Chapter 537: Skip A Beat
At Sy Mansion
The next day everyone was present at the dining table for breakfast. Senior Sy and his wife were the subjects of today's teasing because the couple didn't show up to the garden even after the party ended last night.
"I cannot believe it," Jorge teased.
"What do you think of me? An incapable old man?" Ram questioned his son-in-law with a raised eyebrow making Jorge cough as he felt a sudden lump blocking his throat. Everyone laughed at his reaction.
"You missed Liam announcing a very good news last night," Miley seconded before scooping her soup.
Ram looked at his son and asked, "What is it?"
With a cheeky smile, Liam replied, "You're going to be a grandfather soon…"
"Oh my… That's amazing news!!" Ram burst joyfully and quickly stood up from his chair to hug to congratulate his son Liam and daughter-in-law, Lana. Chelsy too was happy and hugged the couple.
"Congratulations…" Chelsy wished them.
They were in the middle of breakfast when Liam suddenly opened up the topic about their mother.
"Father… One more thing… About what you suggested before… I thought about it and I'm now ready to see her. She's more of our responsibility than Noah so I think it's best if we transfer her to one of the best facilities here to take care of her," Liam said, pertaining to his mother who ended up in a mental hospital in the country C.
Noah was the one taking care of everything pertaining to their mother and he was grateful to Noah and Brione for their good hearts towards what happened. He struggled but then realized he should forgive his mother too when the people whom she hurt equally already forgave her.
Miley sighed… Every one among them was aware of their mother's situation. She actually has mixed emotions about it. A part of her still did not want to see her but a part of her wanted to see her mother…
"That's good son. It would be best if you and Miley finally let go of the hatred towards your mother. No matter what… She is still your mother and you two share the same blood as hers. Without her, you two wouldn't be here beside me… You guys are my priceless treasures…" Ram commented.
Liam looked at Miley and said, "Do you want to come? I will book a flight as early as tomorrow so we can come back here the next day to prepare for our family trip."
Miley exhaled loudly and looked at Jorge who gave her a nod.
"Alright. I will come with you…" Miley answered with a smile.
"Aren't you going to accompany them?" Chelys asked Ram.
"Is it okay if I go?" Ram asked her back and Chelsy reddened with embarrassment as she whispered, "Why are you asking me? You should decide it yourself…"
Ram had a teasing smile and uttered, "But you're my wife now so I want to ask for your permission first…"
Miley and Liam exchanged meaningful glances.
'What's this?!' Miley mused, looking at Liam who seemed to understand her message and answered her with a shrug.
She was not used to seeing her father being so cheesy like this…
"You should go with them…" Chelsy timidly replied.
"You can come with me," Ram suggested, enjoying the bashful look of Chelsy.
*****
At Yu's building where the office of Yao law firm was also located, Kyle heaved a long sigh before entering the building for his new work. Noah and Luo gave him a warm welcome as soon as he arrived at the CEO's office.
"Welcome. We're glad you chose our firm," Luo excitedly said.
She knew Kyle since he became Lana's paralegal. She also knew of his potential as a lawyer and she believed the man would be a good asset for the firm. Once the merger of two law firms had been finalized, it would be something huge not only for their country but worldwide because they would be expanding in every part of the world as one company.
"Thank you for the warm welcome…" Kyle commented with a bright smile.
"Let me show you around," Noah commented. He introduced Kyle to everyone including Sarah.
"You two will be neighbors…" Noah informed.
Sarah only answered with a half-smile before she excused herself to go to Luo and hand the files Luo needed.
Kyle creased his forehead because he felt like Sarah was avoiding him. She did not even bother to look at him but just a quick glance?
'What is wrong with her?' Kyle mused. Soon he settled down in his office. Then he went out to Sarah's office to greet her properly and ask her out for a coffee.
"Hi…" he greeted, walking directly towards Sara's table.
"Don't you know how to knock or buzz?" Sarah mumbled in her sulky mood. It had been days already and yet here she was doing everything on her own without a secretary. Apparently, she was still on maternity leave!
"Are you mad at me?" Kyle asked directly as he sat comfortably on the chair placed near her table.
'Yes! You pervert drunkard!' Sarah wanted to voice out because Kyle did not even remember kissing her that night. He kissed her twice already whenever he was drunk. Well, she initiated the first one according to him but she did not remember at all. But the second time was when she picked him up at the resto-bar.
'You also don't remember the first time so what's with you if he forgot that night?' her inner self scolded and even added, 'You two are even now.'
"Hey, Sarah?" Kyle called, waving his hand on her face.
"What?!" Sarah hissed.
"How Scary!… Is it your bloody moon?" Kyle teased.
"Bloody moon your face! Why are you here? Can't you see that my table is full and I'm busy?!"
"Geez, what a way to welcome me. I'm here to help you out with those files. Luo asked me to help you…"
"Really?!" Sarah said sarcastically, not looking convinced because she was aware that Luo was intentionally giving her a hard time because of what she did to Lana.
"You can ask her…" Kyle plainly replied and grabbed one of the folders on her table.
"It's my first day at work. How about I treat you for a coffee before we start working on this file?" Kyle suggested with a wink.
Sarah gulped, feeling uneasy… Like her heart just skipped a beat because of that wink.
"Damn!" she unconsciously cursed.
"Huh?" Kyle hummed, confused. Sarah only gave him an awkward smile.
