New Life : A Second Chance

Chapter 817 - Time to Move Out

[Wait. What? Sayuri? How is that possible? Wasn't she on the pill?]

Kay had thought it was some other woman that Kyle had i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.ed since he seemed to have broken up with Sayuri when he got back - or rather, that their bed-partnership agreement was over.

After all, they had never been together since then. She never asked him as she felt that was too personal a matter.

She didn't want to know about him sleeping around anyway.

Thus, since she knew about him wanting a bed partner - and at the rate he had been at it with Sayuri - Kay merely assumed he had gotten a new partner. She didn't believe he could abstain for so long after having taken a huge bite of the apple - and be caught up in some scandal when one of them somehow managed to cheat her brother and got pregnant to bind him.

But it wasn't an unknown.

It was Sayuri?!

A huge grin blossomed on Kay's face.

Perfect.

Quickly freshening herself up, Kay got out and gave Lance a nudge but he was dead to the world. She sighed and stroked the top of his head. Before leaving, Kay left a message for him and hoped that he will be okay after this.

Once the door clicked shut, Lance opened his eyes and rubbed his face. He had been awake since Kay went into the bathroom but he couldn't face her yet. He remembered just how much he had let go last night and he was utterly embarrassed.

Rubbing the back of his neck and getting up from the bed, he smiled a bit seeing her note.

It really was a pity he couldn't fall for Kay. It certainly would have solved all his love problems? No more pining over someone that he couldn't get.

That holiday away really looked very tempting right now.

The first thing Kay did upon leaving was to go home, take a shower and change her clothes Luckily, no one was around to see her in that disheveled state, then she rushed immediately to Smith Industries HQ.

Sayuri was still around so she had to visit, right?

Being pregnant at such a young age would surely be daunting - what more when the father of the baby was rather obtuse. Kay made a solemn promise to herself that she would be the best and most supportive sister-in-law *ever*.

Sayuri needed that.

Despite her being extremely excited, Kay still maintained some poise as she walked through the Smith HQ doors then headed to the VIP lift. Once it opened up on the floor, though, she sprang out.

Without even knocking or checking with Beatrice, Kay ran straight through and flung the door open. As she burst into the room, she was gasping, a little bit out of breath as she had made that sprint.

Damn, she was so unfit.

Perhaps she should actually workout to Joseph's exercise dance routine? Kay was momentarily distracted at that thought, as the idea made her a little bit excited. Initially, all she did was watch the video's for fun (and admittedly, to stalk harmlessly) but if she actually followed the routines, it would make the connection more fun, right?

Kay's eyes darted inside to look for Sayuri, and found that she was sitting on the sofa.

Perhaps it was her imagination, but she could swear there was this angelic halo above Sayuri's head. She glowed, like some sort of angel as she sat lay there comfortably, leaning on a fluffed up pillow and a blanket over her knees.

Kyle didn't even bring his head up upon her dramatic entrance and Kay glared at him, feeling annoyed at her brother that was ignoring the mother of his baby on the sofa. After berating him for leaving Sayuri alone, Kay went over to gush over Sayuri, ignoring whatever it as that Kyle was telling her.

All she could see at that moment, was this beautiful woman carrying her brother's child inside of her.

Perhaps it was a twin thing that she had with Kyle, but she felt very excited at the thought of her becoming an Aunt. It was beyond the normal 'I am going to be an Aunt' thing but more like, 'My brother is going to be a father'.

Kay started feeling all protective over Sayuri and cursed her brother again in her mind. He has this gem in front of him and he was going to lose her if he continued to be so dense about his feelings.

"I'm gonna be an Auntie!" Kay giggled as she sat down on the floor next to Sayuri, feeling so awed.

Seeing Sayuri blush a bit at her words, Kay felt even more protective over this delicate woman. Though she knew Sayuri was far from 'delicate' but it's just the image! A pregnant woman!

Kay couldn't help herself and started patting Sayuri's head, feeling like she got herself a pet to take care of. Sayuri didn't protest and let her do so, upon which Kay felt grateful for.

Sitting down on the floor and leaning against the sofa near Sayuri, Kay asked her brother, "So when are you going to tell Mum and Dad?"

She saw with satisfaction as he actually grimaced, and he scratched his head in agitation.

Kay laughed under her breath at his uncomfortable look while Sayuri scoffed behind her.

"I told my Grandfather and Uncle," Sayuri said, "You're on your own with this one. Just remember, we are NOT getting married."

"I know, I know," mumbled Kyle.

Kay's heart went towards her brother at that. She knew how much he wanted to take responsibility and marry Sayuri but Kay understood Sayuri's stance. She turned to Sayuri, observing her and marveled at how strong she was.

Could she be as strong?

She hoped so.

Kay's eyes went towards Sayuri's stomach and she could imagine seeing the fetus that was growing there. She loved her brother a lot, and seeing this woman doing this for him … carrying the baby to term when he couldn't commit his heart to her …

Kay felt like crying.

She was so overwhelmed with gratitude towards Sayuri that she couldn't help herself but hug her, while whispering her thanks. She noted Sayuri was surprised at that, and told her that she would always be there for her.

Even if it meant going against what Kyle wanted.

She stayed for a little while longer, watching them as they talked and decided on a place to stay. She truly couldn't imagine why her brother could not see how much care he was putting towards Sayuri.

If she brought it up, he would most likely brush it aside as him being the gentleman that he is. However, he doesn't see what she sees.

How soft his gaze is when he looks at Sayuri. How gentle his touch is. How kind his words are.

All of those screamed 'love' but to him? It was just 'care'.

When Kyle left with Sayuri to go to their new love nest, Kay stayed behind for a little bit longer. She looked at the rest of the files that held all the property that Kyle had and she realised that she never did do these things either.

She leaned back on the sofa, thinking hard upon what Lance had said.

Who is Kayla Smith?

She realised with a start that she never really did anything on her own. Well, other than whatever it was that involved Joseph.

But she needed something else to focus on.

More specifically, to focus on herself.

What did she want? What sort of future was she preparing herself for?

Did she really want to work at Smith Industries with Kyle?

That had been her initial plan - at first, it was to be the force behind him. Then, it changed to be the force beside him. She studied for it, she worked for it and Kyle had even trained her for it because she had shown interest.

He didn't push when she showed she wasn't keen.

So what was it that she really wanted?

She looked around the CEO's office.

The place she had stayed and worked in during the time Kyle had gone to Country M for revenge. She did enjoy the work, but she was still unsure if this was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

Kay sighed and looked out the window, to admire the city skyline.

Going away on a holiday with Lance to 'find herself' had to be put on hold for now. Sayuri was pregnant and Kay wanted to be here, with them, on this journey. This was a huge moment in Kyle's life and she didn't want to miss it.

The get-away will have to wait.

But …

Kay glanced again at the file with Kyle's properties.

Perhaps it was time for her to move out of the Smith Mansion as well.
