Chapter 69: Chapter 69 . Sharing the same space
Kailen did not know how to reply the little girl .
" Why did I have to tell him to pick up the call?"
He was okay with helping Micheal ,but moving into his apartment?. Kailen was a loner at core. He may have been open to friendships now ,but wasn’t this too big of a step?
However since this little girl was asking, he couldn’t afford to say no right?
Before Kailen however had the opportunity to even respond, Arrie chimed in
" Hello, little sweetheart... Of course Daddy can move in with Uncle Kailen. Aren’t you a cute little one?" However Arrie was to regret the path about calling Felicia cute sooner or later. The girl may have been cute, but not her mouth.
Kailen sighed inwardly
" Women huh. Always trouble makers"
Micheal stood by the side ,completely shocked " Felicia, apologize to uncle right now"
He turned to look at Kailen "Sir, please I’m okay with the help you’ve already decided to provide.i wouldn’t want to inconvenience you. Please, don’t listen to the little girl, she could be troublesome at times"
Micheal was not just being polite. He seriously didn’t want to take advantage of Kailen’s kindness .
Mr Darkhaven had done more than enough for him and his family.
Little Felicia pouted with her little figure on the phone " Uncle don’t mind dady. Since uncle’s wife says dady can move in , dady can move in right?"
Kailen ,Arrie and Micheal almost coughed a mouthful of blood.
How could such words come out of the mouth of a seven year old?
Arrie and Kailen had extremely red cheeks.
Surprisingly, they both felt kind of happy that Felicia had addressed them as a couple.
Inasmuch as they were both embarrassed from Felicia’s words, they both didn’t feel like denying her statement, as if they would hurt each other’s feelings by doing so.
" Am I really starting to like her ?"
" Am I really starting to like him?"
Kailen and Arrie had similar thoughts.
Before they both had the chance to reply Felicia the little girl said something out of line again.
" See, Uncle Kailen and aunt Arrie seem to have red cheeks. They seem to be sick . If you move in with them ,you could prepare that soup you always prepare for me when I have a cold for them. Right"
" This..."
Micheal sighed ,shaking his head dejectedly . If he tried to stop this little girl, she would say something worse than she had done previously .
" There goes my chance of being helped. This girl’s mouth is sometimes too much "
However contrary to his expectations , what he heard Kailen say next shocked him " Of course. Dady can move in with Uncle"
Kailen was worried that if this dragged on any further, Felicia would say something worse than she had said previously.
Since it was the little girl asking and he couldn’t afford to say no to her, he might as well get it over with.
Micheal stared wide eyed at Kailen, then at Felicia who winked to him.
Micheal’s eyes widened in realisation " This girl heard the conversation between me and her mum?. It seems she hid somewhere outside the door of the kitchen and didn’t go to the hall to watch television. This girl ceased the opportunity with Kailen being present to help me out. However I feel ashamed that my daughter had to hear something like that about me. Never mind, I just have become stronger with this opportunity I’ve gotten so that I am not out into such a pathetic situation again" freewёbnoνel.com
He smiled at his daughter, then winked back at her .
Micheal made an I love you sign with his hand , to which Felicia replied with a kiss that could topple mountains.
Even Kailen and Arrie couldn’t help but chuckle on seeing this scene.
Micheal ended the call , then stared at Kailen and Arrie not knowing what to say.
" He probably wants to ask me if he should move in as soon as possible "
Kailen figured . " Mr Micheal, you can move in as soon as possible"
" Very well sir. Let me fetch my bag as soon as possible "
*****
This was what had led to the current scene.
Never had Kailen imagined that things would turn out this way.
Arrie had taken Felicia’s number from Micheal and had called the little girl to chat with her.
As for Micheal, he was currently moving into his new room.
Even Arrie herself found Kailen’s apartment extremely attractive.
The amount of student credits it would have taken to get an apartment of this callibre was astronomical . Just what had Kailen done these past few days after arriving at the University that warranted him with such astronomical amounts of credits?. This guy was just full of surprises.
