Loving A Heartless Lawyer - zChapter 565

At Chua Mansion.

As agreed, Kenzie’s private lesson already began during the weekend. Her instructors greeted her as soon as she arrived at the mansion. Kenzie simply nodded as she was not in the mood to study because of her irritating meeting with Daryl just a while ago.

Cris briefed her about her schedule for today. Her schedule would start at 1:00 pm and end at 6:00 pm. She also had to follow the same schedule for the next day, Sunday. Just the thought of all those boring lectures made her feel dizzy already.

“Can we skip the training today?” She asked, showing her puppy eyes.

“No ma’am we can’t. Your father will arrive soon and he wants you to start as soon as possible, or else he will not keep his part of the bargain,” Assistant Cris reminded because she would be the one answering to Senior Chua.

Kenzie heaved a sigh. She still wanted to see Daryl tomorrow and at least watch a movie with him. But recalling how he slapped her with his words a while ago made her feel sad. She wondered if she was too overconfident but yet she still could not let go of Daryl just yet.

“Alright, let me first have a quick lunch and join you, please wait for me in the library,” Kenzie almost whispered. She grabbed her mobile phone and dialed butler Mark’s number.

“Hello Missy,” Mark quickly answered with a gulp.

“How come you’re not back yet? I thought dad will be out only for a small while to meet his friends?” Kenzie asked. She did not know why but she started feeling a little uneasy by the repeated long absence of her father without giving her any reasons.

“Missy…” Butler Mark almost whispered but then Kenzie heard her father’s voice asking, “Is that Kenzie? Tell her we will be a little late because I’m meeting one of my old-time friends and having a good chat with him after years…”

“Never mind. I heard him. Just make sure you guys won’t come home very late. Dad is a bit old already so don’t even allow him to drink,” Kenzie reminded and then quickly ended the call.

Butler Mark helplessly looked at his master who just smiled at him and nodded.

“You should tell her everything, master. Missy deserves to know what’s going on. I can’t keep this for too long from her,” Butler Mark prompted.

Jack, who was resting on the bed, chuckled and weakly murmured, “I will try telling her soon… Thank you Mark for always staying by my side and helping me out…”

“You better do master, as I’m not sure when I will have a slip of tongue in front of Missy, spilling out everything …” Butler Mark sincerely muttered, trying his best to compose himself and not cry looking at his master who, he knew, was in great pain.

“I wonder how well she is doing with her aim of running after that Daryl Cha…” Jack whispered but butler Mark interrupted and said, “Master you should rest first so we can come back home soon with you looking healthy and normal.”

Jack sighed and rested his eyes, he could not help but always pray for his daughter, hoping Kenzie would become a strong woman, someone whom no one could hurt or trample and mess with.

At Capital City Golf Club.

Sarah did not know what to feel while watching Kyle with her father and brother at the golf course.

“The guy seems good, to be able to please your father and brother so soon,” her mother teasingly whispered in her ear.

“You look so happy and pleased too mom. Remember… It’s not a serious relationship between him and me, so please don’t get that much excited,” Sarah mumbled.

Instead of minding her words, her mother pulled her to approach the playing men and said, “Kyle, I can see you can play well. How about you teach Sarah? Maybe she only needs someone like you to learn well.”

With a roguish smile, Kyle quickly said, “Yes mom…”

Sarah could not help but silently whisper, ‘Wow, he sure can be a good actor!’

But what her mother said could be used in her own favor, so she quickly pulled Kyle away from her father and brother.

“Dad, let me borrow him for a while and you two concentrate on the tournament. Who knows… Mom can be right this time,” Sarah said with a grin.

“What did my dad say?” Sarah interrogated him when they were at enough distance from her family.

“They are all staring at us,” Kyle unconsciously commented and Sarah looked at her family. She shook her head and said, “Yeah, go on and teach me while we talk.”

Kyle moved closer to her and put his arms around her from behind her, to hold her hands trying to teach her the right way of holding the golf stick. His intimate gesture suddenly made Sarah flinch. He was very close to her and she could even feel his hot breath on the back of her neck.

“Relax your body. The problem is that you’re too stiff,” Kyle whispered near her and for some reason, she was having goosebumps all over her body.

‘What is this!’ she mused annoyingly with the unfamiliar feeling.

“Ahhh what did my dad and brother tell you?” she asked, trying to ease the weird sensations building up inside her. She thought that she was feeling that way because it was the first time she got near a man, in such close proximity as this.

“Nothing much. Don’t worry… It’s not something that I can’t handle,” Kyle answered as he gently placed his hand on hers and added, “Swing like this…”

“Ohhh… okay…” Sarah murmured, stuttering.

“You’re lucky to have a wonderful family Sarah, she heard Kyle added. Sarah could feel the hint of sadness in Kyle’s voice so she subconsciously turned her head to face him and their lips almost touched.

“Oh, I’m sorry…” she whispered but a bit startled hearing her mother’s voice.

“Oh, it’s so perfect!” Mrs. Huang burst loudly so both Sarah and Kyle looked in her direction.

And to Sarah’s horror, her mother was busy taking pictures of them, ambiguous pictures to be precise.

“Oh, God… I’m really sorry about this Kyle. I will soon rectify everything,” Sarah breathed in embarrassment.

Kyle chuckled and said, “I really don’t mind Sarah. I mean it’s okay if you still need me then I’m willing to help you out like this anytime…”

“But I don’t want this to drag on…” Sarah murmured.
