119 About Zeline
Now Kalea is in Zeline’s room, which is upstairs. In rooms with light beige paint and wooden floors, some other materials use more wood. There is greenery on display there and a fur rug. One other source of lighting also comes from a string light. Then knick-knacks and decorations, such as pillows and blankets with various patterns and textures. It really reflects a bohemian style.
“You will sleep here with me, or alone,” Zeline said as she put the drinks and snacks on the table.
“Alone? Then where are you?” Kalea asked, confused.
“I don’t come home very often. Did you forget? “I have to serve my daddies,” Zeline replied, before sitting on the floor and eating the snack.
Kalea also sat in front of the blonde girl, looking at Zeline curiously.
“What? I know you must be asking me a lot of questions, right?” Zeline guessed very accurately. “But you have to tell me first what happened to you and Arthur.”
Kalea was silent for a moment, convincing herself again to tell Zeline what had happened to her recently. She wanted to believe that this girl in front of her would not tell anyone, unlike someone she used to trust so much. So far, although Zeline’s personality is very fierce and curt, but Zeline has helped her a lot.
Kalea had already decided to tell Zeline about it. Everything, from the start she was invited to the Jefferson residence. Zeline continued to listen without interrupting, letting Kalea finish the story. And when she was finished, Zeline’s face grew even more furious, and she put her glass down a little stronger.
“Damn it! I know Arthur’s sister is really annoying, but I didn’t think it would turn out like this!” Zeline growled with sharply dipped eyebrows.
.....
“You know her too?”
“Yeah, several times Arthur and Dariel talked about that person at the club. Haha, even though she’s old, she’s so childish!” Zeline continued to chirp in annoyance as if a fire was smoldering from her mouth. “But you actually extorted her money?”
Kalea nodded, then said, “I thought she would change her mind, but it turns out she really did.”
“Wow, you got rich right away.”

Zeline laughed crisply, impressed by Kalea’s words. “You’re sneaky, too, but it’s a good idea.”
“I’m just kidding, I’m too lazy to cause any more trouble. I’ve had many problems in my life.”
“Well, so am I. So you lied to Arthur with the excuse of staying over at your aunt’s house?” Zeline asked again to make sure.
“Yeah, that’s the only safe reason, I think. He couldn’t have been looking for me there,” Kalea replied.
“Pft, are you sure? He can get your information easily, everything,” Zeline said with a small smile. It made Kalea hesitate, but she immediately shook her head.
“Impossible. After all, if I said my reasons clearly, he wouldn’t be blindly looking for me.”
“Well, we hope so.”
Kalea looked up at Zeline who suddenly stood up and walked towards the wardrobe. She set aside a little space there for Kalea to put her clothes.
“You can keep your clothes here. You didn’t bring a lot of clothes, did you?” Zeline asked.
“No, but I can borrow your washing machine?”
“Of course, even if you don’t have clothes, you can wear my clothes.”
Kalea was moved, it felt like seeing Zeline from the other side. “You’re so kind, Zeline.”
“Noisy. It seems my sister and brother have left the room and prepared dinner,” Zeline said, walking towards the bedroom door and then opening it. “Let’s go out, you should get acquainted with them.”
“Oh, okay.”
Kalea followed Zeline from behind, they came down the stairs. Kalea saw that there were two girls and a boy who were cooking and they looked so compact.
“Sis Zeline, are you home? Eh ....” The girl looked at Kalea because she felt strange. While Kale just smiled faintly.
“My friend wants to stay here for a few weeks, you can treat her as if she’s not here,” Zeline said as she walked over to her two siblings and saw what they were cooking.
The corners of Kalea’s lips curved downward, even though she knew Zeline was only joking. However, she was a little awkward as the two children continued to stare at her.
“He-hello,” Kalea said again with a sweet smile, of course she wanted to leave a good impression in the eyes of this Zeline sister and brother.
“Sis Zeline, do you have friends?” the boy asked innocently.
“Huh? Of course, I have!”
