The commotion again occurred in the morning, the twins were never silent for a minute. Katryn and Allard had just descended and were greeted with a scream of Nyle scolding the twins. The two sat at the dinner table, as is the tradition of a husband-wife couple eating on the same plate.
“Sorry, Mr and Mrs.” Selena's got eyes all watching her.
“What's up, Son?” ask Caroline gently.
“Sorry, Mistress. There was a delivery problem together last night.” All eyes turned to Allard.
Allard put down his spoon and left without a word. Selena follows the master, while Katryn watches Selena so that the woman disappears from her sight.
“The shipment failed?” ask Lucas.
“It looks like so,” says Fillbert.
“Not usually fail,” reply Lucas.
“Maybe deliberately thwarted by someone!” Nyle's connecting the conversation.
“That's you!” fillbert said, Nyle chuckled as if he didn't feel guilty.
Business talks related to illicit transactions are commonly discussed in front of families. Therefore, they do not hesitate to talk in front of their children.
After breakfast, they moved to the family room. Tonight the whole family will be home, except for Ruldolf who chose to remain here for the next few days.
Katryn listened to the parents' conversation that Evelyn would be betrothed to one of Spain's wealthy businessmen. Here he just realized, the average Helbert family married because of matchmaking. Since childhood their soul mate has been determined by the elders. Katryn heard that only Fillbert and Allard refused the match.
Now Evelyn is against her grandfather's wishes, but Nyle is sticking to her stance. The girl asked Fillbert for help, of course the father defended his daughter.
“Why are all your descendants always against me?!” grouse Nyle.
“Yes, just like you, Dad. You have always been against your father, too,” Cassandra said. Fillbert chuckles.
There's something Katryn can't understand in this family. They can be like a family without the slightest defect, for example power struggles that are often the main problem for rich families. The proof after the announcement of the baby in the womb will be a successor, Katryn did not hear opposition from the family. Judging from the facial expressions, they accepted.
“What do you think?” asked Ruldolf whispering to her, Katryn shook her head.
“Each family has its own problems.” Katryn turned to Ruldolf.
“Where do you know I thought of that?” Ruldolf chuckles.
“Taking!”
As they talked, Cassandra asked him to do something in the kitchen. Turns out Aunty Allard's the only one who's really good at cooking. Cassandra tells a lot about her cake business that is now spread in New York.
“How?” Katryn nodded enthusiastically.
“I like, the sweetness is fitting.”
“That's the twins' favorite cookies.” Katryn.
“Leon and Neon funny, always make laugh.” Cassandra laughs.
“You could say that, but they are more angry. Aunty is often dizzy with their endless behavior,” complained Cassandra.
“At least they entertain ba―”
“Listen, Selena!” someone's scream cuts Katryn's word.
“No!”
“Selena, when did you receive me?”
“Keynand,” said Cassandra who memorized her son's voice.
Katryn frowned confused, what is the relationship between Selena and Keynand? As far as Katryn knew, Keynand was very talkative. So, couldn't Keynand have said that if they didn't have more closeness than friends?
“Looks like my guess was right,” said Cassandra.
“Alleged?” Carissa nodded.
“Keynand rejects application with Lyla. I think my son likes Selena.” Katryn nodded in understanding.
“Yaudah, yuk!” Katryn nodded back.
As they walked towards the living room. Selena stood in front of the living room, asking Katryn for a moment. Selena did not dare to look at Mother Keynand, as if understanding Cassandra leaving them.
“We talk in the park only,” Katryn said.
In the garden Katryn sits on a chair facing directly towards the pool. Her legs ached too much, and Selena stood beside her.
“Sit, don't stand!” pinta Katryn's. Selena looked doubtful, Katryn told Selena to sit next to her.
“I'm sure, Mr. Allard has explained to you about our past,” Selena said. Katryn smiled faintly, this is the reason why this woman asked for her time.
“So, what do you want to say, Selena?”
“Sorry before, Mistress. I just want you to see me just like Uncle Jo. I don't want you to see me as a former fiancee father.”
“Honestly, it feels strange to hear the word fiancee,” said Katryn slowly.
“Sorry, Mistress.” Selena down.
“Selena, you don't deserve to apologize to me. You were engaged when Allard and I were not in any relationship,” Katryn explained. They remained silent for quite a while.
