Chapter 37 - Chapter 37 : Quiet Dinner Before the War

After Isabella finished setting all the dishes on the table then she opened the refrigerator and took a small box of strawberry flavoured milk.

"Kiki what would you like to drink milk, juice or coffee?" Asked Isabella who turned to Kiki who was already sitting in his place while looking at the food on the table. Hearing Isabella's question, Kiki thought for a moment after that he answered with a smile on his face.

"Just coffee, princess~ thank you," Kiki replied to which Isabella nodded. The girl took 2 boxes of coffee, one for Kiki and the other for Gabriel because Isabella knew Gabriel prefers coffee to milk or juice. After taking drinks for them Isabella walked over to Kiki and put their drinks on the table and she sat beside Kiki who took his coffee. Kiki opened the seal and drank the cold coffee, as well as Isabella who also drank her milk. When they were about to take food, Isabella suddenly remembered that Gabriel wasn't there.

"Eh? Kiki waits, don't eat yet, Mr. Cho isn't here yet. Is he still in the room or on the balcony upstairs? Then I'll call him first okay?" When Isabella was about to get up from her seat, Kiki stopped her.

"Wait princess, let me just call Riel. Beautiful princess just wait here, okay~" Isabella just nodded her head then Kiki immediately got up from his seat and walked away to call Gabriel.

Kiki looked for Gabriel on the balcony above Isabella's house but the cold-faced youth was not there, then Kiki thought that maybe Gabriel was already in the room reading or playing on his cellphone. The brown-haired youth immediately stepped his foot toward Aska and Defka's room when he opened the door he called Gabriel.

"Riel~ come on down the princess has already prepared dinner for us. Come downstairs so we can eat soon, I'm really hungry. . . Eh?" Kiki saw that there was no one in the room then he checked the bathroom but there was also no one he was looking for. Kiki was increasingly wondering where Gabriel had gone. Finally, he stepped towards Defka's bed and took his cell phone which he placed beside the pillow when he tried to contact Gabriel but the only answer was voicemail.

"Where did Riel go? It's just troublesome." Then when Kiki was trying to contact Gabriel he accidentally looked over Aska's bedside table. The cell phones and car keys that were there before are no longer there. Kiki also thinks maybe Gabriel went out, but if that's true why didn't he tell himself or Isabella. When Kiki saw his cellphone, he had called Gabriel almost six times but the cold-faced youth didn't answer at all, Kiki sighed tiredly and when he was about to text Gabriel an incoming message first. When he saw it was from Raziel, suddenly Kiki felt that something had happened he saw a message from Raziel and immediately made him growl and widen his eyes.

'Michael sent a message to Gabriel, and they are currently at an abandoned dock in the south of the city.' Raziel's message to Kiki made the brown-haired boy ruffle his hair in frustration.

"What's the problem now? Why is today full of drama and problems?" Kiki grumbled who then called Raziel.

Downstairs Isabella was sitting in her chair while drinking her second strawberry milk, waiting for Kiki and Gabriel who until she finished her first strawberry milk still hadn't come down for dinner together. Feeling anxious, Isabella finally decided to pick them up, she got up from her seat and walked out of the kitchen but when she was about to leave suddenly someone in front of her made her lose her balance and was about to fall but was immediately caught by the person standing in front of her who immediately pulled her into a hug. warm.

"Wow~ be careful princess, what if you fall." Kiki let go of his arms and took a step back from Isabella.

"Sorry, Kiki I didn't see you come in. I was worried because you guys didn't come down soon that's why I wanted to go after you. Ehh? Where is Mr Cho?" Isabella looked behind Kiki but did not find the cold-faced youth. Kiki also explains that currently, Gabriel is out for a while to meet a friend who is related to his father's work, but he will be home soon because it's only for a while. Isabella who listened to Kiki's explanation just nodded her head without the slightest suspicion because after all Gabriel and Kiki are bright young men who will one day inherit their family company so from an early age Gabriel and Kiki have been taught how to manage a company and when they were teenagers they both started to build and make friends with children from companies that work with their parents' companies which is why they sometimes skip classes or take early days off to work with their parents' company. So that's why Isabella immediately believed without arguing at all, which made Kiki grateful in his heart.

Finally, Kiki and Isabella had dinner together and set aside one plate and kept it in the fridge for Gabriel so that when he came he just had to reheat it using the microwave. When Kiki was helping Isabella tidy up the cooking and eating utensils that they had cleaned in their place, suddenly there was the sound of something falling. Kiki and Isabella immediately ran towards the origin of the sound and to Isabella's surprise, she saw Yifan who was lying in pain under the stairs while moaning in pain.

"YIFAN!!" Immediately Isabella ran towards him and took the Asian youth into her arms.

"What are you doing Yifan? Why did you get out of bed and walk alone down the stairs? Are you hurt and is anyone hurt?" Isabella checked every part of Yifan's body to make sure of the young man's condition. But when Isabella was examining his body Yifan held one of her hands and looked at Isabella.

"I'm fine Bels, then how about you are you okay? Your cousin Kiki told me that something had happened to you. Because I was so worried I decided to come over to your house to make sure you were okay. Did someone bother you at school or did someone hurt you? I'm sorry Bels that I wasn't there to take care of you." There was a tinge of regret in his voice coupled with a face filled with sadness and a frown that was probably due to the pain. Isabella who saw Yifan like that couldn't stand it and then immediately hugged Yifan carefully.

"I'm fine now Yifan. Thanks for coming here and worrying about me, but you should also pay attention to your condition. I don't want to see you hurt yourself again because of me, do you understand?" Isabella hugged Yifan gently because she wasn't afraid that if she hugged him tightly, Yifan would feel pain. Hearing what the girl he loved silently said he involuntarily burst into tears and hugged Isabella back. Kiki who saw the two couldn't help but sigh and smile a little when they both didn't notice the presence of anyone other than them.

In the end, Kiki helped Yifan back to the guest room which he had used to rest while Isabella returned to the kitchen to take the porridge which she warmed for a while and put it in a small bowl which she put on a white tray she also made warm green tea for her to take to Yifan's room.
