Daughter in law. (EDITED)

Before he could even utter a word. Five faces now are shown on the screen. So they already heard it before he could.

"Sorry man. We got curious. My sister never called Mako on her own. This is the first time." Jake said when he saw his expression.

He right. Whenever Yui needs Mako's assistance, He's the one who always make an arrangement. And he always uses his personal laptop so it will always stay private and confidential.

" What now? " He looked at Kenji. It's very unusual to him to ask question regarding his matter to Yui.

"Nothing." He said nonchalantly, like he didn't bother at all. "Let her do whatever makes her happy. If he still love that guy.. So be it." His face is still calm as usual. But his expressive eyes shows what he really feels.

"Ha????!!! You already giving up?!!!"

"C'mon Mako, you know all these years I tried my best for her to at least remember me. I just suddenly felt tired." He sighed and leaned on the couch. "All I want for her is to be safe and happy. If Noah can give that both to her then I won't interfere… Forcing her to stay on my side and love me is the last thing I want to do to her."

"That's bullsh*t man!! You know how my sister suffered when that guy left him."

"Don't you forget that we all know very well the reason he left is just misunderstanding!!"

"Exactly!! If a simple misunderstanding leads him from leaving her what else more to other major problems that a married couple needs to overcome?"

"Don't forget the fact that they're still young back then. Now that they're both mature enough. I'm sure they can handle any trials they will face."

"You're pathetic you know that?!" Kenji commented.

"I know.." He took a deep breath. "Don't worry, I'm always here for her no matter what. Let's just finish this. I'll always make sure she's safe. I'll stay on her side until all of this is done."

"How about the fact that, That bastard is already married to other woman.!!" Miko pointed out in sternly.

Josh didn't answer. Among Saotori brothers Miko is sensitive when it comes to her sister. Until now he's still blaming himself for leaving her sister to the people he thought he can count on.

"If that guy really love her then as a lawyer I personally dissolve his marriage to that woman including my marriage to Little Mae as well." He said with a bitter smile.

"Is that what you really like to.. Or you think that the right thing to do?" Mako asked seriously. Looking at him like he's trying to read him from inside.

"Both." He just simply said then look directly into Mako's eyes. His expressive eyes is drastically changed into cold and emotionless pair of gold eyes.

"Very well!!" Upon hearing this all of them drop the call with disappointment on their faces.

When the screen of his laptop turned black, Still leaning on the couch Josh throw his head backwards. Looking at the ceiling, he put his one arm on his eyes and talk to himself.

"This is the right thing to do, that's why this is what I like to do." He said weakly.

"Do you really don't remember him little Mae? Or you just choose not to remember him? What about that night? You gave him the most precious thing that made him feel complete. Is that nothing to you? Are you trying to say that it's just a piece of flesh and not a big deal?"

Unconsciously a warm liquid fell from his eyes that covered by his arm. He stay like that for not sure how long and didn't move at all.

When he feels like he's staying there for too long, he tried to calm himself. Taking a deep breath and trying to surpass all the emotions he had right that moment. He fixes his self. Putting all his props and decided to leave the room. This time he use the main door to exit. He told Yui that he will go outside. He should enter at the front door in case she's still awake.

When Josh enters their suite, he can't see Yui. He went straight to the kitchen and bring a glass of warm water. He open Yui's door silently and get inside. He places the glass of warm water on her bedside table.

"Where have you been?" Yui asked him in her bedroom voice.

"Sorry.. Did I wake you up?"

Yui sit on the bed and shook her head. "No.. I've been waiting for you in fact." She tap the space beside her. "Sit her."

But instead of sitting beside her, Josh pulled the chair and sat on it. "You're waiting for me? Why? You need something?"

"Where did you go? It's already late."

"I go out to meet some important people."

"Aren't you tired? You've been working the whole day. You supposed to be resting now. Why they didn't meet you on working hours. It's already late---" Yui suddenly stop when she saw the amusement on his face. She covers her mouth as her face flushed in embarrassment.

"My.. My.. little Mae.. You sound like a nagging wife there." Josh cackle when he saw her expression. He reaches her hair and ruffled it.

"I'm not a nagger.. I'm just worried it's already past midnight and yet you're still outside and working? You're such a workaholic monster you know that?" Yui pout.

"Tell that to someone who always skip her meal because of work. To someone who didn't mind her own health because she too is a workaholic monster." Josh pinch her nose. "You're really a troublesome I felt sorry already for your husband in the future." He let go of her nose then pinch her cheeks.

"Speaking of husband.."

"I know.. I'm sorry if I made you confused and uncomfortable for what I did earlier. Just think of it as part of our act OK? I don't want you to feel awkward around me." He stroked her hair gently. "I'm such a jerk. I should consider what you feel first before teasing you like that. Promise I won't do that again."

"It's OK.. I'm just.. I'm already married and it's so wrong to do that."

"I know.. And I'm sorry. If you're not comfortable on our setup in the company, you don't have to push yourself. Let's end it now. I'll deal with it to anyone. So don't worry anymore OK?"

Yui didn't answer. Before Josh come she's so determined to talk to him about this. Now that he open it and said those same words she's about to say, she's now speechless.

"Now go back to sleep. I'll be in the next room. If you need anything just call me." Josh stand up and leave the room without waiting for her answer.

Why does she have this feeling that something will change between them starting now.

"Noah!!" A man in his late 40's coming down from the stairs greeted him. It's his father.

"Father!!.. It's been a long time.." They hug each other.

"Indeed my boy and I'm sorry about that. You know this old man is trying to do his best to forget your mother and end up wandering everywhere." the man gave his son a sad face.

"I know father.. It's OK.." Noah tap his father's shoulder.

"Oh this must be Jin!!"

"Hello uncle it's nice to finally meet you." Jin response respectfully.

"I'm glad I finally met you too.. And this Young beautiful lady must be my daughter in law." the man walk to Natalie. "Hello young lady. I'm glad to meet you." He hugged Natalie like a father saw her daughter.
