"B-boyfriend? Um ...." Kalea hung her words, glancing anxiously at Arthur as to what she should say at this point.

"I'm talking to Miss. Lovaata, not to you, Arthur," Albern interrupted, already knowing that his son was about to answer.
"I-I haven't had anyone like that, sir," Kalea replied nervously, her hands breaking out in a cold sweat. Albern's piercing gaze seemed to pierce her body. She finally chose to answer honestly, because if she said she already had a lover, Albern would ask her again why she was willing to be taken into another man's family.
"There's no need to rush, Lea. You're still very young, better focus on your academics," Aquila said as she held both of Kalea's hands, her aura very cheerful and flowery. "Oh, your hands are sweaty? Honey, You're scaring Lea!" Aquila accused, taking some tissues and wiping Kalea's palms.
