100 The Reason Arthur Does Not Want To Get Married

“It’s great that you didn’t reply to my messages and calls. Did you lose your phone or did you throw it away, hm?”

“Th-that’s ... I, wait- don’t come in!” Kalea exclaimed in panic and tried to restrain Arthur’s body from entering her house. However, it’s useless. Arthur’s strength was greater than hers; he easily broke through the girl’s defense and then closed the door.

Kalea swallowed hard saliva, not like this she wanted. He did not think that Arthur would follow her, should not this man be making out with his beautiful ex?

“So what’s the reason you left me earlier? You didn’t tell me at all, didn’t return my messages or calls, plus you came home, not to the apartment. Miss. Lovaata, can you explain your reason, hm?” Arthur asked vehemently and shoved Kalea against the wall so the girl could not escape anywhere else.

“I-I suddenly had a stomach ache, that’s why I went home!” Kalea answered reasoned.

Arthur raised an eyebrow, it was not that easy for him to believe the sugar baby’s answer. “Wasn’t the last time you did go to the toilet? Why did you have to go all the way home?” Arthur asked again, making Kalea want to bury herself deep. She realized the reason was stupid. “Who did you go home with?”

“A-alone.”

“Lies. Why doesn’t Zeline pick up my calls? Although it’s not that important that I contact that person, she always picks up my phone. You asked Zeline to pick you up, right?” Arthur lifted Kalea’s chin to look up at him, the man’s face getting closer with narrowed eyes. As if she did not want to miss the slightest change in Kalea’s expression between being honest or lying.

It feels like Kalea wants to disappear from Earth and move to Mars. Arthur had guessed it very well.

.....

“If you don’t answer for five seconds, then all my guesses are correct. One, two, three, four-”

“Y-yes! That’s right! Satisfied?!” Kalea exclaimed, brushing Arthur’s hand off her chin. She turned her head the other way, not wanting to look at the man.

“Why are you suddenly like that?” Arthur asked, annoyed. “You should have waited for me first, I’ll also come straight home if you ask.”

“How could I say when you’re with your ex-girlfriend?!” Kalea replied, subconsciously saying it. Arthur was surprised by the girl’s actions. Kalea covered her mouth, she slightly moved away from Arthur. “You better go home, I’ll stay here.”

Arthur didn’t respond, he still stood where he was. “So you saw it?”

“N-no. Mr. Mckenzie told me you were with your ex,” Kalea replied, lying again.

Arthur took a deep breath, approached Kalea then pulled the girl’s arm to get out of the house.

“W-what are you doing?! I told you I’d sleep here!” Kalea shouted, struggling to get away from her sugar daddy, but the man gripped her arm making Kalea wince in pain. Her eyes started to tear up, she said, “You can’t force me like this!”

“Lea, we have to discuss this at the apartment. Don’t dodge anymore,” Arthur said seriously with a cold expression that was rarely shown.

“You ... is our contract going to end?” Kalea asked in a low voice. Arthur did not answer, he walked again while pulling Kalea out of the house. After locking the door again. Kalea was forced to follow Arthur to the apartment.

On the way, no one spoke, they were busy with their own thoughts. It started to rain heavily, making the atmosphere even colder. Kalea rubbed her arm which was starting to get cold, she was flabbergasted when Arthur turned off the car cooler and replaced it with a car warmer. Without saying anything, the man immediately acted upon knowing Kalea’s current condition.

Finally, they had arrived at the penthouse. Arthur again pulled on her arm to sit on the bed with the man.

“Why do you suddenly think that I will end our contract?” Arthur got right to the point. Staring into the hazel sugar baby’s eyes. “Don’t look down, look at me,” he said, lifting Kalea’s face to look at him again.

The girl bit her lower lip and took a deep breath. “Can I ask something more personal?”

Arthur was silent for a moment, then he nodded. “Of course.”

“Do you still love your ex-girlfriend?”

Arthur did not look surprised, as if he had expected the question that would come out of the girl’s lips. “I ... I’ve been trying to forget about it,” Arthur answered quite ambiguously.

