"Honey, who said that?". Jasmin asked while holding Zio's soft cheek.
If only Qiara didn't help her, it was likely that she still hated Qiara. But, today she felt sorry for Qiara, because Zio never accepted her presence.
"According to research by several scientists, cognitive abilities or intelligence are present on the X chromosome which is owned by women. Research using mice as a medium shows that mice injected with female genes experience larger brain development but smaller bodies, while mice injected with male genes experience greater brain development. conversely, namely a strong body and a smaller head. This suggests that cognitive abilities such as talent and intelligence can be passed down through the mother, while fathers are more likely to decrease nutrition and body strength. In addition, according to Roberth Lehrke, an American scientist said, the influence of the egg or female cells to human intelligence. He claims that every human intelligence is linked to the X chromosome, meaning that children are more likely to inherit cognitive abilities from their mothers ". Zio explained without leaving a single explanation as he read.
Jasmin and Julian are silent, they know that Zio is very smart. However, they never thought that Zio would discuss this matter with them.
"Honey, you look like your Papa. He was very smart as a child until now. But, you must not hate your mother, after all she has struggled life and death to give birth to you". Jasmin said after she was silent for a long time.
"If she loved me and Papa, she would not leave us. Therefore, auntie should not talk about her anymore. In addition, I don't want to paint anymore because it seems that talent did not come from papa". After saying that, Zio got down from the sofa and ran towards his room.
Jasmin became very worried, she immediately walked over to catch up with Zio. However, Julian's hand was pulled.
"Why did you stop me!". Jasmin asked, trying to remove Julian's hand grip from her hand.
"Leave him alone, one day he will definitely understand. So, we don't have to force him because he's the same as Qiara who can't be forced". Said Julian who won very well knowing his son.
Jasmin is weakened too, admitting that Zio is a bit stubborn. Need to be careful if you want to talk to him.
"Okay, I won't bother him by talking about his mother. Then, I'll meet him in the room as well as I want to rest before I tidy up my clothes to go to America. Oh yeah, send my greetings to Nathan! Tell him that I love him even though I can't help him at this time ".
After saying that, Jasmin walked slowly towards Zio's room. Jasmin's heart and mind are very tired from all the things that have happened. She also lost interest in dealing with her papa. Likewise with her mother who prefers to stay with her father even though she continues to be injured. Jasmin feels it's done and must leave immediately.
Julian sighed in seeing his sister's condition, he couldn't guess what Jasmin was thinking. But, he was determined to protect his sister from all the things that would hurt her.
Meanwhile, Qiara, who chose to relax at a restaurant not far from YM Entertainment, seemed to be enjoying her drink while hoping for good news from Julian.
However, Julian did not call her so she began to worry. Not long after that, Qiara finished her food and drink, after which she left her table.
Just as she was about to head for the main door, Qiara accidentally saw someone she knew very well sitting alone without any expression.
"Isn't that Demian?". Inner Qiara.
Even though she had told the truth, Qiara still hoped that if she and Demian could become friends and have a relationship with him, this would not harm anyone.
Qiara's hands began to tremble, unconsciously remembering how Demian had behaved when she learned about her marriage to Julian.
In the past, before Zio existed, Qiara still had a little hope of being with Demian. But now, all those feelings have disappeared without the slightest remaining.
"Why does Demian look pathetic like that? But, I can't meet him because maybe he doesn't want to interact with me anymore. But, I hope that Demian will find a better partner than me". Inner Qiara.
Qiara knows that today is not the right time, because there are so many eyes in this restaurant that can trace the two of them. She didn't want Julian to misunderstand if someone knew her and then recorded it.
Qiara sighed, after which she continued on her way out.
At the same time, Maxwell, who had long since passed out, began to open his eyes, his eyes vaguely looking up at the ceiling of his room.
The color of his eyeballs darkened like an endless black hole. It's just that, the aura around his body suddenly felt very cold, even though his clothes had been replaced by Rafael.
Maxwell really doesn't like it when his body is touched by servants, therefore he only allows Rafael to help him when he is sick.
Instantly, he remembered his last meeting with Vania before he returned to America.
Flashback.
That night, his car stopped in front of the apartment where Vania lived if she wanted to be alone.
Vania, who had just gotten out of his car, immediately turned her head back to see his handsome face.
"Max, would you like to stop by to drink your favorite juice?". Asked Vania with a sweet smile showing her thin reddish lips.
Because Maxwell was still annoyed at Vania who had secretly met Julian again, Maxwell turned his head lazily.
His pair of eyes looked flat and cold, did not contain any expression, and it made Vania who saw him feel goosebumps.
Maxwell didn't speak, but Vania didn't ask back because she understood Maxwell's attitude, she then smiled and said. "Okay, I'll go in now, you be careful on the road. Oh yeah, tomorrow I'll be waiting for you in the park. Therefore, don't miss out because I want to see you before leaving!".
"Come in!". Said Maxwell while nodding without smiling back at Vania.
"Yes".
After Vania turned around and walked into her apartment, Maxwell immediately left Vania's apartment with a feeling of chaos.
"Boss, do you want to go straight home to rest?". Rafael asked hesitantly because he knew his boss was in a bad mood.
"Tonight we have to go to America too, because my grandfather had urged me to come home". Maxwell replied after reading the message from his grandfather.
"Shall we go back to Miss Vania's apartment?". Asked Rafael.
"I'll send a message to her when I get there. So, continue the journey to the airport!".
"Yes boss!".
Maxwell's car also sped towards the airport, Maxwell did not want to tell Vania that he had left. Because he thought that Vania was resting.
The next morning.
After coming home from work, Vania went straight to the park to wait for Maxwell to come. She had made a scarf that she knitted herself for Maxwell to wear while in America.
All Vania knew, that Maxwell was leaving in the afternoon so she asked to meet briefly.
However, until night fell. Maxwell didn't come, Vania was disappointed and rushed home feeling confused because Maxwell couldn't be called.
After arriving in her room, Vania removed her makeup and went to take a shower.
After finishing showering, Vania lay on the bed because her body was very tired.
She rolled back and forth on the bed thinking about the uninformed Maxwell. I don't know whether because of thinking about Julian or because of Maxwell who didn't come. She was obviously very sleepy, but she couldn't sleep at all.
Not long after, Vania decided to surf on google to find interesting news.
Without realizing it, her fingers typed Maxwell's name in the search field.
Instantly, information about Maxwell appeared even though it was not accompanied by his photo because Maxwell did not like his photo to be displayed in any media.
In the search, it was written that Adamson's first grandson who was the president director of YM Group had completely taken over YM Group. The mysterious Maxwell is said to be a very assertive and nimble young entrepreneur. He has succeeded in boosting YM Group's business to the top level, competing with JJ Group when he was the vice president of YM Group.
In a short time, he has become a tough rival to the JJ Group which has been taken over by the business god Julian Al Vero.
The second news is about rumors about Maxwell's engagement to a rich heir who is the daughter of his grandfather's best friend.
"It seems like an ordinary girl like me should stop dreaming of getting involved with two powerful men making me feel bad. I thought letting Julian go and choosing Maxwell would make me feel better. But, I was wrong when I found out they had been best friends in the past. Now, what should I do? Meanwhile, they can always find me wherever I hide. Today, Maxwell is very naturally angry with me because I still let Julian find me, but what should I do? ". Vania thought while shedding tears.
After that, Vania took a deep breath as she had already guessed that something like this must happen among upper class people who only wanted to see their child side by side with their choice.
