The Sovereign of the Heart (Bern & Renata)

Bern 64

"Is it not better to wait until Justin wakes up? Poor thing. Sleeping on my lap must make her feel uncomfortable" said Elea felt heavy as her granddaughter was about to be brought home. His heart felt unwilling, but he did not dare to forbid.

"It's been a very late afternoon, Auntie. I'm afraid Dad and Mom are looking for us because they haven't come home from the store yet" Renata replied rather heartlessly at Bern's mother's words. He knew this woman would not let Justin be brought home. But how else. This house is not his home. Renata.

"And you can call them by phone,"

"It can, but still me and Justin have to go home. You and I can cry if you don't see Justin."

"Oh so. It's okay if you have to go home. But come here again sometime huh. The house has been crowded since Justin arrived. Aye, sweetie?"

Gabrielle nodded. His hands moved to tidy the hair of the grandson who was sleeping in his mother's arms. So sweet.

"This house has felt like home since your arrival. Stop by here often if you have time" Gabrielle said, trying to refrain from preventing Renata from leaving.

"Good, Uncle. Later if there is free time we will definitely come back here again" said Renata. "Then we go home. Good bye."

Elea and Gabrielle nodded their heads. They keep watching Bern who attentively helps Renata get into the car and puts the seatbelt on his body.

"Dad, Mother. I go home first. Please say hello to Flow. Tell him if you want to come to the apartment then just come. Don't worry," said Bern to his father and mother.

"Bern, later do not take Justin and Renata to this house for long. Mom still wants to be with them. I love Justin so much" said Elea half whining. Let it. His conscience can't be lied to anymore.

"Yes, Mommy. I promise I'll invite them to come here often. Or if not Dad and Mom just come to Renata's flower shop. Justin was there every time he came home from school."

"really?"

"Yes. Later I will send the address of the Renata florist to Flow's phone. You can come anytime and play with Justin as much."

"alright. I promise I'll visit Justin there tomorrow."

"Yes, then I'll go first. Poor Justin. She's afraid she's fussing over fatigue playing and not sleeping properly."

"Be careful, yeah,"

Bern nodded. He hurriedly got into the car and left his parents' house. While driving, Bern occasionally turned his head to the side watching Justin who was sleeping.

"Why are you staring at Justin like that, Bern?" ask Renata in surprise.

"Our son is so handsome and also funny. Father and Mother until it feels hard to part with him," replied Bern.

"Justin is very cute and handsome. That's why Mom and Dad can't be away from her. Now I'm not stopping asking when we're going home. I miss my grandchildren, said Mother."

Bern and Renata looked at each other and smiled. If Renata had known that Bern was Justin's real father, he would not have been confused anymore. Unfortunately he doesn't know and Bern doesn't intend to tell him either. Be he can only wonder inside just observe.

"Yes, Renata. I don't think Justin goes to school tomorrow. I'm afraid his wound won't heal if he's doing too much. It's okay, right?" bern asked suddenly worried about Justin.

"Bern, you don't know just how much Justin loves his school. When sick, sometimes he still whines forcing to still go to school. So you don't expect much that Justin will obey and obey to rest at home. I guarantee that he won't," Renata replied subtly rejecting Bern's wish of not allowing his son to go to school just yet. This man did not know that Justin would whine all day if he was forbidden to go to school for no apparent reason.

"But her body is not doing well, Renata. I'm worried she's doing nothing!"

"Yes I know. But if his son wants to still go to school how?"

"Yes be persuaded."

"I've been taking care of Justin for three years. Still doubt my words too?"

Bern took a breath. It turned out that his son was stubborn as well huh. Hmmmm.

"Don't get mad. I will try to persuade him to rest at home. Justin's a kid, Bern. Too much restraint is not good for his mental health," Renata said patiently advising Bern not to over-restrain Justin. "Let Justin do what he loves. We as parents are supportive. You understand what I'm saying, don't you?"

"Yes I understand,"

"So?"

"Tomorrow morning when Justin wakes up call me. Determine tomorrow whether he can go to school or not!"

"It's for the good of our son, baby. Please understand. Yea?"

Blusshhhh

A red tinge appeared on Renata's cheek as Bern again called him dear. Yes shame, yes happy. It felt really mixed up that every one of these men called him that name.

"You're beautiful when you're so shy!" praise Bern while making a smile. His gaze was indeed straight forward, but almost every two seconds he always glanced sideways. Next to her was an incredibly beautiful angel. Bern could have turned away for too long.

"Ck, what are you talking about. Just focus on driving. Don't be weird," said Renata increasingly embarrassed.

"Here I'm driving too,"

"But you keep glancing to the side."

"You know how else. Beside me was a beautiful angel. It's only natural that I don't stop glancing at you."

"Bern, already. Don't keep bragging. Watch your way!"

"Ready, baby!"

Bern's words successfully made Renata become his own misdeed. They felt like a couple who were flirting with each other. Too bad they are not officially married. If it had been, Bern would have tempted Renata even crazier. Haha.

"Bern, Aunt Elea said that since three years ago, you've not interfered with Group Ma. After returning home to this country aren't you interested in rejoining the company?" renata asked as he recalled his conversation with his mother Bern.

"I'm already tied to work with someone else, Ren. And that other person was Cio. My cousin," Bern replied honestly.

"Why is that? Why did you choose to work with Cio instead of joining your family's company?"

"Because Cio has helped me a lot. So I can't just take my hands off. He can be possessed by a demon if I get back to the company."

Renata rounded his lips without understanding Bern's words. Too bad. Group Ma is so big.

"Don't be afraid. Even though I don't work for Group Ma, I can guarantee that you and Justin will never lack. I still have a lot of shares in some companies that have been managed by Andreas. So my status is still a handsome tycoon who is rich" Bern joked.

"That's narcissistic. If Justin heard it he would have followed your words just now. Haihh this is you," Renata protested while shaking her head.

"Like father, like son."

The conversation got warmer on the way home. While Justin, the boy was not at all bothered. Justin slept so soundly in his arms without having to feel pain like that.

"Who?" bern asked immediately jealous when Renata's phone rang.

"Mom's Message. Just a moment," replied Renata. Soon he read the message and then replied to it.

"Yes, Mommy. We will be home soon. Mother take a shower first. Justin is sleeping now."

Send.

"What's he saying?"

"Mom asked where Justin and I were now. Mom asked us to come home soon because she missed Justin so much."

"Are you just like that?"

"Oh my goodness, Bern. You jealous of my mother?"

"I'm jealous of everyone who catches your attention. Including our families. I want you to just focus on me and on Justin. Not with anyone else. Point!"

Anaya's mouth gaped wide at Bern's slightly unreasonable speech. It was a shock that she heard of his wish that forbade her from being close to others. Gosh darn.

The more here Bern's level of possessiveness the crazier it is. Is this normal or not?
