CHAPTER 48: REQUEST SHANBRI POV "So, how was your birthday, kids? Are you happy to see me again? How about my gift, did you like it?” Kenj calmly asked the children as if nothing had happened between us earlier outside the restaurant. We are now at the rest house where we are staying. Kenj and I agreed to come here after we had a thorough talk and also because of the children's request. I know they missed their father a lot even though they didn't look for him in me during the time we moved away from Kenj's company and started a new life here in a remote and far province. I thought Kenj could not trace us here but I was wrong. I forgot that he is a powerful person so whatever he wants, he can surely achieve. I just sighed at my thought. "Yes, daddy! I really like the clover bracelet. It looks so elegant and also, we are so happy to see you again. Look, I already wore the bracelet," Bri responded energetically and happily showed her father the bracelet she was wearing. "How a
CHAPTER 49: SMALL WORLD SHANBRI POV It's our lunch break here at the Cafe where I work. Jason and I, my colleague here at work, will be the first to eat lunch and after us, Gelo will be the next to eat lunch. We can't all take a lunch break at the same time because there will be no one left to take care of the customers. That is why we take turns and if possible should finish our meal quickly. But I couldn't eat properly because I was often left preoccupied because of my problem. To this day I still don't know how Yaj and his father will get along because Yaj seems serious when he said that he might not be able to forgive his father if he doesn't divorce his wife to come back to me. Adding to my problem is the upcoming school fair for the children because both their parents have to attend. But I know that I might be the only one who can go because Kenj doesn't stay here and I'm sure he is always busy with his work in the city. "Hello? Do you hear what I'm saying, Shan? Are yo
CHAPTER 50: UNEXPECTED MEETING SHANBRI POV "What are you waiting for, Shanbri? Are you just going to stand there dumbfounded and not move from your position?” I was brought back to reality when I heard the familiar cold and deep voice again from the person I was trying to avoid and trying to get out of my system. He was now staring at me seriously and I could not figure out what was going through his mind at this moment because his gray eyes were not showing any emotion that other people could read. Just now I gazed into his gray eyes again and to this day I am still amazed at how beautiful they are and how they can absorb my whole soul as if I were drowning from his gaze. "Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I was just thinking about something," I simply made an excuse and immediately sat down where my two work colleagues were. I started eating the mcdo meal that Kenj had brought while casually glancing at him while he wasn't looking at me. I saw that he looked meaningfully at my boss while
CHAPTER 51: SCHOOL FAIRSHANBRI POV I couldn't hide my smiles as I watched Kenj now. He came to our house early and I told him that he had to wear our family uniform that I paid for from the children's school. It's a plain t-shirt and the color is baby pink which is why it can take off the masculinity of a cool man like Kenj. I tried very hard to force him to wear it because the children's teacher will be angry if we don't wear our uniform for the children's school fair today. "Why are you laughing at me? I told you that I don't want to wear this piece of cloth but you keep on forcing me. It is very gay just to be honest," he complained when he noticed the frequent glances I gave to him while smiling foolishly. "I'm laughing because you look cute in what you are wearing today. You look like a good boy and I didn't think that the color pink would suit you," I laughed and answered him and he just glared at me while his lips were pouting. "Do we really need to wear a family uniform?
CHAPTER 52: REWARD SHANBRI POV As soon as we got out of Kenj's fancy car, we were immediately stared at by people at school. Actually, almost all of them looked at Kenj because of his stunning look. It can't be denied that the twins' daddy is handsome and he really grabs attention even by simply standing or walking. Kenj's sex appeal was really strong before, especially among women, even though he didn't put much effort into his looks. It seems that being handsome is really natural to him and he seems to be used to the attention he gets from people. "Hey, I know that I am handsome but can you stop zoning out? I was literally talking here like damn stupid because you are not listening to me.” I immediately returned to reality when I heard Kenj's complaint. I didn't realize that I was stunned in front of them while secretly admiring his beauty in my mind. “Oh, sorry, Kenj. What are you saying?” I simply asked and apologized for being absent minded. "Oh, mommy? Dad is asking whe
CHAPTER 53: SHUT UP SHANBRI POV A week has passed since the children's school fair. Kenj often visits his children even though he is busy with work. I don't know how he is able to combine his work in the city and coming here to a distant province to see and be with his children. But I can assure that he is also struggling with this set-up but even though it is tiring, he doesn't show it because he still manages to be naughty so I am always annoyed because of him. "Hi, good morning! How are you doing?” That's it and suddenly Kenj appeared in front of us. He was standing in front of our door and his smile was ear to ear. You'd think that he doesn't have any work to attend to that's why he's still able to do what he wants. "What are you doing here again, dad?" Yaj asked sternly and immediately lost his mood when he saw his father again. Until now, the two have not reconciled, but I can see how Kenj is making an effort to win back his son's heart. "I'm here to drive you to your
CHAPTER 54: SECRETLY HURT SHANBRI POV "Whatever you are planning, don't go ahead with it. I have to go down because I might be late for my job and if I lose my job, it's your fault, Kenj," I answered rudely and immediately avoided his eyes because I might not be able to handle it and I suddenly gave up. I just left him inside his car and immediately entered the Cafe. It's only a few minutes left and I'm already late for my work and I don't want that to be the reason for my salary deduction. "Hi, good morning, Shan!" “Morning, Shan!” I also greeted and returned a smile to my work colleagues Gelo and Jason. Both of them are in their respective stations and I'm the only one waiting. I immediately went to the staff room and changed my uniform and then started my work. "Hey, where's Tyrone? Is he already here?” I heard Kenj ask Gelo. He is always like that every time he comes to the Cafe. He looks like he owns it because he even surpasses the boss in his speech. “Good morning, sir
CHAPTER 55: HOLD ON SHANBRI POV I felt bad going into the staff room. I feel as if my heart is breaking because of the overwhelming grief that the truth has caused me. "Accept it, Shanbri. You are done and will never be able to return to what was before." I just tried to convince myself to reduce the pain I feel now. I didn't realize that there were tears already falling from my eyes so I quickly wiped them away with my finger. "Are you okay, Shanbri? Why did you leave?” I was surprised by Kenj's sudden arrival in the staff room. I frowned at him because I didn't know why he followed me here, especially since he knew that his wife was also here. He might see us again and start another trouble. “What are you doing here, Kenj? Go back to your wife." I immediately pushed him away and secretly rolled my eyes at him. "She's gone. I mean, I asked Tyrone to escort her to the nearest hospital so that she can get checked by a doctor," it was a simple response that raised my eyebrows.
