198 It’s Not That Easy To Believe

“Hey, sorry if I interfered too much. But what kind of relationship have you guys had?”

“Eh?” Arthur and Kalea turned to Kai at the same time.

“We-”

Kalea’s words were cut off, her eyes rounded as Arthur put his arm around her shoulders. “He’s my lover.”

“I told you we’re not!” Kalea exclaimed as she swatted Arthur’s hand away from her shoulder in annoyance. Kalea smiled wryly at Kai and said, “I’ll tell you later.”

Arthur raised one eyebrow, disagreeing with Kalea because he had to know what Kalea was going to tell his rival. “Why later? I can tell him now. We-”

“The point is, it’s quite complicated. We’re under contract,” Kalea interrupted to prevent Arthur from answering the scarlet man’s question.

Kai looked at Kalea and Arthur in turn, the two people were now a little strange in Kai’s eyes. To be honest, he was still curious because even Kalea’s answer had not made his curiosity disappear. Contract? Do people who live in the city often make contracts in relationships? Kai wondered if their mindset was very advanced and varied.

The corner of Kai’s lips lifted, showing a sweet smile that was as bright as the sun. “Alright. I understand enough and won’t ask any more questions. Sorry, I interfered too much.”

.....

“No, not at all, Kai. You have the right to know,” Kalea replied a little guiltily, while Arthur glanced at the girl quite annoyed.

“What reason does Mr. Egner have to know about our relationship?”

“Mr. Jefferson, you can just call me Kai.”

“Whatever,” Arthur replied without turning to Kai, still focused on his sugar baby.

“Because I already consider Kai to be an important person in my life,” Kalea replied casually and sat down on a wooden chair that was available there. There were two contrasting reactions here after hearing Kalea’s answer. Kai was silent with his heart beating fast. The words that fell from Kalea’s lips kept ringing in his brain.

He was important, important in Kalea’s life. Did Kalea already have feelings for him? Kai looked down, holding back from screaming and his blushing cheeks would be even redder with embarrassment.

Arthur, on the other hand, was dumbfounded and his heart grew fonder. Kalea’s words were too ambiguous, he could not accept it. Jealous? Of course. Arthur no longer denied his feelings for Kalea. He did not want his throne chair in her heart to be replaced by the village man beside him now.

“And what about me? So what’s our relationship?” Arthur asked as he approached Kalea.

Kalea looked at the black-haired man with an annoyed look and seemed tired of Arthur’s behavior. “Huh? Why are you asking me? What do you think our relationship is?”

“I want to hear what answer you’re going to give him,” Arthur said, pointing at Kai.

“We’ll talk about it later. Kai has to work, and don’t you have to help him?”

Arthur was silent, especially after Kalea looked at him so sharply as if she could chop him to pieces. Meanwhile, Kai reflexively turned his head when someone called him, and it turned out to be Owen.

“Ah, I have to go there first. Mr. Jefferson, you can continue picking cacao again, I’ll be back,” Kai said and walked over to his little friend.

Arthur snorted, he looked down at the pruning shears he was still holding. If he could, he would slam them down and stop picking this damn fruit. Still not accepting having to do a job he was not used to.

“I don’t want you making any more noise, Arthur. There are a lot of people working for Kai here, I don’t want any gossip spreading around the village,” Kalea said who luckily there was no one around but the three of them. Kalea was confused when Arthur got closer to her until he was right in front of her. “What?” Kalea asked looking up at the man.

Kalea was even more confused when Arthur crouched down with a look on his face that she had never seen before. It was as pitiable as a dog discarded by its owner. “Don’t fall in love with that man.”

“Huh? Who are you to tell me what to do?” Kalea said angrily.

“The man you love.”

“Don’t make me laugh, Arthur. Those feelings are gone, I don’t love you anymore.”

“I know you’re lying. It’s not that easy for you to lose it.”

Kalea bit her lower lip, the look in her eyes showing even more annoyance at Arthur. If Arthur continued to stare at her so deeply, Arthur’s gray eyes that always made Kalea drown in enchantment could come back again and Kalea did not want that to happen.

Arthur took Kalea’s hand slowly and carefully, trying to break down her sugar baby’s wall of defense. He was still very sure that Kalea’s feelings of love had not disappeared. “Even if it’s true that you don’t love me anymore, I will continue to make you love me back, Lea. By all means, even if it’s in a humiliating way.”

Kalea brushed Arthur’s hand away so roughly that she even rubbed it as if she had just come into contact with garbage. Just a little bit, Arthur’s heart ached at Kalea’s treatment of him. However, considering what he had done to the girl, what Kalea was doing now was nothing compared to what he had done then.

“What do you really want? I won’t believe your tricks,” Kalea said sarcastically.

“I’m serious, Lea. I know, it won’t be that easy for you to believe but I’ll prove it if I really love you!”

Kalea closed her eyes, trying to calm down from all the emotions. She sighed heavily, it had only been a few days since Arthur had arrived and she was exhausted. “You have to remember that I’m pregnant, Arthur. I can’t be stressed.”

“Sorry, is there anything you want? I also want to accompany you to the gynecologist.”

“I want you to get out of here.”

“Sorry, if that’s not possible.”

“You bastard, you keep irritating me!”

“Shh, Lea. Please let me be close to my own baby. My baby also needs a father figure,” Arthur said in a tone that was so soft and somehow made Kalea slowly soften, especially Arthur who returned to holding her hand and even stroking the back of Kalea’s hand.

“Ah.” Kalea held her stomach when she felt the baby inside her kicking softly.

“Did he kick you?” Arthur asked excitedly, Kalea just nodded and kept staring at her growing belly. “Can I stroke your belly?”

Kalea’s hazel eyes turned to Arthur’s gray ones, they stared for a split second until Kalea finally broke the gaze and said, “only five seconds.”

“That alone makes me very happy.”
