Bells

"Oh my God, sir, the lady is choking!"

"She's fine."

Kaiser smiled darkly at the driver and grabbed Natalia by the back of her neck, adjusting his head so she could vomit smoothly.

"Damn"

Kaiser cursed in a low tone, feeling his anger rising. This woman was constantly making his patience wear thin with no openings for failure.

"Breathe now! You're okay, okay? Stop now."

While Kaiser and the driver work to help Natalia, who has not stopped vomiting.

Charlotte left the limo and headed toward the apartment building without telling anyone she was going.

Fortunately for her, the road ahead was smooth until she took the elevator to the eighth floor. It was an achievement that made her feel proud because she had arrived without any obstacles or stumbles.

After pressing the only key available (8), Charlotte leaned her forehead on the closed elevator doors. It wouldn't hurt to take a time out until the elevator stopped on the eighth floor.

Charlotte was closing her eyes and opening her lips slightly as she almost fell asleep again. Her coat slowly slid off her shoulders and fell to the floor without her even realizing it.

The moment the elevator reached the eighth floor and stopped, Charlotte immediately raised her head and opened her eyes to see her way.

Her black eyes were deep and shiny as she slowly walked down the hall.

As she slowly walked towards her apartment, the cold wind blew over her body and her chestnut locks fluttered, at that moment the soft and familiar sounds of bells echoed in Charlotte's ears.

The passing wind stopped and Charlotte stopped walking, turned to the source of the sound, and narrowed her eyes. Her vision was as weak as ever, and yet she could see an open door in the other hall. The black void was clearly visible under the bright lights.

She tilted her head and her chestnut locks swayed over her bare shoulder. After staring for a while, Charlotte decided to check it out for herself. She walked towards the apartment with the open door and stood in front of it.

The key chain stuck in the door looked like little bells. Charlotte struck the keychain and the chimes rang out again.

The voices were soft and humble.

Charlotte smiled and looked at the keychain for a moment, then looked into the dark apartment. Everything was quiet inside, which aroused her suspicions.

It was not the habit of the neighbors to leave their doors open or forget the keys stuck in the door.

"Excuse me."

Charlotte knocked on the door and waited for a response from inside, but no one answered.

After a few moments, Charlotte decided to check the apartment number.

(353)

After confirming the apartment number, I entered without fear or worry.

"It's so cold in here, has this apartment become a mortuary fridge~?"

Charlotte laughed softly after she mocked as she took off her shoes to inspect the reprieve.

Charlotte had never experienced what a mortuary was like, or even a giant freezer, but she had to admit, it was so cold in here that she had to hug herself.

"How are you feeling? Are you okay now?"

"Fine, sort of…"

Kaiser sighed and washed Natalia's reddened face with water with his fist.

Fortunately, the driver keeps several bottles of water in his car for emergencies like this.

Otherwise, Kaiser would have had to spit on Natalia's face until she regained consciousness.

"Can you walk or should I carry you?"

Even though he already knew her answer, Kaiser decided to ask Natalia as gently as possible.

"No. Of course not, Kaiser."

Natalia complained loudly, causing the driver to stare at her.

"I can't walk, I'm really not okay so carry me."

Natalia continued to grumble and clung her arms to Kaiser's waist after she left the car and stood next to him, waiting for him to pick her up and carry her in his arms.

"Fine."

Kaiser sighed and handed the open bottle of water to the still confused driver before carrying Natalia in bridal style.

"Hold on tight, I could drop you at any moment."

"You're not serious, just stop messing with me, I'm sick."

"You're not sick, you just threw up the alcohol you drank."

Kaiser smiled and then heard the driver talking to him.

"Have a good evening, sir."

"Yes. Thank you."

The driver bowed his head slightly and Kaiser started walking to the apartment building.

After the eldest son of the Ivanovitch family disappeared from sight, the driver raised his head and entered the limousine.

The day was very busy for a humble driver for a prominent family. He does not know how the eldest son got his number, but he did his job perfectly.

But why did that blonde woman only call the eldest son "Kaiser", also it was rare to see him being so kind to others.

The driver stopped thinking and turned the car key. He almost started driving, but suddenly stopped and took a look back. He just remembered that the eldest son of the family entered with two girls, but he entered the apartment building with only one.

