In the car, no words came out of Andreas Jonathan's mouth. Cassandra tried to understand her husband's feelings, because of the safety and security of the family, had always been the thing that was prioritized by the young man. And beyond her knowledge, her own biological sister had been playing with fire, unknowingly causing a gap of danger to her family. Especially considering the condition of his wife is currently pregnant, and has limited mobility.
"Sister Andre. Don't be like that brother.. However, we can hear Stevie's reasons and understand them, because we are talking about heart problems, human feelings. Connected to the situation since Stevie was born, it may not be easy if we assume with us, which is only in adulthood to be met." Cassandra tried to calm her husband down.
"That's not what I'm thinking about honey, is Stevie not aware of your current situation. Where the child's heart, seeing his brother-in-law was pregnant, his nephew who could not do anything. Is there not the slightest thought in the mind of the girl, to guard and protect you.." as Cassandra had expected, safety and security reasons are the main thing that has always been the top priority in the life of Andreas Jonathan. Cassandra fell silent, trying to get inside her husband's words.
"I'm going to send my men to investigate whether what my brother Stevie said is true. Or is it just a lie from Armansyah, to trick the weak girl. Arriving at home, I will order the bodyguards to head to Maureen village, and find the whereabouts of the old man.." still in anger, Andreas Jonathan said his plan.
The young man continued to drive the sports car smartly, and always kept his pace because his wife was pregnant. In any emotional state, what needs to be thumbs up from this young man is to be able to look after and protect his wife well.

In the back, Alexander followed his brother-in-law in the car, no talks with Stevie along the way. The young man himself was also confused, having been married for some time to the girl sitting next to him, but Stevie still often kept her own troubles. As a man, there was a sense of annoyance in Alexander's heart, yet he could not let out his annoyance.
"Sister Alex is angry with Stevie's attitude... " She asked her husband who had not greeted her since silence.
Alexander turned his head briefly towards his wife, but then shifted his gaze again with a forward focus. Coincidentally, by late afternoon, the road has begun to crowded again so it requires a level of concentration in driving.
"I should have asked you Stevi.., up to this point I sometimes wonder to myself, Do you want to marry me just because of compulsion, and in the least there is no love or interest. This I have to doubt, because you always leave me in important matters in our family. You'd rather make your own decisions without involving me, which eventually becomes a problem in our extended family.." after sighing, Alexander responded to his wife's words.
"It's not like that, brother, honestly Stevie is confused because Papa Armansyah was Papa Stevie in the past, and in the present his existence raises problems in our family. How Stevie had to say it, sis, Stevie was confused and didn't know how. But for matters of the heart, Stevie, please never doubt me.. Only Alex's brother, the only man who ever got close and eventually married me.." sobbing, Stevie answered her husband's doubts, and,
"Heh. Time will answer everything Stevie. I honestly still doubt you to this extent. But there is no need for you to bother about this trivial thing, we will go straight to Andre's house. I will desperately defend you, because you are my wife. Just because of my incompetence, so that I can miss this matter." said Alexander with a wry smile.
"Don't talk like that, Alex, let Stevie explain to Andre later. Alex's sister doesn't need to defend or answer on Stevie's behalf, because only Stevie knows what Stevie feels for herself.." Alexander fell silent, the man remained focused on driving.

"Sister Andre.. We've all listened to Stevie's reasoning, why she's still connected to Armansyah. Try all of us to put ourselves in the position of Stevie.., after all, Armansyah has not been able to hurt us either...?" Cassandra tries to appease her husband, who is provoked by her anger by listening to Stevie's explanation,
Alexander hugged his wife, trying to cheer Stevie up from feeling more guilty. Since then, the man has tried to be quiet, because of the message from Stevie, and has also been memorized by the character and attitude of Andreas Jonathan.
"Maybe.it's time this time, we try to make peace with the situation. Do not repeat the same mistakes again, we try to forget and live the days properly." continued Cassandra,
Andreas Jonathan looked at his wife, and Cassandra focused intently on her face. Finally the young man took a deep breath, and actually the plan to conduct an investigation in Maureen village had already been done. Unbeknownst to Alexander and Stevie, Andreas Jonathan has ordered his men to head to Maureen village. The man was very protective to protect his family.
"Hmm. okay Stevie, Alex. I ignored this problem this time. But I hope this is always a special reminder for you, Stevie. Do not underestimate the position of your family, just because of our mistakes, our family will be destroyed and scattered. So too you Alex.., watch your wife with all your soul.. Do not let this fatal mistake happen again. I don't want to hear it anymore." finally after taking a deep breath, Andreas Jonathan issued a statement, saying,
"Okay, thanks for understanding." said Stevie Lirih. The young girl still lowered her face down. The fingers on his hands were intertwined with each other.
Cassandra stood up from her seat, then the woman came to Stevie in her seat and hugged the girl tightly. On Cassandra's chest, the young girl vented her grief, and Andreas Jonathan's wife rubbed the young woman's back.
"It's over Stevie. Brother Andre. instead of being angry, just give a warning for all of us. trust Sandra..." Cassandra tried to calm her sister-in-law down.
Alexander and Andreas Jonathan just fell silent to see the two women hugging each other. No more words were spoken by them. It seemed like they were letting the two vent their grief with a cry.
