The Young Man One
Kenzi's

Kenzi put down the school bag while sitting on the sofa. He could not think of what their conversation would be like, but he also did not want to back down.

"I will not mince words" said Kelvan. "What kind of feelings do you have for Livia?"

"He was a very precious person to me."

"You like it?"

"Liked it very much."

Kelvan was silent for a while. He already has a mature plan for his future with Livia, but this time it must resolve Kenzi's feelings. It was never expected that he who was a widower would compete with a teenager.

"As a friend, a friend,"—Kenzi exhaled, his shoulders looked down, and his expression turned lethargic—" parents," he said.

Kelvan thought again, correcting his mistake regarding Kenzi's feelings. Previously, she thought that Livia was liked by teenagers as an approachable woman, that kind of feeling.

"Honestly, I was born to a family whose parents were very busy. Staying in one house does not make us meet often. My daily life is spent alone. Sometimes I think, was I born into the world to be a lonely child?

The feeling of tightness disappeared when I met with Miss Livia. I have never received such attention from anyone. He who was a nobody tried desperately for me, even when I was so naughty. While my parents kind of abandoned their own children."

Kelvan more or less understands how Kenzi feels now. He was once a child and is now a parent to his daughter Nea.

"Every parent has their own way of expressing their affection. If you think that they abandoned you, I think that's a wrong assumption, because until now you still live with them, even given a stipend every month in a small amount."

"But that's not what I need."

"Why not be honest with them about how you feel? Perhaps, all this time your parents thought that you didn't have a problem with their like, because you never commented anything either."

Kenzi who was silent made Kelvan smile. He had already said what to say and it seemed that Kenzi would also consider his words.

"I thought you had a special feeling for Livia."

"What if it does? Are you guys gonna keep your distance?"

"You were a widower, being in love for so long than Nea told you. Are you thinking of marrying Livia's mom any time soon?"

My daughter makes me sound like someone who doesn't sell, Kelvan thought.

Kelvan thinning lips. "You're a smart kid. I was thinking of marrying her after getting my daughter's blessing."

So, he's been thinking of me as a fool all along? thought Kenzi.

"Since the deaths of both parents, Livia's mother has been living with her grandmother. Do you know about it?"

"Yes. Livia told me."

"Did you meet her grandmother?"

"No. Last time, he refused to be delivered to his grandmother's place."

"So, you haven't met her grandmother at all?"

Kelvan raised next to his eyebrows. "Be—lum's. Is that something weird? Considering we just had a relationship yesterday ...."

Kenzi leaned back while sighing. "It turns out I'm one step ahead."

Kelvan seemed troubled by the statement just now. He moved his seat forward, then said, "What does that mean, you've met his grandmother Livia?"

Kelvan rubs his nose. "of course! It was a very nice day!"
