2021-05-05 05:49:21Oh, it is raining.” Steven mumbled as he sat in the backseat of the vehicle, staring at the raindrops trailing down the window glass.
“Did you say something, sir?” Joe asked while striving to focus on the road as he gave his attention to his boss.
As Steven’s eyes swayed away from the window, he let out a sigh and said, “This scene seems too familiar.”
The confusion in Joe's expression quickly shifted into pity as he gave a glance into the V-mirror and saw the misery on his boss’s face.
“Do you think she will be able to forgive me?” Steven said while staring at his employee’s face through the V-mirror.
“I don't know, sir.” Joe slowly replied, choosing his words carefully.
The car grew awfully silent and it stayed that way until they got to the Harper's bakeshop. Then Steven rushed out of the car, ran under the heavy rain towards the bakery, and knocked on the door.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Julie, can we talk!” Steven shouted as

The light in the room looked a bit blurry for a while until Jackson's eyes could completely adjust to the brightness from the bulb.Then he turned his head to the right and stared in shock at Steven sleeping in an uncomfortable position.“Hey man, wake up.” Jackson softly said while tapping Steven a bit on the back of his hand.It took a few more gentle hits for Steven to finally open his eyes. Then he sat back in the chair and did some awkward stretching before letting out a loud yum.“Your eyes,” Jackson mumbled beneath his breath with worry in his voice.“What about them?” Steven absentmindedly asked while slightly rubbing his eyelid.“They are puffy and red. You've been crying, haven't you?”“What! No! Of course not!”As those words rolled out of Steven's lips, he could tell from Jackson's doubtful expression that he wasn't buying it, and even Steven was not convinced by his response.“Why?” Jackson calmly said, and

“Knock, knock…” Chris called out as he stood at the room door.For a moment, Jackson blankly stared at the wall. Then he slowly turned his head and said, “Come in,” while staring back at Chris and the file in his hand.After shutting the door behind him, Chris walked over to Jackson, pulled a chair closer to the bed, and sat down.“How are you feeling?” Chris asked.“Thanks for the concern, but I am sick of such questions. Let's talk business.” Jackson responded.A brief laugh escaped Chris's lip. Then he took some papers out of the file and lay them out on the table beside the bed frame. Afterward, he brought out a pen from in his pocket and handed it over to Jackson.It took a while for both of them to go through the documents, and after countless back and forth discussions, Jackson finally wrote his signature on the line at the bottom of each page.“It's nice doing business with you, partner.” Chris said with satisfaction on his face.

Jackson's fingers grabbed onto the bed sheets as his hand folded into a tight fist. He then raised his eyebrows as he coldly stared in the direction of the doorway.“What are you doing here, Leon?” Jackson calmly said, and yet his tone bore aggression.“To see you,” Leon replied with a carefree attitude.“We are not that close, so cut to the chase and tell me why you thought it necessary to visit the man whose wife you slept with.”“Well, I wanted to know how serious your condition was for Julie to abandon her son for months.”“Well, you can leave since it’s clear that my condition has nothing to do with Julie staying away from you. Oh, and next time, how about you call her instead of repeating today, okay?”Although both men's tone sounded mutual, they were far from calm, and the rage burning in their eyes only seemed to intensify by the second.“From the disgust

The building of Tech and Knowledge maintained its silence as its employees went about with their work.The moment Julie walked out of her office with a bunch of documents in her hands, she was greeted with a cheerful smile as Kate waved to her and asked, “Heading to the boss's office?”“Yep,” Julie replied, hiding her frustration behind the friendly smile on her lips.“That is a lot of papers. Can I help?”“Thanks, but nah. I got this.”The disappointment on Kate's face made Julie feel a bit terrible about her reply. But she had her reason, so she overlooked the trouble feeling in her chest and continued walking, leaving Kate behind.When Julie got to Steven's office, she stood at the door and took in a deep breath before knocking.“Come in,” Steven called out without taking his eyes off the documents in front of him.The door opened, and Julie walked inside. Then she approached the desk and banged the folders on it.

Within a year time, nothing had really changed inside of Jackson's room, and he was still rigged up to all sorts of machines as he laid on sterile white sheets and covered with a pale blue blanket.“I know that you can hear me because every time I tell you about your kids, you move. So why do you refuse to wake up?” Chris asked without taking his sight off Jackson.When he got no response, he breathed a sign of misery, one he had been holding in since he first arrived.Then Chris's fingers tapped the table in unison with the rhythm of his feet as his bright eyes surveyed the room, knowing that he was slowly giving up on hope since so far his plan didn’t seem to be working on Jackson.Even though Chris understood that an important task had been placed on his shoulders to keep Jackson up-to-date with the latest news about Miya and the kids, he felt overwhelmed by it all.All heads turned to the right when they heard the sound of a male shoe stepping on th

Seconds, minutes, and hours had gone by without a word, and everyone was getting restless.Since doctor Daniel and his medical staff went into Jackson's room and locked the door behind them, all Mrs. Harper, Mr. Harper, Julie, Rose, and Chris had been doing was impatiently waiting inside the lobby.Suddenly the door opened, and Steven walked into the hallway. Then he stopped with a frown on his face and asked, “What's going on?”No one responded as they all stared at Rose, and that only further Steven's curiosity. He then walked over to her and softly asked, “Mom, can I get an answer, please?”“Jackson has woken up,” Rose said while studying his eyes as they expressed numerous emotions.Then Steven's face became expressionless while he processed those words, and once he got done, he angrily stared at Chris, doubtfully gazed at Julie, questionably glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Harper before looking at Rose.