“Father, love you so much.”
“I'm actually curious, why do you call him father? I see, you're quite close to the nuclear family and I've heard you call him mister,” Katryn said.
“You haven't answered the core of my question, Selena.”
“Father asked for it, she limited her relationship with other women, including me. Our engagement I used to think was just status, father never thought I was more.”
“More will never touch to intimate, Selena.”
“Master touched me because he was drunk.” Katryn closed her eyes, a very sensitive topic.
“You love him?” ask Katryn.
“Sorry, for that. I promise to eliminate that feeling,” Selena said bowed shyly.
“Forget my husband, Selena. Yes, you have a past relationship, but do not ever think to snatch my husband,” Katryn said.
“I promise not to,” reply Selena mean it.
“Good then, you can be my friend!”
“Thank you, Madam. You are indeed a woman who can keep up with father,” Selena said.
Katryn stretched out her hands, Selena was initially scared, but ventured. Katryn hugged the woman, Selena cried in her arms. Katryn was cold to this woman, as a form of protection so that this woman did not see her as weak.
Today Katryn can see for herself, if Selena has a very sincere love for Allard. It is not love that is obsessed. Katryn was calm about it.
“Quite sad, crybaby.” Katryn took off their embrace.
“I'm not crybaby!”
“You're crying, that's proof that you're a crybaby!” tease Katryn. Selena wiped her tears, then smiled happily at Katryn.
“By the way, what is your relationship with Keynand?” ask Katryn.
“No!”
“Do not lie!”
“I'm honest!”
“Oke, you're honest. But why are you arguing with him? I heard you guys arguing,” Katryn said.
“Keynand rejects her matchmaking, Mistress.”
“You?”
“Come, Mistress. I don't understand, what he saw from me.”
“Selena, I won't interfere. Only one I want to tell you, if you accept Keynand, I will support you!” katryn smiled sincerely, then left Selena alone.
Selena rejected Keynand, because she still loves Allard, right? Logically, Katryn would do the same, as she did, she rejected Earland for waiting for Allard.
“My wife and ex-fiancee have made up, hm?” A voice Katryn recognized greeted her hearing. No flirting there, just flat. Katryn had no intention of responding, she passed the husband.
...***...
Katryn has been busy in recent days with her online lectures. It all started the way it was, Allard went to work and came home in the afternoon. Then, the man takes care of his business needs in a dark world that Katryn doesn't understand.
Ruldolf is still at home here, sometimes he helps Allard clean up the enemies.Since all of Helbert's family come home and are busy on their own affairs. This mansion, it became very quiet.
“Mrs!”
“What's up, Selena?”
“Are you done?” Katryn.
“My fingers make a cake, please!” pinta Selena with puppy eyes.
“What's wrong with you?”
“Ayolah..” pinta Selena apply.
“Alright!”
Selena had prepared all the ingredients and did not give Katryn permission to join her making. Katryn was asked to give directions only.
Katryn gave the orders at Selena's request. Before long, Ruldolf came with Allard. Allard sat beside him and Ruldolf sat beside Allard. Katryn saw Selena stiff on the spot, she looked down shyly at Allard.
“What are you doing, Selena?” ask Ruldolf.
“Kue!”
“Stir until flat, slowly.” Katryn gave Selena instructions. Allard notices Katryn who keeps giving Selena directions. Katryn realized, just inhabit it.
“You ignored your husband?” Katryn smiled sweetly. Allard let out a rough sigh, Katryn returned with an annoying smiley face.
Uncompleted Katryn directs, Allard pulls Katryn slowly into their room, she still remembers the pregnant wife. Otherwise, perhaps Allard would have been rude because Katryn ignored him.
“Do not move. Wait here!” Allard said as soon as they were in the room and bowed Katryn down on the sofa.
It only took 10 minutes, Allard had a shower and dressed. He approached Katryn, then kissed her nose.
“I don't like you ignoring me!” allard kissed both cheeks.
“I don't like you being more important to others!” Allard kissed her lips.
“Don't ignore me again, understand?!” Katryn nodded innocently and smiled.
“Oh, God. I hate that smile!” grouse Allard and kiss Katryn's lips rough.
