Chapter 31 - Jealous

"Yes, mom, I'm fine. You'll complete the task with my dad first."

"I adore you as well, Ma. Regards to Daddy."

Erlangga regarded Sky, who regarded him without expression. Simultaneously, feelings of happiness and melancholy were present.

How could it be otherwise, given that he was about to request permission to stay at Sky's residence? Instead, his parents informed him that they were unable to take him up tonight. There was work that could not be abandoned. Therefore, he is not significantly more important than work.

At least, this is what Erlangga believed. Children with an accumulated jealous disposition.

"Tonight, Sky, Mom, and Dad are unable to pick me up. There is work to complete. So ...."

"Are you joining us at the mansion?" Sky resumed Erlangga's halted speech.

"Yes. I will first speak with your parents."

Erlangga grabbed his walking stick and began to leave the room. He recalled Bara being in the living room. He should at least initially seek his permission.

When he spotted Bara, Erlangga said, "Excuse me, uncle."

The man appeared to be watching television casually.

"Yes."

"Apologies in advance. My parents are unable to pick me up. So, may I spend the night?" Erlangga said languidly.

"Oh absolutely. Your parents called your aunt and informed her of the situation "Bara stated casually. "Relax, you can join us at the mansion in a little time. Later, sleep with Sky. No cause for concern. You are welcome to remain at any moment."

Erlangga looked relieved. He complimented his parents for having the civility to notify the house's owner. He was not required to explain their absence.

"Just relax Erlangga. Come have a seat, we'll wait for Sky and Sandra to finish packing."

Erlangga consented to sit next to Bara while appearing hesitant. In Sky's chamber, he was not permitted to assist in any way. The sky remained close to him.

"Are you the sole kid of Erlangga?" Bara asked quickly.

"Yes. If this situation persists, my parents cannot provide me with a younger sibling."

Erlangga murmured. He enjoyed having an adorable little sibling. However, there was also concern that his younger sibling would be sad about having a crippled sibling.

"You'll get better. If you and your parents agree, tomorrow Uncle will choose the best physician. A wonderful boy like you deserves to grow better."

Erlangga grinned only slightly. He had nothing further to say. Bara appeared sincere to him thus far. Either because he was attracted to him, or because he was Sky's friend.

"It's complete, Bara. Where is the sky?"

Two enormous luggage were brought by Sandra. It simply contained her clothing. Since Bara also did not bring any clothing to this flat.

"Currently in the room. Possibly having difficulty packing."

"All right, I'll examine it first."

Sandra returned home to see her son. Although he occasionally stated that he did not require Sandra's assistance, Sky regularly had difficulty sorting his belongings.

Sky and Erlangga were instructed to quickly enter the chamber and rest upon entering the mansion. An hour of travel was sufficient to make the children weary.

"Are you too exhausted, San?" Bara hugged Sandra's slim waist. His hands felt for a flat abdomen.

Being a previous mother did not cause Sandra's physique to be overweight. In addition to a balanced diet, genetic effects appear to have an effect.

"Yes. Who is also not exhausted." Sandra said curtly.

Bara was silent. Understanding Sandra's irritability The body of his wife was turned. Their eyes locked. Assaulting one another.

"San, you are now prepared for me to introduce you to outsiders. You and Sky specifically. Possibly, if you wish, another will develop here."

Bara taunted Sandra by touching her stomach. Immediate amusement caused him to remove his hand from Sandra.

"Nonsense. How could I conceive again? But why do you wish to make us public?"

"That's how it should be, right? It has been far too long. It ought to have occurred seven years ago. But you've departed, and we're living with this miscommunication."

Sandra was silent. She should be glad to be recognized for her existence and Sky to Bara's friends. Given the message she heard the other day, however, it would be detrimental for her to become Mrs. Hernandez.

"When do you anticipate announcing your marriage?"

"As quickly as feasible. Two weeks, to be exact. Following my return from New York."

Sandra's eyeballs got large. "Are you traveling to New York?"

Bara nodded briefly. "I am employed there. You may come if you so want."

Sandra shook her head hurriedly. How did she get there? Who would Sky go with if they both left?

As though he knew Sandra's concerns, Bara stated, "It's good that you're worried about Sky. I will only be gone for five to seven days. Next week I will depart. I informed you in advance on purpose."

"Who are you?"

"My helper is Martin. Exclusive to him."

Sandra nodded in understanding. At least Bara accompanied only the assistant. She was already contemplating it. Afraid to accompany his attractive secretary.

"What are you thinking? I'm leaving with another woman?" Bara erupted in laughter. It was enjoyable to be envious of Sandra. Increasingly, he is certain that she still has affection for him.

"Yeah, no. Just in case someone is interested in being invited by you." Sandra refrained from concealing her ambush.

"There is none. If there is, you are it. But you prefer my diminutive form. That's fine as well," Bara teased intentionally.

Sandra could do nothing but pinch Bara's waist in irritation. Ignore his excruciating groan. Who told him to continue to tease her?

"Okay, let's retire to bed. I have a simple remedy for restful sleep." Bara again taunted Sandra with a wink.

Sandra understood the teasing's intent. As opposed to welcoming it. She jumped into the bed and closes her body immediately.

Sandra said, "Don't mess with me, or I'll sleep with Sky and Erlangga."

His tiny hands pressed the black keys before him. The other individual grabs and consumes a potato chip. His mind is constantly being challenged. His food intake, however, did not increase. Therefore, he unwrapped some snacks tonight to satisfy his hunger.

He could have prepared food in the kitchen. However, his feeling of duty prevented him from walking too far.

With slightly more effort, he would have been successful. He labored late into the night to create a highly valuable instrument for the continuation of his studies.

A secret chip that he will install in the smartphone of a stranger. His uncle is the intended victim. Zachary Lukman.

In the morning of tomorrow, he will meet Zachary somewhere. Already scheduled a meeting with him. Consequently, he asked Erlangga to spend the night. At the very least, the boy may be utilized to reason out the situation.

"Well done. We'll see how you debate tomorrow, Uncle."

Sky closed the display. Recovered the remaining potato chips. Getting ready to accompany Erlangga to dreamland.
