185 The life She’s Always Wanted

Dariel really got revenge for what Dante did to Zeline the other day. He searched deeply for information about the man despite several obstacles because Dante was very secretive about his identity. However, after Zeline escaped, it certainly made Dante angry at several of his subordinates including Ray.

Dariel knew that everything that happened was a bit of a mistake from what Zeline had done. However. the girl should not have been tortured to this extent, right? Especially with the information that Dariel has obtained if Dante has many other sugar babies not only Zeline.

The corners of Dariel’s lips lifted, a frivolous smile gracing the handsome face. His eyes continued to focus on reading the information he had collected over the past two weeks with the help of his acquaintances who were experts in hacking data. Dariel completely rejected Arthur’s help because what Zeline said was true. The man was better off continuing to look for Kalea’s whereabouts, whom they had not been able to find until now.

“It turns out that without his wife’s family, Dante is just a poor man who only relies on looks,” Dariel muttered, not stopping to smile lightly. “His only strengths are his face and being good at cheat on his wife. His wife is also stupid for trusting this man too much,” he continued to berate the family that looked happy but was actually being ruined by the head of the family.

Dariel began sending all the evidence he had to the family company email from Dante’s wife. Let everyone who holds the email know Dante’s rotten deeds. And according to the request of Zeline, who did not want to deal with her ex sugar daddy anymore, Dariel did not include evidence about Zeline in it at all. There are about six sugar babies who are still actively in contact with Dante, and all of them are what Dariel reports.

“Liam, I’m going to send evidence of your boss’s infidelity right now. So please let me know the situation there later,” Dariel said to someone on the other side of the phone. Dariel was indeed working with one of the employees at the family company of Elena Wright, Dante’s wife. It was a coincidence that their trusted employee turned out to have disliked Dante for a long time and felt something was wrong.

[Yes, Mr. Mckenzie.]

“I’m looking forward to Dante being a poor man in his rags again,” Dariel said as he hit the send button on the email website. And with that, the call ended. A knock on the door of Dariel’s office by a patient left him to refocus on his work.

“Hi, Dear. Please come in. What can I do for you?”

Kalea was getting more and more used to living in the village with Kai and the others. Her job at the tavern also made her closer to the villagers. Gradually, the brunette girl became one of them.

“Lea, you can go home now. It’s all done anyway,” Robby said after cleaning up the tables and chairs. Meanwhile, Kalea was more focused in the kitchen. “Kai is also waiting for you outside.”

“Ah, okay. Thank you for today,” Kalea replied as she smiled sweetly and excused herself to go home. Today, she was the one who went home later than the other workers. Kalea immediately rushed out, her sweet smile not fading when she saw Kai who always picked her up every day.

“Hi, are you done?”

Kalea approached Kai and nodded. “Have you been waiting long?”

“Not at all, I was happy to wait for you anyway. I was talking to the kids,” Kai replied as always bright and cheerful, as if the sun had never left him. They started walking towards home.

“So where are the kids?” Kalea asked.

“Back home, of course,” Kai replied, laughing softly. Kalea also laughed, even though there was nothing funny but Kalea always responded to whatever he said very well. Maybe it was the first time they met, Kalea seemed cold and very wary. However, as time went by, Kai knew that this girl was very warm and worth loving.

Kalea’s brunette hair was getting longer and more beautiful. Kai was always stunned by Kalea’s beauty, no, from the moment they met, Kalea was absolutely mesmerizing in his eyes. The love that grew in his heart blossomed even more making it difficult for him to hold back.

“Lea, don’t you intend to untie your hair?” Kai asked making Kalea who was walking in front of him stop and then turn back.

“Eh? Why?”

“Your hair is getting longer, huh? It’s so pretty,” Kai praised, unable to stop himself from saying the words he had been wanting to say.

“Uh, really? Should I cut it?” Kalea asked as she held her hair, it seemed that what Kai said was true. She did not even care much about her appearance anymore after being in the village.

“No!”

Kalea was a little surprised by Kai’s overly spontaneous response. The man also became clumsy.

