17 PART 17 ~ I'M NOT HER FATHER

"What are you still here for?" Briel shouted, making Erland surprised. He really couldn't understand it, Briel didn't have to scream. Erland didn't even want to linger in that place.

Erland shut the door hard and took a change of clothes for him. After that, he left the bedroom and returned to the guest room. He will shower in the guest room. He couldn't possibly take a bath in the bathroom in his bedroom, even if he lingered in that bedroom, Erland's anger rose because Briel was there. The bedroom he once loved so much and was so quiet now became unattractive to Erland after Briel entered the house. It turned out that Briel was not a woman to be underestimated. Erland doesn't know what's in her head? Erland felt the woman was crazy.

'I don't want my bedroom to be like that! But, I can't sleep in that bedroom with a noisy woman like her! Moreover, there is a painting of her lover there! I will destroy the painting! ' Erland muttered angrily.

Erland threw his clothes in any direction. After that, he entered the bathroom and stood under the shower. Relaxed, finally able to unwind after a few days of staying at the hotel due to the cancellation of his business trip abroad.

Why didn't Erland choose to return to his residence if he wasn't really on a business trip? Was it because Erland wasn't ready to return so soon? What would Briel say when she saw his return in such a short time while he was already carrying his suitcase when he left the residence.

That day, when Erland was on his way to the airport, Handoko contacted Erland and said that Handoko would go to take care of his work overseas. As for Erland? Handoko asked Erland to continue working at the office in Jakarta. Erland doesn't know why this decision was taken suddenly. It was clear from the start that Erland was in charge of the job. However, who can argue against Handoko's wishes? Handoko is like a god. Whatever if he wanted to, then Erland couldn't fight Handoko. The character of father and son is the same, but Erland still can't fight Handoko's strength, Handoko will still win.

Handoko not only took over Erland's work, but Handoko also asked Erland's secretary to send all important files needed to take care of all overseas work. Wasn't this decision too sudden? Handoko was never like this before. Erland also feels that it's not because Handoko doesn't trust him, but because Handoko has other goals so that Erland doesn't go abroad.

Erland finished taking a shower. After that, he came out of the bathroom and put on the clothes he took earlier in his bedroom.

Before long, an incoming call rang, Erland took out his mobile phone and saw Handoko's contact on the screen. Yes, the incoming call was from Handoko.

Erland rushed to answer Handoko's call. Do not take too long to answer Handoko's call or Handoko will delete her name from the name of the sole heir to the wealth owned by Handoko.

Will Handoko be that cruel to his child? Erland doesn't know, but Erland is very afraid that Handoko's threat will erase his name from the sole heir. That was the threat that always made Erland unable to move. Even so, Erland was not someone who was easily bullied by others. Only Handoko has the right to oppress him and he will not fight back, except for others.

'Yes, Dad? ' said Erland.

'Where are you? ' asked Handoko.

'At home, what's up? ' said Erland.

'Well, tomorrow your Mom will visit your residence, welcome her. Don't ignore her,' said Handoko in a tone as if to remind Erland that something would happen if Erland didn't welcome his mother well.

Erland sighed. Why did his mother come? he thought. However, could he ask that? Handoko will be angry to hear that. Handoko will issue a lecture that will make Erland's head feel like it's about to explode.

'Okay, sure, I'll welcome Mommy,' said Erland.

'Good, take your wife to dinner. Either way, don't let her be malnourished or Daddy will teach you a lesson! Don't let that happen! She is always treated well by her parents. Don't let her parents think you can't take care of her! ' said Handoko.

Erland frowned. What's wrong with Handoko? Why does Handoko sound so worried about Briel? thought Erland.

'She can feed herself. Why should I take care of her? After all, I don't care how her life in her family is. He's in my house, so she has to follow my rules! ' Erland mumbled.

Erland's mutter was heard by Handoko. Suddenly Handoko cleared his throat. It's true what Erland said, Handoko thought. Both are married and they have to manage the household in their way. As a man, Handoko didn't blame what Erland had just said. Shouldn't a wife be obedient to her husband?

'Okay, tell Daddy if your mom comes tomorrow,' said Handoko.

"Yes," Erland said and the call ended.

Erland threw his mobile phone on the bed. He will eat dinner first because his stomach feels hungry. Moreover, arguing with Briel earlier made his mind tired too.

Erland went to the dining table. There are no whereabouts of Briel.

As usual, Erland sat in his favorite chair. He started to open his plate and prepared to take the food.

"Sorry, sir. Miss Briel hasn't come down yet, don't you want to persuade her to have dinner?" asked Lely.

"I'm not her father, so I don't need to persuade her," Erland said nonchalantly.

"Hmm... But, Mrs. Briel hasn't eaten yet, sir. She also refuses to have dinner here," said Lely.

"Then? What does that have to do with me?" Erland asked.

Why did Lely tell him all that? Even Erland didn't want to know one bit.

"Sir, you can have dinner together, right? Now you have a wife accompanying you to dinner," said Lely.

Erland put his plate quite hard on the table. This then made Lely surprised. Erland looks angry.
