Chapter 586: Need A Push
Days passed by and Sarah tried her best to avoid Kyle without being obvious about it but it was so hard to do it even on weekdays because her family was making the situation worse.
She was supposed to have dinner with her family but imagine her surprise when she saw Kyle there with them because her mother had invited him.
So she ended up sitting in front of Kyle, who actually arrived earlier than her. She thought her mother would give her some time to resolve issues involving Kyle but she was wrong.
She looked at Kyle who was smiling and laughing enthusiastically while talking to her mother. She did not know why he was not coming clean and telling everything to her family. He was actually making things worse, making it look like that they were really an item in front of her family.
Then she noticed how Kyle seemed to long for parental love so maybe that was why he was drawn to her mother and now her father as well seeing how the two seemed to get along well in such a short time. Kyle once told her that he was envious of her for having a complete and wonderful family.
She was in deep thought and was unconsciously staring at Kyle when he turned and looked at her meeting her gaze. Her face blushed for getting caught but she quickly changed her expression and questioned him.
\'How come you never told me you were coming here?\' she relayed her question using her eyes but Kyle only answered her with shrugged shoulders.
"By the way, when will Kenzie\'s trial begin? It was rescheduled right?" Abram asked.
Sarah\'s brows raised as she replied, "Yeah it\'s being held next week, why are you asking?"
"Well, I wanna watch it. Let me cheer for you to make sure you win that case," Abram said before he turned to Kyle who sat beside him and asked, "Bro, will you watch it too?"
"Yeah, I will. I haven\'t seen Sarah in action yet so I certainly won\'t miss it," Kyle sincerely answered.
Sarah pursed her lips and mumbled, "It will be uncomfortable to have a sensational lawyer watching me…"
"So true, so you must do well since your boyfriend is an accomplished lawyer," her mother interrupted, making Sarah twitch her mouth.
Kyle scratched his head and bashfully said, "Sarah is more experienced than me mom. She\'s been in this field way before me so I\'m sure this trial is just a piece of cake for her."
"My son-in-law is so humble but that\'s a good attitude. I will not have to worry about trusting Sarah into your hands," her mother encouraged with a wink.
"Mom stop that!" Sarah scolded but her mother only ignored her and teased her more.
Sarah helplessly looked at her father and said, "Dad, help me… Mom is overdoing it," she begged. Her father chuckled and looked at his wife then said, "That\'s enough dear… Can\'t you see how red Sarah\'s face is due to embarrassment? Let the two talk in private about matters such as that…"
Kyle chuckled while Sarah just pouted her lips. They had a hearty dinner and Sarah could not help but glance at Kyle whenever the latter would be thoughtful to get her everything she wanted to eat. He even peeled the shrimp for her and she did not know whether to give it meaning or not with how he was acting like a perfect boyfriend for real.
\'Look at mom smiling so happy and so inspired. I bet she is just looking for a great opportunity to bring in the word \'marriage\',\' Sarah could not help but muse.
She heaved a long frustrated sigh as her gaze went back to Kyle who was having a good conversation both with her mom and dad. Her eyes went down and landed on his lips as he talked.
\'Those lips…\' she silently whispered, confused. She could still feel those full lips pressed on hers, kissing her like he wanted to devour her.
"Daydreaming at this hour?" she heard Abram whisper in her ear, when he passed by her when he came back from the restroom, followed by a teasing grin and chuckle as he went back on his chair in front of her.
Sarah\'s eyebrows raised as she grunted, "Behave before I expose you to Kenzie…"
Abram quickly sealed his lips and teased, "So cranky."
Abram interrupted the conversation and asked Kyle if he wanted to drink.
"Bro, let\'s get drunk," Abram said with a smile.
"Oh but I have to drive and…" Kyle answered.
"And he always blacks out whenever he is drunk!" Sarah interrupted.
"Woah, the girlfriend sure knows her boyfriend well," Abram teased.
"Oh right, you two can drink since we can just call our family driver to drive us back home while Sarah will drive Kyle back to his apartment…" Mrs. Jung suddenly commented with a naughty lopsided grin.
"We can just ask our other driver to…" Abram was about to offer their other driver when his mother glared at him causing him to glue his lips.
He shook his head, understanding the signal from his mother who was too desperate to marry his sister off before she turned twenty-nine. He suddenly felt lucky that he was born a man as he could enjoy his single life for a few more years since he could bear children even if he was old.
Mrs. Jung ordered more drinks, giving the men no room for rejection except for her husband whom she stopped since he was too old to hold heavy alcoholic drinks. Mrs. Jung did not spare her daughter and ordered drinks for her as well.
After some time, she called for both the drivers and made sure that Sarah and Kyle were in the same car.
Sarah was drunk but not as much as Kyle so she murmured, "Mom why are you pushing me inside this car? I miss sleeping in my old room so let me go with you guys and sleep in the mansion. Kyle is a grown-up man so he can take care of himself."
"No… You said yourself that Kyle tends to blackout when he\'s drunk so make sure he is safe in his bedroom and take care of him."
Sarah did not debate anymore and headed inside the car since she was feeling dizzy.
"Driver, leave Sarah there once you help her bring Kyle into his bedroom. Just pretend to be on the phone and tell her you suddenly have an emergency call," Mrs. Jung instructed before she let the driver go back to the car.
She had that wide smile on her face as she whispered, "Those two need a push to make their relationship progress further… Oh, I can\'t wait to have many grandchildren…"
