Chapter 27

In addition to family information, there was also information about the men Fang has been involved with or tricked for money too. That caused Ken to sit with a tense face and confused feelings.

“Even if your life is like this why do you have to deceive other people?" Ken retorted in a serious tone.

“Have a good look at the information that I sent you. He had to earn money for his stepmother and his studies and day-to-day expenses. He wasn't born rich like you. It's indeed true what he did wasn't right, but I think he did it out of love for his mom and his own necessity. That's why he decided to do such a wrongful act. In addition, our ideals don't always match with the cruel reality of life," Stone said as he thought.

“I have met bad people. And many of them were real bad. So I can tell you that this kid did it all out of necessity but in essence, he's not a bad person. If he dared to be hard on his stepmother and thought to change her mother's habits, I think he wouldn't have done such bad things that he did in the past,” Stone said again because he was confident in his ideas and experiences in the line of dealing with bad people. Ken also thought the same.

“Well, thank you very much for bringing this information to me,” Ken rested the document on the desk in a sluggish manner thinking about what he should do next. Although now he knows Fang's past in detail, But there was still something bothering him that he couldn't answer what it was.

“What are you going to do now?” Stone asked.

“Work,” Ken replied, causing Stone to laugh lightly.

“I mean about that kid. How will you take it forward? You don't have to lie to me that you don't want to meet him. Don't lie that you really want to cut him out of your life," Stone intercepted first making Ken standstill.

"I'm telling you it's not right. At the moment I don't want to think about anything else but work," Ken cut the script, which Stone understood, so he didn't want to interrogate his friend too much.

"Okay, if there's anything I can help you with, let me know," Stone said back. Ken lightened his mood.

“Thank you very much for bringing this crucial information to me. If I can decide anything I'll tell you later," said Ken. Stone nodded in understanding before leaving. As for Ken, he sat quietly looking at the information sheet about Fang. After calling Fang that night, he had once tried calling Fang again but couldn't reach him anymore. Ken became confident that Fang has changed his number. He had driven and parked his car in front of Fang's condo. But he doesn't know why he did not dare to approach him. He could only sit in the car looking at the condo for hours. When his consciousness returned, he drove back to his hotel to sleep instead of going home.

“ 20 baht each, freshly baked and hot today,” Fang talked to a customer who asked about the price of bread at his shop. As for Proud, he was selling to other customers. Niti brought in more snacks to fill the empty trays.

“How are the golden thread custard fillings?” asked a female customer when she saw the sign next to the bun, there was bread that has golden thread custard filling.

“I mix golden threads with custard. instead of the normal yellow threads, It's the green colour of custard." Fang replied with a smile. Today's weather was a little humid. So he sweats a little. But it didn't make Fang feel annoyed at all.

“Did the seller do it himself?” asked the female customer again.

“Yes, I did everything myself,” Fang replied proudly. The woman smiled at Fang's good manners before buying something to show her support.
