Morning at the Kim family residence. The atmosphere became increasingly hectic. David and Daniel were both still eager to persuade the grandfather to immediately approve Jessica and Lexi’s relationship. No waiting for tomorrow.
Both would not stop before the mission is successful. They would continue to talk to their grandfather. Urgent and if necessary to force their grandfather to immediately approve the relationship Jessica and Lexi.
Yes, every time their grandfather dodged, they would continue to talk again and again, until their grandfather just said ‘Yes’. No more pushing.
Daniel whispered something to his brother. Then, he said to Daniel going to Jessica’s room while David went to their grandfather’s room.
David knocked on his grandfather’s door. Without waiting for an answer, he opened the door slowly. Then, he looked at the grandfather who was currently sitting leaning on the bed. His eyes opened and he saw David walking towards him.
Fredy Kim swallowed. David answered with a look on his face. He’s sitting on the edge of the bed. He looked at his grandfather and did not turn his eyes in the other direction. He just focused on that middle-aged man.
“What else would you say? Can’t you say it well, David? Don’t say anything else, grandpa’s answer remains the same!” Mr. Kim’s face lit up with a grimace. He did not like when he was pursued by something even though he felt that he had done nothing wrong. This time, what his two grandsons did was really disturbing.
David did not respond immediately. He thought before he answered. he was afraid if he said words that might offend the grandfather. Yes, the feelings and the more sensitive Fredy Kim’s heart. Sometimes irritable, David could understand it these days.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to change your decision, but you have to listen to what I have to say!” David was convinced. The affirmation that his grandfather conveyed, did not hinder the desire to convey what he felt so far. Daniel understood, the grandfather must also understand.
Fredy kim looked sharper than ever. he compared to Daniel, David was always more courageous when expressing his opinion.
“From the beginning, my goal was to find Jessica, to bring her to this house. And no else there. Why? Because, in addition to bringing Jessica to this house. I want to make her happy too. I also wanted to make my only sister, who was once lost, meet her family and live a happier life.” David swallowed and paused for a moment he turned his gaze in the other direction. He didn’t dare look back at his grandfather. “Then what I feel so far, Jessica has never been happy here! My room is next to Jessica’s. And I know for sure, every night I wake up, I get out of the room. I heard by myself my beautiful sister, my only sister was always crying every night.”
Fredy Kim had not yet responded. It’s a story told by David. He chose silence without expression.
“I don’t need to repeat it again. I knew what was going on with Jessica before she came here. She once suffered a very deep wound, when she lost the fetus that was in her stomach. And now that Jessica is pregnant again, as her sister I don’t want that bad thing to happen again, I don’t want Jessica to experience that trauma again. If that happens, I already don’t know how to return my sister’s smile!” David deliberately dramatized.
What David said, his grandfather could not disagree.
“At the moment Jessica does not want to eat. He lay down and kept saying Lexi’s name. Is Jessica’s grandfather like that? What if she miscarries again? What if he repeats the bitter taste he felt a few months ago? Why are you so mean to her?” David did as Daniel commanded. He made up a story that Jessica didn’t want to eat. That way maybe the grandfather’s heart will be moved to see Jessica see the state of her granddaughter.
Freddy Kim would love to see Jessica. However, every time he thought about Lexi, his little heart’s premise strongly refused. He didn’t want to let Lexi and Jessica be together, that’s impossible!
He looked at the old man’s silent response. David found a way. It’s okay to lie, it’s important to bring Freddy Kim to Jessica’s room. There’s already Daniel and Jessica who would pretend and act more dramatized.
“Daniel is in Jessica’s room. He was trying to get Jessica to eat and I wanted to go over there to talk to her.” David went from sitting to turning his face in annoyance and leaving his grandfather from his room. Not that he was disrespectful. He was just very upset with his stubborn grandfather.
Freedy Kim took a deep breath. His chest was tight, he cared about Jessica. He really cares! Then, the middle-aged man stood from his seat. Then, he got out of bed. He followed David. he couldn’t believe what David said. His grandfather walked both feet towards Jessica’s room.

Daniel walked into Jessica’s room. Yes, his plan was to make his sister pretend she didn’t want to eat and she kept mentioning Lexi’s name. Perhaps then their grandfather’s heart would be understood .
However, what happened was unexpected. When he opened the door. Daniel saw that Jessica was busy eating. There were two boxes of food in front of him. One contains sandwiches and one contains pieces of fruit. Not only that there was one glass of milk left half on the table. It seemed, his younger sister ate very well this morning.
“You eat this much Jess?” Daniel asked before he told you what his plan was.
“I’m so hungry this morning,” she said, still chewing. Daniel had never seen Jessica like this. Usually, she would eat little by little. This time she ate with enthusiasm, fast and bit again the sandwich in her hand.
“Why did you suddenly eat so much?” Daniel asked, looking at the maid standing next to Jessica, looking for an answer from the maid.
the maid did not immediately reply as she shook her head, for she did not know. As for Jessica, Jessica was still hungrily chewing and had no intention of answering Daniel’s question.
Just after swallowing and finishing one piece of her sandwich. Jessica explained. “I sent a message to Lexi yesterday. Today he wants to come here. And he wants to talk to Grandpa. I can’t stop it brother. I also want Lexi to come here. I want to see him. I want to live with him. Anywhere, here or in Jakarta. I definitely want to spend my time with the people I love. And as for this baby in my womb, I want to raise it with Lexi. You want to help me, you want to talk to Grandpa, you want to accept it, right?!” the woman made a request.
Daniel nodded firmly. “Yes, my little sister, I will help you, now you quickly eat up right before David and Grandpa come here. Let’s eat quickly!” he told his sister.
“Why do I have to eat it so quickly?”
“Let’s eat it quickly, listen to what I said, eat it quickly!” Daniel insisted.
“Okay!” Jessica took one piece of sandwich and started chewing it. To help swallow, she gulped down the milk that was on the desk. Sometimes, she also took pieces of fruit. The food was good, but the food on the desk was not enough. Jessica, who did not immediately finish her morning meal made Daniel nervous.
He was afraid that what he had planned with David failed because Jessica was very enthusiastic about eating her food. It was very different from what he told his grandfather that his granddaughter did not want to eat.
The room door was opened.
David entered the room and closed the door. Seeing Jessica who was still busy eating, he moved quickly to take two boxes of food from the tray and also milk on the desk. Then, he hid it under the bed. Meanwhile, the maid was told to hide in the bathroom.
“Soon, Grandpa will come here.” David was getting nervous.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Now you pretend to sleep and pretend to whimper calling Lexi’s name! Okay!” Daniel asked. He helped Jessica lie down and covered her with a blanket. David sat on the edge of the bed. And all three were ready for the show.
Jessica rubbed the food in her lips. According to her brother’s instructions. She began to whimper softly saying Lexi’s name.
“Lexi,” she called repeatedly with her eyes closed and sometimes sobbing.
David snapped his two thumbs.
Not long after, that’s what David said. Grandpa came straight to Jessica.
“Is that Lexi coming?” Jessica asked. She turned to look away, but she looked disappointed when she found her grandfather standing on the door.
Then she tried to pretend again.
The three of them were anxious at times. They saw their grandfather, they really hoped their grandfather could understand. They hoped their grandfather changed his mind. It’s about Jessica and Lexi.
