114 Very Unexpected Situation

“Finally you came, dear!” Aquila exclaimed, approaching her eldest child and then hugging him. Meanwhile, Arthur was still holding his breath because he was in a hurry to come home after finding out that Kalea was kidnapped by his mother.

Arthur and Kalea’s gazes met, the girl swallowed her saliva because Arthur’s gaze seemed to demand an explanation from her.

“Why didn’t anyone tell me Lea was here?” Arthur protested after Aquila let go of her hug.

“It’s a surprise, so you can come here,” Aquila replied with a big smile on her face.

“Are you all right, Brother?” Angela asked worriedly, seeing the sweat dripping profusely from her brother’s forehead. Even though the weather outside was very cold, Arthur’s condition was the exact opposite.

“Yeah, don’t worry,” Arthur replied as he kept his focus on Kalea. The man approached his sugar baby and grabbed the girl’s arm. “I want to talk to her first,” Arthur said, pulling Kalea away from there and into the empty room.

Arthur turned on the bedroom light and closed the door; only the two of them were in the room. Kalea’s heart skipped a beat because she was sure Arthur would scold her soon enough.

“Why are you here?” Arthur asked, an annoyed look on his face.

“I-I got a call from your mom to come to help her cook. At first, I also refused!” Kalea replied defensively. She walked backward as Arthur continued to narrow the distance between them until Kalea finally fell on the bed.

.....

“If you already refused, then why did you end up here?” Arthur asked again, bringing his face closer to the girl. His eyes narrowed, not wanting to miss any expression his sugar baby showed. He kept researching whether there was a lie in there. “And how come you can be contacted by her?”

“I-I... gave your mom my contact number ...” Kalea answered quietly, biting her lower lip for fear of Arthur getting angry.

Arthur wiped his face roughly, unable to understand what had happened. There should be no more meetings between Kalea and his family, but the opposite happened. It was things like this that made him feel worried after inviting Kalea to come to his family’s house.

“Sorry ... I can’t say no, Mrs. Jefferson asked for my contact when you went to the toilet,” the girl squeaked again with her head lowered. Her heart was ready if Arthur was angry with her because this was indeed Kalea’s fault.

“My mom had a lot of plans,” Arthur snorted with a heavy sigh. He was no longer surprised because, in front of his family, Kalea was easy prey to take advantage of because of her innocence and kindness. “Did my mom tell you something?”

“Huh? She’s sad because you don’t come home often, she hopes that if I’m here, you can join us too,” Kalea explained. “I-I don’t mean to interfere in your family matters, I’m just ... sad when your mom even thought about divorce because she saw you keep fighting with Mr. Jefferson.”

Arthur suddenly widened his eyes. “My mom even said that?”

Kalea nodded weakly, she looked back up at Arthur and then held both of the man’s hands. “Don’t tell her this again, I beg you!”

“No, of course, I won’t say it again. Because my mom was just joking,” Arthur said, shaking his head, feeling like his head was about to burst at the sight of his miraculous parents. He knew very well that this was just his mother’s trick so that he would come to the house to gather together on New Year’s Eve.

“... just joking?” Kalea asked, frowning in confusion.

“It’s hard to explain, let’s just forget about this.” Arthur lifted Kalea’s body back to her feet. “Let’s get out.”

“Wait, you’re not mad at me anymore?” Kalea asked holding Arthur’s arm making the man turn back to her.

“Huh? I’m annoyed, but only for a moment. And you should have told me long ago,” Arthur grumbled, pinching his sugar-baby cheek.

Kalea grimaced in pain as she rubbed her cheeks, which became red from Arthur’s treatment. “S-sorry, I was told to keep it a secret from you.”

“Never mind, it’s already happened anyway.” Arthur walked out of the room again while turning off the room light, Kalea followed him from behind.

The two of them returned to Aquila who had finished with all her cooking and was being led to a special room for a party with a balcony outside overlooking a garden.

And when they got there, Arthur and Kalea stared in disbelief at someone so familiar.

“Your best friend came here too. You’re happy, aren’t you?” Aquila asked with a big smile and then approached Angela, who was busy talking to that person.

