Chapter 159 - Evil queen dowager (1/2)

Sara finally left in the evening. Leaving Muchen all bored and lonely. He had work to do so Sara had rejected his offer to drop her back home.

He was too used to her presence now. And was beginning to understand the statement 'Marry your friend' He couldn't help but agree with it. Sara was more like a friend to him. He couldn't imagine himself getting married to a stiff boring girl or someone he couldn't be free with. Sara, was born for him.

But, he had a bigger problem— His grandmother. He thought of ways to handle that woman. To make her know he was an adult who could make decisions for himself. He was never going to let Li Sun win. Else, she would continue dictating their lives for them.

”No appetite?” Heya who had been sitting opposite him asked since Muchen hadn't lifted his spoon ever since he served them both dinner.

”A lot on my mind” He admitted.

”About Grandmother I guess?”

Muchen nodded.

She put down her cutlery and spoke gently to him.

”Bro, grandmother tends to get whatever she wants. Anyhow she wants. Why don't you just go on the date? It's not like you can continue dating her after” She really didn't want to go back home. Neither did she want Sara to be fired. It everything could be settled with Muchen just having a couple of drinks with a lady, then why should he just do it?

He shook his head ”I cannot do that.”

”Because of Sara?” She asked pointedly.

”Even if Sara wasn't involved. I cannot keep taking orders from grandmother like a little boy. If we obey her every time, this is never going to end. Trust me”

Heya sighed deeply and took a sip from the glass of water in front of her. ”What's the deal about Bro Hoy? He likes Sara?” Heya remembered to ask.

”I'm not sure. He won't even dare it.”

”What if he has a crush on her?” Heya asked in full gossip mode.

He shrugged his shoulders and spoke nonchalantly ”It's nothing new. I mean, it's normal for any guy to have a crush on her” He remembered how guys stared at her when they strolled down the street that night. Dexi was also there killing himself. He didn't even want to talk about that idiot, Jinyong.

He smiled proudly since he was the one who had Sara beside him.

Heya giggled. Then, her mood turned sour. ”Just when I was planning to go back to school, Now, I have to be prepared for marriage”

”You don't want to get married?” Muchen asked her.

”Of course not!” Was the answer he expected from her. And it was the same answer she gave. ”I haven't even found myself yet. I'm still trying to understand life. I can't just jump into some kind of marriage”

”Are you sure this doesn't involve that Jin guy?”

”Maybe a part” She blushed. ”But, how could grandmother just ask me to stay away from him? I mean, we talk everyday and he is a nice person. I can tell.”

Muchen sighed deeply. ”I'm not sure he is”

”What do you mean?” Heya asked curiously.

Muchen sat up properly and put down his cutlery. He contemplated telling her something but he decided against it.

”Just be careful”

Heya eyed him suspiciously before nodding.

Then, a naughty smile appeared on her face.

”So how was your time with Sara? Remember you promised to fulfil any wish of mine”
