Chapter 373 - Remembering The Past

In the afternoon Dean was sitting relaxed on a park bench next to the house, staring at Calvin and Sofia who was cycling, while Aidyn was also learning to ride a mini bike with the help of Dany and Dinda. The man smiled faintly at the peaceful atmosphere because there was no longer any threat to haunt him.

"Clarissa... If you know, seeing Sofia laughing out loud is the thing that makes me unable to forget how it was when you were free from your father's restraints. At that time you were happy ....laugh out loud, and never regret living in simplicity with me," Dean whispered who could never forget his first love. "And now maybe you see ... .our daughter is happy because she is so comfortable in this family environment...with Bryana who is like her own mother."

"I never thought that God replaced you with Bryana who turned out to be your cousin….sometimes she is still very sad because she never had the chance to know about you in her life...she regrets knowing that you are her cousin when you are gone..." Dean's tears did not fall when he remembered the regret that Bryana always felt. Even when it was all revealed when Bryana was pregnant, then he left her.

'I once hurt her heart by leaving her because I wanted justice for you… I can't. I love her as much as I love you ... You are special in my heart,' Dean thought still crying but someone immediately gave him a tissue.

"Why are you crying?" Bryana asked, sitting down next to Dean.

"I don't know," Dean replied with a shy smile and wiped his tears. "I just... I'm just feeling really happy with this peace after we've faced all the difficulties that have come and gone..seeing kids happy in comfort, no longer depressed from fear, really makes me happy."

Bryana took a deep breath and then hugged Dean. let it rest on her shoulder. "It is the fruit of our patience... Take the previous events as a lesson that we must always be vigilant, make the best use of the time possible to make the people we care about and love us happy," she said.

"Yeah... finally no one will bother our family anymore..our next child will be born in a peaceful situation," said Dean with a smile and then kissed Bryana's cheek.

Bryana smiled, holding Dean's hand but his gaze was fixed on Aidyn. "Look at him ... the small fire that always ignites the spirit for us ..his birth was really worrying, but now he is very smart and tough, his face is also very similar to yours."

"I almost gave up at that time, until I went to church and was met by Clarissa," said Dean, looking at Aidyn who was riding a minibike but was held by Dany in the piggyback.

"She came to see you, maybe someone will not believe it and even think you are just a mirage," Bryana said turning to look at Sofia who was pedaling her pink bicycle. "But I believe... She came to give her blessing to our relationship... She entrusted Sofia to me."

"Would you be mad if it turns out I haven't been able to forget her?" Dean asked slightly looking up at Bryana.

"Of course not. She's a part of us, not to be forgotten...I even want to visit her grave when I go to my father's grave," Bryana replied casually.

"Then we'll go thereafter I managed to meet Kareen," said Dean, remembering that he had not had the chance to meet Kareen. He thought of advising the woman… have a heart-to-heart talk.

."You seriously want to see her?" Bryan looked nervous.

"Yeah, I want to try to fix things by making her understand the meaning of love and belonging," replied Dean. "At first she was a good girl, but she changed because I was always the reason why I wanted her to go back to how she used to be and find a man who truly loves her and she will be happy like us because everyone deserves to be happy," he continued.

"Can I come with you to meet her?" Bryana asked angrily. She was still often frightened when she saw Kareen almost kill Dean.

"No," Dean replied then brushed aside the tuft of hair that was covering Bryana's cheek. ."You better stay at home with the kids. I'll be there with Dany and don't worry... everything will be fine."

"Okay then. I won't insist." Bryana took a deep breath, trying to control herself from being too possessive because Dean had been so patient with her.

Elsa has just finished taking a photoshoot at the beach with the theme of sunset. she was wearing a black bikini, her hair was wet, her face was covered with thick make-up but washed to add a sexy impression. She was sitting in the gazebo with her assistant who was a man but a little snooty was preparing to go home because the photoshoot was over.

"Wouldn't your husband be angry if he knew you did a very sexy photoshoot like that?" asked the man with a slender body, you could even say he was skinny and had no macho impression at all. he wears green shorts combined with a beach shirt top with floral prints and wears a round hat.

"Angry or not, I don't care," Elsa replied curtly as she tried to contact Johan who was waiting for her in the car.

Because Johan did not respond to her call, Elsa put on a red bathrobe and then stood up and got down from the gazebo. "I'm going to the car to get my clothes. I think Johan fell asleep so he didn't answer my calls."

"Yes alright. don't be too long," the man exclaimed. Elsa casually walked towards her clothes to her car which was parked near the beach then put on some sunglasses so that beachgoers wouldn't recognize her because if she was walking alone and some guy found out that she was a trending adult magazine model then she would be invited take pictures.

Arriving at the car, Elsa found the passenger door slightly ajar and visible legs sticking out. It turned out that Johan was sleeping shirtless, leaning on the gray upholstery.

"He's sleeping instead," Elsa muttered as she was about to take her bag which was on the side seat where Johan was sleeping. She climbed into the car with her head down until she accidentally hit the roof of the car and finally fell right on top of the Bodyguard's chest.

"Ouch...!"

Johan suddenly woke up and saw Elsa was on top of him even their faces were so close that their noses almost touched.

Elsa silently stared at Johan's handsome face, who was more charismatic than Carlos, who seemed grim. .his hands felt the bodyguard's chest-pounding, and his eyes were intense.

"Mrs...." whispered Johan who looked at Elsa so sexy on top of her body. He could even see the part of her chest that looked plump because the bathrobe she was wearing was not too tight.

"You are so sexy ..." Elsa whispered, bringing her lips closer to Johan's lips while feeling his stocky chest. She imagined the burly body squeezing her, satisfying her, for she had no more satisfaction from Carlos. Then, what about Johan's response?
