Two Husbands/New Life

The Part 19

"Daddy.." call Anin hesitate to sit a little far from Jo who is busy with her work laptop sitting on the sofa of the family room.

"Yes, princess Daddy. Come here!" Jo looked up for a moment to hear the voice of the princess.

Anin smiled happily to see her Daddy was already acting like he usually does to her. Anin sat on the sofa near Jo where she sat.

"That's..." Anin pointed at the front door. Jo followed Anin's index direction.

"What's wrong?" jo asked frowning because there was nothing in the place Anin pointed at.

"Papa's waiting for Daddy in the gazebo to talk to Daddy. What's... Daddy ready?" anin asked still somewhat timidly, her daddy refused.

"Papa Anin?" Anin nodded enthusiastically.

"Why don't you go inside?" jo shut his laptop and put it to his front desk.

"Papa wants to talk to Daddy there" Anin replied. Jo looked at Anin for a moment.

"Okay." replied Jo smiling. "Now it's night, go into the room and go to sleep! Tomorrow we have to leave in the morning." said Jo staring softly at Anin.

"Okay Daddy." Anin replied smilingly.

Jo rubbed the head of Anin for a while which just widened Anin's smile.

Upon seeing Anin enter her room, Jo stood up, tidying up her slightly disheveled clothes due to sitting too long.

"What do you want now, let's see now?" guan Jo displayed his flat and cold face.

"You want to talk to me?" jo asks when he sees Ken standing behind him in the gazebo next to the resort.

Ken turned to look at Jo who was standing not far from his place.

"Good night, sorry to interrupt your time." Ken said staring at Jo felt bad, because Jo displayed her face cold and flat as before while still being her boss.

"Just go!" tell Jo with his arrogance. The debate with Bram was about Ken suddenly came to his mind because so hated Jo to Ken.

"Ah, I'm sorry about what happened this afternoon. It's not my intention to make you misunderstand." Obviously Ken feels guilty, he looks clumsy in front of Jo, his former superior.

"Misunderstand me?"

"Ah, yes. Karin.." Jo's eyeballing makes Ken's guts squint when calling his ex-wife. " I mean Anin's mom won't let me in because her husband isn't there. So he didn't tell me to wait for Anin here. So, I was..."

"Enough!" cut Jo down because she won't remember that anymore.

Remembering that made him feel guilty for being rude to his beloved wife. And Jo was very sorry about that. He cursed himself for his harsh treatment like a demon possessed man. And Jo hates it like.

"Eh, I just want to explain."

"My wife and daughter, um. I mean Anin explained everything. Did you just call me to talk about this?"

"Say!"

"Say wants to take care of Anin." Jo's eyes widened staring at Ken's puffiness.

"Huh, after all this time and have grown up, you just want to take care of her. Aren't you wrong?" sarcasm Jo.

"Although it's too late I don't want to regret it." replied Ken confidently.

"You should have known. Children need complete parents when they are young for their growth. Then where were you all that time." Ken Pias's face heard Jo's utterance. "And for Anin's age now, she needs attention and understanding not affection anymore." Jo stared at Ken from underfoot to over his head intensely. "And I'm not sure you can give it all away, considering you've failed twice in building a household. And I'm also not sure your wife who can now love your real daughter sincerely." Jo said sharply and coldly looking at Ken.

"But I still won't give up trying to take care of Anin."

"Huh, trying. You think your daughter's a test. Remember that! Me! Although I am not Anin's real father, I have proven that I can love my children equally. And no complaints from them. And for Anin, aren't you giving my wife full custody?" jo said he almost vented his emotions.

"After the incident, I thought..."

"Hey, what do you mean that happened? That incident was an accident. And Anin was also saved just in time. What do you mean by that, you're gonna blame my wife for not being able to take care of a child and you're gonna change to take care of her like that?" jo Sarkas said pointing at Ken's chest, which involuntarily retreated a few steps.

"Don't try to curb Anin from being with me!" replied Ken who also seemed to be starting to get emotional.

"Hey, reining? Forbid? What do you mean by those words? Who forbade you to see Anin? Who wouldn't let you be with him? If we really ban and restrain Anin, now that you're not here, my wife won't tell you if she doesn't respect you as a father. You know, Anin's grown up now, seventeen years old. He can choose, he wants to go with whoever it is Anin's own decision. My wife and I can't ban you if Anin decides to be with your family. But remember one thing, if I hear Anin up to nothing because of you or your new family. I am the one who will advance first to take Anin away from you. But I won't let Anin leave our family. Remember that!" Jo just left Ken.

Without waiting for a response from Ken. His emotions were felt at the top of his crown that was ready to explode at any moment if he remained there. Jo looks anxious and agitated. What his wife was worried about was really happening. Ken wants his daughter to take care of him.

Huh, why do you realize now that she has a daughter? Wherever this whole time when his daughter needs him. Really makes a fuss. I'm not gonna let that happen. My wife is my life and my wife's life is partly on her daughter, her daughter is also my daughter too, I won't let you take away the happiness of our family especially my wife. Inner Jo goes into the kitchen taking a cold drink of cold water from the fridge.

He needs cold water to cool himself. Being with Ken really made him drain his emotions and energy. Jo sat down while sipping her cold drink inside the darkness of the dining table.

"Honey, what are you doing in the dark by yourself?" Karina approaches her husband who looks not okay. Karina touched her husband's forehead with the back of her hand.

"Not hot." muttered Karina, his hand held Jo fixed on his forehead to seek tranquility in the arms of his wife.

Karina placed her husband's head on the side of her stomach with Karina standing sideways in front of her husband. Karina tried to comfort her to give her husband peace.

"I love you baby." whispered Jo softly still in his spoiled wife's waist.

"I love you too, baby."

"I love you more." Jo replied looking up at his wife.

Karina decided to sit on the dining table next to her husband.

"Yes, you love me more" replied Karina pulling her husband into her arms.

Jo smirked his face into the soft chest of his satisfied smiling wife.
