Chapter 323 Buying a car


After about 10 minutes, Maria finally calmed down and sat beside Kevin, bombarding him with questions.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "Are you hurt?"

"Where are you hurt?"

"How did you get hurt?"

"Why did you get hurt?"

"Were you being stupid?"

"Why did you do that? You could have been hurt!"

All her questions revolved around whether he was injured or if he had acted foolishly. Despite the repetitive nature of her inquiries, Kevin could see the genuine concern in her eyes, so he patiently answered each one without feeling any frustration.

Not wanting to worry her further, Kevin tried to change the subject. "Why are Aunt Emma and Lora here?" he asked, glancing at the two sleeping beauties - one his sister Riya, and the other, presumably his cousin Lora, under the blanket.

Meanwhile, Emma had returned to the washroom to get dressed.

Maria hesitated before explaining the reason for the two new women living in the house. It wasn't far from his guesses. As he suspected, Emma had caught her husband cheating on her. When she confronted him, he became violent. Fearing for her and her daughter's safety, she came to stay with her sister for a while.

"But still you can be a bit less harsh," he interjected, prompting Maria to shut her mouth in frustration. Turning to Emma with a stern expression, he continued, "Though mom's got a point, Auntie. You don't owe us anything; we're family, and families help each other out. And if you feel like you owe us anything, just flash us one of those beautiful smiles of yours, and we'll call it even."

Emma nodded and managed a faint smile, though it seemed forced and tinged with sadness. Kevin returned the nod, while Maria felt a pang of sadness seeing her sister in such a condition. It was clear that Emma was struggling, and Maria wished she could do more to help her through this difficult time.

But they couldn't just snap Emma out of her mood or erase what her husband had done. The atmosphere turned a bit awkward and somber as Emma looked down with a sad expression. Unable to stand the tension, Kevin spoke up first, his voice tinged with excitement. "Now folks, how about we celebrate my return with a full day out, shopping and all?"

"But you need rest," Maria said, her tone filled with concern as she heard him.

Kevin stood up, turning to Emma. "I've rested enough on the ride back home, Mom. Auntie, how about you and my worried mom get ready while I prepare for our day out?"

With that, he dashed out before hearing their response, leaving Emma a bit stunned as she looked at Maria with a questioning expression, silently asking what she should do.

Maria smiled reassuringly. "What? Didn't you hear him? Get ready! We're going to be out all day, so make sure you're wearing something comfortable for walking around."

With that directive, Maria went to wake up the sleeping beauties, while Kevin outside was engrossed in a phone call.

"Keyara, hey, sorry for the sudden call, but I need your help with something. Are you free?" he inquired, a smile spreading across his face as he received the response he was hoping for. "Awesome. How about joining me to buy a car? Do you know any good dealerships around here?"

As he listened to the response from the other end, he nodded along, occasionally interjecting with a "got it." Finally, with a smile, he concluded, "Great, I'll meet you there in about 20 minutes."

"Alright, see you soon," Kevin said, ending the call with Keyara.
