Chapter 489 * Next time? *

He wanted to know what David had thought about his suggestion; he

hoped David would allow them to be in Kate's life, even if he wouldn't

allow them to tell Kate that they are her parents.

“Master, let's meet; I have something to talk about,” David directly

proposed.

Mr. Allen was stunned; he knew something big happened; the coldness

in David's voice was heartbreaking for anyone, he knew since he

understands David's nature.

“Okay, when do you want to meet? He was more anxious than David

and wanted to know David's decision.

“Tomorrow, day after tomorrow, I kept a party for Devin, Destiny, and

Daniel; I have sent you the card; I hope you'll come with aunty; Kate

specially invited you two. Also, I have done a DNA test between the two

of you; I'll tell you tomorrow” after David had finished his word, he hung

up without waiting for his master to reply,

His master, who felt happy, but couldn't keep it up for a second, cursed

David, but thinking Kate couldn't bring himself to curse David, he knew

David was Kate's life, more important than theirs.

He wanted to know what was going on. He wished to get a hint from

that devil, but he was the devil; if he acted like an angel suddenly, it

would give one a heart attack.

David worked inside his study; even when he saw it was past

dinnertime, he didn't go out and stayed in the study; he was waiting,

waiting for someone, and he knew someone would likely understand

her mistake.

Downstairs, Kate was repeating looking at the stairs, after a long when

she didn’t see him; she felt a little anxious; she went to the dining table

and sent Aunty Lin to call David for Dinner when she came alone, and

she told her, David said he is busy, couldn't join them for dinner.

After Hearing his so-called excuse, Kate's heart ached; she knew she

was too much. Still, she doesn't know how to say sorry for her

intentional mistake; Rose was not present there, she went to the Jones

mansion for dinner, Liam's grandfather wanted her to meet some

relatives he called at dinner.

Only Nina was present; Noah fell asleep after his early dinner; Nina

looked at Kate with a curious yet amazed expression in her eyes

“sister-in-law, tell me the truth, what have you done today? Nina asked.

Kate's face showed a guilty expression, even she wanted to ask Nina

what she will do if Noah's father suddenly appears before and tries to

take her and Noah, but those words were stuck in her throat, she was

too shocked when she heard about this news,

Now, if she tells Nina with no advanced preemption, most likely Nina

will become unconscious on the spot; she was already squeezing

between cracked bamboo; she doesn't have the guts to take anyone's

tension on her head for now.

“Nothing, I think your brother is jealous because a handsome man tried

to ask me out,” she lied; Kate lied with a straight face but a guilty heart.

Nina looked at her as if she didn't believe her and wanted to ask more,

but Kate didn't give her a chance.

She didn’t even touch the food and walked away; Aunty Lin and Nina

looked at each other “Aunty Lin, I think something happened;

otherwise, my brother is not someone who'll give her cold shoulder,

the two were trying to hide their tension between us, but I don’t know

what,” Nina thought hard, but she was lost in the puzzle.

Aunty Lin gave a grin “don’t worry, I don't think David is angry; I think

Kate has done something but didn’t realize her mistake. He doesn’t

have the heart to scold her like other people; he just wanted her to

realize her own mistake, let them be; she most likely went to find him,

they'll recognize soon.”

Aunty Lin was not an experienced woman, but she knew David. Kate

was his life. How could he say or do something to hurt her? They were

like a rat and a cat, playing hide and seek with each other but refused

to reveal each other.

Nina felt a little better when she heard Aunty Lin's words; she ate her

dinner and went back to her room; Aunty Lin washed the dishes after

dinner and went back to the room,

David prepared a room for her on the first floor because he told her to

stay inside, at night when he needs help when the three little monkeys

rebel together, he won't want to disturb Kate's sleep when the kids

wake up at the same time.

Kate went to their room and walked around; the kids were fast asleep;

unlike other children, Kate and David's children were very disciplined

already; they were early sleepers.

Kate looked at the time; it was already 10 pm, her heart pounded

nonstop in her chest, she felt like crying; he had never ignored her; it

seems she hurt him; she didn’t think twice and ran outside the room to

find him, after all, her man also needs to be coaxed by her.

