"Indonesia? Where is that country? This is the first time I've heard of it."
Roman West smiled. "If it's Bali you'll know, right?"
Ariel nodded slowly. "Yes I know, I almost visited Bali three years ago."
"Bali is part of the Indonesian state," said Roman West slowly.
"What?"
"Yes, Bali is such a beautiful island next to the island of Java. Everyone must know Bali better than Indonesia itself, that's why Grandpa doesn't blame you. Because many people are like you," answered Roman West quietly, although his affection for Ariel was not as much as he loves Reagan but Roman West tries to be nice to Ariel.
"So Reagan and Crystal are going on their honeymoon in Bali, Dad?" asked Austin curiously.
"Reagan hasn't made a choice yet, the many extraordinary places in Indonesia make Reagan confused to choose and Daddy doesn't blame it on him because honestly Daddy can't even choose," replied Roman West lying a little, knowing the nature of his adopted son made Roman behave so badly. watch out for him. He didn't take the slightest risk.
Austin nodded his head, his evil plan immediately popped up in his bald head. The envy that was ingrained in his body made Austin forget that the person he harmed was the grandson of the person who had given him a good life for years, his lust for control of the West family's wealth closed his deepest conscience as a human who should know revenge. .
The change in Austin's expression was read easily by Roman, the old man who had spent his life in a wheelchair for more than five years was too smart for Austin to fool. If it weren't for the desire to reveal the curiosity that continued to torment him almost every night, Roman West would have kicked Austin and his wife and children out of his house long ago.
"Can I come with Reagan and Crystal, grandpa? I'm really very curious about Bali, Grandpa don't worry after arriving in Bali I will look for lodging by myself and won't disturb them both. I will also look for..."
"No." Roman West firmly refused Ariel's desire to join Reagan and Crystal to Indonesia. "Reagan and Crystal want their honeymoon, the most important thing that only happens once in their lifetime and you want to ruin it with your presence?"
Ariel's face immediately turned pale.
"Would you like this if this happened to you in the future? Would you like it if other people invaded your privacy?" continued Roman West again.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
"You're an adult Ariel, now you've even started taking care of the company. So keep your attitude well, respect people's privacy just as you want their privacy to be respected. Grandpa hope this doesn't happen again and for both of you." Roman West turned his gaze to Austin and Laura. "Even though Crystal is Reagan's wife she is far above you two, so watch your attitude. Don't let me get a report on how you treat Crystal."
Austin and Laura's faces immediately changed, both of them really looked very shocked to hear such unexpected words from their father.
"Crystal is my favorite, so anyone who disturbs her will immediately confront me. You two understand what I'm saying, don't you?"
Austin laughed. "We wouldn't do anything to Crystal either, Dad. After all, we're a family that should take care of each other, so…
"It's good that you have that thought, looks like the accident that happened to Reagan four years ago kept you away. wiser now," said Roman West sarcastically.
The smile on Austin's face disappeared instantly, being reminded of the failed assassination plot on Reagan four years ago left Austin unable to speak. Although so far Roman West has not accused him of being involved in the near-miss accident. took Reagan's life but the innuendo by Roman West made Austin wonder if his adoptive father actually knew that he was the mastermind behind the tragic incident.
"Daddy isn't accusing Austin of being involved in the accident, is he?" asked Laura stuttering. "Austin couldn't have done something that low, Dad, he couldn't have hurt Reagan. Reagan was like a son to both of us."
"I'm not accusing Austin, I'm just reminiscing. Not really Austin."
Austin gasped. "Y-yes dad…I understand."
Roman West smiled faintly, Roman West was enjoying Austin's surprise at this moment. The tension in the dining room ended when Reagan and Crystal appeared with their respective suitcases. Because many of Crystal's clothes were still unused, she didn't take long to put them in the suitcase so that in a short time she had finished packing. Likewise with Reagan, Reagan, who chose not to bring a large number of clothes, also packed it carefully. hurry. The only important thing Reagan brought was a laptop, the rest was just casual clothes. Nothing special at all, if it weren't for his grandfather talking about death Reagan would definitely reject this honeymoon plan outright.
"Hurryonce, nothing was left, right?" Roman West's tone suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees when talking to Crystal who is currently standing next to her suitcase.
Crystal smiled. "I've double-checked everything and nothing is left, cake."
"Good job, then how about you Reagan?"
"I've also double-checked, everything I need is in this suitcase," Reagan replied lazily. "And I will explain everything to you when I get to Indonesia later, Ariel."
Not only was Roman West shocked, Crystal, who had been standing nervously for a long time, was also shocked by Reagan's words.
"Ariel is crying grandpa, look at her." Reagan immediately explained the meaning of his words. "Look at her, she's like a child who hasn't been taken on an excursion. That's why I said like before, I wanted to show her how beautiful the place we are going to be is."
"Wicked!" Ariel screeched loudly.
"Yes I'am," Reagan replied with a chuckle.
An annoyed Ariel immediately got up from her chair and rushed off to her room, leaving everyone who was focused on her.
"Don't keep teasing your sister, Reagan. Ariel is not a kid you can take with you wherever you go, especially when you and Crystal are going on a honeymoon like this," said Roman West curtly.
"I know grandpa, I was just teasing her. Seeing her cry like that makes me happy," Reagan replied defensively.
"Stop and go away, you will miss the plane if you talk too much."
Reagan nodded slowly and then lazily dragged his suitcase towards the door, while Crystal chose to say good-bye politely to Roman West.
"Enjoy your time and come back with the good news that Grandpa really wanted to hear," Roman West said in a low, half-whispered voice to Crystal who was hugging him.
"Grandfather..."
"Two or three grandpa will receive it with open arms and full of joy," added Roman West with a laugh.
