Loving A Heartless Lawyer - zChapter 564

Back at Kyle’s place…

Kyle did not take long to take a quick shower and change into a proper attire for golf. He was already a member of the club but did not actively engage in playing very often. He only played once in a while when he felt like it. Soon he and Abram returned back to the car.

While inside the car, Sarah immediately typed a text message and sent it to Kyle.

[Please bear with it for today. I promise to make it up to you and treat you generously. So make sure you behave well in front of him. My life and my future depends on it. Please, Kyle… I beg you. Do not say anything that will disappoint him for now… I will handle everything after this.]

Kyle gulped after reading Sarah’s message.

“Is it from work?” Mrs. Jung who sat beside him asked.

“No ma’am… Ahm, mom… It’s Sarah,” Kyle honestly answered.

“Oh, you two. How sweet… Talking sweet nothings in text messages even when you’re next to each other, ” Sarah’s mother gushed, squealing and sounded so pleased.

Sarah rolled her eyes. She wanted to pull Kyle’s hair for making the situation worse.

‘Why can’t he just say yes or no?’ she silently complained. She must think of a way to get out of this stressful situation without displeasing her father as much as possible.

They soon arrived at the golf club and Mrs. Jung excitedly hooked her arms in Kyle’s to introduce him to her husband. When they arrived they saw Sarah’s father who was sitting and talking to friends at the clubhouse.

“Why would you let a man sleep in your house when you look so unsure about your relationship?” Sarah heard Abram whisper as they walked far behind from her mother and Kyle.

“I already said it’s a misunderstanding Abram,” Sarah mumbled.

“Still, you let a man sleep inside your room Sarah. A man you never introduce to us, even as a friend…” Abram scolded. He noticed something suspicious about his sister.

Sarah hated having a long discussion so she simply answered, “You guys already met him now right?”

She turned at Abram and said, “I will explain everything to you later but for now you have to help me out with dad okay? Just keep your mouth shut and don’t blabber any nonsense”

“I will try…” Abram scoffed with a playful grin so Sarah hit him threatening, “If you won’t help me out today I will tell Kenzie that you have a crush on her!”

“Don’t you dare Sarah! That’s a lie.” Abram whisper-yelled, stuttering.

A smirk appeared on Sarah’s face as she teased him, “Try me my dear brother. You know how well I keep my words.”

Abram’s face twitched because he knew his twin sister very well. After all they’ve grown up together. Even if he denied it a million times, she would still do what she said, believing he indeed has a crush on Kenzie.

“Alright fine. But, this will be the last time I will help you. You must tell me everything later just as you promised.” Abram reminded with a crumpled face to which Sarah vigorously nodded.

As expected, Sarah’s father was shocked when he saw a stranger coming with them.

“Who is he?” Senior Jung asked with furrowed eyebrows.

“Relax your face darling and don’t scare the poor man. He’s Sarah’s boyfriend, Kyle” Mrs. Jung, with a bright smile, interrupted.

Kyle smiled and politely introduced himself to Sarah’s father who maintained a blank expression. He was quite intimidated with how Sarah’s father looked at him but he tried his best to relax and be himself.

Senior Jung signaled him to sit beside him and offered him some tea.

“How long have you two known each other?” Senior Jung asked then his gaze shifted to Sarah as he continued, “How come Sarah never mentioned you to us?”

Sarah smiled sweetly at her father and said, “Hmm, I had to take my time before doing that dad. You already know that I’m a very busy person and just like me Kyle too is a busy lawyer so it took us some time to figure out that we like each other romantically.

We’re just in the boyfriend and girlfriend phase for now dad. We are still getting to know each other. Please don’t interrogate Kyle too much or else I might end up being single again.”

Senior Jung’s eyebrows lifted up and countered, “I haven’t even started questioning him and here you are already giving me a warning. If you ended up being single then it’s Kyle’s loss and besides I have a lot of single men who are lined up for you. All you need to do is choose one among them.”

Sarah almost spat the tea she sipped hearing her father’s bold words. She inherited her impulsiveness from her father who often talked freely, not minding or not being aware of whether his words were overboard.

She looked at Kyle who seemed to be unaffected and rather had a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt in his eyes.

“Sir, just like Sarah mentioned, our relationship is very new but I’m really glad that I got to meet you, her family so soon,” Kyle answered with a smile. Since Sarah asked for his help, he thought that he should please her family today by going with the flow.

“Your surname is Grey? Are you somehow related to Bill Grey?” Sarah’s father suddenly asked, making both Sarah and Kyle freeze in their seats.

Sarah looked at Kyle and gulped in nervousness.

“Yes Sir… He’s my father. I’m his illegitimate son,” Kyle whispered.

Everyone seated in the table were shocked and Sarah was glad that only her family was present.

“Dad…” Sarah whispered, unable to utter another word because she did not know what to say.

“Hmm, so what if you are his illegitimate son? It’s not your fault dear. He may be your father but that doesn’t mean you are like him. Our family does not judge based on a person’s background, Kyle. So don’t worry about it” Mrs. Jung commented and Sarah wanted to kiss her mother for breaking the awkward tension in the atmosphere.

“My wife is right Kyle. As long as you are a good man and sincere to my daughter I won’t have a problem. Though I’m yet to see your sincerity, as long as you treat her right we are good. You see Sarah is my only daughter so I hope you will understand if I am a bit demanding or if I’m hard to please.

I can allow you to date my daughter but that doesn’t mean that I will be willing to hand her over to you that easily. You have to get Abram’s and my approval before you can have her hand in marriage…”

“I second that notion…” Abram mumbled.

“Dad! Abram! What are you guys saying?!” Sarah complained.

“What?! Don’t tell me that you two are just playing around and don’t have plans on settling down in the future?” Senior Jung mumbled.

Sara felt so embarrassed in front of Kyle who unfortunately got involved with her chaotic family.
