121 She Loves Him
“You love him, Lea. If you’re suffering more from this, you better break the deal and go back to Arthur!”
Kalea was stunned, her brain was still processing the words that came out of Zeline’s mouth. Does she love Arthur? What kind of bullshit is this? Why can Zeline think like that, what did she do to make other people think that she loves that perverted and annoying man?
“You’re joking, aren’t you? I’m not suffering just because of this. You know that I’m trying-” Kalea fell silent, no longer continuing her words as she began to notice her recent behavior.
Zeline let go of the grip on Kalea’s shirt, she took a deep breath. Again, she had to interfere in their relationship. Zeline was too fed up with Kalea and Arthur acting as if they did not really care, but actually there was a feeling between the two of them. They are both in denial of that feeling. Zeline thought that Arthur was like that too. However, it’s still not completely certain because Arthur is unpredictable and his attitude toward many women is almost the same.
Although there was a slight difference in Kalea compared to other women, but it was not 100% certain that Arthur had feelings for the brunette-haired girl.
“Your feelings are not due to a contract anymore, Lea.”
“I love him?” Kalea asked again, between asking Zeline or asking herself.
Zeline rolled her eyes lazily. She sat right in front of Kalea and told the girl to look back at her. “Listen to me, stupid. You love him, but all this time you keep denying your true feelings because you keep remembering the contract. Well, it’s also my fault. I always remind you not to get carried away by your daddy’s feelings,” Zeline said.
“No, how could it be your fault? What you did was right, Zeline. It’s my fault, I can’t control my feelings,” Kalea whispered with an increasingly sad look.
.....
“Haah ... dammit, it’s like this if your sugar daddy is Arthur. Even though he is very annoying, but I also can’t deny that there is a special charm to that man,” Zeline said again, sighing heavily. Even now, she was confused about what to do, because she was the one who sacrificed Kalea to a man like Arthur. “But, Lea. If you want to cross the line, I won’t stop you. Well, actually it’s all up to you because you did it.”
Kalea furrowed her brows, still not understanding what the blonde girl was saying. “Cross the line?
“Cancel the deal and go back to Arthur. Maybe if I were you, I would rebel and stay with my sugar daddy. Because the one who has the right to end the contract is between me and the man who became my daddy. Other people shouldn’t interfere,” Zeline said. “And also, don’t Arthur’s parents really like you? You have their blessing! Don’t mind that childish old woman! She is Arthur’s sister, but she has no right to control her brother’s love,” Zeline continued with fiery emotions.
Kalea blinked, continuing to listen to Zeline, who still had not abated her emotions because she was annoyed with Angela.
“It’s weird that Arthur still lets his little sister go around like that.”
“He really loves his sister, Zeline. Just like you love Zoey and Zac,” Kalea said with a faint smile.
“Still different! I love them, but if they both make a mistake, even to the point of harming them, of course I will scold them,” Zeline replied with sharply dipped eyebrows. “Lea, I know you’re often quiet when you’re mistreated because you don’t want to get into more trouble if you fight back. But you can’t go on like that. Angela’s feelings of hatred are really childish. After all, you came there with good intentions, right? There’s no need to be afraid, you bastard!”
“...okay.”
“And you better tell Arthur right away, he’s not looking for you because he thinks you’re really spending time with your mother’s family. But if it’s too long, and he finds out you’re lying, Arthur can be very angry with you,” Zeline continued.
“Yes, I’ll try. Thanks for the advice, Zeline,” Kalea said, getting enlightened by all of Zeline’s advice, even though it was quite harsh, but it immediately entered her brain.
That night, Kalea really thought about how she had felt for Arthur, her sugar daddy. The way Arthur treated her well, the man’s concern, the way she felt safe and comfortable with Arthur, it was no longer ordinary feeling, there was something strange about it. And now Kalea knew she loved Arthur.
Kalea looked at some of her photos with Arthur, not so many but quite memorable. Especially when she and Arthur went to the amusement park. She seemed to see the other side of Arthur there; from a glance, people would think that Arthur was the perfect man. However, Arthur actually has a strange and strange nature, and that’s what makes Kalea like him.
“Ah, I think I really love him,” Kalea muttered quietly, she could not deny the feeling anymore.
She should not have loved him. However, she also found it difficult to regulate her own feelings. Love does not choose who this heart belongs to. With everything she had done so far, Arthur had become a part of her life. The person who is with her more often is only Arthur, it should not be strange anymore when love comes because she is used to it.
Like what Zeline suggested, she would try to take that step. It did not matter how Angela responded who might find her cunning or shameless, but once in a while Kalea wanted to put herself ahead of others.
Kalea will cancel the deal, the money that Angela gave yesterday will also be given by Kalea without the slightest lack.
The next day, Kalea leaves Zeline’s house. She is very grateful to Zeline and Zeline’s two siblings, who have been kind enough to give them a place to stay for almost a month.
“Are you never coming here again, Sis?” Zoey asked with a sad face because Kalea left her.
Kalea smiled warmly, she stroked Zoey’s blonde hair gently. “I’ll come here to meet you. Or you can also meet me outside,” Kalea replied, making Zoey, who was initially gloomy, smile widely.
“I will definitely miss you!” Zoey exclaimed, then hugged Kalea tightly.
“Thank you again for making me feel comfortable in your home,” Kalea said as she returned the hug. Maybe this is what it’s like to have a sister, Kalea already considers Zeline’s two siblings like her own. “If there’s something you don’t understand about the lesson, don’t hesitate to ask me.”
“Thank you, Sis,” Zac said, finally opening his voice after he had been silent for a long time.
Kalea waved her hand after she finished saying goodbye to the Zeline family. She started to drive the car out of the small housing estate toward her penthouse.
When she got there, she guessed it was the same place as the last time she came home. Arthur really was not into the penthouse at all. Kalea entered the room then sat on the bed, and saw the last message Arthur had sent to her and Kalea did not reply at all. The girl took a deep breath, before pressing the phone button to call Arthur.
A few seconds were not picked up, until finally Arthur picked up Kalea’s call.
[Hello? Finally, you contacted me. What is it? You need money?]
“No, I need you.”
[...huh? Are you in trouble? Tell me where you are, I’ll be right there!]
“No, I’m already at the penthouse, Arthur. Can you come here?” Kalea bit her lower lip before continuing her words. “I... I miss you.”
Kalea felt bad when Arthur did not respond after she said that honest thing.
“A-arthur?”
[Oh, sorry. I’ll be there soon. Wait for me.]
“Oh, okay.”
The call ended, and suddenly Kalea’s heart skipped a beat. She had not seen Arthur in almost a month, but somehow she felt better when she saw him again. And before that, Kalea got out of bed and headed for the bathroom to clean her body again.
At ten o’clock at night, Kalea was still waiting for the man who had yet to come. Her thoughts were starting to become negative, and before it got any further, Kalea decided to study.
Half an hour passed, Kalea heard the sound of approaching footsteps. She got up from her seat and looked at the door.
And Arthur was there, with a sweet smile always etched on the man’s lips.
“Hi, long time no see,” Arthur greeted as he approached Kalea.
Arthur was a little surprised when Kalea ran to him and hugged him tightly. Of course, Arthur would not refuse, he returned the hug no less tightly. He had not seen her in a long time, it was enough to make him miss Kalea.
“You miss me that much?” Arthur asked teasingly.
Kalea nodded, she let go of the hug. Her hazel eyes now met Arthur’s gray eyes. And at that moment, Arthur was again surprised by the action of his sugar baby. Without saying a word, Kalea pulled Arthur’s tie and kissed his lips.
