20 — Desire to Bring Him Home

Petra remained silent and understood what had happened after Mr. Clayton said of the extreme temperament of Vernon. The middle-aged man recounted Vernon's childhood as different from his other friends. When all children play with friends their age. Vernon was required to study at home.

Mr. Clayton also educated Vernon hard. So that when he grows up, Vernon knows how difficult it is to face the outside world.

But when Mr. Clayton realized that his upbringing was too harsh, he removed some of the bans he had set for Vernon.

But.late. Mr. Clayton had no idea that Vernon had been depressed all this time. His son became irritable just because of a small thing. Teen Vernon often damages and throws things if not obeyed his will.

At school, Vernon often gets emotional and fights with friends who provoke his anger.

Until one day Mr. Clayton took Vernon to therapy. Although not entirely successful, Vernon is better than ever.

The boy became a quiet child and could control his temperament. Until finally, Vernon never showed signs - signs of a meaningful temperament. Maybe only occasionally because it is always locked in the room and only allowed to play around the house.

Mr. Clayton was very disappointed in himself. He educated Vernon the hard way regardless of the small rebellion that Vernon had committed. Mr. Clayton always chose something for Vernon without wanting to hear what Vernon wanted. Mr. Clayton also arranged for Vernon's needs without asking his son for an opinion.

And now he knows the impact of his upbringing will carry over until Vernon grows up. Mr. Clayton only hoped that if Vernon married a good girl, he would change because of his wife.

But, no. Vernon had his wife run away.

Mr. Clayton widened his eyes and sat up straight when he thought of something.

If Kezia had run away just because of the news of the affair, it might have made little sense. But, maybe Vernon always showed his temperament in front of Kezia? thought Mr. Clayton's.

If true, this problem will become more complicated. Mr. Clayton was so scared that Mr. Rivijaya knew. Worst of all, Vernon divorced Kezia.

Or become a fugitive ViZ5 for injuring Riwijaya's favorite son.

Mr. Clayton had to make sure of himself. He had to ask Vernon after coming home later.

Riwijaya Residence

Kezia shut herself in her room and has been sleeping with her son since returning home two days ago. Kezia just came out to eat.

Ever since Vernon was shot in front of Kezia's house, she's been thinking about Vernon's situation. Mr. Riwijaya did not allow Kezia to leave the house. On the grounds that his current existence is in danger.

It's possible that the enemy was after them thinking that they were allies of the targeted person.

Kezia has not yet slept choosing to observe the peaceful face of her child while sleeping.

Excelo often cries because he is not used to people he has never met. Kezia also does not know why his son likes to cry when in this house. They usually rebel and rarely cry.

"Don't be naughty, baby. Don't make me worry." Kezia gently stroked Excelo's fine hair.

Kezia was still thinking about Vernon. He didn't know that the man would come to protect him. What Kezia had always thought, Vernon would never want to trouble himself just because of Kezia.

He immediately remembered the torment Vernon gave even though it was not Kezia who made a mistake.

What changes Vernon due to the existence of Excelo? Did that guy want Kezia back because of Excelo?

Although Kezia loved Vernon very much, he would not willingly take Vernon to his son.

Kezia will not return before everything changes including Vernon's nature.

Kezia could've cried because of Vernon. But he can't return to Vernon's house before the man makes Kezia believe and want to change his nature.

Week pass...

Vernon has gone home and is in therapy. The man looked like a living corpse. His face was pale and always flat. After the therapy, Vernon went home with Mr. Clayton's.

Mr. Clayton saw Vernon's state from the windshield. His son is like a man without a purpose in life.

"When did Kezia come back to my house? She's my wife, she's supposed to be in my house" Vernon said after a long silence.

Mr. Clayton sighed at Vernon's question. Why was the child still unaware of his actions?

Mr. Clayton knew all the truth Vernon had been hiding. It is alleged that Mr. Clayton was right. Vernon did a bad thing that Mr. never did. Clayton think.

"You're not conscious yet? Your wife won't come back because of your own actions." replied Mr. Clayton's.

Vernon thinned his lips. Mr.'s words. Clayton was right. "I want to see him for a minute. After that I won't bother him anymore" Vernon said.

Mr. Clayton shook his head strongly, "No. Riwijaya won't let us meet Kezia." Mr. Clayton tried to get Vernon to shut up. Vernon is very stubborn.

Vernon kept silent and sighed many times. He just wants to see Kezia. There's no way Vernon hurt Kezia after all this. Never had such a thought.

Vernon just wants to see the state of Kezia and his son. Vernon's hands are already itching to hold his baby. Vernon also missed his wife who had just returned after two years away from home.

It felt like seeing Kezia and saying an apology over and over again. Apologizing was the thing Vernon avoided the most. But when dealing with Kezia his mouth always moves to say sorry.

If it wasn't enough to make up for Vernon's mistake, Kezia could have killed Vernon with a gun or dagger. As long as Kezia knew, Vernon could not live if Kezia continued to avoid him and one day gave him a divorce letter.

Vernon wouldn't know how to live without Kezia. He was very fond of his stupidity because he could not open his eyes wide since long ago.

Just because the motive for revenge made him the saddest person. The most foolish man destroys his own happiness.
