Part 21

Chelsea was no longer surprised by Vano's shopping results. He was really going to transform her into a seductive woman, and Chelsea would have to work extra hard because Carlos wasn't just any man.

If Carlos were like any other man, Chelsea would have already been under his control. But what had happened? Forget touching her; he wasn't even tempted.

Chelsea tried her best, determined to achieve her goal – to make her mother beg for forgiveness for everything she had done to her father over the years. To enhance her appearance, Chelsea had to clean herself up and do her makeup to look beautiful and fresh in Carlos' eyes, who was supposedly in the family room, enjoying the bright afternoon while reading a newspaper.

Chelsea was prepared, wearing a mini skirt and a tank top. Underneath the tank top, she wore nothing, creating two bulges. Her outfit left little to the imagination and was designed to break through Carlos' defenses aggressively.

As she stepped out of her room, her gaze immediately met Vano's, who had just come out of his room as well. He looked fresh, wearing a thin short-sleeved shirt and knee-length cotton pants.

"Are you ready?" Vano reached out his hand.

"Of course," Chelsea immediately accepted his hand and held it as a sign of mutual support to boost their confidence in seducing Carlos.

However, their timing was unfortunate. When they arrived in the family room, Margareth was already sitting next to Carlos, resting her head on his lap while playing with her phone. Carlos, on the other hand, was engrossed in the newspaper.

It was an entirely inappropriate moment as Margareth had already seized the spotlight, leaving Vano and Chelsea no choice but to sit across from her and Carlos. They had to pretend to be busy with their phones and sit side by side.

Chelsea needed to find a way to get Margareth out of the family room. Her mind began to work, searching for reasons and ideas to make it happen.

"Mom, do you remember when we used to make carrot and celery juice back when we lived in Permata Gerilya?" Chelsea suddenly brought up a topic, trying to get Margareth to leave Carlos' lap.

"What juice?"

"You know, Mom, carrot and celery juice, if I remember correctly. Good for your skin. I don't know why, but suddenly I feel like having some to make my skin even more glowing," Chelsea explained, trying to give Margareth a reason to get up from Carlos' lap.

Margareth huffed in annoyance. "Fine, fine. I'll make it for you." She got up and left the family room. Margareth was afraid that Chelsea would reveal her secret. Chelsea's words had a slightly threatening undertone, and Margareth complied without hesitation. It was astonishing how obedient she had become, especially for Kevin and Carlos. Chelsea couldn't understand what had caused Margareth's drastic change.

Once Margareth was gone, Chelsea gave Vano a signal to move closer to her. They started their plan to capture Carlos' attention and direct it towards them.

"I've noticed that you're getting more beautiful with each passing day," Vano said, shifting his position to face Chelsea.

"You can be quite provocative sometimes."

"It's not provocative; it's just an observation. You are undeniably more beautiful than Celine. You're even hotter. You should know I like girls with this kind of style, so..." Vano let his words hang and leaned in to kiss Chelsea.

"Ahem!"

However, Carlos's low growl made Vano withdraw from Chelsea.

"Oh my... I forgot that Dad is here," he chuckled softly, rubbing his throat. "Chelsea, wait here for a moment, my throat feels parched. It's so hot in here." Vano hurriedly followed Margareth into the kitchen, where he planned to keep her there longer.

With that, Carlos and Chelsea could sit close to each other again.

"Dad, what are you reading?" Chelsea jumped and sat beside Carlos, with half of her body leaning into his embrace.

"Nothing, just reading the news," Carlos replied.

"Oh..." Chelsea looked at Carlos. "Dad, I'm sorry for being bold earlier. I couldn't resist and ended up confessing my love to you. Honestly, I can't hide this feeling, Dad." She took the newspaper from Carlos's hand. "Look at me, Dad. Just this once."

"Chelsea..."

"Dad, please. Respond to my love, even though we know we can't be together."

"Don't..."

"Dad, I beg you..."

Carlos swallowed his saliva. I don't know how long ago he was half lying down and Chelsea was between his thighs. It was very clear in Carlos' eyes, Chelsea's two twin mounds under the pink tank top. 

"Auntie, wait a minute." Vano actually stopped Margareth, who was ready to bring a glass of carrot and celery juice into the living room. 

"What else, Van?" Margareth was really lazy about being told to do things like this, but how could she be forced to do all this so that her position was safe?

 “Make me some orange juice!” Vano asked, taking the glass from Margareth's hand. "Let me take this." Margareth chuckled in annoyance. Go back to the kitchen and make orange juice. Even though he was tired of playing with Kevin. 

