Chapter 101
Kalea forced a smile then shook her head. She pulled Arthur’s hand away from her cheek. “It doesn’t mean I’m like that. Just reminding you of the many women who like you, for example Luna,” Kalea replied without intending to return the man’s gaze.
Arthur’s cell phone rang indicating an incoming message. Kalea glanced slightly before Arthur got up from the bed and moved away from her. Seeing Arthur like that, Kalea knew who the message was. She decided to take a shower.
“Where are you going?” Arthur asked after he finished replying to the message.
“Take a shower, my body is sticky,” Kalea answered simply. Arthur did not respond anymore, unlike Arthur, who usually wanted to take a shower together or the mischievous actions that the man used to do.
Kalea took off her clothes one by one. Looking at herself in the mirror reflection with such a sad expression on her face and mixed feelings. Kalea does not know why she feels tightness in her chest when she learns about her sugar daddy’s past. She wonders what to do when Arthur is really with Aurora and is in a relationship again.
The brunette-haired girl smiled bitterly, wiping the tears that had unconsciously trickled down her cheeks. “Why do I have to be this sad, though I should have left when Arthur already loved someone,” Kalea muttered in a low voice.
As Zeline said, Kalea could still be a sugar baby for the man if Arthur was okay and wanted to keep in touch with Kalea. However, it’s Kalea who does not want that. Kalea does not want to be a mistress. And when her relationship with Arthur ends, she will live a normal life. Looking for work that may be more reasonable and accepted by society.
After spending almost an hour, Kalea came out of the bathroom. Her gaze immediately fell on Arthur who was still neatly dressed when he went to the wedding. The man looks engrossed in his cell phone.
.....
“You don’t usually take long showers,” Arthur commented, still engrossed in whoever he texted.
“Huh? This is my average time in the bathroom,” Kalea said, walking towards her wardrobe. “Take a shower, I don’t want to sleep with you if you want to stay like that.”
“Wait.”
And until Kalea finished wearing her nightgown, Arthur was still on the bed with a smile on his handsome face.
“Messaging with your ex-girlfriend?” Kalea asked matter-of-factly.
“Hm? Ah ....”
“Take a shower first, you can continue later,” Kalea said with a faint smile. Not wanting to argue over trivial matters, Arthur put down his cell phone, got out of bed, and headed for the bathroom.
Kalea plopped down on the bed, looking to the right where Arthur used to sleep next to her. Kalea was actually curious about Arthur’s decision after this because if Arthur returned with Aurora, she would ask to break the contract. It’s better for her to lose a running bank aka Arthur than to be a mistress.
Arthur’s bath time was not as long as Kalea’s. When the door opened, Kalea quickly closed her eyes so Arthur would know that she was asleep.
The man with black hair came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe. He brushed his black hair back with his hands, walked over to Kalea, and sat on the edge of the bed.
“Are you asleep?” Arthur asked, stroking his sugar baby’s cheek. Looking at Kalea’s face which for some time has been his favorite. Unique eye shape, small sharp nose, lips that always tease him, and thin freckles that adorn Kalea’s cheeks, this girl has a distinctive beauty. “Lea, I know you haven’t slept yet,” he said again, now pinching Kalea’s cheek a little tighter to make the girl no longer pretend.
“I-it hurts! You’re disturbing my sleep!” Kalea whimpered as she pushed Arthur’s hand away from pinching it.
Arthur laughed innocently and softly, even though Kalea was glaring at him now. “Don’t go to sleep too early. I still want to talk with you.”
“Aren’t you busy chatting with your ex,” Kalea replied.
“Her name is Aurora Claire, don’t call her ‘my ex’ again,” the man corrected, now he pinched Kalea’s nose a little.
“Her name is beautiful, the person is also beautiful. Your ex was amazing, Arthur,” Kalea said honestly. She can not deny that her sugar daddy ex-girlfriend is really charming and does not seem to have any flaws.
“What else do you want to know? You seem very curious about me, don’t you?” Arthur teased with a slight smirk.
However, Kalea kept a flat expression. “You better get dressed first, I don’t want to talk to you who’s still naked.”
“Huh? I’m wearing a bathrobe. After all, we’ll end up without the slightest thread,” Arthur replied, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly while Kalea’s cheeks started to turn red because of her sugar daddy’s naughty words.
“Y-you still want to do it with me even though you’re back with Miss. Claire?!” Kalea asked in disbelief.
“Huh? Looks like you’ve concluded I’m really with her again, huh?” Arthur asked back, raising an eyebrow. “Oh, I suddenly thought of something. If I was with Aurora or some other woman, would you still want to be with me?” Arthur asked.
Finally, this topic is discussed. This was also what Kalea thought.
“No,” the girl answered quickly, causing Arthur to raise his eyebrows slightly in surprise. “You should already know the reason I rejected it.”
Arthur no longer asked, he understood what the sugar baby meant. Arthur had known about the Kalea family’s problems beforehand and there was probably nothing else but that answer.
Arthur looked at Kalea with an indescribable look. “Lea, sorry. I’ll think about this, but I respect your decision,” he said with a bitter smile.
Kalea’s eyes were rounded, she got up from her lie down. “Are you really going to be with Miss. Claire? Are you two getting married?”
“It’s still far, Lea. I still have to think and convince myself first. So, I want you to stay with me until I’m sure,” Arthur asked, holding Kalea’s hand and then kissing the back of her hand.
“Why?” Kalea asked taking Arthur by surprise. “Why should I wait for you? Aren’t there many other women you can make sugar babies too?”
Instead of answering, Arthur just smiled faintly. Kalea could not guess what the man was thinking at all like this. “If I said I only wanted you, would you believe it?” Arthur asked.
“Huh? Why would I-”
“I don’t know. Don’t ask me difficult questions tonight. My head is so dizzy,” Arthur cut in as he pulled Kalea into his arms. “Are you okay with breaking up with me?”
“I’m just following the contract and don’t want to have excessive expectations as you love me, end the contract and then propose to me to be your wife,” Kalea replied lightly, inviting laughter from her sugar daddy.
“Is this just a joke or from the bottom of your heart?” Arthur asked releasing his hug and cupping the girl’s face.
A small smile appeared on Kale’s lips. “I’m just kidding.”
“You’re good at making jokes now.”
“Of course, because my life is full of comedy. Everything was so funny that I couldn’t laugh anymore.”
“...”
