Chapter 51: I Think We Shouldn't Talk to Each Other
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"But we can just take an absent just for today, don't you think I'm working too much?" Carden frowned and stood a step back, his head tilting as he tried to convince her wife.
They are inside his walk-in closet. When Dalmi told him that they have to go to work instead of cuddling inside her room, he immediately turned it down and never wanted to leave her but the woman was too pushy that he had to go out.
He didn't even wear his work attire and just knocked behind her door as she gets ready, but he couldn't convince her.
"Didn't you say that a leader should be a good role model?" she arched her brow and walked in front of him. She touched his shoulders and checked his polo.
"But we'll just take an absent this day, it wouldn't be–"

"Will there be no other way for me to overcome this crap, Dr. Osmenia? I've been going here since forever but I still think there's no progress no matter what I do!" Carden angrily hissed when he heard the same thing to the Doctor.Two weeks ago, when he went here for a check-up, he also heard the same thing from him: if he continues to drink whatever he was saying and be as healthy as possible, he could improve.But the man, no matter how he encouraged himself to do all those things began to be more and more impatient each passing day."How much time should I wait until you can finally tell me that all these things are possible? I am starting to think that you are not as great as a doctor!" he put the folder down forcibly and covered his face with his hands.

"Dalmi...I badly want to have a child..."Her eyes widened in abrupt when she heard about those words from him. She suddenly wanted to push him away, but the man's embrace and his broke voice was stopping her from doing it."A-are you serious?" she asked.Dalmi couldn't believe what this man says. It felt like everything was made out of crap and he was just bored."You must be kidding me!" she let out a nervous laugh.It's not like she didn't want to have a child. A part of her also wants to build a family they could call their own, but it was too sudden, she haven't predicted it.

Dalmi narrowed her eyes and tilted her head closer to the lady. The purple-haired woman with the pair of hooded eyes and thick eyeliner wore a frown on her face, her arms across her chest."You really are that girl!" Dalmi pointed at her and covered her mouth with her palm, her jaw dropped as she remembered the night where this woman left her alone in that parking lot after an attempt to save her."You...how dare you?!" she yelled and jumped off the high stool to get closer to her.At her side, was Jackie, still holding the shaker as he glanced at the two females in front of him."Uh...Dalmi, do you know who this woman is?" Jackie asked and tilted his head to her.Brooke, the woman with the purple hair eyed him with her sharp orbs the moment he talked to his best friend. He wrinkled his nose. Why would this woman look at me like this when I was just asking? He wondered."She was that woman, Jackie!" she pointed at her again, now, her face turning crimso

"Why do you freaking have a number of my husband?!"Dalmi's aggravated voice echoed inside the whole room. Her eyes turned bigger, her cheeks burned as though she'd hurt this woman way harder than what she did earlier."Why the hell did he sent you a message? Who are you, huh?" she reiterated.She couldn't stop herself. Something inside her was telling her to grab the woman's phone and check if it was true.The woman, on the other hand, chewed on her lips and hid her hands behind her back, taking another step backward as fear consumed her whole body.She had been watching Dalmi Arizona for a week when that thing happens, including her best friend, Jackie just to know about her whereabouts.

Dalmi opened her mouth. The excruciating pain in her chest was too heavy. Pain sheeted through her body as her legs curled towards her stomach. Her weak arms slowly went up to her knees as she struggled to breathe."Carden...planned it all," her voice trembled as her eyes went up to Brooke's face. She had this strange expression in her eyes, very far from the ice-like orbs of hers. Now, it was trained with pity...and regret.Dalmi shook her head and buried her face on her knees as she tried to halt the tears from cascading down her cheeks. In denial of what the woman said, she gasped and convinced herself that she just want to deceive her.There was no way Carden would do such a horrible thing. It was just a bunch of lies meant to hurt her.Carden was not the type of man to go beyond those things...or as what she knew. The man seemed like he doesn't care for her at that time. He almost loathed her because of the things she did to stop the marriage so why would he

Carden's hand shook the moment she saw her leaving. Cold as ice, not even offering him a welcoming hug or kiss which, she usually do every time they will meet each other.He walked back to the stove, stirring the soup even when it was not yet boiling. His hand felt like it had been used excessively that it was already weak right now.His face, even when he couldn't see it felt like it ran out of colors. The look on Dalmi's face kept on running inside his mind."Are you sure about this? What if she just ignores us?" Brooke asked as she narrowed her eyes.She met the woman when he went to one of the bars, one of his inventors wanted the woman to be an escort on their table. Brooke was just a mere dancer, but the investors kept on bugging the manager so she's got no choice but to follow it, but then, Carden saw her objections and put an act, telling them it was a childhood friend and they need to catch up then removes themselves off their table."Someone from t

