The Love of Stepchildren

Chapter 24

Axel returned from college, his face looking shabby and lacking in passion. Nia approached her employer's son to offer her drinks and snacks, but Axel was not interested in the offer and ordered Nia to leave.

Nia returned to the kitchen, there was a mang Ujang was busy stirring a cup of coffee. He was a security guard who always got night watch.

"Neng, why are you grumbling so indistinctly?" Mang Ujang asked as he watched Nia's lips rise and fall without a sound.

"That's den Axel, offered the same food drinks both good and even angry," said Nia.

"Don't get close to den Axel, he's thinking a lot,"

"What thoughts?"

"Do you not see Sosmed? The news of his affair with Non Dinda was widespread there,"

"Ah, jeez. Who has been spreading the news?"

"Whatever you know, there may be people who don't like them both,"

"If it is discovered that Mr. Agus can be serious, we will all also be sprayed,"

"Yes, how else? We're just low-level employees."

The conversation between the two workers was overheard by Dinda who accidentally eavesdropped from behind the kitchen door. It turned out that Dinda's guess was correct, the widespread news about the initials D and A was her and Axel.

Dinda's heart was about to be dislodged instantly, she felt she had no face left to get out of the house anymore. Let alone the house, out of the room he felt very embarrassed. What's more, the workers in the house are silent and like to talk about their forbidden relationship with Axel in the back.

Does Axel know about this? Dinda had to invite Axel to talk about the continuation of their relationship.

Dinda searched for Axel in every corner of the house, until she finally found the man on the balcony smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages. Obviously Axel is depressed, but Dinda doesn't know what she's depressed about.

"Axel," call Dinda. The man looked towards the source of the voice.

"Dear, what's wrong?" Axel threw a small smile at her.

"Did you know that the news about us both went viral on social media?"

"Yes, I know,"

"Who's the newsman?"

"Jesica. I've given him a fine punishment,"

"What should we do now?"

"We just enjoy everything, don't get too dizzy,"

"We're facing it together."

After the forbidden relationship, Axel fell asleep in Dinda's room. He was reluctant to move to his own room because he felt sorry if he had to leave his life roll.

The sound of the car suddenly sounded so real in Dinda's ears. It was like a car that was used by Agus, in fact the man returned from out of town.

"Axel, quickly move rooms. Your father came home" said Dinda, shaking Axel's body. Axel opened his eyes, with a heavy axel heart having to move to the next room.

In the heart Axel was upset, because his father returned in a short time. Usually, if he goes out of town, he will be long. It can be a month, two months or months. But this time the old man came home early.

"Tock... Geck... Geck..."

Agus knocked on the door, Dinda immediately opened it and pretended to be surprised.

"Well, are you home?" greet Dinda friendly.

"Yes, I came home early because I missed you" said Agus.

Agus noticed his bed was a little messy. Blankets on the floor, pillows are not neatly arranged. What the hell just happened?

Agus turned his gaze to Dinda the wife, his hair looking limp and random chatter. What is the end of this Dinda doing strenuous activities and tell her to sleep? Agus guessed inwardly.

At lunchtime, families gather and eat together. Agus thrust by his son, a box containing an expensive watch.

"Thank you" Axel said with a flat face.

Axel is upset that his father is fast back, the old man regains control of the woman he loves half-heartedly.

Throughout the meal, Agus continued to tease Dinda with the word sweet and friendly. Until making Dinda wrong and blushing. Despite being jealous, there was nothing Axel could do but shut up.

Undaunted by the heart-wrenching sight, Axel finished his meal and went to confine himself in the room.

In the room, Axel went berserk. He was not willing if Dinda was seduced by Agus, although it was a common thing done by a legitimate married couple. Moreover, the two had not met for a long time.

Inwardly, Axel was eager to make Agus and Dinda part ways. But he did not know what way he could use to separate the husband and wife.

"Dinda, forever you can only be mine. I'll figure out a way to snatch you from my own father!" Axel grumbled as he clenched both of his palms.

Seriate...
