Chapter 18: Past Days
“This is imported yacón. They only produce 20 of these each year and they’d sent us ten on a fixed basis. You’ve never eaten this, right?”
Alexandra introduced the fruit to Kaiden.
Kaiden did not deny and nodded.
He realized that almost everything in the villa was imported from overseas and they were all personally customized from high-end stores. The girls would basically never have the problem of dressing alike to others.
The television hung within the gallery wall was showing a cody movie that Kaiden did not know. In fact, he never paid attention to movies so he would not know a single thing even if a highly-anticipated masterpiece was presented to him.
The Quinn sisters enjoyed the movie and burst into laughter from ti to ti.
“Jaz, you should go work out after finishing the fruits.”
Looking at the cackling Jazmine, Alexandra announced coldly.
She had been letting Jazmine binge for the past few days and she could see the fats building near her waist at a visible speed due to her lack of self-control.
“Alex~”
Jazmine’s smile disappeared instantly and she stared at Alexandra, almost in tears.
“I exercised a lot today. I closed myself in the dance studio for the whole afternoon and I burned a lot of calories…”
“That’s not enough. Do you think that I don’t know what you were doing there? You listened to music for at least an hour and a half in that two hours!”
Alexandra exposed her cruelly.
The corners of Kaiden’s lips twitched. ‘Listening to music in the dance studio? What kind of weird hobby is this?’
He thought that she was passionate about dancing but she was only listening to music in the studio.
“Go to the treadmill and run for 800 ters! You are not allowed to leave the machine unless you completed the 800 ters. Also, don’t forget yoga! I’ll check!”
Jazmine turned to Yvonne helplessly.
“Don’t look at like that, I’m not in a better position than you.”
Yvonne refused blatantly because she did not want to offend her eldest sister.
Jazmine switched her helpless gaze onto Kaiden. She supposed that he would not just ignore her and let her suffer.
“Uhh…sorry. I think that working out is good. I like working out, too.” He apologized but there was not a hint of guilt on his half-smiling face.
Jazmine who was enjoying the fruits delightfully lost interest suddenly, even the movie beca boring.
Although she wanted a good body figure, she loathed exercising. Besides, she had a great appetite for food and there was nothing that she could do about it. She was frustrated.
An idea struck her and she turned to Kaiden.
“I have an idea, you like working out, right? How about you help in working out and I promise you sothing in return?”
Jazmine figured that it was a good deal for Kaiden because others could only wish to have a promise made by the daughter of the Quinn family.
She was giving an opportunity away so easily but what if he was not smart enough to take it?
Looking at her solemn expression, Kaiden beca speechless.
He did not expect her to be so creative to think of such a thing.
Alexandra held her forehead as she heaved a long sigh.
Yvonne suppressed her laughter and joked with a straight face, “Alex, I think we should make an appointnt with a psychiatrist for a diagnosis. There is sothing wrong with Jaz and we should fix her as early as we can.”
“A psychiatrist? I thought that we got our confirmation already!” Luna played along with a bewildered expression.
“Hahahaha…”
Kaiden beca distracted when he thought about the strange girl who added him on LINE and he could not focus on the girls.
“I’m going back to my room, call if there’s anything!”
He finished a piece of waterlon, wiped his hands, and returned upstairs.
The maniacal sisters resud to their usual selves after Kaiden left.
“Alex, did you notice that Kaiden’s acting a little weird?”
Yvonne was the first to ask.
She had been observing Kaiden for the past few days and he was very different compared to her impression of him.
“How so?” asked Alexandra.
“He was just an ordinary programr in a company when we found him. He had to worry about his als every day, even his ex-girlfriend detested him and left him.”
“He didn’t have any other reaction when we found him and told him what happened other than the initial surprise. Isn’t he acting a little too calm?”
Yvonne concluded her observation for the past few days.
It was not a reaction that common people would have. Any layperson would be ecstatic eventually if faced with a sudden fortune after acting calm in the beginning. He was acting way too composed.
“I also noticed that he was shocked at first when Alex gave him Tweet Streaming but he regained his composure very soon after that and he had been managing the company astoundingly smoothly.”
“Although he is still unfamiliar with managing the business, his performance is similar to a mature senior manager.”
Jazmine turned to Alexandra with disbelief, “Alex, you gave him Tweet?”
Although the company was nothing if compared to the family’s main company, Tweet Streaming was still a large-scale listed company worth almost 800,000 dollars.
‘Alex gave it to him just like that?’
“Don’t interrupt!”
Yvonne and Alexandra shouted at the sa ti.
“Alex, how about you go check on him? He trusts you more, perhaps you can discover sothing,” suggested Yvonne.
After all, Alexandra was the one who invited him to their ho so Kaiden should be less guarded against her.
Alexandra furrowed her brows, “I’ll go ask him.”
She went upstairs.
Kaiden returned to his room and opened a group conversation on his phone. Looking at the mbers, he looked for their profile pictures but none of them were indicated with their real nas.
There were more than a hundred mbers in the group. He was clueless as to who they were other than the ones that he put a remark on.
Years had passed. Kaiden figured that no one would know even if he asked them there.
‘Who is she?’
He was thinking about the girl who added him to her contact list but chose not to disclose her identity. He was just a poor dude to his old schoolmates and they would avoid him. Therefore, the chances of his old schoolmates taking the initiative to contact him were very slight and he could not figure out the reason.
