127 Neither Of Them Realized That
“You didn’t co here for no reason, did you? Did you co to apologize, or- to make suffer even more?”
Angela’s nether-eyes rounded, and she frowned in irritation. “Now you’re accusing ?!”
“I’m not accusing, I’m just asking,” Kalea replied as she reached for so water and drank it elegantly. “But are your wounds healed?”
“N-no need to ask ! Your wounds are worse anyway!” She retorted, raising her voice, and while Kalea was getting used to being yelled at, she was no longer as afraid of Angela as she had been before.
Angela’s hands were clenched into tight fists, her face flushed between annoyance and guilt. “You shouldn’t have helped ! You must have done it on purpose, right? To make everyone sympathize with you and make feel guilty?” she accused Angela with a sly smile.
“It was my fault too. If you hadn’t tried to grab my phone, the accident wouldn’t have happened,” Kalea said, silencing Angela. “You also held out your hand as if to say ‘help !’, didn’t you?” Kalea guessed as she smiled nosily, teasing her sugar daddy’s sister.
Suddenly Angela’s face turned red and she said, “N-no, you’re looking at it wrong!” She quickly retorted, while Kalea just nodded, not wanting to make a big deal out of it. “And now where is the tape?”
“Do you still want to get it?”
“Of course! You’re a cunning human and always take advantage. You’re intent on destroying my family, aren’t you?” Angela hissed, staring at Kalea intently. “How could you co back after getting money from !”
.....
Kalea remained silent, letting Angela continue to say what she wanted to say. Until she finally said, “I never ant anything like that. As for the five million dollars, I will give it back to you.”
Angela smiled lightly, got up from her seat and approached Kalea. “I’m willing to spend that much money to get you away from my family. All you need to do is that, it shouldn’t be difficult.”
“It’s precisely because it’s difficult that I can’t do it,” Kalea retorted, leaving Angela stunned in disbelief. “I only realized everything after trying to avoid Arthur for almost a month. I like him, I don’t know when this feeling appeared, but I can’t break the contract,” Kalea said honestly, she did not care what Angela would do after this, Kalea just wanted to be honest with herself. She could not continue to be evasive, even though her relationship with Arthur would eventually end once he found out about her feelings.
“So you really like my brother?” Angela asked again to make sure. The woman smiled irritably, she brought her face closer to Kalea’s, then continued, “Aren’t you afraid of telling my brother about this? You’ll be hated by him, your relationship is just a contract, right? Arthur wouldn’t want you to love him!”
Kalea returned Angela’s sly gaze, she was not at all afraid despite being intimidated by the woman. “If you divulge this and continue to force to stay away from Arthur I can also divulge your cris against all this ti,” Kalea retorted making Angela wide-eyed and then slightly away from Kalea.
“B-bastard! Just say it, I’m not afraid! After all, they know how I treat won who get close to my brother!” Angela challenged, even as her tone trembled with fear.
“But nothing this bad, right? And I’m also loved by your parents,” Kalea said, raising one eyebrow in a haughty manner making Angela even more furious as Kalea’s behavior suddenly changed and beca more annoying. Is it because of last night’s surgery? But it was her arm that was operated on, not her brain!
Kalea sighed briefly, now the girl’s gaze softened and ward. “Don’t worry, Arthur doesn’t think of as the opposite sex that he can love at all. I’m the only one here who loves him and I only realized it a few days ago. Maybe it’s because all this ti, he’s the only man who cares about and treats well,” Kalea said, expressing her thoughts and heart.
While Angela was silent, her ears seed to heat up at Kalea’s words, but she had no intention of interrupting. Letting the girl express the feelings of love she had for her brother.
“You can freely berate as a cunning woman, a hypocrite, pretending to be good and so on, I accept that. I ... I didn’t know that this kind of feeling is love, especially for a man who is loved by many won like Arthur,” Kalea continued, pulling the blanket halfway up her body. “I don’t care what you think of now, but I still won’t ended my contract with Arthur,” Kalea’s final was unanimous, inviolable.
