Chapter 211: Karsten’s Apparent Jealousy
(Karsten)
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that I wanted to pick up the gravy boat and pour all the gravy on Ranold’s snickering face.
It was his life’s mission to just flirt with every woman on the planet, no matter who she was. And the way he could just smooth talk and flash his cocky grin around, just pissed me off, especially when he did that with Arata.
I no longer had any claim on her, but I couldn’t see anyone flirting with her, especially my best friend.
"Maybe, focus on your food, Ranold..or you might spill some on your clothes," I said through gritted teeth and Ma, who was cutting into her meat, paused to glance at me.
First skeptically, and then she smiled rather evilly as if she had hit a jackpot.
"Jesus! My son is actually jealous." She reached out and grabbed my hand. "You are jealous of Ranold even speaking to Arata." Her twinkling eyes wavered from me to her.
"Truly, you have spun his world and achieved what no one else has. Today, I glimpsed the depth of his love for you." Ma announced gleefully to Arata.
I couldn’t remember when I had seen her this happy. My heart ached at the thought of when the truth would be revealed and her happiness would be squashed.
Clearly, I had never anticipated her to approve of my relationship or become this invested in it. Arata was a smart, beautiful and adorable girl, and she knew how to make others fall in love with her.
In a true sense, she had achieved what no one had. Not only did she creep into my heart, she crawled into my mother’s too, and now both of us couldn’t let her go.
