Of course Leonard's parents immediately agreed to Ayumi's request and thought that the woman of Japanese descent was the ideal daughter-in-law to be proud of than his son's serial wife. Moreover, last night his son was forced to marry a poor woman because of the threat from the young master Zaydan.

"Of course we agree that you should marry Leonard because you have always expected that, Ayumi. Moreover, Leo has always loved you. Every day is like a hot worm because he is confused about not being able to see you when you go to Japan. leave Jakarta," said Rizal Abraham with a twinkle of happiness.

He thinks that if his son marries Ayumi, who is the only child of a well-known businessman in Japan and has fantastic wealth, it will change the economy of his family, which is being hit by bankruptcy. Hoping that later his son will take over all the businesses of the Ayumi family who is the only heir.

'Hopefully later Leonard can seize the company which is currently still in the hands of young master Zaydan. Luckily my stepdaughter married her sister, so

our company which is in danger of going bankrupt has been saved by young master Zaydan,' muttered Rizal Abraham who was currently looking behind him, following the direction of the future son-in-law's index finger.

Ayumi, who was initially very satisfied and pleased with the answer from the middle-aged man who would become her father-in-law, frowned when she felt that she had never seen a female figure near the door.

"Who is that woman, Keenan?" asked Ayumi who now turned her head to the figure of the man on her left. Frowning because her curiosity has filled the brain at this time.

Keenan, who is sitting next to Ayumi, has not taken his attention away from the figure of a woman he has loved since childhood. In fact, he didn't blink at all, staring at the flawless white face with the perfect sculpture. His main dream is to make his first love his last love.

All of that will come true after he marries Ayumi. Reflexively he turned his attention to the index finger of the Japanese woman and pretended to smile. Even though he really wanted to curse when he saw the figure of a woman standing near the door. It's like saying, the mood that had been good suddenly turned bad when he saw Arabella.

'Since earlier that cheap woman never came when I was waiting for it, but after I felt very happy to see Ayumi, she appeared instead. It sucks!' Leonard cursed in his heart and intended to open his mouth, answering Ayumi's question.

However, before he could explain, he saw his mother get up from the chair and walk over to Arabella. Acting like he really loves the woman he hates so much.

"Why are you standing there, honey? Let's have breakfast and consider this our own home because we are family," said Naylasari, who was now embracing the shoulders of her son's wife.

Then looked at Ayumi because she didn't want to arouse even the slightest suspicion. "Introduce yourself, Ayumi. This is the daughter of a distant relative from Palembang. Her parents are currently on a business trip for six months in New York. So, stay here for a while instead of being entangled in a free relationship because she lives only with her maid. "

Turning to look at Arabella and giving a code, to greet Ayumi, who is considered the ideal daughter-in-law and can be proud of her socialite friends.

Meanwhile, what Arabella currently feels is like she is shooting a movie because everyone is acting in their respective positions in front of this beautiful woman who seems to be considered a queen.

'I'm like a stepdaughter who has to always act happily around people who are mean to me. Turns out I felt a very famous song in the old days,' Arabella muttered, now remembering the song with the title stepmother.

Arabella just acts like an artist who acts like everyone else. Now, she cracked a smile and stretched out her hand in front of the woman Leonard loved.

"I'm Arabella. Nice to meet you," said Arabella who didn't glance at the figure of the man next to Ayumi. However, she could understand that at this moment the man who was hated so much from earlier was staring at her with intense hatred. Same with her.

Ayumi, who immediately stood up, now welcomed the outstretched hand. "I'm Ayumi. We can be friends for sure. It's nice to have friends the same age. We're the same age, right? What year were you born?"

When Arabella intended to answer, she couldn't because she saw Leonard had gently tugged Ayumi's wrist to sit back on the chair and she knew that this intimate sight would be seen every day. Even though she wasn't at all interested in meddling in Leonard's personal affairs, she still felt very uncomfortable seeing the attitude of her siren husband who seemed to be deliberately trying to stir things up.

'Ayumi is a beautiful woman, gentle and kind. It was unfortunate that she became the wife of such an arrogant and cruel man. If Ayumi sees the real nature of this bastard, maybe she will regret getting married,' murmured Arabella who now landed her body on the chair next to Ayumi after walking around the table because she didn't want to sit in the row of Leonard's parents.

Leonard, who had been feeling very hungry, felt that the conversation from Ayumi and Arabella was very unimportant and also not at all interested in knowing when the woman was born.

"It's better to continue talking later because I'm already very hungry. The two of you can get to know each other later after breakfast. Besides, I have to go to the company to become the slave of that bastard young master Zaydan! if Zaydan were in the lead, maybe I could have a stroke seeing his face every day."

When he finished speaking, Leonard glanced sarcastically at Arabella because he knew that the woman he married last night was secretly in love with the man he hated the most, so he spoke like that with the aim of mocking.

Ayumi had indeed heard the news of the collapse of Leonard's company on social media one year ago because her best friend had stabbed people in the stomach.

"Take a lesson from all your actions, Keenan. You used to stab the stomach of the man who had an affair with your lover, right? Don't do stupid things again that will destroy your future," said Ayumi who tried to remind Leonard so that in the future something similar would not happen when she is telling the truth.

'Hopefully Leonard doesn't get angry and doesn't kill my lover when I'll be honest with him about my plan to avoid the matchmaking of my parents and take advantage of it,' Ayumi muttered who was currently staring intensely at Leonard's face to find out the answer from those shiny sharp irises.
