Chapter 576: My Woman
"So for you, it\'s better that I just agree with the arranged marriage my father is proposing? Marry your stepbrother and be his wife? Huh?"
"Of course not! What I want is that you be more mature and decide your own path wisely. Enjoy your youth Kenzie. Why are you in a hurry to marry anyone?!"
"I\'m being mature and deciding my own path for goodness sake. I don\'t need to enjoy my youth because being with you is more enjoyable. Yes, I\'m in a hurry to make you fall in love with me because the early bird always catches the worm and I don\'t want any other bird to catch you! I love you so I want you!"
Daryl was speechless hearing Kenzie\'s words and his mouth opened to say something to her, but nothing came out. That was the scene when Kenzie\'s father arrived… But he was not alone. He was with Harry.
"Thank you, attorney Cha. You can leave now and we will take good care of Kenzie from here," Senior Chua commented with an expressionless face, making Daryl uncomfortable.
Daryl looked at Kenzie who lip-synced \'stay with me\'. Then he shifted his gaze to Harry, wondering why the man even bothered to accompany Senior Chua in the hospital.
\'Are you really sincere in dating Kenzie?\' he wanted to ask but could not. He had doubts… He had a strong feeling that Harry and his mother only agreed to this arrangement since it would be beneficial for them. He was afraid that Harry would only use Kenzie as a tool to fulfill his and his mother\'s greed.
Dary sighed and whispered, "I will be back."
Then he looked at Kenzie\'s father and said, "Sir, I will just talk to Harry and be back to take care of Kenzie since this all happened while she was at work. She\'s my responsibility…"
Senior Chua did not comment but looked at Daryl who headed out and stopped by Harry as he said, "Follow me."
Harry looked at Senior Chua and politely said, "I\'ll be back sir. I will just talk to my brother."
Senior Chua simply nodded. When the two men left, he looked at Kenzie with collided eyebrows.
"It\'s an accident dad. I was in a hurry to attend the party and tripped…" Kenzie explained.
"Yeah, and why were you still in the office at that hour Kenzie? I had already informed you about that schedule ahead of time. You would not have had this accident if you just arrived in time at the party!"
Kenzie looked at her father and with teary eyes said, "I\'m sorry dad. This won\'t happen again. I was too occupied in finishing something that I did not notice the time."
Jack heaved a long sigh and murmured, "I really think that being an actress best suits you!"
He looked at Kimmy not far from them and said, "Arrange everything in the hospital for her discharge. I will bring her home."
"Dad no!" Kenzie screamed.
"And why not?" her father grunted with lifted eyebrows.
"I\'m almost there so please don\'t jeopardize this. Let Daryl take care of me dad. Please I beg you…" Kenzie pleaded.
Jack could not believe what he was hearing from his daughter. He knew Kenzie was stubborn but he was not aware that she was this desperate to get Daryl Cha.
"Kenzie! Harry is here! And you\'re telling me to leave you here with Daryl and let Harry witness that? Are you out of your mind?" her father burst.
Kenzie pouted her lips and whispered, "Why did you even bring him in the first place."
Jack heaved a long sigh and said, "I did not bring him okay. He volunteered since he was worried…"
"Worried? Did you honestly believe that? He just met me a while ago…" She countered.
"You\'re so blinded with your infatuation for that Daryl Kenzie and I\'m no longer feeling good for what you\'ve become just because of him. I\'m so disappointed right now Kenzie." Jack could not help but stressed.
"I\'m really sorry dad but please just this once. Let me have this opportunity. Daryl said he will be back and he will take care of me please dad I beg you to agree on it. If you don\'t want Harry to feel embarrassed then you should dismiss him first to accompany you back. Tell him that you will have someone to take care of me like Kimmy. Please, dad?"
Another frustrated sigh came out from Jack before he replied, "Kimmy will really stay with you tonight, and don\'t you dare dismiss her, or I will have you pulled out from Sy law firm no matter what!"
Kenzie gulped as she meekly nodded to her father before her eyes landed on the door. She wondered why Daryl wanted to talk to Harry. She could feel the tension between the two and she was curious to know what really happened between them, more specifically to Daryl and his family.
Meanwhile, in the hallway not far from the emergency room, Daryl, with a serious face, looked at Harry intently and said, "You go back home and I will take care of Kenzie."
"I don\'t think that is right given that I will be Kenzie\'s husband soon," Harry casually commented. This was what Daryl hated the most, Harry acting cool and so calm whenever he was talking with him even if the bastard was mocking him. He would be the one to often lose control and hit Harry in the end, which always made his father scold him.
Daryl gritted his teeth and fisted his palm hard.
"If you don\'t have anything else to say then I should head back. I don\'t want my future wife to have a bad impression of me, so please Daryl mind your own business. Kenzie is a nice woman and I was smitten by her the moment I saw her. In short, I like her physically and I\'m sure emotions will follow eventually.
I don\'t know what\'s your connection with her but I\'m hoping that it\'s simply an employer and employee thing, at least with you."
Harry turned around to walk back where Kenzie was but halted and looked at Dary as he said, "You should return back home. At least visit father once in a while and be a good son to him, Daryl, instead of meddling in businesses that you shouldn\'t meddle."
Harry was about to walk away but Daryl grabbed his wrist tightly and whispered, "You\'re barking at the wrong tree Harry. I let you slide away with the family business but not with Kenzie. Back-off…"
"And why should I? Kenzie is a single woman and her father is in talks with our father and they both want to arrange my marriage with her if things go well between us. What is it to you?" Harry mumbled with lifted eyebrows.
Daryl turned to meet Harry\'s gaze and firmly stated, "I will say it only once so listen carefully. Don\'t meddle in my personal affairs! Kenzie is my woman so back-off!"
Daryl turned around and quickly walked back towards Kenzie with a dark face. He would not let that man have his way with Kenzie. Never...
