"D City”
Alex and several of his subordinates and assistants arrived at City D. Alex's only intention and goal was to meet Diane and her son.
Now Alex is right in the courtyard of Diane and baby Aland's residence. Alex's heart was beating faster than usual, and Alex was still in his car. To be exact, Alex can only monitor from inside his car.
After a few minutes, Diane appeared in a casual style and looked very elegant. Diane with baby Aland using a black stroller.
"Sir, isn't that Mrs. Diane and the child..." said one of his subordinates who was currently with Alex.
Instantly, Alex was stunned speechless and unable to say a word. Diane looked happy, and they looked like they wanted to go around their residential complex with one of Aland's babysitters.

After gathering courage, Alex finally decided to go meet Diane at a gathering.
The event was held in a five-star luxury hotel. Alex kept an eye on Diane, it's just that Diane was not aware of Alex's presence in that place.
After the completion of the main event, guests are welcome to chat with each other and enjoy the dishes.
Very coincidentally, Diane was standing right behind Alex.
A touch on Diane's shoulder, surprising Diane and even more surprising, was Alex who did it.
"Hi, how are you?" Asked Alex with a sad smile on his face.
Diane's whole body swayed at that moment, and in an awkward atmosphere Diane still gave a good response.
"I'm fine, how about Mr Alexavier?" she replied.
"I guess I'm not doing very well." Said Alex, who seemed to have a deep regret for Diane.
"Diane, a client from City E company wants to talk to us." Said James who came suddenly. When he saw Alex's presence, James suddenly put his arm around Diane's shoulder and asked Diane to leave.
"We beg your leave, sir." said James with a smiling face.
•••
"Sorry, I was too presumptuous to do this. I just don't want that bastard to bother you again." James said in a half whispering voice to Diane.
"Yeah, I know. No problem." Diane said with a smiling face.

When James wanted to take Diane back to residence, Alex was already standing in front of the main lobby.
"Diane, can we meet again?" Alex asked hopefully.
"Sorry, sir. It's really not a good thing, if a man who already has a wife meets a woman with single parent status like me." Diane said directly stating her current status.
"Diane, you've changed so much now. I almost lost the old Diane." Alex said with a chuckle.
"Everyone will experience changes during their lifetime. There are only two changes, change for the better or vice versa." Diane said quite curtly.
Not having had time to talk much, Diane was in a hurry to leave because she had to see the condition of baby Aland who was at home with the nanny.

"Diane Georgini's House"
Tonight, Diane felt the tightness in her chest rising again. In the silence of that night, Diane shed tears again, when she remembered every incident in her past when she was with Alex.
For a woman who had married and even had a child. Of course, it's not easy to completely forget everything too quickly. Still feeling sadness from the past at certain times, does not mean that someone is still living in the past. It's just that all those memories are really hard to brush over and even to forget.
"Does Alex already know the truth..." Diane muttered worriedly. Remembering the crimes and even cunning of the Caspian family, made Diane a little scared. Afraid that baby Aland will be taken by that bastard family.
Since the meeting that night, Alex has frequently contacted Diane via voice calls, videos and even messages. However, Diane did not respond the way Alex expected.
Until a few days later...
Alex is desperate to come to Diane's residence with baby Aland at this time.
.

"Excuse me sir, Mrs Diane is working in the office." Said the babysitter Aland.
"Ah, is that so? Can I wait for Diane to arrive?" asked Alex.
"I'll ask Mrs Diane first sir." Said the nanny, then called Diane who was working.
...
"Madam, there is a guest who wants to see madam."
Diane: "I'll be home early, but I'm pretty busy right now."
Nanny: "But, Master intends to wait."
Diane: "Who's that guy, why so urgent?"
Nanny: "The gentleman said his name was Alexavier, ma'am."
Diane: "what? OK! I'll be home in a few minutes." Diane's voice sounded worried.
"Is there something?" muttered the nanny named Beka.
•••
"Please wait sir. Mrs. Diane is on her way here." Beka said, then sat in front of Alex to accompany Alex with subordinates.
"What's that handsome boy's name?" Alex asked with sparkling eyes. At that time, Beka was caring for baby Aland.
"Ah, his name is Aland Georginie, we call him Aland." Beka said with a smiling face.
"Miss nanny, may I hold her?" Alex asked hopefully.
"Ah, sorry sir. baby Aland is not allowed to touch strangers. Really sorry sir, this is an order from Mrs Diane." Said Beka who was uncomfortable.
"Its okay. That's a good thing. Maybe, when Diane comes back, I can carry her." Alex said.
Later, Diane arrived driving her own car.
"Mrs Diane has arrived sir."
• • •
Diane's face was quite tense, when she had just arrived at the residence. Seeing Alex with several of her subordinates in the living room of her residence.
"Sorry if my arrival surprised you. I wanted to tell you, it's just that I'm too scared, if you reject me."
"Supposedly, Mr. Alex told me if you want to come here. I haven't even told my address, but in fact Mr. Alex is always smart as usual." Diane snapped, the tense atmosphere could not be avoided anymore.
"Beka, take Aland to the room." Diane said to Beka's nanny.
"Yes, madam." Beka also brought baby Aland inside.
"Wait! Can I see and hold my child?" Alex asked, suddenly making Beka surprised and Diane could only sigh softly.
"Finally, the moment I feared happened..." Diane couldn't stop Alex, because after all Alex was the father of baby Aland, her child.
"Please." Diane said, then sat down.
Alex also carried baby Aland, at that time he couldn't hold back Alex's tears anymore.
"Forgive your bad and loser father, my son..." Alex said, then kissed baby Aland's forehead. An atmosphere of emotion enveloped the living room of Diane's residence.
"Please, really... don't ever take my child away from me... we've had enough suffering, and now I don't want any of your family to interfere in our lives. Especially, Sharon! I know, Sharon won't stay silent watching her husband is at the residence of his ex-first wife." Diane insisted, trying to hold back the tightness in her chest.
"Diane, forgive me…" Alex said, as he fell down with baby Aland who was still in his arms.
