At Cha Mansion

"Where is Daryl? Isn't he supposed to be the one to bring back father instead of you?" Harry questioned as soon as his father arrived with Liam.

"It's Daryl's wedding day today son. That's why I asked Liam to bring me instead so that Daryl can enjoy his special day," Marius' answered instead.

He then turned to Liam and said, "Thank you for taking care of me tonight Liam. You can go ahead and leave me here since I'm sure your wife is waiting."

"No worries uncle. She's with her sister so she won't miss me too much. Anyway, you should get some rest now. Jorge and I will visit you more often from now on," Liam declared with a smile, enjoying the irritated face of Harry.

'Just wait till Daryl returns and see how we will barge in and out of this house,' he mused with a grin, recalling the old days where he and Jorge would not let the mother and son duo bully Daryl whenever they were around.

Liam bid his farewell and soon left the mansion.

"Father, Daryl got married today? To whom?" Harry asked with a frown, hoping that what he heard was wrong. And why so suddenly? Daryl probably just married some random woman so he did not hear anything about it.

"Oh, yes he married Kenzie Chua. I believe you have heard of her and her company since they are one of the best investors in our country…"

"What?! He married Kenzie?!!!" Harry shouted as all the blood drained from his face. It's a good thing his father could not see his expression and doubt him. It was because Kenzie was his target!

"Yes, you heard me… I'm sorry if Dary did not invite you and your mother. It was so sudden that he picked me up just this morning. Daryl said that he will prepare a grand wedding soon so you and your mother can attend that one…"

'Who cares if we can't attend! How dare that bastard to marry Kenzie when he himself did not even start to make his move on the woman he chose!!!' he silently grunted.

Harry immediately composed himself and held his father's hand.

"You must be tired, father. Let me walk you back to your room. Mother is still out but she's on her way home. I'm happy that Daryl got married. It would be nice if my mother and I can attend the same next time. Tomorrow I will prepare the wedding gifts for Daryl and his wife…" Harry said in his calm tone.

Marius smiled and replied, "Thank you, son. I really hope you and Daryl will be more mature this time and reconcile. I'm already too old and sick now. It will be nice if you two are helping each other out as a family."

Then he heaved a long deep sigh and added, "Handling the company is a big responsibility for you to handle alone. I hope Daryl would take notice of it and involve himself in the family business…"

Harry's face darkened. 'Am I not enough?! I'm taking care of everything well up to this point and here you are still waiting and hoping for that bastard who left you alone to return and take everything from me!' he scorned silently.

But again he calmed himself before he said, "It's okay father. Mother and I can manage everything. It's the least we can do for the kindness and generosity you showed to us. Daryl probably enjoys his life as a lawyer more than being a businessman.

His shares are safe with him and he has someone taking care of it on his behalf. He probably did not want to take more responsibility in business matters. I will try talking it out with him again."

Marius smiled and said, "Thank you for understanding Harry. The family business was never actually mine, to begin with. It belonged to Daryl's mother, Darleen. It's their family business. So his mother would surely be happy if her son would be active in it."

It was initially named Tan Group but later on, he and Darleen agreed to change it to Cha Group since Darleen entrusted him with everything about the company and Darleen wanted to use their family surname since Daryl was born.

Harry clenched his jaw. So what if Daryl's mother's side was the founder of the family business? Daryl was irresponsible while he and his mother worked hard to achieve what they have now.

He did not agree with his mother at first and tried not to harm his father at any cost because Marius Cha was a real father to him, but Daryl's presence was always a threat to him. Now the sudden bonding of the father and son has increased the threat.

He could only convince his mother not to harm his father because Daryl was away and hated his father so it was an assurance that Daryl would never engage himself with Cha Group. They have already prepared everything and soon they would take over the business completely.

"Father…" Harry whispered as soon as he settled Marius on his bed.

"Yes, son?" Marius asked with a smile.

Harry shook his head but instead suddenly hugged Marius.

He gently stroked Harry's back and whispered, "I know you and your mother feel threatened because of Daryl but I hope you all clear your differences and reconcile. You may not be my blood like Daryl, but I love you like a real son Harry. And I am grateful for what you are doing as a son for this old man. It must be hard on you."

Harry bit his lip. Yes, it was hard for him because he was torn between his love for his mother who gave birth to him, and his father who treated him like a real son. His mother would always tell him that everything they were doing was for his own good since they only have each other to rely on.

But in his heart, he cared a lot for the father who honed him as he grew up. He loved him so much that he was protecting the old man even from his mother.

Everything was Daryl's fault. It was his mere existence that was threatening to crumble their happy family. If there was a person who should get lost… It should be Daryl Cha alone!
