When Fate Decided to Play its Part

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN;

Party Night

--

"By the way Althea," Melanie said behind her.

"Hmm?" Althea puts back her son's ID on the counter and looked back. "What?"

"Charlotte..." She hesitated. "Is your friend, right?"

Althea laughed and pretended to think while leaning on the counter. "Hmm? Friends?" She turned to Kai and jokingly asked. "Are mommy and Charlotte friends? What do you think Kai?"

Kai also turned to look at her and think, his blue eyes were sinking in depth of the ocean. Then, he said truthfully. "No."

"What?" Althea dragged the question in amusement. "Why do you sa so?"

Kai said with a serious expression. "Charlotte said that you don't have friends. So I think you're not friends with her too."

"..." Both Melanie and Althea stared at him in silence before the former let out a laughter that annoyed the latter.

"What are you laughing at?" Althea yelled at Melanie in annoyance. Melanie just shook her head and didn't say anything about it.

"Ah," Melanie suddenly had a realization which stopped her laughters. "What did she say to you?"

"Oh," Althea stopped as well when she remembered. She was about to bring Kai inside to take a bath. "About that, she asked me to attend a party for them this weekend."

"Asked? Then you're not going?"

Althea shook her head. "I'm still thinking about it."

"Why not?" Asked Melanie. "It's just a party."
