The Law of Attraction Chapter 656

Cris left in a hurry after dinner, not letting Brix drive her. Brix watched her leave in haste, wondering why Cris wouldn’t let him drop her off to where she was going. He heaved a sigh, wondering if it was a sigh of frustration or relief since he had been unable to tell Cris the truth.

“I will tell her tomorrow,” he whispered as he stood up to clear the table.

Cris bit her lower lip as she typed a message to Brix. She must keep Master Jack’s condition confidential so she could not allow Brix to drop her off at the hospital.

[I’m sorry for rushing out like this. There’s an emergency with a friend of mine and I don’t want to bother you about it. I will see you tomorrow. Have a good night’s sleep.]

[No worries. I will see you tomorrow Cris. If you need a pickup, just message me otherwise please call me as soon as you are home safe.]

Cris’ face flushed and she felt so overwhelmed after reading Brix’s thoughtful message. She pinched herself inside the cab and winced in pain. She did not know how many times she had pinched herself already, like when she woke up from slumber and found herself naked under the blanket in Brix’s apartment.

She had lost her virginity to Brix but she did not have any regrets at all because she had given herself to a man she had loved for so long. She had a lovely smile on her face which also turned deep red as she recalled the wonderful experience she had with Brix. The two of them were officially in a relationship, according to Brix, so she need not be shy.

Later, she was planning to inform Kenzie about it so she would not be surprised just in case she would see her with Brix.

She arrived at the hospital just when Master Jack once again opened his eyes.

“Oh, Cris is here!” Master Jack commented with a smile and Cris nodded teary-eyed. She had been informed that Master Jack could not remember all events from the past few months.

Kenzie had asked her to summarize everything pertaining to the company to Master Jack. It was also up to Cris to update him as to why Kenzie now sat at the Chairman and CEO position after replacing him.

“I see. I can’t recall a lot of things then, but I trust Kenzie with the company wholeheartedly, but not with the marriage part. I still can’t believe that I pushed my daughter to marry so early. But I know the possibility for me to come up to that decision knowing how irresponsible my daughter can be.”

“Excuse me, dad. Correction… I’m very responsible and competent. Cris will attest to that and you even praised me before going for the surgery, with full knowledge about my progress.”

Jack chuckled and then stubbornly roared, “Still! I’m still not convinced by that man, Daryl Cha. My daughter is too precious and not anyone deserves her. I will skin that man alive before I let him call me father-in-law.”

Kenzie chuckled. No wonder her husband Daryl was so worried.

“Dad, you will like him. Besides, you did cheer for him to work hard and give you a grandchild, so how come you’re acting like this now. My poor husband will sleep alone now since you won’t let me go home with him,” Kenzie mumbled with pouty lips.

“Ah, let him miss you more then!” Jack scoffed.

Kenzie shook her head and murmured, “I guess you already changed your mind about asking for a grandchild this soon.”

Cris laughed hearing the bantering between father and daughter. It had been a while and she missed witnessing it. Her savior Master Jack was doing fine already and the memories he had lost did not matter as long as he was in one piece and not suffering after the surgery.

Kenzie and Cris discussed some important matters regarding the company while sitting at the couch and Master Jack looked at the two intently.

“Is it true Mark? That my daughter has really grown up this well now?” he asked with a smile on his face.

“Yes Master Jack and you are so proud of her. In the short time that she’s been managing the company, well, everything is really going well. Remember how you always hesitated in matters pertaining to your employees… Miss Kenzie is the opposite. Her approach is aggressive as soon as she balances out the pros and cons. Cris tells me that she’s doing a really great job. She is doing justice to both the Chairman and Vice-Chairman position.”

Jack nodded.

“About Daryl. Ah never mind. I trust my daughter and believe she has a good eye for people. She chose Daryl so I guess the man is worthy of her affection.” Jack added with a pinched face, making butler Mark chuckled.

“You don’t look so convinced though Master, but Miss Kenzie is telling the truth, you did like attorney Daryl Cha and you are cheering for him to work hard and give you a grandchild soon.”

“You don’t have to remind me about that Mark. Let him sleep alone tonight. Tomorrow, if I happen to be in a good mood then I will let Kenzie go home to him.” Jack muttered with a crumpled face. He was still doubtful and he was hoping he could at least remember the man his daughter married.

Meanwhile, when Kenzie and Cris were done, she immediately told Cris to go home and rest. Kenzie grabbed her mobile phone to return Daryl’s missed call from a while ago when she had been discussing important matters with Cris.

It was a video call. Dary messaged her that he was already home. After two rings, Daryl answered. 

“Are you going to sleep now? Sorry darling, my phone was on silent mode so I only saw the missed calls after I finished talking with Cris.”

“I miss you,” Kenzie said with a smile.

“I feel lonely here,” Daryl mumbled. He was already in bed, alone. Kenzie chuckled. The two talked more before Kenzie hung up the phone when her father called her.

Daryl sighed and thought of ways to woo his father-in-law who did not seem too fond of him in his current state. Tomorrow he planned to go to the hospital early in the morning and bring everyone breakfast and fresh fruits for his father-in-law. He closed his eyes, hoping he could sleep soon in spite of feeling empty without Kenzie in his arms.
