If they had children, there was no doubt who would be the person to tell the bedtime stories to them. But now while waiting for babies. The man himself wanted to listen to some interesting stories. Stefan smiled handsomely to the narrator and lecturer.

Wirata could not help but bent down to kiss on his forehead. He was so cute. But she would not say the word 'CUTE' to his ears. She knew he was not a big fan of this word.

"The opportunity to be born as a human is extremely difficult. That opportunity is as a parable of a blind turtle in a big ocean. He dives deep under the water. Every one hundred years the blind turtle will pop his head up to the surface once."

"Only once in a hundred years?" The voice inserted with curiosity.

"Yes. And in this ocean, there is one small floating rubber ring. Its size is only a little bigger than the turtle's head."

"Who puts it there? Why can't they give the turtle a bigger one?"

The listener was seeing the picture in his mind.

"Just listen and don't interrupt."

The storyteller gave a warning. So the listener shut his mouth immediately and nodded.

"How much possibility for the blind turtle to pop his head up to fit exactly into the rubber ring can you imagine? But however, the chance is still more than one soul to be born as a human being."

"Really? Is that hard?"

Stefan asked with surprise in his tone. He had never heard a story like this before.

"Yes. It's extremely hard. You are very lucky to be born as a human being. Therefore, you should love your life and take the best care of yourself. We don't know how long we are going to live. Any day could be our last day. So we should cherish every minute of it and try our best to be good human beings. Be thankful for the opportunity we have been given to come here on earth to learn the most wonderful experience for our souls."

"In the past life, you must have been a nun." he teased her and smiling.

"If you talk to my mother, you will be preached until your soul is clean. "

She said and smiled at him. Stefan would not tell her that he had already been preached by her mother.

"I understand what you are trying to say. From now on, I will be careful and take care of my life because I am not on my own anymore. I have you, the person I love more than my life. I want to live a long life with you. Will you marry me, Wine?

He popped the question and she did not prepare for that. They had just understood each other an hour ago.

"Do you want to marry me?" she sounded surprised. Stefan looked at her.

"Yes, of course. What's wrong with you, Wine? I love you. I want to be with you forever. I want to bind you to me as soon as possible. Society rule says that marriage is the way I can own you forever. So, I want to marry you tomorrow. "

It was Stefan's turn to give a long speech.

Wirata could not help but smiled and shook her head to hear the man giving an order. Stefan Mackenzie was back now.

"Why shook your head? Won't you marry me? "

"I shook my head to your marriage proposal."

"Why? Is it not as romantic as you dreamed to hear? Well, it is the true feeling from my heart. All my feeling I have for you. Will you marry me? Tomorrow?"

He asked again. His face started to get sulky.

Wirata smiled broadly. What could she do with him? The man who was good at demanding. She looked at him and sighed softly.

"I want to marry you tomorrow. "

She replied. That brought a big delighted smile to his handsome face.

"Then let's do it."

Stefan hurried to say.

"But..."

"There is no BUT! I hate But!"

He said immediately.

Wirata bent down to kiss on his cheeks.

"Please marry me, Wine."

He begged and pulled her face to kiss on her mouth for a moment. Wirata let him kiss her until he satisfied.

"We could do that if we have only two of us. But don't forget that you have parents. You are the eldest son. Your father has already found a woman for you. "

The soft voice said to remind him. Stefan frowned suddenly.

"Why did you keep saying this? Do you mean Melissa? "

He asked with his eyebrows knotted together.

"Yes."

Wirata answered. She loved him and she would not be in his life just to serve her happiness. He was the man with responsibilities and he had to carry his family name and legacy. If she wanted to be with him. She would not drag him down but she would raise herself up to match him.

"Because my father still doesn't know you. I believe if he knows you, he will like you surely. Next month he will come to Las Vegas. There will be a party at the company I will introduce you to him. "

Stefan said with confidence in his belief. Wirata was very special. She could charm a bird out of a tree if she wanted to. His mother had already been fascinated by her. Sam was her close friend. His father was tough and decisive, according to the characteristics of a man who was a leader throughout his life. But probably not beyond the ability of Wirata to win him. Stefan believed in her completely.

"If he doesn't like me?"