“Um, I mean, it’s up to you. If you feel that your long hair is getting in the way of your activities, you can cut it,” Kai continued to explain as he stroked the back of his neck, feeling embarrassed.

Kalea smiled faintly, looking at Kai who was blushing with the street lights illuminating the man’s face somehow looked attractive in her eyes. “Do you like my long hair?”

“Yes! I like you!”

“...eh?”

“No, I mean- yes, I like your long hair. But I also like it when you have short hair,” Kai replied with a blush on his cheeks, his embarrassment growing as he suddenly expressed his feelings indirectly.

Kalea could not help the tingling feeling in her stomach, a soft laugh was heard from the girl. “Okay, okay. I’ll think about what to do with my hair. But if I want to cut it, can you take me where to get a haircut?”

“Hm? I can do that.”

Both of Kalea’s eyebrows rose. “You? Really?”

“Yes, I cut my own hair and Ilene’s,” Kai replied steadily, feeling proud of himself.

“Alright, I’ll ask you if I want to cut it.”

“Okay, leave it to me!”

Once home, Kalea was greeted with a delicious dinner made by Kai. Kai’s cooking was unquestionable, especially since the ingredients were from the man’s hard work. Kalea smiled, and sat on a chair, eager to eat the food on the table.

“Has Ilene already eaten?” Kalea asked.

“I did, I went to her room and talked to her,” Kai replied as he sat in front of Kalea, joining her. “Looks like she’s already asleep.”

Kalea just nodded her head in understanding, and after saying a prayer, she began to eat the food one by one. However, suddenly her stomach seemed to be kicked from the inside, making Kalea spontaneously stop eating.

“Hey, are you okay?” Kai asked worriedly.

Kalea grimaced and then shook her head, indicating that she was fine. The girl finished eating quickly and excused herself to go to her room first. There was a sense of excitement mixed with fear as her pregnancy was getting longer and her stomach was getting bigger. She was quite worried because it had been quite a while since she had checked her pregnancy with a midwife, as a result, Kalea has no idea how the baby in her stomach is growing.

Kalea looked at her body in the mirror, everyday she wore super big clothes so that no one would notice her pregnancy. And luckily, she was the type of woman who did not have a big belly during pregnancy. Still, week after week, Kalea found it harder and harder to hide it.

“My baby kicking again,” Kalea chirped looking at her belly, the active baby made Kalea could not help but smile. She stroked the belly gently and lovingly as if she was actually touching the baby. “Stay healthy, Honey. I won’t hide you anymore soon.”

The beautiful smile slowly became sad. She really did not expect to be gone from Arthur’s life.. The news of that man, the news of Zeline, and the few people who were still close to her, somehow occasionally made Kalea miss and feel guilty, especially for Zeline. How was Zeline now? Can she follow the lectures properly? Then have Dariel’s feelings of love been accepted by Zeline? Kalea really missed that fierce girl.

Their lives were different now. Kalea was already comfortable in the village, she even hesitated to continue her college studies next year, not to mention that the fees for college would not be enough if from her job as a worker in the small tavern.

“This is the life I’ve been looking forward to,” Kalea muttered as she walked to the bed, lay down and looked up at the ceiling.

Honestly, Kalea felt grateful that after deciding to leave Arthur, her life was completely calm without any problems that made her completely lost in thought. All of her emotions, energy, mentality, seemed to be drained when she was with him, even though her happiness was still there. No matter what, Arthur was the man she had once loved. Her second love after her father, and both men had successfully broken her heart.

The door to the room was knocked on from outside, making Kalea get up from her bed and walk over to the door. She opened the door, there was Kai with a worried look on his face like at the dinner table.

“What’s wrong, Kai?” Kalea asked.

“I’m still worried about you. Are you really okay?”

Kalea nodded and smiled slightly, Kai was truly a warm and caring man. He always took care of her, making Kalea feel more comfortable in the village. “I’m fine, Kai. Don’t worry.”

“Um, by the way, can you go out with me? I want to take you somewhere,” Kai’s invitation seemed shy, Kalea could see the blush on his cheeks even though it was faint.

“What is that place?”

“You’ll see, it’s very beautiful.”
