Chapter 33 Bad Mom Paul, Leah doesn’t reply to my message! …
The three people from the two families spent more than half a month in peace and security. They all thought that they had frightened each other and would be able to live a peaceful and happy life from then on.
Kaka knew how hard it was to achieve this peace, and he saw all that Leah had done. He remembered that Leah had always been obsessed with Matthew's damaged Mercedes-Benz, and planned to buy her a luxury car for her daily transportation.
After choosing for a long time, he finally set his eyes on a silver Ferrari and prepared to ask Bosco to buy it for him.
Why didn’t you let your assistant buy it? The reason was simple: you didn’t have the money.
Part of his salary was given to Leah for real estate investment, and the bulk of the money was kept by her father for paying the brokerage team's salaries and long-term savings. He did not have much liquid funds on his hands, so before placing an order, he called his father and asked for his opinion in a roundabout way.
"No!" Bosco sternly refused. "You just got a raise and you're already buying a luxury car. Are you planning on using the money to go out to dance clubs and spend it on a life of luxury?"
"Dad! I want to buy a car for transportation." Kaka tried to defend himself.
Bosco asked, "Don't you have a car that broke down?"
Kaka felt guilty: "No..."
Bosco asked again: "Did the club change its endorsement?"
Kaka felt even more guilty: "No..."
"If you don't give me a reason that can convince me, I won't allow you to take the money. Otherwise, go find your girlfriend and see if she agrees." Bosco laughed and refused mercilessly.
Of course Kaka wouldn't tell Leah that this was a surprise he wanted to buy. Another reason was that he really wanted to buy a luxury car. He was only in his early twenties, so wasn't it normal for him to own a Ferrari?
"no."
Lying in bed that night, Leah listened to Kaka's complaints about Bosco. She objected, "Your current car isn't cheap, and it was only purchased last year. There's no need to buy a new one."
But she was also afraid that repeated rejections would make Kaka rebellious, so she coaxed him, "You've got such a high-profile car, and you only train in the suburbs every day. What a waste. How about this, when you have time, we can go to the F1 race, okay? We'll buy whichever brand wins the championship. I'll talk to your dad."
Kaka, who was easy to coax, got his girlfriend's promise and contentedly pulled her over and let her sleep in his arms. What car, what Ferrari, it didn't matter anymore.
September 14th was AC Milan's first Champions League group stage match against Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine. The club needed to travel to Ukraine in advance to acclimate to the weather and the pitch, so everyone was given the day off to go home and pack their bags before returning to Milanello to catch the club bus to the airport.
While this wasn't their first time living apart, this time, Lia would be the only one left at Milan, facing Bosco, who wasn't yet fluent in the language. So, when the team left for Ukraine for the Champions League, Kaka was incredibly worried. He approached Lia, who was helping with the packing—specifically, the one who had been responsible for carrying Luna out of the suitcase, running back in, and then carrying her back out again—and embraced her, reluctant to leave.
"Are you really not going to go to Ukraine with me?"
"Why should I go?" Leah tugged at Luna's paw, the two of them engaged in a tug-of-war. "So that the media can finally find something to report, saying I'm crazy about love and can't leave you even for a moment, afraid that my promised rich husband will run away?"
Kaka was speechless. It was true. If Leah had gone to Ukraine with the team, as soon as she got on the plane, the tabloid media would immediately print reports mocking the two of them for their unbreakable love, like conjoined twins.
And even if Leah went to Ukraine with him, the two of them could not meet. Kaka needed to eat and live with his teammates in the club, and Leah would be alone in a foreign country, not to mention that she still had work to complete, so she definitely would not go with him.
So Kaka just asked this question, and he already knew the answer in his heart that it would not cause much excitement, but he was still "heartbroken" by Leah's ruthless rejection.
"It's okay, we'll be back soon anyway, and it's not like we've been separated for so long before." Leia finally took Luna out of the suitcase. She sat on the ground panting, ready to lock the door outside with the cat and its fur.
Before he could do anything, Kaka picked up Luna and held her in his arms. Man and cat rubbed against each other. He raised Luna's paw and waved it at her, accusing her in a choked voice: "Liya is a bad mother. We won't play with her anymore!"
bad?
Leia narrowed her eyes and looked at the father and daughter who were unaware of the situation. They were still pinching each other's paws and kissing each other's heads. Although Luna's paws were always against Kaka's face, he refused to give up and kept moving forward, as if to make up for the chance of not being able to meet or kiss each other in the next few days.
"Bang--"
As the cloakroom door was closed, Kaka stood outside holding Luna, looking at each other blankly, the two similar faces revealing the same silly expression.
Kaka: "Your mother seems angry."
