"You let that handsome man get back to Lea?" Owen asked, occasionally turning his head to look at Arthur and Kalea from a distance. Then he checked how his little friend's condition was when he knew Kai's struggle for love would definitely not be smooth because of the arrival of that person. Kai seemed to stay focused by carrying one sack after another of cocoa pods and would collect them all when they were finished. "Kai, don't pretend not to hear," Owen called again.
Kai sighed and patted his palms to keep them from getting too dirty. "There's no choice as long as Lea accepts him again. I'm still a stranger among them here anyway," Kai replied, his emerald eyes looking at Arthur who was crouching under Kalea and stroking the girl's stomach. "Ah, no. Lea said I was an important person in her life."
Owen raised one eyebrow. "Huh? Did she seriously say something like that?"
