..

Of course, that's not what Winola wanted. No matter how crazy Winola has done, this beautiful woman will not want her illicit relationship to be spread throughout the country. It was a disgrace that would not only destroy his career but would also destroy his extended family.

Winola couldn't let that happen because of the stranger in front of her!

Winola doesn't care if Henry knows everything Winola has been doing, as long as the world only knows Winola Meyer who is holy, clean like an angel. Because Winola is also sure that's what Gary wants too.

Gary always supports Winola unconditionally and always comes when she needs to caress the most. That is also the reason Winola can't let Gary go. Because Gary's presence was more than enough to cover him with affection.

However, the idea of ​​being engaged to Henry Lehmann sounded far-fetched.

Why marry that demon incarnate man?

"How can I live with a vile human like you?" commented Winola shaking her head in disbelief. Stay graceful and beautiful.

If the figure of the man standing in front of him is terrible. So the presence of Winola is an angel figure who came to save the devil back on the right path. As if it was easy for Winola.

"I should have told you that. You sold yourself to a man who already has a wife and children? How sad. Isn't my offer worthy enough to be considered? One day you will surely thank me." Henry replied seriously.

Winola was silent for a while. Contemplating and weighing many things.

"Fine then, I agree. As long as you don't interfere or prevent me from seeing or having contact with Gary?" said Winola at last. Smiling slyly like Henry.

"Agree," Henry replied then reached out for a handshake.

So, that was the process of the brief engagement between Winola and Henry that Gary would eventually find out about.

...

Technically, Gary worked at Winola's agency as a driver a few months ago. Previously, Gary worked from one shipping company to an insurance company. However, none have survived more than a year.

Not because Gary lacks formal education, but because Gary's personality is too much for freedom that makes Gary unable to develop while building a career. More accurately, making Gary look like a homeless man.

After work, Gary plopped down on a soft sofa in front of the TV, turning it on without intending to watch. Just fill the silence of the house while waiting for his wife to come home from work.

While her son...

"Dad... Leon wants a new robot toy like Rudi, can you buy it tomorrow, please?" Gary's son whined running from the direction of the room attacking his back.

"Robot? Can you see the picture, dad?" Gary replied suddenly excited again.

Leon timidly took out a piece of toy brochure paper from behind his back. Handing the paper to his father with a forced smile. Between fear and joy. Fear that his father will be angry because he has no money to buy or happy because he hopes that he will grant his wish this time.

Of course, a child's wish was very simple. Unfortunately, the toy was quite expensive and at the moment Gary's wallet clearly couldn't afford it. But Gary still smiled at his son.

"I'm going to buy the robot for Leon, but not today. Wait until you have enough money, okay?" said Gary gently, stroking the top of his son's head carefully.

Somehow, Gary couldn't bear to be rude or harsh to his son. After all, Leon is his biological son with Isana. An extraordinary woman but not capable enough to subdue Gary's wild nature from the start.

"Is it very soon or tomorrow or next week?" Leon still demanded with certainty.

It wasn't the first time Gary had made such a promise and the results were just sweet promises. Gary knew very well that he was just a lousy father. A father who can't even afford to buy toys for his son. A father who only and always thinks of his pleasure.

"Tomorrow, I promise tomorrow I will buy it for you," Gary replied solemnly.

Even though the first day was still two weeks away, Gary didn't care. For the first time, Gary intends to ask Winola for money to buy her child's toys. For some reason, Gary felt up to it.

"Really? It's fun...." Leon shouted with joy and then ran around the room.

Naturally, Gary smiled happily. Happiness that not many Gary finds at home. And when he was alone with Leon, all the negative energy from outside that Gary brought into the house suddenly disappeared in an instant. There is only a feeling of suffocating joy.

"So this is what a real home feels like? How come I've never felt it before." Gary whispered to himself.

"Of course, if you'd come home more quickly then you'd be happier." chimed in a voice Gary had known all too well for the past eight years.

Isana was standing leaning against the door still complete with work clothes and a large bag containing who knows what. For a long time, Gary never cared what his wife did. But this time, Gary felt very curious.

"How come you can go home early?" inquired Gary suspiciously.

In everyday life, Gary tries his best to act as natural as the role of husband and father in the house. After all, they were both families that Gary had now. Gary's parents have long passed away, as well as Isana's parents.

"The big boss where I work comes home early and we all go home early too. Then you alone?" Isana asked back.

Because Gary doesn't usually come home early, especially since it's still late. It was like something Gary would never do on a weekday. There are only weekends and that's if it's not taken away by Gary's all-day sleep.

"You can say the same as you. You know actress Winola, don't you? Now I'm her driver and today she asked me to come home early because she has family matters that she doesn't want to be disturbed by work." Gary's story is honest.

For some part of Gary's life, he never once lied to Isana about any of his activities. Except and of course about his forbidden relationship with Winola. Gary was afraid that Isana would die standing up if she heard that.

"So they're engaged?" asked Isana.

...
