Chapter 217: BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION VI

"You look like you wanted to strangle someone." Jillyanna whispered to Cayenne and followed her line of sight, seeing a handsome young man talking to Emerald. "You don't like him?"

Cayenne took a sip of her wine and nodded her head. "I used to like him but I stopped liking him five years ago. However, my mother likes him a lot. I believe she invited him today."

"So, he is Stefan's love rival?" Riley asked when she passed by them and heard their conversation. "I don't think he's got a chance to win you over even if your mom likes him."

"I don't think either." Cayenne replied. "I didn't even consider him as Stefan's rival. For me, no one can replace his position in my heart. Not even a man that my mother likes for me. If I don't like him then, that's the end of the story."

Riley gave her a thumbs up and smile. "Stefan is very lucky to have you."

"True." Jillyanna added in agreement.

The three of them chatted happily on the side. Stefan was with Travis, talking about some thing that only the two of them understands. This time, since it's a pool party, Travis decided to leave Raizel to his grandparents. Only Jade came along with them.

Valkyrie and Brown were sitting on the edge of the pool, talking to Luiz about his study. Brown was a smart man and Luiz was the same. The two of them could totally converse with whatever subject they could think about.

The atmosphere was very cheerful despite the fact that Arthur was there, too. Stefan ignored him as if this annoying fly didn't exist. Cayenne did the same. Whenever Arthur tried to approach her, she'd do her best to avoid him. In the end, he could only approach Kyle to chat with.

But even with Kyle, he can feel that the man didn't want to talk to him.

"Kyle, why do you hate me?" Arthur suddenly asked which caught Kyle off-guard.

His mouth was gaping to say something but he couldn't find the right choice of words. "Why do you ask that question? Do I look like I hate you?" Kyle questioned back with faint chuckle.

"If you don't, why do I feel like you're avoiding me? Only Luiz and Auntie remained normal. Did I do something wrong? I ought to know it in order to correct it, don't you think so?" 

Arthur was very insistent about it so, Kyle decided to spill the beans. In any case, it happened five years ago and Cayenne already have someone else in her heart. "Arthur, what do you think of our family?"

"You're a big happy family, I guess."

Kyle looked into a far distance with no specific thing in sight. "We were. We're a happy family. We're contented of what we have but it changed fifteen years ago. Our parents got separated and our mother needs to work for the whole family. When Cayenne reached the legal age, she started working to help us while also studying. She's very diligent and kind. She didn't care about what other people think of our status. She's fine being looked down by everyone else because there's that one person who cares for her despite their status gap, and that was you. My sister looked up to you because you didn't look down on us. However, your mother didn't like you to befriend us or my sister in specific. She told Yen to stay away from you and she didn't want to do it at first but, you left. And I thought that it was just your mother who thought that way but, you also think of that, right? You think we're leeching off of you in the past and now, you think that we're leeching off on Stefan. Am I right?"

Arthur turned quiet beside him. He was looking on his hand and then he looked toward Stefan. "Did you know something that happened recently between me and Cayenne?"

"Hn. Someone told me about it."

Arthur faintly nodded his head. "I didn't mean to say those words to her." He started. "I just didn't want to give her to Stefan. I liked her so much but, I said the wrong thing out of selfishness." He turned to Kyle with self-loathing and guilt. "Kyle, I didn't know about what my mother did that time but I know of what I did and I am very conscious about it. I want to say sorry to her but she didn't want to see me anymore."

"That's very expected after what you said." Kyle retorted. "Anyway, I won't interfere with my sister's decision and I won't help you with her either. I can see that she's happy with Stefan so, I hope you can give up on her. I don't want you to be tied to the past."

"I understand." Arthur muttered. 'Give up?! Huh. You want me to give up? Dream on! I won't let anyone have Yen. She's mine. If you won't help me then, don't.' Arthur's dark thoughts echoed in his mind but he kept a guilty and a little sad face in front of them.

Kath was listening the whole time and she was truly surprised to hear it from them. She had no idea that the always-kind and always-loving Cayenne experienced something so heartbreaking. And to think, it came from the person she once trusted the most.

The party continued without any hitch or problem at all. Everyone was happily eating and drinking to their heart's contents. There were games with many prizes. There were on the spot-performance presentation wherein Jillyanna sang a song for Emerald. It was great time.

Not far from the venue, a waiter was standing silently while observing the party. There was a smile on his lips as he looked at the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in her life.

"You won't go and talk to her?" a prominent lady came and spoke to him.

"I'm fine looking at them in a far distance. As long as they're safe and sound, I won't ask for anything else."

"Alright. Then, will you change your clothes already? We have to go." The woman said with patience. "I'll wait for you in the car."
