Jordi panicked because he heard something fall.
"Did Alice fall? Did she faint?" Jordi muttered to himself. He became very worried about Alice, who was still in the cupboard. He didn't even care about Hana's accusations. It felt like Jordi wanted to immediately throw Hana out of his apartment now. "This is none of your business, so you better get out of here. I still want to continue making love with the beautiful girl in my room. So please... don't disturb my fun!" Jordi pulled Hana's hand to get out of his apartment unit, even though Hana was still trying to hold on. Hana's energy was far less than Jordi's, so Hana was forced to leave Jordi's apartment unit feeling confused. "JORDI!" shouted Hana, who was still hitting the door of Jordi's apartment unit. Jordi no longer wants to serve Hana. Let Hana complain to her parents or Jordi's parents later. Jordi didn't care at all; the most important thing now was how Alice was doing. Jordi ran to his room and found Alice tidying up her bag, which had fallen. Hufft... it feels like Jordi can breathe a sigh of relief. "Sorry." That was the only word that could come out of Alice's tiny lips. "It's okay." Jordi smiled stiffly. "Where is Hana?" Alice lowered her voice. She had heard the door close tightly. Apart from that, Alice heard there was a commotion between Hana and Jordi. Alice definitely felt bad for both of them. "Already home." Jordi helped Alice tidy up the contents of her fallen bag. "Hmm... I want to go home first. Then mom can worry." Alice is still awkward with Jordi. It's not like they do usually, just relax as friend. "Don't go home yet!" Alice frowned as if asking, "why can't I go home?" "I'm afraid Hana is still ahead." Alice nodded. "Jordi..." "Hmm..." "I just remembered. There is CCTV here, right? I mean in this building." Jordi nodded. "Jor... ask to delete the CCTV recording. I don't want to get in trouble with your parents." Alice is aware of the consequences if Hana complains. Jordi's parents will probably find out who the woman is sleeping with Jordi. It could be dangerous for Alice. "What do you mean?" "Later your parents will be able to find out who slept with you. Especially if Hana tells them. I'm dead," said Alice panicked. "Okay. I'll take it to security now. You just stay here. Don't go anywhere!" "Okay." Alice nodded in agreement. Jordi immediately left his apartment unit and locked the door tightly. Jordi knew that Hana was still around his apartment and waiting for Jordi to come out with a woman. But Jordi didn't care at all. He ran towards the elevator and immediately pressed the B button when the elevator opened. Not long after, Jordi arrived at B floor, where the security and CCTV in the building were located. Knock! Knock! Knock! Jordi knocked on the door where the CCTV controls were located. "Afternoon, Mr. Jordi. What's wrong?" asked the head of security, Asep, to Jordi. "Sir... I want to see the CCTV. Can you help me?" Asep invited Jordi to enter the room. It's common for Jordi to go into the CCTV room to erase some traces of the recording there so that Asep is no longer confused. "Sir... I want to look for last night's recording. Hmm... maybe around nine to eleven at night," said Jordi giving instructions to Asep. "Okay sir." Asep started fiddling with the computer to find yesterday's recording according to what Jordi wanted. Jordi watched carefully; it turned out that around thirty minutes past nine, he and Alice, who both looked like people in heat, entered through the lobby door. "Please delete this, sir!" Jordi ordered. After that, he looked for CCTV footage again in other places, which showed his whereabouts with Alice when they entered the apartment lobby, elevator, and hallway of Jordi's apartment. All Jordi delete. It was clean without any residue, so there was no evidence that might incriminate Alice later. "That's all, sir." "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Asep." Jordi took out five hundred thousand notes and gave them to Mr. Asep. "To buy cigarettes!" said Jordi while smiling at Mr. Asep. "Thank you, Mr. Jordi." Mr. Asep immediately pocketed the money in his trousers pocket. Jordi ran again towards his apartment unit. He had wanted to go to the cafe in the lobby of his apartment, but it seemed like it would be better to cook with Alice. * Jordi opened the door to his apartment unit, and the smell of Alice's cooking was served on the dining table. "It smells really good. I'm hungry!" Jordi closed the apartment unit door, locked it, and immediately rushed to the dining room. Jordi's stomach was rumbling and screaming for food. "Eat first. I'm hungry too. There are only a few ingredients in your refrigerator, so I'll just cook what I have," explained Alice as she took off her apron. "Relax. I'll eat whatever you cook." Jordi smiled and immediately enjoyed Alice's cooking. Omelet mixed with green onions and sausage. There was no rice because there was no rice in Jordi's apartment. Moreover, only Alice cooks in Jordi's apartment; no one else, so Alice decides to put food that doesn't spoil quickly and is easy to prepare. Alice joins Jordi for a meal together. Even though the atmosphere was still awkward, they quite enjoyed this togetherness. "Have you told your mom?" "Already." "What did you say?" Jordi asked curiously. "I said you still have a fever. So I'll take care of you first," said Alice with her mouth full of food. "Alice." "What?" "I think we should talk calmly about what happened last night." "Lazy. Never mind, no need to discuss it anymore. Just pretend that nothing