Forced to Be Stepmom
Clarifying Andra

Lathan rushes to the cafeteria after hearing from her friend that Andra is arguing with Jane and the other guardians. She was worried that Andra was surprised and that nothing happened because she was pregnant.

Lathan, who had just arrived at the kantin, stopped immediately when she saw her mother talking. He was stunned to stare at the extremely brave Andra and was not nervous at all.

“Cih, you're too convoluted bu Jane. Just say that the reason you make rumors like this is to make my relationship and my husband tenuous right? Unfortunately you will not succeed. Because

I have never been violent with Lathan and we are happy with our little family. Nothing will be able to disturb our happiness, including You” Andra said confidently.

Why am I worried about my mom? My mom can handle her own problems.

Lathan continued to watch Andra while smiling sweetly.

“I have absolutely no intention to damage Andra's relationship with Mr. Radit. Lathan is my student and I don't want to if

Lathan accepted the violence and just kept quiet out of fear. I tried to talk to Lathan, but she said nothing at all. I beg Ms. Andra not to hurt the child. She has not had a mother since childhood. Her dream of having a mother like anyone else could be broken by having a stepmother who was abusive to her”.

Ms. Jane insisted that Andra had been violent with Lathan all along. He did not listen to Andra's explanation at all.

“If Lathan is silent and doesn't say anything to you about violence, it means that she doesn't experience anything like that. I loved Lathan since I knew the boy, even I married Radit's brother also because of Lathan. So it's impossible if I have hurt him let alone by doing violence”.

Andra who was getting upset now raised her voice as she spoke.

“What mami said is true. Mami never did violence to me” at all.

Lathan, who had been paying attention, finally started talking.

Everyone turned towards Lathan after hearing her hoarse voice. Lathan walked confidently and gallantly. He looks so cute and adorable.

“Lathan, why are you here? Why not study in your class?” ask the curious Andra. She approached Lathan with a gentle smile on her lips and crouched down in front of her

“Lathan, are you okay?” asked Andra again with a worried look after seeing Lathan who was silent with her head down.

“Mami forgive me. I should have explained to them that Mami never hit me. Never mind hitting, Mami never even scolded me”.

Lathan spoke with her head bowed sadly in front of Andra. Her tears were slightly dripping with regret as she spoke.

“No need to worry dear. It's not your fault. Their opinions are not important to Mommy. The important thing is that you love Mami and Mami also love you very much”.

Andra spoke with a gentle smile then pulled Lathan into her arms.

Everyone stared at the couple's mother and child so on, another case with Jane's mother who was still bad at Andra.

“Bu Andra, did you force Lathan to talk like that in front of others? Did you intentionally ask Lathan to say something sweet to do

you are not unloaded?” jane said with a cynical tone.

Andra took off her hug on Lathan. He stood up and looked at Jane with a cold look

“Now I feel that it seems that you are not at all worthy of being a teacher. Shouldn't a teacher care for his students? How can you teach your students how to be prejudiced? You are forcing your opinion on something that is not true at all. I am only a mother, but I consider Lathan to be like my own son. Because ever since I married his father, Lathan has been my son too. You might think that I did

violent and deliberately threatening Lathan. This doesn't make any sense at all. Rather than being said to be a teacher, you deserve to be said to be the culprit of gossip” Andra spoke with a cynical attitude.

“Bu Andra, I'm talking based on facts. Not just a mere assumption”

“Which facts do you mean? Did you ever see for yourself that I hit Lathan?”.

Andra cut out Jane's sentence as she spoke.

“When Lathan didn't go to school a while ago, you said she was sick. As soon as she got into school she said her vocal cords were a little broken and there was a cut on her neck, wasn't it because of you?”

“That's when Lathan had an incident with one of my business associates, and who wanted to destroy Radit's brother. At that time Lathan's neck was hit by an incision from a broken glass made by the person, as a result of which Lathan had to undergo treatment and could not speak smoothly because the wound would hurt when he spoke. If you still do not believe it, then you can come to restaurant X and see the CCTV camera there. Everyone knows about the incident”.

Andra explains what happened to Lathan's throat, which left her unable to speak for a while.

“Then, yesterday Lathan did not go to school and now there are scars also in his hands” said Ms. Jane who realized Lathan's scar

“Lathan and my husband had an accident a few days ago, and Lathan was injured on his forehead as well as his hands. If you still doubt my statement, also then I can contact my husband to confirm all my statements”.

Andra didn't wait for Jane's response first. He called Radit as he spoke.

Tut tuut tuut

"Hello, baby" before long Radit's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sister Radit, are you busy?" asked Andra with a slightly doubtful attitude.

"none. Did something happen?". Radit frowned with a curious look on his face as he asked Andra.

"There's something I want to ask. You have to answer honestly. There's nothing to hide because it's about my good name".

Andra spoke in a cold and serious manner.

"Why does it sound like you're on the edge of a horn?".

Radit smiled slightly seductively at his wife.

"i'm serious. Brother must answer honestly" Andra said firmly.

"alright. I will answer your question honestly. Now tell me what you want to ask!" said Radit who began to wonder what Andra would ask.

"Have I ever been violent to Lathan?"

"What did you say?! What kind of nonsense are you saying?".

Radit sounded in disbelief as he heard Andra's question.

"Just tell me, did I ever hurt Lathan or not?"

"Of course not. How could you dare to hurt your own child. Didn't you take good care of her all this time?".

Radit answered Andra's question in a calm manner.

"Thank you. I think that's enough to prove that I'm completely innocent".

Andra smiled after hearing Radit's reply.

"Is this about the gossip at Lathan's school?" ask Radit to make sure.

"really. But Brother need not worry I can finish this. Doesn't it matter if Lathan gets another teacher?"

"No papa. If you want, you can close that school and find another better school for Lathan"

"really? Thanks Brother. Bye now".

Andra hung up the phone immediately after she finished talking. He also turned to the other guardians and also Miss Jane who had been listening to Andra and Radit's conversation through the phone speaker that was opened.

"Have you heard everything? Or should I ask my husband here to explain to you in person?"
