BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1643 - Ron's 21st Birthday (10)
Mr. Heine was waiting for the valet to get his car, when he was approached by two security guards.
"Mr. Heine?" One guard asked.
He nodded reluctantly.
"Please, follow us this way…"
He wanted to ask where are they taking him and what for, but two more bulky men stood next to him and he walked with them obediently without making a sound.
Mr. Heine sighed internally. There used to be a time when he would look at these people sternly and demand an explanation, but since Julia's crimes were exposed and he lost everything, he lost his confidence as well. He is convinced that even if he shouts for help, no one will help him because he is a nobody.
…
In the study…
Mr. Heine paused when he saw Ron and Zula sitting on the sofa.
After a small nod from Ron, the security guards left the study and closed the door to give them privacy.
Ron gestured to the sofa chair, and his father took a seat.
Mr. Heine observed the study and saw that it didn't change much since he owned this place. Even the portrait of Elaine is still on the wall. This solidified his suspicion that this villa belongs to Ron.
"Why am I here? I thought that you don't want to talk to me anymore." Mr. Heine said stiffly.
"I don't. But it seems that you want to tell me something, so… this is your chance." Ron responded.
"I already told you that I'm sorry. What Julia did was... horrid. I didn't want to believe that something like that is possible. Ron, if I could go back, I would, and I would fix things, but I can't. When you were born, I promised your mother that I would take care of both of you, and now… The only thing I have is regret that I messed up everything…" Mr. Heine's voice was shaky as his chin trembled. But in a way, he felt better after saying this with Ron as an audience.
He took a deep breath and composed himself. "Congratulations on your engagement. It seems that you found yourself a wonderful girl. I wish you good luck."
Mr. Heine didn't know what else to say and Ron was quiet, so he stood up, ready to leave.
"Zula is a wonderful girl. She is the best." Ron said. "I hope that you will confirm it as you get to know her better."
Mr. Heine's eyes widened in surprise. "Will you acknowledge me as your father?"
"No matter what happened, you are my father. Tomorrow morning, I will come with Zula to the factory to make an official announcement to all employees that I'm the new CEO. If you are free, after that we can go and grab lunch. If you want."
"Of course. Do you want me to make a reservation?"
Ron rejected. "No need. My people will take care of it. I hope that you are not leaving before dinner."
Mr. Heine understood that Ron is telling him it's time to leave the study and he was not willing to admit that he was about to head out for the night.
"I look forward to our lunch tomorrow. If you excuse me, I will return to the event, the dinner must be in progress." Mr. Heine smiled and walked out.
He held onto the doorknob and paused. He needed a confirmation: "Ron… Are you the owner of this villa?"
"Yes." Ron had no intention of hiding it from his father. He will find out sooner or later anyway.
Mr. Heine was not sure how he feels about Ron owning this villa, but it's better than a stranger.
When Mr. Heine left the study, Zula hugged Ron.
"You did great."
"It's difficult to see my father like this. He was always confident, in charge of things and now he is… submissive."
"Isn't this what you wanted?"
"I don't know anymore." Ron admitted.
Zula smiled. It seems that Ron is getting ready to forgive his father. "If things go well, will you offer him to live here?"
Ron puffed his cheeks. He didn't think about it. He got the villa a year ago, but they came here only a handful of times. Whenever they visited the factory, they would arrive early in the morning and return that same day.
Ron can see from Zula's expectant look that she hopes how Ron will reconcile with his father. Maybe he can be stern toward his father, but he can't deny Zula anything. After all, this is not about forgiving, this is about giving a second chance. And he promised to Zula that he will do so.
"Uhm… I'm not sure. Maybe he can stay in one of the guest bedrooms. At least the place will not be empty. How will we explain expansions, the second villa in the back, and all these people?"
Zula understood that he is asking about the army members (aka the security), but she didn't see that as a problem. "We expanded, added, and security is here. Even if he sees them training, that is your security training. We have in the basement secure rooms that require biometrics for access, and if anything is not for your father to see, we will keep it there… If he asks about the restricted sections, tell him that it's something related to the Whites and your father will not dare ask further..."
Ron listened to Zula and smiled. She has a solution for everything. Maybe he will suggest to his father tomorrow during lunch to move back into the villa. Maybe.
"I am proud of you."
Zula's words pulled Ron out of his thoughts.
"You are?"
Zula hummed in confirmation. "The fact that you can give second chances means that you are in control. You have the power."
Ron liked this. "I have the power to make you accept to spend your life with me."
"I am in love with a man who is destined for greatness."
Ron moved his fingers in the air, and the door of the study made a distinctive 'CLICK' sound that it's being locked.
Zula widened her eyes when she saw that Ron is approaching her with a sly smirk at the corner of his lips and she knew what it means.
"Ron… Party. Guests." Zula reminded him.
"You said that I am powerful and great. That made me happy. And I wish to share my happiness with you…" Ron mumbled while lifting the skirt of her gown.
"Can't you wait until after the party?"
Ron gave her a quick kiss on the lips before saying: "One minute."
"What?"
"I need one minute. If after that you still want us to return to the event, I will stop whatever I'm doing, and we will go."
Zula could not believe this. What one minute? She knows that Ron can fire her up in a matter of seconds, and he knows that as well.
Ron smirked when she lifted her bottom so that he can remove her panties.
…
In the event hall, dinner was being served.
"Stop giving food to the dogs under the table." Sarah reminded Aiden. He is too lenient with them, and she is surprised how they got any training at all.
"Easy for you to say, they are not tugging on your pants while asking for food." Aiden grumbled.
Sarah leaned backward in her chair and lifted the tablecloth, and there they are… three black German Shepherds, nudging Aiden's legs with their noses. If they nudge a few times and he does not give anything, they start whimpering until he gives in.
Sarah shook her head in disapproval. "They do that only to you. When you are not around, they eat from their bowl and stay away from the dining table."
Aiden shoot Sarah a side-glance. "Are you saying that I'm spoiling them?"
"No. I said that you already spoiled them."
Aiden protested. "What can I do? They are so cute…"
"They were cute, as pups. Now they are huge, and they can eat all the food from this table and still be hungry. They had their meal; they are only asking for treats… You will spoil our kids like this as well."
Aiden paused and looked at Sarah in disbelief. "Please, don't tell me that this is the reason we are not having kids."
He saw that her mood feel and he regretted for bringing up that topic. Even though Sarah is not talking about it, Aiden knows that she wants them to have kids, just as he does.
Aiden ducked under the table and spoke sternly to Hero, Bella, and Luna: "Out! Go in the garden and sit until I call for you."
Sarah watched three dogs obediently dash out of the event hall and then her sight landed on Aiden who smiled victoriously.
Sarah rolled her eyes. "This only proves that you are spoiling the dogs on purpose."
Aiden exhaled. "No matter what I do, it's not good."
Sarah looked at Aiden with a complex expression. She wanted to tell him that she is not taking pills, but she decided not to because it should be a surprise, when her period is late, and she does the test and it comes positive… And she hopes that it will be soon.
"Well, at least I can eat without disturbances..." Aiden mumbled and resumed working on his dinner.
Sarah leaned her head on his shoulder. "Whatever you do, it's perfect."
Aiden glanced at her and smiled.
