Chapter 443 - Catching Up (2/2)
”We never left,” Su answered without looking at him, she was still setting the table.
The shock was evident on his face. Su Ya looked up at him when he didn't reply and smiled.
”We stayed hidden in small towns on the outskirts, but we never left, at least not as a family.”
Edward watched her pick up the bottle of wine
”Champagne for breakfast? Father wants to get you drunk before the party's even begun.”
It was such an innocent, off-hand remark, but Edward couldn't help but find truth in it.
”Anyway,” she continued returning the bottle to the cart, ”Where was I again?”
This was Su Ya, always distracted by the slightest things. Edward could swear she had the shortest memory span in the world, but nonetheless, she was his favourite.
”You were saying you never left as a family?”
”Yeah, Mai and I schooled abroad. Chapa naturally wanted to stay close to my parents so she took online courses.”
Edward listened intently. Su telling him this much could only mean one of two things: she didn't know what her father was up to or this was deliberate. Edward would put his money on the latter.
”So you returned after school?” Didn't sound like the Su Ya he knew.
”Never, I returned a year ago,” she stopped and turned, ”With a baby bump.”
Edward's brows went up. He looked at Su's fingers to check if he'd missed anything from his initial assessment of her.
”A baby bump and no father,” Su said clearing the air.
”Oh. Well, that's something. You must have gotten the old man upset.”
”Understatement of the year. Dad nearly blew off our roof with his curses.”
Edward laughed loudly. Su finally set the last tray on the table and motioned for him to take a seat which he did.
”What did you have?”
She scrunched her brows together, ”A baby.”
Edward rolled his eyes, ”Gender, Su.”
”Oh,” she chuckled, ”A beautiful baby girl. She looks like me.”
”Then I can imagine how beautiful she is.”
Su Ya blushed but quickly covered it by stuffing a shrimp inside her mouth. Edward laughed behind pursed lips then dug into the tray as well.
”So, from what I hear, you're not married either.”
Edward looked up. He shook his head and left it at that. He wasn't married, yet.
”Why? Can't imagine a man like you not having his way with the ladies.”
”Priorities, Su, I'm a busy man.”
Su Ya tsked. It was her turn to roll her eyes, ”Not to busy to take them to bed though.”
Edward raised his brows.
”I heard your scores, Chapa has ears in the national grapevine and your name's a regular.”
”Well, a man has to loosen up somehow.”
”You're a pig,” Su Ya joked.
