The Sovereign of the Heart (Bern & Renata)

Bern 63

"Yeyyy, Dad and Uncle are home. My dad and uncle are home!" justin shouted while jumping around in excitement. He who at that time only wore d*lam pants only looked like a tuyul who was ready to steal money. So adorable.

Seeing his return welcomed by the son made Bern powerless not to smile. Soon she came closer then kissed Justin's puffed cheeks that looked so cute. However, the smile instantly dimmed as he watched the blue wound on the cheek of this boy.

"Will it still hurt?" bern asked as he stared fixedly at the bruised marks on his stomach, waist, and also his son's cheeks. So hurt. It felt like he wanted to go back on his rampage after seeing those injuries. Hmmmm.

"No, Dad. His wound was treated by my mother. But it's cold" Justin replied.

"Cold?"

"Yes. It's cold like ice."

"really?"

Justin nodded his head. He then clapped his hands to see his uncles coming.

"Uncle came. Uncle's coming!"

"Little tuyul hei. Why don't you get dressed? Your stomach will be full of wind" asked Reiden nosy. He was very worried to see his nephew. Really am. It feels like kidnapping him.

"Mom and Grandma said Justin don't wear clothes just so the medicine doesn't stick, Uncle. And Grandpa said Justin's stomach won't be full of wind because Justin had taken medicine," Justin replied funnyly explaining why he didn't wear clothes.

"Isn't he? Have you met Tora yet?"

(Sorry yes gangs yesterday mother wrong enter the tiger. 😆)

"Already, Uncle."

"No fear?"

"No dong. Justin is a great guy. So Justin wasn't afraid of Tora."

"really?"

Reiden looked at Bern. He was speechless because this boy was apparently not afraid of this family's pet tiger.

"My son is even sitting on Tora's back. The beast was like there was no pride in Justin's hands" Bern said proudly stroking his son's hair.

"Wahhh, that's great. Want to play with Tora again? If you want Uncle will accompany you to play. How's it?" reiden asked her niece to play with Tora. He was really worried about this boy. Really am.

"Emm Dad, can't I play with Uncle?" justin asked expectantly. He had been running around with his grandparents until they were exhausted. So now is the chance to play with a new friend. Tora. Yeiy.

"Can kok. But you have to be careful because Justin's wounds have not dried up all. I'll be angry if Justin doesn't hear Dad's words" Bern replied.

"Good, Dad. Justin won't be naughty,"

"Yes, go play with your uncle. There."

"Let's get our Uncle playing with Tora. He's so funny."

"You're funny too" Reiden said, holding Justin's tiny hand. Behind him were his cousins who followed. Except Karl.

Bern and Karl looked at each other after another cousin left with Justin. Both of them were silent, clumsy when they wanted to start a conversation.

"When are you going to marry Renata?" karl finally started talking.

"Actually I want this moment as well, but there's no way I can do it because Renata has absolutely no memory of both of us's past" Bern replied lethargicly.

"Aren't you going to treat him?"

"No!"

"Why?"

"Because Amora used to say that if time could be turned back, she didn't want to live as Amora Shin. Amora wants to live as someone else so as not to feel the bitterness of life so torturous. And I think God granted his wish this way!"

After telling the story Bern immediately took a deep breath. Not wanting his mind back in control of anger and hatred due to remembering the bad events three years ago, Bern decided to look for Renata only. He still had to adjust to Karl's existence. So he could not talk much with his brother.

"What are you doing?"

Renata who was sitting daydreamed slightly in shock as someone suddenly spoke. Soon she turned her head then smiled slightly after finding out who the person was.

"Home home?"

"No. I'm just thinking."

"Thinking about what?"

"On Justin."

Renita's face was gloomy. Bern who saw it also felt unbearable. His hand moved pulling on Renata's shoulder then hugging her affectionately. This woman continues to be saddened by what happened to their son. This made Bern feel very hurt.