happened." Alice rolled her eyes. When her heart had calmed down, Jordi spoke again about the upsetting incident. Alice's head felt dizzy. "Hey... don't be like that, Alice!" Jordi protested. According to him, this is very important for himself and Alice. "Don't worry, Jor. As long as there's no CCTV, there won't be any evidence that we messed around last night. And you've also been wearing a turtleneck for the past few days. Your neck is full of kiss marks," Alice pointed at Jordi's neck. Alice felt embarrassed herself because she saw Jordi's very messy appearance. She doesn't know where else Alice put kissmarks on Jordi's body. "You too." Jordi chuckled amusedly. He didn't expect that he would make such a serious kissmark on Alice's neck. "It's bad... there's actually something strange about us, right? Why are we like this?" Alice shook her head. "It looks like someone put drugs in your drink," said Jordi. "Hmm... yesterday we only drank orange juice. So there's no chance of getting drunk." "Yesterday the only person in the room was Vania, right?" Jordi thought again. "Yeah. I really remember her saying that she had a stomach ache." "Wow, Vania is really impudent!" Jordi clenched his fist. Very annoyed with Vania's actions. "Then what do you want to do, Vania?" Alice is too lazy to talk about Vania. "Strange... why did she have to put medicine in your drink, huh?" "She should have given you that medicine to drink, right? That's strange." "What do you mean by that?" Jordi didn't understand what Alice refers to. "Vania really likes you. It would be really strange if she put medicine in my drink." "Hmm... what does she mean, she wants to get rid of you by giving you medicine?" "Ah... then I slept with a guy... then I got depressed... then I got pregnant. Is that so?" Alice looked at Jordi in complete disbelief. "Yes, that's what happened. But in this case, you slept with me. Not with another guy or random guy at nightclub." Jordi scratched his head, which didn't itch. "It's the same. I'm no longer a virgin with anyone I sleep with." "Yes, it would be better if you slept with me." "What do you mean?" Alice looked at Jordi as if she wanted to eat her friend. "Haha... at least I'm a responsible person. I already said that I want to marry you." Jordi giggled. "Not funny at all. When you get me home, take me to the pharmacy. I want to buy emergency contraceptive pills." "You don't want to be pregnant with my child?" Jordi looks sad."Forgive us, Abi," Norita interjected, truly at a loss for words to be forgiven by Abi and her family. After what they did to Jordi and for Jordi's safety. Norita feels very indebted. But, she realized that her child's married life couldn't be forced. "Sorry? Then what about my child's mental health? How will you take responsibility for it?" Abi asked, full of emotion and sarcasm. "What can we do to make up for everything?" Alexander looked resigned. It's up to Abi how he wants it. As long as he can do it, Alex and Norita will do anything to get forgiveness from Abi and his family. After all, they are good friends. "Are Jordi and Anita getting married?" Abi stated firmly. Meanwhile, his wife next to him said nothing. "It can't, Abi." "Why?" "Jordi ... marrying under duress is very bad." Not good for Anita either. "Your excuses are too many, Nori. Anita is very much in love with Jordi. She is even now sulking in her room after you said that Jordi has a child with that cheap wom
"Hmm ... later we will talk alone, Darling. They might be very angry because it seems like we are playing with their daughter." Alexander interrupted.Norita nodded."I am very sorry, dear. If only I hadn't been so stubborn back then. Surely five years ago we would have been happy with Luke too.""No one knows. Good or bad fate, we still have to go through it."Norita nodded slowly, agreeing with her husband's words."Tomorrow we are going back to Singapura. We need to talk to Abi and his wife."Alexander nodded his head.*Jordi and Alice's bridal suite"Wow ... the room is really huge." Alice was very impressed by the size of the room and the decorations in the hotel, which felt very luxurious."Of course. To nurture love, a cozy place is needed.""Ah, you always have something to say.""Let's take a shower first, so we feel fresh," suggested Jordi."You go first."Jordi has already taken off his tie and jacket. Only the shirt and pants are left to be taken off. Meanwhile, Alice, th
"I will take care of it. Tomorrow, you and Alice just go to the embassy to take care of your wedding. Uhm, but first, I will call the officiant so that you can have a religious marriage."Jordi smiled."Forgive us for being stubborn all this time."Jordi immediately hugged Alexander tightly."Thank you for changing your mind about Alice, Dad."Alexander nodded slowly."Where is mom?" Jordi looked around and didn't find Norita."Sleeping in the room with Luke. You mom is very tense and she is very afraid that Anita will hurt Luke.""Does that mean Alice is in the room with Mom?"Jordi's eyes widened."No problem. Your mother won't bite Alice.""It's not that she won't bite, I'm just afraid that she might intimidate Alice.""Your mother has changed. Don't worry. Fortunately, you and Alice have Luke, so your mother's heart has softened. Her priority now is Luke.""Alright, I believe you."Meanwhile, inside the room, Norita opened her eyes and saw Alice."Sorry. I didn't mean to disturb yo