She asked.

"I don't care."

Stefan answered immediately. And his voice meant what he just said. He did not give a damn.

A man like Stefan, no one would dare to control and ordered him even his father. Even though he was his father's son and Stefan loved and respected him very much. But the matter of love and heart, he would not let anyone interfere with his choice. He could make a decision himself.

However, Stefan wanted Wirata to be accepted by his father. She was an intelligent woman and had abilities in many things. She was mentally strong with a great personality. Stefan wanted to introduce her to his father. His father would agree with him that Stefan had got sharp eyes to be able to choose a brilliant woman to be by his side.

Wirata kissed softly on his hair. She believed him wholeheartedly. He had got full leadership and he would lead her life to where they belonged. She knew that she would be able to put her heart and her life in his hands without a doubt.

"Let's talk about it another time. Now I am missing Summer."

She stopped the discussion about his father for now. It was still fresh for what had happened tonight. One thing at a time. Wirata thought.

Her instincts told her that it would not be that easy to be with Stefan Mackenzie. But it did not mean she would give up. Instead, she would think about it carefully and planned to do her best for him and for their lives together.

"Yes. You are cruel to run away and left your son on his own like that."

Stefan teased her. The tall figure sprang up to sit. Wirata just smiled. She grabbed his hands to clean and took care of the wounds. He let her do it until finished. She put everything back to its place.

"Let's go home."

She said. Stefan stood up and wrapped his arm around her waist. He felt warm in his heart with the words 'Home' she said. Now it's his and her home.

"My hands hurt."

he moaned a little. Wirata shook her head when she heard that.

"Why did you have to do that? Please don't ever do anything crazy like that again."

She complained, lifted his hands up, and kissed each hand gently, wished to ease his pain.

"My heart ached that I hurt your feelings. I had to take some stupid blood out of my system like this. "

Stefan said. He would never forget tonight.

"If in that case, next time, just let me know. I can help you with that. You don't have to rely on the wall to get your blood out. I will take care of it myself."

Wirata said, causing Stefan to smile broadly with her statement. She was always smart with words. He had to raise his hands up for her. But there was one thing that she had to give up and surrender to him...

Stefan grinned craftily when thinking about the specific skills she would never win him.

"I will drive."

She pulled the key from his pocket. They rode the elevator down and walked to the car arm in arm.

When they arrived at the penthouse, Ben and James were lying down on the sofas waiting. Both stood up when they heard the door open. Saw the boss walked in with his lady. They looked at each other and sighed with relief.

"Thanks so much for taking care of Summer."

Stefan said. Ben and James had made eye contact again. Since the boss had his Missy, he started to have good manners and know how to say thanks to his subordinates for those little things.

"He ate and gone to bed already. "

James reported. They loved that little dog the same as everybody who saw the puppy. He was so cute and smart. Who would not fall for his genuine puppy's eyes?

Now the dog had gained weight and very round because the boss liked to make him eat all day. Hopefully, when the boss had his own children, he wouldn't treat his kids like the way he treated Summer!

"You guys can go to sleep now."

Stefan nodded, allowed his two trusted bodyguards to rest. Both Ben and James bowed a little while saying goodnight.

"It looks like they have sorted things out already."

James said as soon as they left the room.

"What a relief! But the boss's hands are looking bad as if he had punched a wall. "

Ben, who knew the boss's behavior as if he could see it!

"He loves her so much. He would have kicked his own backside if he could. It an expensive lesson for him tonight. I am sure he will record this in his memory forever."

Jame added.

"Yes, and you also. Don't ever let two women you are dating into the same restaurant."

Ben told Jame with a serious voice.

"I only date one woman at a time. You should tell yourself, Ben."

Jame shot back with a knowing grin.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. I don't date often. and I do know more than one restaurant in this town."

Ben argued.

"But you are dating two bikini models from the same company, be careful. It might be like the boss's case."

"I am not dating anybody right now. Don't you tell your sister, understand?"

Ben said.

"What about my sis?" James asked in a high pitch.

"Nothing."

Ben replied with an indifferent face and stayed quiet after that.

James looked at his friend's face with suspicion. The two rode the elevator down to their floor and went to their own rooms.
