Chapter 610: More chaos to come.
"What are you talking about? Marriage!!!" she asked. Marriage was not something you suddenly decided on out of the blue without even dating or attempting to. Unless it was a marriage of convenience or an arranged one. What exactly were these two thinking?
"She wants to marry me, I said yes. You will never have to decide which one of us has to leave you." he said, rather harshly.
"Stop it!" she said sternly. "Don’t put this on me, I did not tell you to marry bear all I said was talk to her. And the choosing thing, I only said because if you two continued on this path them down the road, she would most likely leave and I did not want to see that happening."
"It’s a done deal." he said. He sort of looked pained, as if he was being asked to peel his own skin off of his body. She did not want to be the source of his misery. These two were going to give her a major migraine.
"I will talk to Bear."
Spider turned around to face her abruptly and he said loudly, "No, stay out of it. We will handle our business our way." Then, he softened his voice because Little monk wiggled a bit.
"You don’t need to be in the middle of this boss, I have known her longer than you have. Me and her, we will deal with our own issues. You have given us a semblance of family and home, neither she nor I wish to ever cause our weird family to split up."
More than the young ones in the group, he, old tiger, bear, piggy, monkey and squirrel knew how difficult life was for them in the orphanage. The constant rejections, the lack of food or warmth. Having to wear patched clothes, being mocked at school for being orphans, having no option but to do the worst jobs no one wanted because they were un educated, un wanted and un loved. They were taken advantage of, beaten, broken.
She took them from that, accepted and elevated them. If Kiki had not found her, she would probably be dead or in prison by now.
