"Have you eaten? Even though Mama and Papa want to eat out, there is still food here. Let's just eat at home, okay?"
Kaili nodded happily. They headed to the dining room. "Ms. Tara, please ask them to prepare lunch. We eat at the home."
Stella gave orders to Tara, the housekeeper, who was about the same age as her. She had been working at Goh's family for a long time. Her husband also worked as Richard Goh's assistant at the company.
Hearing Kaili coming, Tara was very happy. She hurriedly gave directions to her subordinates. Kaili was a child she took care of like her own daughter. She and her husband were unlucky. She had an accident and required her uterus to be removed. Luckily at that time, Kaili's presence gave light to her life. She volunteered to take care of Kaili. Moreover, Stella was very busy. How could she possibly take care of Kaili?
After giving orders to his subordinates, Tara approached Kaili and asked, "Miss, are you home?" She then hugged Kaili.
"Aunty Tara, I miss you so much." Kaili hugged Tara back.
Kaili's parents didn't think that it was wrong because since a long time ago Tara played more roles in raising Kaili.
"Your words are very sweet. How is your life with your husband?"
"Very good. Don't you see my eyes sparkling with joy? I'm really happy with him!"
Kaili did not hesitate to express her love for Dexter in front of her parents. She was sure that the path she was currently walking was the best. Her parents would also support her.
"Very good. It should be like that. Wait here, I'll cook your favorite food."
Tara left right away.
"Then, what are you going to do in the future?" Since earlier, Stella couldn't wait to ask this.
"What else can I do? I have to make him fall in love with me again. Mama, what do you think?"
"He does not love you but treats you well, even has prepared all your needs for a long time. Don't you think it's because he has always loved you?"
Stela was a little confused seeing her daughter. She couldn't even guess other people's feelings. What a fool! How could she say out loud, 'I love Dexter'? If even this could not be explained by her. Who knew, Dexter did it all because he always loved her, not because he didn't love her anymore.
"Mama, I don't dare to think about it. Especially, if I remember what I did to him before, it was too mean. Even if he didn't love me anymore, I think that's normal. I'm going to make him fall in love with me again."
"How do you know that he doesn't love you anymore if he continues to do good to you?" Stella asked.
In a discussion like this, Richard Goh, as a man who did not understand anything in this field could only remain silent. He himself did not understand love, apart from loving his wife. Became a good listener was the most appropriate choice.
"At first, I felt he did that to me because he still loved me. Apparently not, last night he confessed it for the umpteenth time, he loved me, but in the past."
Stella just shook her head. Just because the man said he did not love her anymore, this daughter just believed it. Was she really stupid or innocent? In her heart, she was quite satisfied with her son-in-law. Even though he was poor, at least he could make her daughter happy. That was enough for her.
"Have you told him that you love him?" After a long silence, Richard finally spoke up. As if he woke up from the male side.
"Uhh ... No! I'm afraid he will laugh at me instead."
"You better say!" Mr. and Mrs. Goh, speaking in unison, made Kaili gawk.
"Should I say it? But-"
Kaili hadn't finished talking yet, Stella had already interrupted, "Just say it. There are several things that need to be stated to make it clear. If Dexter does laugh at you, take it. As you said, you have hurt him in the past. You have to take a little reward, right? After all, from your story that Dexter's attitude wouldn't hurt you, maybe he was just disbelieving. So you have to convince him."
"Okay, I understand. I will do it."
"Oh, by the way, tell Dexter, if he needs help with his company, he can come to Papa. Papa will give him support!"
"Uhhh ... Does Papa not hate him?"
"Papa never hated him. I just don't like him. But he treats you pretty well. What else does Papa want?"
"Thank you, Papa, I'll tell him." At least one burden on Kaili's mind was over. Now she just had to show her qualifications and confess her love to Dexter.
"I'm going to find a job ..." Kaili's parents looked at her in surprise.
"You?"
"Mama, Papa, I have thought about it. I have to work. This has always been my wish. Sometimes, I'm shy. My friends can go to work. While I'm just like a pet, guarded like a jewel, I don't like it. Cara has a job. She chose to become a doctor. I'm also a graduate in advertising, why can't I use my diploma to work. I beg you. It's also hard to get permission from Dexter. He didn't allow me because you guys also never let me work. So, I beg you, let me work and show my skills, okay?"
At first, Richard and Stella were angry. They thought it was Dexter who forced Kaili to go to work. But after hearing what her daughter had said, the feeling of satisfaction for Dexter grew even higher.
With a smile that bursts open, "We are indeed your parents forever. Now that you are married, the one who is responsible for you now is your husband. If he lets you work, go!"
"Okay. Persuading Dexter is not a difficult thing. I'll tell him."
"Come to the company if you want to work."
"Not! I'll find a job on my own, without a Papa or Mama network."
Kaili's determination was very strong. At least for now, this was one of the abilities she has.
