199 Both are Serious

“You let that handsome man get back to Lea?” Owen asked, occasionally turning his head to look at Arthur and Kalea from a distance. Then he checked how his little friend’s condition was when he knew Kai’s struggle for love would definitely not be smooth because of the arrival of that person. Kai seemed to stay focused by carrying one sack after another of cocoa pods and would collect them all when they were finished. “Kai, don’t pretend not to hear,” Owen called again.

Kai sighed and patted his palms to keep them from getting too dirty. “There’s no choice as long as Lea accepts him again. I’m still a stranger among them here anyway,” Kai replied, his emerald eyes looking at Arthur who was crouching under Kalea and stroking the girl’s stomach. “Ah, no. Lea said I was an important person in her life.”

Owen raised one eyebrow. “Huh? Did she seriously say something like that?”

“Why would I lie? Well, even though she hasn’t really reciprocated my feelings. Haha, especially now that there’s that man.” With a flash Kai’s enthusiasm waned. Honestly, he also felt inferior because it was certain that Arthur had been together with Kalea for a long time.Especially with the fact that Kalea is carrying the child of the handsome charismatic man. Kai turned to Owen when his best friend tapped him on the shoulder.

“Cheer up, you can’t give up that easily, right? Lea hates that guy, you have a chance to get in.”

“But do you think I’ll look bad?”

“A little sheep like you can’t be evil. Even seeing a dead cat makes you cry.”

“Isn’t that human?! I’m not small anyway. Look, I’m taller than you,” Kai said without feeling guilty saying it especially with the hand gesture comparing their height.

The corner of Owen’s lips twitched, annoyed. “Fuck, you and I are only 5 cm apart.”

.....

“Still. Then I have to go back to them, Mr. Jefferson has to go back to help. I won’t let him take the opportunity to be alone with Lea.,” Kai said as he adjusted the position of his hat.

“Ohoo, it turns out you really intend to make that man keep his distance from Lea, huh. You’re sneaky too,” Owen commented as he shook his head in amazement.

Kai just smiled meaningfully, he patted Owen’s shoulder lightly, then said, “You just continue your work. I’ll pick the fruit over there.”

“Yes, leave it to me.”

On the other hand, Kalea already knew that Arthur was still stroking her belly for more than five minutes. However, somehow the baby became calmer, no longer kicking. Moreover, Arthur was singing a slow, soothing song. Kalea wrung her hands, annoyed. Why did Arthur only do something like this when she had already decided to leave Arthur’s life? Why did he keep playing with her feelings? Who would believe that Arthur really loved her now?

Arthur’s hand stopped stroking Kalea’s stomach, now looking up into Kalea’s hazel eyes. Suddenly his heart ached, remembering how he could hurt a beautiful woman and always act strong in front of anyone. Even though he had promised not to leave Kalea, from the problems that always confronted the girl. Why was he adding salt to Kalea’s wounds? Arthur realized that he was really stupid and selfish.

Kalea, who felt uncomfortable being stared at like that, had a resentful expression. “What? Stop looking at me and get away for me, your time is up,” she said sarcastically. At the same time, Kai approached them.

“Mr. Jeffeson, are you still here? Didn’t I tell you to get back to picking cocoa?” Kai scolded.

Arthur turned to the scarlet man with an exasperated expression. However, if he showed his displeasure too much and even engaged Kai in a fight, he was afraid that Kalea would hate him even more and kick him out. “I’ll do it again,” Arthur replied with a slight snort. Then he looked back at Kalea and gave her smile. “Lea, if our baby kicks you in the stomach again, let me know. I’ll calm our baby down, because I’m the father,” he said with emphasis as if he wanted to tell Kai that his position was still high in Kalea’s life and would never be replaced.

“This is my baby, and I can calm them down myself,” Kalea retorted still cold.

“Come on, later if you want to win Lea’s heart,” Kai said as he gently pushed Arthur’s back to walk. Arthur was visibly upset, unwilling to get close to the man who was his rival.

“You must be holding back laughter, right? Don’t think you can get Lea’s heart,” Arthur retorted making Kai blink, indeed this man is good at making innocent faces.

Kai smiled bitterly, he basically did not want to fight with anyone. “I’m not like that, Mr. Jefferson. You’re too prejudiced against me.”

“Why are you guys fighting? Arthur, why do you keep getting upset with Kai? If you’re not willing to help, it’s better to get out of here,” Kalea said who was already annoyed to see the two men continuing to argue.

Kai was surprised when Arthur put his arm around his shoulder like a close friend. Arthur’s annoyed expression now turned into the sweetest smile he had. “I’m willing to help, Lea. Then I must continue my work. Come on, Kai,” Arthur invited Kai to follow him away from the brunette girl.

“Mr. Jefferson, how long are you going to put your arm around my shoulder?” asked an overly obedient Kai who followed Arthur until they were far enough out of Kalea’s sight.

Arthur immediately let go, his annoyed expression returning. It seemed like he would continue to hold his dislike for Kai in front of Kalea. “Hey, what exactly do you want with Kalea? Don’t play with her.”

“Weren’t you the one who played with her feelings? From the start, I never thought that way at all. I sincerely love her,” Kai replied seriously, making Arthur silent for a long time. Kai’s footsteps took one step forward, now he was right in front of Arthur who was almost the same height as him. “Mr. Jefferson, if you’re really serious about Kalea, I will gracefully accept whoever Kalea chooses. But if you hurt her again, I can’t allow it.”

Arthur’s eyes rounded, he did not expect the emerald eyes that had been looking stupid in his eyes to be so different now. As if to show that Kai really meant what he said.
