Chapter 31: Good People Are Bullied. Meet the parents and deal with them. ...
How did things get to this point?
Kaka fell into deep thought.
Seeing that the situation had become awkward, Leah looked at Bosco on the left and Kaka on the right, and did not forget to force a smile at Simone who was holding her hand tightly.
In order to receive Kaka's parents, she took special leave, but now no one is talking. What's going on?
Avoiding Simone's eager expression, she turned her head and winked at Kaka. Her funny face made the originally serious Kaka almost unable to maintain his facial expression and laughed out loud.
He cleared his throat and broke the silence: "So, why did you come here suddenly?"
Bosco saw that his wife was turning her elbows outward, sitting next to the female police officer and whispering to her without even glancing over here. His son did not ask about his father's well-being when he saw him, whom he had not seen for a long time, and just sat next to the female police officer without saying a word. He had long been dissatisfied.
After hearing what Kaka said, he said unhappily, "Can't I come here with your mother to travel and visit you?"
Oh, travel. Kaka nodded and mercilessly exposed: "Tourism to Milan at 10:30 pm."
"That's not because of the jet lag!" Bosco blushed. "You think I want to come!"
"Where's my brother?"
Kaka didn't see his brother, and he felt a little disappointed. Putting aside the surprise of his parents' sudden arrival, he had wanted to take this opportunity to bring his family to meet Leah's family. Such an occasion, without his brother, felt somewhat incomplete.
"Rodrigo still has a game to play. He has been playing well in Sao Paulo recently. You didn't even bother to call your brother to check on him."
Kaka, who had just called Digan the day before yesterday: ...
"Besides, where would he live when he came? You sold the house without even telling me. If we hadn't called you last night, would we have had to go to your old house and knock on the door only to find out you'd moved out?"
In fact, Bosco had already learned from Di Gan that Kaka had changed his address, otherwise he would have taken a taxi directly from the airport last night. Why would he call him?
He said this on purpose to express his dissatisfaction to Kaka and imply that he did not take him seriously.
"No," Leah interrupted with a smile as she saw Kaka's head lowering. "I've asked about that house, and it's still empty. I've already bought it as an investment."
Kaka turned his head quickly. He had been training hard during this period and had lost all the fat on his face that he had gained during the off-season. Now his face was angular. His eyes were wet after being scolded by Bosco, so Leah didn't dare to look at him for too long, for fear that she would not be able to resist kissing him.
"Did you buy that house?" he asked.
"Yes," Leah leaned over and whispered, "That's where we first met. I want to keep it as a souvenir."
Kaka's long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly, and he pursed his lips to avoid making his smile look too silly.
After enduring it again and again, Leia couldn't help but kiss his cheek.
“Cough cough cough——”
Bosco beside him coughed violently. He opened his mouth to say something, but Simone, who was standing next to him, quickly stuffed a croissant into his mouth.
This is the room service provided by the hotel for special suites. Early in the morning, there are fresh salmon, tuna and other seafood, as well as freshly cut ham, croissants and some common breakfast items. There are even several kinds of milk coffee and red wine, and they are all delivered directly to the bed.
They had already slept for a while on the plane, and then they forced themselves to rest for the whole night. Now they felt dizzy and hungry, so they ordered room service, but they didn't expect to receive such a large meal. They were surprised by Leah's family situation.
Last night, after getting off the plane, Kaka took me directly to the hotel where Leah used to stay and I checked into her penthouse suite. Since she moved out, the place has been cleaned and closed again, waiting for Leah's return.
Fortunately for Tokaka, there just happened to be no extra room at home, so he had to put his parents here. It's hard not to say that he had planned it all along, not wanting his family to live under the same roof with Leah, fearing that they would have conflicts.
Seeing her husband constantly finding fault with their son, Simone could no longer sit still. She always loved her eldest son the most, who had suffered from illness in childhood.
Seeing her son and his girlfriend sitting together, their gestures revealing an intimacy and familiarity that made her feel relieved. She couldn't help but smile and said, "He's been staying at Durant's house lately, and they're always hanging out. How about you? Have you been injured in any recent games?"
Last night, when his mother saw him for the first time, she held his face and looked at it carefully for a long time. She was relieved when she saw that he had no external injuries. Now she asked about it again, and Kaka knew that she was scared by the injury.
"No, I'm fine. The people at the club are taking great care of me." Kakara took Leah's hand and said to Simone with a serious expression, "Lia too. She called me yesterday to make an appointment with the nutritionist and the rehabilitation team."
“We never sleep in.”
Because Luna would come and scratch the door in the morning, Leah would kick him off the bed and ask him to open the door, while she turned over and fell asleep.
“I eat healthy too.”
Neither of them can cook, so on training nights they choose to order food from the hotel's private delivery service, which is organic and delicious. "She also trains with me on her days off."
He was referring to the time when he was doing push-ups while Leah was sitting on his back playing with his phone, while he was pushing the equipment while Leah was eating snacks beside him.
"All in all, we're a perfect match," Kaka concluded.
His words changed Bosco's opinion a little. Although he knew that there were a lot of exaggerations in them, as a father he could see the happiness in his son's eyes.
He did not agree to let Kaka choose his own girlfriend, in large part because football players always like to date models or hosts, and the scandals they caused were difficult for Bosco to accept. He couldn't even imagine replacing Kaka's name.
