Chapter 523: Soon To Be Son-In-Law
Chapter 523: Soon To Be Son-In-Law
The next day, Kyle woke up with a splitting headache. He looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar room. He sat on the bed and closed his eyes for a while.
He recalled Sarah was with him and brought him inside her car with the help of a waiter.
"This must be her place," he guessed and chuckled at the thought that this was how Sarah was returning his favor, paying off her so-called debt.
He got down from the bed and walked out of the room. He found Sarah in the dining area, preparing the table.
"I'm sorry I troubled you last night," Kyle commented.
"Nah, it's okay. I did the same to you so we're equal now. Sit down and have breakfast. I made something for your hangover. You drank a lot last night." Sarah commented.
"Yeah…" Kyle murmured, recalling everything. Even if he was drunk, his mind would still be clear and he always remembered everything.
"I guess you're really in a tight spot being Bill Grey's son. I can understand your sentiments about pleasing your father well. I actually wanted to tell you this last night but I was not sure if you would remember it so I thought to let you know when you're sober…" Sarah commented as she sat opposite Kyle.
Kyle smiled and said, "Go on, I'm listening…"
"Hmm, you should first ask yourself why you wanted to become a lawyer… I think that will give you the answers you're looking for and balance everything out. I mean there's nothing wrong in representing your father. You can show him that you are there for him that way but what I'm saying is that…
Hmm, you should not do it using tricks like fabricating evidence or doing things that are against your conscience just to help him out because deep down you know that you will have a guilty conscience that will never let you be at peace…
I know I'm saying too much but I'm just hoping that you will not have any regrets after doing things overboard just to help your father…" Sarah voiced out her opinion. She actually checked Kyle's profile and the man had a good reputation and defended a lot of needy and underprivileged victims with Lana in another country.
If he were to defend his father, he would definitely encounter a lot of backlash for defending a criminal after the trial and she was somehow worried for him.
Kyle gave her a reassuring smile and said, "Thank you, Sarah. I understand what you mean...."
Sarah heaved a sigh of relief, making Kyle grin.
"What's funny? Go eat now. Geez, I can't believe how twisted your situation is right now that I suddenly appreciate that my family background is not that too complicated…" Sarah commented as she started eating.
"Yeah, I envy you…" Kyle seconded as he too began to eat.
"By the way, are you living on your own?" Kyle commented.
"Yeah, I moved out of my parent's house as soon as I graduated college. I wanted to be an independent woman and luckily my parents are always supportive of my decisions. Though I do have a brother who is a bit overprotective and childish…" Sarah replied.
They finished breakfast and Kyle was about to help her clean the dishes but Sarah refused and said, "I'll take care of it. You should freshen up and leave now. I'm sure you're so busy."
"Alright, I'll definitely make it up to you and treat you to a meal instead…" Kyle commented.
"Your coat is on the couch," Sarah said.
Both of them froze when Sarah's doorbell rang suddenly.
Sarah's eyes widened in shock as she cursed, "Sh*t! I forgot today's Saturday… My mom is early! Go hide!"
Kyle started to feel nervous as well seeing the way Sarah was panicking.
"Where should I hide?" Kyle whispered as Sarah pushed him inside her room.
"Under the bed! Quick!" Sarah slightly yelled nervously because she would be doomed if her mother found out that she let a man inside her apartment.
The buzzing did not stop and Sarah knew she should open the door in order to not worry her mother. She bet her mobile phone inside the bedroom was ringing by now.
She pressed the intercom and said, "Coming…"
She quickly opened the door and was greeted with her mother's furrowed eyebrows.
"What took you so long to open the door?" her mother asked as she entered.
"Surprise!" her brother shouted enthusiastically as he followed her mother.
"Mom, I'm sure sis is hiding someone that's why it took her a while to open the door for us…" her brother Abram seconded. He was her twin brother.
Sarah's eyes widened when Abram's eyes pointed at Kyle's coat.
'No!' Sarah screamed.
"Look here, mom!! A man's coat!" Abram announced loudly and Sarah quickly grabbed it.
"What are you saying this is a unisex coat and it's mine. Why are you here? Aren't you busy with your work at the company?!" Sarah hissed.
Abram's eyebrow lifted up and said, "I'm the boss of the company and it's the weekend. Mom pulled me here as her driver. Besides, I was missing you for a long time. It's been a while since I last saw and checked up on you. Wait… Why aren't you happy to see me? Is this how you greet me after not seeing me as I was gone for so long on a business trip?!"
"Oh stop it you two! Anyway, go and fix yourself. Get ready we need to go to the golf tournament. Your father went there first and will be waiting for us…" her mother reminded.
Sarah's face crumpled because she did not want to mingle with those socialites, playing golf. It was just not for her.
"Can I please skip this? You know I hate playing that boring game…" Sarah complained.
"That's why I'm here to pick you up. Hurry now. Your father wants to introduce you to someone…"
Sarah's eyes rounded as she screamed, "No way!!!"
"Yes way!!!" Abram answered with a teasing grin and before Sarah could react, her mother directly walked inside her room and screamed…
Sarah and Arram both ran and saw Kyle on the floor.
Kyle was scratching his head as he mumbled, "I couldn't fit under the bed…"
"What is this Sarah!???" her mother yelled.
"Why are you asking the obvious mom? He's Sarah's man of course. Your soon to be son-in-law…" Abram teased his twin with a grin.
