Loving A Heartless Lawyer - Chapter 640

At Cha Mansion

Karen was so pissed off that she wanted to add poison to the tea that she was about to serve on the veranda. She did not like how Kenzie was acting coy. She had to do something to destroy Kenzie’s relationship with Daryl because that was the only effective way she could think of getting rid of Daryl.

Daryl was obviously in love with the woman. The newlywed couple was too obviously in love with each other and it did not bode well for her and Harry. Kenzie had a powerful background and Karen could sense the cunningness in her aura. So those two must be separated before  Kenzie could further influence Daryl.

She composed herself, breathing loudly before she grabbed the tea tray and walked directly onto the veranda. She could have asked the maids but she needed to portray the perfect family image, so she decided to serve the tea herself instead.

On the veranda, her husband Marius was obviously overwhelmed with his son being around and Karen could not help but feel threatened.

She served the tea and commented, “It’s so nice to see Daryl back in the house just like the old days. I’m sure you and your wife will enjoy staying here.”

Then she sat beside Marius and grabbed his hand and lovingly held it as she added, “Marius is really pleased, seeing we now have an additional member in our family.”

Daryl’s stepmother lovingly c.a.r.e.s.sed Marius’ cheeks making Kenzie muse out loud, ‘Oh wow she’s good. Much like a white lotus.’

She could already tell how Daryl’s stepmother nailed every show, making sure her husband Daryl would end up looking bad in the eyes of his own father, that Daryl had no other option but to leave the family home to live on his own.

Kenzie looked at Daryl, her eyes filled with empathy. She grabbed Daryl’s hand, clasped their hands together, gently raised them, and kissed his hand.

Daryl jumped a bit, startled by the sudden gesture from his wife. He looked at Kenzie and was so mesmerized by her sweet smile that he wanted to pull her close to him and bury himself in her breathless kisses.

“I’m honestly excited too about living in our new home. Right, darling? This is Daryl’s home and how nice it would be once father-in-law plays with his future grandchildren.”

Kenzie looked at her father-in-law who was smiling happily at her words and she shamelessly added, “Right, father? Would you like me to fill our home with children?”

She heard Karen cough and she controlled herself from laughing out loud, knowing that the woman had almost choked on hearing her words.

“Of course dear. Our mansion is so big that it will still be spacious after being filled with kids.” Marius commented. He liked Kenzie a lot, especially how straightforward she was.

“Oh, we are working hard on that, Father. Soon our home will be filled with a baby’s cries and laughter.” Kenzie sounded genuine because she really intended to do it. She did not mind living with Daryl’s stepmother and stepbrother in peace, but if they attempted to do anything that would hurt any of her family, she would make sure to kick their butts out!

The evening went well, with Daryl and his father interacting with a little help from Kenzie. Daryl could no longer remember the last time he had a great conversation with his father, but he was glad in taking baby steps to bring back their connection to how it used to be.

He could not believe how irresponsible he had been that he had almost let Kenzie slip away. But then God had favored him as Kenzie had not given up on him easily.

Harry, on the other hand, did not know what to feel. He was glad that his father was smiling and laughing so much. He looked very happy and Harry felt happy too but knowing that it was not because of him made him envious of Daryl and Kenzie.

Looking at Kenzie also made him feel envious. He wanted someone like Kenzie to be his woman but Daryl snatched her in just a blink of an eye. He hated the fact that he always had to compete with Daryl over everything. He heaved a long and deep sigh, still torn about how best to approach things around him. But his mother would definitely not stop reminding him about their plans.

“We should go now,” Daryl said after some time.

“Right, tomorrow is Jack’s surgery. Oh! Please tell your father that I wish him well. I have something for him as well. Meng will give it to you,” Marius said to Kenzie though he looked at Daryl.

Daryl sighed again, feeling bad about his father’s situation. He had turned blind and it must be uncomfortable for someone as active as him to cope with everything. Now he had no choice but to stay inside the mansion.

“Daryl…” Marius called, raising his hand. Daryl quickly caught it and his father held on to it with both his hands.

“Thank you for this son…” he whispered, his eyes welling up with tears. Kenzie felt so glad watching the father and son. Her head turned and unconsciously landed on Karen.

Her eyebrows raised watching the look on Karen’s face. Karen seemed to feel Kenzie’s gaze on her so she turned to look at her. Karen quickly replaced the dark expression on her face with a pleasant smile.

Kenzie smiled too and said, “We’ll see each other soon. What should I call you? How does Mom Karen sound? I grew up without a mother so I’m not sure if I will do well as your daughter.”

“Oh, dear. Yes, you call me Mom Karen,” replied Karen.

“Well then, Mom Karen. I’m looking forward to living here with you, Father and Harry. I hope we all get along well.”

She walked closer to give Karen a kiss on her cheek as she whispered, “I’m an easy person to deal with Mom. As long as you are nice to me and Daryl, I too will be nice. Let’s get along really well Mom Karen.”
