Chapter 312 - Alex And Kelly (Four)
Kelly was unsure whether she would cry or roll out laughing because one thing she knew, her father would never listen to her explanation if she reasoned out that Alex was not her boyfriend.
She grew up in a complicated system, and being caught by your parents with a naked man in your room is a serious matter.
She was lost. She is naturally snobbish and has a glib tongue. But knowing her father and the culture she grew up with, she is helpless.
"Papa... I will go home soon." But she has no plan to bring Alex at all. She would not explain for now nor deny anything but in person. "Then, let's talk," she added afterward.
She knew her father would be angry at her, but there's nothing to be exaggerated too much. Kelly made up her mind.
She was about to hang up, but her grandmother Farah and mother Jamila Varghese showed up.
"Is it true that Kelly finally has a boyfriend?" the two women asked excitedly.
Kelly wanted to shrink from the sofa or disappear in front of the phone. It was distinguishable how her grandmother was too happy with the news.
Lately, her grandmother has fallen ill, and she is always asking when she would introduce her boyfriend, then get married before she dies.
Her grandma would reason out that she wanted to see her granddaughter walk down the aisle in a beautiful wedding gown. However, she was too picky when it came to men.
Her father tried to arrange a few noblemen for her engagement, but she strongly rejected every one. As the only child of the family and pampered by her parents, her father cannot force her into an arranged marriage.
She would proudly reason out to her father, "I am a self-made millionaire, Pa. I have a beautiful career, and I don't need these men."
But now, this situation is a mess! Her family believed entirely that she was in an inappropriate relationship.
She knew the reason her father wanted to speak with Alex was to talk about marriage!
Well, even if her family would not accept her explanation, she will endure the punishment she will receive from her father. Although her father never hurt her, the issue is different.
Ugh! What kind of situation was she in?
God... Now she could think of what Hailee shared about how she and Vince got into a fake relationship that later became real because Vincent was already in love with her. And Hailey falls in love with them later on.
How if?
Oh, geez! Why does she suddenly have this crazy thought in her head?
She does not like how her heart seems confused, and she was in dazes just thinking about Alex.
Can it be possible that Alex is attracted to her?
Kelly was lost in her train of thoughts when she felt a huge silhouette standing next to her. A shock flashed her eyes. She wanted to scold Alex for coming closer to her, but she could not open her mouth.
Dammit! Why am I so flustered having him near me?
However, if she acted arrogantly and rude in front of her family, her father would scold her to behave like a proper lady in front of her man.
Kelly remains uncomfortable and helpless, as she cannot chase Alex. In front of her parents, she must always put her attitude in check.
And so, she could only gnash her teeth inwardly. She could not smile at all in front of her grandma as she struggled to hide her irritation.
All she could do was stay silent while her family was talking to Alex. She glared at him, but when she returned her gaze to her phone, she received a warning stare from her father.
"Hello, Mr. Varghese, Madam, and grandma." Politely, Alex greeted the three people on the other side of the call.
And once Alex spoke to her family, Kelly's shoulders sank. The attitude they are giving to Alex is not what she expected, and instead, they were actually very welcoming.
"Nice to see you, Prince Alexander."
Kelly fell on her jaw. Her father had this massive smile on his mouth when he returned a greeting to Alex. She had a bad feeling about it, but her father's words were filled with formality.
"I request my daughter to visit us soon. I hope Prince Alexander has spare time to meet us."
When her father said this, Kelly wanted to dig a hole and hide there forever. She had a bad feeling about this!
Kelly glanced at Alex nervously. She wondered what reply would this guy give to her father. Honestly, she prayed Alex would reject her father's invitation. However…
"It would be my honor to meet you, sir." Alex agreed. Delight exhibited in his face, and his answer also made Kelly's family thrilled.
However, it causes Kelly to panic. Her chest-pounding rapidly almost choked her. She wanted to stop this insanity and yelled at Alex; however, all she could do was let things go to the flow.
She is straightforward and bad-mouthed to others once a person irritates her. But when her father was around, she could not behave like that; but showed how obedient a daughter she is, who acted as a refined lady.
Kelly doesn't want to
Finally, the call ended. Now it was her chance to confront Alex.
"You need not go," she said.
"What? I promised your family to visit them. I don't want your father to have a bad impression of me." Alex explained.
"You need not show a good impression on him! You are not my boyfriend, so no need to meet them." Kelly's voice was stern and firm, making Alex crease his forehead.
Alex frowned then said. "I have a word, and it would be a bad image of mine if I would not stand on my promise."
"I just said it to you. Have you not understood it? You have no obligation to visit my family." She has to convince Alex to prevent a more complex situation for her.
"Why not? Can't you see I am willing to help you out?"
"Help me out?" Now it confused her what Alex's point was.
He explained, "Isn't your father mad at you? Then I'm willing to help you."
"You don't understand why he's angry!" She is losing her patience with this guy!
If she goes home with Alex, there is only one thing her father would like to happen. He will push a marriage between her and Alex!
Although it's Alex's fault for insisting on sharing a room with her, she could not reason out to her father now this happens.
And the guy was only smiling at her; even displeasure was written all over her face. She was fuming right now, but the guy seemed to enjoy the show!