But after arriving in Milan, he learned about Leah's family situation and observed how they interacted with each other on a daily basis. He had to admit that this female police officer was completely different from what he had imagined.
"When are you going to quit?"
Bosco's sudden question interrupted Simone's telling Leah about the interesting stories about Kaka's childhood, and she didn't react for a moment.
"Who? Me?" Leah asked, pointing at herself.
"Right," Bosco said, apparently oblivious to Kaka's frantic winking at him, even though his movements were so exaggerated that Leah could see them. "Ricky is an athlete and needs someone to take care of him. His agent is in Brazil all year round and can't take care of him in every aspect of his career or personal life. I remember Ricky said last night that your sister is running the family company. I'm sure you have talent in this area too. Why don't you quit your job and stay home and be his agent?"
Oh my God, Kaka didn't even dare to look at Leah's face. She always didn't like others to interfere in her career, not to mention Bosco's suggestion that she should just quit her job and be a housewife at home. This was completely contrary to Leah's life plan!
Unexpectedly, instead of getting angry and slamming the door, Leah accepted Bosco's rudeness completely and responded very calmly:
"I will not resign, even if Kaka stops playing or moves to another country, I will not resign."
What a joke! She had finally cracked a major case and earned a promotion, but now her transfer was about to end and her file had been retrieved and sealed. Asking her to resign now was simply impossible.
"As for the agent, I've discussed it with Kaka. He has already terminated his contract with Ribeiro. The club is also aware of the news. Galliani took the initiative to contact Bronzetti as Kaka's competitive agent, and the process is now underway. As for the commercial agent, my sister has several subsidiaries with many people who could fill this position, and Maldini has also provided us with his financial team for reference."
Leah smiled slightly and continued, "Anyway, we have a lot of choices now."
The implication is that he doesn't need to worry about it, and should just be a good father to Kaka and not interfere in their careers.
Kaka shared his father's surprise. He had just finalized his contract with Ribeiro and was asking his national team and club teammates if they had any familiar agents they could recommend. He had no idea what was going on, whether it was Galliani or Maldini. Kaka was completely unaware.
"Are you serious?" he asked in a low voice.
"Of course, I just asked if there's any interest in cooperation. I'll tell you once I get a response." Leah glanced at him and secretly pinched his thigh. "Control your expression and don't let it slip."
Hiss. Kaka's leg muscles weren't tight, and the sudden pinch on his side nearly made him cry out in pain. Fortunately, Bosco didn't notice, so he quickly adjusted his expression.
"They are all after profit, not really doing it for Ricky's good!"
Bosco grunted for a long time before he uttered this sentence, but his expression began to relax. It would not be a bad thing if there was a more professional and suitable team to plan Kaka's future career.
but……
He glanced at the two people standing close together. Kaka was holding Leah's hand, saying something to her. And what about the policewoman? She just said a few perfunctory words and then stopped talking.
This won’t do!
"I have to stay and take care of Ricky's daily life!" Bosco made the decision immediately. "He is my son. I know what he wants best."
No, you don't understand. What he wants most now is to marry me.
Leah complained silently in her heart, but remained expressionless. She even stopped Kaka from arguing with his father. "Okay. How about this? You guys stay in the hotel for a few days. Kaka's Champions League schedule is very tight lately. We'll ask someone to look at houses and rent you an apartment near home."
"Okay," Bosco said reservedly, "I have no objection."
"I won't live here long. I'm worried about Rodrigo being in Brazil. I'll just play in Milan for a few days and then go back."
Simone was told by her husband to come to Milan at short notice, hoping to meet Kaka's girlfriend in person. Lea's career, family, and personality all made her optimistic about the relationship. She wondered if she could even have a beautiful Italian daughter-in-law and grandchildren who would inherit their parents' happiness and wisdom.
"I'm relieved to see that you're living a good life." She took Leah's hand and entrusted her seriously, "Ricky is an honest child. When he was young, he was reluctant to wear the new sneakers I bought him. During the game, he ran for a long time but was reluctant to shoot because he was afraid of getting them dirty or damaged."
Simone slowly talked about Kaka's childhood, and Leah listened very carefully. This was a time that she could not access from fans or the Internet. Usually Kaka was reluctant to talk much. Who would like to talk about his embarrassing stories in front of his lover?
Leah: "He's like that now, too. I once bought him a watch, and I chose a sports model for his daily use. He ended up hiding it in the safe at home! Later, I bought him several more watches before he finally took it out and wore it."
As Kaka fidgeted and tried to stop his girlfriend and mother from making fun of each other, the two of them burst into laughter.
Kaka helplessly waited for the ladies to calm down before hugging Leah from behind and complaining to her mother, "Mom! Don't always talk about my embarrassing childhood memories. I'm grown up now!"
"And you," he tightened his arms and held Leah tightly in his arms, "don't say bad things about me, it will make me look stupid."
"You're not stupid," Leah turned around and held Kaka's face, looking straight into his eyes with her big round eyes, and said seriously, "You're just stupid." Then she exerted force with her hands, squeezed out a little chicken beak for him, and laughed with Simone again.
Good people are often bullied. Kaka sighed and felt that he must have paid the price for often bullying his teammates in the locker room. Now he has a girlfriend and mother who like to play pranks on him.
