MY STEPBROTHER'S REPLACEMENT

Chapter #47

"You're not going to the company?" dorothy asked her daughter.

"No, I'm lazy to work" Julia replied.

"Why have you been a slacker lately? You want if your father doesn't trust you anymore to take care of his company and instead entrust it to one of your aunt's children" Dorothy said.

"Mom, stop talking like that. Almost every day mommy says it," Julia upset.

"Julia! You've been brave to mommy? Mommy says it's for your own good in the future" Dorothy said.

Julia covered her face with her own two hands.

"I'm sorry mom, I'm just in a rage. Henry always rejected me," Julia said.

"Stop chasing him and look for other men, a lot of rich men who want you" Dorothy said.

"Can't be mom ... Mommy knows for herself I love Henry so much" Julia exclaimed.

"If you loved Henry so much, you wouldn't have been pregnant with another boy by then," it's upset Dorothy if she remembers her daughter's own confession if the child she was carrying was the child of another man.

And fortunately only he knows, if until Marco knows they are gone.

"Mom .. I told you, I was drunk at the time. I don't know if it's gonna end up in a hotel room with another guy" Julia said.

"Luckily only mommy knows, if until your daddy knows we're done," Dorothy said.

"Go to the company now, if you don't want your father to be angry. One more thing, Henry went to Spain," Dorothy said, exiting her daughter's room.

Julia walked out of her room to chase after her mother.

"Mom!" call Julia.

"What else is it?" ask Dorothy.

"Why mommy just said now if Henry went to Spain," said Julia.

"Mommy also just found out earlier, maybe he left yesterday and now it has arrived" he replied.

"What's he doing to Spain?" ask Julia.

"Mommy doesn't know, maybe it's work. If you want to know, follow him there. But, before that, finish your work in the office if you don't want to hear your father's scolding because you're gone" Dorothy replied and resumed her steps.

Julia went back into her room and began to change her clothes with work clothes, so she had to obey her mother's orders to enter work.

Since Henrietta did not return, Henry decided to return home and will return tomorrow. Because she's sure Henrietta will be back at this restaurant.

Henry walked down the stairs to the bottom floor where the cashier was.

"Table number 14" said Henry.

"Your drink has paid," said the cashier.

"Who?" henry asked with his face flat.

"The owner of this restaurant, he said specifically for you not to pay," he replied.

"Who's your boss's name?"

"Miss Rietta" the employee replied.

Henry was silent for a moment, his brain seemed to digest what he had just heard.

"Where is he now?" ask Henry.

"He just left" he said.

Henry walked out of the restaurant without asking where Henrietta was going.

"You're growing very fast, even without my help," he murmured with his eyes still focused on the front, left and right in search of Henrietta's whereabouts

It's been almost an hour since Henry walked down the street. I don't know where Henrietta went.

Meanwhile, the person who had been looking for was sitting under a shady tree in the park while facing the lake.

Henrietta's view is focused on the lake water is so calm, the flowers around the park began to bloom because it has entered spring.

Every now and then Henrietta would close her eyes to feel the wind blowing on her beautiful face.

The shadow of Henry that he saw always flashed every time he closed his eyes, Henry's handsome face that had not changed since six years ago, lips that never smiled at him.

During these six years he had always avoided all news related to the man.

If he goes back to Henry what's going to happen.

"What should I do?" murmured Henrietta who was beginning to feel worried.

On the other hand he thought about the fate of his two children. However, they deserve to know who their father is and Henry has the right to know if he has two children.

"Wherever you go, you'll still meet him Rietta" Henrietta's monologue told himself.

Henrietta looked at the clock on her phone. "There's still an hour left to pick up the kids" he said.

Henrietta did not leave immediately, she was still at home sitting on a stretch of grass while looking at the lake water.

From a distance there was a man who had been watching Henrietta.

"Whatever way you evade, we'll always meet. My wife," he said with a view that did not escape the slightest from Henrietta.

The man ventured to approach Henrietta and sat himself beside her.

"Are we not fools" he said with a heavy voice.

Henrietta's beautiful eyes are patterned, her body seems to be stiff when she hears a familiar voice again adorning the senses of her listeners.

He had no other choice, he could no longer run from Henry, he could no longer escape and had to face all his problems with him.

"It looks like you're living a very good life after you've been away from me" Henry said, opening up a conversation between the two of them.

"You're getting prettier and more mature," she concluded.

And that was the first compliment Henry made to Henrietta.

But, there was still no reply from the woman next to him.

"You must hate me so much, I'm sorry Rietta. Sorry if I hurt you so much and sorry for my bad words to you back then,"

"This is the first time I've ever apologized to anyone other than my father and mother" Henry said.

"You know, ever since my parents knew that if you left the house, they were cursing at me, even punching me in the face and stomach. Mommy never even spoke to me a word" Henry said, hoping Henrietta would respond.

Unfortunately, his efforts did not yield results. Henrietta still doesn't know all Henry's words.

"I'm sorry Rietta, I'm guilty of you" he said.

Henrietta's view is still focused. But, suddenly he stood up from his seat and walked away from Henry who was still sitting in his place with a directed look at Henrietta.

"Is that what he hates about me?" muttered.

Henrietta walked toward her parked car without looking back at all.

Henrietta wiped her tears after getting into the car.

He sent a message to someone before finally running his car at the speed of going to school for his two children.
