"I can tidy up everything myself. You better go over to the middle aged woman. She's been waiting for you for a long time." Said Anita while glancing occasionally at Rena who was now sitting outside the cake shop. Anita's words made Elena look up and see rena. Elena did not think that the woman was still waiting for her. She previously prayed that Rena could not stand waiting and left. But it turned out that Elena was wrong, because she was still waiting even though three hours had passed. It seems Elena can't escape, she has to face and talk to Rena. Elena doesn't know what Rena will say to her. She also didn't know what mood she was in right now. Could it be that she came here to be angry with her lies and pretense of being Elise? Or did rena come to warn her to stay away from Brian and not even think about taking Dean? Whatever the reason, Elena should immediately speak to that woman.

Elena's heart beat rapidly. she tidied up her things and went out of the shop. Elena approached Rena and sat in front of the woman. Rena, who had been looking at the highway, now turned and saw Elena already sitting in front of her.

​​

"How are you?" Rena asked starting their conversation. Rena remembers that it was Elena who got evil and heinous treatment from the tiara. So, she asked how Elena was doing first.

"I'm fine. How mom- I mean, how did you know where I was? Did you also know everything?" Ask Elena first. Elena must know the extent of Rena's knowledge about the agreement between her and Brian.

"Of course from the results of the investigation conducted by my hired detective. And I already know everything." Somehow Rena's heart was really not happy when Elena called her mistress. Maybe because she was more comfortable when Elena called her Mommy as she used to.

Elena was silent, because she knew everything. That middle-aged woman must have known about Elena who asked for a payment of 500 million for the agreement. Maybe Rena will also think the same as Brian first? Who thinks that Elena is a cheap mercenary girl. Elena's heart turned sour at the thought that she would insult and belittle her. Her closeness to Rena used to make Elena think of Rena as her own mother. So, it would be very painful if someone who was already considered a mother herself looked with contempt and condescension.

Elena strengthened her heart and asked, "Then, what happened you came and met me?"

"First to see and make me one hundred percent sure if Elise has a twin sister."

"Second of all, I want to talk about Dean."

"Dean? What's with him? Is he okay?" Hearing Dean's name being mentioned, Elena immediately panicked and worried. What was wrong with her son until Rena came to see her?

"Dean, fine. I want to talk about custody."

"Dean's custody. Madame don't need to worry, I'm not going to sue Dean's custody, and I'm also bound by a contract regarding custody of Dean. I've agreed to give full custody of Dean to Brian."

"So, Madame don't have to worry that I will grab and take Dean away." Continue elena again

"So, you're never going to claim custody of Dean at all?" Elena nodded at Rena's question.

"You don't love Dean?"

"Of course I really love him. There is no mother who does not care and love her own biological son. What's more, I struggle between life and death to defend and protect him."

"Then, why don't you protest and demand custody of Dean?"

"Because from the start I agreed to this deal. I have to accept the fact that I can't raise Dean and give custody of him to Brian and Elise."

"You don't think about actions like kidnapping and stealing Dean secretly? Or trying to seduce and tempt Brian to divorce Elise and accept you?"

"What did you say ?! I can't possibly do things like that."

"To be honest, I do have the desire to kidnap and steal Dean from you, but I know that it will only hurt us all. Apart from me who betrayed that agreement, I also made the three of you sad and hurt. Because you all really need him. The presence of Dean. Plus, I could not possibly raise Dean and provide for all his needs like you do. So, I have to bury deep thoughts of kidnapping Dean. And accept all this reality for the good of Dean alone. "

"Regarding teasing and stealing Brian from Elise, I don't want to do that. I won't take away the happiness that belongs to Elise."

"Tell me don't you love Brian?" Rena's question was never expected by Elena. She was very surprised and didn't know what to answer. It sounds simple with a yes or no answer. But somehow it is very difficult for Elena to answer.

"Elena, do you love Brian or not?" Rena asked again while observing the look on Elena's face. The young woman's bead shook for a moment and averted her gaze from Rena's gaze. Avoiding staring at each other.

"I'm not." Elena replied briefly, her eyes still avoiding Rena's eyes.

"Really?" Rena's insistence forces Elena to tell the truth.

Realizing that Rena still didn't believe her answer, Elena made a fist and looked at the woman intently.

"Yeah, I don't love Brian. I already have a boyfriend, anyway."

"So it's true that you agreed to do that crazy deal to save your lover's life?"

Elena's eyes widened in an instant and looked at Rena. She did not expect Rena to know that too. It seemed, the detective that the middle-aged woman hired was so skilled and possessed great abilities, that she knew it too.

After relaxing from her surprise, Elena nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

And after that they both fell silent. Rena was watching Elena closely. She did not think there was a woman who could do something like that to save her lover.
