Gluey Love Between Us

Raelynn smiled and said, "Mom, when I've made some more money in the future, I will buy you a bigger house to live in."

Malia shook her head with a chuckle. "Fool, how foolish!"

Raelynn did not speak. Even if her mother said that she was a fool, she still felt the affection in those words.

Malia pulled her daughter into the kitchen.

While walking, she said, "Rae, I've never dreamed of anything too grand to live in. This much is enough. Life is short, you shouldn't spend all your time and money on a house. You should make more time for yourself. As long as you're happy and can afford food and clothing, that's more than enough."

The people of Malia's generation had suffered a lot. Malia had seen a youth shouldering the weight of a thirty-year house loan stubbornly, and it crushed him. When it came to the time to pay his mortgage, his life was filled with anxiety and arguments. She had seen all that before, and she didn't want her daughter to go down that path.

Only those who were satisfied enough with food and clothing on their backs would be able to live happy lives.

Raelynn knew that there was a generation gap in their mindsets after all.

"Mom, I got it. Don't worry, I won't make myself suffer too much."

"Raelynn, mom, come over and eat. This feast is amazing. I've never eaten these dishes before. They smell so good." Ryder was overjoyed and laughed like a child. He stood there and raised a lobster in the air, waving it at them.

"Haha..." Raelynn smiled happily.

The family sat down and chatted while eating.

On the other end, Kenneth went back to the hotel to rest after the meeting.

Luke ordered a large variety of dishes. He was enjoying them with relish.

However, Kenneth didn't take a single bite. He kept staring at his phone. When he sat still, he looked like a statue.

Luke observed it all. He finally understood that Kenneth was truly in love.

Right then, Kenneth was feeling like an oasis in the desert, about to dry up. He was waiting for dew to refill it again, but there was no dew coming.

Luke recalled that Kenneth had just sent a message to Raelynn. As for whether there was any reply to that text, he had no idea.

Seeing that he was about to devour the entire fish on his own, Luke couldn't help but say, "Mr. Kenneth, let's eat first."

After a whole day of rushing a few events, he was quite tired.

Kenneth suddenly looked at him and asked, "Luke, should I say something else?"

Luke asked, "What do you mean?"

Kenneth said, "I sent a message to Rae, and she replied."

Luke immediately asked, without thinking, "Mr. Kenneth, what was the reply?"

"You've worked hard today, rest early tonight! That's what she said. It doesn't feel like a conversation between a couple," Kenneth voiced out bluntly.

Luke was speechless. He thought, "Mr. Kenneth, this is a normal phrase of concern. Why do you overthink it so much?"

Sure enough, people in love were childish.

"Mr. Kenneth, there's no deeper meaning to those words. Don't think too much. Let's eat first. You didn't even have lunch today."

Kenneth glanced at her phone for the last time. His dark eyes were filled with anticipation.

Luke couldn't bear to see such a disappointed expression on Kenneth's proud and elegant face.

Luke had always admired Kenneth.

"Mr. Kenneth, after dinner, you can chat with Miss Edwards. Women feel secure when their man takes the initiative."

Upon hearing that, Kenneth thought that not only women needed security. Men needed to feel secure too.

He had felt a keen sense of insecurity.

After Luke prompted him, Kenneth decided to have dinner first.

After dinner, Kenneth stared at his phone again.

What a mysterious feeling. He wanted nothing more than to hear her voice and sweet words.

Was this how it felt to be in a relationship?

Constantly worried, always wanting to see the other!

Kenneth looked at his phone and sighed slightly. A moment before, the hotel manager had called and informed him that Raelynn had packed dinner and went home to have dinner with her family.

He didn't bother Raelynn then. They were all adults who needed their private space. That applied to him as well. He resisted the impulse to call Raelynn.

It was half past ten at night. Kenneth had had intercourse several times last night and experienced a busy day. He was really sleepy. After taking a shower, he put on his white silk pajamas, overcome with drowsiness. His strong and perfect physique was very attractive. After lying down, he informed his parents that he was well. He also called his three brothers and was told that his sister and brother-in-law had taken good care of them. Only then did he relax somewhat.

After putting down the phone, there was a pervading sense of emptiness in his heart. It seemed that there was something he hadn't done yet.

Kenneth took his phone again and couldn't help but click on the conversation between him and Raelynn. Raelynn had still not sent any message.

He suddenly remembered Luke's words. A man had to be a little more proactive in order for a girl to feel secure. Compared to him, Raelynn needed more security that only he could provide.

At that, Kenneth immediately sent a message to Raelynn.

"Have you gotten back to the hotel safely?"

Although he did not know if Raelynn would return to the hotel to rest, he still wanted to ask.

At that time, Raelynn had gone back to the hotel. She had been bored, but when she saw Kenneth's text, for some reason, her empty heart was suddenly filled with joy.

"I just arrived at the hotel. Thank you for the dinner. I couldn't eat it all by myself, so I packed it up and went home to eat with my family. They had a good time."

Seeing that Raelynn had replied quickly, Kenneth couldn't help but smile.

"When I come back, I'll take them out to eat. I also want to meet your family," Kenneth thought that that was a good reply. He was really being serious, seriously facing these new emotions.

He didn't want to only toy with beautiful women like Nathaniel did.

He didn't break it off cleanly with his last girlfriend before finding a new girl. When they all bumped into each other, a fight between the girls ensued. Kenneth had indeed seen that happen with Nathaniel before However, after Kenneth sent that message, there was no reply from Raelynn.

Kenneth couldn't help but feel anxious. Was she angry?

A powerful man could command even the wind and rain in the world of business, but in the face of love, he still had to tread carefully.

When Raelynn saw Kenneth's text, she understood that a person like him was very serious about their relationship.

She was silent because she knew that she was tempted. He was her first serious boyfriend, a capable and responsible type which she adored. Besides that, his personal traits were even more attractive. He was accomplished and handsome, taller than her, and checked every box she had.

However, when Raelynn thought of her family background, she hesitated.

She mulled over it for a moment and then typed quickly. She had to ask about that clearly and not let herself get carried away. If the other party was unwilling to accept her family background, she would cut their relationship off early so that it would end neatly.

Kenneth was far too outstanding, to the extent that she felt ashamed of herself in front of him.
