Young Master's Lovely Chef

Chapter 2: The Conversation

Plaques

Tone holding his cheek that felt numb. As firmly as he held back the rate of tears that almost flowed down his cheeks. It hurt a lot because for the first time Steve slapped him in the face.

"Nad, papa ..."

Nada hurriedly left the house and followed by Adel who was worried if Nada acted foolishly.

"Uncle, you're so outrageous!" circus Leo who immediately followed Adel's step after Nada.

There were only three people left in the dining room. Yuni cried and slapped Steve's chest feeling very guilty. Samuel had been silent with a horrible face. His sharp eyes seemed to judge the pair of couples in front of him.

"One more time you hit him, I'll make sure to pay you back many times, Uncle."

Glug

Steve got goosebumps hearing Samuel's dark voice this time. He could only look down and apologize from now on. He was too carried away by emotions because of excessive worry for the princess.

"I'm leaving." Samuel went straight to Nada's place after getting a message from Leo.

...***...

"You okay?" adel asked Nada who was just smiling. They were sitting in a garden not too far from Nada's house. The atmosphere is so quiet. Only the sound of a fountain was heard which became a tranquilizer for them.

"Are you sure of your choice?" ask again.

"Yes, of course. Are you doubting me?"

"Ah, no. Didn't I tell you that I always supported you?" asked Adel who only answered dumbness by Nada.

Given the incident, Leo who just arrived at the park tried to give advice to Nada to work at Samuel's company which also happened to be opening a job vacancy.

"You can save up to build the restaurant you dreamed of, Nad." Adel tried to convince to shout out the offer that felt very acceptable.

"I'll think about it first."

"But soon the vacancy will be closed. If you are not fast, then someone else took the position first" said Leo who had sat beside Nada.

"Already, you take it .. Do you not want to earn income? There's no way you're just taking a course and you don't have any income, are you?" ask Adel to chimed in.

Looking at Nada who was still thinking, Samuel finally spoke up after just standing behind Nada and looking at the three people, "You will be interning first for 3 months and work hours only until 2 p.m. The rest of the time you can use it for your personal needs."

"really?"

"Hm."

.........

Meanwhile, Steve just silently looked at his wife's flowers from the bedroom window. He was deeply hurt by Nada's decision. Wasn't it enough that they were always arguing?

"Darling, you understand the position of Nada. He would also want to be able to develop that talent."

"Enough!" furious Steve.

"I don't want to hear anything anymore. Why do you always defend her, huh?! You yourself know that it can be dangerous for him! Don't you remember what happened when he was 10?!" steve sarcas said.

"I know and of course I remember that incident" Yuni replied, recalling the events of the past few years.

"Even I almost stopped breathing because I saw her very apprehensive condition. But now he is an adult, of course he can take care of himself," he continued with a soft tone trying not to provoke emotions.

"Adult you say?" tell the man quickly.

"His age is 21, but every night he dreams of the same thing. I even have to keep him when he's asleep and having nightmares!" steve said with a great shaking body.

"Aren't you thinking about my position too huh? Aren't you thinking about my feelings? Whatever happens, whatever the reality is she's still my little princess that I have to take care of" she continued with a small sobbing. He was very afraid of losing Tone because the woman had a very severe trauma since childhood. Of course Steve didn't want Nada to get hurt in the least.

"I-I'm sorry, baby."

Yuni said and immediately hugged Steve who had broken on the floor while crying stifled. Let people say that he is not a good father because he hinders the ideals of his own son. People will only judge from the outer cover without looking more carefully at the contents inside.

His memory returned a few years ago. When his sister had to lay down his life right in front of his own eyes while tightly hugging a very badly injured little girl.

"Please take care of him."

Only those three words could be spoken by his sister because the condition of the man was far from good. Before the last breath, with the remaining energy his sister still had time to kiss gently on the little girl's forehead.

Steve tried to dampen all his feelings so that no one would get hurt. However, without realizing the choice he was making, he hated himself and endured the guilt of his entire life.

Son, forgive papa. Steve's mind was unable to tell the truth to Nada.

Your blood is too thick on your daughter. Behold, Nada has remained in her position to follow in your footsteps, even she has idolized you since childhood without knowing her own father. His mind again with a sliced heart.

..."I can't stop thinking that I hate myself. No, I hate my place in this world."...
