A Spoilt Princess 66 Am Sorry If I Acted Ungrateful

how have you been lately? I left in a hurry and forgot to leave you my contacts. am sorry if I acted ungrateful. An kai said as he hugged Xia. time had changed nothing about the two.

dear, do you like any of my sweaters?

all these colours will look great on you. you look better than "some people", they left decades ago and now, here they come thinking I will welcome them.

come sit here. I want to see how he will come to take you away. the old woman said looking at Roline. Roline moved her body to sit near the old woman. Xia and An kai were behind the two looking helpless.

"mother is angry with you, she saw your wedding photos in news papers so, she has been waiting for the day you will bring yourself into her hands.

Xia used to bring An kai to her house on special days of the year so that they can celebrate together.

An kai knew aunt Xia's family and the few people in it.

Roline wanted to say something but she couldn't find the right words to use. Granny spoke none stop leaving her no s.p.a.ce to answer.

she looked helpless at that very moment.

mother, let your granddaughter come inside for something. she hasn't eaten all day, she will then try on your sweaters afterwards. Xia said in the most polite tone one could ever use.

Granny didn't reply but turned to Roline.

"dear, are you hungry? do you want to eat home or in a restaurant? choose any place you want to go to. Granny said before changing her smiley face in to a cold one and faced Xia.

"go get the food ready!

my girl is really hungry. after which, she held onto Roline and went inside the house ignoring An kai completely.

..on the dining table..

the old woman continued to add food in Roline's bowl evey time she turned but An kai wasn't eating. he kept staring at the two women who were busing themselves with food.

An, why aren't you eating? Xia asked seeing An kai just looking at food in front of him.

am waiting for my Granny to give me some food too. she's filling her plate yet mine is empty. An kai was complaining like a kid, he didn't believe that the old woman would let him go on an empty stomach.

"you're not a kid anymore! eat if you like and leave if you don't!

Granny said before she moved more food into Roline's plate. Roline ate slowly and quietly, she had not said a word from the time she stepped in to the house.

An looked at Roline before he said with a serious face. " my dear wife, do you know that people who don't like your husband don't like you as well, let's go since no one wants us in this house. An kai stood up with a sad face to leave.

" if you still want a place in this house , sit down! sit down and eat!

the old woman didn't let Roline to stand up, she held her hand as she scolded An kai and then started to fill An kai's empty plate with food.

are you forgiving me granny? if yes, I will bring your daughter here every Christmas. An kai said knowing that the old woman won't say no. she was too possessed with beautiful people thinking that when they wear her sweaters, they become beautiful too. Granny made sweaters but never sold them. she only gifted them to those people who pleased her.

the food session ended. Roline tried into the sweaters and took the yellow coloured one. the two said goodbye and left for the bus stand again. but the place this time was too congested.

stop worrying yourself, we're going to use a taxi since we're running out of time. An kai said after looking at Roline's worried expression.

it was nearing 5 pm when the two reached where they left their car. An drove the car out and locked the gate before he drove off.

Roline was tired, she didn't want to drive so An kai got into the driver's seat.

half way through , Roline fell asleep on the pa.s.senger's seat.

due to traffic germ in evening hours, the two used four and half hours to reach the Han villa. it was already 8: 30pm when they reached home.

after packing the car, An kai bent over and carried Roline out of the car to the house.

the maids had never thought of having dog food from the two but, time proven them wrong!
