Chapter 179 - Revenge 178: Cystals VS Tigers III (1/2)
”Oh please! Call me aunty.” Mary smiled at Kyle. ”Your mother and I go way back then, there is no need for you to be so formal with me.” Since Alfonso and Mary always got on each others' throat whenever they see each other back in their younger days; during those time, Layla got the chance to meet Mary.
It wasn't a pleasant meeting, but as time goes by, Mary and Layla respect for each grew. Here at the present time, Alfonso and Mary are now close buddies, Mary considers Layla like a sister. Mary will feel uncomfortable if Layla's son speaks so formal towards her.
Hearing that he is able to call Anna's mother 'aunty', Kyle somehow feels good about it. It was like a big step he had taken, but he knew that Mary's cards are not all placed on the table. He still has to keep his guard up.
”Well then, from here on out I will call you aunty.”
While Kyle and Mary are having a pleasant talk, there is a certain someone who is gritting his teeth in secrecy. 'What? You're letting that punk calls you aunty? You're accepting him that easy?'
Arion is expecting that his wife would give Kyle a hard time, but hearing Mary giving Kyle the permission to call her aunty, Arion thinks that Mary is accepting Kyle as her future son-in-law. However, there are still doubts in Arion's heart; a side of him is saying that Mary is only acting and is about to test Kyle.
With that thought in mind, Arion discreetly looks at his wife. When he saw that familiar smile on his wife's face, Arion suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. Now, seeing that smile Arion doesn't know whether to feel bad for Kyle or make fun of Kyle for being so unlucky.
That smile is similar to the smile that Mary's master showed to him a long time ago. He was on the pursuit of having Mary to be his wife back then, and Mary's master gave him quite a hard time to the point that he almost collapsed.
Though Mary and her master are not blood-related, they both are similar to each other. If one did not know the connection between the two, they would think that they are a pair of father and daughter.
In some point, that same man who gave Arion a hard time is like a father to Mary that's why Arion face all the challenge that man gave to him' to prove that he is worthy to be the man standing beside Mary.
The sad part of all that, after Arion got the acknowledgment of that man, he died in the hand of one certain person. Mary's master didn't even have a chance to attend the wedding of his student. It truly broke Mary's heart, but that did not stop Mary to keep on living because that is what her master wants her to do.
Arion is amazed by how strong his wife is, it didn't stop him from falling in love with his wife again and again.
”Now, you and your sister sit to these two chairs in front of me,” Mary said happily as she pointed at the occupied chairs she's talking about.
