Chapter 140 Daddy Issues
Meanwhile Lydia and Kayden were having each other in arms when Mr Jones and Malcolm appeared in the sight. Kayden immediately stepped away from her a bit and glanced at his father. Jones came in with a broom in his right hand while he had some spices in his right tightly shut fist.
"Dad?"
Kayden could not really understand what was Jones doing or was about to attempt with all those things. Just about at that moment Malcolm trailed behind him, he was also holding some incense sticks. In his right hand he had a lighter too, they both seemed like they were going to pull some stunt together.
Whereas Medusa stood by their side completely clueless about what they both were about to do. It made Kayden curious regarding their upcoming plan, however Jones leaped towards him as he threw the broom on the floor. There a fatherly worry on his face, after all how could he afford to lose his son in such young age.
"Oh my goodness! You woke up, oh my goodness!"
His shallow voice soon became broken in the midst as he could not keep himself calm. The man soon burst in tears and hugged Kayden without caring what happened to him before. Medusa on the other hand was awestruck, Lydia shared similar expression.
It was hard to believe that he was the same man who had been scolding them and sounded scary af. It simply made them both look at him with a stunned expression. She was sure that nobody could mess or challenge a parent's love. But at the same time both of the ladies could also feel how unlucky they had been.
They both shared daddy issues and did not have any good relationship with their fathers. It made them respect Jones for caring and becoming extremely protective of his son. Medusa and Lydia stared at the father- son's hug with envy and bitter happiness. Because they never experienced such affection.
"Haha, of course I am awake. What!? You didn't want me to wake up ever, huh?"
Kayden on the other hand patted his father's back and reassured him about his safety and health. He could not see him in pain and worrying over his safety. Thus he tried to ease him by converting the whole serious topic into a casual comedic scene. Kayden simply could not trouble his dad more than he already had done.
"Oh, shut up! You have no idea how worried I was when they brought you home."
He gently slapped his cheek making Kayden giggle a bit as he could see tear in his father's eyes. Medusa on the other hand could not refrain herself from not thinking about her own dad. She felt disgusted upon recalling how blatantly he sneaked in the house to blackmail her.
Lydia shared similar experience and lowered her head in thoughts, she recalled how her father had never given her attention let alone love. The vampiress was not stupid, she knew that Coulter only cared about himself and had some benefit or else why would he agree for Kayden.
"Haha, I was joking. Don't worry, dad. I am fine. All good."
Kayden smiled at Jones who in turn sniffled and chuckled. Malcolm on the other hand was standing there deeply immersed in some thoughts. Every single person present in the lounge was a victim of something and had a lot of unseen layers. Everyone had issues and were troubled either mentally or emotionally.
"But what happened back there? These two aren't telling me anything."
Jones was persistent in knowing what exactly happened out there. But perhaps Kayden did not intend to trouble him even more. Also, he could not afford Lydia knowing the truth about his suspicious activities. Or else she would be a tough one to manipulate.
Thus, he looked at Medusa and then shifted his eyes towards Lydia. Kayden could see that both of them stood silent, which was already unexpected from them. He called them both and intended to make them leave, so he could catch them later.
"Medusa, Lydia, would you mind going to my room and wait there? I will catch you two ladies there in a while."
He instructed them both and made sure that they leave the lounge. Medusa nodded and headed towards his room, whereas Lydia reluctantly followed her all because she did not know about his room.
After both of them were gone Kayden headed towards the sofa and sat down. As much as he want to keep his dad away from the trouble, he was also aware that only Jones knew his origin and the power running within him. He was bound to rely on him and could not trust anybody else at that time.
Thus he sent both of the ladies away so he could focus on the conversation. They both could be the hinderance in talking openly because Kayden had hidden a lot of things from both of them. And now since both of them were each other's enemies, it was possible that they will be holding each other's collars once again.
But hereby I ask you, was it wise to send them both in one room, all alone, without anyone to tame or stop them?
On the other hand Kayden was not worried about Malcolm's presence, because he had an important task for him. He wanted him to know the new situation too, since he was a slave to Medusa first. And it was obvious that Lydia's presence irked him even more.
He could possibly do anything to make her happy, even if it meant killing Lydia. That's why Kayden needed to talk to both of them and Malcolm too. There was a possibility that Malcolm will understand his situation and support him into handling both ladies.
After all, both of them were strong women, and were powerful in their own ways. Kayden could already understand the dire need to drag them both under and agreement. He looked towards Jones and gestured to Malcolm to sit down, because the chat was going to be a long one.
