179 Calming The Little Girl

Lately, Arthur has been living in the penthouse he gave to Kalea. It was empty and cold, no longer his sugar baby to greet him. Arthur walked in with unsteady footsteps. Kalea’s departure had really taken him by surprise. Arthur did not even think it would come to this, the mood that could not get better, the face of Kalea that kept popping up, and his feelings that were all over the place. Arthur really did not understand himself.

Plus, Arthur had not been fooling around with any women at all, all contacts related to the many women he had been making out with were deleted, his mind was constantly on Kalea.

Dariel’s words the other day really made him think carefully. Did he really have feelings for Kalea? He kept talking to himself about his true feelings.

Arthur looked at the penguin doll on the bed without moving an inch. He grabbed the doll and hugged it. Inhaling Kalea’s scent that was getting lost there.

“I miss you.”

Dariel came to Zeline’s house after the blonde girl kept complaining and swearing at Arthur for making Kalea leave. Zeline had not even gone to class for the past few days and had her two younger siblings worried.

“Ah, Mr. Mckenzie!” Zoey exclaimed after opening the door to find Dariel there. She invited Dariel in.

“Long time no see, how are you?” Dariel replied with the friendly smile that always graced his face.

“Me and Zac are fine, but sister ... she keeps shutting herself in her room,” Zoey replied, her face full of sadness and worry. Not long after, Zac came out of the bathroom and approached Dariel and Zoey. He greeted Dariel politely.

“Um, can you check on our sister? She doesn’t want to leave the room at all,” Zac added. Dariel nodded, he patted the top of the twin siblings head and then asked permission to see Zeline.

Dariel knocked on Zeline’s door, but there was no response from inside.

“Zeline, it’s me, Dariel. Can I come in?” Dariel called once again. Shortly after, there was the sound of a key trying to be unlocked and the door slowly opened. Dariel smiled slightly and entered the blonde girl’s room.

The room was completely dark, with no sunlight coming in at all. It was quite messy, with food waste lying on the floor. Meanwhile, the owner of the room lay back on the bed, covered all over her body.

Dariel walked over to Zeline, he sat down next to the girl. “Zeline, I know you are sad, angry, disappointed, but don’t torture yourself like this,” Dariel said quietly and tried not to ignite Zeline’s emotions.

Zeline did not budge, remaining like a snail hiding in a shell. Dariel was saddened that Zeline must have considered Kalea a friend and was disappointed that the brunette girl had not said anything to Zeline about the escape.

“Zeline ... come out, you can’t breathe properly if you continue like this,” Dariel was still trying to persuade Zeline, he also slightly opened the girl’s blanket even though Zeline held it firmly. “Zeline, your two younger siblings are very worried. You’re also eating irregularly, right? Let’s eat first.”

“I don’t want to,” Zeline replied with a hoarse and heavy voice.

“Don’t you love Zoey and Zac? Don’t hurt yourself like this, Zeline.”

Dariel was a little surprised when Zeline came out of the blanket with a tearful face. Her swollen eyes and nose, messy blonde hair, Zeline’s state was truly alarming.

“Tell your friend to stop acting like a jerk! My friend, my friend is leaving because of that!” Zeline ranted, hitting Dariel in an indeterminate direction but overwhelming the man.

“Zeline, calm down.”

“Why can’t he find Lea! What if Lea was kidnapped and her organs sold on the black market? It’s all Arthur’s fault!” Zeline ranted incessantly, venting all her emotions at Dariel. The clear water that came out of her eyes flowed again, the trembling tone of her voice made Dariel feel pain.

In fact, this is the first time Dariel has seen Zeline like this. The woman he loved was always strong and took everything lightly, but now? Since her only friend disappeared, Dariel did not expect Zeline to be this frustrated.

Dariel took Zeline into his arms, holding Zeline back from rebelling and slowly Zeline stopped hitting. The girl’s cries were still audible and increasingly heartbreaking. Zeline hugged Dariel back tightly and said, “This is also my fault. Had I not told her about this kind of job, had I said there was no job for her, none of this would have happened. Her academic problems, her being bullied by Angela, getting pregnant, and now leaving is all because of me, Dariel.”

“No, it’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself, Zeline,” Dariel replied as he gently stroked Zeline’s back. “It was all part of the risk when she accepted the contract with Arthur. Kalea is an adult, she can make her own decisions.”

“But if I-”

“You didn’t force her to accept the job at all, did you? Lea accepted it consciously,” Dariel cut in as he released the hug. Staring intently at Zeline’s still beautiful face, he rubbed the corners of the girl’s eyes. “We can’t do anything else, everything has already happened. Basically, their relationship should not involve feelings. But humans don’t know where their hearts will be, right? This has become Lea’s consequence,” Dariel continued.

Zeline bit her lower lip, her eyes already glazed over again. She nodded slowly and hugged Dariel again.

“Everything will be fine. Lea’s a strong girl, isn’t she? I’m sure Arthur can find her. If you want to know, Arthur is also really frustrated that Lea left.” Dariel continued to soothe Zeline, stroking Zeline’s blonde hair and occasionally kissing her.

Zeline enjoyed Dariel’s gentle treatment, she was comfortable in the man’s arms. Her crying slowly stopped. Until where Zeline’s face turned red with embarrassment because there was a loud stomach sound and it turned out to be her stomach.

Dariel chuckled softly. “Are you hungry? I’ll get some food for you. Zoey and Zac have prepared it from earlier,” Dariel said as he released the hug and got off the bed. While Zeline did not respond, she turned her back to Dariel because of the embarrassment that had not disappeared.

Not long after that, Dariel returned while bringing food for Zeline. He even happily fed Zeline, taking care of her with affection. Zeline also enjoyed it because Dariel really treated her well.

“You’re not working?” Zeline asked a little unclear because of the mouth that was still full of food.

“My shift schedule is tonight,” Dariel replied casually.

“Why are you even here? You should be resting!”

Dariel smiled slightly, he brushed the corner of Zeline’s slightly messy lips. “Don’t think about me. I can rest whenever I want.”

“Tsk, how can you do that! You just rest here. Sleep in my room,” Zeline half-nagged.

“Really? I can sleep with you?”

“As if we never did. Just sleep, instead of you having to go back and forth,” Zeline snorted.

Dariel chuckled softly, holding back his happiness that was overflowing because of Zeline. “I gladly accept her offer.”

After eating, Zeline told Dariel to rest. It did not take long for the man to drift off to dreamland. On the other hand, Zeline was more absorbed in watching Dariel’s exhausted face. Her hand gently stroked Dariel’s ash green hair.

Seeing what happened to Arthur and Kalea, her friend who suddenly left Arthur, and Arthur who was stressed out because of it made Zeline think about her situation with Dariel.

Would Dariel be like that too? Will Dariel give up and leave if she continues to reject the man’s love?

Zeline shook her head, she did not want that to happen to her too. It seemed like she had to talk about the relationship between the two of them as soon as possible.

Dariel’s cell phone chimed, Zeline grabbed the phone for fear that it was something important. Her forehead wrinkled when she read the name of the contact on the screen.

Angela? Are they still in touch?