“Dariel ...” Arthur called, making the man turn to him.

Dariel’s eyes were completely rounded when he saw Kalea, who was standing there with Arthur. The three of them looked at each other and were confused by the unexpected situation.

Dariel smiled awkwardly then said, “My arrival must have surprised you, huh?”

“A-ahaha, yeah, you should have told me when you came here,” Arthur said with a forced laugh, then pulled Kalea’s arm to sit beside her.

“Lea, you must not know Dariel, right? This is Arthur’s friend and very close to us,” Aquila said, introducing Dariel while patting the man’s arm.

Kalea looked at Dariel’s outstretched arm in front of her, the man smiled faintly and introduced himself again. “Dariel Mckenzie.”

“Ka-kalea Orlin Lovaata,” Kalea replied, accepting Dariel’s handshake.

No one knew if Arthur had almost gone mad because of this kind of situation. He kept smiling sweetly hiding his true feelings. Despite the fact that he had cursed harshly in his heart.

“This is one of your women, Arthur?” Dariel asked half-teasingly; this man sat between Angela and Aquila. Meanwhile, Albern had not yet joined with all of them.

“You can think of it that way,” Arthur replied, still smiling sweetly even though his heart continued to be gnawed by the feeling of a goiter. He wanted to have a one-on-one talk with Dariel. Dariel and Kalea, why did not anyone tell him about this event? Did they really intend to improvise like this to pretend they did not know each other?

No, Dariel is here too. It must be his mother’s plan. Aquila went to the trouble of doing it to get Arthur to come home.

Not long after that, Albern came, which made Arthur feel like he wanted to disappear that very second. He had to mentally prepare himself if his father later asked him to argue again. It was a situation that squeezed him even more, which was why Arthur hated to go home.

“Oh, Lea! Nice to meet you again,” Albern said with a friendly smile, very different from the usual look on his face. “And Dariel, long time no see.”

Dariel smiled sweetly, he got up from his seat and hugged Albern. “I’m glad you look healthy and fit, Mr. Jefferson,” Dariel replied.

“I’m here too, Dad,” Arthur reminded him because his father did not seem to see him at all and immediately sat next to Aquila after greeting Dariel and Kalea.

“Yeah.”

Arthur gaped, what kind of response was that? Arthur was increasingly convinced that he was truly exiled. Why did he look like he was not Albern’s child compared to his best friend and sugar baby?

Aquila could not hold back her laughter anymore, the woman’s laughter made the awkward atmosphere fade a little. “Oh, my goodness. Don’t think anything of it, dear. Your Dad is actually very happy that you came,” Aquila said, trying to keep the relationship between her husband and child from getting further away.

Arthur just snorted and then poured the wine into a small glass, and he took a sip. “Then what do we do? Wait until twelve o’clock?” Arthur asked.

“I bought fireworks! Let’s light fireworks together, okay?” Angela exclaimed.

“Sure. By the way, Dariel. Aren’t you hanging out with your family?” Arthur asked now, turning to his best friend.

“They’ve been on vacation in London for a few days.” I can’t come because I only have two days off,” Dariel replied as he accepted the small glass of wine Angela had given him. “Thank you.”

Arthur just nodded his head in understanding.

“I haven’t seen Christa in a long time! How about her now?” Angela asked curiously, looking meaningfully at Dariel.

“She is four years old, speaks very smart, and likes to scribble on books,” Dariel replied, chuckling softly at the memory of his adorable little nephew.

“Aaa, I want to see her again!”

“I’ll take you back to see Christa sometime.”

“Really? Yeayy! I keep your promise!” Angela cheered happily as she hugged Dariel’s arms and rested her head on the man’s broad shoulders.

Kalea, who had been watching the interaction between the two of them, simply felt something from her sugar daddy sister. Especially when she saw Aquila and Albern who look happy with their relationship.

Kalea was not a very sensitive person to notice a person’s movements, but the sight she was seeing now somehow made her sure that Angela liked Dariel. She glanced at Arthur who actually put on a lazy face and was reluctant to see the closeness of his friend and sister.

Kalea suddenly became dizzy from thinking too much about something she did not really need to think about.
