134 Too Sweet Just To Be Called A Contract Relationship
After talking about something that Kalea did not think was that important, she parted ways with Angela. She did not forget to return the money she had asked for as part of her agreement with Angela at that time. Kalea really did not expect Angela to ask to meet just to talk about Dariel and Zeline.
It felt like Angela no longer hated her. The relationship with the woman was slowly improving, of course Kalea was relieved and happy. Whether she should be grateful or not for the accident, but it is undeniable that it was because of this incident that Angela became contemplative of her wrongdoing. The recording that she had said before, Kalea had deleted. The goal was only to threaten Angela back, Kalea wanted Angela to stop hating her, that’s all.
Kalea also knew that the reason Angela never came to the hospital to see her was because she was busy with her academics again. Although Kalea felt that it was just an excuse for Angela to avoid her. She knew that the relationship between the siblings was a little strained, and she had asked Arthur about it. The man still let his sister do as she pleased, he would no longer spoil Angela too much. Of course Kalea felt a little guilty for making their relationship the way it was, but Arthur kept saying that he had to be strict with Angela.
And even after Kalea was allowed to go home from the hospital, Arthur came to be with her every day. He would not miss a day, he would come home from work even if it was late at night. The most important thing was that Arthur was always by her side while she slept with his arm around her waist.
Once at the penthouse, Kalea tried to take care of herself with only one hand. Her back was still a little sore. Kalea sighed heavily, for some reason, even breathing normally was now difficult.
“It turns out that what I’ve sacrificed is very big,” Kalea muttered as she winced in pain, carefully putting on her clothes after washing her body.
Kalea breathed a sigh of relief after finishing her bath and putting on her clothes. She pondered, and soon walked to the study table. She intended to do her homework first while waiting for Arthur to come home.
For about two hours, she did her assignments and reviewed the lessons. However, Arthur had not yet returned home. It was already nine o’clock in the evening. Kalea held her rumbling stomach, earlier at the restaurant she did not order anything because she did not want to keep Tyler waiting too long.
Kalea grabbed her cell phone and walked towards the television room. She intended to call Arthur, asking when he would be home. However, before Kalea could press the call button, Arthur had already called her. Kalea immediately picked up the call.
.....
“Hello?”
[Hi, you’re not asleep yet, are you?]
“Not yet. Are you coming back here? You didn’t tell me at all.”
[Sorry, I just got around to opening my phone. I’m on my way home, it’ll be here soon. Wait for me, okay?”]

[You don’t have to cook. We’ll just order food later.]
“Eh? Okay then. Hurry up, I’m already very hungry.” It was as if Arthur knew what Kalea was going to do, and Kalea forgot that Arthur had forbidden her to cook while her body was still recovering.
[Yes, princess. I’ll be there in five seconds.]
Kalea chuckled softly, then responded, “Don’t brag.”
At the sound of the door opening, Kalea frowned. There was no mistaking that it was Arthur. She did not expect Arthur to really mean what he said. With slightly quicker footsteps, Kalea walked to the door. The corners of her lips lifted up, unable to help but smile because she was so happy that Arthur was home. The phone call had not yet ended.
Arthur was really there, with the cell phone still pressed to his ear, a sweet smile spread across the man’s handsome face. “I’m not bragging, am I?” Arthur asked as he ended the call. Then spread his arms for Kalea to come into his arms.
Of course, Kalea happily accepted. She moved closer to her sugar daddy and hugged Arthur tightly, though a little restrained by her one sore hand.
“You missed me so much, didn’t you?” Arthur asked in a whisper right in Kalea’s ear, occasionally kissing the girl’s hair.
“I’m so hungry, but you’re not home yet,” Kalea replied, not wanting to be honest about how much she missed Arthur. Kalea did not want to be too honest or blatant about her crush on him for fear of making Arthur quickly realize this and be uncomfortable with her. Even though she sometimes finds it difficult to hold back.
