Chapter 287 - securing a father was more important. (1/2)
Being a Saturday, Cai was constantly around An Kai. she had even woken up so early and the letter had no problem making her ready for the day. after a quick shower, An Kai stood before the mirror to give himself a quick scan.
Cai stood behind An kai busy observing his face from the mirror where he was attentively studying her facials as he looked at himself too.
”Are you missing mommy? your Grandpa or your aunt?” An kai asked looking at her reflection.
”Aren't you going home to be with us? why are you so smart today?”
”Thank you for your compliment.”
”I am not complimenting you at all! aren't you going to keep what you promised me?” Cai said but her eyes were already filled with tears. this was just not right! Cai walked away in an attempt to hide her tears. she didn't know what to do but all she knew was if this uncle of hers left the house today, her dreams of replacing that father of hers with her uncle was to be abandoned. she walked hastily towards An kai's bathroom.
...
An Kai was putting everything in order so that they could leave but not long after, he heard water thrilling in his shower. he made big strides before opening the bathroom.
Cai had imagined him to get mad. pull her out and then lecture her but instead, An kai covered his face helplessly before moving even closer to her.
Cai had turned on the tap and stood under the showerhead and her beautiful dress was already drenched. her short hair too had decreased in volume but her eyelashes were fluttering under the flowing water.
”We can go swim if that's what you want. the water here is suitable for bathing.” An kai said gently but Cai didn't even look at him. she continued to look blank like a painting. An kai removed the coat he had just put on and stepped under the water too, ” do you feel better now?”
”Aren't you going to that ceremony anymore?” this was her main point. if he cancelled it then everything would be normal again.
”We shall go once you're ready to, I don't want to force you.”
