I am still waiting for the perfect time I will tell him the truth about who his real father is but I can’t break his little heart, he loves Andrew so much, what else am I looking for?“Okay, mom.” I walked him to his class and kissed his cheek saying, “Pay attention to your tearcher okay?”“Yes, mom.” He smiled at me. I met with his teacher, “Good morning Doctor Layla.”“Good morning, I trust you had a great nig
Chapter 77Nate’s POVEveryone gathered in the conference room waiting for me, gosh I have so much engagement to do today, once I leave the company I will be on my way to the hospital, I have an operation to carry out at exactly 11 am meaning I need to leave the company from 10 am.My life has been full of work and work, I know I am stressed about it but I had no other issues, it was the only way to avoid depression, my father is still yet to wake up, and my mother lost so much weight thinking of it and worrying, I kept trying my best to make her happy all the time.But everynight, I always think about Layla, and I wonder how she is fairing, I always wish she was not married because I later realised that we both actually had love for each other but lack of communication ruined so many things. I can’t see myself loving another, I rather die single but I was the person who destroyed my marriage with Layla, I was the one who called her and accepted the divorce. I was so foolish to let he
Chapter 78Layla’s POVImmediately I got to the country, the driver picked me up at the airport and we headed to one of the top hotels and my things were moved to my room, I will be spending a little more time here before returning to Canada, I miss my son so much.I fully settled in and called the nanny on FaceTime to see my son, “Hi Mom.”“My cute son, how are you.”“I am fine mom, Daddy bought me some new toys.” He said with happiness.“Really? That’s good.”“I want to play with my new toys, bye mom.” He said and I could not stop laughing, “Hey beautiful.” Andrew took the phone.“Oh, I didn’t know you came home already.”“Yeah, I just wanted to gift our son his toys, he misses you already and I also miss you.”“Same here.”“Are you comfortable at the hotel?” He questioned.“Yes, I am.”“If you are not, please tell me and I will ask my team over there to book a better one.”“Trust me I am good, I will be heading to the company tomorrow to sign the deal but the bodyguards, are they n
Chapter 79Layla’s POV“Ex-wife, I missed you.” He flipped my hair, I got these chills and he moved closer to me and my heart started beating so fast and boom someone opened the door. It was the girl who welcomed me from earlier, damn it, hope she won’t read the wrong meaning to this.“Sorry for interrupting boss.” She said.“No, you weren’t interrupting anything.” He said“I didn’t know you were here also Miss Layla, I am sorry, I just came to get the document on the table, I will be leaving immediately.”“Same here, I forgot my phone, that’s why I came back but your boss tried explaining about other decors he has in mind, thank you, Mr Nate, I will take my leave now,” I said acting so calmly and keeping a straight face.“Yes, thank you for listening Miss Layla, hope to see you again.” I smiled at the lady and when I stepped out, I stamped my feet out of rage continuously. What is his problem? He will never change, well I will never see him again, I am done here.I walked to the car
Chapter 80Nate’s POVI took out my phone and called Wilson, “Where are you? we need to talk like now.”“Okay let’s meet at our usual place.” He said and I ended the phone call. I stepped out and I got Nurse Ella's text, I nearly forgot her daughter’s birthday is today, I will make sure to get her the gift I promised and wish her in person then hand over it to her.I zoomed off and headed to the bar I normally meet with Wilson.“Thank you for coming.”“You are welcome and bills are on you for dragging me out from work.” He said.“That’s not a problem.”“So tell me, what is the emergency about?” He asked and I ordered a bottle of wine.“It’s about Layla.”“What about her? Are you still travelling to meet her in Canada without a plan?”“No, she is not in Canada, she is in town.”“Are you sure about it?”“I saw her with my very own eyes today, I saw my ex-wife.” I emptied the glass of wine and turned another, losing a button off my sleeves because I was already on a hot seat.“You are no
Chapter 81Layla’s POV“Layla! You got to be f**king kidding me.” She said with her usual body movements.“I know, I messed up, you are so upset with me but can we not let others hear our voices,” I tried to calm her down because I knew she was going to make a scene here.“I am not going with you Layla, for good four years? No one knows what the hell happened to you or where you have been all this time, really Layla, I thought we were best friends.” She expressed herself and this is exactly what I was avoiding.“I am not just the one at fault, you started everything,” I yelled at her.“What do you mean by that? Are you trying to blame me? I didn’t disappear for four years you did.” She replied.“Do you know what the hell happened to me?” She also yelled.“Everyone has issues that happened, but you started the whole thing and I decided to just face my problem myself.” We continued arguing then Smith calmed us down, “Okay ladies, this will not solve everything, you both need a calm pl
Chapter 82Nate’s POV“Okay fine, no need to start lecturing me.” She added and we walked together to the cafeteria. What if I tell my mother about Layla? No, I should get her back first before I inform my mom about it.I suddenly noticed my mom wasn’t eating her food, her eyes were fixed on a young couple playing with their daughter and an older man and woman was also with them, maybe the guy’s father or relative but why is mom so interested in them?“Mom, you are not eating, do you know them?”“No I don’t, I just envy them you know, I remembered when you were born, you made us whole son.”“Mom, don’t start, it’s embarrassing,” I said trying to avoid the topic.“I know you will say that, you always don’t like us talking about it but I also wish to carry my grandkids, I am not happy you had a failed marriage with Layla, you know I really like her as my own daughter.”“Don’t worry Mom, yes my marriage failed but give me a little time, I promise to fix things with Layla.” I looked at th
Chapter 83Nate’s POVI arrived at the place and Layla was right there and I felt so sad seeing her tears that way, I failed her and her father so much, I am guilty of everything.“Please stop crying, it breaks my heart when you do.” I bent down to wipe off her tears.“Nate, are you following me?” She questioned rudely hitting my hands off.“No, I am not, please Layla, I just want us to talk,” I said to her wishing she would hear me out.“There is nothing to talk about Nate, I am out of here.” She stood up out of the rage flowing through her veins and got ready to leave, I just can’t let her go, I need to stop her so we can sort things out.“Please, Layla, just hear me out, I beg of you.” I hugged her from behind and for a minute she was calm and didn’t argue further with me, guess this worked out, does that mean the feelings she has for me are very much active and have never faded?“Okay fine, what do you want to say? Say it now so I can leave, I don’t have the time to waste with you
