Substitute Mother
Chapters 167. Life is Still Going On
One year later
Mark and Hannah's first child was seven months old. The adorable toddler inherited her mother's thick and brown hair, her sharp netra and her father's handsome countenance, and her full lips. Anyone who sees it will fall in love. Hazel Joen Sebastian, easily occupies the highest throne in Sebastian's family. Even at the age of not even a year, the opa has given him a luxury apartment unit. Hannah was unceasingly grateful that her little son had grown up in a whole family and loved each other like Mark's.
Anyone who knew Alexander's blood would certainly not dare to underestimate him. Evidently with the union of the father and son pair, the success achieved was not kidding. Putting a pair of father and son Alexander it became the top entrepreneur version of various sources. Jeanno, who lived in Japan for a year, proved his intelligence by making his father's branch grow rapidly. Far from before. Thomas Alexander is certainly proud, has beautiful sons and grandchildren, as well as expanding power. He is in the success that many people dream of.
Arman was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Every aspect of his life was destroyed. Work and marriage. Arman and his family did not necessarily fall into poverty, just a big loss experienced, making Mahendera had to save money. She has been officially divorced from Paula Winona three months since her sentence dropped. Ironically, it was heard that the woman had married secretly with a coal businessman from the island of Borneo. Leaving Arman in a deep slump. He was devastated, still not expecting what he had to disappear in this fast period of time.
What about Judith?
Oh, of course it's not easy for that woman to rearrange her heart after being completely abandoned by Jeanno and Aera. At least almost every day Micah catches his superiors weeping silently. When asked why, Judith simply said she was harboring longing. Indeed, Judith did not explicitly say who, but Micah could guess that the longing was reserved for his boss who was already in the bamboo curtain.
Regarding his relationship with Owen, Judith still could not open her heart. The young man still did not give up, especially after Judith explained that the daughter she meant was her late brother's son, not her own son. There Owen made sure that Judith was still alone, and from there his fighting soul was repeatedly smoldering. So much to have Judith.
“Kak, this is a drop-off from Brother Owen while brother is in toilet”
Micah handed him a box containing lunch and dinner. Laced with happy-eating notes with cute emoticons. Judith then smiled faintly, there was a scream of guilt every time she received Owen's good treatment.
“Sister, can I talk to you about something?”
Judith lifted her face. “Ya, sure. What's up, Micah?”
“Eum..Previous I apologize if I was presumptuous. But how does Judith feel about Brother Owen? He still hasn't given up until now”
It was nothing new for Judith and Micah to confide in each other. Not everything is told, but about Owen.. Judith chose to share it with Micah.
“Entai, Micah. I honestly feel guilty not being able to return her feelings. But the truth is I haven't been able to open my heart. I still love others”
“How about that person?”
Forehead Judith shriveled. “Ya?”
“Men that brother Judith meant. Did he return your love? Sis, waiting is not wrong, but if our waiting is in vain, and makes people who love us go, isn't it much worse?”
Judith throws her gaze towards the hand-written note by Owen.
“So Owen I see good, handsome, smart, and funny. I'm sure he'll take care of brother wholeheartedly. It is evil to accept a declaration of love while the heart still loves another man. But sis, at least. accept her date of goods once or twice. Perhaps slowly your heart began to be touched. Who knows, right?”
Micah got up from his seat as several middle-aged mothers entered the store. He greeted her with a friendly smile. Ignoring the pensive Judith thinking about the words of her employees just now.
When will he wait for Jeanno? After all last met, the man said goodbye, right? There was no certainty that Jeanno promised in their relationship. They are just two souls that destiny meets through Nayara aka Alana. Two people who are lost, meet at the wrong time. Which is not a joke. One pulled away, choosing a quiet life in his escape. Meanwhile, busy on his ambition to conquer the business world.
Both Jeanno and Judith, still remain hard on their ego of popular opinion of people, that love should not have.
The presence of Owen, like a fresh breeze for women like Judith. All his life he only knew the basket-eyed man who looked hungry at his body. Hoping to mark every inch of his skin with passion. Jeanno, who he thought was different, hurt him even worse. Mark is the first man he thinks is sincere, but certainly different when compared to Owen. Because Mark was her best friend's husband, while Owen was clearly the man who put his heart to her.
All this time Owen treated him amazingly well. Sending him food day and night.
“Can you stop sending me food? I don't feel good if I continue to trouble you, Owen”
*
“I don't feel bothered. Besides, you're always busy at lunch and dinner. Remember the last time you snuggled under the cashier's desk because your ulcer was relapsing? I don't want it to happen again. After all it is not troublesome at all, kok”
*
So Owen answered when Judith asked him to stop. Unable to fend off, Judith chose to accept the man's kindness. Not infrequently also Judith reciprocated by sending a favorite pastry of Owen's mother. Which of course was greeted with an unusually warm by the couple's mother and child.
Micah was right, wasting a man as good as Owen would definitely be detrimental to him. Judith has lost when she loved. But that doesn't mean loving is a bad thing. Rejection repeatedly, presumably will make Owen tired of struggling. If one day Owen chooses to leave, will Judith regret her decision?
Living in regret was a bitter pill he refused to take back. Through his days in a pit of irreparable regret, Judith did not want to taste it again. Her biggest regret was being a night woman. No need to add anything else.
“Should I start learning to open my heart.?” mumbled wailing. If so, then the first thing Judith says is about her dark past. If Owen did not agree and chose to leave, Judith would accept with ease. If the man stays, Judith will also learn to open her heart.
The cell phone was lying next to the cash register. “Hei, Owen? Later tonight.. Do you have time?”
