Chapter 365 - 366 I will protect you from all harm (3)

"I promise to all of you, I don't know anything about those plans. I, don't have any idea that my grandparents have plans like that, and about Sofia and her mother, I am expecting that they will do something to Luna but not the kids. Sofia is very envious of Luna and we all know that. She is the reason why my marriage with Luna didn't work out" Louie explained. 

Sometimes, Louie faces an extremely challenging situation in his life, especially in his business. It leaves him feeling physically, emotionally, and mentally distressed that he begins to feel weak and helpless. But right now, in his situation, he feels that he was draining, all of his strength is draining and he sees it as an end to everything. Even if he must remember that he needs to be stronger and capable so that he could think clearly on what or which will be his next move, he still needs to see to it if the people he loves will be affected by his decisions.​​

He needs to let his own emotions out by releasing all of his feelings, reaching out to people who can support and help him, and praying that this nightmare will come to an end. He knows that he needs to focus first on building himself even if he feels broken in both body, mind, and soul. 

Louie knew very well that he was not there in Luna's life during her darkest night and darkest times, even in the worst days of her life, he was not there to protect her. But this time, this time was different, worst day, worst time, darkest night or day, and even whatever darkest it may see, he will be there for her and for the kids. He will be man enough for her. 

Every time that he can see Luna crying after what horrible things he did to her, he always thinks that she was acting. But until one day Old Housekeeper Lee told him that she always hears Luna's cries in the middle of the night. Old Housekeeper Lee also told him that "Louie, crying is a way your eyes speak when your mouth can't explain how broken your heart is. I hope there will be a time that you will make Luna smile and laugh without restrictions. The smile and laughter will be genuine and that time I can tell that she was no longer broken."

Then suddenly the door of the conference room opened, Dawn, Winter, and Dimitri together with the big bosses came inside. The Cheung Elders, Ethan, Kim, Edward, Allen, and the Wu couple were also with them. "How's Mom, Daddy?" Dawn asks Francois as the twins' run toward Francois and the scene breaks Louie's heart. 

"Your Mom is still sleeping, don't fret, I already ask Athena, Apollo, Aeolus, and Hera to look after and guard her in our medical room," says Francois as he tried to pacify the two children. 

"Would you like to explain everything that we had heard a while ago Louie? Why is it that your grandparents already know the existence of Luna being alive and about the twins? Why are they planning something against my granddaughter that you already left behind for almost five years?" Lucas Cheung burst out his anger at the poor Louie, who is sitting at the center. Lucas is not shouting, but his tone of voice is very ferocious and everyone in the room could feel that he was holding up his anger. 

"Old Master Lucas, Sir, I am really don't know what happened. I didn't talk and see my grandparents after they have found out that I divorce Luna six years ago. They even disowned me as their grandson at that time for letting go of Luna and hurting her. Dad can prove it to you, for he was also disowned by them for not protecting Luna when we are still together. The conversation between my grandparents (Louie took a pause), actually was already reported to me by my lawyer Atty. Rebecca Alberts. She already said that they are planning on giving the surname of Chen to the twins and they are planning also to talk to you and Madam Eva. They want me and Luna to get married again so that we will be one, and they will do it by hook or by crook as I see it. I already instructed my lawyer to report to me everything, I am very sorry, I have no objection to Francois's action of adopting my kids. It is better for my kids to bear his surname, it will be their protection against Sofia. In regards to Sofia and her mother, I don't really have anything to do. I already divorce her from the moment I opened my eyes and see that she is fooling me from the moment we got into a relationship even before I married Luna." Louie explains his side, although it was very long for him and the others to hear, he needs to clarify his side. He didn't want his children to hate him. 

Lily sympathetic looks at Edward, Allen pat Edward's back and gave him a reassuring smile that says "things will be alright".  Everyone is silent, it seems that the events turned them to think that Louie is not the culprit but rather the victim this time. 

"Dawn, Winter, I will protect you two and your mom. I will never let anyone harm you three. Even if it causes my life, I will do it. Even if I need to kill Sofia with my b.a.r.e hands and escort her to hell I am willingly doing it, just to prove to you two that I don't have any knowledge about the conversation that you gathered. And for my grandparent, which is also your great grandparents. I also don't have any knowledge about it. I didn't even know that they already knew your existence and even that they already know that Luna is alive. Please believe me" Louie pleaded to his kids. 

"And do you think we will believe you? You had a background of bullying our Moon way back when she was at the University with Ethan and Kim. We all know your past deeds with her, we had investigated it five years ago. That's why you can't blame us now" Ryder's very anger voice burst out in the entire room. The Big Bosses were just silently listening, Duke Lawrence can't blame his son, for Ryder treated Luna as his little sister that even a bug can't hurt her. 

"Ryder! Your voice, the little buns are here" Sapphire scolded her fiancee as she holds Ryder's arms. Ryder closes his eyes and controls his anger once more. When Ryder opened his eyes, Francois and Dimitri already cover the ears of the twins. Both Dimitri and Francois understand why he reacted that way, for he was the one who saw the pathetic state of Luna at the train station. Dimitri and Francois nod at him as a saying that they understand his sudden outburst.