Despite checking the car seats, the driver found no trace of the other woman.

He quickly took out his phone and texted Kaiser.

Meanwhile, Kaiser had gone up the elevator and noticed Charlotte's coat on the floor. He sighed and picked it up from the floor while keeping Natalia in his arms.

While he waited, Kaiser took out his phone after receiving a text message from the driver. His eyes were calm as he wrote a short response and then hung up his phone.

If he had not seen Charlotte leave with his own eyes, Kaiser would not have remained oblivious to her disappearance until this moment.

The elevator stopped and headed out to Natalia's apartment. Kaiser thought that perhaps Charlotte had already reached her apartment.

However, Kaiser's feet stopped moving after seeing Charlotte walking towards him from the wrong hallway.

"What are you doing there?"

Kaiser asked Charlotte, as he looked at her groggy body and thought of many thoughts.

Charlotte staggered towards Kaiser, holding one shoe in her hand and her feet bare.

"Have you lost your way? Where's your other shoe?"

Although he had no response from the beginning, Kaiser continued to ask Charlotte questions and look around for her shoes.

He watched her approach him until she almost collided with him.

"Charlotte..?"

Kaiser called out to Charlotte and in an instant Charlotte stuck to him from behind. Kaiser stiffened in his posture and slowly raised an eyebrow.

"Charlotte."

"Hmm…"

Charlotte murmured and put her face into Kaiser's back and hugged him tightly from behind, her eyes closed and still standing.

Kaiser remained calm, then sighed and carried Natalia with one arm to lift Charlotte, who had fallen asleep on his back while still standing behind him.

Tonight was a night Kaiser would never repeat, perhaps it would be the last night he spent with girls like Natalia and Charlotte.

"I feel cold…"

"Are you awake?"

After lifting Charlotte with one arm, Kaiser did not think that she would talk to him, as he actually thought that she was asleep.

"Well of course you'll be cold. You took off your coat and the temperature is low at night."

"I want to sleep with you guys, can I"

"Of course you can. Just what's up with that look? You look like someone who's seen a ghost."

Charlotte couldn't help but laugh at Kaiser's sarcastic words, her black eyes shining softly as she looked at his neck while resting her head on his shoulder.

"We'll sleep together, okay?"

"Yes. "

After answering, Charlotte hugged Kaiser's neck and pressed her face into the crook of his neck.

Despite the strangeness of the situation, Kaiser continued carrying the two girls and headed to his apartment.

Tonight he was the epitome of a father in every sense of the word, instead of being the lucky man surrounded by women he became the father who put his children to bed.

He had some difficulty opening the door but fortunately he was able to solve the problem smoothly. He gently placed Natalia on his bed first and then Charlotte. He then took the shoe that Charlotte kept in her hand and threw it into the entrance of the apartment.

After Kaiser finished he felt his back vertebrae screamed for mercy.

"Yes…"

He sighed and rubbed his shoulders, then arched his back, his vertebrae cracking as his back arched and he finally felt relief.

On reflection, perhaps it would have been better to call him Old Grandpa instead of Father.

Again let's say it, tonight Kaiser was a true example of an old grandpa putting his grandkids to bed.

Regardless of what happened during their evening, Kaiser took his hat off to himself and pleasure for all his efforts, and no matter how many days passed, neither Natalia nor Charlotte would be able to thank him well and treat him well.

Kaiser slowly walked towards the corner and turned on the air freshener after putting on the scent of perfume he wanted for the two girls. Then he left the bedroom and carefully closed the door behind him.

Because his bed was occupied by his friends, Kaiser had to sleep on the sofa in the living room, also with his clothes on since he did not have an extra blanket.

It was like a punishment for him.

Kaiser did not want to sleep with his clothes on at all, how would he feel comfortable this way, but just thinking about Charlotte's reaction was what made him make a decision that cornered him in the corner of available options.

He was quite sure that Charlotte would never forgive him if he slept truly naked.

Kaiser sighed and lay down on the sofa, finally able to close his eyes, but he didn't feel like sleeping.

What's done is done and he can't change the past, Kaiser thought about the look on Charlotte's face when he told her about his relationship tendencies.

"I hope you forget what happened."

Kaiser whispered to himself and raised his forearm to cover his eyes.
