270 Chapter 270: Sounds Good (1/2)
Kylie was more than a little surprised when Ethan pulled up outside of a bar. By this time, though, she had given up on questions, and so she simply allowed him to lead her inside. Once they were seated, Ken ordered a Bottle of Coors Light, and Kylie asked for whiskey on the rocks, smirking at his 'baby drink.'
The drinks arrived after a few minutes, and they each took a sip. Ken had his eyes on the door, so Kylie looked there as well, but neither said a word to the other. As of yet, he had not told her why they were there, and she wasn't interested in anything else that he might have to say.
The longer they sat there though, the more anxious Kylie began to feel. Ken had put her in a lose-lose situation. If they caught Ethan doing something dishonest, she would be forced to confront him. On the other hand, if this was another one of Ken's scams, then she would have to deal with him. That being said, she hoped that it was Ken who was acting the cad.
Stay calm, she told herself.
Gradually, as she sipped at her whiskey in silence, her thoughts strayed, and her imagination took the wheel. She wondered who would win if Ken and Ethan got into a fight. She played out different scenarios as to why Ethan might have lied to her, and why Ken couldn't just tell her.
Every once in a while, Ken opened his phone and checked it for messages. It seemed that he was waiting for a signal or something. Finally, the silence between them grew to be too much, and she asked him if he knew about Khloe's current situation?”
”She's fine,” Ken replied without thinking. ”She's pregnant with Matthew Parker's baby. Don't worry about her. She's taken care of and, once she has the baby, she won't have the time or energy to be so nosey and bitchy.”
Kylie's eyes went wide. She hadn't known that Khloe was pregnant. She said, ”Matthew is an old man. How is that even possible?”
Ken rolled his eyes. He shook his head and said, ”Matthew drank an aphrodisiac that day. Otherwise, I doubt he could have even popped a chubby!”
Kylie laughed a little, but it was short-lived.
Ken looked at her seriously and asked her if she'd watched the DVD he'd given her. She admitted that she hadn't. In truth, she had pretty much forgotten all about it. After all, DVDs were pretty much an outdated medium. If you wanted someone to want to watch a video, you sent it to them through Facebook Messenger.
”Does it have anything to do with Khloe's baby?” she wondered.
”Khloe is saying the father is Matthew,” he replied, ”but I am the actual biological father!”
Hearing this, Kylie faced him with a confused look on her face. ”If she is carrying your baby,” she wondered, ”Why is she saying that it belongs to Matthew?”
”Never mind that,” Ken replied. ”I don't even know why I mentioned it. Let's head back to the car.”
Kylie smiled as she sat back. ”I don't believe it,” she laughed, ”but I won't push you. I might begin to though if I don't get some answers. You said we were in a rush, yet we had the time to stop at the pub for a drink? What the literal fuck? I am beginning to lose my patience!”
Ken didn't say anything. He just started the car and began to drive away. Then, after about twenty minutes, they arrived in front of a six-story building. Ken pointed to a room on the fourth floor and said, ”Your man is up there.”
