Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 328 - Edward's Apartment (2)

"Father misses you, so I thought of bringing him here, who knows the feeling of missing him lessens, right Dad?" said Edrick again to his father.

Mr. Javier nodded, "Have you forgotten me?"

Edward chuckled, "That's impossible, Dad. I can't forget you. I just arrived yesterday afternoon, I'm so tired and I haven't been able to visit you. I was planning to visit tomorrow, but you came today," he replied while rubbing the back of his neck that didn't itch.

Mr. Javier glanced at Edrick, then looked back at Edward while nodding his head. "I see, I thought you didn't care about me anymore," said Mr. Javier with a sigh. Leaning his body on the sofa.

Byanca who saw it was silent, immediately went to the kitchen to make a drink. But before that, she entered a room to confirm something and then left there.

"When I have free time, I often visit here. Today, I didn't expect to meet you," said Edrick.

Hearing that, Edward just laughed.

"By the way, who is that woman? Have you already found on your future wife?" Mr. Javier asked Edward. While Edrick, his gaze scanned the entire room, he looked for the whereabouts of someone who had not entered his sights. Did not Marlin says that Edward was with a boy?

"Ah she's my lover, Dad," Edward said again with a smile on his face.

"How were you in Indonesia? Looks like your life is very happy," said Edrick again looking at his older brother.

"Of course."

At the same time, Byanca came with a tray containing a few drinks.

"Drink please, sir," she said as she set the glasses on the table.

Mr. Javier and Edrick just nodded in response.

"Are you two in this apartment?" asked Edrick after tasting the drink.

"Of course, it's just the two of us here," Edward responded quickly, silencing Byanca who seemed to want to make a sound.

"Why do you ask like that?" he added again.

Hearing that, Edrick smiled, rubbing the back of his neck gently, "Ah, it's okay. I'm just asking. I thought you also brought your friends here," replied Edrick. Right now, his mind was filled with all sorts of questions, Marlin was his confidant, he couldn't have lied to him right?

Seeing Edward and Byanca's normal attitude, it would be hard for her to believe what Marlin said to him because they both seemed to be hiding nothing. Everything in this place looks normal and fine.

After a while, Mr. Javier and Edrick said goodbye.

"Don't forget to pay a visit to the house," said Mr. Javier before walking out the door.

"Okay, Dad. Byanca and I will visit later," Edward replied.

After leaving Edward's apartment, Edrick looked uneasy. He hadn't told everything Marlin had told him to his father.

"Daddy," he called.

"What is it? Is something bothering you?" asked Mr. Javier.

"I don't know where to start."

"What do you mean?" Mr. Javier stopped in his tracks.

"Marlin told me before that they were with a small child, but you saw it for yourself, it was just the two of them. Do you think Marlin lied to me?" said Edrick guessing.

"Is what you said true? Why didn't you say that earlier? We're out of there already, it would be strange if we went back to confirm that," replied Mr. Javier.

"That's because we're going to visit Edward's apartment, Dad. I think later you will also know this without me telling you. I just didn't think that what Marlin said was wrong."

"We'll check it out another time. Don't let him suspect that we are watching him as secretly," said Mr. Javier.

Hearing that, Edrick nodded and didn't respond anymore.

By now they were out of the majestic building. A man comes and approaches them. He is Marlin.

"Take us to the house," Edrick said to the man.

"Let the others stand guard here, I have something to tell you," he added.

"Yes, sir," replied Marlin.

Leaving the Waterloo area, the black car sped down the city streets. No talk was heard above the car. Silent and quiet. Only the occasional sigh could be heard.

Marlin was also silent. The man did not dare to make any sound, although he was very curious about what Mr. Edrick wanted to say to him.

"Princess Claire's wedding is imminent, right?" suddenly Mr. Javier asked.

"That's right, Daddy. Their wedding will take place three days later," replied Edrick.

Mr. Javier nodded hearing that, "How is the condition of our company and business on the black market? Did Brian do it well?" asked Mr. Javier. His gaze focused on the vehicles passing by during the trip.

"I heard things are slowly getting better. After you chose not to disturb the Smith family anymore, conditions on the black market have also started to return to how they used to be, as well as the movement of the BlackJack members," replied Edrick.

"Hmm, Black Jack does have a great influence on the black market. Their presence seems to be a counterbalance," muttered Mr. Javier.

A sigh of relief escaped Mr. Javier's lips. If he had known all this from the start, that Mr. X protects the Smith family, he won't do anything to them. Maybe he won't take part in the contest that Mr. Aaron has held.

While Mr. Javier was in the hospital, he thought a lot. He realized many things, it turned out that all this time he had been so greedy, arrogant, and arrogant. With his power, he underestimated many things. He also just realized that he is nothing, and the power and wealth that he has are not much.

Not only that, but he also felt guilty for several people, including some members of Black Jack. Even so, he will not apologize, yes because he feels prestige and it will lower his self-esteem, Let the past pass. It's not too late to change into a better person than before.

Yes, that was the only thing he could do to reduce his guilt.

Seeing his father silent, Edrick asked, "Are you worried about something, Father?"

"Ah no. I just hope that Princess Claire's wedding will go well," replied Mr.. Javier.