Nonsense. Luna didn't want to pay any attention to him. She flicked her tail and jumped out of Kaka's arms, then went back to her room to parkour with an elegant cat walk.
“Bang—”
"Babe, I was wrong—"
Kaka leaned against the door and shouted inside, trying to soften her heart with his pitiful voice.
With a click, the door was pushed open a crack. Kaka's eyes lit up, thinking that Leah was going to let him in. But before he could squeeze through the crack, the crack was widened again. The next second, a familiar suitcase was pushed out, and then the door was slammed shut again.
Kaka awkwardly touched his nose which was almost hit by the door panel, and glanced at the suitcase on the ground. It was the one they were packing just now. There was the red and black logo of Milan on the back of the suitcase, and a big number 22 was lying there on the front, with its fangs bared as if mocking him.
He was about to go abroad to compete, but he didn't even get a farewell kiss or a goodbye hug from Leah. He hung his head in frustration and was kicked out with his suitcase.
Kaka arrived at his father's house, carrying his suitcase. He rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered. He didn't have a key. Bosco had solemnly refused their offer to keep a spare key, saying it was a matter of mutual non-interference. He didn't ask for Kaka's key either, though he could now go to his father's house as freely as if he were alone.
Kaka took out his cell phone and called his father, but the line rang several times before being hung up.
Thinking something had happened to Bosco, Kaka called again, but the call was hung up every time he made four or five calls.
The call interface just disappeared, and a message popped up on the phone screen:
"I'm in class, don't disturb me. If you have any problems, solve them yourself, or go find that female police officer of yours!"
He stared at the few lines of text on the phone with wide eyes, looking at it in disbelief. He felt as if he was dazzled. What was he mumbling? When did his father become so indifferent? He was even speaking Italian!
Abandoned by both his girlfriend and his father, Kaka had no choice but to call Inzaghi, hoping he could pick him up on the way to Milanello. On the way, he told Inzaghi about being kicked out, only to be met with merciless ridicule.
Inzaghi: "So that's why I don't have a girlfriend."
Kaka was puzzled: "Isn't it because when you go out with them, you just watch them eat and don't eat a single bite yourself? And you don't want to live with them because it's too noisy at night and it keeps you awake."
Inzaghi: "...be quiet, I need to concentrate on driving."
Kaka: “Oh.”
Even after landing in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, Kaka was still feeling the sadness of being abandoned. He snuggled up in his bed and sent a message to Leah:
【I haven't seen you for a day. Do you miss me? 】
It had been a long time since Kaka sent the message, but he waited and waited but received no reply. He couldn't help but want to call her to ask what she was doing, but he was afraid of disturbing her, so he could only cover his head in the quilt silently.
He and Maldini were in the same room this time. Maldini was on the balcony making a phone call. After hanging up, he returned to the room and almost couldn't help laughing. He walked over, patted the bulge on Kaka's bed, and asked, "Excuse me, is anyone in there?"
"Paul!" Kaka flung back the covers. It was a hot day and the air conditioner was on, so his hair was soaked with sweat. He feigned anger and said, "Liya didn't reply to my message!"
What could he do about the young couple? Martini spread his hands and said helplessly, "What should I do? Why don't you give her a call and ask?"
"I won't!" Kaka stiffened his neck and said firmly, "I won't bow my head!"
No way.
Just as he finished speaking, Kaka's phone beeped and he instantly disappeared from Maldini's sight. He turned over and touched the phone on the bedside table. Inside was Leah's reply:
[I just finished my work. Do you have time? I miss you. Can I call you? ]
A kissing emoticon is also included.
Kaka's face instantly lit up with smiles, without any of the frown on his face just now, and he happily dialed the phone.
Maldini: ...that damn kid changes his expression so quickly.
He considerately gave the two of them some space and mouthed to Kaka that he would go to the next room and stay there for a while before coming back. Kaka was talking to Leah in a sticky manner and had no time to pay attention to him. She nodded randomly and concentrated on the phone.
Kaka asked in a long tone: "Why didn't you reply to my message? Are you busy?"
Leah said weakly, "Don't mention it. Someone's coming home again."
The fatigue in her voice could be heard through the crackling sound of the phone. Kaka felt distressed and asked quickly, "Who's here? Are you okay? Do you need me to ask my assistant to help you?"
"It's okay, it's okay," Leah quickly stopped him. She knew how strong Kaka's execution was in this area and was afraid that she would have to get up and open the door again. "It's my brother Enzo. He suddenly showed up at the door with a suitcase and happened to run into your father knocking on the door."
What's going on? Kaka was puzzled. They had never met before, and there was such a big age difference, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Bar?
This is a big problem.
When the two met, it was like a bolt from the blue, instantly setting the city of Milan on fire.
