Kalea sighed, instead of sitting next to Arthur, she chose to sit next to Kai. “He’s lying, Kai. He doesn’t know my favorite food,” Kalea snorted as she helped Kai spread the bread with blueberry jam.

“Hey, I know. Haven’t I always been watching you?” Arthur asked feeling slighted. However, Kalea ignored him. She was too lazy to talk to the man who had been her sugar daddy. Whether the contract was over or not, but Kalea had considered it over since she left him. “Lea ....”

“Did you have breakfast?” Kai asked, making Arthur look quite annoyed.

“Yes. But I accept if you give me the bread.”

“No manners at all,” Kalea sneered and devoured the bread with gusto. She smiled when she felt the blueberry jam on her tongue, it was delicious. “This is fruit from your garden, right? It’s delicious as always! I love it!” she exclaimed excitedly.

Kai smiled back, a blush appearing on both cheeks. “This is more special than the others. I want the baby in your belly to be healthy, so I chose the best fruits and vegetables for you.”

“Thank you, but you still have to sell them to make a bigger profit.” Kalea was flattered, she felt so cared for but at the same time felt bad if Kai went overboard like that.

Kai’s smile grew sweeter, his hand reached out to gently stroke the top of Kalea’s head. “Take it easy, Lea.” After that, the tail of Kai’s eyes also glanced at Arthur who was silent watching the interaction between the two of them. There was a sense of pride that Kalea ignored Arthur and chose him instead. That was exactly how Arthur should feel. Arthur deserved it. “Mr. Jefferson, don’t you want to give me Lea’s favorite food?” Kai asked which immediately made Arthur look up at him.

“Ah, yeah. Lea, this is for you.” Arthur handed a parcel of food to Kalea. The brunette girl accepted hesitantly, starting to open the red ribbon.

.....

Macarons. A bunch of beautiful colorful macarons were there. Kalea still did not understand, even though she had never mentioned this sweet cake but Arthur confidently said that macarons were her favorite food. Kalea took one chocolate-flavored macaron and said, “Why macarons?”

“These are my mom’s macarons,” Arthur replied, which immediately made Kalea remember the time he had asked Aquila to teach him various recipes. “I originally wanted to bring you mom’s lemon garlic shrimp, you said you wanted to try it. But it wasn’t possible to bring it because it was a long trip and I was worried it wouldn’t be good until I got here,” Arthur explained at length.

Arthur even lied to his mother about his sudden request to make the sweet French food. Arthur’s ears even hurt because Aquila kept asking how Kalea was doing and wanted to see the girl again. Arthur gave various excuses. And finally this was all Arthur could bring for Kalea.

Kalea devoured the macaron, one bite at a time, savoring it wholeheartedly. There was no doubt about Arthur’s mother’s cooking skills. They were as delicious as those made in patisserie shops. Kalea also offered it to Kai so that he could taste it too. “Kai, try it.”

“Eh? Is it okay?” asked Kai looking doubtful, especially since he could feel the dark aura of the person sitting in front of him.

“It’s okay, because it’s already mine,” Kalea replied casually and handed him a lemon-flavored macaron.

Kai looked at the macaron in Kalea’s hand, then he took it trying not to care about Arthur who must not like it. “Then I accept, thank you.”

“You didn’t say thank you to me?” Arthur protested to the two people.

“Hm, thank you, Arthur,” Kalea replied simply. “And thank you for your mother.”

“Mom misses you, she wants to see you. Let’s go home, Lea.” f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

“Didn’t you want me to meet your mother? You don’t have to force yourself to be a different person, Arthur. Just be the Arthur you always were,” Kalea said, not really melting that easily. She took a sip of the tea that Kai had provided. Meanwhile, the man with scarlet hair preferred to remain silent, watching the conversation between the two people.

“You have no right to tell me to back off, Lea. I’m the one who wants to change, I realized that I was a jerk back then.”

“Aren’t you still a jerk until now?”

Arthur was silent, Kalea would continue to reply to his words with a lazy expression not even wanting to meet his gaze. However, he would not give up so easily. He took something out of his hoodie and handed her an object that Kalea had used before.

