Chapter 124: Stop Your False Hopes
BBAP CHAPTER 124
Dalmi hid her hands behind her back and pinched the one with the other. Biting her lips, she slowly followed where the man was leading her with her eyes glued to the floor. She didn't know why the man called her at this hour for a talk, but she already had a hunch.
Johannes had been a good friend to her ever since she came to Chicago and lived there with Denver, and for years, the man didn’t fail to give her signals that he liked her. And although she also showed him that she was not ready for a new relationship, she knew the man was still hoping that she could reciprocate what he felt. Her head bumped on his back when he halted from his walk, making her in pain as she touched her forehead.
“Why are you not saying anything?” the man glanced behind his shoulders, tilting his head a bit to meet her eyes.
“Sorry...I wasn’t looking at where I stepped on,” she bit her lips and shifted her gaze to the skies.
She could already predic

His face was with his usual frown, and his eyes as dark as the night sky.Dalmi’s heart hammered loudly when she saw the man’s lips pursed. The darkness she could see from his face made her stand in a defensive stance, and at the back of her mind, she was already thinking of how she could explain everything to him.“I...I was….w-what are you doing here?” She stammered, remembering how she let Johannes hug her earlier, which made her legs wobble in fear and nervousness of what the man may think. “I-it’s Christmas! You should be with your family and not here!”“That’s why I am here, Dalmi…” Carden replied, but his eyes were on th

BBAP CHAPTER 126“Mommy, why didn’t you wake me up? I want to open my gift now,”Carden froze in his position when he saw a little boy stopped in front of Dalmi Arizona while hugging his superman toy in his arm. His almond eyes were black, thin lips, and fair-skinned.He blinked his eyes. Was he hallucinating?Seeing the child whom Dalmi called as Denver made his heart pound like a beast was punching it continuously, attempting to come out of his chest.“Denver…” the woman in front of him whispered as she reached for the child’s thin arms. Dalmi squinted her eyes towards him for a second but drifted back to the kid.“I woke up without you on my side, but when I looked into the clock I saw it was twelve. Merry Christmas Mommy!” The kid kissed her cheek and smiled widely.“I’m sorry, Denver. I almost forgot about it because we are eating here. Come, Mommy will let you ha

BBAP CHAPTER 127Dalmi’s lips quivered as she tried to lift the man’s arms, but to no gain, he only hugged her tighter each time she tried.“I...Carden, you don’t have to kneel, we can talk about this and-”“No! Dalmi! I won’t let go unless you tell me that you will introduce me to him properly. I promise I will believe everything you say from now on. I trust you, and I don’t want that Johannes to be with you when IU was supposed to be the one by your side while raising Denver!”Dalmi could feel the hatred and fear in Carden’s voice, and right now, although she could still have a bit of guilt in her heart because of her son’s treatment towards him, she also couldn't

BBAP CHAPTER 128“No one calls me Cadmus, Uncle. Even Mom doesn’t call me like that.”When confusion came across Denver’s eyes and he furrowed his brows, Carden became more convinced that Denver was a complete copy of him, only with fair skin. He cupped his cheeks and caressed them with his thumb, his eyes filled with tenderness as he felt the twisting pain in his heart.He thought, the only person missing for him to become whole again was Dalmi. But there was this another person who can both give the same effect towards him. One who could make him happy just by seeing him but could also make him cry in pain just because of a single word.He introduced himself as an uncle when he was the father, but he couldn't complain. He wanted to be called my father, but he couldn’t just give orders.“Why? Don’t you like your first name?” he asked. He could feel the heat at the corners of his eyes and the difficul

BBAP CHAPTER 129Dalmi’s heart hammered loudly when Carden let go of her and closed the sliding door. She touched her arms in an up and down motion, her body shivered in coldness as her hair danced with the cold wind.“It was late at night...shouldn’t you go home a-already?” she stammered.She didn’t know why she suddenly felt nervous, but there was something in the man’s gaze and aura that kept her from speaking straight, or even looking him in the eyes! She roamed her eyes in the dark sky. She didn’t know how many times she had seen it today, but she would gladly stare at it more rather than staring at the man in front of her who could only bring nothing but fear in her whole being.“No,

BBAP CHAPTER 130Dalmi held on to the man’s shirt, tugging it down to make him crouch as she parted her lips. He held on to her back, his hand caressing it in an up and down motion as he kissed her passionately. The woman could feel the sudden rush of heat in her body as she kissed him back, and by that time, she felt how she missed the man.She now knew that his kiss felt foreign even when they did it before. It was because, after all those years, she had forgotten about the feeling it could bring to her for she hid it at the deepest part of her mind.“Carden…” she whispered in between their kisses as she lifted her hands and wrapped it around his nape. Panting, she stopped in the middle and let go of the kiss, but his lips found their way to her jaw, planting soft, feathery kisses down her nape.Heat came rushing into Dalmi’s face as she tried to stifle her moans. With her trembling fingers, she reached for the man’s

BBAP CHAPTER 131Dalmi glanced at her reflection in front of the mirror. Her weak hands combed her tangled hair, and her eyes glued at her face.‘How could I look so tired yet sated? Crazy.’She told herself as she let go of her hair and pinched her cheeks. She was now inside her room. She was about to take a bath when she decided to look at her face for a few minutes, and from what she could see, she looked like a d*mn mess.She was just thankful that no one saw her like this or else, they would realize that she did something in her room while she was upstairs. She sighed and put her hands at her sides as she glanced at the kid behind her. Denver Arizona was lying at her bed, sleeping in deep silence like they

BBAP CHAPTER 132Water dripped from Dalmi’s hair down to her face when the man turned the shower again, this time, the water falling off from the metal above her was warm and just enough for her body to be wet quickly.Carden Thompson wasn’t looking at her much, for he was too focused on rubbing the shampoo in his hands before he put it in her hair.After the man spoke those words, she fell silent, and so did the man. But it kept on ringing in her mind, to her, it felt like repeated music that she won’t ever forget. She kept her eyes on the man’s face, as though she was trying to remember all the little details on her face as he rubbed the shampoo to the roots of her hair.“Don’t rub
