I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
127. Stale Threat

In front of him, a middle-aged man sat haughtily, staring intently at Jesica who looked a little indifferent. The man who is none other than Evrad, the father of Bram.

"I wouldn't just sit idly by if you didn't immediately remove my name from the blacklist" he said in his trademark haughty tone.

"And you're gonna bother Ariel again? Forcing her to marry your son?" cibir Jesica's.

"I'm still patient enough to respect you as an older person here, but if you go back to making trouble and go back to doing things that don't make sense, I could have lost the humanity that I gave you" Jesica said.

His face showed a firmness that was undaunted by the threat Evrad revealed.

"Ariel's married, do you think she's willing to marry someone she doesn't love?" said Jesica.

"Ariel loves my son" said Evrad, muddying with his colossal thoughts.

"Before, yes, before Bram hurt him. But that doesn't apply anymore, now she only loves one man, and that's her husband now" Jesica said.

"Omong empty,!" sergeant Evrad.

"Ariel loved my son, so much so that he was willing to do whatever I wanted just to be together, Bram my son," she said.

"Whatever do you want?" repeat Jesica with a sharp frown on her forehead.

"What are you talking about?" ask Jesica.

"I gave him one wish, and that was to get everyone to know who he was just by mentioning his name" Evrad said

"What she achieved, had nothing to do with that ridiculous thing," Jesica snorted.

"He was just a fool for covering up his identity and avoiding the media spotlight" Evrad continued without a burden. "I'm helping him so everyone knows who he is" he added.

"It's even more stupid that he went to this town and became a coach in a slum studio, training people who wouldn't even necessarily have the chance to join the lowest orchestra group" Evrad explained.

"ENOUGH,,!!!" snapped Jesica.

"One thing you should know" Jesica said with a sharp look.

"Ariel is my best friend, no one can touch her without my permission. Including you, old jackass sucks!" kataJesica while poking her index finger.

"It turns out that my guess is correct" he greeted her in a calm voice.

"You approached me and went into a circle that went against your heart just to protect it" Evrad said in a cynical voice.

"Impressive," he said flatly.

"Does that mean you love my son too?" tanyanya cold.

"Whatever the answer is, it won't benefit you, won't it?" welcome Jesica to immediately capture what Evrad's word means.

"Smart girl," praised Evrad smiling happily.

"But, there's something you should know, dear Mr. Evrad," said Jesica, smiling confidently.

"What erased Ariel's information from the media and closed the meeting was not me. But, I am grateful that help came from someone who has a higher position than me," said Jesica.

The statement made Evrad widen his eyes. He did not expect that someone who had a higher position than Jesica would help Ariel secretly, even until now he had no idea who that person was other than the fact that that person could do anything.

"Sure you know what that means, right?" connect Jesica.

"And you know what? I don't need to be respectful to you anymore because you don't deserve to get any respect from anyone including your own child" he said.

Evrad. Couldn't find the right words to reply to Jesica.

"If you still don't stop, then don't blame me if I reveal to the media about the violence you once committed against minors you once did!"

'DEGS,,,!'

Like being struck by lightning, Evrad was surprised not to play with what he had just heard. He woke up from his seat, staring at Jesica who was challenging him. It was as if he had all the evidence he needed to carry out his intentions.

"Now I ask very, very, very" Jesica said again as she got up from her seat.

"Please close that door from the outside!" pinta Jesica punched the door with her hand.

Evrad did not say anything even if he obeyed what Jesica asked. But he thought hard to find out where Jesica knew the secret he had been keeping for years. He realized that Jesica was not messing around with what he had just said.

'SRUUGHH,,,'

Jesica sat in a long silence after the door was tightly shut. He recalled anything that could help him identify who had erased all of Ariel's data that had been spread impeccably. It can even be said to be perfect without a single scratch of error.

"If such a person were on our side, and protecting Ariel, it would be very profitable. But_,,,"Jesica gulped her saliva.

"If someone like that turns around to attack, I don't know what I can do,"

Whatever the effort, Jesica still can not know anything, the man did things that are almost impossible to do, he can even eliminate his own tracks without a trace, so it is very difficult to track him.

"Hacking," murmured Jesica.

"Joel, Sam, only the two of them know about hacking, but their abilities are not as good as the person's. Who her? And why help Ariel? What's the connection?"

"Haiss, what are they doing now? If I call Ariel now, it's the same as if I'm bothering her" he murmured.

Jesica breathed a soft breath again, then smiled thinly considering her relationship with her best friend was much closer than before, even closer when they had not known Bram for the first time. Unknowingly, Jesica's eyes slowly closed, leaving a gentle, regular breath.

...>>>>>>>--<<<<<<<...

"Hey,, Sweety, get up,,,"

Joel's soft voice was heard with a soft clap on Ariel's cheek making her squirm a little.

"Mhmm,,,,?"

Not fully realized, Ariel opened her eyes slightly, seeing Joel sitting on the edge of the bed had been wearing her casual short suit.

"To be honest, I'd rather you sleep, but you also need to eat" said Joel, gently rubbing Ariel's head.

"Let's get up, and we'll have lunch" he continued.

Ariel raised her hand, showing her five fingers with her eyes still closed.

"Five more minutes," said Ariel a little raucous.

"Alright, I'll prepare some water for you to soak in," Joel greeted with a smile.

Joel goes to the bathroom, fills the bathtub with warm water. Having enough water temperature, he went back to his wife who was still sleeping because of his actions.

"Hey,, Sweety, let's get up! The water is ready" said Joel.

Ariel squirms, changes her position to sit and will move to get out of bed when her movement stops while grimacing with the pain in her body.

Joel soon realizes he is starting to get rid of the blanket covering Ariel's innocent body and lifts her towards the bathroom.

"It seems like there's a big baby in this house," the seductive Joel chuckled softly and immediately got a light blow on his chest.

"You think, because who am I like?" ariel Sulu.

Joel only laughed lightly while lowering Ariel slowly into the bathtub filled with warm water. His hands tied Ariel's long hair so as not to get wet, then dyed her.

"Save a little, I'll prepare lunch for you" said Joel.

"Uhm,, Bunny,,"

"Yes,?" greet Joel.

"Can I get something cold and fresh?" ariel Pinta.

"Whatever you want" said Joel.

A thin smile grew on Ariel's lips as she felt her husband's tenderness. He leaned with his eyes closed, hoping that the fatigue he felt left his body in a soak.

Without closing the door, Joel leaves Ariel soaking while he prepares lunch. Not to forget, he also ordered the food his wife asked for.

The food he ordered came right after he finished preparing the lunch. Soon he returned to his room to call his wife, take her to lunch together.

When Joel returned to the room, he saw Ariel had just finished wearing a sleeveless top with shorts above the knee. Her hair that was tied a little mess actually added a sweet impression on her face.

"It's over?" joel pretended to be disappointed.

"What?" welcome Ariel to turn to face her.

"Wish I was still in the bathroom?" continue while squinting.

"More than anything" Joel answered quickly.

"Emesum," Ariel said.

"It doesn't matter as long as I do it in front of you, does it?" answer Joel lightly.

Ariel patted her forehead, then pushed Joel out of the room towards the dining table that had served a simple lunch menu.

Ariel enjoyed lunch voraciously, as if to show that she was really hungry. Until Joel said something that made his hand movements stop.

"I've arranged a trip to the Caribbean for tonight,"

One sentence was enough to make Ariel shudder again, the movement of her hand that was feeding food into her mouth stopped just like that, replaced with a grim face.
