Louisa stared vilely at the back of the departing brothers and swore deep in her heart to make them pay for the humiliation.
" Mr. and Mrs. Kim please forgive us for any inconveniences caused. I apologize to you on my family's behalf" Felix offered an apology, but I'm truth, he wasn't a little bit sorry for anything that had occurred
" Am sorry, but this humiliation is too much ! And we need a tangible explanation. Leah, Louisa, let's go" Charles angry punched his fist in the sofa and stood up. He looked to Kathryn "The next time my daughter is compared to a business deal, I won't take it sitting down !" he said and began to leave, followed by his wife and daughter
" Leah am sorry. I promise to make things better" Kathryn apologized before Leah steppes out.
She sincerely unlike her husband, felt sorry and embarrassed. She called Leah specifically because she's also a mother just like her, so she felt the need to apologize to her.
"Son, accompany me to my room"
" Okay father" Felix said and looked at his wife whose eyes were shooting daggers directly at him. He quickly swifted his eyes avoiding her stare
' What's her problem now ?!'
"Thank you father and my dear husband for your efforts this evening !" Kathryn exclaimed in sarcasm as she walked past them to her room.
" Did I do something to your wife?"
" I have no idea" Felix replied as he shook his head.
Emil turned his head to his brother who sat at the wheel, "spill it" he said.
" What?"
" If you didn't want me to catch you peeking at me for the hundredth time, you should have done it better "
Daniel chuckled when he heard his brother's direct words, ' He wasn't peeking alright?'
" Do you think mum will let things go after tonight?"
" No, I don't think so. Am sure she will come up with something drastic the next time."
" Mmm, this time wouldn't be like years ago when she allowed things to quieten down. She's going to strike back real quick"
" That, am sure" Emil agreed and knitted his brows.
His brother is right, their mother won't let things die down no matter what.
" Sister in-law has less than a year to graduate." Daniel suddenly mentioned Yvonne
"No one can hurt her, not even mum !" Emil firmly said.
He wasn't going to allow any harm befall his precious.
" Yeah, you should. And don't trust the Kim family "
Emil frowned at his brother's words. Even if he wanted to, he just won't. Not after all that they did to his precious. Before, he was lenient with them, but now that he knows how evil they could be, his leniency had been replaced with extreme anger and hatred !
" I know"
" Also," Daniel turned his head briefly to his brother " Let's try talking to mum about this whole betrothal thing. Maybe, just maybe she will understand" he said
" Yeah, just maybe ---- but I doubt it though. Kathryn, never goes back on her word. She will try all means to get me married to that girl"
" And my brother doesn't accept things to be forced on him. He always does what he wants"
Emil chuckled with his lips curled up, " Then your brother is very hard headed !"
" Hey! don't you dare badmouth my brother" Daniel feigned seriousness.
Seconds later, busts of laughter echoed in the car as they drove home.

At the university
Early the next morning, Yvonne woke up to the sound of her phone ring, she stretched and yawned before slowly adjusting her eyes to the morning light.
As she was about to pick the phone, it got disconnected. She retracted her hand, got down from the bed and entered the bathroom.
But before she closed the door, her phone rang once again. She didn't go to answer it, she just looked briefly at it and closed the bathroom door.
Minutes later, she emerged form the bathroom looking refreshed.
" Will you please answer the damn phone ? I still need some minutes of sleep !" Sandra loudly said immediately the bathroom door creak open
" Yes ma'am" Yvonne smiled and walked to the ringing phone, she felt happiness wash over her when she saw the caller ID, 'My Puppy' blinking on the screen.
She swiped her finger on the screen and the call got connected.
" Hey, what took you ..."
" Am sorry, I was fast asleep" Yvonne quickly interrupted Emil before he could completed his sentence
" Okay, are you free?"
" Yes"
"Switch on your laptop, I want to video call you"
" Okay, give a minute" Yvonne said and reached out for her laptop which laid on her study desk. She turned on the power button and set it at a comfortable place.
Minutes later, Emil's call came through and she impatiently answered.
" Oh my God, I miss you so much !"
