'Plak' a hard slap landed on Alden's cheek.
Alden is of course emotional. But he must be aware of his position now. She is currently facing Valen's parents Bramantyo and Esther. Esther had only cried while hugging Valen, while Bram immediately ignited emotions as Alden said that Valen was pregnant because of it.
Bram never imagined this unlucky fate would befall his family. The princess he was so proud of now instead said that she was pregnant.
"I will be responsible to him, even if you disagree" Alden replied firmly.
"Valen, you really are.." Bram turned his back, he lifted Valen to his feet. "Why did you let Dad down like this?"
"Dad.." said Valen so sadly. He was aware that he was wrong this time, so Valen could not say anything to defend himself.
"Java!" Bram yelled at Valen. Esther tries to mediate Bram so that Bram does not overstep his limits and instead slaps Valen like he slapped Alden.
Valen could only cry again.
"Om, please, allow me to marry Valen." Alden held Bram's hand, but Bram immediately brushed him off.
"You're just Sebastian's adopted son. Don't think I don't know if you're an unwanted child. And your mother is just a maid." said Bram emotionally.
Alden clenched his hand. He does not accept if someone brings up the past of his family and especially insulting his now deceased mother.
"Om, this is my problem with Valen. Why are you even bringing my background?" alden said with a trembling voice. Bram is outrageous. Alden was well-meaning to marry Valen, but he was treated this way.
"Just be clear. I don't want my son to live a hard life because of you." Bram emphasized his words.
"Dad's.." Valen held Bram's hand so he wouldn't continue the hurtful words. He knew that Alden was so upset that his face had turned red.
"So, um will let her have a child without a husband?" ask Alden to challenge Bram. He could actually be like other men who run away after finding out if their lover is pregnant. But Alden doesn't want to be like that. She is completely in love with Valen and wants to go through this matter together. But, if Valen refused, then he would not be able to do anything.
Bram just kept quiet and didn't answer Alden. His mind was currently very troubled. He wanted to match Valen with the other acquaintance's child, but where would anyone accept Valen who was pregnant?
"Now, your decision remains Val. I won't ask 2 times, will you come with me?" Alden stretched out his hand and wished Valen to welcome him.
"Val," Alden still stretched out his sore hand.
Valen clasped Alden's hand in doubt. Alden smiling. He immediately locked Valen's hand with his fingers.
"Come, we form our own little family" Alden said with confidence.
"Valen, once you get out that door, you have to leave all the facilities here, including your clinic. That's all the capital from Dad." said Bram who still can't believe if his son went with Alden. Bram hopes, with such a threat, Valen will definitely rethink going with Alden.
Valen held Alden's hand. He was hesitant about his choice. If Valen can't get to her beauty clinic, then what will she do?
"Val, I'll take full responsibility, I promise." Alden knows Valen's thoughts. He tries to persuade Valen to come with him.
"Valenciaa!" bram shouted as he saw Valen actually leaving with Alden.

Alden's already facing Valen's parents. Now, Valen looks so sad. She cried so hard in Alden's arms.
"Darling, we have to prove to Dad that we can be happy even if life is simple." - Alden. Honestly his heart hurts so much to see a woman he loves so much crying like this.
"Den, but, what about your Dad?" valen said in the middle of his prank.
"It's okay, don't worry." "Stop crying. The doctor says you can't stress. It will affect our child."
Alden's words this time made Valen start to stop crying. Alden's right. They checked the contents at the hospital. Valen is only 8 weeks old. And it's very vulnerable.
Valen released his embrace after calmer. Alden rubbed Valen's remaining tears with his left hand. He then clasped Valen's hand as he drove forward his car. Now, Alden must meet with Benjamin Sebastian and Lydia, aka both parents. Alden has to get this all done, though he's sure, Ben will be furious.
