When Fate Decided to Play its Part

Chapter 47: Kai's Father

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE;

Kai's Father

--

Althea wondered what is it that she did wrong this day. She wants to know and keeps on visiting her memories and she found that she did nothing bad to get a bad karma.

She was just having a peaceful morning; cooked their breakfast, watered their flowers, opened the shop- so she directly assumed that this day, like the other days, will pass peacefully.

Who could have thought that the woman, who she met just a week ago, the one who shouted to Kai because of a very, very immature reason (she asked him what happened after they got home), told her that she, herself, do not wish for their paths to meet again, will have the guts to appear in front of her doorsteps?

Althea can't help but question the rationality of Sheryl. She also can't help but shake her head because of disappointment.

When they were still highschool, she viewed Sheryl as a righteous, decent woman. After all, she was raised in a wealthy household, where female is raised to be decent for their husband.

Who could have thought that beneath that beautiful clothing she has, hides the skin of her snake. People should really quit judging people from their appearance.

Althea, once again, sighed and her mood dropped drastically. Her eyes constantly wanders towards the corner where Sheryl was standing and 'admiring' the flowers they have.

Sheryl decided to 'postponed' their 'heart-to-heart' talk since it was morning and many people are rushing in to buy. Althea also has to personally attend their contracted buyer so she doesn't have the time to entertain her.

So Sheryl decided give her time.

Does she wants Althea's thanks? Yes.

Does Althea wants to thank her? In her dreams!

Melanie can't bear to see her boss sighing anymore. She can also feel helplessness each time she sighs like she was carrying the whole world on her back. It also dampen her mood and it could ruin the mood of their customers too.

So, she went to rescue her boss and the shop. Or so she thought.

Just before she can drop the flowers she was trimming back to it's vase, someone 'rescued' her boss for her.

"Mom," Kai entered, carrying a phone in his hand. Althea turned to look at him. "It's Charlotte."
