Chapter 130

130 What If The Contract Ends?

Angela’s steps stopped right in front of the vending machine. Her gaze was blank, her heart still hurting from her conversation with her brother. She realized that what she had done was wrong. However, seeing Arthur so defensive of Kalea, she felt that it was not Arthur’s priority anymore.

It was as if she was a stranger to her own brother.

From the moment Arthur brought her home, Angela felt that there was something different about their relationship. The way her brother looked at Kalea was different. His treatment also seemed to be very attentive, not just a formality but really like he wanted to protect Kalea, mixed with Arthur’s pure affection for her.

Her hunch could not be wrong. It was only a matter of time before her brother realized those feelings for himself.

Angela took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. Arthur’s words earlier had really hit Angela. She was the childish one, she had overstepped her bounds, she was not allowed to control which woman Arthur was close to, and so on. It was no time for her to be like that.

The short-haired woman wiped away the tears that had fallen again, a bitter smile etched on her lips. “It’s only a matter of time until we truly live our own lives.”

“Where is Angela?” Dariel asked as Arthur’s sister showed no sign of returning to Kalea’s room.

“Why have you been looking for her?” Zeline asked in surprise with a slightly irritated tone. Dariel turned his head and raised one eyebrow.

.....

“So what, are you jealous?”

“Nonsense.” Zeline chuckled in annoyance as she looked the other way.

“If you care that much about my sister, just call Angela,” Arthur said, who was still holding Kalea’s hand as he put his head next to the girl.

“So you don’t care about your sister anymore?” Dariel asked back.

“That’s not it, asshole. Maybe if you look for her, Angela will be in a good mood again,” Arthur replied.

“Huh? What is the importance of Dariel in your sister’s eyes?” Zeline asked, still unable to digest Arthur’s words properly.

“Oh, very important. She likes Dariel.”

Suddenly Zeline was stunned in disbelief, she turned her head to look at Dariel from head to toe. Looking for something that could be used as a reason to like this man. Arthur’s sister liked Dariel? No wonder Angela did not like her and even forcibly removed Dariel’s hand from her at the entrance. It turned out to be because of this.

Zeline winced in pain when Dariel pinched her cheek. “Jerk, what are you doing, huh?!” Zeline cursed in annoyance as she patted the back of Dariel’s hand.

“Your gaze is not polite.”

“I’m looking for a reason why Arthur’s sister likes you,” Zeline mocked the doctor.

Like being stabbed by a dagger, Dariel felt insulted and could not accept being belittled by a little boy and lack of manners like Zeline.

“There are many reasons women can be attracted to my charms. You don’t need denial, your sugar daddies are all old men with big bellies,” Dariel retorted with his haughty face.

“Your mouth! You’re so good at talking! You think I’ve never had a better-looking man than you two?!” Zeline snarled, looking at Dariel warily, as did he.

Meanwhile, Arthur and Kalea just stared at them flatly. Arthur felt like kicking them out for disturbing his sugar baby’s peace.

“Lea, are you okay if they stay here? Don’t you want to kick them out?” Arthur asked as he pointed at Dariel and Zeline, a pitiable look on his face.

“Hm? ... it’s okay, Arthur. They’re just having a little fight like we’re used to,” Kalea replied with a chuckle.

Arthur pouted his mouth, then chuckled. “Damn, I don’t want to be lumped in with them.”

“I heard that, damn it!” Dariel and Zeline shouted simultaneously.

The blonde girl approached Kalea again, although the expression on her face was still annoyed by the two men who were always bothering her. “Lea, can I stay here? To keep you company,” Zeline asked, making Kalea a little surprised.

Because Zeline was usually indifferent and rude to her. Although she knew Zeline just had a hard time expressing her true feelings openly. However, now the blonde girl was showing her concern for Kalea.

“Sure-”

“Not today,” Arthur replied, interrupting Kalea’s words.

“What, why did you decide?!” Zeline protested.

