“From today I will live in this village together with you.”

Kalea was dumbfounded, what crazy idea was Arthur planning?

“Huh? Are you crazy? Who let you stay here?” Kalea asked defiantly, her gaze sharp. However, Arthur did not seem to mind.

“I’ve asked the village chief for permission. As for where I live, there are many people who will gladly accept me,” Arthur replied proudly. Kalea was speechless, Arthur meant what he said.

Kai did not seem to like it, and Arthur realized it. The black hair man now turned to Kai, a lopsided smile gracing his face. “Looks like we haven’t been properly introduced. I’m Arthur Jefferson, the man Lea loves,” he introduced himself as he extended his hand.

Kalea no longer knew what to think. What nonsense was Arthur talking!

“You- who loves you? I’m not!” Kalea hissed sarcastically.

“You love me, and so do I.”

Kalea massaged her forehead, suddenly dizzy. Her life had been so safe and peaceful, but Arthur had to come back and ruin everything. She did not want to respond to Arthur’s words anymore, she pulled Kai’s arm to get away from the crazy man.

.....

“Just ignore him, let’s go inside,” Kalea invited but Kai did not move from his position at all. Instead, he returned Arthur’s hand which was still in place. Kalea’s eyes rounded, she turned to Kai who had not said much with a serious look on his face.

“Kai Egner, the man who loves Lea sincerely,” Kai replied looking straight at Arthur’s gray eyes. Not only Arthur, Kai also surprised Kalea.

What’s wrong with these two guys?!

Arthur just smiled wryly, they were still shaking hands and he felt Kai squeezing his hand more firmly like there was a hidden grudge.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Egner,” Arthur said with a sweet smile but the aura behind him was dark.

Kalea rolled her eyes lazily, she smacked both Arthur and Kai’s hands to release the handshake. The difference was that Kalea smacked Kai’s hand lightly, while it was the other way around for Arthur.

Arthur grimaced as he stroked the wrist that had fallen victim to the girl’s violence. “Not fair,” he sneered but Kalea did not care.

“I don’t care where you live and what you’re here for. Just leave me and Kai alone,” Kalea threatened still with her sharp, knife-like gaze. She pulled Kai’s arm to enter the house, and this time the scarlet hair man complied. Kai glanced at Arthur who was looking at them with a faint smile on his lips.

Arthur’s smile disappeared after the two of them had entered the house. He held back his jealousy when he saw his sugar baby close to another man. What a jerk he was when he had always played with other women besides Kalea. He hated, hated seeing Kalea holding Kai’s arm, they were so close that Kai even snatched the brunette girl’s smile.

Arthur chuckled in annoyance, for now he could not help but get out of Kai’s residence. What Arthur said earlier, was indeed true. Before he came to meet Kalea, many residents extended help when he had just set foot in the village. The long legs were now walking away towards the village chief’s house. He would rather stay there because there happened to be a small house that was empty.

“This is the house, I’m sorry if it’s too small but if you want something better, you can stay in one of the rooms in our house,” said the village chief, Andrew.

“Oh, I’m fine here, thank you and sorry to trouble you,” Arthur replied politely. “Ah, this is for you, Mr. Tynor. I hope you like it,” he continued as he handed over a parcel of delicious-looking and expensive chocolate treats, not to mention the other items he had deliberately brought to ingratiate himself with whoever Arthur was after. Andrew was so happy, he smiled broadly and tapped Arthur lightly on the shoulder.

“That’s very kind of you, thank you!”

“Not a big deal, Mr. Tynor,” Arthur replied with a friendly smile.

And in just a short time, he was able to get along with Andrew. After Andrew returned home with the two daughters who had secretly fallen under Arthur’s spell, the man with the black hair entered the small house.

He did not want to make any comments even though it was his first time living in such a small house and the bathroom was much bigger. Arthur placed his large suitcase next to the bed and then he plopped down on the bed. It was not soft at all.

“It looks like if I stay here too long, my body will continue to hurt,” Arthur muttered who did not feel the softness of the heaven on earth called bed. However, no matter what happened he could not give up easily. He was determined to get Kalea back, knowing what made the girl hate him so much. Arthur got up from his bed. “I’d better take a shower first.”

On the other hand, Kalea still had not said much after the second meeting with Arthur. Even the same with Kai, the man did not seem to be in a good condition. This left Ilene confused as to what had happened to the two. Because when Kalea came alone to her room, the girl looked gloomy, just like Kai.

“Kai, is something wrong?” Ilene asked Kai who peeled a rabbit-shaped apple for her. This time only Kai came to the room. Usually, the younger brother would have many stories to tell and was always enthusiastic. She also knew that Kai loved Kalea because Kai often talked about the girl. However, today felt very different.

“Hm? I’m fine, really,” Kai replied with a bitter smile. Ilene knew her brother was just forcing a smile to keep from worrying her. However, they had not lived together for a year or two. Ilene knew her brother’s habits by heart.

“Does it have something to do with the man who came in yesterday?” Ilene asked to the point and to the point. Kai was a little surprised but he hid it by keeping his head down, busy peeling one apple after another. “Kai, you can’t hide anything from me. You know that, right?”

“No, Sis. I’m just a little upset that that jerk came again.”

Ilene frowned, it was rare for Kai to speak so harshly to someone. “Why is that?”

Kai put down the knife, looking seriously at his sister. “Sis, I love Lea,” he said with his heart beating fast because this was the first time he told his sister about his love.

“Yes, I know that.”

Kai’s cheeks, which were red from the start, were even redder because he felt like an idiot. He thought Ilene would not know but she had realized from the start!

“Why didn’t you say so?!” protested Kai in embarrassment.

“I just wanted you to say it yourself,” Ilene replied, smiling with laughter. “So, is that guy Lea’s boyfriend?”

Kai shook his head, “I don’t know either. Lea didn’t tell me at all but they were close.” His emerald eyes looked at Ilene who was holding his hand.

“Kai, I don’t know the details of what happened. But I hope you can fight for what you want. You’re a good boy and know what’s good for you, I trust you won’t do anything to disappoint me,” Ilene said in a gentle and soothing tone. “If you love her, earn her love the right way. Don’t be pushy, because if she’s your soul mate, fate will surely bring you together.”

“Yeah. I don’t want Lea to go back to that man either,” Kai said with his hands clasped tightly. Kai smiled widely at his sister. “Thank you. I’ll do my best!”

In her room, Kalea looked at the ceiling with an annoyed expression. The memory of what happened today and yesterday continued to make her blood boil. Many questions popped up in her brain about Arthur.

Why did Arthur come here? Why did he say that Arthur loved her? What would he do? And would Kalea let Arthur have his way again?

Kalea closed her eyes, she could not have too much emotion or her baby would feel the same way and make her condition worse. The slender hand reached out and stroked her stomach lovingly.

“No matter what happens, we must not waver,” she murmured until she fell asleep and entered the dream world.

And the next day, the sunny morning that Kalea loved so much was shattered. Because Arthur was already in front of Kai’s house in his casual clothes. Kai did not seem to mind, he even told the man to come inside to have breakfast together.

“Kai, are you serious? Bringing him here? Didn’t I-”

“He said he brought your favorite food to put you back in a good mood. It’s also for the good of your baby, Lea,” Kai cut in, the red-haired man’s smile so shady.

Kalea was silent, she glanced at Arthur who was already sitting on the dining table chair and continued to smile at her. Arthur gently patted the chair beside him. “Sit here.”
