Bernardo stood in front of the casino. Because he received a phone call that Stefan was coming. When the money godfather’s car was completely stopped, James quickly opened the door for the boss. Stefan carried Jeffy in his arms Ben prepared Jeffy’s cart for the boss to put his son in it.

Bernardo shook his head to see such a scene. The big badass mafia was pushing his son’s trolley with Ben carrying a big backpack. James was pulling the dog’s leash and the muscled men in the black suits, about a dozen of them, wearing sunglasses were following!

“Jesus Christ! Man. Why have you brought the baby and the dog here?”

Bernardo shouted at Stefan. Fucking idiot! He thought to himself, did not speak it out loud as Bernardo did not want Jeffy to hear and think that his handsome uncle was rude.

“Jeffy wants to come out and change the atmosphere. He has stayed in too long.”

Stefan answered, wearing invisible ‘Good-Dad sign’ flashing on his forehead.

“Jeffy or his badass daddy? I bet Wirata doesn’t know that you have brought Jeffy here. Be careful! You might be getting beaten by your wifey when you get home.”

Bernardo knew Stefan was terrified of his wife. Stefan sent a dark glare to the Grand Costar godfather.

“Don’t you tell her about this or else.”

Stefan threatened Bernardo. He knew the jackass had a bad mouth when he was with Wirata. He liked to please his wifey and Stefan was really annoyed sometimes.

 Bernardo shook his head again.

“And all these men just for what?”

Bernardo swept his eyes to Stefan’s bodyguards. It was ridiculous to see his former enemy turned friend to push a baby trolley followed with the big men and a dog was wiggling his tail as though he was so happy to be here.

“I have heard that you have a lot of guests came to say Hello and have been having fun parties. So, just in case there is one today, I can join you, too.”

The man must have forgotten that he was a father now. He could not just jump into a fight whenever he wanted one like when he was single.

“Great! You know my situation too well but still brought your son here. What an idiot father you are!  If anything happens, you’ll get killed, not from anybody’s hands but it will be your wife’s very own hands, base on putting Jeffeo at risk. I am sure of it!”

Bernardo preached Stefan.

“She won’t know if you don’t tell her. And if you do, I won’t tell you the important stuff.”

Stefan raised a corner of his mouth into a smirk making Bernardo narrowed his eyes in suspicion about what ‘the important stuff’ Stefan talking about.

“Like what?” He asked for an example.

“Like…Hm, something you can’t know.”

Stefan made Bernardo want to know more and he was enjoying it to see the man frown with a thinking head.

“If I can guess. It’s about Amiya?”

Bernardo did not let the topic go easily. Stefan had been very good at keeping the secret about Amiya from him.

“Nah…”

Stefan pretended to refuse but his smirk was giving it away. So Bernardo knew his guessing was right! 

“You better spit it out. But let’s talk upstairs. Follow me.”

Bernardo said then led them to the private elevator. Stefan ordered the rest of the men to stay down here as there was no need to go up. His men knew Bernardo’s men so they could take an opportunity to talk to them to find out some interesting news!

When they reached Bernardo’s penthouse. Stefan and the gang followed in. They went to sit in the big living room. Murphy went to the bar and poured drinks to his boss as he knew his favorite. He brought a glass of expensive whiskey to Bernardo and turned to Stefan.

“What would you like, sir?” Murphy asked the money mogul.

“Grape juice.”

Stefan’s choice made Bernardo suffocate and cough.

“What?! Grape juice?!”

He made a high pitched voice.

“Yeah?! What’s wrong with grape juice? It’s a very healthy choice. I don’t drink whiskey in front of my son. I don’t want to be a bad example, right, Jeffy?”

He said to Bernardo with a proud voice and looked at Jeffeo who was still in the trolley and staring at his daddy’s face.

“So, a tiger has completely turned to be a pussycat, huh?”

Bernardo was mocking Stefan. He lifted the whiskey to drink, enjoying to see Stefan made a stern face.

“I am not a pussycat! Never! This is called, a good father. Only a good man who will understand this. And you are not one of them.”

“Hahaha. Okay, man. If you say so. And you intend to be like this until when?”

“I don’t have to schedule to behave well. It is my nature. So I don’t put a timetable when it will be finished. But I can drink, of course, just don’t want to do it in front of my son. Also, he doesn’t like the smell of it.”

Stefan had noticed that Jeffeo did not like the smell of brandy. Once when he drank and he was trying to kiss the baby. He cried and put his face away. So since then, Stefan did not drink because he was afraid his baby would not let the father kiss him.

“Fair enough. But thank God that I haven’t planned to have a girlfriend or wife or kids any time soon. In fact, I think I will not have any. My life is perfect as it is. Having a family is not suitable for my lifestyle. And especially, I don’t want to be a pussycat!”

Bernardo did not let Stefan off easily.

“Be careful with what you wish for, Berdie! And I don’t come here to let you mock me. So let’s make some useful talk. Tell me what’s new about the bastard BB?”

Stefan changed the topic. He looked at Jeffeo. Now the baby’s eyes closed. He was still sleepy as Stefan woke him up before his usual time.

 “The story is the same as what Ben and James have told you.”

Bernardo cut it short as he knew Stefan had already known about his activities and what was going on at the casino. Stefan’s men would report all they knew to their boss and Bernardo was sure they knew a lot!

 The doorbell rang. Somebody was at the door. Tyson walked to it and looked through the peephole in the middle of the door. 

 Tyson opened the door widely. Bernardo’s bodyguard from downstairs walked in quickly and bowed to the two bossed.

“Boss, there is a fight at a baccarat table,”

the subordinate reported in an agitated tone. Bernardo immediately sprang up from his chair.

“Again?! Why has it happened this time?”

Bernardo asked with his serious voice. 

“I think they might be the ones that have been sent to disrupt you, boss.”

The bodyguard said.

“OK, you, follow me. Stefan, you are waiting here, understood?

 “Hey … I’m going too.”

“Fucking idiot! This is not about you. It’s my own business to deal with. Watch your child and don’t go outside until I come back. Let me go clear it first.”

Bernardo yelled at Stefan. He forgot the rule he wrote by himself about no swearing in front of the baby! Bernardo then walked out of the door.

“James, Ben, You watch Jeffy and Summer for me. I am going downstairs.”

Stefan said to his men. But Jeffeo suddenly cried out very loudly.

“Wa Wa Wa…”

Jeffeo cried as if he knew his dad was going to join the band. Stefan bent down to talk to his baby.

“Shhhhh… Don’t cry, son. Daddy is here.”

Stefan said and hurried to give him milk from a bottle. The baby stopped crying. And when Stefan stood up. He started crying again.

“Oh, shhh, daddy is not going, okay? A B C D E F G…”

Stefan started singing for Jeffeo. Ben and James turned to look at each other and laughed.

“You will be dead meat if you laugh at me!”

The boss threatened, making the two bodyguards shut their smile immediately and Jame brought out his phone. He started to record his boss with his baby. The baby cried out loud while the father was singing for him. It was so lovely but hilarious at the same time to see such a scene. The powerful godfather had put down his weapons and the things he used to like.

All of the reasons… just for his beloved wife and baby.
