Timothy's POV "This is where Philip and I used to play when we were kids." Timothy started narrating as we went to the backyard of his grandparents mansion. In the backyard was a small pond and a playground with a swing and monkey bars. There was also an apple tree and a bench under it. Are you close with each other?" "Well, yeah. We were so close especially when we were kids. But we fight a lot. We always fight over petty things. Philip always want things to go his way and so I always scold him as the older brother." "I see. You really are a brother material. I think you would be a great father someday, too." That made Timothy quiet. I just saw his ears turning red and that's when I realized what I just said. "T-Thanks." he just answered. Actually, I don't even know how I can still manage to be this casual towards Timothy after what happened between me and him. I got mad at him, but I don't think I can stay like that for a long time. Especially because he is a good man. "You
"What is it that you want us to do, grandma?" Timothy asked their grandmother. A smile appeared on her face as she looked at both of us. One can't really tell what's going on inside her mind. "Well, I just want you to dance in front of us all. We all know how good you are at waltz. For sure you already taught your wife that, right?" "I haven't taught her yet." said Timothy. His grandmother then shifted her gaze at me with raised eyebrows. "So, you don't know how to do waltz?" "I-I don't." "That's too sad. I would love to see my grandson dance again. You'll see how good he is when it comes to waltz. He is really really good at it. Let's just find him a partner." They looked around, trying to find someone Timothy could dance with. "I-I can learn it. You can just teach me, Timothy. Can you?" I asked while looking at Timothy who immediately nodded his head with that smile on his face. "Sure." Grandma nodded her head. "Alright then, you should practice inside. When you're fi
"Are you ready now?" Timothy whispered to me when we were already standing in the middle of the dance hall with all their relatives around us, waiting for us to do their most awaited waltz."I might mess this up." He smiled at me. "It's alright. I won't mind it."I took a deep breathe as we stood and faced each other. As the music started, we started moving. Timothy was taking the lead. My heart was beating so fast and I often step on Timothy's foot, but he didn't mind it."Just look right into my eyes." he suddenly whispered."O-Okay."I raised my head up and looked straight into his eyes. He gave me a smile and that made my heart beat became even faster. We continued dancing and as we proceed, I didn't notice the people around us anymore. All I could see was Timothy and his mesmerizing ocean blue eyes. "Timothy.""Hmm?"I didn't take my eyes off him as I uttered the next words. "I think I'm in love with you. No, I'm really in love with you.""A-Aurora....""I know, I know it's so
Timothy's POV "You finally arrived." grandpa said to me as soon as I sat on the bench beside him. We were at the backyard of the mansion and it was already nine in the evening. "Of course, I will. There is no way I would miss this drinking session with you." Grandpa laughed. "I actually miss doing this with you. You know, we never got to have a drinking session when you graduated at the university." "That's because I became busy managing the company and I had to move to New York." "Here. Drink this." he said as he poured a botlle of whiskey into a glass and handed it to me. "Thanks." I said as I took the glass from him and drank the whiskey. Grandpa was smiling while watching me drink. "You really are a grown up now. Your father must have put a lot of burden on you. Our company was about to go bankrupt because of him back then, but then you took over and did everything to make it as it was before. Even more successful." This time, I was the one who poured some whiskey into hi
Aurora's POVI woke up seeing Timothy sleeping on the couch. He told me he would just have a drink with his grandpa last night. I wasn't able to wait for him to come back since I was also tired and it was so late in the evening already. I bet he is so close with his grandpa. Aside from they look really alike, I think they are much closer to each other than Timothy and his father. I fixed the blanket that was covering his body before I went inside the bathroom to brush my teeth. We will be leaving this mansion later and that actually makes me sad.Not only because his grandparents are nice, but also because after this, I know I wouldn't be able to see Timothy more often again."Good morning there, my dear Aurora.*I got surprised when I saw Timothy's grandma as soon as I stepped out of our room. "G-Good morning, grandma.""Wanna have breakfast with me? Is Timothy still asleep?"I nodded my head. "S-Sure. Timothy is still asleep. Should I wake him up?""Oh, no. Don't wake him up. I he
Timothy's POV I didn't see Aurora on the bed when I woke up. I got off the couch and took a bath before finally deciding to go outside only for me to see mom, grandma, and Aurora busy having coffee with each other. "Oh, there's Tim!" said mommy. Grandma and Aurora shifted their gazes at me. "Hello there, Timothy. You're finally awake." "Good morning." Aurora greeted me with a smile. "G-Good morning." I sat down next to Aurora. "I'm sorry, grandpa and I got drunk last night." "We know that already. After all, that's what the two of you used to do back when you were still studying at the university." said mom. "Right. Timothy is none other than his grandpa's favorite child." grandma added. "It's because I look exactly like him when he was young." They all started laughing including Aurora. She got surprised when he caught me staring at her as she laughed. I don't even know why, but whenever I see Aurora laugh or smile, I can't help but smile. "Timothy. You have to take care
