Demitri came back clucking at Ivander's long words, “If you sit here just to lecture me you better get out. Because it has no effect on me and will only make me even more upset.”
Ivander glanced back at Demitri, his older brother was really hard to tell. “If you really want to get Hannah, first Tama you have to get close to her son first, make his son hate his father. And win the child's heart, if you can win the child's heart then you can also win his mother's heart.”

“You mean I should approach Hannah's son? don't be crazy you Ivander, you know for yourself I can't be close to a little kid.” Demitri stared exasperatedly at Ivander, the idea of what kind of thing Ivander knew for himself that Demitri had no talent in attracting young children. Demitri's got it's smart to make a kid cry.
“You don't trust me. A mother's weakness is her child. Free you keep telling Giovano's rottenness, Hannah won't look at you her main focus is her son. Even though her husband cheated on her, or drank poison even though she would not care as long as her child was happy healthy and did not suffer. A Mother's thinking is like that.”
Demitri fell silent thinking Ivander's words well, trying to understand him. Indeed Ivander's words sound reasonable but still impossible for Demitri can be close to Axel.
Not only because Demitri can not be close to small children but Demitri is also unlikely to be able to get close to Axel, Axel must never be alone always accompanied by Giovano or Hannah.
Even if there is a time when Axel is not with his parents it is a time where Axel is in school. So at its core Demitri would not be able to get close to Axel.

“You look really upset, is there anything that bothers you again?” Darlen is confused when he sees Hannah returning from Axel school with a super tangled face.
“Did you meet Demitri again like yesterday?” Guess Darlen is right on target, Hannah did meet Demitri at Axel school. “This time what nonsense did he say to you?”
Hannah sighed heavily, throwing her body lying limp on the sofa. Fighting with Demitri before her makes Hannah feel all her energy is sucked up.
“He still forces me to trust his word. Told me that Giovano cheated on me behind my back with you. That fool, that kind of thing I don't need to know from him I know more about you and Giovano more than him.” Hannah screeched to remember the words of Demitri, “Fraud what exactly you are married and I am here only a mosquito in your friendly life.”
Darlen chuckles at Hannah's words, Darlen raises Hannah's head. Sitting on the sofa and positioning Hannah's head to make Darlen's thigh a cushion for her head. “So you're jealous to see me and Giovano making out?”
Darlen rubbed gently on Hannah's top of the head, wiping her with great affection. Hannah who felt the rubbing smiled as she looked at Darlen's face.
“I'm not envious at all, I'm glad to see you guys happy. It's just, I hate it because Demitri keeps coming to me and saying bad things about you guys. Makes me want to stuff his mouth with bricks and tell him that all the bullshit he said was not true. You and Giovano aren't such bad guys.”
The movement of Darlen's hand that rubbed the top of Hannah's head stopped, Darlen suddenly fell silent. Think of Hannah's words in silence.
Somehow after hearing Hannah's words about herself and Giovano make Darlen feel guilty, Hannah considers Darlen and Giovano to be very good people in her eyes.
What would happen if Hannah knew that Hannah had been lying to Darlen, lying in many ways. It's about Hannah who is not Darlen's sister, and also about the truth about Hannah's past that Darlen is deliberately hiding.
Hannah frowned in confusion when she saw Darlen who was suddenly silent, thinking if she had a mispronunciation that made Darlen hurt or something.
“What's Darlen doing, why are you so silent?” Hannah got up from her lying position, staring at Darlen with a worried look. Afraid that he might misspoke, which hurt Darlen's feelings unknowingly.
Darlen shook his head and smiled, “I'm fine. It's just that I've been thinking too much about your words. Hannah..You don't think too much of me as a good person, I'm not that good.”
“You mean? Of course I think you're good because you're good, you're my brother. You're a good brother, I don't care if anyone says you're weird, disgusting and all sorts of things. In my eyes you are still my perfect sister.”
This time Hannah's words increasingly sliced Darlen's heart, Darlen's feelings really swayed at this time. Darlen feels guilty for covering up the truth from Hannah.
Darlen bites his lips in doubt, Darlen being among his desire to speak honestly and quietly cover up all his like there was never anything Darlen lied to.
“What's the real Darlen, you don't look like you're okay. Just tell me if anything bothers you.”
Darlen sighed heavily, well this is his decision. Darlen must be ready to accept Hannah's anger after Darlen tells her the truth. “Hannah..I, I am not your real brother.”
Darlen did not see any look of surprise on Hannah's face when she heard Darlen's words, was it not her present upon hearing that Hannah would be shocked and angry? berating Darlen for cheating her all along.
“You're not surprised?" darlen asked as he looked at Hannah, still feeling strange with Hannah's response out of his mind.
Of course Hannah was not surprised, Hannah had known for a long time that there was something Darlen was hiding from her. And one of the things Hannah suspects is that she and Darlen are not really blood related.
During Hannah's stay with Darlen, Hannah always tries to remember Darlen no matter how small she tries to remember him because Darlen says they are brothers, but never a single memory has emerged of Darlen.
“I've thought of her, but I dare not ask you. I'm afraid if I ask such a thing you're just hurt by my question, anyway I don't care if we're really blood or not. big Brother's appendage is not important to me, the most important thing is that you love me like your sister and I love you like my own brother. To hell with the blood ties, people who have blood ties are not necessarily able to love each other like you and I love each other.”
Lying when Darlen said that his heart was not touched after hearing Hannah's words, Darlen was really very surprised.
Darlen's eyes glazed over, beginning to shed tears Not tears of sadness but tears of happiness that Hannah did not hate her after Darlen lied to Hannah all this time about their true status.
Darlen grabs Hannah into his arms, peeping Hannah's head gently as a form of expression of her affection.
Hannah reciprocates Darlen's embrace, hugs Darlen tightly and sinks his face in Darlen's chest.
“You've been honest with me about this, don't you want to say anything else? I know this isn't all you've kept secret from me, Darlen.” In Darlen Hannah's arms said that even though her voice was muffled by Darlen's chest, Darlen could still hear what Hannah had said clearly.
In Darlen's arms, Hannah could feel Darlen's body stiffening, Darlen must have been surprised by Hannah's words. And don't know how else to avoid.
Because it's true that it's not just the truth of their status that Darlen is hiding.
“If that is so, I'm sorry Hannah. I dare not say it. Because the last time I saw you knowing that fact you almost died. I don't want to lose you again.” Darlen tightens his arms, a shadow of memories from the past still haunting Darlen.
the memory that every time Darlen sees Hannah, Hannah is always in a state of injury. Full of blood and almost dead.
Honestly, it was hard for Darlen too. Seeing Hannah broken and injured makes a special wound in Darlen's heart.
“You still don't want to say it to me even if I beg you? Would you rather I find out what you're hiding from others?” Hannah began to shed tears in Darlen's arms, “I beg Darlen, I want to know all of her from your mouth straight away. I want you to tell me the truth.”
Darlen fell silent again, his mind raging. Confused with himself, not knowing how. Should he be honest?
But if Darlen's honest, can Hannah guarantee that Hannah won't be what she used to be? Injuring himself in such a way as to always meet the threshold of death.
Darlen does not want the bitter events of the past to reoccur.