“I need some time alone with Lea, Zeline. I’m her daddy, the one you asked to be Kalea’s sugar daddy in case you forgot,” Arthur said, making Zeline swallow her saliva roughly.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Dariel patted Zeline’s shoulder, then said, “Let’s go home. You can come back here tomorrow,” he said now, embracing Zeline to get away from the couple and go home with him.

Kalea looked at Zeline a little sadly and then smiled weakly. “Thank you for worrying about me, Zeline. Let’s talk about things tomorrow.”

“Yes, we’ll talk about a lot of bad things about Arthur and Dariel,” Zeline added in agreement. The two handsome men just rolled their eyes lazily, it was better to keep quiet than to continue the quarrel. Moreover, Zeline’s voice was shrill like a school loudspeaker, as if the entire hospital could hear it. Really deafening.

Dariel and Zeline also said goodbye to go home because the night was getting late. Now, only Arthur was left to accompany Kalea. He kept checking his cell phone to contact his sister, but to no avail. Angela did not respond at all.

“Angela’s still unreachable?” Kalea asked, worried by the look on Arthur’s face.

“I’m afraid something has happened to her,” Arthur replied.

“What did you talk to Angela about earlier? Did you have a fight?”

“I was just advising her not to keep bothering you.”

Kalea’s eyes rounded, did Arthur already know everything that had happened between her and Angela?

Arthur sighed heavily and put his cell phone on top of the drawer. Now placing his attention on Kalea, who was still silent as she thought about the allegations that he already knew everything.

“Lea, I haven’t heard your side of things yet. My sister did something to you, didn’t she?” Arthur asked in a tone so soft that Kalea melted. “I wouldn’t do anything to Angela. I just want to know clearly everything that happened.”

“We ... just had a little disagreement. Your sister and I don’t get along, Arthur,” Kalea replied with a bitter smile.

“It’s not that you don’t get along, it’s that Angela doesn’t want to like you. She’s been like that for a long time.”

“Well ... I’m also not someone who can force everyone to like me.”

“But if it’s already detrimental, you can’t keep quiet like this.”

“I don’t keep quiet, I always ask her what makes her hate me. She just doesn’t want your attention to be divided, right? I’m nothing to you,” Kalea replied.

“Please forgive my sister’s behavior. I’ve advised her not to be like that anymore. And about the accident, who caused it?” Arthur asked again.

“No one was at fault. I was trying to help her, who lost her balance because her heels broke at an inopportune time,” Kalea replied, not telling everything. She wondered if Angela was just saying this, because it seemed that the woman had not divulged anything about Kalea’s love for Arthur. That was also why Kalea did not want to tell him everything that had happened.

Because Angela was clearly in the wrong and that would have made Arthur even angrier. The two women were forced to keep secrets from each other that no one should ever know again.

And actually, Kalea did not entirely think getting herself hurt in Angela’s place was stupid. It was the accident that made her feel guilty. Kalea knew that Angela was not really evil. All Angela had done was threaten without doing anything truly harmful to Kalea. Moreover, Angela was an aspiring doctor, so an accident like that would have made Angela feel like a failure for hurting someone.

“Arthur, don’t think about it too much. I’m really fine,” Kalea said as she took Arthur’s hand and rubbed it gently.

“I was really worried about you two. My heart stopped beating when I saw you and Angela bleeding on the floor,” Arthur replied, starting to hug Kalea, his eyes glazed over.

Ever since Kalea had been in surgery and moved to the recovery room, he had been unable to calm down at all and was constantly awake. Even in the office, he tried to be professional, doing his work even though his mind was on Kalea and Angela.

Kalea smiled slightly, gently stroking her sugar daddy’s broad, muscular back. There was a sense of comfort and happiness in knowing Arthur was so worried about her. Although it was still uncertain how the man really felt about Kalea.

Was it okay to hope just a little? If Arthur had more feelings for her? What if Arthur really knew Kalea’s feelings had changed.

Most likely, the sugar dating contract would stop once Arthur found out that Kalea broke one of the rules.

That is to love the partner in the sugar-dating relationship.
