Chapter 778: WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST

Chapter 778: WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PASTMisha thought it was for the best when Abigail did not make things difficult and immediately admitted that she was the one who had sent that reply. She didn't even have the slightest intention of covering it up because she didn't think it was important.        

Therefore, Misha also did not need to spend a long time with the woman and could immediately catch up with Kia at the salon.    

He got a message from Keira that Kia finally agreed to go and they were at the salon Misha made an appointment at.    

"You look pleased, Mr. Tordoff," said Richard, as he looked at Misha's facial expression from the rear view mirror. He smiled too because his boss was feeling happy. "Did anything good happen? Ah!" Richard just remembered. "You are happy because finally Ms. Kia agreed to go with you to the party? Would you introduce Ms. Kia to your parents?" asked Richard excitedly.    

Oh, what he said seemed like a good idea. Misha didn't even think about it, because he was too focused on Kia, trying to figure out if she would agree to go with him or not.    

"I haven't thought about it," Misha said quietly. He frowned, thought about it and then glanced at Richard many times, considering whether it would be good to hear this man's opinion. So far his suggestions had not been of much help and only made his situation more complicated. "What do you think?"    

Richard smiled cheerfully when he heard that.    

"In my opinion, just introduce Ms. Kia, they will be very happy to find you have a girlfriend who you are really serious about and not just playing games, especially if they know you and Ms. Kia already have a child, they will definitely agree to your marriage with her too."    

Hmm... that's also true...

"No," Kia said firmly. "I'm not ready to meet your parents yet." Kia folded her arms across her chest and frowned.    

She got her make-up done already. As for her hair, she intended to let her hair, which had just been given a fresh cut, flow freely behind her back. She looked very beautiful and charming, even though she was still wearing her everyday clothes.    

"Misha, if you insist on introducing me and telling them about Mika, I won't come." Kia was very serious about what she just said.    

She would have been very reluctant to go to the party were it not for Keira presenting her with a different point of view and reassuring her that this was good for her, but when it came to being introduced seriously and having to explain the complicated relationship between the two of them, Kia wasn't sure if she could handle that.    

Kia's original intention was to let go of the fatigue she felt because of the issue with her family, but if she went to the party, she was sure that she would get even more mentally exhausted.    

"I'm not ready and I don't think I will be any time soon." It was still not clear what the relationship between them was. Even Kia was still reluctant to admit that Misha was Mika's father, let alone being introduced specifically to his parents.    

"Then how do I address you?" Misha asked.    

"You can think of me as one of the women you've hung out with so many times." Kia noticed Keira who was sitting together with Mika at a different table.    

Right now, they were at the restaurant. As they were leaving the salon having finished with their appointment, Misha came to pick them up unexpectedly.    

The restaurant was busy, but because they were sitting in a secluded corner, their conversation could go quite well. They had the needed privacy, while Keira and Mika were two tables away from the two of them.    

"You're not one of them," said Misha. He looked offended, and it made Kia smile when she heard this.    

"I was back then." Otherwise, there was no way Kia could have had Mika.    

Hearing this Misha was silent for a moment. "No, you're not," he said quite firmly.    

But Kia didn't take his words seriously, because she knew it was better not to get her hopes up.    

"What? Because I'm Mika's mother?" Kia asked in a joking voice, as if this wasn't a big deal and the topic didn't bother her at all, even though the truth was quite the opposite.    

They had never talked about this calmly like this, because the last time they talked about it, Kia was filled with emotion and couldn't think straight.        

Meanwhile, Misha didn't know how to respond to that. He fell silent and Kia didn't continue this chat anymore and continued to eat quietly.    

========================      

"What is it?" Amber asked when she saw Alia coming home with a twisted face. She looked annoyed when she threw herself on the dining table, where she was setting their dinner.    

"I'm upset," said Alia while drinking cold water to refresh her hot mind. "I met Jemmie," she said vehemently. "Do you remember who he is?"    

Amber tried to remember the name, but she couldn't remember who it was.    

And just at that moment, Lyle came into the kitchen and sat across from Alia. He heard his daughter had just come back and sounded a little unhappy, usually she would tell Amber what was wrong. That was why he came here to hear her story too.    

Lyle knew very well about Alia's habits.    

"No, I don't remember," Amber replied. "Who's he?"    

"Do you not remember?" Alia was surprised and sighed dramatically.    

"What is it? Who are you talking about?" Lyle joined in on the conversation.    

"Jemmie, dad. Do you remember who he is?" asked Alia, she looked at her father hoping he would remember the name of the bastard.    

However, after Lyle exchanged glances with Amber, he shook his head. "Don't know, who is he?"    

"Father doesn't know either?" Alia widened her eyes dramatically, she looked at her parents with questioning eyes, as if they both had just forgotten her birthday.    

And that reaction surprised Lyle and Amber, they stared at each other, trying to figure out if they had missed anything, but after a moment of thought, they were sure they didn't know someone named Jemmie.    

"Who's he? Is that person an important person?" Lyle asked, looking at his youngest daughter scratching his head. She gave a small smile because she remembered her father's habit very well, even when Alia was little he was always like that when he was deep in thought.    

"Or is it a guy you like?" Amber teased which immediately got a sharp glare from Lyle and Alia, while she laughed happily. "I was just joking, it's okay after all right? Alia is already a teenager," she justified herself.    

"No, no, she's still a child." Lyle wanted to add that he didn't want Alia to take the wrong path like Kia, but then he restrained himself.    

Lately, the topic of discussion about Kia was really sensitive, it was like going back to the past, where they had a tacit understanding not to discuss Kia.    

But, who would have thought that it was only Lyle and Amber who thought that, because the proof was that Alia could calmly discuss her sister.    

"Jemmie is an ex of Kia who was caught having an affair," Alia told them. "Don't you remember that Kia used to cry and didn't eat for a few days. She even locked herself in her room all the time."    

With the mention of Kia's name, Lyle and Amber automatically fell silent. The two of them looked tense and didn't know how to respond, but Alia kept on telling the story, oblivious to the lack of a response from both of them.    

"Did mom and dad forget about that incident?" Alia frowned in surprise.    

The problem here was; Lyle and Amber didn't forget, but neither of them knew that something like this had ever happened.    

"Didn't you ever see Kia locking herself in her room?" Alia looked at the two of them suspiciously.    

"Kia always preferred to be in her room," said Amber. As she recalled, Kia always spent time in the room, so they didn't take it too seriously when Kia was in the room.        

However, this made Alia frown even more.    

"No, Kia doesn't really like spending time in her room. One time, Kia was scolded very badly by Father for taking me out for a night walk because I was tired of being in the room all the time," Alia explained. "Dad was very angry with Kia. Even though it was me who asked her to take me out, it was Kia who got scolded. And since then, Kia and I have started spending more time in the room."    

Lyle remembered the incident vaguely, when he scolded Kia and forbade her from leaving the house for a few weeks for taking Alia out, at that time she was not well, so Lyle was very angry with her.    

Is that… what Lyle said back then…    

He tried to remember the incident that happened a long time ago and only then did he realize what words he said.    

'Do you want to kill your own sister? You are so irresponsible!'    

Those words rang in Lyle's ears, but then, in his head it was clear how Kia took care of Alia while they were all busy with their own businesses.    

It could be said that Kia spent more time with Alia when she was at home. It could be said that taking care of Alia and this house were Kia's responsibilities.    

"So what is the issue with that man?" Amber asked in a choked voice, she seemed to be holding back a deep sadness.