“Thank goodness! I thought you didn’t have any friends at all!” Zeline’s sister exclaimed, looking very happy. She looked at Kalea again with a very sweet smile. “Hello, my name is Zoey, and this is my twin brother named Zac. Thank you for wanting to be good friends with my sister,” Zoey said politely introducing herself.
Kalea was stunned, not expecting that Zeline’s younger sister was quite different from Zeline. “I’m Kalea, nice to meet you,” she replied with a sweet smile.
Zoey and Zac are twins, the only difference is their gender. However, Kalea seemed to see Zeline in a mini-version. Their hair was blonde hair with beautiful blue eyes. The Zeline family’s genes are really top, she can not imagine how the looks of Zeline’s parents when she sees the three people in front of her are so bright.
Because Kalea did not see a single photo of Zeline’s parents from the many photos on display at the house.
Zeline snorted in annoyance, slightly tarnishing her pride at being said to have no friends by her own sister.
“I’ll help you cook, okay?” Zeline offered but was immediately pushed by Zoey and Zac out of the kitchen.
“No need, Sis. You will turn the kitchen into a broken ship,” Zac refused with a flat face, but his words were very painful.
“The fuck?! I used to cook for you!” Zeline’s protests hurt even more.
“It’s been a long time, Sis. Now let us cook, you must be tired of studying and working,” Zoey said with a warm smile. “Besides, there are Sis Zeline’s friends too, you better relax.”
“I can also help cook,” Kalea offered.

“Wow, your two sister and brother are very polite and very different from you, Zeline,” Kalea said in admiration.
“Tch! Haah, never mind. Then I’ll wait in my room again,” Zeline said with pursed lips in annoyance and then went upstairs again to the room. Kalea also followed the blonde girl.
Seeing Zac and Zoey’s cohesiveness impressed Kalea. Even though they were still small but so independent, somehow she reminded her of the old days, almost the same as them. The difference is that she survives alone. Kalea becomes jealous because Zeline and her sisters and brother can depend on each other.
“Zeline, may I ask a question?”
“What?”
“Are your parents still working?” Kalea asked a little cautiously.
“They’re dead.”
Kalea’s eyes were rounded, and guilt was raging in her heart.
“Ah, sorry. I didn’t mean....”
“Chill, after all, it’s been a long time. Their deaths were dishonorable and annoying,” Zeline said as she lay down on the bed, looking at the small lights that shone, making her room more beautiful because of the string lights. “You want me to tell you?”
“If it makes you uncomfortable, I won’t insist.”
“I’m fine, my feelings are dead after they irresponsibly abandoned me, Zoey, and Zac. Well, I wasn’t in their position at the time, but still, leaving those three young kids was pretty bad, wasn’t it?” Zeline asked, smiling sadly.
Kalea looked at Zeline with concern, she had never seen the blonde girl like this. As she expected, her condition with Zeline was almost similar. Both had been abandoned since childhood.
“Maybe you’re wondering why this house is simple, even though I have more than one daddy. That’s because I have to pay their huge debts,” Zeline said, making Kalea a little surprised. “I also didn’t tell Zoey and Zac that I worked like that. I don’t know how they would react if they found out, but I hope it never gets exposed.”
“Don’t you ... want to know your parents’ reason at that time?”
“For what? Whatever the reason, it still won’t be able to justify their actions. Well, even though my two siblings still miss them often, but I’m fed up,” Zeline answered curtly. However, in Zeline’s heart, she only felt very disappointed with the attitude of her parents.
At that time, she was used to living comfortably and safely, but suddenly the wheels turned downwards, making her family’s life change drastically. Her little heart sometimes still has a hard time accepting that, she lives only to pay debts and lies to her two younger siblings about the cheap work she does.
“But no one knows if your parents will die, right? Don’t you really feel sad and miss them?”
Zeline smiled even though her eyes made it clear that she was hurt. “Sad of course, mixed with anger. Because they killed themselves, Lea.”
