Marco had just stepped out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, attempting to dry his hair with a small towel. Now, he walked towards the nightstand to grab his phone when Pedro knocked on his door and entered, bowing.


    “Sir, there’s important news,” Pedro said, causing Marco to pause his hand movements, staring at his subordinate.


    “What news? I hope it’s good news because it’s still morning, and I don’t want my mood to turn sour,” Marco said, making Pedro pause momentarily, evident to Marco’s sharp eyes.


    “And my guess seems to be correct. Is it something bad?” Marco asked, making Pedro approach.


    “The paparazzi have reported that Sir’s rtionship with Miss Arabe is back. Some photos of you both leaving the same hotel, though not together, have circted. Even television stations have covered it, and gossip magazines have published news about you filling the front pages of famous magazines,” Pedro said, making Marco sigh deeply.


    “So, it’s challenging for us to silence all the widely spread news, isn’t it?” Marco asked, making Pedro nod.


    “Do they get reports from someone tailing me, or is there someone intentionally trying to find out about my rtionship with Arabe?” Marco asked again, confident that the paparazzi no longer sought information about his romantic affairs after the separation from Arabe and his marriage to Letta.


    “I’m sure someone is meddling in this news,” Marco said, making Pedro hesitant to report it. Marco looked at Pedro with raised eyebrows.


    “Don’t tell me this is rted to Arabe or Mommy?” Marco asked, making Pedro nod.


    “Madam herself intentionally spread news about your closeness,” Pedro said, making Marco sigh deeply. It seems that his mother truly intends to reunite their rtionship.


    “Where is Mommy now?” Marco asked, and Pedro pointed to his watch.


    “Earlier this morning, Madam has returned to the hospital to be with Mr. Edward,” Pedro replied, prompting Marco to get ready to go to the hospital.


    “Prepare the car. I will go to the hospital immediately,” Marco said. Edward had passed the critical stagest night, good news for Marco. Now, he had to wait for Jacob to appear and resolve the scandal with Arabe. Marco entered his ck car immediately to meet Helena, which only took a few minutes because Marco chose a hotel near the hospital. Marco reached out, seeing Helena sitting by the bedside, apanying the still weak Edward.


    “It seems you’vee quickly,” Helena said, making Marco sit beside his mother.


    “I think Mommy already knows what I’m going to discuss with Mommy,” Marco said. Helena looked at her son attentively.


    “Yes, Mommy is sure because of the current news about your closeness with Arabe,” Helena said, making Marco look at his mother with a t gaze.


    “So, can Mommy exin everything?” Marco asked again.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    “Nothing needs to be exined. Isn’t it clear that you two are going to restart your rtionship properly?” Helena said.


    “Yes, we do have a good rtionship, but not to fix or start closeness in another sense. From the beginning, even though we separated, we still had a good rtionship. But Mommy seems to have given a different impression to the paparazzi,” Marco said, making Helena just stare at her son with her stern gaze.


    “That is Mommy’s goal because we have agreed with Be’s parents that you will restart your rtionship with the condition that they will help us, and you end your marriage with that woman,” Helena said easily, making Marco immediately look at his mother with his firm gaze.


    “That will never happen. I have met Arabe directly, and she is willing to help me without any agreements or conditions like what Mommy is doing,” Marco said, causing Helena to stand up from her seat.


    “Stop being selfish. Don’t you understand our current situation, especially considering Daddy? Mommy has swallowed her pride to reconnect with Arabe’s family and request that your rtionship be restored. At leastply with what Mommy has worked hard for,” Helena said with an angry tone, causing Marco to respond with a disapproving face.


    “I didn’t ask Mommy to meddle in my affairs. Haven’t I already said that I can handle it without interference from anyone, let alone begging Arabe’s family? Haven’t I said that Arabe and I canmunicate well without rekindling a rtionship? We’re fine with our rtionship as childhood friends. We don’t need toplicate things, especially involving my marriage. Because no matter what, I will never end my marriage with Letta. Especially now, as we await the birth of our child, and it’s Mommy’s first grandchild. Doesn’t Mommy want to see me happy and continue to follow all of Mommy’s requests?” Marco asked, making Helena fall silent.


    “Since you married that woman, you’ve been so distant from Mommy. Even before, you never ignored Mommy’s requests,” Helena said, looking at Marco with a disappointed gaze.


    “And Mommy has never understood me. Haven’t I been a good son all this time, something you took pride in? Can’t Mommy just understand my desire this time? Besides, Letta has never harmed us. She has never put Mommy in any difficulty. No, maybe it’s just because Mommy can’t unt Letta to Mommy’s socialite friends. If needed, I will make Letta like an Arabe, even better, so she can be proudly introduced. And, Mommy should know, Letta is far better than any other woman, not because of her family’s wealth or status. Because to me, Letta is more than anything,” Marco said, then left Helena who fell silent, realizing that Marco truly chose Letta over her as the mother who had taken care of him since childhood.