The atmosphere in the room quickly shifted as Jackson gazed at Chris like he was the biggest fool that he had ever seen.“Did you hit your head or something?” Jackson asked with a dead serious look on his face.“No,” Chris replied as confusion settled in his eyes, then he loudly chuckled when he understood the question.“If that's so, then why are you talking gibberish?”“Gibberish? Uhh, is that how I sound?”“Yes.”“Well, I'll be on my way then.”With a smirk on Chris’s lips, he turned around and slowly walked to the door with his hands resting in his pocket.“Wait!” Jackson shouted, feeling more stupid for falling for such words.“Yes,” Chris mysteriously said after turning away from the door to face Jackson.“Let's say, I believe you. How did it happen? The doctors said…”&

As the morning light creeped into the room, it met Jackson awake, fully dressed, and standing by the window, staring at the busy streets.“How are you feeling today, Mr. David.” Doctor Daniel asked as he shut the room door behind him.Then his eyes stared in shock at empty bed, and with fear in his voice, he anxiously gazed at Jackson and said, “Mr. David, I don't think it is wise for you to remove the wires from on your body since they are for monitoring your health conditions.”A frowned surfaced on Jackson's lips as he turned around to face Doctor Daniel, then his index finger smoothly rubbed against his cheek while his cold gaze settled on the d

Jackson walked into the dining room, fully dressed in a suit, and Rose and Miya gazed away from their food and awkwardly stared at him. “Dada!” Milo shouted, jumping in his seat. Then Mila and Milu followed his lead and started yelling, “dada.” Those words brought a smile onto Jackson's lips even though he had heard it countless times for the past few months. Beaming with joy, he walked over to his kids' seats and took Milo, Mila and Milu out of their chairs one after the other, playing with them for a moment before putting them back into their seats. “Where are you going in a suit?” Rose asked, setting her fork down on the table. “Today is Miya's final trial date, and I'm driving her to the courthouse?” Jackson said, adoringly staring at Miya. Taking her focus off her son, Rose gazed at Milo, Mila, and Milu and said, “Can you guys say ‘Nana?” “Mom, you've been trying to make them say ‘nana’ for six months now. Th

Okay. We will be out in ten.”After the wedding planner left, Jackson turned to gaze at Steven, and a frown settled on his face.“Steve, breathe,” Jackson mumbled, walking over to his friend.“I'm getting married today,” Steven whispered, holding in his breath.“I know.

“Hey, mom. I'm heading out to meet with Steven.” Jackson said, walking into the living room. Rose took her eyes off Mila for a second, gazed at her son, and said, “Okay.” Then she focused back on her granddaughter. A look of disbelief crossed Jackson's face. Then he stared at Miya and whispered, “It's like I am invisible to her. Is it legal for a mother to replace her son with her grandkids?” “I think I have lost my rights as their mother,” Miya mumbled, chuckling softly. Rose rolled her eyes at both of them, and said, “Haha, fun… my grandbabies needs their nana.” “How long do you plan to stay here?” Jackson mumbled, struggling not to laugh. “Until they are old enough to call me Nana.” “Well. That's some plan. Anyways, I got to go. Steven is planning to invoke my right as his best man if I don't show up.” In a rush, Jackson kissed the babies on their foreheads and turned to stare at Miya, striving to say the words

Well they are babies now but they won't stay like that forever. And they love you even though they can't say it.” Jackson mumbled, taking his eyes off her and focusing on the ocean.“Oh,”“I know how much my mother means to me, and the love I have for her is endless. I think they feel the same way even though they can't speak now.”“How would you know that?”

When she heard footsteps approaching the living room, Rose lifted her head and her gaze rested on her son and Miya. “Mom, we are going out. I just hired a nanny to come over, but can you stay with the kids for a few hours until we get back? Also, there will be a few other people coming over, would you please supervise them as they carry out their task?” Jackson said. “Sure, you two run about your business, and I will be right here with these adorable cuties,” Rose mumbled with a smile as Milu’s tiny hand grabbed onto her finger. His lips curved into a smile as Jackson watched his mother's face glowed with joy. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thanks, mom.” “You don't have to thank me. These are my grandbabies, and I would do anything for them.” Rose said. The corner of Jackson's mouth raised as he watched the bright smile on Miya's pinkish lips.

Then Jennie walked over to the bed, sat down on the mattress, and mumbled, “You are a dad. That was something you always wanted, and it hurt so bad that I am not the one who made you a father.”“Believe me, that's exactly how I felt when I walked into that room and saw you with your son. It hurt, it hurt so bad that I felt like I couldn't breathe, like the air I was inhaling was suffocating me.” Jackson calmly intoned.As her hand gently caressed the sheet, Jennie ushered her eyes closed and took in a deep breath. Then she stared at Jackson and said, “But you don't feel that way now.”“What?
