Chasing the Sun Chapter 86
Chapter 86Josh came out of the temporary container offices made on the site for the managers and higher staff and stretched his body tiredly. He looked around to see his driver and car but frowned. "Where is my car?" He whispered to himself. "Your driver is here, sir". He heard a voice behind him and an instant relief washed over him. He turned with the most enchanting smile and threw himself in the arms of the awaiting man. Enzo laughed, hugging him tightly before placing a kiss on his lips. "Ready love?" He asked Josh who nodded his head with glittering eyes. Josh was constantly blabbering about his day and the work done so far. And although he was tired, Enzo took him to a restaurant to have an early dinner."Can't we pack and go"? He asked, getting out of the car. "We can do it, Jo. Anything you say. I just wanted to spend some time with you". Enzo tucked a few strands of hair that came loose off his ponytail. "Then let's go inside". Josh held his hand, following him inside
Chasing the Sun Chapter 87
Chapter 87Xavier and Josh had thrown a grand party after the inauguration of their new building. Caroline tried to excuse since her morning sickness was killing her, but Josh had made sure to keep it comfortable for Caroline so she could come even for a short time. Angie was there too with her baby girl that she gave birth to a month ago. They were sitting together at Josh's beach penthouse since it was spacious to hold guests without suffocation and congestion. He had called in Enzo's friends, Ray, Declan, Rafe and Chelsea along with Marcus and Angie. He had them accommodated in his big twenty chair table seating for dinner. Chelsea was eating the steak in peace when she jerked. She tried to shake the big hand on her thigh but the more she moved, the stronger it held her. She tried to act normal and let Rafe do whatever he wanted to. Since she was sitting to his left, it was easy for him to touch her and eat at the same time."Chelsea can you please pass me the salad". Angie ca

Chapter 88"Xavier. Are you busy?" Caroline knocked at his office door. Xavier lifted his head up from the file he was reading and smiled at her."I am never busy for you sweetheart". He beckoned her to come over. He pushed his chair a bit to make room for her. "Sit here". He patted his lap for her to sit down, making her smile. But she didn't reject the offer. "Perfect. Now tell me what happened?" Xavier sprawled his hand over her still flat stomach. "Actually I was thinking if we could get a few days away?" She said leaning into his arms comfortably. "Where do you want to go?" "Egypt". "When?" "Hmm. After ten days". She said to him. "What's with ten days?" He raised his eyebrow. "Nothing. Angie would be free after ten days. She has her girl's vaccination and her checkup due. Also, Tisha and Brock will reach there ahead of us to arrange for stay and all that". She said playing with the buttons of his shirt."Well, now if you ask me like this, who am I to reject?" Xavier lean
Chasing the Sun Chapter 89
Chapter 89Xavier tucked her in the bed and sat beside her, racking her hair with fingers. She didn't speak a word, she didn't look at him but at least she didn't stop him. He bent down kissing her forehead as she was back facing him, and stood up to go out of the room. He didn't want to add in Caroline's tensions, and he himself needed time to sort the whole shit. He was rotating the paper weight on his desk when Enzo came inside with a cup of coffee for him. "Thanks, En. Why are you awake? Don't you have to go home?" Xavier was actually surprised to see him. It wasn't his turn tonight to stay over. "Nobody has left for home Boss and how can we? So much has happened today. How can we sleep when both of you are restless". Enzo said sincerely. Xavier nodded his head taking a sip of his coffee. "What have you decided, Boss?" Enzo asked after a moment of silence.."Honestly? I don't know. For now I am only concerned about Caroline. She is upset. And that's not a good sign. Just in t

Chapter 90"Call Declan to bring the kids". She turned to Rafe who called Declan. Good thing, they were just around the corner. Emelia and Noah were tired still they got busy with the toys scattered around in the playpen. Xiana wanted to go but Caroline gently held her hand. "Sit with me princess." She tugged her curls behind her ear. Xiana looked at her mother but sit down with Caroline. She was still kind of shy with her. "How do you like it?" Caroline asked her. "It's. It's good". She replied in a polite way. "You like living her with Emelia and Noah? Playing with them?" She asked again. "Yes. I like it". She replied again. Her focus was on the toys scattered. Caroline smiled at her. A little kid she was. "Would you like to live with them? Here. With us." She cupped her face towards her. "With here? Why?" She was confused for a while. "Mommy would live with us too?" "Well she can, but she has to go to the doctor". Caroline explained gently. "Doctor? Oh. I know Mommy is no
Chasing the Sun Chapter 91
Chapter 91Mariana came back home with Xiana late in the afternoon. Although Xavier didn't demand, Ray informed him that they only bought essentials. She in fact shopped more for Xiana than herself. And a few medicines because according to her she was advised to get admitted in the hospital as soon as she reaches back. They spent some time sitting together in a park, doing nothing, but staring in the distance. Maybe Xiana had mentally accepted the fact that her mother won't come back. "Hi honey. How was your day?" Caroline greeted them from the garden. They were enjoying the great weather. Kids were playing and running around with dirt smeared on their clothes. "Am good ma'am thank you". She smiled and greeted her back. "Not ma'am. I would like it if you call me aunty though I prefer mommy like my kids do". Caroline didn't force her. She just wanted to make her comfortable and she knew Xiana won't accept her as a mother in a short span of time. She knew it. "I.. okay aunty. Than

Chapter 92"Come with me". Xavier stretched out his hand for her. Caroline looked at him and took his head to let him take her anywhere. It's been two days in the Swiss Alps. They had their traditional festivals going on in between the falling snow. The twins were squealing with joy and Xiana was really excited to play in the snow. But she always engaged the twins with her. It was night and everyone had retired to their rooms. It was kind of a connected cottage style.Every cottage was connected with a pebbled path to each other. Brock had made sure that everyone gets privacy and comfortable stay for a week. Ray and Declan had taken the kids with them in their cottage that was next to Xavier's and they were connected via baby monitors. Despite the chill weather outside, the cottages were cozy and warm. Preheated roof and floors were set at perfect temperature for the kids and adults, still Caroline made sure that the kids were wrapped up properly. Xavier led her through the loung
Chasing the Sun Chapter 93
Chapter 93The trip to Switzerland was no doubt the most needed change and turn around for their relationship. They cleared their doubts, they cleared every fear they had. They bonded with Xiana, who never had a chance to live her childhood. She would talk daily with Mariana, telling her about her trip. What she did all day long and she would never forget to say how much she missed her. Xavier was in touch with her doctor and so far it wasn't good news. Her health was deteriorating with every passing moment. Her spleen had stopped working, thus she was prone to sickness and her diet was changed to total liquid food. Xavier told Caroline about her but he could gather the courage to talk to Xiana. He was afraid to break this news to her. Even Caroline had stopped him to tell her. She wanted Mariana to tell her daughter about her sickness. Xavier and Caroline had visited some schools in the neighborhood for Xiana and they made sure she would be treated well and there was a guard for
