168 Kate <1>
“Oh, it’s you Kyle.” Kate’s Father arched his eyebrows. “What is it?”
“I would like to trouble your wife to take care of Little Kitty while I’m guarding my friends below. It’ll be quite boring for her, so I think that she would want to spend more time with your wife.” Kyle kept his face straight.
In truth, he knew that Kate missed her father and mother so much, so he brought her here. However, he couldn’t say that directly because he felt that this girl’s face was really thin and didn’t want to tell him the truth that she’s Kate.
Since that was the case, he would play along.
“Meow?” <What? >
Kate was stunned at Kyle’s sudden action. She turned to look at him in surprise because she didn’t expect that he would suddenly allow her to stay in the lab with her father and mother. As for waiting?
She had been waiting for a long time from time to time. It just didn’t make any sense for Kyle to suddenly worry that she would be bored because she could just sleep without the need to worry about anything.
“Yes, she can stay here.” Kate’s Father smiled. He naturally picked Kate up.
“Meow!” <You don’t usually like a cat, right? Put me down!>
.....
Kate knew that her father didn’t like cat. In the past before these giant mutated animals appeared, Kate’s Father would not care about the cats that were roaming around the area. He even felt that these cats were troublesome.
Kate’s Mother was the one who liked cats more and often teased them.
Thus, Kate was not surprised that when she turned into a cat, her father would not like her. But after finding out that this little cat is his daughter, Kate’s Father seemed to forget that he ever disliked cat.
Kyle chuckled when he saw the little cat squirming. “I would like you to hide this from the others. It wouldn’t be good if others were to find out that she’s staying with you.”
“Naturally.”
After looking at the little cat once more, Kyle walked out. He was planning on guarding the door to make sure that Jake and the others could finish their absorption without anyone bothering them. It would take at least a few hours, so it would be better for Kate to be with her parents for the time being.
He was sure that they had something they wanted to talk about.
Though, if Kyle had to say, he actually wanted to keep Kate for himself. But he felt that he still had to allow her to have the chance to meet with her parents.
Tep!
As the door was closed, Kate jumped to the nearby table and with a poof, turned back into a human child. She looked at her father while taking out a hat to cover her cat ear.
“Dad, did you say something to him?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Kate’s Father rolled his eyes. “Go and accompany your mother first. I’ll join you after I finish reading this report and clean up.”
“Ok.”
Kate didn’t hesitate and jumped down the table. She then made the beeline towards the small room within the lab. It was the requirement of these researchers because they didn’t want to walk for a long time towards their dormitory.
Why not sleep in the office room for the time being?
Thus, they could temporarily stay within the lab. Anyway, there was basically nothing that they could actually do without electricity here. Even the strongest battery will run out without being charged again.
“Mom!” Kate called out when she saw her mother, who was busy with the small stove at the side.
She missed her mother more than her father. Anyway, her father was quite strict most of the time. Kate was most comfortable with her mother around.
Her mother loved her the most.
…Well, after her father.
Anyway, she knew that staying with her mother meant that she would be pampered by the other party.
Kate’s Mother turned around. Her eyes lit up when she saw her daughter. “Kate!”
“Mommy!” Kate happily ran to her mother and hugged the other party. Anyway, she often hugged her mother even when she had grown up.
Kate’s Mother smiled. “What brings you here today? I thought that you’ll go with that Kyle and head over to the frontline and clean up the giant mutated animals again.”
“Well, I have already done that in the morning.” Kate scratched the back of her head. “Kyle then took me here, so I’m going to spend dinner with you, Mom.”
“In that case, help me peel the potatoes?”
“Yes!”
Kate happily took the smallest knife and then began to peel the potato. She had to admit that she couldn’t cook that well. Well, the food was barely edible if she was the one who cooked it, but she had helped her mother from time to time with her limited ability.
Looking at her daughter who had turned small again, Kate’s Mother laughed lightly. She bent down and pinched her daugher’s cheek.
“Mooom!”
“Well, you’ve turned to become very cute again, so I can’t help it.” Kate’s Mother laughed. “You little lass, I’ve always worried that you will end up to be alone in your life, so seeing your cute figure, I feel as if I’m looking at my granddaughter.”
Kate was speechless. Well, it couldn’t be blamed that she had been single all this time, ok? She herself didn’t know why but she was not exactly interested in having a relationship before.
She was too busy with the matter of her study and also her other hobbies. At that time, she didn’t think that it was necessary for her to find anyone to spend her time with them.
It was really hard to trust someone else so easily.
She didn’t want to think too much.
Anyway, she’s only in her early twenties, wasn’t it a bit early to talk about marriage?
