Chapter 166 - Not until you accept it (1/2)

"Come on!" Jack groaned. He was unable to accept the fact that his almighty father was acting like a lovestruck idiot.

Dragging his father along, he snapped, "You are hanging out with us today! I don't care!"

Lyle and Quinn followed closely behind those two.

DX glanced helplessly at Kai Xin who merely smiled and waved at him. With a sigh, he shouted, "I'll be back soon!"

As he was dragged all over the place by the three children, Kai Xin and Callum waited inside a cafe.

"Hey..." said Callum out of nowhere. When Kai Xin looked at him, he continued with a sheepish tone, "About last time... I really didn't mean to see you....you know..."

"It's fine. Besides, I punished you enough for that."

Callum took out the old jade pendant that he wore around his neck. As he rubbed it, he said, "I still feel bad about it."

"You don't have to."

He shook his head as he took her right hand, "People from the Shenlong Family would never do inappropriate things to a woman without her permission. If you were not taken, I'd take responsible for you..."

Kai Xin was speechless by the turn of events.

"Errr..."

Placing the pendant on her hand, he sighed, "Anyway, take this. Take it as my apology."

She looked at the pendant and noticed that parts of it were rubbed smooth. It must have been a beloved heirloom.

Passing it back, she said clearly, "I'd not take it."

Callum nodded. He stood up and to her horror, he kneel in front of her.

"If you refused to take it, then I'd have no choice but to take responsibility for you at the risk of death!"

Kai Xin gaped at him. She tried to make him stand but he would not budge.

The passersby were whispering among themselves as they watched the two.

Embarrassed, she hissed, "Callum! Get up!"

He lifted the pendant, "Not until you accept it."

Left with no choice, she grabbed the thing and put it around her necklace.

"Happy now? Get up!!!"

Callum nodded. As if nothing ever happened, he sat down and drank his coffee quietly.

Kai Xin suddenly felt tired as she slumped back down on the chair. Lately, she had been feeling a little more tiring than before.

Dealing with Callum's weird behavior made her wanted to climb back to bed and sleep.

When DX came back, she was fast asleep. He told Callum to bring the children back first as he carried her up princess style.

"Where are you going?" asked Jack with a pout.

"To continue our date. Go home now. I'd be back shortly."

"But-"

Quinn sighed dramatically and dragged him away with Lyle following closely behind them. Before he left, Callum winked at DX, "Enjoy!"

For some reason, DX felt like punching the guy.

He carried Kai Xin over to the Ferris Wheel.

"You know, I'm not an invalid."

Without breaking his stride, he glanced down briefly and nodded.

"Em."

"But you are not going to put me down right?"

"Smart."
