Chapter 875 - The Big Reveal
<Kyle, are you busy?>
<No. What\'s up?>
<I need to talk to you. Can you come over?>
Kyle got worried.
What was it that she needed to see him about that they couldn\'t communicate via mind speech?
He got up immediately, causing Sayuri to look at him in puzzlement. He bent down and kissed her softly, telling her, "Kay called. I\'m heading over to her apartment."
"Is everything okay?" she asked worried, getting up to walk with Kyle to the door.
"I hope so," Kyle replied.
Sayuri hugged him close and kissed him briefly on the lips, "You\'ll be fine. Whatever it is, just be there for her."
Kyle gave her a look, "Do you know what this is about?"
"Of course not!" Sayuri replied, hitting him on the shoulder, "If she asked you to head over, it must be something serious, that she has to tell you face-to-face. So don\'t make it hard on her and let her tell you."
Kyle still gave Sayuri the side glance but she looked at him without any guile or guilt in her eyes.
"Okay," Kyle said, "I will be patient."
Sayuri gave him one final kiss, a deep one this time, before he left.
After the door closed, she pursed her lips and gave out a breath of relief.
\'Good luck, Kay\' she thought to herself.
Of course Sayuri knew about Kay\'s marriage to Joseph. Keeping it from Kyle had not been easy, but that was a secret that she, Sayuri, could not reveal. Although Sayuri didn\'t know whether this was why Kay called Kyle over, it was most likely the reason.
Managing to fool Kyle was also not easy.
She may not be at par with him in terms of fighting skill, but she definitely was above his skill in espionage. Faking innocence and acting blur was the basics; but with Kyle, she had to utilise it to the max.
If she could fool him, she could fool anyone.
Luckily, she did manage to pull it off.
She wasn\'t worried that Kyle would be angry with her for hiding it from him. Sure, he may be upset at first but he wouldn\'t blame her in any way. That\'s one of the great things being married to Kyle.
He knew, and accepted, that there would be things that she didn\'t share with him (and vice versa); and that whatever was not shared, was simply one that could not be shared. It was nothing personal and it wasn\'t meant to \'hide\' things.
Kay\'s sudden act of marrying Kyle\'s \'son\' was something that only Kay could tell him. Anyone else, and it would be disastrous.
Sayuri prayed that the Smith Anger didn\'t come into play at this point.
For Kyle wasn\'t the only one that was a Smith.

Kay was waiting for Kyle worriedly in her apartment. Joseph was holding her close, not saying anything but just held her tight.
He knew how important Kyle was to her, but he couldn\'t understand why it was so difficult for her to tell her own brother about them. Was it really just about the age difference?
If she hadn\'t married him, he would have really felt her feelings for him were either fake or temporary - or perhaps, deep down, she actually feels he was not good enough for her.
All of these fears, feelings and thoughts were things that Lianne had managed to figure out and help. However, her thoughts had been filled with her own problems that she didn\'t \'follow up\' on this.
Otherwise, she would have pushed Kay to confess to Kyle (before Joseph got to be too agitated) while dropping hints to Kyle on accepting Joseph\'s actions. She knew that Kyle just needed time to wrap his mind around it, so he had to be subconsciously be prepared for it.
When Kyle arrived and walked through the door, he was surprised to see Joseph there.
His eyes narrowed immediately.
His mind worked in quick succession and he stared at Kay in disbelief.
Yet, Sayuri\'s words echoed in his mind then, reminding him to be calm and let Kay talk.
So he clenched his jaw and without a word, just sat down.
He didn\'t even mind speak with her.
This was her battle, and his was to keep calm.
Keep.
Calm.
Akikai was going to get it though.
If Joseph was here and Stephan didn\'t raise a fuss, it meant Akikai was covering for him.
He did *not* place Akikai as Joseph\'s shadow guard in order to have him cover up for Joseph. Then again, Kyle knew that Akikai wouldn\'t dare do it unless he had back-up.
Looks like there was going to be an internal purge later on.
As the thoughts swirled in, and he felt his anger rising, Kyle took several deep breaths.
One thing at a time.
Keep.
Calm.
"Kyle, I …" Kay began then hesitated, taking a deep breath.
Joseph couldn\'t stand it any more and he took Kay\'s hand in his, saying while lookign at Kyle firmly in the eyes, "Kyle, I am in love with Kay. We\'re a couple."
"Joseph!" Kay said softly, gripping his hand.
He ignored her, patting the back of her hand, as if telling her to let him handle it.
Kyle raised an eyebrow, and asked slowly while looking at Kay, "Oh? Really now?"
He didn\'t say anything else after that, but just stared at her.
"Yes," she said softly, not daring to look at him in the eye.
"You\'ve slept with him?" Kyle asked bluntly, thinking about that day when he had felt her l.u.s.t and d.e.s.i.r.e.
Had it really been just her \'having fun by herself\', so to speak?
"That is none of your business!" Joseph replied indignantly.
"You. Shut up," Kyle hissed, "I\'m talking to my sister right now. Not you."
"I will not!" Joseph said, standing up, "She\'s my wife and .."
"WHAT?!" Kyle shouted, standing up as well, "YOUR WIFE?!"
Kyle slammed his hands onto the table, "What the bloody hell are you talking about?!"
Kay grabbed Joseph\'s arm, pulling him down to make him sit.
This was *not* how it was supposed to go.
Unfortunately, she underestimated the male hormones.
Still, she felt rather proud of Joseph, being able to stand up against Kyle even though he was starting to lose it.
He had released his killer aura, probably the Smith Anger clouding his judgement right then due to the sudden shock.
"YOU!" Kyle said, pointing at Joseph, "It\'s bad enough that you\'re still just a snot-faced boy that has yet to grow up, what makes you think you\'re actually old enough to get married?!"
Then he turned to Kay, "And you! How could you just do this? It\'s bad enough you hook up with him without telling me, you lied to me about f*cking him and now, this?!"
Joseph stood in front of Kay, his legs trembling but he was firm in protecting Kay that looked like she was ready to cry, "It\'s not her fault! Stop shouting at her!!"
"I can\'t believe this," Kyle ranted on, "I thought we had a good bond, Kay. Why couldn\'t you tell me? Was it so hard?"
Kyle felt both sad and angry at that.
Sure, it was pretty strange for his own sister to get together with his son, but did she really think he would reject it if she had come to him about it? Was he really that unreasonable?
Why couldn\'t she have trusted him?
The disappointment that he felt was so strong that it turned to anger instead.
"Am I that bad that you felt you had to lie to me?!" Kyle went on relentlessly, his voice getting higher as he got more and more upset.
Kay was devastated.
Every word that Kyle said, pierced through her heart.
Just why did she hide it from him?
She, herself, did not know.
She just knew that the moment the first lie happened, it became nigh impossible for her to actually tell him.
Perhaps, deep down, she knew that he would be upset with her for the lie.
Kay felt so bad that she started crying and Joseph\'s heart went out to her.
"STOP IT!" Joseph shouted at Kyle, hugging Kay tightly, "You\'ve made her cry!"
"And don\'t get me started on you, Joseph Yang," Kyle said, "You\'re always like this. Doing things without thinking of the consequences. Always thinking you\'re old enough, know better, and all that."
Joseph stared at Kyle uncomprehendingly. Just what was going on? Why was Kyle talking as if he knew him so well?
"No matter what we tell you, you go ahead and do it, thinking that you know better," Kyle ranted on, "No, Joey, don\'t do that. But do you listen? Nooooo. Just because you get away with it once, you think it will never happen. Then BAM! It happens."
Joseph just stared at Kyle.
What. The. Actual. F*ck?!
