Due to Tom's sudden cold, Vivi was forced to stop thinking about leaving.
Of course, this is only one small reason.
More importantly, after she cooked some ginger soup for Tom, she discovered that the luggage she had dropped on the top of the stairs had disappeared!
It wasn't lost anyway, the maids had already picked it up and brought it back to the room. When the giant baby named Tom continued to demand her to stay, Vivi could only surrender.
Vivi and Tom then spent a few days of their vacation at this hot spring villa.
And the relationship between the two of them was no longer as restrained as before.
The day before the end of the vacation, Tom and Vivi plan to head back to town.
Tom specifically asked the waiter to make three boxes of desserts and give them to Vivi since she likes to eat them.
On the way back, Tom stuck his legs out in the back seat in a very pleasant position.
Although his leg injury is still unclear, he is actually able to walk by himself.
"Going to work tomorrow?" Tom withdrew his gaze from the window and asked Vivi, who was playing with her cell phone.
She answered with her attention still on her cell phone, and she didn't seem to look at Tom.
Tom narrowed his eyes, leaned over subconsciously, and quietly looked at the woman's phone screen. "Who are you texting with?"
Vivi shook her head, and subconsciously turned off the screen. She and Tom looked at each other, exuding guilt.
"I'm not texting, I'm just casually looking at my phone."
Nonsense!
Tom looked at her intently, then hummed and turned around.
She was clearly sending a message, did she think he was blind?
Vivi caught his displeasure, and except for smiling awkwardly, she can't say anything else.
She couldn't tell Tom that her mother wanted to meet him in Surabaya!
Not only that, both of her parents texted repeatedly, urging her to post a photo of her boyfriend!
But Tom is not her boyfriend!
...
At three o'clock that afternoon, Tom's driver parked outside the gates of Vivi's apartment.
Vivi turned and opened the car's door. Before getting out of the car, she turned to look at Tom, and thanked him gently.
But the young master just looked ahead in silence, turning a deaf ear to what she had to say.
It was as if he was still sulking.
After seeing this, Vivi didn't want to prolong the problem. She got out of the car and grabbed her luggage, then headed for her apartment room in the blink of an eye.
Tom looked at her back and cursed in his heart!
Vivi saw that he was upset, but she didn't even try to persuade him!
At this time, the driver got back into the car. He started the engine and asked, "Sir, do you want to go home?"
Tom was silent for a few seconds without answering, he then firmly ordered, "Go and check on her now. I wonder who she's texting with."
The driver was dumbfounded, how could he check on her?
Does this young master want him to hack into Miss Vivi's cell phone?!
After some time, Tom impatiently waited for the driver's answer. He kicked the back of the chair with his toes. "Did you hear me or not?"
The driver looked back shyly. "Young master, Miss Vivi's call log is… if you check it, I'm afraid..."
"You're such a drag, come in and print out all her chat logs!"
He wanted to see who dared to tease his woman in front of him!
Hearing the voice, the driver nodded clearly. "Yes, young master!"
Tom glared at the driver in annoyance.
...
Soon after, Tom returned to his house with a calm face.
However, as soon as he entered, he saw Reynold, the Patriarch of the Wibowo family, on the sofa.
"Father? Why are you here?"
At this moment, Reynold was sitting in front of the sofa holding a wine glass. He is fifty-five years old, his tense face is serious, and his temples are white. It's clear that he has gone through all the vicissitudes of life.
Hearing the question, he shook the wine glass and looked at Tom with a stern face. "Can't I be in my own house?"
Tom coughed lightly, and walked over to him with a limp. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard his father say. "Did I tell you to sit down?"
Hearing the voice, Tom stopped mid-air. He bent his waist in shame and sneered.
"Father, my legs… can't stand for long."
"Then get down on your knees!"
Tom straightened straight up and said nothing! The father sat while the son stood, and the atmosphere in the quiet living room was slightly depressed.
Tom was not afraid, but he was in awe of his father's resolute figure.
Years ago, when the Wibowo family suffered due to a widespread illness, all of their properties were taken care of by his father.
If it weren't for Tom's incompetence, he wouldn't be as old as he is now and still working hard to manage his company.
This kind of experience has also caused him not to ever smile, and the momentum crushed Tom to death.
As time went on, Reynold never spoke to him.
Tom couldn't stand for long, and his legs started shaking in just a few minutes.
"Dad, who's upsetting you again?" Tom said carefully, not forgetting to give him a bit of flattery.
Reynold took a sip of his wine, then sat up straight with his legs crossed.
He bent down and placed the wine glass on the table, then said in a serious tone, "Let's talk, what have you done these few days? Hmm?"
Tom's eyes flashed and he opened his mouth. "I didn't do anything!"
As the words fell, Reynold stared at him blankly, raising his eyebrows. His expression grew even more displeased.
Seeing this, Tom instinctively straightened his chest and answered honestly, "I just went to our family villa in Malang for a vacation!"
"You still have the face for a vacation?" Reynold snorted coldly, his eyes showing indifference.
He stood up, walked around the table, and then narrowed his eyes at Tom. "When will you become an adult? It's only been a year and you've started living the extravagant life again! Did the incident with Sasha not make you aware? Is it not strong enough the scar she left on you that you forget the pain?"
His father's rebuke made Tom a little sad. He muttered in a low voice, "Dad, I don't spend my time in extravagant ways, I just go to the hot springs we own. Wouldn't this be refreshing to the body?!"
"Then explain, who is the woman that went with you?!"
Tom looked at him with a surprised expression, and asked faintly, "Father, you… how did you know?"
"If you don't explain everything honestly, then you will no longer have the right to use all property under my name!"
Everyone could see that Reynold was furious.
Currently, most of the Wibowo family's properties and companies were still registered under Reynold's name.
His original intention was to let Tom officially take over the company before transferring assets
As the only son of the Wibowo family, everything that exists will belong to Tom in the future.
Therefore, Tom knows well that he doesn't need to worry and continues to have fun which results in him not making any progress for many years.
Reynold was so disillusioned that he had to use this method to train him.
At least, let him understand how hard life was before he could enjoy all the results.
His son had to work hard!
