Chapter 210 - Disappointed Each Other
Chapter 210 - Disappointed Each Other
After slamming the table until the food was scattered on the floor, plates, and glasses shattered, Ethan fell silent with a broken feeling. Tears pooled in his eyes, slowly dripping down.
"Why did you betray me, Luna? Didn't you promise to stay faithful, even though many men teased you? Is this the reward for the freedom that I have given? You're mean, you have the heart... You're with him while I'm waiting here. You forgot our historic day and instead made a wound for me, is this a present for me?"
Ethan bowed his head in tears no matter how much the maids looked at him, he was fragile beneath his stout body. Luna's togetherness photo with Bastian broke him, he thought his wife would make love with her ex again, especially since the foundation of their household was fragile. Despair is now starting to grapple with his toughness, giving rise to feelings of certainty and or not being able to survive.
Richard, who saw his employer sad, approached. "Stand up, sir, everyone's watching you," he called, holding Ethan's shoulder.
"She's with another guy, and it's an important day for us," Ethan whispered.
Richard fell silent, trying to understand Ethan's feelings. "Patience, sir. It could be just a misunderstanding, we should go home now, calm yourself," he coaxed.
Ethan sighed, wiping his tears with his thumb. He immediately stood up and stared at the mess caused by his tantrum, feeling guilty that the restaurant party would feel wronged. the servants glanced at him in fear, perhaps even wanting to ask for compensation did not dare, because his cold gaze seemed to pierce the heart.
Ethan took a check from his tuxedo pocket, then he wrote a nominal amount of around Rp. 5.000.000.
"Give it to them for compensation," he cried, handing Richard the check.
"Yes sir."
Richard took the check and handed it to the restaurant manager, while Ethan walked limply toward the parking lot.
after handing a check to the restaurant manager, Richard took Ethan's smartphone which was only slightly cracked, maybe it could still be repaired without having to buy a new song phone, although for Ethan it was not a difficult thing.
Richard headed for the parking lot, then he got into the car where Ethan was waiting inside, sprawled out at the wheel.
"Back to the apartment or the house, sir?" asked Richard.
"Just an apartment," replied Ethan, because when he came home, he was afraid of going crazy and emotional.
'I'm not ready to meet you, Luna. It hurts so bad, tonight you broke the defenses of my heart, your faith in my love for me... I feel doubt,' he thought

Luna glanced at Bastian who occasionally smiled at her while eating, she suspected that her ex-lover had planned all this so that she was stuck in having dinner together because Fito had not yet returned from the toilet.
"Bastian."
"What?" Bastian asked.
"Are you on purpose, making me your advertising model until you replace Evelyn with me?" Luna asked back with a probing look.
Bastian smiled faintly, then devoured the steak he had sliced. "If so, will you be angry? Because this is the only way I can talk freely with you."
"Didn't you think twice? I'm a married woman, you shouldn't have tricked me like this!" Luna was annoyed, put the fork and steak knife on the plate with a bang, then got up from the chair.
"Luna, what's wrong if I just want to eat together. I didn't expect much more than this! I want to be friends with you!" Bastian held Luna's hand, so as not to leave.
Luna sighed, jerking her hand away from Bastian's grip. She glanced at her ex-boyfriend sarcastically.
'Why are men always selfish, leaving as they please, then coming back as they please without thinking about the woman's feelings!' She was annoyed.
"I just want us to be friends because I understand your loyalty to your husband. Don't be mad at me, Luna... please."
"Okay we'll just be friends, but I can't continue this dinner, because I have to go home soon," said Luna with a curt tone, of course, she still maintains her honor as Ethan's wife and doesn't want to make the two babies wait too long. ah, but Ethan already misunderstood.
"But, Luna...."
"That's it, Bass!" Luna interrupted Bastian's unfinished words. "You should be grateful that I accepted you as a friend, but I don't like the way you are. Sorry, I have to go home now," she continued later.
Luna immediately walked away leaving Bastian alone, she didn't care that Fito would look for her, because she was also annoyed with him. The beautiful model walked with hasty steps towards the parking lot.
"Johan, Jack, let's go home," she said as she reached the parking lot.
Jack immediately opened the passenger door, let Luna in, then closed it again. Then he entered right next to Johan who immediately drove his employer's car, heading home.

During the trip to the apartment, Ethan continued to choke with a blank stare. the man felt pain in his heart, really sore, did not expect that Luna would betray him.
"Take it easy, Richard," he called out when Richard was driving too fast.
"Sorry, sir, I thought you wanted to get to the apartment quickly," Richard replied then slowed Ethan's sports car.
Ethan reached into his tuxedo pocket, took the small box containing the diamond necklace he had prepared for Luna, then looked sadly. The man had already imagined his wife would wear the fancy necklace, which would make her look even more dazzling. without realizing it, Ethan was in tears again, tonight really feels bad for him, just like when Luna left him to Batam and asked for a divorce.
"Richard."
"Yes sir."
Ethan handed Richard the box containing the necklace. "Just give it to your wife," he cried.
Richard frowned, focused on driving. "No, sir. That's more fitting for your wife," he refused.
"She doesn't need this, Richard. If you don't want it, I'll just throw it away," Ethan said blankly, his hand moving to press the button beside him until the car window opened.
"No, sir!"
Richard immediately prevented, because he felt a pity if the expensive necklace was thrown away. "Just give it to me, I'll give it to my wife," he said.
Ethan closed the windshield again by pressing the button again, then handed Richard the box containing the necklace.
Although reluctant, Richard was forced to accept the necklace, rather than throwing it away. 'Tomorrow I will give it to Mrs. Luna,' he thought.
Arriving at the apartment, Ethan immediately entered the room and took off his clothes, changing into more relaxed clothes, because he wanted to sleep.
when he looked at the bed, Ethan's heart ached again when he saw the mattress he had sprinkled with fragrant red roses. His eyes glazed over at the sight, imagining he and Luna together, but it wouldn't be real and would remain a shadow.
'What should I do, Luna? What exactly do you want? Though, I'm trying to understand you,'
Ethan lay down on the bed filled with roses, he took Luna's negligee which he kept under the pillow, then hugged it while sobbing.
'This is how you feel when you see my portrait with Sarah, why does it hurt so much? I can't stand it if you choose another man and leave me! I can't, can't! I must fight to survive for the sake of our happiness and the children!"
Ethan slowly fell asleep in sobs while hugging Luna's negligee who once accompanied him to sleep.
