Chapter 111
111 Possessive Sister
“Could you not be too close to my brother and parents?”
“... eh? Sorry, did I upset you?” Kalea asked. “For tonight, I’m really sorry for coming to this family event. It’s Arthur who-”
“The point is, I want you not to be close to my family anymore. You sold your sad story and made my parents feel sorry for you,” Angela interrupted, looking at Kalea sarcastically, her eyes full of hatred. Because she felt that her position was being threatened by the existence of the girl with the brunette hair.
Kalea looked at Angela in disbelief, she thought Angela’s words were too mean. “...I never meant it like that. Miss, Arthur and I aren’t as special as you think. We’re just friends, didn’t Arthur already tell you about this?” Kalea replied, daring to confront Angela.
“No, I can’t believe it. You can say friends now but no one knows in the future how the relationship will continue, right?” Angela asked, her face cold and condescending toward Kalea. She did not care if she was six years older than Kalea.
“What made you hate me, Miss? So I can fix it,” Kalea said, trying not to reply to Angela without using emotion.
To be honest, she did not want to have any enmity with anyone at all. At least she wanted to leave a good impression and hoped that Angela would not hate her so much because Kalea never intended to take anything that belonged to Angela.
Instead of answering, Angela asked back and did not seem too interested in responding. “Does hating someone have to have a reason?” the woman asked, looking lazily at her clear fingernails and always doing a manicure every two weeks. “You don’t need to know whether there’s a reason or not, all you need to do is stay away from Arthur. Not so difficult is it?”
Difficult. This was difficult for Kalea to do because she was still under contract and still needed money from Arthur. If only Kalea could say it out loud, she would have done it a long time ago. However, she could only answer Angela’s words in her heart.
.....
“Sorry, I can’t do it,” Kalea interrupted, making Angela frown in annoyance.
Angela smiled annoyed, she stepped closer to Kalea. “Why? It’s clear that your ages are very far apart; it’s impossible for your conversation to be of the same frequency,” Angela said, her eyes staring at Kalea from head to toe, her haughty smile still etched on her lips. “What do you want from my brother? Money?”
“Looks like you’ve said too much. Miss. Jefferson, don’t worry. I won’t take your brother’s attention, all his attention will be on you,” Kalea said with a flat look even though her heart was aching from being humiliated again. “I understand you want all that attention just for you, but isn’t that a very selfish attitude? If you continue like this, I feel sorry for Arthur and his future wife. It should be-” Kalea was surprised when Angela gripped her cheeks tightly enough. The woman’s gaze gleamed with a hatred more than ever.
Kalea cursed in her heart, she did not realize she had said something that should not have come out of her mouth. And now she has really pissed off Angela.
“What do you know about me? How dare you talk so casually, is it because you think Arthur will defend you? Or my mom?” Angela furiously gripped her hand on Kalea’s face making the girl unable to say anything and could only stare at Angela a little scared. It was like seeing an angry Arthur but from a female version. “I also know you’re not a student at my brother’s college. You’re a liar,” Angela continued curtly as she released her grip so that Kalea could finally breathe normally again.
However, Angela’s words just made her heart beat faster. Angela knew that she and Arthur were lying.
“I don’t know what kind of relationship you guys actually have until you have to lie about your identity. But I know where you went to college. Maybe you can lie to my parents, but you can’t lie to me.”
Kalea could not reply to Angela’s words, she could only look down at the floor tiles with an indescribable feeling.
“Suppose it turns out that you are dating my brother. For the rest of my life, I don’t want to approve of your relationship. I don’t want Arthur to date a woman who is much younger than me,” Angela finally said sarcastically as she pushed Kalea’s shoulder with her index finger. After that, she left the room leaving Kalea who remained motionless without saying a word.
Kale took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. Trying to be friends even though her mentality was slightly eroded because of Angela. What Arthur had said to her really happened. This sugar daddy’s sister really hates her to the point of banning Kalea directly so she doesn’t have to be too close to Arthur or the woman’s parents.
The brunette-haired girl did not know what to do now, she walked unsteadily to close the bedroom door. For now, she had better change her clothes first.
Actually, if Angela truly despises her and it’s difficult to persuade her to change her mind, Kalea has no choice but to surrender. Angela is terrible, she is completely possessive and very obsessive about her own brother. However, for some reason, Kalea could not tell Arthur this. Se did not want to make the sibling relationship fight because of her.
Kalea sighed heavily, whether she should be grateful or not to meet Arthur. But for some reason, she was always faced with various women who really liked Arthur. Even the friendship that she used to have was destroyed after Aluna met Arthur.
Kalea chased away her slightly incorrect thoughts. Aluna’s case was different, the girl had never been sincere with her. Arthur was only the culmination of their problems at that time. Maybe if Kalea did not agree to introduce Arthur to Aluna, the fake friendship would continue.
She had decided to take this incident as a thing of the past and would not tell her sugar daddy. After all, Kalea would never meet the Jeffersons again.
The next morning, Arthur invited Kalea to come home after they finished breakfast together.
“Thank you for letting me participate in your family events and even stay one night here. Sorry, I’ve been a bother,” Kalea said very politely as she bowed briefly.
“Oh, Dear. I’m glad the woman Arthur brought was you, Lea,” Aquila replied while hugging Kalea warmly. “Feel free to come here.”
“Be careful on the road,” Albern said, in turn giving Kalea a short hug. The girl smiled sweetly, very happy because they were received so well even though the second child of the Jefferson family hated her.
Angela smiled very sweetly at Kalea, walked over and hugged the girl as if nothing had happened last night. “Nice to meet you, Lea! I hope we can meet again!” Angela exclaimed in a fairly loud voice. Kalea was surprised, but she hugged Angela back. Suddenly Kalea’s body seemed to freeze when the woman with the short hair brought her lips to Kalea’s ear and whispered, “You don’t think I really said that, do you? Remember what I said yesterday, stay away from my brother and parents. I can do anything to make you stay away from them,” Angela threatened.
Angela let go of the hug and smiled sweetly again until her eyes narrowed. While Kalea could only reply with a bitter smile.
“We go first,” Arthur said goodbye to his family after hugging them one by one. Then after that, he invited Kalea out of the house and into the car.
During the trip, Kalea was mostly silent, looking at the road ahead with a blank stare. This made Arthur confused and worried about the condition of his sugar baby. The man grabbed Kalea’s arm and kissed the back of her hand.
“What’s wrong? You’ve been daydreaming,” Arthur said, making Kalea turn to him.
“It’s okay, I’m just a little tired,” Kalea replied with a faint smile. She let Arthur continue to kiss her hand.
“Meeting with my family was really tiring, huh? I’m sorry for bothering you,” Arthur said, feeling guilty.
Kalea shook her head slowly, the corners of her lips rising even more. She had to pretend she was fine so Arthur would not worry and suspect her. “It’s no big deal, you’re also often bothered by me.”
“Angela didn’t say anything to you, did she?” Arthur asked suddenly, making Kalea’s heart stop for a moment.
“...no. She didn’t say anything.”
“Really? Be honest with me, I’ll reprimand her.”
“No, Arthur. Maybe she doesn’t like me like you once said, but she didn’t say anything to me at all. Don’t worry, I’m not going to see your family again, right?”
Arthur was silent for a moment, he let go of Kalea’s hand slowly. Kalea looked at the man a little strangely at his change in attitude.
Arthur just smiled blandly and then said, “Yes, I hope so.”
