Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Clashing Head On, Have to Lie

During their conversation, the children’s loud laughter from the living room took Kane by surprise, "Your picnic is over?"

"Yeah, it’s already three in the afternoon."

"Did you bring Hope back with you?"

"Uh-huh, I brought her to play with her brothers—what’s wrong?"

"Err... there’s a bit of an issue." He was still speaking in Chinese, which confused the woman sitting in the passenger seat who couldn’t understand Chinese, furrowing her brows and staring at him.

"I’m parking now, so, could you... please take them out to play for a while?"

Amelia was puzzled. "Is... your friend not fond of children?"

Kane was anxious and didn’t even know how to reply.

Fortunately, Amelia was very understanding.

Indeed, many people abroad don’t like children, which is why the DINK concept is so common and the birth rate is extremely low.

Maybe, Kane’s friend was one of those who didn’t like kids.

"OK! I understand, I’ll take them away right away."

After hanging up the phone, Amelia turned around and went back to the living room, clapping her hands and calling out, "Kiddos, come on, we’re going to play somewhere else."

"Mommy, where are we going?" Ethan asked excitedly, the word "mommy" slipping out.

Amelia’s ears twitched at the word, and she instinctively looked at Hope.

Sure enough, Hope had heard it.

But the little girl just laughed and pointed at Ethan, saying, "This is my mom, not your mom, are you silly? Hahaha..."

"Of course I’m—", Ethan was about to argue heatedly, but luckily Noah stopped him in time, "Quick, grab your snack pack and let’s go!"

Amelia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly packed up the children’s things.

Hastily she organized the toys, grabbed water bottles, found jackets, and put on shoes.

Just as they were about to leave, Ethan suddenly exclaimed, "My Ultraman!"

"What do you need that for?"

"He’s my best friend!"

Ethan insisted on bringing Ultraman and hurried back into the living room, rummaging through the toy box.

"Hurry up~" Amelia kept urging, standing by the open doorway.

Finally, Ethan found Ultraman and rushed out the door.

The group of four finally left the apartment and pressed the elevator button.

Noah, sensing something was off, asked puzzled, "Auntie, why do we need to leave all of a sudden?"

Amelia looked at her son and touched his head, "The weather is nice; let’s go out, get some fresh air."

Noah didn’t believe that explanation.

Suddenly, Hope turned her head, "Brother, aren’t you going to tell your mom before you leave?"

The brothers instinctively looked towards their mother.

Amelia quickly said, "I’ll call your mom in a bit to let her know, don’t worry, it’s all good."

Before her words were finished, the elevator dinged, the doors opened, and they were about to enter when someone just happened to come out.

Almost colliding!

Ethan exclaimed with surprise, "Kane, you’re back!"

Amelia, seeing the two people emerging from the elevator, was shocked, and then her gaze fell on the curvaceous foreign woman next to Kane.

She froze.

So, his friend was a woman.

A young and beautiful woman.

Staying in their home...

She suddenly understood why Kane had asked her to take the children and leave.

The modern woman stepping out of the elevator was surrounded by several children and was startled, but then she smiled and praised, "Wow~ such cute kids!"

Before she finished speaking, she heard a small boy call out to Kane, and she immediately turned her head in shock to the man beside her, "Do you know each other?"

Kane hadn’t expected to run into them; the scene left him a bit dumbfounded for a moment.

Thinking that he would take Amelia Garcia to formally introduce her to his family after returning to Zurich in a few days, Kane soon had an idea, after a brief moment of astonishment.

"Yes, we know each other, this beautiful lady is my..."

Before he could finish, Amelia quickly interjected, "Hello, we are Mr. Kane’s neighbors."

She smiled and covered for Kane, noticing the elevator doors were about to close, she hurriedly dashed forward to press the button, "Quick, get in the elevator."

Kane and the modern woman stepped aside, Noah and Ethan looked at the beautiful woman beside him for a moment, then entered the elevator with Hope.

Amelia also got in, turned around, and gave them a friendly smile and waved—until the elevator doors closed.

Noah, mature beyond his years, understood why his mother was in a hurry to leave after seeing Kane come back with a pretty woman.

But, wasn’t Uncle Kane into his mom, and now they had confirmed their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, right?

How come...

He wanted to ask his mom, but when he turned his head and saw his sister standing beside him, he held back.

Amelia saw the look in her eldest son’s eyes, understanding what he was thinking, so she silently chuckled, patted his head to comfort him, and told him not to overthink.

Meanwhile, Kane took his friend from afar—Betty—into his home.

Just upon entering the foyer, Betty noticed a problem, "Kane, why are there children’s shoes in your house?"

Kane picked up the luggage, glanced at the little boys’ slippers thrown on the ground, and remembered Amelia’s explanation, so he went along with it, "The neighbor’s kids come over to play occasionally."

"Really?" Betty found it curious, changed her shoes, walked into the living room, noticed signs of children living there, and asked again in wonder, "They’re living at your place?"

"Yes, I like children."

Women’s intuition is always accurate; Betty turned around, her arms sensually wrapping around his neck as she leaned in for a kiss, "Darling, it’s that woman you like, isn’t it?"

Kane dodged her advance and then peeled her arms off his neck, admitting, "Since you’ve figured it out, you should also know that it’s impossible between us, I have a woman I like."

Betty raised an eyebrow, not minding his blunt rejection but simply shrugged and walked away, "The Countess won’t accept a woman with children."

"That’s because they don’t understand yet. Once they do, they’ll definitely like her."

Betty snorted dismissively and flopped down on the sofa, "I’m so hungry, the airplane food was terrible. I heard Chinese cuisine is quite special; what are we having for dinner today?"

Kane’s brow furrowed, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly walked over to the sofa and pulled the woman up, "Come on, I’ll take you out for dinner, then find you a hotel. It’s better if you stay in a hotel."

Thinking of Amelia’s "self-introduction" and seeing that Betty had already guessed their relationship, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He decided it would be best to clarify the relationship and prevent any misunderstandings.

But Betty, having finally made her way into his home, was not going to exit the scene just like that—she immediately struggled and flopped back onto the sofa, "I want to stay here, staying alone in a hotel is so boring."

"Betty!"

Kane looked somewhat helpless, but before he could speak, his phone rang.

He pulled it out; it was a call from his sister.

He had to step away to answer the call.

As the woman sat on the sofa, looking around, she got up and walked toward the bedroom.

Sure enough, one of the bedrooms was piled with children’s belongings, indicating that the child did indeed live here.

The other bedroom, though, was clean and orderly, with only men’s belongings and no women’s clothing.

Betty found this strange—were they not living together?

Turning around, she was startled by Kane, who had appeared behind her without her knowing.

"Betty, you should respect my privacy."

"I’m sorry," the woman immediately apologized and asked with a smile, "Which room am I staying in?"

Kane did not answer but simply pulled her by the arm, dragging her out and closing the door.