Angela stared at Kalea for a long ti, then sighed heavily. “It’s up to you.”
Kalea’s eyes widened, she looked up at Angela a little surprised. “Eh? You’re not going to force anymore?”
“Argh, it’s up to you! I let you because you took the place of getting hurt!” Angela snapped in annoyance, but Kalea did not think it was a real annoyance. Angela just could not express her true feelings because she was embarrassed.
Kalea smiled and said, “Thank you, Sis.”
“Why are you suddenly calling that?!” Angela protested.
“Of course it’s because you’re older than , so I have to be polite with you and call you Miss. Jefferson is a little stiff.”
“But you call my brother by na even though he’s clearly older!”
Kalea was silent, unable to argue. She turned her face the other way, making the four corners of her elbow appear on Angela’s forehead.
“Don’t ignore , Kalea!”
Both won were suddenly silent when the door to the room opened from outside and in walked a man with black hair and a mole under his eye. Who else if not Arthur. The man looked breathless with his clothes and hair a little ssy.
“Lea!” Arthur called as he walked quickly over to Kalea. “How are you now?”
“Hm? I’m fine, Arthur. No need to worry too much,” Kalea replied with a faint smile. “Why are you ho already? The sun has just set, but you’re already here,” the girl asked, confused.
“I told Juan that I would go ho first. After all, all my work was done early,” Arthur replied as he sat down on the chair next to the patient’s bed. “Have you eaten?”
“Yes, what about you?”
“You an lunch, right? You must not have had dinner either,” Arthur guessed correctly.
“Maybe the nurse will be here soon.”
“By the way, I’ve also inford your college that you won’t be able to go for a few days,” Arthur inford her. While at the office, he also made a permission slip for the institution where his sugar baby was studying.
“What logical reason did you give them?” Kalea asked anxiously, because sotis Arthur’s plans do not go along with her.
“Huh? Of course, I’m telling the truth when I say you fell down the stairs.How could I lie about that. Besides, your college also asked for proof that you were really sick,” Arthur explained. “Ah, but I lied saying that I was the guardian of your mother’s family. It’s okay, right?”
“I guess ... it’s okay. They won’t find out that much anyway,” Kalea replied, trying to reach for her water again but Arthur quickly got it for her.
They continued to talk only in two directions, without involving Angela at all. It was as if Angela was just a grain of dust to be ignored. The woman’s gaze grew blank, she looked down.
Angela saw with her own eyes how worried Arthur was about Kalea. It was also because of this that Angela felt her position was becoming increasingly insecure. It was as if Kalea had usurped Angela’s position as the one most cared for by her brother and parents.
Angela knew, from the look Arthur gave Kalea, that it was no ordinary look. She had never seen her brother like this, she knew Arthur very well, how he behaved with various won. And she knew that Arthur had yet to realize his own feelings.
The purple-eyed woman got up from her seat, Kalea and Arthur now turned their attention to Angela.
“Ah, I just realized you’re here, Angela,” Arthur said with a wide, carefree smile, while Angela had no reaction whatsoever. She had a flat look on her face and wanted to leave the room imdiately. “How’s your injury, feeling better?”
“Yes,” she said curtly and headed straight for the exit, ignoring her brother, who was calling her na.
Not even Arthur pursued her. Whereas since childhood, Arthur had always been there for Angela. Being the one who worried the most even though she was only injured by a small scratch. However, it felt different now.
Angela bit her lower lip, it might be like this if her brother already had soone to love. It was no longer the ti to monopolize Arthur’s affection. Angela took a deep breath before finally opening the bedroom door to get out of there.
Suddenly, she was startled by Dariel’s arrival with ... Angela did not know who this woman was, but suddenly her heart burned with jealousy when she saw Dariel holding her arm.
