Chapter 63“Knox,” I froze and was glued in that position. It seems like everything stopped the moment I saw Knox standing there while my hands were stuck trying to wipe Sean's sweat. That moment, I almost stopped breathing. I felt like someone poured the coldest water on me. “Did I disturb the two of you?” He chuckled bitterly before his eyes landed on my hands near Sean's forehead. “Dude, it's no—” “SEAN!” My eyes widened when Knox didn't let him talk and made him taste his punch. “Knox, stop!” I quickly said and tried to pull Knox away from Sean who landed straight on the ground. “Tell me, you want her back, don't you? You fucking treated her like a trash and now you want to steal her?!” “Knox, no! Please!” I was so close to crying when I was still trying to stop him from pouring punches at Sean. He didn't fight Knox no matter how many punches he threw at him. “KNOX! WHAT THE HELL?” “Get him away, please!” I almost begged Nathan when he arrived with Ford. They both quickly
Chapter 64I came back at Knox’ house to get all our things. I was shivering and at the same time shattering in pieces while getting our things. I kept shedding tears from my face while I was in a hurry. Knox isn't here yet, and I don't think I could ever see him right now after what just happened to the party. My heart was so heavy that I couldn't stop from crying. “Mom, are we leaving Dad?” Emman's little voice made me pause. I glanced at him and I saw how sad he was. In one snap, I couldn't help but cry. He quickly went towards me and embraced me with his tiny arms. That's it. I already burst into tears when I felt my son's hug. “Don't cry, Mommy.” He said while caressing the back of my head. He even shed my tears with his own hands. “I won't leave you even if they all leave,” he swore, standing for me like a real man. I cried aloud as I hugged him tighter. I looked like a kid more than him. In a few minutes, it seems like I became Emman's daughter and he became my parent. “Th
Chapter 65Third Person's POV“You're the one who broke up with Dahlia and yet you look miserable right now,” Charlotte uttered in front of Knox who was glued to his bed. The bottles and cans of alcohol are all on the floor. Without Dahlia in their room, it looks like total rubbish. A day has passed since they both broke up. Here's Knox, has no plan to get out of the bed but plans to isolate and kill himself in the room. “Can you at least take a shower? You stink, jerk!” She exclaimed as she madly picked up all the trash in the room. Knox just sighed and now brought himself in the bathroom to take a bath. Right after taking a shower, he finally went out of his room to eat after starving himself the entire day yesterday. “Sir Knox, we prepared food for you.” The maid uttered, seeming surprised when he saw him. “Thanks,” he uttered without any energy in his system. “You didn't mean it, didn't you?” Ford asked when he found Knox in the dining area. He was still sipping on his coffe
Chapter 66“N-No…No, No! Dad! Wake up!” I paused in front of the morgue while Knox and his family were in front of me, mourning and grieving. “Don’t do this, Dad! Wake up, please!” My heart bleeds to see Knox crying like that. He looks miserable and I knew that his world shattered. Nathan was looking nowhere, trying to hold back those tears that he couldn't refrain from falling. Mom was crying silently beside Dad who officially left us all right now. “Is grandpa sleeping?” My eyes landed on my son who was filled with extreme innocence. I didn't know how I would tell him that his grandfather is now dead. “E-Emman,” I called, while I couldn't help but burst into tears as well. “Why are you crying, Mom?” He asked with his tiny voice. “Why are they crying, too?” He asked again as he glanced at them inside the morgue. I felt feeble at that moment. I was too weak to speak and tell him what was happening. Every memory of Knox’ father was flashing back in my head. We weren't able to sp
Chapter 67“Knox told me that it's time to tell Emman and Sean the truth,” I uttered while Charloy and I were in the veranda of the house. It's early in the morning and we were already having our coffee while watching the sunrise right in front of us from the sky. I love the sunrise more than the sunset. It's because sunrise reminds me there will be a new day for everything and it is not the end yet. In 6 years that I was away, I used to watch the sunrise and remind myself each day that everything will be a fresh and peaceful morning away from all the problems. “Really? Why don't you tell Sean the truth then? I also think that you should tell him this time, and Emman.” She agreed as I felt how she glanced at me for a second. There's a part inside me that stops me from revealing the truth. I am not mad at Sean anymore and I know that I already healed from that. Everything is going to its place. My ruined life is now being fixed slowly. “I don't know why I feel like I can't tell him
Chapter 68“I think I want to do something,” I uttered while we were in the middle of our meal together. They all glanced at me with their brows crossed, filled with questions in their eyes. Claire was helping Emman with his food, standing up as his real older sister. “What is it?” Knox asked. I paused while looking at all of them, wearing a tiny smile playing on my lips. “I’m thinking of having another branch of my coffee shop here,” I arched my brows to them along with my shining eyes filled with excitement. I could already foresee it here. I know that I was against it before for the reason that I do not want to come back here because of my past relationship with Sean. But now that everything is going well, I think I can consider having another branch here. “What? Really?!” Charlotte exclaimed. Her eyes almost bawled out in joy and excitement. Well, she was always the one who has been trying to convince me about it. “Aren’t you going back to Australia?” Aunt Melva asked. “We w
Chapter 69“It's about Sean,” That moment, I was ready to hear what she was about to say. My heart was pounding and I suddenly felt nervous to the point that it felt like I stopped breathing. Why do I not feel good about this? She was looking at me heavily and I could see how huge the problem was right through her eyes at me. They were full of hesitation, fear and sorrows. A fear from a mother who's worried about her son. “What is it?” I quickly asked. There was hesitation in her eyes as if something was stopping her from telling it to me. I can see it. I could see how it weighed her and how troubled she was. “My son, he's s—”“Mom,” she paused as soon as we heard that voice. My eyes shifted at him who was on his way towards us. He was taking his big steps, clenching his jaw and crumpling his bare hands. His exquisite eyes were full of firmness and a wall that he built for 6 years that I was away. “Sean?” Charlotte called as they came back to our table as well. I gulped and felt
Chapter 70In the next few days, the construction of my cafe's new branch began. Sean settled the papers for me and we settled the land’s payment as well. Since the construction started, I became so busy as well, taking care of everything for my business. “We only have two months left here. Have you forgotten that we are citizens in Australia?” Charlotte uttered while I was busy with all the paperwork on the table. “I know that. But the construction will take 3 months,” I heaved a heavy sigh, filled with frustration. I haven't had a lot of sleep ever since the construction started. I mean, I wanted this, right? I should bear with it. “That's fine. You can go back to Australia for a month then go back here again. Nathan can surely check the café, or maybe Mom.” Knox said and stole my coffee and changed it with hot chocolate. “Caffeine isn't good for the body,” he mumbled. I didn't complain anymore. How can I? He's a doctor. Besides, Knox has always been like this to us. He's alway
