After hearing her more than half an hour of reasons and asking if he wants to know more, bewilderment etched on the trio's face.
"As a man, I am feeling bad for President Lan. She roasted him off. But she is right though." Ryan commented.
Olivia patted on Arlo's shoulder, "Good choice."
Arlo's lips tilted up and asked in confusion. "Darling, if she wants to stay in the Harley mansion when we marry, will you two come with us?"
Ryan choked. "You already decided she will marry you. Upon that, you also decided to stay where she wants. Impressive."
Arlo rolled his eyes at him and looked expectantly at Olivia. The latter chuckled at him, "Of course, I will support that child. She is so sweet and adorable."
Ryan and Arlo looked at each other and then at Olivia. Both asked in unison "Are we still your grandsons?"
Olivia ignored them and clicked on the play of a voice recorder.
When they heard, Kris commenting on Sky about dressing sense and way of thinking, her reply saying 'I pity you.' made Ryan roll on the sofa, laughing his heart out.
"Did she undress in front of him?" Olivia was puzzled hearing zip sound.
"Grandmother, She was wearing a double dress. She was prepared to piss him off if he insults her. And is he a blind? Sky is very pretty, how can he call her ugly duckling? I thought she just plays with my words. She is super vicious. Grandmother, if Sky and Handsome Demon have word war, who will win?" Ryan asked excitedly.
Olivia looked at Arlo, "I will cheer for her." Both rolled their eyes and finished hearing it.
Olivia patted on Arlo's head which was on her lap. "She just wants a simple life. Fate brought her to Harley and she is entangled with everything. Good that your identity is not disclosed much. Help her to keep her identity a secret as long as you can."
"I will!" Arlo said with a smile. It was a promise to himself for her.
Ryan who was hearing the recording of how Sky screwed Kris, asked suddenly, "Grandmother! I know Sky is upright and she doesn't hold back when she has to stand for her or others. Isn't that make her a calculative person?"
Arlo who was closing his eyes, opened it and turned to him, "If you irritate a rabbit, doesn't it bit you back? Instead of standing and crying for help, it's better to stand up for ourselves because we can't expect others to be with us all the time. And we can't live in this world being meek."
Ryan nodded at him understandingly but commented after realizing, "You will be a wife slave."
"What's wrong in that?" Olivia and Arlo asked in unison leaving Ryan speechless.
-- In the airport lounge --
Sam looked at Sky controlling his laughter, "Do you call it polite?"
Sky pursed her lips. Of course, she was polite and she even was going out saying she didn't want to make things awkward between them. But he was the one who called her cheap and ugly duckling. It's already good enough, she didn't punch him on the face.
"I was. then he asked for the reasons. I may not be beautiful but I'm not an ugly duckling, okay?"
Sam flicked on her head and became quite.
Arlo thought about her statement, 'I may not be beautiful but I'm not an ugly duckling.'
'Kris Lan, you are just a piece of shit.' He thought to himself.
When they boarded the plane, she received a call from Daniel before turning it to flight mode.
"Brother Dan! What's up?" Sky said as she went towards her seat.
Sam furrowed his brows hearing 'Brother Dan'. 'What are they cooking again?' He thought to himself.
"What?... Okay okay. I will give him." Sky's panic voice got both men's attention and Sky passed her mobile to Sam.
Daniel told her Sam's mobile was not reachable. His father was hospitalized because he fell down while descending stairs and was unconscious. Sky told to Arlo in the meantime. When Sam returned mobile to Sky, the latter spoke, "Let's go."
Although she just met him once, he was very good with her and Sam always helped her with everything. So she wanted to be at least the least bit of use for the Cox family.
"Sky! You aren't coming. You go with Arlo. I will manage here." Sam tried to convince Sky who was going towards the exit of the plane.
"I will not be able to go. I am coming with you. That isn't important." Sky insisted.
As he had no time, Sam looked at Arlo. The latter nodded in understanding and held her.
"Sky, Be good. I will give you an update about everything. Don't worry about here. Do your exams well." Sam said and left.
Arlo didn't let go of her hand and tried to convince her pulling her back to seat.
"He will be even more tensed if you leave and follow him. Don't worry. Okay?" Arlo tried to make sense as he was typing a message to Ryan to send the best doctors for Sam's father.
Sky flung his hand, "I will call Dad."
She called David but it was busy. Then she quickly called his assistant and told him to inform David and help Sam. She was about to call Ben Goody, Air hostess instructed her Nth time to stop using the phone.
Hearing the annoyed tone of Airhostess at Sky, Arlo glared at her. Not being able to take his cold stare, Airhostess apologized and left.
Arlo took Sky's mobile and held her shoulders, "I have asked to get the best doctors for him. Don't worry."
Sky calmed down after hearing his assurance and bit her lip as they were already in the air. They were in a fifteen-hour long flight, how can she be not worried. She regretted choosing the public flight and for not taking Harley jet. In that case, she would have canceled it right away and went with Sam.
She glanced one last time at Arlo and slumped back on her seat.
