Honest Intentions.
The next day.
Daniel and Fredy Kim were sitting on the balcony of the apartment while enjoying the atmosphere this morning with a cup of coffee.
This afternoon the three of them would return to Singapore as scheduled. However, Jessica had not come to the apartment yet, and it was unlikely that she would ever come to the apartment if there was no one to pick her up.
“Grandpa, I will come to the Ricardo family house to pick up Elsa. He should be back in Singapore this afternoon with all of us.” Daniel was still not willing to leave his sister alone in Jakarta.
“Ialso agree, after all she still has to finish college. I did not want Jessica to be a child who gave up and did not finish her education at the University.” The grandfather wanted to get back to focusing on Jessica. Samuel Ricardo was dead, it seemed like he had to forget everything and keep Jessica with him, not with Lexi.
“Well, I’ll be there right now to pick up Elsa’s cake. I wish Elsa would come back to Singapore.” Daniel got up from his seat, excited to pick Elsa up from the Ricardo family house as soon as possible.
“Yes, make sure Elsa comes with us back to Singapore!”his grandfather said.
“Do you want to hear the voice recorder that I put in Lexi’s pocket when he arrived in Jakarta last night?” his grandfather said to him. He himself had not had time to listen to the conversation between Lexi and Samuel Ricardo for a moment before the man died.
“Why is Grandpa so smart? Who set up that wiretap?” Daniel scratched the back of his head. He was always amazed by the agility of his grandfather who was always one or two steps ahead of his enemy.
Mr. Kim reached for his phone. Then he began to listen to the conversation.
Daniel listened carefully to Samuel Ricardo’s low voice as he told what had happened twelve years ago.
The two men stared at each other. In the tape it was clear that Samuel Ricardo admitted that he took part in a car accident twelve years ago that killed Darren Kim and Melisa Kim.
“That’s right, grandpa! Samuel Ricardo was involved! Pick up Jessica and tell her right now that Lexi’s father was involved!”Fredy Kim angered. He, who had originally created a little hope for Lexi and Jessica, again closed the opportunity tightly.
He would never give Jessica his blessing with Lexi, the son of the man who killed her parents, to be a husband to his granddaughter.
“I’m going to get Jessica. I’m going to make Lexi confess and open up about what happened twelve years ago in front of Jessica!” Daniel said. “I’m going now,” he said. Then, he stood up from his seat and immediately left the balcony.
“Where is Daniel going?” David, who had just come out of his room, asked.
“I want to pick up Jessica, I have to take her back to Singapore.” Daniel grabbed his phone and put it in his pants pocket. Then he took the keys to the car that was on the table.
” Let Jessica be with Lexi. How long will you continue to make Jessica suffer? After all, it hasn’t been revealed that Lexi’s father was involved in an accident twelve years ago?” David shook his head. He thought that his brother could not understand his sister.
“From the recording I just listened to, I heard Samuel Ricardo himself confess that he was involved in the accident that killed mom and dad.” Daniel said it confidently.

In the morning Lexi woke up first. He looked at his wife, who looked cold. On the face of his wife who looks very beautiful. Tapering eyelashes, a sharp nose. Natural blush red lips. he wanted to be with Jessica forever.
However, something stuck in his heart. The confession of his father shortly before he died he had to tell Jessica. He was hiding something from his wife. A good relationship starts with openness and honesty with each other.
Although he was not sure Jessica would understand it, yes, it’s not impossible, it’s not. Jessica would understand the actions of his late father who had deliberately participated in the plan of a fatal accident that took the lives of her both parents.
Lexi must tell the truth about what happened twelve years ago.
Nothing Lexi did at this time he just kept looking at the face of his wife who was still asleep. Then, he was surprised when Jessica suddenly opened her eyes and caught himself looking at her.
“you’re awake?”Jessica asked, grabbing her husband’s face. With both hands, she cupped on both sides of her husband’s cheeks. Then, she landed a kiss there. On her husband’s lips.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Lexi nodded. Suddenly there was a feeling of tightness that crept into his heart when remembering his father who had gone. Lexi hugged the body of his wife. He put his head on her chest. It was so long and deep that it made Jessica gasp.
With her fingers, Jessica stroked the back of her husband’s head. However, slowly she heard the sobs of her chest felt wet.
“Baby are you crying?” Jessica asked. She tried to check on it and made sure what happened to her husband. However, Lexi did not let that happen. The more he hugged his wife. He no longer wanted to show his weakness.
Jessica was silent. She did not try to move away from her husband’s arms. She let Lexi hug her so tight.
“don’t move please,” he whispered. “I don’t want you to see me when I’m like this. When I broke down and cried, ” he said.
Jessica rubbed Lexi’s back. She knew how her husband felt. He must have felt very sad. So did he felt.
“My dear,” Lexi said. Slowly he unraveled the embrace and dared to reveal his face.
“Yes,” Jessica answered. She wiped the tears from her husband’s cheeks. She slightly widened the corners of her lips to comfort her husband.
“Will you promise not to leave me again? I can’t live without you, I can’t live without you in my life. I want the rest of her time in my life to be spent with you. I have you in every step of my life.” Lexi just kept rubbing her wife’s cheek. He was so thankful that Jessica was finally home. She was here.
“Of course, I will always be with you. I will always be here and by your side,” Jessica replied without hesitation, she had already decided to live with Lexi instead of having to leave with her family.
“I believe you. How about we get up now. I have something to tell you. We can talk while looking at the blooming roses that you planted first,” Lexi asked. Yes, he intended to tell Jessica at this time.
Faster is better than only thinking about it. Bitter honesty is always better than sweet lies.
He hoped that Jessica could forgive his father’s mistakes.
That was so he could start a new life without any secrets that were likely to create distance between them as it happened before.
Then, Lexi led Jessica to stand up. Then they both walked to the bathroom. Before leaving the room, they decided to take a morning shower first.
