe. The entire visitor turned their eyes to them as Kylan almost made a fuss.

The hatred of the man is growing. How could Merlinda say such a thing to a girl who has been taking care of her children for months?

Along his arm was dragged by Kylan towards the parking lot. Jojo just kept quiet and obeyed the man's footsteps despite feeling bad for leaving Merlinda impolite.

"What are you thinking? Huh huh? Didn't we ask you not to get in touch with that person anymore?" kylan asked as they reached the parking lot. Jojo was standing near the car with a bad feeling.

"That man is your mama, Kylan. You shouldn't talk to him like that" Jojo replied.

"Then, what should I do when I hear you being humiliated like that? Should I just shut up and pretend to be deaf?" Kylan's question made Jojo difficult to answer. What the man did, was for his sake.

The girl could only shut up and sigh, her chest ached and tight.

"Lake in!" kylan ordered while opening the door.

Without being told twice, Jojo got into Kylan's car. The man hurried to close the door, but from a distance, he saw Merlinda watching them.

For some reason, Kylan did not really care about Merlinda, nor did he hate the middle-aged woman as much as his other brother's hatred. But hearing how Jojo was humbled like that, Kylan could not help but be patient.

So far, Jojo who takes care of all the needs of himself and his three brothers. The girl works for them sincerely, doing whatever it takes to make sure they are comfortable. Even when everyone asked Jojo to no longer be in touch with Merlinda, the girl did. But Kylan was sure, it was all Jojo did for a reason.

Although Jojo scolds her every morning, Kylan feels Jojo is still the best. The girl never complained even though almost every day she made the same mistake.

As Kylan saw Merlinda walking over, the man rushed into the car and darted quickly away from the cafe.

Along the way, Kylan could only shut up and glanced at Jojo. The girl's face was bent, there was a burden that she could not lean on anyone.

"I'm sorry if I was rude" Kylan said. He felt guilty when he saw Jojo's wrist leaving a red mark due to his strong grip. It happened because Jojo had wanted to refuse his invitation.

"Hm."

Kylan pulled his car over, pulled Jojo's arm and noticed a red mark on the girl's wrist.

"It doesn't hurt, it's okay" Jojo said with a smile. He patted Kylan's back.

"alright. I didn't mean to hurt you."

"I know."

"Please don't see your mom again. You definitely don't want Brother to be angry" Kylan said. He leaned his head on the chair while looking at Jojo.

"And please don't say anything to Brother. They'll be mad if you tell them everything" Jojo said.

"They deserve to know, Jo. What you did, it was so inappropriate. How could he say such a bad thing to you? It is not worth mentioning as a parent. It is no longer his business with whom his children are in a relationship. You also deserve to have a relationship with anyone, what cares!" exclaim Kylan.

"Kylan. What your mother said is true. Please don't think about it too much, I'm fine."

"Stop defending him!"

Kylan watched the girl beside him. How could anyone who was not heard to have the slightest grudge after being humbled to such an extent? What is the heart of the girl?

"You have to promise, don't say anything to the people at home. Remember who gave birth to you, don't get too absorbed in hatred. Don't you want you guys to be back with your mama?" ask Jojo.

"That's not on my wish list."

"Listen to me, Jojo. Don't listen to what you say, if you like Keenan, do what you want to do. No one else has no right to rule you!"

Jojo smiled as he shook his head slowly. Why do all these people have such thoughts?

"Don't joke. Not a single bit of desire like that came into my mind. You need to know, I'm not the one who falls in love easily, Kylan!" exclaim Jojo.

"Okay, let's see. How far have you survived the charms of my brothers" led Kylan.

Jojo's mood improved after chatting a lot with Kylan. One of his foster children, since the beginning did not talk too much. But after talking, Kylan also often makes Jojo upset.

After Kylan returned to see Jojo's smile re-expanding, the man drove his car casually. He paused for a second to buy two glasses of iced chocolate as an apology for his rude behavior, then they returned home.

After arriving home, in fact Kalingga was sitting in the living room while playing mobile phone.

"Where are you two from?" kalingga asked when he saw Jojo and his sister coming in together.

"We ...."

"I happened to pass in front of Jojo's campus, brother. So all I picked him up," interrupted Kylan before Jojo looked for an excuse.

Jojo nodded with a smile to tell Kylan.

"He bought me ice chocolate" said Jojo, showing ice chocolate in a cup that was just a little.

Kalingga could only remain silent and did not want to ask more questions. Why did he now feel that his younger siblings were one step ahead of him?

Jojo walks into his room, while accompanying Kalingga in the living room.

"How's your job today?" ask Kalingga to his sister.

"It looks like next week I'm going abroad, brother. My friends and I have a project to take pictures at Seoul Fashion Week."

"That's great, an improvement."

"Then, what about the condition of the store today? Any obstacles?"

"So far no, don't worry."

The two of them sat down and talked about a lot of things. Because now the company already has its own store, Kalingga so not too busy, he can go home quickly and have a lot of time with his sisters, he said, because now Keenan and Kylan also intervened to take care of the outlet.

During the conversation, Kylan did not mention the matter about Jojo and Merlinda that had just happened a few hours ago. He understands enough and does not want to make Jojo angry at him. If Kalingga and Keenan knew, Kylan would not even be able to imagine their reaction.

The night when the four brothers had gathered at the dinner table, Jojo served his mainstay fried rice. Because last week he did not have time to shop weekly needs, Jojo must be more creative and take advantage of what is in his refrigerator.

"Sorry, fried rice again," said Jojo as he divided the rice on his children's plates.

"We don't have any other side dishes?" ask Kai.

"Hey, you didn't drive me to the market. Don't fuss!" exclaim Jojo. The girl made Kai shut up and disengaged his intention to protest.
