Kylie was already looking pretty after cleaning up after her workout with Arson, Jevin, and her dad.
The three men would soon be heading to the office and it looked like Kylie would be lonely today as she would be alone with Valery until late afternoon, the two women would only have friends after Jeykey returned from college.
Wearing a t-shirt and half-mast pants, Kylie stepped out to enjoy breakfast with her family. Arriving at the dining table Kylie was a little surprised to see Valery preparing breakfast for them all by herself.
"Did you cook this yourself? Where's Berlin and the others?" Valery asked, looking at Carly's wife.
Valery smiled and shook her head.
"I just helped serve it. As usual, it's Berlin who does the cooking and some are still in the kitchen, while others have already done their jobs," Valery replied.
Kylie rounded her lips as she nodded her head, she wouldn't let Valery do it because Kylie knew that Carly's wife was pregnant, she didn't want to make Drake Adams' only daughter-in-law exhausted because it could endanger the fetus in Valery's womb.
Kylie pulled the chair in front of her and then, gently pulled Valery's hand.
"You better sit here! Let me take your place," Kylie pleaded.
Valery smiled back. "We'll do it together," she said, still holding herself back from sitting down as Kylie requested.
The youngest shook her head vigorously.
"No refusal! Please take good care of my niece who is in here," Kylie said again.
The only daughter of Drake also forced the woman in front of her to sit down immediately, Valery was forced to obey rather than make Kylie sulk and it was very difficult to seduce because it took extra energy to melt the spoiled youngest's heart.
Valery could only smile and shake her head. She finally had a friend at home, normally she would feel a little bad because the Drake children in the house were all boys, while Kylie was still in another country.
Carly arrived first and immediately gave his wife a peck on the cheek and then, sat next to his beloved wife. Not long followed by Arson, the man looked like someone who was confused looking for something.
"What are you looking for?" asked Carly, who had noticed Arson from the beginning of the eldest in the Drake family's arrival at the dining table.
Arson immediately realized that hearing Carly's question made the man shake his head quickly. "Nothing," he replied with his usual flat expression.
The man pulled up the chair on the right side of Drake's chair with a sense of wonder.
Drake approached the dining table, with Jevin in tow. As usual, Jeykey was the last to arrive.
The 50-year-old also looked and didn't find Kylie and Jeykey there, to be precise, Drake is used to seeing the tardiness of one of his sons every time they want to enjoy breakfast because Jeykey is very difficult to wake up early. However, this time Drake didn't find his youngest daughter either.
"Is Kylie up yet?" asked Drake after successfully sitting on his lower back.
Valery was about to answer, but so was Arson who was about to open his mouth to reply to his father. However, Kylie suddenly came from the kitchen with a plate of food. The girl smiled, while Arson breathed a sigh of relief because the woman he had been looking for was in the kitchen. Arson was confused when he went to the youngest's room and didn't find the woman he loved there.
Carly and Jevin kept noticing the expression on Arson's face that looked happy when he saw Kylie's presence there, but Carly tried hard to immediately throw away her bad thoughts when he remembered what his wife had said to him this morning.
"Did you cook it yourself?" Arson asked as Kylie placed the plate of food on the table.
"No, I didn't. I'm just helping Valery out, she put all the food and plates together earlier," replied Kylie who was now standing next to Arson.
"Why did you let your wife do it? Isn't she pregnant? She shouldn't be exhausted, Carly!" Jevin said to Carly who tilted her head slightly to look at Drake Adams' second son because Valery was next to him, blocking her view.
Before Carly could answer Drake's third son's question, Jeykey arrived with his carrying bag.
"Just now I was happy to see you carrying the food. I thought you cooked it yourself, but you didn't. I'm so disappointed," Jeykey teased the youngest.
Kylie immediately folded her face because she knew it was an insinuation for her. After all, they all knew that Kylie couldn't cook.
"Stop teasing me, Jey! You know that I can't cook. Would you get poisoned if I made the food?" Kylie replied with a slight lift of her chin.
"Ah, I'd rather starve than die in vain!" said Jeykey as he pulled the chair next to Arson, where Kylie was currently standing.
They all laughed at Jeykey's words, including Kylie. However, their laughter suddenly stopped when they heard Arson's words.
"Sit over there!" Arson said while holding the chair that Jeykey wanted to pull.
The man who has a fuller body than his three brothers also looked surprised by Arson's prohibition.
"So what, isn't this my seat?" asked Jeykey.
