Chapter 48I pretended to be asleep until Sean left again for work. He won't let me work in this condition as well. As soon as he left, I quickly went out of our room even though I was feeble. “Hey, I thought you don't feel well? You should take a rest,” Cristal said when she found me on my way to Sean's office in his house. I saw she paused when she saw my teary eyes. I heard it out loud. Sean said ‘I love you’ to Celeste, which slaps me with the truth again and again. In two fucking years that I thought we were happy, I was completely wrong. I was only fooling myself in two damn years that Sean is madly in love with me. “Ms. Dahlia!” Cristal exclaimed when I ignored her and quickly barged inside the office of Sean. My eyes landed on his desk and I didn't waste time opening his drawers. My lips parted and it seemed like I was lost for words. Tears began to drip down on my face as I saw all the pictures of him and Celeste there. My hands were shivering and I dropped all of it on t
Chapter 49I am two weeks pregnant. That is glued in my head. I was outside of Dr. Knox’ clinic while my mind was somewhere else. I was having a hard time absorbing everything I heard from the doctor. I feel like I was flying with my feeble body. I could not move, even my eyes were pinned on the plain wall in front of me. This day is indeed not for me. First, Sean slapped me with the truth. In two fucking years, his love for Celeste didn't waver and I didn't get any piece of it. Now, the doctor just told me that I am pregnant. Perhaps, it's better to hear from him that I've been dizzy these past few days because I have an illness. The worst is, I am pregnant. What am I supposed to do right now? I can't go back to Sean. I don't want to go back. I'm so scared of what's waiting for me and this baby in the future. Would I be able to raise this baby? I fuck off. “Dahlia,” I heaved a silent sigh and pulled myself back to my senses when Dr. Knox came to his office. I asked him to double
Chapter 50“Ready?” Charlotte asked when all our things were already in the car. Today is the day we leave the Philippines and go to another country. Ford and Charlotte settled everything in one day, including my passport and everything that we will need. Now, we are going to fly to Australia. “I think so,” I uttered as I drew a short smile. I glanced at my belly. I could see a glimpse of my pregnancy already. “Living in Australia would be great, Dahlia. You will be able to start a new life, away from all of this.” She smiled at me softly as she caressed my belly gently. “You will have a good life, mark your Aunt's words, baby.” I quickly chuckled when she talked with the baby that I am still carrying in my womb. “Come on, guys. We don't wanna be late to our flight,” Ford uttered as he checked the time on his wrist watch. “Hold on,” Charlotte uttered when we were about to go inside the car. My brows crossed when I saw her looking somewhere else with her brows met as well. “I kn
Chapter 516 years later…“He really loves beef broccoli, huh?” Charlotte uttered while watching my son eat in the dining room. “Reminds me of someone,” Ford commented as they both chuckled. “Who?” My naive son asked. “Don't listen to them. Go and finish your food,” I quickly said and flashed a soft smile at him. “Stop playing with me,” I glared at the two of them. “Why are you even here? Aren't you busy?” Because I am damn busy. I couldn't even stay in one place in our house. I have to prepare everything before we all leave the house. Emmanuel will go to school, Knox is going to the hospital, while me, I'm going to my coffee shops and check everything. “We’re going to invite you to the opening of our restaurant,” Ford uttered. My attention was captured when Knox’ phone suddenly rang. I quickly grabbed it and took the call. “Hello?” “Ms. Dahlia? This is Nurse Amanda, where's Dr. Knox? He has a patient scheduled at 9 am,” I quickly search for the wall clock in the house and it
Chapter 52“Where are we going, Mommy?” Emmanuel asked while we were all done packing our things. Our luggages are already in our living area. Knox and I packed everything last night because our flight is in the afternoon today. “We're going back to the Philippines. It's where we lived before,” I replied and gave him a tiny smile while he was still playing on the sofa. “Are you sure you're going back?” Charlotte asked while keeping her eyes at me, trying to read what's running in my head. I heaved a sigh. “It would be obscene if we don't go back for Knox’ father. They are just so excited to meet us personally. Besides, I'm lucky that they don't mind if…” I paused for a moment as I glanced at Emmanuel. He was too innocent from all of this. He must not know the truth about his father. Everything's fine now. I don't want to ruin it anymore. “If Knox is not Emman’s father,” I added in my lowest voice, refraining Emman from hearing about it. “You might see him again,” she mentioned. I
Chapter 53I don't know why I stayed there the moment I saw him. My eyes were glued to him while I was watching him a bit far from me. His eyes were pinned to the floor where I used to leave. When I checked where he was directly looking at, I realized that he was actually glancing at my exact apartment. I shivered. I didn't know if it was just my jet lag, or I became feeble the moment I saw him again after 6 years. I could not even move inside the car. I was too stunned to leave in secrecy. Everything waved in my head. The good and bad memories we both had. The wound is still here. It didn't fade a little up until now. Anger. That is all I could feel. My head was filled with tons of questions. Why is he here? What is he doing in the place where I lived before? I was watching him keenly and he was just really standing there. His hands were hiding inside his pants while those eyes were filled with guilt, regret and yearning. A minute later, it seemed like his phone rang as he placed
Chapter 54“Mommy!” I feel like I froze even more when Emman came back again. He quickly held my hand as he went beside me. I tried my best to stay firm in front of Sean while his son is also in front of him. “Emman!” Charlotte exclaimed. I even heard her panting. It seems like my son became stubborn again and was able to escape from her. I felt like I was holding my breath. I couldn't breathe properly while I'm trying not to break. I felt how Knox held my hand tightly. If he is not here right now, I would totally be feeble. Good thing he's here to catch me again before I could even fall. “Come on, Emman. Let's go there,” Charlotte uttered to my son. I saw how Sean's eyes landed on Emman. His eyes became soft as if he was captivated by how adorable my son is. I held Knox' hand tighter while my heart was racing aloud. “No, Aunt! I want my Mom and Dad!” He exclaimed and pouted cutely. Beyond being weak that my knees would probably fold anytime, I still lowered down for Emman and cup
Chapter 55“Good morning,” Charlotte greeted as she found me in the dining room, staring at my coffee. I've been here for a few minutes and I haven't touched the coffee yet. “Morning,” I replied. I was still not back to myself. I feel like half of me was still asleep.“Did you two talk about it?” Her brows arched at me. I crossed my brows for a moment as my head was still not in the mood to process things this early. My lips parted when I realized what she was pertaining to.“Oh, Sean?” I nodded as I finally took a sip in my coffee. “We did, last night. He was anxious,” I mentioned and heaved a sigh. I hope I was able to clear his fear last night. “You can't blame him. Knox loves you so much that he even left his career here and took the risk to be with you in Australia. He's probably scared that you'll leave him and choose Sean,” a tiny smile flashed on my lips. I was lost for words. I understand what she's saying. It's the same perception as mine. “Hold on, don't tell me you sti
