Forced to Be Stepmom
Meeting Lathan And Vio

Leo stared in disbelief at what he had just heard. He looked at Lathan with a glare.

"Lathan, are you okay?" leo said with a tone that sounded sad.

Lathan nodded with a smile on her lips.

"I'm fine, Cake. Grandfather need not worry" Lathan wrote on his tablet.

"Come here, son" Leo waved to Lathan and asked her to approach. Lathan followed Leo's wishes. He slowly approached the grandfather.

"Lathan, Grandpa is sorry for hiding the truth from you. But we have no bad intentions at all. At that time, we all had no other choice. We want to raise you without any lack of affection at all, and this is the only path we can take for your good" Leo spoke to Lathan very warmly while holding Lathan's hand and gently rubbing the back of her hand.

"I understand, Grandpa. I'm not angry at all. The most important thing for me is that I still come from this family. I was also lucky to have Papi who loved me so much" because Leo held his hand, Lathan had trouble writing what he wanted to say. Finally Lathan answered Leo though in a weak voice.

Radit smilingly looked at Lathan with a smile full of haru.

"The fire is also happy to take care of you" Radit smiled gently in response to Lathan.

"Grandfather, may I speak to Grandma?" Instantly the atmosphere turned silent. Radit and Lathan stared at each other. They were puzzled by what to say to Lathan.

All this time despite Radit visiting, he never talked about Lathan to Vio. Because when Lathan was a baby, Vio had to scream hysterically as soon as Leo told him that Lathan was Lea's child.

"Why do you want to talk to Grandma?" asked Leo who was curious about Lathan's intentions.

"I just want grandma to know where I am" Lathan lowered her head in response to Leo's question.

Long enough Leo was speechless considering Lathan's request. Eventually Leo allows Lathan to meet Vio.

"Dit, take Lathan to see your mama"

"But, Pah. Are you sure this isn't papa? Mama hasn't reacted to Lathan in a long time.

"We should try it. Like you said, it's been a long time since mom reacted. Maybe now she can already receive it? It's been a long time, who knows this time your mama will show a positive response to Lathan"

Radit was silent again. He looked at Lathan with a gaze full of doubt and worry.

"Lathan, are you sure you want to meet and talk to grandma?"

"Euh" Lathan nodded confidently as she responded to Radit's question.

"Well, then how about we go see grandma now?" Radit asked as he extended his hand to Lathan.

Lathan nodded in agreement as she grabbed Radit by the hand and started to move from her seat.

"Darling, are you going to come see Grandma with us?". Radit asked Andra who had been silent since then while watching them.

"No. You guys go first. I'll see my own mama later" Andra responded while shaking her head slowly.

"Then we go first" said Radit who walked away leaving Leo and Andra while holding hands with Lathan.

Radit and Lathan walked towards the back porch, where Vio was sitting alone there staring straight ahead with a blank look.

Radit walked slowly closer to Vio. He crouched down in front of her while looking up at Vio's face.

"Mama, how's Mama doing? I'm sorry that I rarely come here to see Mama. This time I want to introduce someone to Mama" Vio listened as he gently stared at Radit's face.

"Did you remember the baby that Leah was born with?" Vio tilted his head and looked at Radit questioningly.

"Now he's grown up. He had gone to school and had grown up to be an intelligent child" Radit turned to Lathan who was standing not far away from him. He smiled then waved at Lathan.

"Lea, Lea, Lea, Lea" Vio kept calling out Lea's name repeatedly. He looked confused and sad then a while later Vio was crying.

"Lea, he's not wrong. They're evil! They deserve to be punished! My poor daughter. How could you be his victim? They thought Leah was the poor one who would seize their treasure?!" Vio continued to grumble and curse at the people who harmed Leah.

"Mama, relax. Lookatthis. He's Lea's son. But isn't he very similar to Galen's brother?" Radit spoke while holding Lathan's back with a gentle smile on his lips.

Vio looked at Lathan closely. He continued to pay attention to Lathan's plain smiling face at him. Slowly, Vio stopped crying.

"Grandma, do you want to play with me?" lathan asked with a cheerful tone of voice and a cute facial expression was also adorable.

"Main?" Vio looked puzzled at Lathan's invitation.

"Yes, main. How about we play catch ball?" Lathan replied with a smile accompanied by a nod of her head.

"Oh!" finally Vio nodded in agreement with a cheerful smile. He stood up while holding hands with Lathan. They ran towards the yard to play ball.

"Grandma, take this!" lathan said while throwing it at Vio. As well as Vio, he immediately threw it at Lathan after catching her.

Vio and Lathan look happy. Radit, Leo and Andra also smiled seeing the happy laughter from Vio's face.

"Finally my mom can laugh again" said Radit who smiled looking at Vio.

"Yes, after almost 8 years, your mother can finally come back cheerful" Leo said in response to Radit's remarks.

"Hopefully this could be a good start for the development of your health" continued Andra who also responded.

They continued to look at Lathan and Vio who were playing with his cherry.

After being satisfied playing, Vio and Lathan enjoy a snack together before dinner time arrives.

"Grandma, is grandma happy?" lathan asked with a smile on her lips.

"Yes, I'm so happy" Vio responded with a cheerful smile.

"Will grandma eat with me?" Lathan looks nervous waiting for the answer Vio will give.

"eat? Dining together? Come on!" Vio always asked with a curious face and Lathan always nodded her head in response to every question Vio had

"Yeey, eat with grandma!" lathan exclaimed with great cheer.

"Dit, Papa hope you play here a lot. Looks like your mama's starting to open her heart to Lathan. As you can see, so far the development has been very good" Leo spoke to Radit with a completely unassailable view of Vio.

"I plan to let Andra stay here until she gives birth. I always worried about leaving him at home. Yes even though there were many bodyguards on guard, I still did not feel calm at all. What about Papa? Doesn't it matter?"

"certain. Papa's happy if you plan to let Andra stay here. That way, your mom won't feel lonely because she's alone with you" Leo looks happy when Radit says he'll be staying there for a while.

"Thank you, Pah" Radit said softly

"Bapy! I want to stay here with my mom too! I don't want to stay alone with Papi". Hearing Radit ask Leo for permission to stay for a while, Lathan interrupted. He also wants to stay at Leo's house and not be away from Andra.

"But Lathan, you have to go to school. Your school is far enough from here, Papi is afraid that you will be exhausted if you leave and go home from school here" Radit tried to convince Lathan to stay in their home.

"don't want. If mami is here, then I will also stay here point" Lathan protested against Radit

"All right, Papi lost. We're gonna stay here"

"Hore .. stay at grandma's house!"
