Chapter 786: AN AWKWARD FEELING
Eating Together with Candice and Lexus would have been quite enjoyable for Kia if only she wasn't too nervous and looked like someone who was going to be attacked at any given moment. After all, she noticed the two of them wanted to ask questions she couldn't answer or things she was reluctant to share, even though they didn't bring up any topic that made her feel cornered until then.
And after the second dessert, Kia relaxed a little when she realized that the two of them had kept their words to heart and didn't ask further about things she was reluctant to share.
They only asked where she lived and after Kia said she was living with her friend and told them that she was estranged from her family they no longer touched on the topic because they realized that Kia was getting so tense because of it.
Kia didn't mention Mika at all, in which case Misha didn't say anything about their daughter either, as if they both had agreed upon that beforehand. Anyway, Kia felt calm because Misha could read the situation without her asking him to.
Kia was still not ready to discuss Mika with Misha's parents.
"I'm quite amazed you can get such a nice girl like Kia," commented Lexus as they were about to separate after eating. Misha could see that Kia was feeling uncomfortable and cut the meeting short, telling his parents that they both wanted to explore this area. He told them that Kia wanted to try horseback riding because she had never tried it before.
Which was true, because Kia had said that many years ago when they were together for that very short period.
However, what surprised her was the fact that Misha still remembered those words. It also left Kia a little speechless realizing how good his memory was.
"Of course, a great man will find a great woman," Misha said proudly of himself and also Kia in just one sentence, which left Lexus speechless.
Misha had a hard time finding romantic words, but he certainly didn't find it difficult to find the right words to brag about himself.
"Okay then, be careful," Candice said, putting a stop to the two Tordoff boys' banter. She then hugged her tightly and kissed her both cheeks gently. "I hope we will meet again, I really like to chat with you."
Kia looked surprised when she got a kiss on the cheek, but then she nodded, agreeing to this, even though she didn't know if she would ever want to meet them again or not.
After that, Misha grabbed Kia's hand and they both left before the Tordoff couple.
"How do you feel?" Misha asked, checking on Kia's condition as she seemed to be quiet. "Are you okay?"
"Yes," she replied curtly, but then added. "They're so much fun."
Misha glanced at Kia for a moment, he wanted to ask further, because he wanted to know what she was really thinking, but then he abandoned his intention and opened the car door for her.
"Where are we going?" asked Kia who just realized that Misha took her to the parking lot instead of going to their room.
"I told you we were going horse riding," said Misha lightly, holding the car door for Kia until she got inside. "You thought I was just making excuses?"
Kia didn't answer that, because that was what she thought earlier, and then got into the car. "Are we really going to see horses?" asked Kia again to make sure with a slightly hopeful voice. Well, she wasn't lying when she said she wanted to try horseback riding before. It hadn't changed, just been a bit forgotten because so much had happened to her in the last four years.
"Of course," answered Misha as he started the car and he could see that Kia looked excited when she found out about it. She looked out of the window and commented on the beautiful view of the mountains. She even squealed with delight when they were almost at the ranch, where several horses were grazing there.
"Oh!" Kia widened her eyes when she saw the horses running. "My parents once went on vacation to a ranch, but I had to take a follow-up exam because I failed in two subjects. I couldn't go with them."
Misha glanced at Kia, he was quite surprised, but had also anticipated this. Only, he still couldn't figure out how her parents could leave their child alone at home while they went on a holiday.
"Why don't they wait until you finish the exam and then go together?" Everyone who had common sense would think the same.
"No way," said Kia in a weak voice. She looked a little sad as she answered, as if she was becoming a teenage version of herself and was telling Misha how she had been left behind. "Because my brother was on vacation at the time and Alia was just out of the hospital, so they said it was the right time to take a vacation, too bad I had to repeat some subjects."
Her parents regretted it, but in the end they said it was her fault that she didn't do well in her exams and told her that next time she should do better.
"They say, despite my brother's busy activities, he still managed to do well in his exams." Kia's voice sounded dreamy, as if she was talking to herself.
Daniel did have various activities, but those were the things that he liked, while Kia had many responsibilities that she must fulfill, such as taking care of the house and taking care of all of their meals, helping Alia and literally, she became the person her parents could rely on.
"I can't study because I have to wait upon Alia at the hospital." They were not a very wealthy family and the room where Alia was being treated was not a VIP room where you would be comfortable spending the night, especially for a teenager who had to study for exams after fulfilling her responsibilities at home.
