Chapter 687 - Matchmaker (2/2)
Harris was used to being quiet and Della seemed to erase her presence there.
Nadine and Tara were seen chatting excitedly, as were Nico and Raka. Even though Raka was a calm man, he could also go crazy when he was with Nico.
Della could see a new side of Raka when he was with Nico. So far, Raka had always been serious and strict with her. But when he was with Nico, Raka looked much more childish, like boys in general.
The drizzle made the terrace floor a little slippery.
Unintentionally, Nico nudged Della and made her fall. Della fell near the chair so that her head hit the end of the chair quite hard.
Raka immediately got up and approached her. He helped her to stand up from the floor and then patted the dirty part of her skirt. ”Do you feel hurt anywhere? Are you okay?”
Della blinked her eyes repeatedly, trying to endure the pain in her head. But in the end, she could only lower her head and rest her head on Raka's shoulder without saying anything.
”Looks like the impact was quite hard,” Anya looked at Nico.
”Are you alright? Sorry I didn't mean it,” Nico was really worried. At first, he didn't like Della. But he would never intentionally harm a woman like this.
”I'm fine,” Della smiled forcefully. With Raka's help, she returned to the living room.
When he saw the two men leave, Nico whispered to Tara, ”Did you see Della leaning her head on Raka's shoulder? Raka didn't reject her.”
”Do you want to be a matchmaker now?”
Nadine invited Harris to go inside with her and see Della's condition. Currently, Hana was helping her to clean the wound on her head.
Luckily, it was only a small scratch and didn't bleed. However, her head might be a little swollen from the impact.
”Della, are you okay?” As a future sister-in-law, Nadine tried to pay attention to Della and make her comfortable in this house. ”I'll beat up my brother later. How could he hurt a girl!”
Della laughed at Nadine, ”I'm fine.”
”You can't be careless. What if you have a scar on your face?” Hana put a cold towel on Nadine's head to reduce the swelling.
Seeing the heavy rain outside, Raka realized that they had to go home immediately, ”We have to go home. If the rain continues like this, we could be trapped here later,”
”Don't come home now. The rain is very heavy and it is flooded outside. You better stay at my house tonight,” said Nico.
”But…”
”It's dangerous to drive when it rains. After all, your car can't cross the flood, right?” Nico continued to urge Raka and force him.
”Della, if you are embarrassed to stay at my brother's house, how about staying with us? Your brother and I will always welcome you,” Nadine immediately nudged Harris.
Harris just nodded. It was the most polite answer he could give.
Even though he knew that Della was his younger sister, he had absolutely no feelings for her nor his father.
Della looked confused.
One hand she didn't want to stay in Nico's place. But on the other hand, living with her brother whom she didn't know would also feel awkward.
Then, who should she choose?
”Ah? I…” Della didn't know what to do.
”Let her stay at Nico's house with me,” Raka finally decided. There was no way he could part with Della, not after he took her to this place today.
Della was his subordinate now. So she had to follow him wherever he went.