“This is your cell phone,” Arthur said, handing Kalea the cell phone that Kalea had used in the past and that was always on the bed where they used to make love, channeling their lust for each other.

“Why did you bring it? I already put it there, or maybe you should just throw it away,” Kalea replied indifferently. This morning, how many times had Kalea cut Arthur’s chest? Well, this was nothing compared to what Arthur had done to the girl.

“Lea, I have a lot to talk to you about. A lot has happened and you need to know,” Arthur said with a more serious look on his face than before. Kalea’s forehead wrinkled, raising one eyebrow. She scanned Arthur’s face to see if he was lying or not.

Kalea was surprised when Kai took her hand and gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. The emerald eyes that looked at Kalea so calmly made Kalea seem to forget the world. Kai’s sudden sweet treatment, sometimes Kalea could not control the beating of her heart.

“Talk to Mr. Jefferson. I don’t want you to keep misunderstanding me.

“I don’t misunderstand! I saw it myself!” Kalea retorted, not to be outdone. To her, her feelings were valid. After all, she was the one who saw Arthur’s ruin.

“Lea, please. Just give me a minute to talk seriously. This also has something to do with Zeline,” Arthur finally said. His tongue was already itching to mention the blonde’s name. Hoping Kalea would melt a little and want to talk to him face to face.

And it worked.

“If you lie, I’ll hate you even more because you’re playing with my feelings again.”

“No, I’m not at all.”

Kai smiled slightly, he released his hand from Kalea’s hand. After finishing his breakfast, he got up from his seat. “I have to go to work. You guys need some time alone, right? Just stay here, and please Mr. Jefferson don’t do anything strange or the villagers will immediately drag you and burn you alive,” Kai threatened with a sweet smile.

“I won’t do anything dangerous, just relax,” Arthur replied.

“Kai, can’t you stay here for a while? Keep me company,” Kalea pleaded, holding the hem of Kai’s clothes, her glittering gaze making Kai stop dead from squealing in delight.

“Call me if anything happens, okay? I have to go because Owen must have gotten there already,” Kai said stroking the girl’s brunette mane affectionately.

Meanwhile, Arthur turned his gaze in another direction, hating to see a scene like this. Especially Kalea, the girl who made him realize that he loved Kalea. Arthur clasped his hands firmly, he had been holding back the urge to go blindly. And not long after that, Kai actually went to the garden leaving Kalea and Arthur at the dinner table alone.

“Talk in the living room,” Kalea said as she moved from her chair to the living room. Arthur followed her.

Silence enveloped them. Arthur didn’t expect that he would become this estranged from Kalea, the girl who once said she loved him. Arthur looked at Kalea’s considerable changes. Her belly was bigger than the last time he saw her. The girl’s beautiful long mane was now gone, Kalea had cut it down to shoulder length. However, his sugar baby was still very beautiful.

Arthur realized, he really realized after seeing Kalea again. He really loved this girl. Stupidly, he only realized when Kalea left and is now close to another man.

“So what do you want to talk about? Don’t waste my time,” Kalea finally broke the silence. She was already uncomfortable with the awkward atmosphere and wanted Arthur out of her way.

“About us,” Arthur replied with a sharp, serious look in his eyes. Kalea could not help but return the stare. Waiting for him to say an additional word. “I want to set the record straight, I want to know why you left so suddenly.”

“The reason I left? The answer is simple. I’m tired of you, I don’t find happiness there, you’ll just make me suffer more and I don’t want that.”

“I-”

“I’ve been saying this from the beginning, Arthur. Don’t you believe me? I don’t need your responsibility, you don’t need to push yourself. Here is Kai, he even kindly wants to take care of me and this baby,” Kalea continued as she held her stomach.

“But I’m the father of that baby! I’m really going to take responsibility, Lea. I’m not like the old Arthur anymore, after you left I really realized everything!” Arthur replied expressing his heart even making Kalea a little surprised. “I know you still love me.”

“Damn it, my feelings are gone because of what you said at the club,” Kalea hissed, looking at Arthur with emotion, even as her tone of voice began to tremble.

Arthur frowned, confused. “Club?”
