Chapter 199 - KYLE MEETS KATH'S FAMILY I
Cayenne laid on the bed with her stomach and Stefan was doing the same. "You said that you weren't close with your family but why were they letting you manage the company when they can still do it?" Cayenne asked this question that's been bothering her since yesterday. Based on what she observed, if the grandfather dies, that's when the will and testament will be read. And in most cases, it's the son or daughter who will receive it. In their case, everything was given to Stefan with no single cent or property for his father, Magnus. It was a good thing that Stefan was still generous, letting his father stay in a mansion which was supposedly his.
Stefan just smiled at her upon hearing this question. Few seconds had passed before he finally replied to her. "I have confirmed that the will and testament was made since I was young which means, they already knew that Alexander didn't come from our bloodline."
"If they knew, why did they ignore you?"
"I don't know and I don't really care that much. If they're letting me take over the place because of some trap, I will not hesitate to destroy everything that they have accumulated all these years. If they didn't mean any harm then, I'll gladly take it. In my opinion, their wealth isn't enough to repay the life of my mother but it's better than nothing, right?"
"You have a point." Cayenne agreed to him. She couldn't understand the drama of the riches but she cared about his safety. "Just make sure to be careful always. You almost die last time because of some evil people. I don't want it to happen again."
"Hn. I'll take care of myself when I'm out." Stefan responded with another smile. "By the way, I have asked you this question but I am not sure if you still remember, what's your plan for mom's birthday?" Last time, he called her auntie, this time, he already changed it to mom.
Cayenne didn't comment on the way he called Emerald, it's a natural thing to do, given that they're already married. She just answered his question. "My mother didn't really like grand occasions. She likes to spend her birthday with family and friends."
"Then, how about we go for a family outing. We can invite some close friends, too."
"I don't mind. We can just have a normal outing like what other families do. We can go to the beach but we will not go to your resort. People will certainly recognize us."
"You can choose whichever place you want to go. Just tell me where you want it held so that I can ask some of the organizers to decorate a little for your mom's surprise."
"Sure. I'll ask Luiz and Kyle about it."
They talked a lot during their relaxation time and they just thought of random things to talk about.
Meanwhile…
"Am I presentable already?" Kyle asked his girlfriend. "I don't want you to feel embarrassed when you show me to your family. I want to look good beside you."
"You're good enough. Just trust me." Kath told him to let him have a little courage to face her family. "You've got my back and I assure you, my parents won't dislike you."
It was true, her parents didn't hate him but her brothers were looking at him from head to toe. "You didn't tell me you have brothers." Kyle whispered anxiously the moment he stepped inside her territory.
"Sorry. I forgot to tell you about them. I was so focused with my parents." Kath whispered back with faint laughter in her voice. "Don't worry, they're good people." Kath coughed drily to get their attention. "Everyone, this is my boyfriend. His name is Kyle Ardolf." She turned to Kyle and introduced her family. "These are my parents, Sofia and Jude. These are my brothers; Kai, Kevin and Kerwin." She introduced her brothers from eldest to the youngest.
"Good afternoon." Kyle bowed her head to them and presented his little gift. "I'm here to formally introduce myself as Kath's boyfriend."
"Why do you like my sister?" Kai asked him directly before Kyle could stand up straight. "She's stupid and careless. Why do you like her?"
"Ahh?" Kyle didn't know whether to cry or laugh at these remarks. Kath on the other hand was fuming in annoyance. "It's true that she's careless. She often stumbles on a plane ground, forget her things, make careless remarks and often sleeps during class.? But I make up for what she lacks. I hold her before she hits the ground and bleed. I keep her things for her. I explain to others what her honest thoughts mean and I keep notes for her when she's sleeping in class. However, I disagree with the word stupid. My girlfriend isn't stupid. She just couldn't keep up with the genius people but she can certainly understand things. As for why I like her, I have no idea. I just want to protect her, be there for her when she needs me and make her smile when she's sad."
"You are quite eloquent. You're smart and handsome. You look like you're from a well-known family. Why would you stick with this dumb sister of ours?"
Kyle was dumbstruck once again. 'Did I exaggerate my attire, making them think I'm rich? What to do?' Kath looked at him and found him struggling for explanation.
"Bro, do you have to judge him by his looks? Kyle didn't come from a well-known family." Kath commented. "Also, do you have to call me dumb? I'm not stupid or dumb, alright?"
"Then, why do you like him?" Kai asked his sister. "He's not from a well-known family. He's not a perfect match for you." Kai added.
Kyle felt belittled when he heard these words but he didn't say anything because what Kai said was true. He thought that Kath came from an average family and was a sole child. He had no idea that they're very rich and she has three elder brothers.