"Why, Nori? You look very panicked," Alexander said as he stepped out of the room."Where is Luke?""Sleeping," Alexander replied briefly."Thank goodness." Norita could breathe a sigh of relief. Her grandchild was sleeping, so she could talk more easily with Alexander."What's really going on? From the room, I couldn't hear clearly what you were saying." Alexander was curious."Anita. She's gone crazy. What should I do?" Norita was so tense as she looked at her husband."Calm down. Don't panic just yet! Tell me what happened.""She was very angry because I supported Jordi and Alice's relationship.""Let's sit down first."Alexander then brought Norita to sit beside him. After they sat down, Alexander held Norita's hand tightly."Don't panic, Darling. All of this is because of us, and we really need to tidy up all the mess we've made.""But, I don't want our children and grandchildren to become victims later, Darling!"Norita's eyes looked very scared."Calm down. We have to resolve t
Meanwhile, Norita immediately called Alexander to watch over Luke. The woman had to talk to Anita and resolve all the chaos she had caused from the beginning."Why was that child told to go into the room? Are you afraid that I will hurt him?" Anita asked very sarcastically. Her gaze was so angry towards Norita as if Norita had now become her enemy. Not the future mother-in-law who always supported her in getting Jordi."It would be better if adult conversations were not heard by children," replied Norita, trying to stay calm.Anita smiled as if mocking Norita."Anita ... Luke is indeed Jordi's child," Norita interjected, trying to speak gently to the woman in front of her who looked emotional."How can you be sure, Auntie? Have you done a DNA test?" Anita asked as if trying to make Norita doubt Luke and Alice.Norita shook her head.Anita chuckled with satisfaction. According to her, there was a gap she could exploit to make Norita suspicious of Alice and immediately discard the idea
"Can I come in, Auntie?" asked Anita, her face already swollen."Y-yes. Come in."Norita invited Anita to enter her room. Actually, she thought Alice and Jordi were coming, but it turned out to be Anita."What's wrong, Nita? Sit down first."Anita nodded her head. The two women sat facing each other."Have you met Jordi yet, Aunt?" asked Anita, looking flustered."Yes""How is it, Aunt? Have you managed to convince Jordi to leave Alice?" Anita asked hopefully.Norita took a deep breath. Actually, she feels sorry for Anita who has been by Jordi's side for the past five years. Indeed, Norita admits, all of this is her fault. If she hadn't been so stubborn about separating Jordi from Alice, none of this would have happened."Aunt ... aunt, why are you silent?" Please answer me!"Sorry, Nita.""Sorry? What does Aunt's apology mean?""Jordi ... cannot be separated from Alice. Auntie cannot do anything." N
"Yeah, yo can just move in here. Later, buy a house near Alice's house. That way, you can come every day," suggested Jordi, which only confused Alice.Alice already knows that Norita is somewhat scary. Now Norita is even being asked to buy a house near her house? It could turn into a disaster later on."Alright then. Look for properties for sale near Alice's house. I am moving in with your dad.""And what about the company? Does that mean mom doesn't want to take care of it anymore? Are you no longer willing to take care of it?""Retired. I am better off with my grandchildren. But at first, I will still help. It's time for me and your dad to have fun without work, I just want to play with Luke. You take care of the company yourself."Jordi shook his head. Can't believe how Norita's attitude changed one hundred eighty degrees. It feels like just this morning she was saying that Luke wasn't Jordi's child, but now ... even Luke is being carried
"But ... not kidnapped, right? That's my child!" Jordi firmly warned Norita."Of course not. My handsome grandson like this, how could I kidnap him? Enough ... you take care of your own business. We just want to play with Luke. "Tonight, Luke will also sleep with me," Norita insisted."HAH!" Jordi was left speechless. Alice also became confused."Please bring Luke a change of clothes. We want to play with Luke. You want Luke, right?" replied Norita.Luke became confused. The child looked towards Alice to seek approval from his mother."Can I play with Grandma and Grandpa, Mom?"Alice was actually a bit confused. She was also afraid that Luke would be taken away by Norita and Alexander."Calm down. We won't take Luke away. We just want to play and be with Luke at the hotel. Is it okay, Alice?" Alexander tried to reassure his future daughter-in-law.Alice still looked confused."Tomorrow, just pick up Luke at the hotel. Tr
Alexander then came to Melbourne to meet Norita. But, he was more curious about his grandchild, who supposedly looked like Jordi when he was little.They went to the school where Luke was."That, dear. That's what they call Luke. Our grandchild," Norita remarked, very happy to see Luke even from a distance."His face looks very much like Jordi's.""Yes. I immediately recognized Luke as soon as I saw the child's face.""Do you want to hug him?""I really want to hug Luke. But ...""Why? Are you afraid that Jordi or Alice will get angry?"Norita nodded her head.Alexander took a deep breath."How about you just make peace with Jordi and Alice? We can help take care of Luke and maybe reduce our guilt for being too busy making money and neglecting Jordi when he was still a child.""Is that possible?" Norita seemed to have lost all hope."Of course, it can be done. But, you have to lower your ego. Don't forcefully try to separate Jordi from Alice. "Surely they will also relent if you stop