"Dad, I love Daddy." Chelsea is increasingly crushing Carlos.

"Stop playing around, Chelsea. Don't make Daddy..."

Carlos couldn't speak because Chelsea had crushed his open lips. He had never done this before, but Chelsea's instincts told her that she had to savor Carlos's tongue to keep that kiss from ending.

"Chelsea!!" Margareth exclaimed, pulling Chelsea off Carlos. "You little wench!"

Slap!!

Chelsea touched her heated cheek from Margareth's slap. "You cheap woman!"

"Margareth, stop it!" Carlos restrained Margareth's hand, preventing her from slapping Chelsea again.

"Carlos!!"

"I teased her."

"W-what, Carlos?"

Chelsea remained calm despite her burning, stinging cheek from Margareth's slap. But she was satisfied to see her mother's anger at what she had just done.

Moreover, Carlos defended her, which meant her position was somewhat advantageous for heating up Margareth. Even now, Carlos was more concerned about his own situation than Margareth, who still seemed eager to land another slap on her cheek.

It seemed that the middle-aged woman was not yet satisfied with her lesson to her daughter. "Enough, please go to your rooms, we can discuss this later tonight or tomorrow."

Carlos initiated the conversation and settled back on the sofa. Meanwhile, Chelsea sat silently on the floor, rubbing her cheek. Margareth remained standing in place, with no intention of moving because she was still not satisfied with her lesson to Chelsea.

As for Vano, he tried hard not to get involved in the situation. However, Chelsea's current ordeal was a way to obtain approval for her and Celine.

"What's going on here? Why did the situation suddenly become so tense? Everything seemed fine before we left," Vano asked innocently with a glass of juice in his hand. He also placed the juice on the table and guided Chelsea to sit. He made it seem like nothing had happened in the living room.

"It's nothing, just a misunderstanding," Carlos adjusted his sitting position, feeling uneasy about having to be honest with Vano that he had just exchanged saliva with Chelsea. Carlos admitted that he had been momentarily swept away and had enjoyed it, and even now, he could still feel the warmth and sweetness of Chelsea's mouth.

If Carlos were to be honest, Vano would surely be disgusted by Chelsea. Especially since the girl confessed to falling in love with him. Yet there was Vano, who was more suitable to be her husband.

In a situation like this, Carlos himself was confused about what to do. Because the girl he had paid to seduce Vano had fallen in love with him. If Vano were to fall in love with Chelsea, there would be no way to refocus her on their original goal.

"There's nothing to it, weren't you two..."

"Enough, Margareth!" Carlos rose from his seat. "Don't make up stories. Don't let your lies ruin Vano and Chelsea's relationship."

"W-what, lies, Carlos? Isn't it true that..."

"I've said enough, okay, enough! Don't discuss this again if you still want to maintain a relationship with me," Carlos threatened before leaving the living room.

Margareth's face turned red... She didn't accept Carlos's statement just now.

How could he defend Chelsea more than her? After months of being in a relationship, it was Chelsea, her own daughter, who got to enjoy Carlos's lips.

What mother wouldn't feel hurt losing to her own daughter?

"Carlos can't get away with this. We need to talk!" Margareth followed Carlos, leaving Chelsea and Vano behind.

"I'm sorry you got hurt like this," Vano wiped the red mark on Chelsea's cheek.

Chelsea just smiled, "It's okay, what matters is that I'm also happy to see Mom angry because Dad defended me more. Moreover, Dad lied in front of you even though something did happen between us. That means Dad is also trying to hide what we did earlier, so everything will be over soon. So, you don't need to worry." Chelsea patted Vano's knee, reassuring him that everything would be fine.

If her relationship with Carlos continued to go well, Chelsea would be able to persuade him to make things easier for Vano.

Whether it was a mistake or not, advocating for Vano and Celine's relationship, which had many mysteries, was Chelsea's goal. It was like a mutual symbiotic relationship, but she didn't know what would happen if their plan went smoothly.

That wasn't important; what mattered was that Chelsea would follow her ambition to avenge her father's hurt feelings, even if it meant sacrificing her own body.

"So, what's your plan after this?"

Chelsea shrugged. "I don't know, but I'll let it flow like water. I'm sure there will be a brilliant idea to seduce Dad soon." She stood up. "I need to rest for a while; hopefully, the idea will come before I meet Dad again," she said before leaving Vano.

Vano just nodded, letting Chelsea go. Even though he still wanted to chat with the girl. Chelsea was humble and cheerful, which made Vano feel connected and eager to talk to her.

