Chapter 769: POSITION IN TORDOFF COMPANY

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“Daniel, can you find out where Kia lives? Mother wants to visit her.” Amber thought if she had a chance to talk to Kia then her daughter would change her mind and would definitely come back home.

Unfortunately, Daniel did not know where his sister lived. “I don’t know where she lives.” His voice was full of guilt.

However, Amber did not give up on this and kept asking Daniel to think about this better. “You can ask Mr. Tordoff. I’m sure he’ll tell you,” he suggested.

“Why does he have to find out Kia’s address through Mr. Tordoff?” Lyle asked in a voice that sounded clear. He was against this idea. “How can he ask him for that? It will damage the professional relationship between them. It’s not about Kia, it’s about Daniel’s career.”

Daniel did not agree with what his father said, but he was also reluctant to seek Mr. Tordoff just to talk about Kia, considering what he had said and done before, he felt he should first distance himself from Misha Tordoff until the matter subsided.

“Why not? If indeed Kia has a special relationship with Misha Tordoff, why should you stop them both? We can give our blessings and persuade Kia to come home.” Amber looked furious.

“Why do we have to persuade her to come home? She should be the one apologizing and begging to come home, she was the one who decided to get out of the house.” Lyle didn’t want to give up on this, he also stood up.

“You kicked her out of the house!” cried Amber loudly.

“Mother!” Daniel called, reminding them that they were still in the hospital and Alia was now sleeping in front of them. “Calm down, we can talk about this later.”

Amber looked so shaken. Maybe because Alia was sick, or because she didn’t make it to Kia and her granddaughter earlier, but she wasn’t in a position to speak properly.

And after realizing that, she walked out of Alia’s room and walked down the hospital corridor.

Alia was in good health and Kia and her granddaughter were in good condition. She even met a man as good as Misha Tordoff, but why wouldn’t her tears stop flowing?

“Amber,” Lyle called, he chased after his wife. “Calm down. Let’s go home first, Daniel has requested a day off and he will accompany Alia for the night.”

Amber just nodded, because she couldn’t stop crying, even though she herself didn’t know why she was crying like this and why her heart hurt so much.

In the end, the couple walked into the parking lot and got into Daniel’s car, because Lyle’s car was still parked in the shopping center.

“I wonder… when was the last time you had a chat with Kia?” asked Amber suddenly as they were in the car, heading to their house.

This was an unexpected question and left Lyle confused for a moment, before he answered directly. “Of course four years ago.”

Amber leaned her head against the car window, looking at the busy street even though it was night.

Everything looked normal, even though Amber’s mood was very bad right now. This was a contrast that made her realize that whatever was happening in her life now, life would go on, no matter what it was.

“Are you really sure that it was a chat?” asked Amber in a hoarse voice. She had stopped crying, but her heart was still not at ease.

“Of course,” answered Lyle quickly, so it could be said that he didn’t think about the answer before answering.

In the end, the ride back home was very quiet because no one spoke to the other the whole way.

And as soon as she alighted the car, Amber went straight into the house and cleaned herself up and after that, she just lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.

It was only in the silence that Lyle thought back to the strange question Amber had asked him. He frowned when he saw his wife sleeping with her back to him.

But, Lyle couldn’t sleep, he couldn’t even keep his eyes closed for much longer, so he decided to get out of the room and get a glass of water from the kitchen.

On the plate rack, he picked up a glass, but then his hand stopped when he saw the row of ceramic cups behind the drinking glasses.

When Alia was about to have her major surgery, they decided to take her out so she wouldn’t be too tense when the day of her surgery came, but unfortunately, Kia couldn’t come because she was having a debate competition. So, because of her busy schedule and the various other things that happened, they couldn’t come with her.

Therefore, the four of them left without Kia, because at that time they thought Kia was old enough to take care of herself, they didn’t think too much into it, after all Kia decided to stay back to participate in the debate competition instead of spending time with her family.

It was her decision.

They also didn’t worry about leaving Kia alone, as she was able to take care of the whole family and do a lot of things while Amber was busy with Alia, so it shouldn’t be difficult for Kia to take care of herself when they were gone, right?

And when they left, they made ceramic cups with their own names, but due to insufficient time, they only made cups for themselves and no one made one for Kia.

Here were the cups. There were four oddly shaped ceramic cups, lined up on the dish rack. The shape was indeed strange, because they were handmade by amateurs like them.

On the four cups was written; father, mother, Alia and Daniel, but no Kia and Lyle remembered very well how they called them their family cups. These were their favorite cups.

This had happened years ago, but for some reason Lyle only felt this uncomfortable feeling now, as if something snapped in him and he saw this in a different light.

Actually, why didn’t they take the time to make a cup for Kia too? And why didn’t they delay their departure for a while and watch the debate competition Kia was participating in, so then they could go together?

It was true that their vacation time would be cut short, but they could have at least gone together, right?

Lyle frowned at this uncomfortable feeling and this made him think of something else.

=======================

“Hey, how are you feeling?” Keira asked while she was making lunch for the two of them, before Kia left for work.

“I’m fine,” replied Kia, helping Keira and starting to get plates for the three of them, while Mika was already sitting quietly in her own chair.

“If there’s something you want to talk about, you can say it to me, you know that, don’t you?” Keira looked at Kia, who looked gloomy.

She had been like this for about three days now and refused Misha who wanted to see her, but what surprised Keira was the fact that the man didn’t push and left after giving them some items or food they needed.

“Thank you,” said Kia. She had already told Keira what had happened, but after that she didn’t want to talk about it anymore and Keira respected her decision.

And after that, their lunch went a little awkwardly and very quietly, because apart from Mika who was telling her about the fairy tale book her mother read last night, no one was really having a conversation.

The fairy tale book was the one Misha bought yesterday. He gave it along with the food he bought for the three of them.

After the lunch, Kia kissed Mika’s forehead and left her little girl with Keira as usual and stepped out of her apartment.

It was just that, when she just got out of her apartment building, a car stopped right beside her and it didn’t take a genius to guess who the driver of the car was.

Of course it was Misha, who got out of his car and walked over to Kia.

Well, at least he didn’t scream from inside the car or honk at her…

“I’ll take you,” Misha said in a calm voice as he walked over to Kia before walking beside her.

“No need,” replied Kia tiredly. She didn’t have the energy to argue with Misha anymore, but the man grabbed her hand and forced her to stop.

“I’ll take you,” he said more firmly this time.

Seeing how Misha had parked his car on the side of the road and there were several people watching them, Kia didn’t want to be the center of attention and decided to get into the car without causing any fuss.

“Have you had lunch?” Misha asked, glancing at Kia’s gloomy face.

“Yes,” she answered simply, looking down at the road. She wasn’t in the mood to think about anything right now.

It turned out that her feelings did not improve even after three days had passed. She thought she would easily forget the incident when she saw her family again, but it wasn’t that easy.

“Is there anything you need?” Misha asked again.

“No.”

“Do you want to go somewhere?”

“Yes, to where I work.”

“How about you take some time off and we go out for a walk?”

“I could be fired if I don’t go back today.”

“You can work in my office.”

“What position will you offer?” Kia scowled. She knew that Misha could give her any position.

“How about the position of being my wife?”