In the Drake family rules, they had to sit in the order of their age. For Arson and Carly were right and left of Drake, who occupied the single chair in the center of the dining table because Carly already had a wife, so the position next to Carly that should have been filled by Jevin was now replaced by Valery, Carly's wife. Then, next to the woman who was lucky to become the son-in-law of the Adams family was Jevin. Next to Arson, the correct order is indeed Jeykey sitting there and for Kylie herself, then beside the man who is still a student and directly facing Jevin, the calmest man who has a gentle nature in the Adams family.
The laughter turned into a puzzled look, as Drake watched the drama this morning created by his children.
"Let Kylie sit here. Aren't you embarrassed to eat opposite your sister-in-law?" Arson said.
Jeykey knitted her brows. "Haven't I been eating opposite him since Valery first came into our family? There has been no problem so far," replied Jeykey who was confused by Arson's decision.
Carly and Jevin wondered even more about what they thought of Arson.
What's wrong with Arson? I've noticed something strange about him since last night, Jevin asked silently.
No way! It must just be my feelings. Vale's right, what Arson is doing is perfectly natural for Kyl! Carly thought.
"Arson is right, Jey. You have to give in now! Let me eat opposite Kylie, okay? It's too bad she has to be on the other end. She's a woman who should be by your side, men," Valery said, which instantly put Jevin's bad thoughts to rest, but not Carly.
"That's right. Can you bear to see Kylie at the end here?" said Jevin, pointing at the chair in front of him.
Jeykey pretended to sigh in annoyance, and the man finally relented.
"Because I'm a gentleman, I'll do it," Jeykey said, making them all laugh again.
Breakfast began. In the middle of their meal, Jeykey suddenly asked another question, and this time he pointed it directly at the eldest.
"It's not like you haven't left yet, Son? Usually, after only two mouthfuls of food have entered your mouth, you have already left the dining table first," Jeykey asked while looking at Arson.
All of them who were there also moved, looking at Arson.
The cold man stopped his hand movements.
"Are you kicking me out?" asked Arson with his usual expressionless, flat face.
Jeykey immediately smiled widely, just being answered like that already made his guts shrink. However, Arson was famous like Drake, a cold-blooded killer. Unlike Carly, although her appearance looked unfriendly, but her emotions could still be controlled. Very different from Arson who looked relaxed, but deadly.
"I'm just joking, you don't have to take it seriously. Come on, continue eating!" said the man sitting next to Kylie, while the youngest made a mocking face at Jeykey and managed to make the man 2 years above Kylie kick the youngest's feet lightly.
"Daddy, Jeykey ...."
Before Kylie could finish her sentence, Jeykey suddenly covered her mouth with his hand.
Everyone stopped his hand movement and looked at Kylie.
"No, no, no. No Dad," Jeykey said to her father.
Jeykey didn't want her youngest to snitch because she would be targeted by the four men, who knew how much Kylie was loved by all of them.
Kylie laughed as Jeykey's hand slipped from her face.
The man who was just starting to become a playboy approached and then, whispered, "I will treat you to a lot of ice cream, as long as you don't complain,"
"I don't want to because last night I was satisfied eating ice cream treated by Arson!" replied Kylie, who also whispered to Jeykey.
Drake's fourth son immediately widened his eyes and then, looked at Arson who was still leisurely eating his breakfast after Kylie did not continue her words.
"Son, why didn't you ask me last night?" the man asked.
"Why would I ask you? It's not important!" Arson replied curtly.
All of them couldn't help but laugh at the eldest's answer, and the food in Jevin's mouth almost spurted out.
"You're really bad, Arson! I'm sorry I have a brother like you," Jeykey grumbled but was ignored by Arson. the man continued to eat his breakfast, not wanting to answer Jeykey's remarks.
They all knew that Arson's nature was like that when confronted directly, sharp and annoying. However, behind his cold nature. Arson has a caring soul and high concern for his family, even the eldest is willing to sacrifice his life for the safety and happiness of several other siblings. The proof is that he was willing to help Drake in taking care of the company at a young age who should still be enjoying those times as Jeykey is doing now, but from that experience, Arson has a very great trick to trick the people who are trying to destroy the Adams family.
Both Kylie and Arson and the others resumed breakfast.
Today Drake was really happy that his morning was greeted with laughter by his son and daughter. Unlike usual, the house was quiet. However, since Kylie's arrival, it seems like they all seem to be entertained.
Dear, behold, your favorite daughter is back. She is truly an encouragement to us all. Your sons, all look happy for Kyl's return, Drake said in his heart.
It was quiet again and only the clinking of cutlery against plates could be heard.
"Daddy, am I not Daddy and Mommy's biological daughter?" Kylie asked suddenly and managed to make them all freeze in their places, but not at all look at the girl. Only Valery was surprised and then, looked at Kylie as if asking why the youngest could ask such a question.
Drake seemed to swallow the broken glass that hurt his throat.
