Chapter 38: Becoming Redundant
Arya received an unexpected call from Attorney Lim regarding her father’s case, and she was happy to hear the good news. The final verdict would be announced in four days, and Attorney Lim assured her that it’s definitely a ’not guilty’ verdict.
She was humming happily as she went to Ryu who was busy in the kitchen.
"Do you need help?" She asked, smiling.
She was actually the one who caught that marlin while Ryu quickly announced that he will be the one to cook it.
"No, just stroll around first, and I will have someone to call you once it’s ready," Ryu answered still busy with cooking. He was trying to cook a grilled marlin with tropical fruit salsa.
Arya’s was overjoyed with the handsome man in front of her who was taking care of her like she was a queen. She walked to him and unconsciously wrapped her arms around Ryu’s waist from the back.
"Can we go back soon, maybe, after 3 to 4 days? I want to see my dad." She said with a sigh. She would love to be there to witness everything.
Ryu froze, he did not know how to react and what to say. He knew why Arya wanted to go back but he was actually scared to let her go back.
"Is it very important?" Ryu asked simply. He was waiting if Arya would open up to him.
Arya sighed and replied, "Yup, it’s very important. I must see him on that day."
"I see. I hope I can meet him too. It would be nice if I can accompany you, so we will be able to meet each other." Ryu said plainly, trying not to sound too obvious in his sentences.