"I feel so guilty for what happened to Justin, Bern. Because of my actions, now he's been affected by it. Maybe if I had been a little more restrained, Justin would not have been born without a father and would have had to receive this kind of treatment from people. I'm stupid. Unknowingly I have destroyed my own child's happiness. I'm a useless mother, Bern. I'm stupid!" said Renata let out the regret that he had been trying to keep for himself.

"Nobody wants something like this, baby. Everything is out of control. You should know that. It is not just Justin who was born without a father. A bunch. It's just that they're not as adorable as our son, so they're not in the bully. Please don't be sad anymore. I hate to see you shed tears" Bern said, regretting that Justin was born anyway because he did.

In Bern's arms, Renata tries not to linger in the regret and pain. He wiped his tears then looked up, looking at Bern's handsome face that somehow always looked familiar.

"Have you had lunch yet?"

"Yet. You alone?"

"I didn't n*fsu eat after seeing Justin crying like that" Renata replied.

"Want me a bribe no?" ask Bern to offer. He remembered Amora's treatment while persuading her to have no appetite. The girl would definitely offer to bribe him. How sweet those memories are. Hm.

"No need. Later if I'm hungry I can take it myself."

"Where are you and Mom?"

"They were accompanying Flow in the room. There was a doctor who came here earlier,"

Bern nodded. He let go of his embrace and then went towards the kitchen. If left unchecked, until they go home Renata will definitely not eat. So he intended to take food for the two of them because it just so happened that Bern also started to get hungry after his power was slightly drained from beating up his son's bullies.

While waiting for Bern to return, Renata again daydreams about the figure of the man who had impregnated him. As far as Renata could remember, she did not see the man's appearance clearly at all. Too foggy. Even worse, Bern's face appeared. It's weird, isn't it? They have not met long.

"You're daydreaming again."

Bern again sat down beside Renata while carrying a plate of rice and drinking. He then smiled as Renata sighed.

"Don't think of anything else while you're with me. I don't like. Understood?"

"Am I obligated to obey your orders?" ask Renata while confirming a smile. This man again showed his possessiveness. And strangely Renata felt comfortable.

"Very. Because soon you will be my wife" replied Bern without hesitation. He then thrust a mouthful of rice into Renata's mouth. "Bec ....

Obediently, Renata opened her mouth. His eyes continued to pay attention to Bern's relaxed look after mentioning that he would soon become his wife. Wanting to protest, but Renata was afraid this man was angry and raging. Not protesting, but his mind became unsettled by the words. Hihh.

"Don't think too much. I'll wait for you to be ready to receive my proposal," Bern responded if Renata hesitated to speak.

"Just be surprised" said Renata.

Bern chuckles. He then put food in his mouth. Despite one spoon, Bern did not feel disgusted at all. He was happy to share a spoon like he did with Amora three years ago. Now Bern is nostalgic. Hehe.

"Justin where, Bern? Her voice had not been heard since then," Renata asked somewhat in a panic as she did not hear her son's voice.

"He was playing with his uncles. Don't fret. Our son is safe in their hands" Bern replied casually. He returned to feed Renata. "Open your mouth. You have to eat a lot to look fuller. That way your aura of beauty will become more and more radiant."

Silent. Bern felt something was wrong with his words. If Renata looks more beautiful, doesn't that mean it will make more and more rascals come? Can't be allowed. Renata. Only she can enjoy her beauty.

"What's up, Bern?" renata asked confusedly looking at the expression on Bern's face that suddenly turned sour.

"Don't be pretty. I don't like to see you in the limelight of other men. Okay?" replied Bern sulking.

"When have I ever looked so beautiful? My appearance is very simple. Far from sexy or interesting. Aye, right?"

"No. All this time you've looked so pretty with your looks. I like it, but I don't like it when other people notice you."

"Lho, what do you mean? Like, but not like. What's that supposed?"

"Anything is forbidden to look beautiful. Your clothes should not be open. Understood?"

Renata laughed seeing Bern sulking due to his own thinking. On a whim, he rubbed his chin. Instead of smiling, this man looked even more sulky. Seeing that, Renata's laughter broke. He was intrigued to see Bern behave like a child. Very amusing.
