Chapter 833 HEARTBREAKING
Alia never thought that her father would finally give up and could see that what he was doing was wrong. He put his ego above the safety of his own granddaughter until then and now, he gave the medical history without expecting anything, just like Alia asked.
It was just that it was too late. Alia could see that it was too late as Kia seemed to have given up on them already. She couldn't express this well. It was just, she knew that Kia no longer wanted to be tied down to them and just wanted to find closure with their meeting later. She could see the same in Kia's eyes earlier.
"Actually, sister Kia said she wanted to meet you before her wedding." Nervously, Alia started to talk about what Kia wanted to relay onto their parent and brother, it seemed, this was a great opportunity.
"Wedding?" Lyle was shocked, he didn't expect to hear something like this. Out of all his children, he thought Daniel would marry first, but it turned out to be Kia.
It was also possible that because he didn't think much of Kia, he didn't think of that possibility.
For a moment, Lyle's face looked surprised, but then his face brightened even more than before and he smiled very broadly, looking closely at Alia.
"I didn't know that she was getting married. Why was there no news about it? When's the wedding? Wouldn't a family the size of the Tordoff family make this a grand event?"
Alia shook her head. "It will be a private wedding attended by the next of kin only, less than fifty people. Sis Kia doesn't want to have too big of a wedding."
Lyle thought about this for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, I think it really doesn't suit Kia to have a grand wedding attended by a lot of people. An intimate, closed marriage suits her better," Lyle muttered to himself.
He didn't expect that he would walk her down the aisle and after he thought about this more carefully, he became even more excited. He couldn't wait for that day to come.
Lyle never imagined that he would walk his daughter down the aisle, at least not in the near future, because Alia was still far from marriageable age, however, he didn't expect for Kia to be married first.
Oh...
He had never felt this happy and excited, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't contain his joy from having such an honor.
It was just that, his joy didn't last long, because on the other hand, Alia could see what was going through her father's mind and immediately stopped that thought before her father could think her hands nervously under her father's gaze.
"Tell me, what is the main purpose of her meeting me a week before the wedding? Does she want to anything wrong and cause even more troubles for Kia than this.
"Dad, Sis Kia wants to meet you a week before her wedding, but I hope you don't expect more," Alia tried to say this carefully.
Immediately, the smile on Lyle's lips disappeared, he frowned and asked Alia in a low voice.
"What do you mean by that? I don't understand what you're trying to say." Lyle felt his joy suddenly fade away, replaced with worry when he saw Alia's facial expression, because she didn't look her usual self.
"I just want to say not to get your hopes too high, father, because it will only hurt you." Alia clasped her hands nervously under her father's gaze.
"Tell me, what is the main purpose of her meeting me a week before the wedding? Does she want to boast that she's marrying into the Tordoff family and doesn't want to go back to her family?" Her father asked with a pounding heart because then he would really have no hope of ever seeing Kia or his granddaughter again.
He had never even held his granddaughter before, did Mika even know that he was her grandfather?
The thought made his heart ache and knowing that there was a possibility that Mika wouldn't even know that he was her grandfather made his feelings even worse. He didn't want to feel this kind of feeling.
"Dad, in my opinion, I don't think Kia will invite you to her wedding, she just wants to talk to you for closure." Alia didn't know how to convey this, but she didn't want to make it difficult and uncomfortable for Kia when they met later. Their parents and Daniel thought they would get an invite to her wedding, but it didn't look like that was going to happen.
"Why do you think like that?" asked Lyle in a very serious voice, he looked deeply into his daughter's face and felt something was wrong.
"Because Sis Kia herself said that she didn't want to repair the relationship between the two of you, I think she just wanted to find closure to what happened so far." Alia really wanted to kick herself for not being able to find better words than these, but she also couldn't help but say it and make her father understand.
However, what neither of them knew was; Amber was listening to their conversation from the start. She woke up when she heard the sound of a car coming and knew that Alia had already come home, because from the start, her sleep wasn't sound and she couldn't help but succumb to the uncomfortable feeling that kept pressing on her heart.
But, what she heard from Alia's lips made her hysterical.
"No, no, no!" Amber said repeatedly while shaking her head and her tears flowed profusely when she heard that Kia intended to cut ties with them and didn't even invite them to her wedding. "You can't let your sister act like that!" Amber exclaimed, as if it was Alia's responsibility to persuade Kia.
Meanwhile, Lyle and Alia, who didn't expect that Amber was listening to their conversation, looked shocked and immediately stood up to face her, who looked hysterical. The sound of her crying even awoke Daniel, who immediately ran to the living room and found his mother crying, immediately, his sleepiness disappeared.
"What is this? Why are you crying like this? What's the matter?" he looked at the two of them, but neither of them gave an answer.
On the other hand, Lyle hugged Amber's body, trying to calm her down and Alia rubbed their mother's arms without saying anything.
"What is it? Did something happen?" Then Daniel remembered one thing and his eyes widened immediately, he couldn't say that and hoped that it didn't really happen. "Did something happen to Mika?" he swallowed hard. "Did... Mika die?"
Amber cried harder and Lyle looked at her firmly. They felt the same pain when imagining the possibility.
"No no, Mika is fine, she just had her birthday party and now she is much better," Alia said quickly, before Daniel misunderstood further.
Daniel immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at his mother with confused eyes. "Then what happened? Why did you get hysterical like this?"
"That..." Alia felt that she could no longer tell this story a second time, but she had no other choice and in the end, she sighed and retold what really happened.
==========================
"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" asked Misha when the two of them had put Mika to bed and now the two of them were in Misha's room, enjoying tea and evening snacks.
"About what?" asked Kia in a low voice, she looked at Misha with a small smile on her lips.
"About meeting your family, take the time if you feel uncomfortable." Misha then sat beside Kia and the woman laid her head on Misha's shoulder, making the man smile.
He stroked Kia's head gently and placed his hand around her shoulders in a protective manner.
"I'll be fine, I think I'll be able to handle it. Sooner or later I have to face them too and I think this is the right time," said Kia in a tired voice. Mika's birthday party made her feel a little overwhelmed.
"If you are sure about it, then I have no other choice but to trust you." Misha then kissed the top of Kia's head. "I want you to sleep here tonight," he said in a longing voice, but this only made Kia laugh.
"Are you ready to face the little girl's wrath in the morning?" asked Kia in between her laughter.
In the past two months, they had tried to sleep together twice. The first time, Mika almost caught them in the act and that made the two of them even more careful. They even decided to lock the door when they were both inside the next time.
It was just that when Mika woke up again in the middle of the night and found Misha's bedroom door was locked, she started crying and woke up almost the whole house.
What was even worse was that since Lexus and Candice were staying there, the two of them could easily read what the situation was.
Even though Kia was thankful they didn't say anything, it was still very embarrassing.
"Oh right... that little girl..." Misha rubbed his face roughly. "I love her, but she really frustrates me."
Kia laughed when she saw Misha's expression like that and kissed his cheek gently. "Give her some time, I will talk to her slowly."
Their relationship was much better now and both of them could communicate quite better than before, but Mika still didn't want to call him 'father' yet.
