Eighteen years later…“One … two … three … for … five … six … seven … eight.” Erica made a different movement on each count then she and her four friends started dancing to the beat of the music. They will be performing at the campus arts event next month, that's why Erica and her friends are more active in practicing.Tap!A man who had just entered the room seemed to turn off the music. Erica and her four friends immediately turned around. "Shit!" Erica cursed when she saw Arsen's face, then she stepped to approach her cousin. "Could you just not bother me for a day?"“I don't think you need to practice anymore. I'm sure you will be able to stand out at the campus arts event later," said Arsen.“Do you think I need your opinion? Nope." Erica shook her head."Well, maybe you don't need my opinion. But I really need your opinion right now, Erica. Please help me to solve my problem.”"Sorry. I am busy." Erica turned around to continue training.But Arsen held the girl's hand. "Please.
“One… Two… Three… For…” Erica descended the stairs while memorizing her dance moves."Are you going to be performing at your college arts event tonight?" Kenneth rebuked his daughter."Hi, Daddy! Yes, I will perform tonight. Anyway, what about my costume?” Erica spun around in front of her father."Hmmm, looks interesting, but try to tell me more clearly about this concept of your outfit."“The theme of my costume is a brave, graceful girl. That's why we used black and pink."“Hhm nice, it looks good on you. Unfortunately, I wasn't invited to the party. I'd really like to see you perform though.""Ha ha. Don't be sad, Daddy. I will appear before you first. Attention please!" Erica started dancing in front of her father.Kenneth smiled a little then said, “Enough! Enough! Don't waste your energy here. You have to look your best on stage later, right? Good luck!”"Okay. Bye, Daddy! Bye, Mommy!" Erica waved to her parents and then drove off in her own car.“Hmm, time flies so fast. I did
That morning was Arsen's first day starting college at the new campus. He is lazy to get up early because his college major is not in accordance with what he likes. Arsen preferred literature, but his father forced him to major in business."Arsenic!" Luna woke Arsen up for the third time that morning.Arsen was forced to get out of bed, then take a shower and have breakfast with his family. “Starting next month, I want you to start working part time at WS Group. You can choose the department you like," Shawn said to his son."I'm sorry, Daddy. I don't think I can share my time yet. You know, the first year of college is usually going to be a very busy year—”“But not only do you need to understand business theory, you should also try practical work in the office. After all, I'm only asking you to work part time. Two or three hours a day is enough.”Arsenic smiled wryly. He was already annoyed at the thought that he would run out of time to play and do the activities he likes. From a
At 07.00 PM, Arsen said goodbye to Daniel. “I will visit here another time, Uncle.”"My door will always be open for you," Daniel replied."See you!""See you!"When he saw Arsen get into his car, Daniel's eyes filled with tears. He felt sad because he had to part with his son. Daniel feels even more sad because he can't tell Arsen that Arsen is his biological son.Diana walked up to Daniel and said, "He looks like you."Daniel wiped his tears. "He's much prettier than me.""Yes. I agree with you." Diana nodded her head with a small smile. “But, there is one thing that makes me feel surprised. Didn't his father ever suspect Arsen's resemblance to you?"“I don't know. I hope he never thinks like that. Because if Shawn knew the facts, then Arsen would be doomed. I want my son to live.”Diana rubbed Daniel's shoulder. "I'm sure one day he will call you Daddy. Let's go inside. Don't you want to rest?""I still want to be here."“Okay, but I hope you don't linger here. The night air is not
"Honey, I'm going to the office. Looks like I'll be home late tonight because I have a lot of preparations for the grand opening of the new restaurant tomorrow. Take care at home. See you!” Kenneth kissed Quella's forehead as he was about to leave for work."You too."“Oh yeah, where is Erica? Has he gone to college yet?”"I think he's off today. Maybe he's still tired and sleeping right now.""Oh okay. Bye, honey!” Kenneth left for the office with his personal assistant. While Quella turned her head to face the garage. He didn't see Erica's car there. Isn't Erica home yet? Quella frowned.Then Quella went to Erica's room to make sure her daughter had arrived home or not. When she opened the door to Erica's room, Quella saw that her daughter was sleeping."Erica! Please wake up! It's noon!” Quella woke Erica up while opening the window curtains."Mommy! Please let me sleep all day. Today is my free day," said Erica without opening her eyes."Let's get up first! I wanted to ask you—”“
When he returned home, Arsen was immediately greeted by his mother. "Where have you been, Arsenic? Why do you turn off your phone all day?” said Luna.“I was very busy on the first day of college at the new campus, Mom. I hope you can understand you.""You know, your dad's been waiting at the office all day."“I already told him that I would find it difficult to divide my time between college and work. By the way, where is he now?”"You're still lucky that he's out of town.""I hope he's been there a long time. Oh yeah, Mommy, do you know, I met someone at my new campus," said Arsen later.Luna frowned. "Who?"“Uncle Daniel,” Arsen answered with a smile. "He invited me to stop by his house and he also lent me these books."Luna was silent when she heard Daniel's name. Her blood was boiling because she had missed him for so long. Since Daniel left Shawn's house, Luna actually felt very lost. But he never showed that to anyone. "Oh yeah? How are you now?” Luna tried to ask with a face a
When they arrived at the location, Erica said to Arsen, “I think you should just wait in the car. I promise to see you again after my show is over.""Are you too afraid if I meet your parents?"“You already know about it, but you still do it. You know, I feel threatened right now."“Calm down! I will be responsible for what I do. Let's go down!""Please come down first. I'll change my clothes first.""Okay, please change. I will wait here.”“I said OUT! Don't try to peek at me!” Erica pushed Arsen's body.Arsenic out of the car. He stood beside the car while trying to peek at Erica who was changing clothes. Unfortunately the windshield was dark so Arsen wouldn't be able to see clearly. Not long after that, Erica got out of the car wearing elegant looking clothes. Erica was wearing a shirt lined with a blazer.“Oww… You look like a young director when you look like this. I forgot that you are a dancer.”“I can be anything. You know, I'm very smart and multitalented."“Hmmh, why do all
Because often treated rudely by Shawn, Luna remembered Daniel. If Daniel was still in the house, at least he had someone to talk to about his grief. Daniel also often entertains Luna by bringing Luna to fun places. Luna also remembered Arsen's suggestion a few days ago that he wanted Daniel to return to work with their family. Luna began to agree with her son's idea.So, a few days later, Luna looked for Daniel's home address. He found the address where Daniel lives from the Arsenic campus. It turned out that Daniel lived in a simple flat on the third floor. Luna came there alone. After matching the flat number with the address she had obtained, Luna also ventured to knock on the door. He felt pounding because he had not seen Daniel in a long time.Click!The door was opened by a woman who was none other than Diana, Daniel's wife. Luna felt a little disappointed because it wasn't Daniel who opened the door for her. While Diana frowned at the woman she did not recognize. "Yes? Is there