David, who was impatiently looking at the watch, felt like a child. He

wanted to hug her, coax her, but he didn’t have the heart to scold her,

and that's why he let her come to him.

When he was thinking, he heard light footsteps from outside; a frown

appeared on his face.

“Didn't I warn her not to run around so carelessly, especially when I

was around? She was more disobedient than our children; even three

of them couldn't compare to her,” David thought in his heart.

She twisted the doorknob; he opened a random file from his pc and

typed something seriously; he pretended to look very busy, so she

couldn't blame him.

The door pushed open from outside; David lazily raised his head and

pretended to look at her without any reaction, but for only one second,

and lowered his head and started work again.

Kate looked at him and felt needles stabbed her pitiful heart. He had

seen her open the door, but he didn't even spare a glance at her, but

she said okay and entered into the study room; she closed the door

and stood there.

David, who was not busy at all, felt a soul-piercing stare at him. He

wanted to laugh until he couldn't anymore, but he needed to keep a

serious expression. Kate understood he was not going to call to him,

helplessly, taking a deep breath, she walked closer on small steps.

“Are you busy? She asked in her small voice,

“Hmm,” David just let out a slight sound; Kate walked a little closer and

peeked at his face and then at the laptop; when she saw he was

swamped, she calmed herself, she told herself, it's okay as long as he

doesn't get angry, she already messed up when she scolded him, but

David's following words left her speechless.

“Why are you here? Go back to the room; I might stay here for tonight”

he added fuel to the fire, her face darkened to 100 degrees.

She stood there and bit her lower lips; her eyes were a little teary; she

felt wronged but said nothing. She waited, she thought he would take

the invitation to look at her, but he didn’t.

David was swearing in his heart that he would never act so childishly,

his wife's pitiful sigh was tearing his soul into pieces, Kate walked

closer to him and held his elbow “darling, I'm sorry, next time...” when

she realized what she was about to say, she bit her tongue,

David finally raised his head and looked at him full of warning “next

time? Huh, Mrs. Xiver, you sure are too bold, you don’t know your

mistake, yet dare to say that next time, do you want me to cage you

here? He finally couldn't keep his calm.

Kate lowered her head in guilt, she didn’t dare to say anything at all, but

she knew this was her last chance; after this, if she dared to leave now,

he would be angrier.

“Darling, no more next time,” Kate promised without anything, as long

as he wouldn't be angry with her; she suddenly rubbed her body

against his hand and tried to catch his attention “darling,” she called

softly.

David fisted his other hand; he was losing his self-control with every

passing second; when he was about to give up, Kate became bold, she

turned his swivel chair toward her and jumped on his lap;

She settled herself on his lap and hugged his neck; David barely could

stop himself from smiling.

Kate rubbed her cheek against his, even though his face was like an

adorable kitten who was seeking attention from her owner “darling,

sorry, let's not quarrel with each other,” she said sadly.

David was not a fool to push her out of control; he raised his hand and

hugged her waist but didn’t reply to her words. Then, finally, she could

see his face softened a lot; she gathered all of her courage and opened

her mouth again.

“he was the one who helped us when Alina Martin had drugged you

and trapped us in that party,” she said; David raised his face, he was

stunned, that bastard saved them, why?

“He said I owe him a favor, but never contacted me, but he came back

again when we were away because he wanted to meet me, but he

couldn't find us,

because you're far away from here, now he knows that enemies are

coming for our family, he came here to warn me, but he wants to take

Noah, but I disagreed,” Kate said everything truthfully.

But she continued, “I didn’t agree to meet even though I knew he was

the one who helped us. Of course, I'm not a fool, so I rejected him, but

he knew” she felt a little uneasy.

“What he said? David saw that she stopped, so he asked; he wanted to

know.

“He knew about my relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Allen; he said they're

my parents, and only he has the antidote of the poison in my mother’s

body” tears rolled down from her eyes.

David looked at her full of shock “he knows? Damn bastard,” he cursed

Mike, that sneaky bastard, and his bastard master seems to know more

than he does.
