Substitute Mother
Chapters 78. Lean On
No. Darren didn't see how Tyona came to the hospital like a zombie. There are dark circles under the eyes. Empty look, also puffy there like a person who had finished crying. He wanted to run to the woman, but Darren chose to stay in her place. He didn't want to add to the rumors of approaching Tyona in the morning like this. By the way, the gut feeling is that Tyona already knows about Jeffrey's rot.
No. gabe. If asked if Darren is happy now? Answer No. No matter how much his love for Tyona, as well as his desire to have that woman, is not comparable to having to see her hurt. Darren would much rather see Tyona's happy hue than see her friend as she is now. The morning sun turned cloudy and there was no warmth at all. The light dimmed, ironically, her own husband who snatched it away.
Just like that, Darren decided to go back to his policy. I hope he meets the pediatrician later in the day in better shape.
“Halo, Kiran? You in the morning or watch the night?”
“Ah, morning entry. Mercifully. No, I just want to ask for help”
“If you have free time, can you take Anna to lunch together? I saw him just now, he looks so fucked up. I wanted to go to him but you know for yourself what the consequences would be if I was seen early in the morning with someone else's wife”
“I'm worried about it. You're the only one I can ask for help right now because I trust you”
“Well then, thank you very much, Kiran”
Darren breathed a sigh of relief. At least from all over the Hospital, he still has Kirana, his colleague and best friend Tyona. One of the few people who are neutral and not on anyone's side will be rumors of his affair with Tyona.
At least, someone was guarding and accompanying Tyona when she could not do so.

Back at Jeanno and Arman's dinner.
After talking about the eleventh point added suddenly by Jeanno as the first party, Judith was surprised again because of a kiss that landed on her lips. End with a smile from Jeanno.
Armed with that, Judith's confidence slowly returned. With their hands draped in Jeanno's arms, the two stepped together towards the table that Arman had ordered. Coincidentally, the invitee had also been sitting there sweetly.
“Goodnight, welcome Mr and Mrs Alexander” Arman who saw the arrival of her guests, reflexes stand to say hello. Jeanno and Judith nodded at a glance before taking a seat across from Arman's chair.
Jeanno could see clearly how Arman painstakingly controlled himself not to look at Judith. And so he cleared quite hard.
“I think we both know your purpose for inviting me and my wife to dinner, Mr. Arman”
Arman smiled stiffly. “Ah yes, as we talked about on the phone, this invitation is my chance to apologize directly to you and your wife about the unpleasant incident that I did some time ago”
Jeanno glanced at Judith before returning her attention to Arman. “The work you did to my wife could be included in the abuse. I can easily take this case to court considering I've pocketed a lot of evidence”
“And for this case, I can guarantee you'll go straight to jail before you have time to bribe the judge, or drain your father's money to pay dozens of lawyers. In short, you have made trouble to the wrong person, Mr. Arman”
Arman cleared his throat awkwardly. Undeniably he was quite intimidated by how Jeanno spoke and looked at him sharply.
“I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. What happened back then was a pure misunderstanding. I know someone who just disappeared, and it just so happens that he looks a lot like your wife. My clutter shuts down my wits, thinking that your wife is the one I'm looking for
Jeanno took out a medium-sized envelope from behind her suit pocket. He took out sheet by sheet which turned out to be a photo.
“I know you must have investigated my background. I'm telling you right now, that I've known Nayara since we were in college. I loved her, and decided to marry her after we graduated. The reason I never showed it to the media, was because I liked that my personal life was closed off from the outside world. You can see what the girls look like in those pictures, right? And compare that to the woman who's right now beside me. Is it the same?”
Arman looks at the moment sheet in the form of a photo shared by Jeanno. The old Nayara, was exactly the same as the face of the woman before him now. His face paled. So it's true that the woman is.. Nayara Alexander's? Not Judith?
“I'm very disappointed, our introduction on the first day became damaged because of less unpleasant things due to your short thoughts. You even called my wife a whore? For an educated man like you isn't that very inappropriate? So I deduce, that the person you're looking for is your mistress? Jesus, Arman. I remind you that your father is a famous businessman, and your wife is also a celebrity. What if the media came to know that you had another woman, and what if the media knew you were harassing Jeanno Alexander's wife? You could kill two people here. Your father's good name, and your wife's career”
Arman rubbed his face rough. “Mr Alexander, I'm really sorry. I'm willing to do anything to make amends, just lest my father hear about this, and the media, nor get leaked to the press. I'll even kowtow to your wife's feet if you tell me so”
Jeanno smiled cynically. “My wife won't even be touched by a man like you. My request is just one, don't bother my wife. Don't ever show up in front of him or my family for any reason. If I see you breaking even a tip of mine, you'll end up in my hands, Arman Mahendera”

“Master is great! I've never seen Arman pale in fear like that. The master managed to make him lose his words! Master tau? I started laughing, I wanted to cuss with Arman”
Jeanno chuckles. Their journey home was traversed by flattery sentences from Judith who never interrupted.
“I'm not that great”
“Don't go low to skyrocket, Tuan” Judith rolled her eyeballs off guard. “Omong by the way, why does Arman look so scared of Mr?”
“Simple, because he's afraid of his father. And I know his father well. Mr. Robert honored me as the son of Thomas Alexander, the man who helped his company rise from the brink a few years ago. So if I say bad about Arman, it's very likely that Mr. Robert would trust me more than his own son”
Judith looked at Jeanno in amazement. “More is great tonight!”
“So earlier I wasn't cool?”
Judith shook her head innocently. “Not”
Jeanno's hand, which had been in the gears, stretched out to pinch Judith's cheek. He made his hand hit slowly by the woman.
“Say what do you want to eat? We only drank a little wine, so I know you must be starving. Tell me what you want to eat, I'll have a special meal for Tuan”
Jeanno hit the brakes because the traffic light turned red. Then he turned to answer Judith's question.
“You. I want to eat you”
