FULL NOVELXO Chapter 102 Little Fool, Are You Ready?
Linda listened to Sophia quietly. When Kara threw her out, Linda wanted to do something.
But seeing James, she felt a chill of fear and did not dare to do anything.
Now that Kara had reached adulthood, she was not in the custody of James. It was time to get everything of the Quain family back. Why could Kara have all the possessions of her eldest son?
Linda and Sophia reached an agreement. They would make Kara give them what they wanted on Kara's birthday!
After the college entrance examinations, Kara packed away the previous exam papers. She suddenly received a phone call.
It was from Arya.
"You are at the airport? Didn't you say that you would go abroad after the summer vacation?" Kara changed her clothes and went downstairs to seek help from Mason.
"I felt bored, so I did something, but it made my family impatient. So they wanted me to leave quickly." Arya said in an indifferent tone, but it worried Kara.
"Arya, wait for me. I'm coming to you."
Half an hour later, Kara hurried into the airport and finally found Arya in a corner.
Arya was going abroad, but she only took a small suitcase with her, and no one else came to see her off.
"Arya."
Kara held her hand. Then she found that Arya's eyes were red and swollen. Arya had just cried.
"What happened? Don't keep it to yourself. Tell me."
Arya stared at Kara for a while, her eyes turning red, "Kara, if I say that I like my cousin, will you feel disgusted?"
Kara stared at her dumbfounded.
Arya liked her cousin?
"Arya, you want to learn boxing. Is it because of your cousin?"
"Yes." Arya lowered her head. She had nothing to hide before her best friend.
"So why are you going abroad?" Kara sighed.
"He found that I had ruined his blind date. He said he hated me and didn't want to see me anymore. So I can only disappear from his view."
"Well..." Kara had no idea how to comfort her.
"It's okay. I will stay abroad for a few years, and then he will get married and have his children. I will meet a foreign handsome man. Maybe it will pass at that time." Arya wiped her tears and comforted herself with a bitter smile.
Kara felt that it was not that simple. She asked tentatively, "Are you two related by blood?"
"No. He's a relative of my stepmother," Arya explained.
Arya's mother died young, and her father remarried later. Her stepmother had been good to her, but Arya had always been missing her own mother, so she was not that close to her stepmother.
"Arya, I don't know anything about love. I don't know how to comfort you. But whatever you decide, I'm right behind you."
"I'm happy enough that you are here to see me off." The staff reminded passengers to board the plane. Arya calmed down and patted Kara on her shoulder.
"Kara, I can't spend your birthday with you. I'll send you the birthday gift after I get an idea."
Kara didn't care about the gift at all. She was on the verge of tears and lingeringly grabbed Arya's hands.
They grew up together and had been very close, so they felt sad to bid farewells.
They finally parted with reluctance.
Kara watched until the plane disappeared from view. She recalled what Arya had said to her before she left.
"After this birthday, you'd better keep James at a distance."
Keeping James at a distance?
James would be engaged to Kathleen in a month, and then it would be inappropriate for her, a grown-up woman, to live in his villa.
As Kara was about to leave the airport, she vaguely heard someone calling out Arya's name.
Kara turned around and saw a handsome man in military clothing. He looked cold and serious, carefully looking around.
Like an abandoned lion, he looked dangerous. He was looking around with red eyes.
Was he looking for Arya?
Arya once said that she had a cousin who was a soldier.
Arya decided to leave suddenly. She must be depressed.
Kara cared little about the man who made Arya angry.
After she got in the car, she did not return to the villa directly. Instead, she asked Mason to head for a law firm.
She found Henry, the lawyer who helped her father make a will.
Henry's eyes lit up when he saw her. His eyes were glued to her. He did not look away in embarrassment until Kara said that she wanted to transfer her shares. Henry was nervous, but he quickly covered it.
"Your shares of the Quain Group cannot be transferred yet."
Henry was entrusted with her father's will, and Kara trusted him. So although there was something strange, she did not think very hard about it.
"At present, I do not have the ability to manage the Quain Group, so I want to transfer the shares to someone competent. Uncle Chiu, can you help me?"
Henry was pot-bellied, much stouter than he was years ago. He patted Kara on her shoulder with his big fat hand.
"Of course I can help you. I am your father's best friend, and I also hope that the Quain Group is getting better. How about this? I will contact you someday, and let's talk about the transfer of shares. Is it OK?" "Thank you, Uncle Chiu." Kara felt uncomfortable and avoided his hand.
Then Kara left the law firm.
Henry gave Kara a calculating look as she was walking away. Then he quickly took out his phone.
When Kara arrived at the villa, James had returned. It was two hours earlier than usual.
"Uncle James, are you going on a business trip again?" Kara guessed.
"What makes you think that?"
James, who was reading a book, looked up at her.
"You got off work two hours earlier than usual. Didn't you come back to pack?" She sat down on the sofa next to him and wanted to see what book he was reading.
"Don't I have freedom of action?" James sighed.
Kara shrugged.
He had been so busy with his work, so it was surprising to see him at leisure.
"It is your birthday tomorrow. What present do you want?"
Kara's amber eyes flashed like starlight. She smiled, wanting to please him, "I will like whatever you give."
"Really?" James put down the book and led her to the study.
"I can't accept it if it is too expensive."
Kara laughed and sat opposite him.
"Open it."
James casually took out a delicate box and threw it to her.
Kara was curious. She opened the box and saw a necklace inlaid with pink diamonds. It was shining.
"Uncle James, it is so beautiful."
She took out the necklace and found that there was a black diamond ring in the middle of the necklace, "Uncle James, there is a ring on it."
"Do you like it?"
James sat lazily on the table, his right hand turning the black diamond ring on his left pinky.
"Uncle James, I find the abbreviation of my name on this ring and necklace. KQ."
Kara had painted a lot, and she had sharp eyes. She found some words carved on the back of the diamond ring. She held it against the sunlight and found the abbreviation of her name. She then looked at the necklace and found words on the back of the biggest diamond.
What a special gift!
James was happy that she liked it, but he seemed outwardly composed.
"Let me help put it on."
"OK."
Kara handed the necklace to him and stood in front of him.
James stared at the side of her face. He thought that after wearing his ring, Kara would be his.
'Little fool, are you ready?'
