In the morning, Daniel is already so tidy and will go to the office to replace Keenan's work during his honeymoon in Japan. He was neat in a gray suit without a tie because he doesn't like wearing ties...The 25-year-old man also combed his hair in a pompadé style and sprayed perfume on his clothes.

After feeling ready, Daniel immediately left the room across the living room and met Ethan who was walking towards the dining room for breakfast.

"Daniel, let's have breakfast first," said Ethan who was also neatly dressed in a black tuxedo complete with tie and wearing black-rimmed cylindrical glasses. The middle-aged man still looks handsome and cool like he is only 35 years old.

"Eh, I'm just having breakfast outside, Sir, because I have something to do this morning," said Daniel with a friendly smile.

"Hey, you're such a workaholic, Richard." Ethan smiled at Daniel who looked like Richard who was currently helping him manage Edward's legacy company.. "Well then, be careful and don't drive be too fast," he exclaimed later.

"Ready, sir," Daniel replied swiftly then he said goodbye to immediately go to the office.

Daniel walked out of the house and went straight to his car that was heated by Toni in the yard. he immediately got in and drove the car out the gate. The man did not drive towards the office but headed towards Nia's house which is located about 29km from Ethan's house.

"I have to find out about the reason she met that pimp," Daniel muttered, who was still thinking about his mission in revealing who Jasmine's biological mother was who he suspected was Nia.

Nia is having breakfast with her husband in the dining room. The middle-aged woman was already tidy by wearing a black knee-length skirt combined with a white top combined with a black blazer and tied her hair neatly. Meanwhile, her husband, wearing a gray sweater combined with black basic pants and wearing a scarf, is still sick.

"I think, you just meet your daughter and tell the truth. I'm sure she will understand your reasoning and at least she knows that you are her biological mother, not Marta," said Wildan, Nia's husband.

"What if she gets angry and doesn't want to accept me as her biological mother?" Nia asked angrily looking at her food which she still hadn't even eaten a bit.

"That's a consequence you have to accept and you have to try to convince yourself that you deserve forgiveness from him," explained Wildan wisely.

Nia sighed, then looked at her husband who was so supportive of her steps. If she wasn't afraid to admit to her husband that since she was not married she had a daughter, maybe she wouldn't lose her daughter, who now considers Marta a mother and even complies with all her wishes until she wants to be sold.

"I will try to meet her when the time is right," Nia said then continued her breakfast.

"Bring her here, I will treat her as my daughter too," said Wildan with a smile.

"Hopefully she will accept me," replied Nia.historical

They soon finished their breakfast activity. after finishing, Nia said goodbye to go to the office with the driver and bodyguard who had deliberately hired Wildan to look after Nia. it was not without reason that the man hired a bodyguard because he had many business enemies and several times he almost got injured because of it, he even got sick because of an accident caused by his enemy.

Daniel who had arrived in front of Nia's house immediately followed where Nia went. Until he arrived at the office, he got out of the car and met the middle-aged woman as she was about to enter a magnificent office building.

"Mrs. Nia," Daniel called as he walked over to Nia.

When she felt her name being called, Nia immediately turned her head and looked at the caller who turned out to be Daniel. She still remembered meeting the man in the parking lot of the hotel where Keenan and Jasmine's wedding was held.

"You?" Nia asked.

Daniel glanced at the office atmosphere which was already crowded with employees, he glanced back at Nia and said. "If you wish, I would like us to talk one-on-one."

"Just talk here, because I have to get it in 30 minutes," Nia exclaimed while glancing at her watch which was beautifully attached to her left wrist.

"Em, just a moment, Mrs. Let's just going to the canteen, it's not comfortable here.".Daniel glanced at the canteen which was next to the office building.

"Okay, just a moment."Nia finally agreed and walked with Daniel to the canteen which was not too big with walls dominated by brownish-yellow paint, there was a poster of the food menu near the door.

Arriving at the canteen, Nia and Daniel sat in the corner chairs, because the atmosphere of the cafeteria was still busy with employees having breakfast. They sat across from each other and ordered two hot teas.

"What are you talking about?" Nia asked while looking suspiciously at Daniel.

"Do you know Mrs. Marta? Yesterday I saw you at her house." Daniel is straight to the point.

"She's my old friend, so what?" Nia asked back with a suspicious look at Daniel who suddenly asked about her relationship with Marta.

Daniel smiled faintly because Nia glanced at him suspiciously. "I just find it strange, you are friends with a pimp while you are a rich businesswoman. You were friends with her since childhood or what?"

"We've been friends since the age of 18," Nia explained then glanced at the waitress who put two glasses of hot tea on the table.

"Are you related by blood to that pimp?" asked Daniel.

"Of course not, we even live from cities far from each other..we knew when we were teenagers overseas," Nia explained with an awkward smile.

"That's weird," Daniel mumbled as he stroked his chin.

"What's so strange?" Nia asked with a frown.

"Her daughter who just married the son of my boss is very much like you...I thought you were related to her," Daniel explainedintending to provoke Nia's confession.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence, I also just met her daughter when I married Keenan...I also just found out that she's Marta's daughter," Nia said with an awkward smile as if she was hiding something.

"What a coincidence, because that pimp didn't love her like a mother to her daughter and now I've met you who look so much like her and you suddenly meet that pimp after coming to the wedding...Did you just realize something or are you looking for something in the house?"

"No, I came because I haven't seen her in a long time." Nia still hasn't confessed.

"Really? Not because you want to meet the daughter you entrusted to him 22 years ago?" asked Daniel who started to get to the point.

"Sorry, why do you ask that? What's the reason?" Nia asked back with a bit of annoyance.

"Why don't you just answer? Or are you afraid to admit your daughter?" asked Daniel with a probing look.

Nia was silent and at a loss for words because she guessed that the man in front of her already knew some of her secrets, there was no longer any chance or reason to dodge.

"I just feel that I don't deserve to see her because I have abandoned her, I've been evil as a mother, maybe if she finds out that I am her mother, she will hate me for leaving it to a pimp who is crazy about wealth," Nia explained with her head down. sluggish, she finally confessed everything.Daniel breathed a sigh of relief at finally being able to find Jasmine's birth mother. That same morning, he tried to convince Nia to keep showing herself to Jasmine that she was his real mother.

.Even though she initially refused, Nia finally agreed to meet Jasmine when she returned from Japan. He was ready to be accepted or not as a biological mother, but Daniel kept on convincing him that Jasmine was an innocent, kind and forgiving girl...The man gave him a glimmer of

hope to return to embrace the daughter he had been looking for all this time.
