It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!-Chapter 835 WE ARE NO LONGER FAMILY

When she saw Kia and Mika getting out of the car and heading to the restaurant where they promised to meet, Amber wanted to get out of the car and meet them both then and there, but Alia held her back.

"Don't mom, we'll meet them soon, don't be like this," Alia said in a low voice. She held Amber's arm so her mother wouldn't get out of the car. She then turned her attention to Mika and Kia who were entering the restaurant.

The little girl looked very happy to be able to go with her mother and was seen laughing at what Kia said to her.

However, Misha was nowhere to be seen. It seemed he wasn't participating in the meeting this time, which was a great relief, because that guy was very intimidating and his presence alone would be depressing.

After that, Alia, Amber and Lyle got out of the car, while Daniel parked his car before he too joined them.

Lyle went to reception and said they had an appointment and let them know who they were meeting with.

At that, a host led them to a private section of the rooms, which overlooked the city. If this were dinner and not lunch, the view from this room would certainly look very beautiful and breathtaking.

But, they weren't here to enjoy the view.

Inside the room, they could see a little girl who was now four years old, hugging her stuffed rabbit, laughing at her mother.

Even though this little girl didn't really look like Kia, there was something about her that would remind others that this child was indeed Kia's child.

Could it be her smile?

And it was the first time for Amber to see Kia so calm as she smiled so sweetly at her little daughter.

"Kia..." Amber called. She couldn't control her emotions and immediately went to Kia and hugged her daughter. She burst into tears when she saw Mika looking at her all confused.

Meanwhile, Kia was silent, she didn't say anything and just patted her mother's back gently, as if to calm her down, but she didn't proceed to hug her back.

On the other hand, Lyle stood right behind his wife and waited for his turn to hug Kia after Amber had calmed down a bit and was able to control herself, so did Daniel.

But, Kia just patted their backs and that was it. Only when Alia came over to her did she hug her sister back.

Meanwhile, Mika stayed stuck to Kia's side. She didn't want to be hugged by any of them, except for Alia, because she already knew her.

Even when Amber tried to approach her, she recoiled and turned her face away, not willing to see her. Her attitude was the same as the last time they met at the restaurant, when Amber and Alia saw Mika with Candice.

She hugged Kia and buried her face in her mother's shoulder, not wanting to let go. She hugged her stuffed rabbit tightly and the laughter they had heard earlier had completely disappeared.

"Mika... do you remember? At that time we met at a restaurant," Amber said in a soft voice, trying to persuade Mika to look at her. She sat on Kia's left side and Alia sat on her sister's right side, while Daniel and Lyle sat across from them.

trying to do at this moment.

"Mika, we've met before, when you were with grandmother Candice," Amber said, not heeding Kia's words at all.

Maybe Amber's intention was good to get along with her only grandchild, but by not heeding Kia's words, of course, that wasn't a good start to start either this conversation or the possibility of reconciliation.

"Mom..." Alia finally spoke up, she reminded her mother. "Mom, you better give Mika some time, she's not used to strangers."

"But, I am her grandmother, I am no stranger," Amber retorted.

"Amber," Lyle called her name reproachfully. Only then Amber stopped, but she couldn't help but continue staring at the little girl.

In Lyle's mind, for Kia to be able to welcome them and let them hug her, there was a chance that the misunderstandings could be resolved properly and the possibility of their family being invited to Kia's wedding which would be held in less than a week was high.

"Alright, let's eat first, before we start talking." Lyle decided and they ended up having a quiet meal, which could be said to be their first meal together in years.

Even when Kia was at home, they rarely had meals together like this, because they were too busy with their own activities and had their own meal times.

"Mika doesn't want to eat vegetables..." Mika muttered, she stared at her bowl with pouty lips. She sat on the small chair between Kia and Alia.

"You're just like your mother. I couldn't persuade her to eat vegetables when she was little either," said Amber indulgently. She stretched out her hand to stroke Mika's head, but the little girl had already pushed her hand away and looked at her with a fierce gaze, which reminded Kia of Misha.

This little girl had her father's temper...

"Come on, you have to try to eat this," Kia said again, coaxing Mika while pushing vegetables into her mouth. This girl was a big meat eater and didn't like vegetables at all.

"No," said Mika stubbornly, she shook her head firmly refusing to eat, until finally Kia gave up and let her be.

"Choose the dishes that you want to eat first," Kia said. She was trying to distract Amber from Mika, because she knew her little daughter was starting to feel uncomfortable with what her mother was This was nothing unusual for Kia and not something that hadn't happened once or twice before.

While on the other hand, Amber looked sad because she was rejected like this by Mika and this was not the first time the little girl had behaved like this. She didn't want to be touched by her when she was with Candice first either.

In the end, the lunch was over and two waiters came into the room to clear the used plates before they proceeded to serve dessert.

"So, dad heard that you're getting married in a week," said Lyle, opening the conversation. As the head of the family, he was used to leading the conversation.

"Yes, in a week I will marry Misha," Kia answered calmly. Currently, Mika was enjoying her pudding and didn't really care about her surroundings.

"So, am I going to walk you down the aisle?" Lyle didn't even mince his words when he asked that, because he didn't want to talk in circles.

"No, I've already asked Dad to do that," Kia answered in a calm tone, even when she got glares from the people around her, she didn't look faltered at all.

"What do you mean by 'Dad'? He is your father," Daniel said impatiently.

"No, he stopped acting like one to me long ago, thus, I never even imagined that he would walk me down the aisle at all." Kia looked at Lyle who looked like he was about to explode with anger because he felt disrespected, but she wasn't scared at all. If anything, Kia looked very calm, as if they were discussing something normal. "At this point, he is just the one who brought me into this world and nothing more."

"Are you talking about the incident four years ago where I kicked you out of the house?" asked Lyle. He clenched his fists to hold back his emotions, but his body was trembling with so much anger, knowing that Kia had asked someone else to have that honor.

"No, you stopped acting like my father even before that," said Kia. She stared at Lyle firmly. "I called all of you here, only to say that I no longer wish to be involved with this family. I'm not part of this family anymore."

"What?" Daniel looked shocked, while Lyle didn't say anything. Amber started crying again. Only Alia looked calm and seemed to have expected something like this would happen, therefore, she didn't say anything.

"I've thought it over and I don't think there's anything good to come from being part of this family." Kia put down her spoon and looked alternately at Lyle and Amber. "You guys had four plus years to look for me, but you didn't do that at all. knowing your daughter is pregnant and alone out there..." Kia began calmly, her voice devoid of any emotions.

"You don't even think that I'm also part of this family who needs your support...

"Therefore, I think that is the last point I can stand and I have survived well these four years without any help from you guys, because you guys think and act like I don't exist, therefore, I hope that you continue to act like that and won't care to heed me."

"You can't be like that, Kia, we are family." Amber grabbed Kia's arm and shook her body, she looked at her daughter intently while her eyes filled with tears.

"Mom, haven't we been through that. People can not be a family when they leave one of their children to go on a family vacation or leave their responsibilities to her and take a vacation as they pleased without considering her feelings." Kia looked at her mother who started to cry again. "I hope, at this point, I don't want to hear that you guys consider me family anymore, because you guys never treated me like I'm one of you."
