Chapter 209 enThe Love Of David.Arriving at Chelsea's House. The girl was already waiting for him on the porch. Then David, no need to enter the house, but when David's car stopped in front of the gate. Chelsea immediately walked from sitting and approached the man.Speechless, Chelsea got into the back seat. Do you want to do anything natural? Treating everything as if it were nothing was not easy. Especially what was disappointing, after the incident that night was still too imprinted in Chelsea's memory."Put your seatbelt on," David said, breaking the silence."Okay, David," Chelsea replied without looking at the man. She often looked down or out the window.David didn't drive his car. He glanced at Chelsea. He was giving attention to the look on her face despite wearing thin makeup clearly visible, but her face was a little pale.“You're not sick, are you?” David asked. He tried to show his attention to the girl.“No, I am not sick.” There was a slight smile adorning her lips
Chapter 210 enDavid's Decision.Seconds Change minutes. Minutes stop the clock. Hours change days. Chelsea didn''t think it's time for Chelsea to go. Her time off was over, it's time to prepare for his departure to Malaysia to study.As usual Chelsea received a phone call from Daniel. Since the man's departure to Singapore, every night the two of them always took the time to make phone calls, asking how they was doing. They had been texting each other all day.Same with tonight. If holding the phone with her left hand then raised and brought to the face."Hello, good night Daniel”" Chelsea said as she sat on the bed leaning on a pillow looking for a position as comfortable as possible. Then, she was staring at the face exposed on the screen of her phone. He made video call with Daniel Kim."Hello Chelsea, good night, what are you doing?" the man asked. They stared at each other virtually. It was never get bored even though they were do it every day.“I've just finished packing the
211.In the morning, David was busy sorting through his closet. He was unsure of what outfit to wear to meet Chelsea this morning. There were suits, sweaters, and several shirts already cluttering his bed. In reality, none of the options seemed suitable to him."Wait," David mumbled, scratching the back of his head, which wasn't itchy. He suddenly remembered that the event with Chelsea this morning was a morning run together. Once again, he tried to calm himself. Even if it was a morning run, if Chelsea reciprocated his feelings, wouldn't it become a significant memory? David couldn't possibly wear just any clothes for such an important occasion.He resumed perusing his closet. David settled on a black sports shirt and light blue shorts. He also chose matching sneakers, a watch, and a black cap.Fifteen minutes were enough for David to complete his morning rituals in the bathroom and put on the chosen outfit. Currently, he was examining his face in the mirror while drying his hair. He
212.Chelsea looked out the window. She was on her way to Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Tears welled up and rolled down her cheeks. The reality was so bitter; how could David do it on purpose? Should she report it to the police? Oh no, that wouldn't be feasible. It would only worsen her relationship with the Kim family. What should she do then?Chelsea wiped the tears from her cheeks with her right hand. Her eyes gazed down at the clouds below. The afternoon was almost over, transitioning into the twilight of the evening sky.["Passengers, ladies and gentlemen, as we begin our descent, please ensure your seatbacks and tray tables are in their full upright position. Also, make sure your seatbelt is securely fastened and all carry-on items are stowed under the seat in front of you or in the overhead bins. Thank you."]Subsequently, the plane began to land.Chelsea disembarked the plane along with the other passengers. She walked through each corridor at the airport, and she was ta
213.Love Expression.Dew-kissed leaves. Morning sun veiled by cloudy skies. A gentle breeze carries a chilly mountain air. At Tuan Kim's Villa.A cup of warm tea and a sandwich grace the table. Tuan Kim and Mr. Joe sit on the porch, observing the morning drizzle."Is David still here?" Tuan Kim asks, seeing his grandson's car parked beside another."It seems Mr. David is still here. He might still be sleeping, possibly due to the cold weather," Mr. Joe replies. He's puzzled; David hasn't left his room since yesterday. The young man missed lunch, dinner together, and even this morning, he's yet to leave his room."Is David unwell? Tuan Kim inquires again, concerned his grandson might have caught the flu during this transitional season."I'll go upstairs to check, Sir," Mr. Joe suggests, as he doesn't know David's current state."No need, just call the prosecutor's office, inquire about their preparations for tomorrow's trial. I'll go see David," Tuan Kim commands."Alright, Sir," Mr.
214. Clouds in David's Heart.David's eyes stared blankly at his phone. He had called his older brother Daniel several times. Yet, there was no response from Daniel. It was as if he intentionally ignored his calls."Damn it! Did Chelsea accept your love, David? Are you both happy tonight?" David mumbled, trying to make peace with himself. To lessen his curiosity about them. But it was all in vain, because every time he looked at his phone, the only number he wanted to dial was Daniel's. He really wanted to know. Did Chelsea accept Daniel's love?Once again, David tried to call Daniel's number. Now, to his dismay, Daniel's number was no longer active. That made him extremely frustrated. "Could it be that Daniel took Chelsea to a hotel? Oh no, that's impossible, right? Daniel couldn't possibly do that!" he grumbled.David, who had been sitting at the edge of his bed, stood up and moved to the balcony. Even with the AC turned on and the clock showing it was almost 10 PM, David felt hot.
215.Time flew by so quickly. Second by second, day by day, David went through it all. He tried to focus on his work. He decided to start his own venture in Jakarta with Kim Jewelry.Although it was just the beginning, Mr. Kim fully supported his plans and work initiatives. Of course, he provided the main support and funding. He was completely confident that David would be responsible for whatever he would do in the future.This week, David was busy with the launch of the first jewelry design that would take place early next month. He often met with models who would become the stars of the jewelry advertisement he was about to launch. He felt numb about the beauty and charm of the women around him; only Chelsea was in his thoughts and mind.David's phone rang, there was a call from Jesslyn. He quickly answered the call from his younger sister."Hello," David greeted warmly. He activated the loudspeaker mode."Hello, Daniel. Can you come to the event tomorrow?" Jessica asked, making
216.“Daniel, Chelsea is wearing her seatbelt,” David requested. He was sitting behind the wheel, with Daniel and Chelsea in the back seats.“Okay!”After making sure that the two in the back had fastened their seatbelts, David started the car’s engine and drove it out of the airport parking area.The car moved at a moderate speed. Occasionally, David glanced at the rearview mirror to observe the two in the back seat. Everything seemed normal as Daniel and Chelsea sat quietly.However, David’s heart began to burn with jealousy when he saw the two holding hands. It wasn’t just that; he noticed they exchanged secret smiles even though they weren’t talking.“David,” Daniel called.“Yes,” David replied, trying to appear as natural as possible.“Let’s eat first. We didn’t have a chance to eat earlier,” Daniel said.“Okay, where would you like to eat?” David offered. So far, he had always respected his older brother, held him in high regard, as that’s what their grandfather had taught him.