However her eyes seemed to widen the next second.
" Were you the one who messed up the Ashen club members?"
Kailen chuckled, stared at her incredulously ,then shook his head " Let your imagination run wild"
" You are not denying it though"
Kailen chuckled " Did I deny it?"
He had no intention of hiding it from anyone, especially Arrie.
" Hehe. You devil. It’s good you taught those snobs a lesson"
" What can I say. I’m a patriotic and upright citizen of our nation" Kailen voiced with feigned uprightness.
" Uncle and aunt, please, save the romance for tonight!. Aunt and I are having a conversation here"
"This..."
" What kind of movies have you been watching Felicia?"
Kailen shook his head, turned around and headed towards the balcony ,attempting to hide his flushed cheek.
If people saw the usually cold ,unfazed Kailen right now,they’d narrow their eyes in unbelief.
He had completely lost his cool.
As for Arrie, she was laughing at Kailen who had turned to leave .
" So predictable . Hehehe. Young man, child, newbie.. hey... Hehehehee"
Arrie was not doing so well herself, however Kailen was doing worse than her.
She therefore decided to dispel the awkwardness with teasing Kailen .
She couldn’t necessarily call Kailen a virgin infront of the little girl . So she opted for words like young man, child, newbie.
However Kailen caught wind of what she meant.
" I’m proud of being one okay. Besides I’m focusing on other things. I don’t have time for those things now . Also what sort of movies have that seven year old girl been watching." He mused inwardly as he stood on the balcony, his hands resting on the railing.
[Hehehe. Gotta say, that girl Arrie Hall can really pull you heartstrings. Rooting for you, newbie]
Kailen was shocked. Even the time dilation artifact was now teasing him?
However for some reason, a warm feeling shrouded Kailens heart.
This familiar feeling was not a romantic one. Neither was it tensious like he felt occasionally recently around Arrie.
It was just...warm. His house,had kinda grown warm.
He only felt this way around his parents in the past, and recently around Arrie when they had normal friendly conversations.
" Perhaps, this isn’t too bad?"
*******
" Kailen Darkhaven is a monster , uncle "
Reynolds chuckled, intrigued .
Charles stared at the expression of his uncle on the video call with a questioning expression.
Reynolds replied " Can I not be shocked. This is the first time you’ve admitted that there’s someone more monstrous than you. Well if it’s Kailen Darkhaven it makes sense. Even I have to admit that that kid is a monster"
"Because he beat your record?"Charles asked.
"That and more. He can exchange a few blows with me now. Give him a few more months and I don’t think I’ll be able to defeat him"
Charles widened his eyes in shock. There was a reason why his uncle was the president of the federation. He was the strongest S ranked at the moment humanity had. In a world where strength was everything, it was only natural his uncle was elected as the president.
Also even amongst S ranked, there were differences in strength .
His uncle stood at the pinnacle . And yetz he was saying that Kailen Darkhaven could exchange blows with him now and would be able to defeat him in a few months time?
" Don’t think this is absurd. Don’t let your admiration for me cloud your judgement. This guy awakened about a month or so ago ,and he’s now a B ranked awakener. From the videos circulating around, which knowing you, I’m sure you even watched them before they went extremely viral today, you saw how he effortlessly destroyed an A ranked guild with a single attack with that S ranked obsidian wyvern he summoned. Also, those creatures he summoned at that small city’s Awakener’s centre ,were not all his creatures.
He has a few in his arsenal. With the combined strength of these creatures, Kailen can exchange some blows with me, given a few more months, with his monstrous breakthrough speed and his S ranked talent, what do you think will happen?"
" He will surpass you uncle. I was being shortsighted. However I now get you. I knew he was monstrous, but I didn’t analyse it from this perspective . It seems a commotion will occur in the federation very soon with him around. Does it mean that very soon he will become a national Guardian level S ranked awakener?"
