Chapter 822: WE NEED TO GO BACK
Chapter 822: WE NEED TO GO BACK
“Ah, I want to ask you a favor,” said Kia when she saw Misha running away from her. After their brief conversation earlier, it seemed Misha didn’t want to be around for long.
He was still trying to digest what had happened between the two of them and what he should do after knowing that he had been rejected by Kia openly like this.
Only, Kia didn’t give him time to run away from her.
“What?” Misha asked while glancing at Kia over his shoulder. “What do you need?”
Even though he wanted to run away from there immediately, Misha couldn’t do that because he couldn’t turn down Kia’s request for help.
“My hands are dirty and wet, can you unbutton my jacket a little?” asked Kia while standing up and facing Misha.
Kia was currently wearing a jacket because the air on the mountain was slightly cooler than usual at night.
“You better button it up. It’s going to be cold tonight, you might catch a cold if you’re exposed to the wind on the mountain,” Misha suggested, even though he didn’t really want to do that only because he thought it was tantamount to torturing himself.
How could Misha not think about things he shouldn’t? He was a normal guy and this request from Kia was very ambiguous.
“I don’t need the buttons on my jacket done, it feels a little bit suffocating.” Kia walked around his body and now she was in front of Misha. She stared at the man with a pleading expression.
“You’re really strange,” Misha grumbled, but then he did what Kia asked him to do.
Misha reached out and unbuttoned the jacket Kia was wearing.
For a moment, he didn’t realize it, but then he noticed a small object hanging from Kia’s neck.
“This…” Misha reached out to touch the item, eyes wide with disbelief.
It was the ring Misha had given Kia the night before she decided to leave the Tordoff residence.
It was his mother’s wedding ring, which had been passed down from generation to generation on his mother’s side of the family.
The diamond ring hung from a necklace, making the ring a pendant.
“What… what does this mean?” Misha asked in a low voice when he saw the ring. He still couldn’t believe what he saw, therefore, he shook her head. “What do you mean, you are taking me back?”
Misha asked her directly the crux of the problem while looking at Kia’s face carefully, seeing how she would react. Had he guessed wrong and this was just a hopeless wish?
“I made it into a necklace because I want you to put it on my finger for me,” said Kia shyly.
This whole thing was Keira’s idea, she watched too many dramas and it was a shame Kia couldn’t come up with an idea better than this.
And so she followed this idea that sounded very cheesy.
“What are you doing?” asked Kia who was surprised when Misha suddenly pulled her close and unclasped the necklace before taking the ring.
“You said you wanted me to put this on your finger, right?” asked Misha. He looked at Kia very gently. “I have to do it as soon as possible before you change your mind again.”
Misha then knelt in front of Kia and immediately asked the classic question. He really didn’t waste even a minute, afraid that Kia would change her mind. Who would guarantee that she would not change her mind?
“Will you marry me?” asked Misha with the ring in his hand.
He was kneeling on the dirty ground, not caring about the pants he was wearing, in the middle of a forest with piles of vegetables and bits of fish meat not far from them.
Well, this was romantic stuff and the night sky looked quite beautiful, it would be perfect if you just ignore the vegetables and fish meat.
“Yes,” Kia answered in a choked voice.
She had a therapy session yesterday before she left for her vacation with Misha, to make sure that she made the right choice and she was indeed following her heart, not because of the stable life Misha offered her.
Even if Kia didn’t accept Misha, he wouldn’t let her suffer like she had for the past four years.
Kia would still be able to live well and only pay attention to Mika, while Misha would guarantee everything. Her life would be much easier. She didn’t even need to see Misha every day.
However, during that week she felt something was missing and it was only after she distanced herself from Misha that she realized that she missed this man.
It was that kind of feeling that Kia wanted to know, whether she would miss Misha or not when they were apart and the answer was; yes. She missed him.
She missed having Misha come to their room every night to say good night and kiss her and Mika on the forehead.
