Summer's Point of ViewTime dragged on, and there was still no sign of Steven. I did not expect him to find us so quickly, however, given the fact that he was well-connected, it should have been a rather simple task for him. Could he possibly be doing this deliberately?"When are we going home, Mommy?" Devon inquired as his eye began to deteriorate.As he laid on my lap, I stared at him. I kissed his brow and gently lulled him to sleep. “Why? Do you want to see daddy?"He just nodded till he was completely enveloped in lethargy. On the other hand, I just leaned back and felt as if I were suffering from a headache. I was at a loss for what to do to keep him from constantly asking where his dad was. Fortunately, Stefani was old enough to understand things. She was just reading book and not complaining. However, I was not sure if the situation was burdening her.I wanted Steven to find us as soon as possible. Nevertheless, with no sign of him, it appeared that he bad no desire coming. Si
Summer's Point of View"Let's go upstairs."He tenderly pressed his lips to mine, as if he were handling a fragile piece of glass. I felt every gentle brush of his lips and the sweet savor of his embrace. With one arm around my waist, he carefully lifted me up, bridal-style, and walked me up the stairs."I miss your scent. I'm losing my mind without you at my side," he muffled, his warm breath on my neck, giving me a tickle and releasing thousands of volts. “Like I can go mad every time I wake up in the morning, not seeing you by my side.”With his help, I eased myself onto the soft bed, feeling its gentle support. As I settled in, he positioned himself beside me; the mattress creaking slightly under his weight. In a daze, my gaze fixed on him, my heart pounding so loudly, I could almost hear it in my ears. His face was marked by a rugged handsomeness that couldn't be ignored. Damn this face! I want him all mine.His ardent whisper hovered near my ear. "Wife, each day I wish for you
Steven's Point of ViewThe following morning, I woke up before anyone else. Not wanting to disturb her slumber, I quietly slipped out of the house without informing her. However, before my exit, I prepared breakfast for them, as I had requested the helpers to take their much-deserved vacation.The hours flew by, and before I knew it, night had fallen. Nevertheless, I still had unfinished tasks to complete. As I hurried to work, my phone incessantly rang. Despite the distractions, I made a conscious decision not to answer it. My goal was to finish my work promptly so I could leave early and head home.*Bang* While engrossed in reading the paperwork, the deafening sound of hammering on my door caught me off guard. Startled, I turned my gaze towards the source of the commotion. Just as I glanced towards the door, it swung open abruptly.The scoundrel had the audacity to walk in without so much as asking for permission. My scowl deepened because he was bothering me! I already wanted to g
Steven’s Point of View Upon hearing Celine's line, the previous peace that had settled over my heart was abruptly jolted once again. "Pregnant? Summer is... pregnant?" I asked in disbelief. She gave a silent nod, but the depths of her gaze couldn't quite hide her inner turmoil. I could sense that she didn't want to talk about it, so I hastily looked away and left her in peace.Nonetheless, before I vanished from her sight, she spoke again. "Uh... Mister Carter, please don't worry. Summer and the... baby... are not harm. The doctor simply has to tell you something that you need to know right away."She looked at me now with a reassuring smile, and I could see she was confident. The weight and thorns that had penetrated my hearts had now slowly been removed. "I am grateful to you, for staying with Summer since the beginning, Celine. I owe you a lot." "No thanks are necessary. Summer is near and dear to me, just like a sister. If a brother or sister was in peril, I assume you would
Steven’s Point of ViewStepping into her room, a sense of tranquility washed over me. There she lay, blissfully asleep on the bed, and upon closer inspection, it was quite clear that her stomach was beginning to swell. The fact that she was carrying a child would be immediately apparent to everyone who saw her.'How could I not notice it?'I was taking a step closer to her when I took a glance at the childlike expression on her face— such an innocent person. My hands were clenching as I pondered the possibility of another person testing her out and wanting her to die.After pulling the chair up close to her bed, I sat down. I grabbed one of her palms in my hand and kissed it, but it did not stop the rage from bubbling up inside of me and ridiculing my chest. I could not maintain my silence so long as she would be continued to be victimized in many possibilities. It was my worst fear that the next time anything like this takes place, not only would my children's life be taken, but als
Steven’s Point of View"Good news?"I took her hand and gave it a little squeeze as her expression was clearly one of confusion. "The baby…""The baby…?" She heaved a sigh, and after a little pause, tears began to fill up in the corner of her eyes as she asked, "What happened to my baby? Did anything bad happen to it?” She started acting hysterical."No, wife. Don’t think like that.”“Then, what?”“It turns out that it is not only a baby but a twin.”As soon as I let go of those words, the inexplicable mix of emotions were evident in her eyes. There were hints of joy in her, along with astonishment and a little bit of terror, all of which I believed were a result of the accident that she suffered earlier yesterday.“H-how—”We were interrupted when the door suddenly opened. Then, the doctor rushed in with her examination tools.As the doctor assessed both of us, I clung tightly to Summer's hand. Despite the test results yesterday indicating that everything was fine, my mind couldn't s
Summer’s Point of View"What?!"I winced at Harvey's deafening shriek as Steven presented him with the twins. However, an unreadable expression remained etched on Steven's face, like he was barely stopping himself from lashing out against Harvey. I knew that asking him to tend to the twins had been a mistake; Harvey had already been enmeshed in something else before we asked him.Well, Steven and I would go on a date. And they were the only people we could trust when it comes to our kids."Dada… dada…"I was about to join in their conversation when Zack suddenly hugged Harvey on the leg, and Steven quickly gave Betsy to Celine."How can you both go on a dates if you don't know how to take care children? It is only one day, not a whole year, so don't be exaggerated," Steven said and quickly pulled me away so I could no longer hear Harvey's scream and shout.Harvey, on the other hand, wanted to chase us, but Zack was holding his legs together so he couldn't do it.“You! If you can't tak
Summer's Point of ViewWe journey through life with no guarantee of the destination. Some lack a plan or direction, while others have already met their goals. We may become lost and disorientated at times, but we must always strive to move forward. There will be hardships and tough roads along the way, yet when we persevere and find our way out, all of our strength will be validated.My arms embraced Steven tightly as we gazed out at the horizon. It was hard to believe that I had finally reached this destination — no more roads ahead, just a place where I could truly belong. As I stood there, looking around with wonder in my eyes, I knew that this was it; I was exactly where I needed to be.I breath in the refreshing air and exhale a sigh. "Life is awe inspiring," I proclaim to the sky above us. "Sometimes it will take you off course, and when you feel lost, someone will come along to help guide you back."He hugged back to me and kissed my forehead. "Just like me."His words stirred
