200 Flower Bouquet

Just like Kai, Arthur’s eyes became more serious. He then said, “I realized that I love her very much and will bring Lea home.”

“As long as you don’t force her and it’s Lea’s own wish, I won’t stand in the way,” Kai replied with a slight smile. “Lea has been suffering so much from all the things you’ve done to her, she’s trying to heal her heart and get away from you. That’s why I don’t want her to suffer anymore because of you.”

Arthur’s hands were clenched tightly, holding back anger. However, what Kai said was true. He had hurt Kalea too much to know how to make her forgive him and come back to him.

In the afternoon, their work was done. All the cacao pods had been picked and had to be broken to collect the seeds. Arthur really did not expect that he would actually help Kai until the end. Never in his life would he have imagined doing something like this. Arthur carried two sacks of cacao fruit that he had picked.

“I’m done picking,” Arhur was heard reporting, he also gave the two sacks to Kai.

“Thank you, Mr. Jefferson. You’re very helpful,” Kai replied with a big smile. However, it looks annoying in Arthur’s eyes.

“Yeah, indeed. You underestimate me too much,” snorted the black-haired man quite resentfully.

The two of them walked hand in hand to collect all the fruit that had been picked while checking on Kalea who was still in the wooden chair asleep.

So beautiful, Kalea is always beautiful anywhere and anytime. Arthur smiled, he intended to approach Kalea to carry the girl to prevent her from sleeping on the chair. However, it was too late. Kai had already done it first. Arthur’s gray eyes continued to watch how Kai tried not to wake Kalea, his heart ached even more when Kalea woke up a little and wrapped her arms around Kai’s neck.

.....

“Mr. Jefferson, I have to go home first so Lea can sleep in the room. Thank you again for helping us,” Kai smiled again and started to walk away with Kalea who fell asleep again in his arms.

Arthur just stared at the two people who were moving away. It hurt, of course it hurt him. Arthur never imagined that another man would treat Kalea like this, because he was usually the one who did it for her. And if he had been the one carrying Kalea, he was sure she would have resisted and kept struggling to be put down. Arthur’s shoulders were dropping, he was tired today. Physically and mentally. He brought the sacks to Owen.

“Wow, thank you, Mr. Jefferson, for your hard work,” Owen said to Arthur who carried all the sacks by himself. “Hm? Where’s Kai?”

“He took Lea home first,” Arthur replied casually. “Then I’m off.”

“Huh? Wait, Mr. Jefferson!” Owen called, but Arthur did not turn around at all and kept walking.

On the other hand, once home, Kalea asked Kai not to carry her anymore. Kai put Kalea down at the girl’s bedroom door. Kalea was still not fully awake, she rubbed her eyes a few times, then asked, “Where’s Arthur? Have you finished work?”

“Yes, I’m going back there again after seeing my sister. You need to rest a lot, Lea. Sleep in your room,” Kai said as he gently stroked the girl’s brunette hair.

Kalea just nodded slowly, her sleepiness still present. She thought Arthur would follow them or even not accept when Kai carried her, but it turned out that such a scenario did not happen at all. And after that, Kalea went into the room to separate from Kai.

Kalea walked to her bed which was close to the window. She saw Arthur there, passing by some village girls. Kalea snorted, Arthur would still be the Arthur she knew all along. The man would flirt and continue to spread his charms. Kalea was no longer surprised. She kept watching Arthur as the girls held him and talked with him, but Arthur looked uncomfortable and seemed to keep his distance. Arthur immediately excused himself as if he wanted to get out of there. Kalea propped up her chin, she did not know how long Arthur would be here and continue to pursue her love, but Kalea would not fall into the same hole a second time.

Arthur is a newcomer who is favored by everyone, especially women. There’s no need to ask how he looks so handsome, his smile is very sweet and polite. He easily took the hearts of many people, maybe this is the power of beauty privilege.

“Every time I go around the village, I always hear Mr. Jefferson’s name. He quickly became popular in our village, Kai,” Owen said as he sipped his coffee. They were resting and preparing to send the cocoa beans to town for sale. Kalea was there too, she had just finished baking a cake and brought it to the two men and the other workers. Unfortunately, she could not give it to Ilene for fear of aggravating her health condition. Kai would not be coming to town with Owen later because he had to look after Ilene. His sister’s condition was indeed getting weaker by the day.

Kai only smiled in response. “He is indeed handsome.”

“Where is he? Not here to see you, Lea?” Owen asked Kalea who had been silent and eating her strawberry sandwich.

“Hm? I don’t know,” she replied briefly. Hearing Owen’s story, Kalea was no longer surprised. Her former sugar daddy would be wherever his feet were, all the attention would be on him.

“Are you talking about me?”

Kalea’s eyes rounded, she was surprised when a voice came so close to her ear from behind. She reflexively turned her head and found Arthur smiling sweetly at her.

“Oh, Mr. Jefferson, I just asked about you,” Owen greeted, his eyes fixed on Arthur’s hand carrying a beautiful bouquet of daisies. Kai looked at him the same way.

“Lea, this is for you,” Arthur said without permission, sitting next to the girl and handing her the bouquet.

Kalea’s forehead wrinkled in confusion, just staring at him with no intention of accepting Arthur’s gift. “Why are you giving me this?”

“I was taught by the flower girl’s mother, I made this and gave it to you,” Arthur replied looking excited, his smile even wider and more handsome. He was even happier when Kalea took the bouquet.

However, Arthur was a little confused when Kalea moved from her seat and approached one of the female workers. And unexpectedly, Kalea gave her the bouquet of flowers, and the worker looked happy. Arthur was speechless, seeing Kalea who returned with a flat expression as if she did not feel guilty at all. Kai and Owen were shocked to see the incident.

“...Why did you give it to someone else?” Arthur asked.

“I don’t like flowers.”

“Since when?”

“Since you gave them to me.”
