Forced to Be Stepmom
Gio's Regret

Gio is working at the hotel at the moment. He was busy picking up trash from every hotel room to throw away. He also took out the wet garbage that came from the kitchen.

"Euh, it stinks. How long do I have to do this?" Gio muttered while covering his nose with both fingers

At the same time Andra was coming to the hotel and accompanied Radit to check the condition of the hotel

"Where are we going to eat this one? There's a restaurant that just opened around here, does Radit want to go there?" Andra spoke to Radit with a spoiled tone and a cheerful smile while holding her husband's arm. They look like very happy husbands and wives. Gio could only watch Andra from behind.

“Are you happy with him? Do I really have no place in your heart?” thought Gio when he saw the young couple. However he did not dare to greet Andra after what happened to him and just stared at the backs of Andra and Radit who were walking further and further away from him.

While Gio was thinking about Andra, Andra and Radit went to pick Lathan up at his school first before they went to lunch. They came to Lathan's school just before her son was done with his lessons.

Not long after seeing Lathan out of school. He looked around looking for Radit's car. At the sight of the father's car, Lathan smiled and walked over to the car. Radit who sees his cute son walking over comes straight down from the car along with Andra

"Lathan ...!" Call Radit as soon as he gets out of the car

"Bapy! Mommy!" Lathan called back Radit and Andra as she ran into Radit's arms

"Uuh ... papi's hotshot is home" Radit said as he lifted Lathan's hug and Andra stood beside him holding Lathan's back

"Are you hungry, baby?" andra asked the son with a soft tone and a sweet smile.

"Yes, Mommy. I'm so hungry" Lathan responded with a funny tone and a sweet smile.

"Then we have lunch first. What do you want to eat?" Radit asked gently and affectionately.

"Eumm .. I want to eat a burger, Pih" Lathan replied after thinking for a moment.

"Burger's? All right" Radit agreed after confirming that Lathan wanted to eat a burger.

"But, when are we going to see Grandpa and Grandma again?"

Radit was speechless with a slightly moody face and was bent sadly. Andra realizes Radit's facial changes and tries to persuade Lathan.

"Darling, we just got there last weekend, so we're going to go see his grandmother?" said Andra who tried to persuade Lathan to postpone his desire to meet Vio and Leo.

"But, Mih if the weekend I am off so it will not interfere with my school and papi also does not work on weekends. What else is the problem? I'm so happy to meet my grandparents" Lathan tries to convince Radit and Andra to go see Vio and Leo. He showed a hopeful look with a pleading look.

"Yes, Mami knows, but if we visit grandparents too often, then their rest will be disturbed. You don't want to bother grandpa and grandma?" Andra tried to reassure Lathan with a calm demeanor and a gentle smile.

"Good, Mami". Lathan nodded in agreement though with a disappointed look.

Radit and Andra stared at each other looking at Lathan's reaction which looked disappointed.

Radit started driving his car at a speed to a restaurant that was in accordance with Lathan's wishes. Not long after they arrived there. Lathan kept silent during their journey.

"Lathan, which message do you want?" asked Andra who was trying to change Lathan's mood.

"I want to double cheese only Mih" Lathan answered Andra's question very briefly

"Well, we'll order that" Andra ordered food for the three of them, while Radit tried to talk to Lathan

"No, Pih" Lathan replied with a bent face while shaking her head simultaneously and eyes staring at Radit

"If Lathan isn't angry why put on a face like that? Who knows, the papi whiz is always cheerful and makes papi smile by looking at your sweet smile" Radit spoke gently to Lathan while pinching both of his cheeks affectionately

"Is it like this, Papi?" Lathan immediately widened her lips and smiled with both hands holding the tip of her lips

"Yes, like that. Papi knows that this papi whiz is very clever" Radit praised Lathan while gently rubbing his head.

"But, may I ask you something?"

"Hmm? Ask what?" Radit seemed curious about what his son would ask

"Why doesn't my grandmother recognize me? And who is Lea?"

Radit was silent at Lathan's question. He was shocked and confused as to what he had to say for his answer.

"When we got there, Grandma always said that I looked like her son Lea and Galen. Who are they really?" Connect Lathan who is curious about Lea and also Galen who Vio always talks about.

"Don't you already know that Leah is your brother and Galen is her husband? They both died in an accident, therefore grandmother was devastated "

Radit explained in a calm manner. But when Lathan doesn't see him, Radit goes to great lengths to endure his pain.

"Do I look like their child? As long as I'm Papi's son, but grandma always says I look like Galen" Lathan pursed her lips in annoyance as she told him about what Vio said.

Radit smiled faintly and endured the grief as Lathan continued to talk about Lea and Galen.

"Darling, this is the food". Radit and Lathan's attention is distracted when Andra comes with their food

"Yeeyy!! Burger" Lathan cheered cheerfully as her order burger came and picked it up immediately.

"What's going on? Why would Radit put on a face like that?" asked the curious Andra after seeing Radit's facial expression. He slightly lowered his voice so that Lathan would not hear his words.

"none. It's just... I remember Lea. Lathan is big now. He started thinking about what my mother had said before. He was curious about Lea and Galen's brother. Lathan also wanted to know why mama said that Lathan is so similar to Galen's brother when he is my son" Radit replied Andra while looking at Lathan sadly.

Andra seemed to understand what Radit was saying. He tried to calm the husband.

"Sister Radit take it easy. Lathan is very smart and also kind. I'm sure that he'll understand the situation when you explain everything to him one day"

Andra tried to encourage Radit with a soft tone of speech and a sweet smile. He also clasped Radit's hand to give him strength.

"You're right. Thanks, babe". Radit smiled gently while holding Andra's hand which was currently holding her hand