It was a small gesture but meant a lot to her and moreover, no man would treat the two of them better than how Misha was treating them.
“You have made the right decision,” Misha said as he put the ring on Kia’s finger and kissed it.
Meanwhile, Misha’s comments made Kia laugh. “You sound like someone who just landed a good deal.”

“This is the nicest and greatest deal I’ve ever clinched.” Misha then stood up. “A deal for a lifetime.”
“Looks like it’s going to be a long time.”
“I did intend to make it a really long term deal.” Misha then pulled Kia and hugged her. “So what kind of wedding theme do you want?”
“Isn’t it too early to talk about that?” Kia laughed seeing how Misha was so eager to continue this with marriage.
“We already have a child, so all that’s left to do is make it more official,” Misha said lightly. “I don’t want to delay it anymore, lest you wake up and back off.”
Kia laughed at that ridiculous reason and Misha hugged her even tighter.
Misha then kissed Kia’s forehead gently, down to her nose and just when he was about to kiss the woman’s lips, Mika’s sudden question surprised them both.
“What are you doing?” she asked with her innocent voice and of course, her unexpected arrival made Misha and Kia jump in surprise as they immediately separated from each other. “What are you doing?”
Mika then walked toward her mother and father while rubbing her sleepy eyes.
“Come here honey,” Kia said in a slightly hoarse voice, because she was a little emotional.
Mika then immediately ran into Kia’s arms and hugged her mother.
“See? Is it pretty?” asked Kia while showing the ring on her finger that was given by Misha earlier. She then smiled at the little girl. “What do you think?”
“This is very beautiful!” Mika exclaimed with sparkling eyes. “Mommy bought this?”
“No, he gave it to me.”
“Uncle gave it to mama?”
Misha grimaced when he heard the call. “I think it’s time for us to fix the way she addressed me.”
“Yeah, I agree with you…” Kia muttered. It was indeed strange to hear Mika call Misha, uncle.
“Why did you give it to mama?” asked Mika enthusiastically, while stroking the beautiful ring, which, fortunately, fit Kia’s finger perfectly.
“Because I love your mother,” Misha replied in a low voice, he rubbed Mika’s head affectionately and kissed her head.
“But I don’t have a ring.” Mika held up her ringless fingers. “Does that mean you don’t love me?”
“Of course not, honey. I love you very much,” Misha said as he took Mika from Kia’s arms. “I’ll buy you all the rings you want.”
And after that, they had the quietest dinner they could get as well as long overdue small talk. This dinner was very special because for the first time, Kia had the strength to wish that she would have her own family.
She never thought that in the end she would have her own family, have people who love her and also have a very reliable husband and cute child.
When she was a teenager and had to struggle with her own family, it never occurred to her that she would end up living like this.
Now, she finally had a small family that she loved.
At least, there was one positive thing that Kia could take from this whole incident and from the decision of her parents to kick her out of the house.
At last she saw a light at the end of the dark tunnel she was walking down.
Kia breathed a sigh of relief when night came and she and Mika got goodnight kisses from Misha as well as greetings; sweet dreams.
Of course, she would have a sweet dream.
“Don’t forget to think about what kind of wedding theme you want.”
Kia rolled her eyes when she heard this, but she chuckled when she got a kiss from Misha on the lips when Mika wasn’t looking, because the little girl would protest and not allow Misha to kiss her mother.
That night, Kia had a beautiful dream, but when she woke up, she had to face a nightmare as she realized that Mika’s condition was not well.
“Mika…?” Kia shook her little girl’s body slowly. Mika opened her eyes but then closed them again, as if she didn’t have the energy to do that.
Mika’s body felt cold, but she kept sweating even though the weather was quite cold in this mountain.
Without thinking long, Kia immediately got out of bed and ran outside the tent to look for Misha.
“We must return immediately!” exclaimed Kia as soon as she found Misha.