Arthur chuckled amusedly, slowly releasing the hug. “Then let’s get something to eat,” he invited as he took Kalea’s slender hand, walking towards the television room. “What have you been doing?” Arthur asked as he sat down on the sofa. He had taken off the tie that had been tied quite tightly as well as his black coat.
“Hmm, showering and studying. I haven’t eaten since this afternoon,” Kalea replied, sitting next to her sugar daddy.
“What? You haven’t eaten since this afternoon? Why didn’t you eat? Didn’t you ask Tyler to take you to a restaurant or get something to eat first?” Arthur asked, surprised and worried.
“You told me to go straight home and not stop anywhere,” Kalea replied, looking at Arthur with an adorable expression of annoyance.
“But it’s not like this either ... you’re not cooking in the kitchen, are you?”
“No, you told me to stay away from the kitchen for a while.”
Arthur seemed to be stressed by his own rules. He messed up his hair, but it made a very good impression. He sighed heavily and said, “All right. What do you want to eat? Don’t be like this tomorrow; you can order food in advance or go with Tyler.”
“Yeah, I totally forgot,” Kalea said as she pressed the restaurant button to order food.
Arthur glanced at the number of the restaurant his sugar baby had ordered from, his eyes rounded and he quickly grabbed the girl’s cell phone.
“What are you doing?!” Kalea protested irritably.
“You want to order junk food?”
“Huh? Yeah, I’m in the mood for that.”
Arthur looked at Kalea seriously, making the girl swallow her saliva quite heavily. It looked like Arthur was going to forbid her again.
“It’s late, and if you eat this kind of food too often, it’s not good for your health, Babe,” Arthur said, looking closely into his sugar baby’s hazel eyes.
“... but I haven’t eaten junk food in a long time, Arthur. Who’s the woman you say eats this kind of food often?”
Arthur paused, sweat pouring down his forehead. “N-no one. I really don’t want you to eat junk food, just choose another restaurant,” Arthur replied as he dialed the number of another restaurant.
Kalea narrowed her eyes suspiciously, then grabbed her phone again. However, she kept looking at Arthur suspiciously.
“...Why are you looking at me like that?” Arthur asked.
“No, it’s okay,” Kalea replied as she shrugged her shoulders indifferently, as if she was insinuating the man. “I still want to eat junk food. Just this once,” Kalea pleaded.
Arthur let out a resigned sigh and nodded. Letting Kalea order the food through the delivery service. After about ten minutes, the call ended.
“Did you order that food you wanted so badly?” Arthur asked, underlining his words very thickly.
“Yes, in large quantities!” Kalea replied happily; her expression was very sweet when what she wanted was granted. If it was like this, how could Arthur not melt?

“It went as usual, I’m fine,” Kalea replied simply because she did not want to discuss her campus life. After the scholarship and the job as a teaching assistant were revoked, there was nothing to keep her happy on campus. She was just doing what she was supposed to do, and studying was not as hard as it used to be.
“Don’t hide anything from me; I don’t want to be the last to know. Do you understand?”
“Um, okay.”
Arthur stroked the top of Kalea’s head gently, his lips carving a thin smile that was so charming. “Good girl.”
In about twenty minutes, their food order arrived. Arthur had asked the staff at the apartment to bring their order to the top floor, where they were.
Arthur did not allow Kalea to arrange the food, keeping the girl seated on the sofa.
“If it’s just like this, I can help, Arthur,” Kalea said, feeling bad.
“Shh, if it was just like this, I could do it too.”
“But you just got off work.”
“So?” Arthur asked, raising one eyebrow. Then he chuckled softly-it was so adorable when his sugar baby was worried like this. “I’m fine, darling. It’s done, do you want me to feed you too?”
“I do,” Kalea replied quickly and without hesitation.
“You have the courage to be honest now,” Arthur said as he took a slice of pizza and delivered it to Kalea’s mouth.
“So do you like me being honest or pretending?”
“I like everything about you.”
“You have such a sweet mouth, Uncle,” Kalea snorted, even though her heart was already racing.
“Why, are you consumed by my sweet words? Is your heart racing?”
“Yes, why? Is there something wrong?”
