Not Forbidden Love

17. Mike's Desire

"Daddy heard your cooperation with the Willson Group company over the construction of a hotel in Italy went well" Felix sipped his black coffee.

"Yes Dad. One more month of construction is about to begin" Darren stroked Feli's hair, which had his head resting on Darren's lap.

"Does that mean you're going to Italy often?" There was anxiety in Mika's tone of voice.

Darren nodded his head looking at his Mommy and smiled warmly.

"Only occasionally to monitor Mom. You don't have to worry" Darren calms Mommy down. He knew what was on Mika's mind after 24 years he had never set foot in her homeland. Yes, when Ashley Mommy escaped from Daddy Felix, Italy was the place chosen by her Mommy.

"Right what your son said, you don't have to worry. We men are not like women who will cry immediately after remembering a sweet and bitter memory" Felix pulled his wife into his arms while calming down.

"You want me to remind you Dad how you roared when Uncle Raymond and Uncle Roland said that Feli was the result of the tadpole you planted in Mommy's place" Derren laughed mockingly but his hand did not stop stroking the hair of Feli who was busy playing his phone and spontaneously stopped when he heard Darren's speech. Likewise with Mike who had previously played games on his phone.

"Seriously?" Mike stared in disbelief at his Daddy. All this time he considers his Daddy is a person who always stay cool. He knew his Daddy really loved his Mommy but he really did not expect there to be such a embarrassing moment where his Daddy roared hysterically.

"You're deliberately trying to humiliate your Daddy, this is Son?" Felix glared in annoyance at his eldest son.

"Why should you be ashamed. That's proof of how much you love Mommy and me Dad. I would also one day want to see a man who cries because of me, like where Daddy cries when you are united in the sacred bond of marriage. Ouh I'm really very proud of you at that time where usually most brides are crying but at your wedding I see otherwise, you cry about Dad" said Feli sparkling.

"Sometimes you're such a bitch, baby, but at the same time you're always able to please Daddy" Felix glanced at his daughter, who was still casually laying her head on Darren's thigh.

Darren stopped his hand that was stroking Feli's hair. What does it mean Feli is giving her the code. He wants Darren to cry so that Feli is sure that he really loves Feli.

Feli looked at Darren as he frowned. Darren smiled as he raised his eyebrows.

"Why did you stop your hand?" feli protest. Darren chuckled then moved his hand back to stroke the girl's head.

"How's your company doing in Florida? Is everything okay?" Felix is back in the family business.

"Our company is Dad" Darren straightened out and Felix chuckled

"Everything is fine, there's nothing to worry about" Darren said.

"Your Grandma didn't give you the wrong company. You've developed it so rapidly. I'm proud of you" Felix said sincerely. His late Mommy Kelly had indeed bequeathed his Hilton Company to Darren before he breathed his last. Hilton Company is also the meeting place of Mika and Felix after a 4-year separation. That's why Darren worked so hard to revive the company. The place that bears witness to Mommy and her Daddy reuniting.

"Daddy can give you the McKenzie Group completely?"

"I hope Daddy's not serious?" Darren chimed

"You know Daddy never messes around with Daddy"

"C'mon Dad you're too young to retire" Darren looks for an excuse.

"Now you've just said I'm young" said Felix

"Daddy wants to retire early. Didn't you just advise Daddy to go on vacation with Mommy often" Felix returned Darren's remarks earlier.

"It doesn't mean you have to retire Dad"

"Your mom always babbles and says stocks and documents are more interesting than her aging self" Felix looked at his wife who was also staring at him

"In fact it is like that. You rarely share your time with me and you also rarely pay attention to me" Mika snorted in self-defense.

"You see, how sweet your Mommy is when you're sulking." Felix swiped his nose into his wife's nose

Felix's lewd and it made Feli roll his eyes panted. Mike giggled amusedly. Somehow he really likes the sweetness of his Daddy when teasing his Mommy. Mika could only shake her head at the bawl of her husband who did not know the place.

"Mom..I'm sorry, but I can't seem to accept that responsibility anymore" Darren ignored Daddy's acute indecision. Regretfully he looked at his parents.

"I'm sure you don't want to see me working too hard. As Daddy saw the company in Florida was opening two subsidiaries, and it was pretty draining on my energy and my mind. It's not better the company here is given to Mike. Mike deserved Daddy better" He very carefully expressed his wish. Darren knew enough that it was impossible for him to lead McKenzie's company. He realized he was not Felix's son. Mike is more worthy. McKenzie's blood doesn't flow in her blood. He doesn't want to look greedy. He has been brought up in this family with love and affection that need not be doubted. But still he must know his position. He does not want to forget himself. Hilton Company was also received with a heavy heart because it was Grandma Kelly's last request.

Felix, Mika and Mike looked at Darren with gazes of various expressions. Others with Feli who do not understand anything about the company so can only shut up and listen.

"What do you mean Darren? You and Mike are both worthy. Later you two will lead it" Mika looks disappointed.

"Mom forgive me" Lirih Darren. He knew his words sounded very ambiguous.

"But I'm sorry Darren, I'm really not interested in this family business" Mike chimed in. Now all eyes are on him.

"What else do you mean, son of a bitch?" hiss Felix

"Dad.I'm still too small to take care of your company" Mike replied lightly

"You think Daddy's stupid to give you the company now. Won't you be finishing your high school soon. So prepare yourself"

"I'm really not interested in your company" Mike interrupted Felix's remarks

"Dear not to force Mike. Let's hear what he wants?" Mika stroked Felix's arm soothingly

"Say what do you want?" Felix looks serious. Mike straightened his body. Put down the phone that he was holding earlier.

"I want to be a Doctor" short solid and clear.

All were silent no exception Feli who had been indifferent to hearing the small debate of his family. He took his eyes off his phone. Mike's answer surprised them. He did not expect his sister who likes to judge him was choosing the serious profession. The white-coated profession.

"Cancer specialist"

And those three sentences succeeded in making all of her stunned. Feli closed his mouth with both hands so surprised.

"I want Feli to heal completely" and it's a success making clear crystals fall out of Feli's brown eyes and her Mika Mommy.

Feli moved out of his place and approached Mike. He immediately hugged his sister. He really could not believe that nosy little sister actually cared about him.

"Mike...Your brother is healed. It's healed completely. There was nothing to worry about anymore" Feli let go of his embrace and stared fixedly at his sister.

Mike smiled, then wiped the tears that flowed on Feli's pretty face.

"I still often hear you grimacing in pain at midnight" Mike clasped Feli's hand tightly.

Feli shook his head. He stood up immediately. Then stomped his feet. Even he jumped up.

"You see.I'm fine" he said.

Darren petrified as soon as he heard Mike's wish, his eyes focused on Feli's right foot. Guilt filled the depths of his heart. His heart ached when he remembered the incident. It was like a nightmare for his family.
