The Sovereign of the Heart (Bern & Renata)

Chapter 37

Renata continued to watch Bern who was accompanying Justin playing the game. In his hand were two drinks belonging to two different men of this age, while in the other hand there was a cellphone, wallet, and also Bern's car keys. I don't know what it means for this guy to hand all those things over to him. And strangely Renata could not resist at all. He was obedient, as if something was controlling his body and mind.

Why would I obey this to Bern, huh? What happened to my body and mind? Why do I feel like something is forcing me to obey him? How strange.

"Dad, let's destroy that bike quickly. We can't lose!" justin with his spirit. He clenched his hands tightly so afraid that his father would lose.

"Ready, little boss. Take it easy, today we will be the king in all games. You ready?" sahut Bern with his frenzy. Bern really did not care about his image in public. He's bodo time. The important thing is to be able to spend time with his son, as well as Renata. Yes, even though this woman is just a spectator.

"Ready Dad, ready. Yeiyyy! We're gonna be the king of the game today!"

The excitement that was happening managed to grab the attention of some people. Renata, who realized that, immediately asked Bern and Justin not to be too strong to shout. He was afraid that the attitude of these two men was interfering with the comfort of others. Because after all this time zone is a public place, not private.

"Don't worry, Ren. None of them would dare to mess with us. You and Justin are safe with me" Bern said, stroking Renata's hand. Her lips then revealed a thin smile, feeling pleased at the attention this woman was trying to give.

"It's not so, Bern. This place does not belong to our family, so as much as possible we should not disturb the comfort of others. Whisper?" sahut Renata tries to be ordinary in the face of Bern's attitude.

Honestly, at this time Renata's heart is beating strongly. He was nervous, but happy. Weird, right? I don't know. This feeling is too confusing. Renata's mind and body seem forced to remember things, but she doesn't know what.

"Then would you allow me and Justin to scream at will if this place were ours?"

"K-us?"

"Our yes. You, me, Justin. Nice, right?"

Bern's attention was distracted when Justin whined to ask him to continue the game. Before further pleasing his son, Bern's outstretched hand rubbed the top of Renata's head. Only later did he fulfill Justin's obsessive desire to be the king of games. Hahaha, his son is really very funny. It made Bern even more dear to him.

"Mother, take a look. Dad was great playing this game. When Justin grows up, he just wants to be like Dad. Smart and have a lot of money. Aye, Dad?" justin said with his cheer proud of his father.

"Obviously yes, dear. Whose father he was" said Bern with pleasure.

"Justin Goh,"

Bern suddenly got angry when Justin mentioned his grandfather's clan. He who was busy playing the game suddenly so no longer focus on the game. Bern emotion. He didn't accept Justin not using his surname.

Not Justin Goh, but Justin Ma, his son Bern Wufien Ma. I don't accept this. No take!!!!

Seeing the game played by his father experiencing the game over made Justin immediately cry hysterically and fell sitting on the floor. This boy was very disappointed because his father had promised that they would be the king of the game today.

"Huaaaaa, Bad father. Why the game lost. Justin wants to be king, Dad. Justin wants to be the king of the game" Justin cried loudly.

"Darling, don't cry anymore. Dad might be tired, or his time to play is up. Justin saw that Dad looked sad too. So don't cry anymore huh," persuaded Renata patiently. He then lifted Justin into a sling, watching closely the change in expression on Bern's face. Realizing that something was wrong, Renata gently stroked her shoulder. "Bern, I don't know what makes you suddenly like this. But you do realize that your attitude has disappointed Justin. Look, she's crying now. Don't you feel sorry, hm?"

"Justin's my son. He should have used the Ma surname, not Goh. He's my son, Renata," said Bern as if unconscious. He looked up, but his eyes were empty. "Justin is my son with Amora. He could use someone else's clan. It must be my family, and it's Ma. You understand that?"

This deep sense of loss that Bern bears to make it unable to distinguish where his biological son and where the son of others. It's so sorry for him.

After cradling for a while, Renata finally decides to allow Bern to change Justin's last name. Just to calm down, not really get replaced.

"If you find it hard to accept the Goh clan behind Justin's name, you can really replace it with your family surname. That's if you don't mind."

Bern's gaze gradually returned to how it was once Renata allowed him to pin his family surname behind Justin's. Immediately Bern stood up then took Justin from Renata's sling.

"Justin, I'm sorry. Dad accidentally lost. Please don't be mad at me. Pleaseee" said Bern, trying to persuade his son to forgive. He felt guilty for making this boy cry.

"Hiksss, Justin's not mad, Dad. Justin just cried." Justin replied. He then laid his head on his father's shoulder, spilling all the disappointments there. "Dad said today we would be the king of the game, but it failed because Dad lost. That's why Justin is crying."

"Yes, I know you're wrong. I'm really sorry about Justin. Emmm as an apology how about now we go to the ice cream shop only. Later there Justin is free to buy what taste. Won't you?"

Justin's cries stopped as soon as Bern mentioned the word ice cream. Renata who saw that could only resign. He then shook his head as these two men both looked at him.

"You know how else. You already mentioned the name of that sacred food. So inevitably we have to buy him ice cream. If we don't, your son can cry all night and can only be persuaded by that food. You are, yes" said Renata while patting Bern's arm softly.

"It's okay, Ren. It's the first time I've treated Justin to ice cream" Bern said, winking.

"Don't do it too often. I'm afraid Justin has a stomachache if he eats too much of that sweet stuff."

"Ready, Justin's mom. I won't promise to buy that food often."

Renata and Justin laughed funnyly at Bern's behavior. After that the three of them came out of the time zone and walked in search of an ice cream shop.

A heartwarming sight where a man was holding his son while hugging his wife's shoulder. Very soothing. Maybe for those who do not know who they are, people will definitely think that Renata and Justin are Bern's wife and child. Hm.

"Dad, Justin will go home to Daddy's house, yes" whined Justin who again wanted to stay at his father's house.

"Darling, we stayed overnight yesterday. The present day wants to stay again. Poor Dad," said Renata slowly reprimanding her son.

"But Justin wants to stay there, Mom,"

"When, huh?"

"No way,"

"Justin, Mommy ....

"Just calm down, Justin. Starting tonight, you and I will be staying with Dad. Okay?"

Bern. "You want to stay with me?"

"Bern, don't be like this. There is nothing between us. If we stay home, people will think

bad about us. Please don't poison Justin's mind with things like this. Okay?"

There's no answer. Bern just kept quiet not responding to Renata's refusal. His resolve is round. As soon as possible he will bring Justin and Renata to live with him. That's certain.