Aurora's POVI was just staring at the diamond ring that Timothy's grandma gave to me while I was having a coffee in the company's pantry. Until now, I still can't believe she gave this to me. I am happy and grateful, but at the same time I feel guilty. I feel guilty because Timothy and I are just pretending to be a couple, so I don't think I deserve to have it.I took another sip of coffee when I received a call from Liam. "Hello?""Hey, Aurie! Wanna have dinner with me? Let's walk near the amusement park. I kind of want to eat some skewers.""You have so much time, do you?" I heard him laugh over the phone as he answered. "That's right. I have my free time later today, so I want to spend it with you. I'll be busy again tomorrow. So, if I were you, I would take advantage of it.""You're so full of yourself, Liam Hamilton.""I know. So, let's just meet there? Bye, Aurie! Make sure not to bring a jacket!""What? Why---Before I could even continue what I was about to say, Liam alrea
Timothy's POV When she finally calmed down, I guided Dennise to her room and tucked her in before I decided to leave and go home. I stared at the ceiling of my room as I thought about what Dennise just told me a while ago. I know she was drunk, but I also know that she knows what she was saying a while ago.She just told me she loves me and I'm supposed to be happy, but I feel the opposite instead. I thought I was still in love with her but when she said that, I realized it's not her I have feelings for. When grandpa told me about grandma and how he loved her, Aurora was all that I could think about.I should have known it before I should have trusted my feelings and intuition. She is the only woman who could make me smile without doing anything and the only woman who can make me the happiest man just by doing a simple gesture.I reached for my phone, dialed Aurora's number and tried to call her, but she wasn't answering. In the end, I just decided to text her and told her to meet
"Mommy, you look so beautiful!" Thera said to me as I was standing in front of her, wearing my wedding dress."Really? Mommy looks beautiful? Am I as beautiful as you?"She nodded her head and smiled. "Yes, mommy. I think you're more beautiful than me.""Of course, not. You are the most beautiful. You're even way beautiful than mommy," I said as I pinched both of her cheeks."Well, you're both beautiful. Stop acting like you don't look exactly like each other. Also Aurora, you need to prepare yourself now because we're heading to the church and you'll finally meet your soon-to-be husband," my mom said to me which made all of us laugh.Today is the day I will be marrying the love of my life. Who would have thought that I will actually end up marrying the brother of my ex-boyfriend? The huge door of the church went open and I stepped inside. As I raised my head, I saw so many people standing on each side while looking at me with huge smile on their faces. I saw Dennise standing there
It's been a week now since I introduced Timothy as Thera's father. They've been so happy together and Timothy keeps on going to our house to see Thera. His parents also knew about it and they were so happy when they saw Thera, too. All of my fears suddenly vanished when I hugged Timothy's parents. I have realized that maybe I was just overthinking when I thought they would take my daughter away from me if I told them about her. "Mommy! Daddy is here!" Thera told me while I was washing the dishes one morning. "Really? Okay, you can play together then."Suddenly, Timothy showed up. He was wearing a black turtle neck and pants and he looked handsome as ever. "Aurora, can we go to the amusement park together? I mean, the three of us?""H-Huh? B-But I still haven't taken a bath.""It's alright. We can wait for you. Right, Thera?""Yes! We can play outside while waiting for you, mommy!"I smiled. "Really? Then alright. I'll just finish washing the dishes then I'll take a bath." ***"Mom
Aurora's POV"T-Timothy?" both mom and dad were surprised upon seeing Timothy with me. Timothy looked at each other then I nodded my head at him. "It's been a long time, Auntie and Uncle.""What is happening here, Aurora?" Dad asked me. "Dad, I already told Timothy about the truth. He already knows it," I said. "Y-You already know?" Mom asked Timothy.Timothy nodded his head with a smile on his face. "I already knew it since the first time I saw Thera. I was just waiting for Aurora to admit it."I thought mom and dad would be mad at me, but then huge smile appeared on their faces the moment they heard what Timothy just said. "That's good to hear then. You don't know how long Thera had been waiting for this day to come. Wait, does that also mean the two of you are back together again?" mom suddenly asked. Timothy looked at me, so I immediately spoke. "N-No.""Oh, I see. Wait, should I call Thera now? Are we going to tell her now?" "Can I go there and introduce myself to her?" Tim
