Chapter 98
98 Shocking Truth
“Hm? I was just about to say hello to you guys, but Desmond already said my name.”
Arthur’s eyes were completely rounded, his body suddenly froze when he heard that voice. He seemed reluctant to turn back, facing the owner of the voice.
“Aurora! Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you! You are getting more beautiful,” Desmond said as he hugged the woman named Aurora.
“Long time no see, guys. I’m really happy to meet you,” Aurora replied, returning Desmond’s hug with a sweet smile.
“Arthur, your ex. You’re so arrogant you don’t want to talk to her,” Desmond teased, nudging Arthur’s elbow, who had not yet spoken to Aurora.
“Oh, is this Arthur? Wow, long time no see,” Aurora said, brightening the atmosphere with her presence.
Reluctantly, Arthur turned around and for the first time since that incident, he was reunited with Aurora, his ex-girlfriend in college. Arthur smiled faintly, he welcomed Aurora’s embrace even though it was very forced.
“Looks like you’re doing well,” Arthur replied, his smile growing even more bland. He could not act like he used to when dealing with this woman.
“Oh, of course!”
.....
On the other hand, Kalea was fascinated by this woman named Aurora. If Aurora was a former student during Arthur’s college, it means that the woman’s age is not much different from her sugar daddy’s. However, her appearance was still very beautiful and did not look like she was already in her thirties. With a long wavy black hair that sparkles, beautiful body that contains in several parts and pure white skin, her face is also very gorgeous with thick lips like Angelina Jolie, the impression of this woman is really very mature and sexy.
This was Kalea’s first time seeing a woman truly that beautiful. Seeing Arthur’s ex, who was as gorgeous as this, Kalea could easily believe it because they matched so well even while having a conversation like now. It was as if the two of them lived in different worlds.
For some reason, Kalea felt very foreign in this place. The distance between her and Arthur seemed very far and Kalea felt like she was just an invisible shadow.
Kalea was slightly surprised when Arthur wrapped her arm around Kalea’s waist. “Then we go first, I have to give Janice’s wedding greetings and meet Daniel.”
Aurora finally realized the existence of a girl she had never seen. “Your lover, Arthur?” Aurora asked matter-of-factly.
“She’s my friend,” Arthur answered simply. While Kalea just smiled stiffly, she did not dare to stare at Aurora for too long because her self-confidence suddenly became low. Both of them also excused themselves to go to the place of the bride and groom, who were the main characters on their happy day.
Several times Kalea glanced at Arthur secretly, eager to ask but afraid of making Arthur uncomfortable. The man’s face was flat, as if he did not want to be bothered with anything anymore. After congratulating Janice and her husband, Arthur and Kalea meet Daniel.
“Wow, I didn’t expect you to invite Lea here,” Daniel said as he took a sip of his wine.
“And it turns out you didn’t bring both of them,” Arthur replied, reaching for the glass filled with wine just like Daniel. This friend apparently did not bring Zeline or Angela. Daniel did not bring anyone and came to Janice’s wedding alone.
“To be honest, I didn’t invite them at all, I just wanted to upset you.”
Arthur rolled his eyes lazily, then said, “Yes, yes. I know.”
“So you’ve met her?” Daniel asked, referring to the woman who had been in a relationship with his best friend in the past.
“I don’t want to talk about it, Daniel,” Arthur replied coldly. Her mood changed drastically and Kalea did not even dare to speak out of fear.
“I’m sorry, I need to go to the toilet,” Kalea said, daring to speak and leave the creepy atmosphere.
“I’ll take you,” Arthur said.
“N-no need! I won’t be long and will ask the waiters where the toilet is,” Kalea refused quickly. Without waiting for Arthur’s response anymore, she left quickly. After asking one of the waiters once, she ended up in a toilet where there weren’t so many people.
Kalea took a deep breath and then exhaled. She looked at herself in the mirror, her face sad, She did not know what feelings were running through her heart. “I shouldn’t have come here,” the girl whispered.
Kalea is quite confident with her current appearance. However, after seeing Aurora, her confidence seemed to fly with the wind. What’s more, everyone seems to turn their attention to the woman, really proving that her sugar daddy ex-girlfriend is so gorgeous.