“I’m asking you to still love her, It’s not about you trying to forget her.”

Arthur looked down and sighed heavily, as if the burden he was carrying was now too heavy. “What do you think I should do if she says she still loves me and is trying to mend a long-ended relationship?” Arthur asked.

Kalea looked at Arthur with an indescribable look. Her sugar daddy is currently asking her for advice on romance. Which even Kalea never knew what true love was. “If you still love her, what else do you have to think about?”

“Lea, do you know that who I am today is the result of my relationship with her back then?”

Kalea was silent, letting Arthur continue his words.

“I saw her in a hotel with a man. Even though she always said it was a trap, but my heart was hurt because she didn’t tell me that time. The man asks for help and Aurora helps him when it turns out that she was framed. She’s too good to not realize she’s being used, that’s what I hate about her.” Arthur explained at length. “Not once or twice has that happened. She is a woman who is surrounded by many people. Everyone loves her, making things between her and other men seem as if there are no boundaries. What do you think I should do as her boyfriend at that time? I love her, so much. To make me a possessive person, forbidding her not to associate with anyone other than myself. I’m well aware that I’m being that toxic, but Aurora doesn’t mind either. Until finally, when I saw her at the hotel, my emotions exploded. I pulled her into the car and hit her there.”

Kalea covered her mouth in disbelief. Did not expect Arthur’s love life to be that complex. Suddenly Kalea is afraid to be with Arthur at this time, it turns out that her sugar daddy can be that rude.

“I don’t want to deal with her anymore, because after I realized it, it was Aurora who made me go crazy. She was also the one who made me decide not to love anyone anymore, because I was afraid that trait would reappear,” he said in a hoarse voice. He looked up at Kale and smiled bitterly. “That’s why I decided not to get married until such a time that I didn’t even know if I would ever be ready to love someone again. And that’s how I ended up like this: playing with women who don’t have any love in them.”

Kalea looked at the man sadly, she could not blame Arthur’s actions all this time because it turned out that the man was traumatized by what he did in the past. Kalea could not imagine how tormented Arthur and Aurora would be in that relationship.

“If you ask me whether I still love her or not. Honestly, who wouldn’t love a woman like her? She’s so beautiful, smart, and sociable. But I don’t want to make her feel like she’s in prison again if she insists on coming back with me,” Arthur continued with a heavy sigh. Even though it was a very long time ago, he could still remember it clearly, even though he had tried to forget everything about her.

“But maybe now you’ve changed? You two can try again and try not to repeat the mistakes of the past,” Kalea suggested, though her heart felt tight when she suggested this. However, seeing Arthur suffer as he was now, Kalea did not like it.

Arthur nodded slowly. “She deserves a better man than me.”

Kalea bit her lower lip, holding back the tears that had welled up in her eyelids. She couldn’t bear to see Arthur this sad. “You’re very kind, Arthur. I’m sure there are many reasons why your ex-girlfriend still loves you today,” Kalea replied hoarsely as she grabbed the man’s hand. “You can regret it if you insist on refusing it.”

“Are you sure? Are you okay if I hook up with other women?” Arthur asked doubtfully.

Kalea smiled bitterly, then said, “Isn’t that normal for you? Even the contract says you play with other women besides me.”

“But this is different.”

“I know, this time is different because you have a special relationship with this one woman. After all, my position is only that of a sugar baby; we are contracted to benefit from each other. You don’t have to think about me, Arthur.”

“Yesterday you asked me not to get married just yet. How could i not think about you,” Arthur whispered, holding Kalea’s face which finally could not hold back her tears anymore. When the girl looked back at Arthur’s gray eyes, tears fell from her eyes.

“Looks like you have to refrain from being too nice to a lot of women, Arthur. After hearing your story about your ex, I think you two are very similar in nature. Too kind to the opposite sex, to the point of making it impossible for anyone not to like you.”

Arthur was stunned, starting to understand what Kalea was saying. “You like me?”