Unfortunately, Chelsea truly saw him as a business partner, nothing more. Even for conversations, Chelsea sometimes only discussed their plans and didn't delve into more personal topics. Yet Vano wanted to be close to Chelsea, at least as a friend or companion. Or, perhaps being a bit presumptuous, a lover.

Vano blinked his eyes. "My lover?" he muttered to himself, dismissing that thought. He couldn't possibly make Chelsea his lover because his heart belonged solely to Celine.

"Carlos, I can't let this happen. How could you do that with my daughter when with me..."

"Margareth, I've told you we will discuss this later. Don't try to bring this up until I'm ready to talk about it," Carlos interrupted Margareth.

"Why do you have to wait to be ready? Is it because you were tempted by my daughter's body?" Margareth demanded, not wanting Carlos to delay discussing the issue they had earlier. She would never accept losing to Chelsea because she was the one who had Carlos first.

But why did Chelsea manage to touch him more deeply than she did when all Carlos did was kiss her head before? Meanwhile, Chelsea, who had only been in the house for a few days, had already... What's worse, there was still Vano and herself.

What if Carlos and Chelsea were the only ones living in that house? It was not impossible that her daughter would be the first to fully possess Carlos.

“B-but Carlos, this can't be allowed to continue. You must control yourself and not let yourself touch my daughter. Prayer still holds honor that can be cherished by her husband. You wouldn't want Vano to inherit her own father's leftovers, would you? Besides, their marriage can't proceed if you've already tasted Chelsea's body, can it?” Margareth protested.

"Shut your mouth!" Carlos pointed his index finger at Margareth's face. "Is that how lowly you've been thinking of me all this time, that you can casually suggest that I would sleep with Chelsea?"

"W-well... it's possible, isn't it? And in this house, not only the two of you have gone this far, especially..."

Carlos's hand was raised, ready to slap Margareth, but he refrained because she wasn't someone important to him, just a lover. Besides, he had never played with a woman before. But for some reason, hearing Margareth's words felt like she had crossed a line because she looked down on him and Chelsea.

"Get out, before I lay my hand on you!" Carlos opened his bedroom door and motioned for Margareth to leave. He really needed a lot of time to calm his mind right now.

Margareth took a deep breath and tried to suppress her emotions and anger that had been brewing in her chest. She hurriedly left before Carlos could unleash his anger. At this point, Margareth didn't want to prolong the issue because she still needed Carlos and all his wealth. It was impossible, wasn't it? She supported Kevin's life with her own money. She couldn't even afford her own lifestyle, let alone Kevin's.

Margareth's departure turned out to be a golden opportunity for Chelsea to slip into Carlos's room. Just as Carlos was about to close the door, Chelsea pushed it and sneaked in. She immediately hugged Carlos, causing his back to touch the door.

"I'm sorry, Dad. I've caused Mom and Dad to argue. Honestly, I feel really guilty about this." Chelsea immediately let out her hoarse voice, as if she was deeply affected by what happened earlier. She also acted as if she had a lot of regrets for teasing her mother's boyfriend.

"You're not at fault in this matter." Carlos's hand began to rise to return Chelsea's hug, stroking her back as a statement that she was okay. "Next time, don't do that again, okay? So that Margareth and Vano don't misunderstand."

Chelsea nodded. "I might be able to restrain myself if Dad reciprocates the love I have."

"Wh-what do you mean?" Carlos inquired.

"Yes, if Daddy wants to return the love that I have, I will maintain my attitude. I will try to stop myself from hugging Daddy when Vano and Mother are at home. How?" Chelsea offered to pull away and tilt her head so she could look at Carlos' handsome face. "I can't afford to be forced to keep these feelings, Dad. But if in the future Daddy and Mother have married me and are married too, then I swear to you, Dad. Will bury all this love and try hard to reach Vano's love.

As long as Daddy wants to accept all my love.” Chelsea still clean my nails want to be Carlos's girlfriend.

“But Chelsea,” Carlos took a deep breath. "What about your mother and Vano?"

"They don't know all this. Again, this is not wrong is it? Daddy Duda and I were also girls, not having a girlfriend who would be mad at me. I just asked Daddy to reply to my declaration of love by Saying, yes. After that it's up to Daddy what he wants to do, the important thing is that I need confirmation that we are now officially lovers. It's okay Dark lover, the important thing is I have a special relationship with Daddy. How?"

Carlos wanted to refuse, but the twinkle that emanated from Chelsea's eyes forced him to interrupt even though he was weak and slow. There was no harm in following Chelsea's wishes so that she would feel at home and be even more enthusiastic about approaching Vano, that was Carlos' excuse according to his common sense.
