Unloved

Dinner

Before long, a black car stopped at the entrance of the villa. Nikki turned her head curiously and saw a middle-aged man with a gentle face coming out of the car. When he saw Nikki’s face clearly, there was obviously a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he didn’t show it at all. He stood still in front of Nikki, nodding slightly, with a respectful expression: “Madam, Mr. Kapoor sent me to pick you up for dinner.”

It was the driver Anup sent to pick her up for dinner. “Excuse me.” Nikki smiled at him, her mouth split wide, looking a little dull. The expression on driver’s face was slightly startled, but in a moment he returned to normal. He turned and opened the door: “Young lady, please get in the car.” Afterwards, he walked around and drove away.

When the car left, only a slit curtain was opened on the second floor of the villa, and it was pulled open with a “brush” sound. Seth glanced in the direction where the car was leaving, and asked the unpredictable Aarush who stood beside him: “Boss, do you really want your wife to see Mr. Kapoor like this?”

“Otherwise?” his eyes were deep, and he put his hands into the pockets of the suit pants, and said with a deep voice: “She is just an ugly and stupid woman, what can Anup do?” 

“But Madam is acting stupid!”

“It’s also an ability to pretend to make everyone believe.” After Aarush said this quietly, he turned and left.

Nikki was brought to a high-end restaurant. Mr. Kapoor's assistant led her to the door of the box, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of please: “Mr. Kapoor is waiting for you inside.”

“Yeah.” After Nikki finished speaking, she added slowly, “Thank you” He watched her enter, and after closing the door, he didn’t know what he thought of and shook his head slightly. At the table, a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament is looking through the menu. Hearing the movement, he put down the menu and raised his head. Nikki thought that the makeup of her own soil bun would at least make him frown or dissatisfied, but he just said kindly, “Are you, Nikki?”

Nikki didn’t expect that the person in charge of such a wealthy and powerful family would be such a pleasant person. She was stunned for a moment before she said, “I ….. I am Nikki.” This stay was not a pretense, it did surprise her. “Don’t be restrained, you married into the Kapoor's family, you are a member of the Kapoor family and my half daughter.”

While talking, Anup picked up the kettle next to her and poured her a glass of water. When at Mehta’s house, Anand basically didn’t look at her straight, and Rachel’s attention was also on her other two siblings. She had never been treated so gently by any elder, and she was a little flattered for a while. Nikki took the cup: “Thank you.”

“You can call me daddy like Aarush,” Anup said while looking at her calmly. His looks are a little invisible, and his reaction is a little slow. Although restrained but polite, he is a simple and kind-hearted child. “…Dad.” Nikki cried out hesitantly. Anup smiled and said apologetically: “You and Aarush are married, and you are wronged for not having the wedding. You should have gone back to the old house for dinner with Aarush today, but Aarush, because of his mother. There is a bump in his heart, and he has been reluctant to return to his old house. You will enlighten him more in the future.”

The Kapoor family is a large family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, following the tradition of three generations under one roof. It is said that the old house of the Kapoor family is priceless. Someone once tentatively bid hundreds of billions to buy the house of the Kapoor family. In the end, that person became a joke in the upper class. Nikki also knows a little bit about Aarush’s mother mentioned in Anup’s words.

In the k********g more than ten years ago, the kidnappers not only kidn*pped Aarush but also Aarush’s mother. But in the end, only Aarush was rescued. As for Aarush’s mother, there are many sayings. Some say she is dead, some say she is not dead, and some say she was defiled by the kidnapper…

Nikki looked up at Anup, hesitated, and said, “But…I haven’t…see him yet.” In the next half-sentence, she said quietly. She noticed that after Anup listened to her again, his expression changed slightly. Before, Anup didn’t ask Aarush any more but asked some questions about Nikki’s life with concern. Nikki answered honestly one by one, speaking slowly, looking dull but sincere.

When leaving, Anup still asked his driver to send her back to Aarush’s villa. Driver sent her to the gate of the villa, and he left after watching Nikki enter. At this time, Nikki just recalled, Anup seemed to be testing her before? After another thought, she felt wrong again. He was more like testing Aarush.

Although she hadn’t met Aarush, she could feel that the relationship between father and son was not good, and there were many contradictions. Anup said that Aarush had a knot in his heart because of his mother, but his mother was no longer there when he was kidn*pped more than ten years ago. Is it because of the k********g that he had a rift with Anup?

“Young lady.” Nikki was drawn back to her mind by the bodyguard’s voice, and she looked up at the talking bodyguard. This bodyguard was familiar and went to pick her up at Mehta’s house that day. The bodyguard nodded slightly and said in a flat tone: “Master wants to see you.” Nikki suspected that she had heard it wrong. She was stunned for three seconds before she said, “Master? Aarush?”

“Yes, Master is waiting for you in the study.” Nikki was a little surprised, but Aarush was finally willing to see her? When she knocked on the study door, there was no sense of reality at all. As soon as she stepped into the study, she heard a husky male voice sound before she could see what was inside: “Who is here at night?” The man standing by the desk said, “Master, it’s the young lady.”

Only then did Nikki notice that on the chair behind the desk, a broad man was sitting with his back to her. Looking from her direction, she can see the man’s head protruding from the back of the chair, and the arm resting on the armrest. He is a tall man. Is he Aarush? Looking at Nikki every night, she calmly looked at her. “Seth?” She just heard Aarush call this name. He nodded and said no more. He was not a talkative person.

At this moment, Aarush, who was sitting with his back facing her, spoke. “Have you met Anup?” Nikki was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was talking to her. Although she had already known from Anup that the relationship between the two father and son was not good, Aarush directly called the name Anup still surprised her. “I have seen him.” Nikki didn’t know what Aarush asked about, but she vaguely felt that Aarush didn’t intend to let her see his true face. “What did he say?”

“We just chatted a little bit and talked about your business…” Nikki said after a pause, “He cares about you very much.” Those words of Anup may have a certain purpose, but he must be concerned about Aarush. She is a little envious of him, he can have a father who loves him. Aarush listened to her, but just sneered and said, “Listen to Dev, you get along well?”

When Nikki heard the word Dev, she became stiff and shook her head quickly: “I just saw him in the villa.” Thinking that Aarush, who was she was facing his back, would not see her and shook her head, she added: “We are not familiar.” For some reason, she deliberately concealed that Dev was injured and stayed in her rental house for one night. “is it?”

The man’s light and fluttering words made Nikki shudder and dare not speak anymore. Dev didn’t really say something in front of Aarush? “Okay, you go out.” Aarush’s tone sounded a little impatient. Nikki couldn’t see Aarush’s face, but she could feel the indifference that radiated from his thousands of miles away from such a distance.
