"Kael, it's time to pay your dues for group work. You've been delaying payment for nine days, you know?" you said to Kael who was sleeping peacefully on his desk, you who were annoyed immediately kicked his desk until he jumped.

"What the hell are you doin'?! Don't you know I'm busy right now?" he cursed in annoyance.

"Busy your ass. It's time to pay the money for group work, your highness," you answered in a sarcastic tone.

Kael clicked his tongue in annoyance as you started raising your voice at him before finally going back to sleep again.

"I'll pay tomorrow, I don't have any money right now."

You're starting to get angry at his ignorant answer, why not? He had been delaying this payment for days.

"Oh, so this is what the child of a conglomerate who owns many penthouses looks like? So it turns out that your father is the only one who is rich, huh? Poor thing."

Hearing the sarcastic words coming out of your mouth immediately made Kael stand up from his desk and stand in front of you.

"I beg your pardon? I also have a private penthouse, you know? And it's the result of my own hard work! If possible, I can give it to you for free!"

"So that's the story of how the handsome and rich dad met your beautiful but stubborn mom, and in the end they lived happily in an unrivaled luxury penthouse. Isn't that true, darling?" Kael asked.

You, who were lying beside your daughter, could only shake your head when you heard what your husband told your daughter, Tara.

Tara, who was lying between you and Kael, looked at you with a curious gaze, waiting for your answer to confirm her dad story.

You could see your husband sleeping across from you holding back a smile as Tara tried to confirm whether the story her dad had told her was true or not.

"Cat got your tongue, eh?" Kael said silently, so you could only tell what he was saying from the movement of his lips.
