YM778.TV Chapter 266: Ideal Father Figure
But unfortunately for her, Kafka didn\'t start scolding Bella and go on a long rant like every parent did when their children did something, like she thought he would.
Instead, he simply asked Bella to come in front of him, which she obediently did since she had no other choice. And then, as she looked right up at him with trembling eyes that were ready for a scolding, he asked a simple question.
"Bella, do you remember what I was holding in my hands earlier?"
"Y-Yes...Yes I do." Bella shivered at the thought of those two brown centipedes, which were a foot long each, that she feared as much as spiders after the scene she witnessed.
"Well, unless you don\'t want two of those little critters to be thrown into your bed when you sleep, you better listen to your mother\'s words without asking any questions back from now and also tell her of any worry you might have in your heart, since Camila is ready to listen to anything you have to say, no matter how embarrassing it may be."
"...Do you understand what I just said?"
Kafka casually threatened Bella, which made her face pale at the thought of those ugly things crawling in her sheets, while Camila thought he was scaring her with the spider they dealt with earlier.
She sighed since she couldn\'t use spiders to discipline her daughter since she herself was afraid of them, but she wanted to do so since they seemed to be quite effective with how timid and afraid Bella looked right now at the mention of them.
"Y-Yes, I understand...I won\'t keep such dire matters to myself ever again, a-and I\'ll tell my mom if something like this ever occurs again." Bella immediately agreed when she thought of the horrid scene earlier, which surprised her mother since she used to always fight back when she was lectured and made her look at Kafka with a newfound appreciation for his innate disciplining abilities, which made him out to be the ideal father figure Bella needed in her life.
"No, you can talk to your mother about any intimate matter you\'re going through that involves your feelings or emotions, or if you need someone to talk to about what\'s going on in your life, since Camila would be a much better help in that aspect..." Kafka corrected her statement.
He then patted her head in a caring manner as she looked up at him with coy eyes and said, "...But if you\'re going through any issues with boys or anything that can potentially put your dignity as a woman and livelihood at risk, then you are to inform me about it, and I promise you that I\'ll make it as if the person creating the problem never existed in this world in the blink of an eye "
Camila looked at Kafka with a rather provacative look in her eyes, as when she heard his rather domineering words, she got turned on a bit and hugged his burly hand even more to smell his manly odour that comforted her.
She even got swept into the mood and started to wonder if her children with Kafka would also be as tyrannical as him, and she wondered how she was going to manage those little devils that took after their father.
Bella, on the other hand, knew that he wasn\'t simply saying some tough words to assure her and knew that he would really wipe out someone who\'s bothering her if she simply said so after seeing what he had done to the guy earlier.
But even though she was supposed to be frightened knowing that the boy in front of her wasn\'t afraid to take a few lives if he wanted, which was borderline psychopathic behaviour, she actually felt comforted and safe when he heard his words and made her want to stick to him at times, since it was only with him did she truly feel at peace in this cruel world that was built against women like her.
Her appreciation and dependence towards Kafka increased so much after hearing his promise that she once again said,
"O-Okay, Daddy...I\'ll make sure to tell you if something like this happens again."
"You really can\'t stop calling me Daddy, can you?" Kafka asked with a smile on his face, while Camila chuckled like everything was going according to her plan.
Bella didn\'t even say anything back in response, as by now she too understood that she wasn\'t simply making mistakes and seemed to really want to address him as her father due to the sense of safety and comfort he provided, which she didn\'t know what to make of other than to bow her head and blush.
"Well then, now that everything is settled and hopefully you two will talk about everything that\'s happened in the past after I leave, I think I\'ll be off now." Kafka said as he broke his hand away from Camila\'s hold and stopped petting Bella\'s head to both their disappointment and sadness, like someone had stolen their treasure from them.
"I\'ve got some work to do in the morning, and I can\'t delay it any longer, so I\'ll be leaving now."
The work Kafka mentioned was actually just him paying the guy with centipedes in his stomach a visit, as anyone who thought that he had let him slip away was severely wrong.
Kafka wasn\'t the type of person to show mercy since he knew that leaving potential threats was the worst move possible and was always thorough with what he did, meaning that Bella wasn\'t ever going to see that scum ever again, nor would anyone else, unless they decided to dig him up from the mountains near by.
"Come one, you two...Don\'t look at me with such sad faces. It makes me feel guilty for leaving." Kafka said when he saw the mother daughter pair looking all down in the dumps, since they wanted him to stay a bit longer. "Rather, I would appreciate it if you gave me a kiss goodbye; that will surely brighten up my day."
Kafka looked at Camila, gesturing for her to come and give a kiss. Camila blushed when she saw him eagerly looking at her, but that didn\'t stop her from taking a step forward and giving him a little peck on the lips.
Chu!~
Camila immediately stepped back after giving him a kiss that washed all her sorrowful feelings away and shyly looked around, hoping none of her neighbours saw that.
"What about you, my adorable little daughter? Aren\'t you going to give your father a kiss as well?" Kafka asked Bella, who was blushing at the sight of her mother looking so shy and embarrassed from a little kiss when she was a mature woman, which was quite wholesome to look at.
Bella didn\'t say anything to deny what Kafka said, like she used to do before, and quietly walked up to Kafka, stood on her tippy toes, and gave him a kiss on the cheek, just like she wanted to do herself for helping both her and her mother out and acting as a pillar they could rely on in their lives, when they needed support the most.
Chu!~
"Well then, I\'ll be off now. Make sure you two sort out the past drama you have with one another. Especially you, Bella...You better let out everything you\'ve been holding back to your mother, or else you know the consequences."
Kafka said his goodbyes while casually threatening Bella, which made Bella hide behind her mother\'s back in a fluster while Camila giggled at the sight, making her feel as if merry times were soon to come with her daughter now by her side as well, which she couldn\'t wait for...
