Esme still looked frozen after hearing what Aice said over the phone."Mama?" called Esme, and then Esme couldn't believe what she heard from Aice's mouth.Esme really didn't expect that her mother would act like that, even worse than Damien."Yeah, why? Don't you expect me to accept a child from a scavenger like Jason? It's never been a dream in my life; having a son-in-law like Jason is a nightmare for my life," Aice said to Esme."Thank you mommy for your attention to the child in Esme's womb. And I hope he will be a strong, smart, and great child. Good night!" Esme said to Aice, steeling herself not to let the tears and sobs come out.Jason could only stroke Esme's shoulder because Esme happened to activate her cell phone's loudspeaker, so Jason could hear her.Tut!Esme put Aice off the phone. She didn't want to feel any more pain from the harsh words Aice gave her.Braaaaak!Esme slammed the cellphone that was in her hand until it shattered into pieces on the floor. Jason could
"If you're not sure, don't sell it," Jason said to his interlocutor on the other end of the phone.And who would have thought that the other person was Tristan?Jason didn't expect that Tristan would sell his mansion, but arrogant people always have an excuse. Likewise with Tristan, he reasoned that he wanted to buy a more luxurious house than that.Jason didn't respond to this; Jason only said if Tristan wanted to sell his house, Jason would buy it, but if not, Jason would turn off the phone.Hearing that, Tristan looked emotional because he felt that Jason had looked down on him. Even though Jason did not want to prolong business with anyone. Because right now he just needs peace, not commotion from anyone."You, please just state how much you are asking for. Then I will decide if I can afford it or not," Jason said later."If I can't afford to pay, then I will step down and not buy your house," continued Jason."If you just want to insult me, I'd better find another house. And I th
"Listen, Tristan! I don't want to be in trouble with you, and I have transferred the money for the house purchase! And my people will take care of it and finish everything!"Jason turned off the phone to Tristan, and immediately he called the person he sent to contact Tristan."Who?" Esme asked Jason.Jason just smiled when he heard Esme's question."That's insulting, Tristan. He said I wouldn't be able to afford the house," Jason replied."How much did he ask for?" she asked again."Only twenty billion," Jason said in a blow to Esme.Esme nodded, hearing Jason's answer that the house they bought belonged to Tristan in Gajah Mada for twenty billion.Hearing the twenty billion, Esme suddenly remembered that Mira had run away with that much money, and Esme compared the house they were going to live in with Addison and Mira's house.Even though Esme didn't really care whether she wanted to live in a bigger and wider house or a simple and small house, Because the most important thing is t
"Mama, once again, Esme says this is the last chance Mama talks to Esme; after this, Mama and Papa will never see Esme again.""You two don't need to prepare a doctor to abort the child in my womb because no mother in the world wants to abort her child.""Thank you for your kindness during this time," Esme said, wiping away her tears.Tut!Then Esme turned off the phone and blocked all contacts with Aice and Damien.Jason, who was next to Esme, didn't make the slightest sound; Jason only wiped away the traces of tears on his wife's face. Then Jason grabbed Esme's shoulders and led her to sleep on the bed."Son of Papa, you must be strong, honey. You didn't see Mama crying today, did you? Don't cry too," Jason said, stroking Esme's stomach."Today, let mommy rest, honey," Jason continued as he smoothed Esme's blanket.And indeed, it seems that the child in Esme's womb also understands how his mother is feeling at this moment. So, he didn't act in the slightest, and even Esme didn't fee
Ferdian seemed to smile when hearing questions from Jason, who seemed impatient to wait for an explanation from Ferdian."You really look like Uncle Dagfinn," Ferdian said later."Uncle Dagfinn is just like you; he doesn't like long-winded things like you," chuckled Ferdian.Jason was silent at this time; he just wanted to listen to what the man in front of him would say."You know Papa?" Jason asked Ferdian.Ferdian seemed to be sipping on the soda that the receptionist had prepared for him."That's why I know that if you're not at home or at Dalton, it means you're at this hotel," Ferdian replied to Jason.And right now, Jason was sure that the person in front of him was someone who knew Dagfinn, and maybe even knew Dagfinn or his family well, because what Jason heard earlier was Ferdian calling Dagfinn 'uncle'.Jason then just nodded, waiting for Ferdian to continue his conversation. Because it looks like Ferdian also brought a thick folder, which he put on the table.However, it w
"You don't have to play around, Ferdian," Jason said to Ferdian."Ha ha ha."Ferdian even laughed out loud at Jason's response."I'm not playing around, Jason. Why am I playing around with things like this? I came all the way from abroad just to play with you like this. It's not funny."Ferdian paused his sentence."And this is true; this is the company data owned by Uncle Dagfinn abroad. So, usually every year or, at the earliest, every semester, I go home to report everything, and I also usually transfer the profits to his account because I don't do it every month. because I'm busy and also because Uncle asked like that."And it turned out that Ferdian's goal in meeting Jason that day was to submit an annual report and also ask for Jason's account number. Ferdian will transfer the money.Jason was completely taken aback by Ferdian's explanation. Jason didn't even know anything about Dagfinn's overseas company.Because indeed, Dagfinn did not even mention any companies abroad, just
"Anida?" said Esme, frowning."Yes!" She replied curtly."What are you doing here? Since when did you come home?" she asked."It's up to me what to do here!" answered the woman called Anida; she seemed to let go of her hands on a man who seemed much older than her.Esme just nodded."What are you doing here, Esme? Selling yourself?" asked Anida, who looked at Jason cynically, especially when she saw Jason carrying a thick folder."My husband and I are staying here again. Because this is my husband's hotel," Esme answered casually while hugging Jason's arm tightly.Anida's eyes widened. She, who turned out to be a distant cousin of Esme, looked surprised. Maybe she hasn't read the news. Because all this time, Anida lived abroad."Ha ha ha.""You don't dream, Esme. You can't have a husband who owns a hotel," Anida argued."Meet Jason Mairer and her husband, Esme Damien. I am the owner of Dalton, and this hotel is either owned by Dalton or owned by Dalton!" Jason explained this to Anida
"Why, are you surprised?" asked Esme, surprised to see Jason, who looked surprised to hear what Esme said."It's okay, honey," answered Jason, who then invited Esme to get into his car, and they would soon go to a mall.Esme just nodded.Along the way to the mall, Esme still seemed busy thinking about Anida, which she thought was really weird. I came to the hotel only two hours later with men."Or could Anida sell herself?" asked Esme, who was surprised and covered her mouth. Esme just realized that Anida was behaving strangely."Hah!"Jason looked surprised to hear his question from Esme. Jason didn't expect Esme to finally notice that.Jason then just shook his head and frowned. Jason chose to remain silent and not answer questions from his wife."How come you don't answer?" she asked."Okay, let's not talk about other people," Jason replied slowly.The two of them fell silent again, watching the speed of the vehicles passing by on the road, which was quite congested. Because it jus