Timothy's POVI am definitely sure that child is my child. I know Aurora and I know she was lying when she told me she had a relationship with somebody else. I kept waiting outside the school of Aurora's daughter until I finally saw her. I was about to go near her, but then Aurora suddenly appeared and held the child's hand. She really made sure I wouldn't be able to get close to our daughter. "Good afternoon!" I said to both of them with a huge smile on my face. Aurora's eyes widened upon seeing me. I smirked at her then I knelt down in front of the child. "Hello there, Thera, right? My name is Timothy, but you can call me Uncle Timothy if you want to.""Hello, Uncle Timothy! It's nice to meet you! What are you doing here?" she asked me.God, she looks exactly like Aurora. She is so beautiful, just like her mom. "Well, I'm here to--"Let's go now, Thera," Aurora suddenly said as she started walking away together with Thera but then I followed them again. "W-Wait, I'm just wonde
I was about to drive away together with Thera, but then Timothy suddenly blocked our way. I tried to escape, but he was too stubborn and didn't really leave. I rolled down the window of the car and yelled. "Can you just please leave?! Get out of my way!""I won't leave unless you talk to me, Aurora!""There is nothing we need to talk about!""There is! Especially about that kid!"I tried making him leave again, but still, he didn't listen to me."Mommy, why don't you talk to him? Are you mad at him?" Thera asked me confusingly. "Honey, I can't talk to him. I-I don't even know him," I lied."But he won't leave, mommy. I think you need to talk to him."In the end, I had no choice but to give up. I looked at Thera who was sitting beside me. "Honey, just wait for mommy here. I'm just going to talk to that man for a while, okay?" "Okay, mommy. I will wait for you here.""Thank you, sweetheart."I took a deep breathe before finally getting off the car. "Now, what do you want to talk abo
'Aurora's POV I let out a deep sigh as soon as I stopped the car in front of our house. I still haven't gotten inside and was just staring into a blank space inside my car. I just saw Timothy a while ago. He looked a bit different, but more handsome than ever. When I met his eyes, my heart started beating so fast. I didn't even know how I would react, that is why I just decided to leave him there alone. How can he still have the same impact to me after all this time? The way he looked at me and the way he made me feel nervous is still the same. I thought he already found someone new, but based on how he acted a while ago, I don't think he already did. Does that mean he really waited for me to come back? "Mommy!" Thera welcomed we with a warm hug as soon as I stepped inside our house. "Hello there, sweetheart... Why aren't you asleep yet?" I asked while patting her head."I was waiting for you, mommy..." I touched her on the cheek then lifted her up in my arms. "Oh, my sweet b
Timothy's POVI can't be mistaken. That was really Aurora. I really saw Aurora at that mall!Too bad I wasn't able to follow her because of the crowd. I just saw her step inside a car and drove off together with the kid. B-But who is that kid? I-Is she her child? But with whom? Is she married already? Who did she end up? So, she has forgotten about me already?Ugh! I can't stop thinking about her! I have to find her as soon as possible! I was massaging my temples when my phone started ringing. It was a call from Dennise."You're thinking about Aurora again?" Dennise said as soon as I answered her call. "I just can't help it. I need to confirm if that was really her.""Then why don't you confirm it yourself? I invited her for dinner tonight. Why don't you come, too?"My eyes widened in surprise. "Y-You invited her?""Uh-huh. But I just did that to confirm if she's really back. If she answers me, then that means she's back. Oh, she just texted me. She said she would come.""A-Are y
Aurora's POV"Thera, where have you been, huh? I have been looking for you,' I said to my daughter when we were finally inside the car off somewhere"I'm sorry, mommy. I just wanted to see the huge teddy bear..." she said while playing with her fingers.I patted her head. "It's alright. Just promise me that you won't do that again.""Yes, mommy. I promise."I pinched both of her cheeks and kissed her on the forehead. "That's my girl. I also want to applogize for letting you be alone by yourself. Will you forgive mommy?""Of course, mommy. I will always forgive you.""Thank you, my sweetheart...""Mommy.""Huh?""I bumped into a handsome man a while ago before you found me," she started narrating. "A handsome man? Really?"She nodded her head as if she actually found the man she was saying handsome. "Really, mommy! He is so handsome like a prince!""Oh, he must be so handsome then. Did he help you?""Yes, he helped me stand and asked me if I am okay."I nodded my head. "Then he's a go
Timothy's POV"Congratulations, Timothy! Our company is now the highest earning in the country! That is all thanks to you and your dedication!" dad said to me while we were having dinner in their mansion. "You are right, honey. Timothy really did a great job during the past five years!" mom added.I shook my head while smiling. "You know that wouldn't happen if not also because of our employees and investors. I'm not the only one who is to be thrown those compliments of yours.""Well, you are at the top. I never really regret assigning you as the CEO of our company.""Thanks, dad.""I wonder when you will be getting married, though. You know, you are not getting any younger. You have to have someone who will take care of you. Also, we already want grandchildren from you," said mommy. I laughed. "That would be most unlikely to happen. I am not planning to have any relationship with anyone. I just want to focus with the company.""What do you still want to focus in the company when yo