"I couldn't believe my father let me marry a monster!"Carden felt like the world loses its balance and it fell above him. He couldn't believe those words came out from her sweet wife.Those pair of ocean orbs turned from being gentle to something which could mirror the umbrage inside her. All of it felt too much for him."D-Dalmi what are you saying? I was just-"The chair's leg interrupted his words as Dalmi stood up and face him. Her bloodshot eyes looked like a mixture of rage and cold, and it was making him more and more depressed."D-do we have a problem? Why are you being like this?" he tried to reach for her hand, making up excuses as though it could stop the fight between them. He couldn't bring himself to admit his wrongdoings, even though he knew telling the truth could end this...and he was afraid that the relationship they just started would come along with it."Did you do it?" Dalmi asked in a shaking voice. In her mind, she was begging fo

Chapter 143: When They Thought Things were fixed “This is why I don’t trust you, Carden. I don’t want my child to marry someone as incompetent as you.” The way the old lady said it to him felt like it was a dagger sent to his chest. To hear his wife’s mother those words were too painful to swallow, and his mind couldn't accept. “You...don’t trust me? Auntie, I was just worried about my son!” “Because you know you cannot protect him! You know you can’t protect your family because you are incompetent! I already knew you are that kind of man when I met you!” Carden had never thought that Dalmi’s mother could be like this. Never in his entire life, he had imagined for one of the

You were with him!” she yelled when it dawned on her. She was expecting the man to deny it, or to say that he was just joking and would laugh, but she was wrong!Her eyes turned sharp, and her cheeks burned in anger. “Tell me you are joking right now, Carden! Bring him to me or you’ll never want to experience my anger!&rd

Chapter 141: Where is He?“Mommy! When will Daddy come to pick us up?” Denver pouted his lips and forcibly leaned his back on the couch. It was a Saturday morning and Carden was promised to bring him to the mall and play.It has been a month since that night, and everything was going smoothly. She thought the man was just joking and that he only said it to her because they finished making love, but after a week, with a velvet box and diamond ring in his hand, he proposed to her.It was the second time that they will get married but at that very moment, it felt like it was the first...and it really was. Because they started at a forced marriage and although they had an engagement, there was no love and meaning behind it compared to how it was at that time.Until now, she couldn't believe that she would once again marry Carden Thompson. In a span of a week, the preparations started. The first week became busier than she thought, for it was the t

Chapter 140Carden crossed his arms as he leaned his back at the wall. It was past eleven, and Denver and Dalmi were already in a deep slumber; however, he still couldn’t get himself to sleep.He was standing on Dalmi’s veranda, his back leaning on the wall and his eyes gazing at the deep, night sky. His disheveled hair kept on dancing with the cold wind as if it was upbeat music that won’t stop his hair from moving sideways, but he didn’t mind, for the only thing he wanted right now was to enjoy the peacefulness of the night.Up until now, he still couldn't believe that everything was falling into their right places. Denver accepted him as his father, he and Dalmi were fine...and they’re gonna sleep on the same roof tonight. It felt nostalgic and surreal, like a dream...and he was scared it might be taken away once he wakes up tomorrow because he didn’t want to fall asleep.“I thought you were asleep,” he s

Did Denver really call him his daddy or he was just dreaming?“Can you...can you repeat what you just said earlier?” he said. His eyes are still wide from the shock as he glimpsed at Dalmmi who also mirrored what he felt right now.Ecstasy, shock, disbelief...all of it was mixed up in his heart that he didn't know how he would react.“I am asking if you wil

Tears cascading down his chubby cheeks as his face reddened in anger.“I asked Yaya Linda to find it in the refrigerator but she said there was nothing!”No matter how she tried to act like she was sad about his loss, she couldn't. The kid just said that he didn’t like it in front of Carden, now that he was gone, he was searching for it?“I thought you don’t like it? Why are you asking Yaya to find it for you?” She wanted to laugh, but she knew her child would cry more if she did so she just touched his hair, pushing it upwards to see the whole of his face.

Chapter 137Dalmi’s jaw dropped when she saw how Denver put the spoon down and crossed his arms like a grown-up man. The kid, who obviously looked like he enjoyed the first two scoops when he was tasting it, now looked as though he had tasted the worst banana split he ever had.“I-is he serious?” She shifted her gaze towards Carden who just picked up the spoon and sat at the seat where Denver sat earlier. He picked a portion of the desert and acted as if she was now in front of him.“Carden! Aren’t you offended that your child didn’t like what you did?” she furrowed her brows. If her son was already weird, she already knew that he got it from his father. Instead of thinking as to why Denver had to walk out, he just eats the leftovers! She glared at him.“Why? Should I be sad that Denver walked out?”“Yes! He just said he doesn’t like it!” she retorted and crossed her arms.

She was then, in gape and shock of the sudden revelation earlier, and seeing how her son ran away from them made her heart hurt.“Denver!” She called and was about to chase after him when he realized that Craden didn’t stand up and that he was still standing on his knees.“Carden, I’m sorry... i'll try to talk to him and explain things,” she said in a troubled voice and sighed. “I told you we can’t just say this to him in a rush, I know Denver would freak out…” she shook her head.But the man just let out a burst of low laughter before he stood up and clapped his hand to clear off the dust.“I don’t want to lie, Dalmi...I am hurt, but I will never give up on him. I promise I will wash off every memory from that man until he accepts me as his father.”That
