"drop him" first. your home is near ours so it will be convenient for all of us. Roline said. she said everything in consideration of time and distance but An kai felt like she didn't want him to go to the Han villa. he wanted to give a sarcastic laugh and thumb up to how Roline's brains moved. he was now starting to see the disadvantage of her logic. a while ago, he was happy being under her strange thoughts but things had now changed. he was happy sitting near her even if it was out of the excuse of taking him home but she even suggested the reduction oftime the two could share a car, he had thought to see her disappear into that familiar place but she cut that too. a twist soon appeared on An kai's lips. Roline couldn't tell whether it was a smile or not but it looked like one.
the car soon stopped outside An kai's new home. the place was quiet and cold at the same time. An kai stepped out and so did Roline.
"I will go say hello to aunt Xia before we leave. Roline said looking at Christina. Christina was quiet this time round. she was still looking for a suitable word to express the situation between Roline and An kai at the moment.
An kai moved towards the wooden fence, he pushed the small gate like on it and entered.
as he was closing it back, he noticed Roline so he stood on the side for her to pass.
"you shouldn't act polite. Roline said.
"I mind how I treat my ex wife. An kai said in a low voice.
"it's good to know but why don't you change your habits a little, mind your drinking and the way you sleep around with your "assistants" and stop worrying this poor mother of yours! Roline said insinuating each word clearly.
"you're both here. Xia said from the door way, she came out to see who had parked a car outside their house but then, her eyes landed on the two.
"aunt, am sorry that I won't be coming in today. my sister and the driver are waiting in the car. bye. Roline said and soon turned and left. the car soon took off leaving An kai wondering where Roline got those damn ideas but he still faced Xia with a smile.
"am very hungry. I will tell you the rest once I fill my stomach. An kai said to Xia because she was about to ask questions thathe had not gotten answers to yet. Xia didn't continue either, she went in and saved An kai food to fill himself out. it was only 36 hours that she had not seen him but it looked like a year. An kai ate with a serious expression, like one doing a lovable job.
"you haven't been eating, right?"
"I did but not much. the food wasn't tastyso that's why."
"should I start packinga laugh box for you?
"it won't be necessary. I have no plans to continuestaying in this city for long. uncle wants me to work for the Ans but I don't want to. I don't know why but my body feels danger whenever I look into uncle's eyes. he hates being next to me so I don't think we can work together." An kai had noticed An kenzi's behavior towards him on the day they boarded the same car from the Han villa. An kenzi didn't wait for the car to go further before ordering the driver to stop and he hauled a taxi home as An kai was taken under his instructions.
"don't you think that you're drawing conclusions too fast?"
"no, and by the way, I want to tell you something. we shall talk about it tomorrow when I feel better. An kai said. he wanted to find his true capabilities. living like he was now made him think that he was merely a tool, something others can use and later dispose. he wanted to make his own path to living a good life and as for Roline, she reached home under Christina's inspection.
"don't you think that giving me lame excuse is sometimes useless?" Christina said to Roline. she wasn't going to fall for her calmness and pretence. What exactly happened to An kai? tell me or am going down to tell uncle that you're planning to divorce him because of your dreams. Christina threatened.
Roline got a small bottle from her bag and handed it to Christina. " take that to a laboratory, ask them to test it out but don't let anyone know."
"it's late, how do you expect me to go out?
"aren't you so desperate to know what happened to your idol? Roline asked back.
"hmm.....okay let's do this, I will wake up early tomorrow and do the job, alright?"
"as you wish. leave, I want to have a good night's rest with you out of my mind."
"Roline am your sister, how could you send me away?"
"I know but I also don't want to trouble my older sis, I want her to find a man and date!" Roline said as she pushed Christina out of her room.
"your right little sis, hurry up and divorce "him" so that I can date him."
"don't you worry, I give my old toys to needy sisters like you."
"huh?"
"goodnight!"