There were many questions in Kalea’s brain. Actually, she was curious about what was going on in the relationship between Arthur and his ex. They are very compatible, then what makes the two people separate? Kalea thought, maybe it was the woman named Aurora who finally made Arthur what he is now, or maybe Aurora could not stand the man’s asshole nature. However, why does not Arthur want to talk about his ex? Did not Desmond say that Aurora was his most beautiful ex? Why did Arthur seem unhappy to meet this woman?
Kalea shook her head quickly and patted her cheek quite tightly. There were too many reasons that could be the cause of their separation, Kalea would never know that, especially since she was not someone who had to know the truth.
“Ugh, but I’m really curious,” Kalea muttered while biting her finger a little exasperatedly.
After her heart calmed down enough, she came out of the toilet. She walks back to where Arthur and Daniel are. However, she did not find her sugar daddy there. “Mr. Mckenzie, um . . . where’s Arthur?” Kalea asked while looking around for Arthur’s figure.
“Aah, you’re back, Lea. Arthur is talking to someone, maybe he’ll be back soon. You just wait here with me,” Daniel replied with a very sweet smile, as if he wanted to make Kalea not worry about Arthur.
“Um, may I ask a question?”
“Sure, what is it?”
“Is Arthur currently dealing with his ex?” Kalea asked, making Daniel choke on his drink. “I-Im sorry!”
“No, it’s okay. “I’m just surprised by your question,” Daniel said softly, wiping his mouth with a handkerchief. “So you’ve met Arthur’s ex?” the man asked, back on topic.
Kale nodded. “She is very beautiful.”
Daniel looked at the girl and smiled meaningfully. “I can’t tell you about their past relationship. You’d better ask him directly,” Daniel said.
“Then I’ll excuse myself.” Kalea was about to leave, but Daniel quickly grabbed her arm.
“Where are you going? You’d better be here with me,” Daniel said now that his face looked worried.
“Don’t worry, I won’t bother them. I... I do intend to go home now.”
Daniel blinked, not understanding. He let go of Kalea’s arm, then said, “Huh? Do you want to go home now? Wait for Arthur a little longer, he won’t be long or let me tell him-”
“No! I beg you, don’t tell him. I’ll call him later.” Kalea is now completely gone from Daniel’s presence, but actually she is lying. The girl looked for Arthur out of curiosity about what the man was talking about with his ex.
Kalea arrived at a place quite far from other people. Her steps stopped when she really saw Arthur and Aurora together on the balcony. Kalea hid herself a bit, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. Kalea also did not understand why she suddenly became this curious about the relationship between the two people.
“I have nothing more to talk to you about,” Arthur said in a cold voice. The man looked away, leaving Aurora.
“Wait! Arthur, how can I make you trust me if it’s really not what you think!” Aurora shouted, holding Arthur’s arm to stop walking. Her eyes glazed over, she repeatedly explained the events at that time that ended their relationship, but Arthur never wanted to believe it.
“I not only thought, but I saw it with my own eyes!” Arthur snapped, pushing Aurora’s hand away from his arm. “We’re no longer in a relationship. It’s been a long time. You shouldn’t have to bring it up again, because I’m also very fed up,” Arthur snarled, looking at the woman very sharply and full of anger. Unlike Arthur, who usually looks calm and treats women well.
The tears that she had been holding back for so long rolled down her cheeks. “But I still love you to this day,” she sobbed, and Aurora wiped away the tears that would not stop falling. “I-I want to mend the relationship, can’t we just do it again? I was completely framed back then and did nothing with him!”
Arthur rubbed his black hair in frustration. “Don’t talk nonsense, Aurora. There’s no way you still love me.”
Aurora walked closer to Arthur and then grabbed the man’s hand. “Arthur, until now I haven’t been married because all I want is you.”
Kalea covered her mouth, she almost made a sound because she was so shocked to hear the woman’s confession. Kalea held her chest, her feelings were really mixed. Does Aurora still love Arthur? What if they became a couple again, then what about her? Will she be thrown out?
What should she do now?
