CHAPTER 88M I R A N D AIt's been almost two years and half, since I've seen Hugo. I miss him. I really miss being with him. I miss seeing him. I miss seeing his dimpled smile.His long brown curly hair. His handsome face. And how I feel when he's around me. So whenever I miss him, I just stare at Ben and then I get reminded of Hugo in him. I even hug Ben tight just so I could feel like I'm hugging Hugo too.During the past months, when I try to reach out to Hugo, he doesn't answer his phone. He doesn't even answer my text that much and I feel like something is wrong with how he's treating me. I know he's giving me space so I could at least have a little time for myself from everything that happened, but then I think he's really doing it wrong.He is really avoiding me.But then I try to hope he's not.Maybe he's just sleeping when I'm calling him or he's just pretty much busy with his work that's why he doesn't answer my text all the time. I haven't read news about him dating someon
CHAPTER 89M I R A N D AWhen we got home, Hugo and the kids played some video games. Ben and Bethany was having so much fun together with their dad and I was happy to see them being so happy together.When it was already getting late, Bethany had already fallen asleep on Hugo's lap where he had been humming a song to her. I walked to Hugo and carried the sleeping Bethany over my arms."You're putting her to bed?" Hugo asks."Yeah. Looks like she's pretty tired." I answered him."I'll help you." He offers."No. It's fine. Just enjoy your time with Ben. I'll put Bethany to sleep."I walked my way up to Bethany's bedroom while Ben and Hugo were still having a good talk at the living room. I carefully placed her on top of her bed, pulled the blanket up to her chin and kissed her cheek. I went down the stairs again, and heard my boys talking about random stuff that men would talk about. They even mentioned about women and Ben was asking Hugo how he could ask his crush out for a date.Good
CHAPTER 90M I R A N D ABen chuckles. "I just love you both so much. Goodnight dad."Ben stands from the couch and headed to me. He hugged me briefly and kissed my cheek. "Goodnight mom.""Goodnight, son." I kiss his cheek.Ben begins to leave the living room while I was left here alone with Hugo. He stares at me while he licked lips. "Sit with me, Rose." He says, patting the couch gently.I slowly walk my way to him and sat down silently with my knees flexed against my chest, as I wrapped my arms around my legs. I feel Hugo's hand creeping from behind me and his arm wrapping around my waist while he pulls me closer to him."Are you still mad?" He asks.We are facing each other now and his pinkish plump lips are bothering me."Yes." I answer directly.Hugo pouts. "I expected that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the years that I've never been with you. I'm sorry for being away and for staying away. I was just insanely jealous with the things that I've been hearing lately."My brows crea
CHAPTER 91M I R A N D AIt's been great since Hugo came in New York, he's been very hands-on in becoming a responsible father to his kids. He drives Ben and Bethany to school and fetches them afterwards, he eats meals with us, he even tutors Bethany and teaches her how to draw, he helps Ben with his math and history too and of course with Claire. He's been a great father to them and I'm happy that he's finally getting the chance to spend time with his kids after he's been gone.As for me, he's been sweet and I couldn't get enough of it as much as he couldn't get his hands and lips off me. We wake up everyday next to each other, we tease each other when the kids are at school or when we just woke up in the morning, he steals kisses from me time to time, we cook together, do groceries together, we make love when the kids are asleep or when they're not around, we shower together and end up getting the kids late for school, he drives me to work even when I’m on night shift and we always
CHAPTER 92H U G OThe sound of the Irish beat began to play throughout the ballroom. This was Ned's jam, it’s like an anthem for him because of the Irish feels and we enjoy singing to this oldie. We started giving out little dances on stage along the song. Ned was beginning to dance his Irish moves and we began to follow his moves. But we sort of looked ridiculous and failed as we begin to laugh at each other.We were getting older and this song kind of speaks to how we are terribly getting fat and old. And I miss being around with the lads like this. I missed sharing the stage with them and just singing our hearts out. I think the audience were laughing with us too, but we were just trying to enjoy the night.When I'm fat and oldAnd my kids think I'm a joke’Cause I move a little slow when I danceI can count on youAfter all that we've been through’Cause I know that you'll always understandI see Rose singing along to the song as she sways her head with the fast beat and I can't
CHAPTER 93M I R A N D AI was the first one to arrive at this restaurant for me to meet the wedding coordinator that Scarlet introduced to us over the phone about a week ago. Hugo is currently out with the boys for tuxedo fitting and I’m here to meet her because Scarlet said she is one of the best wedding coordinators and she's been in demand in her field too.I wore a white v-neck shirt with a Minnie Mouse print on it, a pair of black distressed jeans and some black flat ankle boots. I take a sip from my drink while I waited for Miss Jordins to arrive. I glance at my watch and she's a bit late for ten minutes now and that's what Scarlet warned me about, she's a bit late when it comes to meet-ups with first clients.I didn't want Scarlet to tell Miss Jordins that I was marrying Hugo Saintclare, since I'm sure she'll ask for a huge down payment for it once I'll mention Hugo's name. I don't want to have a very expensive wedding, I just wanted something simple and still romantic."Hi. A
CHAPTER 94M I R A N D AI gaze at my watch, and it's already six in the morning, almost seven.I'm beginning to panic as I kept asking questions where Hugo could have been these days. I sigh inwardly.Hugo still hasn't been back here in New York and I don't know where he is. I'm worried as fuck that he will ditch me today. This is my huge day! This is our huge day today and he can't miss it.Today is our wedding and I couldn't find him. I've tried to call him since the last time but he can't be reached. He's nowhere to be seen too. I've left him tons of messages but he's not responding.Fuck, where is that curly man?I sit here, in front of the huge mirror as I was staring at my own reflection. The make up artist and hairdressers were already busy making me look pretty but I don't even feel happy right now because Hugo is nowehre to be found.They were already getting ready while I don't even know where my soon to be husband is right now. I always take a glance at my phone every seco
CHAPTER 95Seventy-TwoM I R A N D AAh damn I'm nervous.I take a deep breath in before I'm going to walk down the aisle in front of those people. The orchestra begins to play once they saw me on the church's doorway. I exhale heavily once more before I begin to walk. As the music begins to play, I began to take small steps with Hugo's mom and dad, my heart was beating crazily.I do swearThat I’ll always be thereI’d give anything and everythingAnd I will always careThrough weakness and strengthHappiness and sorrowFor better for worseI will love youWith every beat of my heartEvery step I take with Hugo's parents felt like my heart was going to jump from my ribcage. I feel like I'm about to pass out anytime soon. Every time I look at Hugo as he waits for me at the end of the aisle with all the lads, I feel more scared and more excited. But he makes me feel at ease at the same time too. He tries to make my heart feel at ease.I stare at everyone who wore beautiful gowns and sui
