During the middle of the meal, Ashley said that she had to leave due to emergency and excused herself. Once they were done eating, it was time to settle the bills.

They were about to split the bills, when May apologetically expressed, "I am so sorry about this, Evelyn. It seems I forgot to bring cash."

Evelyn didn't mind it. After all, they were friends, and this was just a meal. She didn't mind paying for it, and when May mentioned about paying her back, Evelyn shrugged it off, saying that there was no need for it.

Following this, both of them took separate paths to their respective home. Once Evelyn was in her current room, she went through her phone, and her hand paused when she noticed the picture of May and Ashley hanging 9ut in the mall.

She comforted herself by saying either it shouldn't be from today or there should be a reason behind it. She ignored the obvious signs like a fool.

After that, May started to tell her more about Ashley's feelings towards Landon and included her

    "Will you give me your number if I ask you for it?" Evelyn slowly and carefully asked while checking for Landon's expression. "Why?" he questioned. Evelyn was tongue-tied at it for a while. What was she supposed to say? Because Ashley likes him that she wants his number. Evelyn wanted his number for her own selfish wishes to. "Uhm, ah, so I can't have it without a valid reason?" She stumbled upon her words. "I prefer to not randomly give out my number," he expressed. Evelyn paused before nodding. It was understandable. She wouldn't be giving out her number to someone who asked for it randomly either. It sounded creepy. As she was about to thank him for his time and leave, he added, "but I suppose it would be convenient." Convenient? Was it because she stayed at his place? Or could it be because of something else? That got her cheeks heating up, and if it wasn't for the fact she stood before Landon, she would have slapped herself. She should stop with her delusions. "Thank yo

    Evelyn arrived at the amusement park early. Half an hour before the designated time. This was due to her excitement. She imagined the scenarios after looking up the park on the internet, and the giddiness made it hard for her to fall asleep. She already planned out the day in her mind. She continued to improvise in which order she would get on the rides. It was fine if they didn't go along with her order as well. As long as they got to spend the time together. However, an hour had passed, and there were no signs of them. Evelyn's hand trembled. A bad feeling rose in her chest, and she texted both May and Ashley, asking them when they will arrive. She added that she didn't mind waiting. Ashley didn't respond, but fifteen minutes later, May texted that she was coming. And when twenty minutes passed, she texted May again. May replied with how she was on the way. Then, upon contacting her another ten minutes later, she learned that May's mom got into accident. She couldn't come. As f

    During the lunch break on that day, May approached her with a smile and handed her a present along with a letter. She then voiced out, "Can you place these under the cherry tree?"There was only one apple tree inside the school premise. Evelyn wanted to refuse, but those eyes of May made it hard for her to defy. Getting intimidated way too easily, Evelyn accepted the present and letter.She then nodded.May flashed her a wide smile and patted on her shoulder."Thank you! I knew that you were the best!"Following that, Evelyn left the classroom with the present and letter. However, as she went down the stairs, she recalled about leaving her lunch money inside her bag. Therefore, she went back to retrieve it.The door to the classroom was open. However, before she stepped in, the voices made her halt, and she grabbed on to the door knob."May, you said that we will be only doing this for two weeks or something! Why are you still hanging out with that loser!?" Ashley groaned, frustrated.

Once Ashley went through that letter, she raised her head to look at Evelyn in disgust.After that, she took the present from Evelyn's hand and opened the box. There was muffins inside, and she threw the entire box on the ground in anger."Those were the muffins I baked," Ashley said, pointing towards the muffins. "You stole them and wanted to give them to Landon? How could you? Even after how I told you that I had feelings for him? How could you do this when I considered you my friend? It seems like you didn't feel the same way about me."The hateful and mocking stares from everyone around her made her tremble involuntarily. It made her feel suffocated and wish to run away from there.Her eyes fell on May, and they were filled with desperation. She hoped May would clarify the matters. Of course, she wasn't that foolish. At this point, she understood

    That day when she went home in her beaten up and exhausted state, Grandpa Parker was extremely worried. Before questioning her, he called for a doctor who checked up on her, and after providing her medication for external injuries, he left. After this, Evelyn asked, "Can I change schools?" The desperation in her voice caught Grandpa Parker off guard. He was aware of how Evelyn felt troubled at school. But because of Evelyn's reserved nature, he thought it would make her feel uncomfortable. He waited for her to open up. "Sure, you can, Dear. But what happened?" he gently asked. That made her break down into tears. All the pain she had been holding in exploded as she cried and broke down in front of Grandpa Parker. Her words were barely coherent, but still Grandpa Parker was able to get the story behind it. In the end, he felt equally angry and saddened that she had to suffer through this. He awkwardly pulled the child into a hug and patted on her back. Evelyn cried until her head

    Evelyn’s resentful eyes shifted towards the man beside her. His concentration stayed on the laptop screen in front of him.“Say what you have to instead of looking like that. Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to read your mind,” he pointed out.She scoffed.However, she soon changed her expression to a solemn one and brought up, “I want to visit Grandpa’s grave first.”This made Landon’s eyes fall on her— a mixture of complex emotions swirling in them— and he nodded his head.After that, she leaned her head against the window and watched the road they sped against. It didn’t take them long to arrive at the cemetery. Evelyn pulled open the door and stepped outside without waiting for Landon to get down.She then made her way over to Grandpa Parker’s grave.

    At the restaurant, Evelyn stirred the bowl of soup before her, not finding it within her to eat it. Landon, on the other hand, ate slowly, maintaining his manners.“Is it not to your taste?” he asked upon noticing the food hadn’t moved an inch.Pursing her lips into a thin line, she shook her head and answered, “Not in the mood. Is there anything you needed me for?”Landon wiped his face with the napkin prior to starting, “It’s about the inheritance.”“I don’t need them. I know I am not a part of the family. Grandpa was being kind. I am ready to sign any of the documents needed.”“Grandpa handed them down to you. He wouldn’t appreciate you giving them away,” he pointed out.Evelyn bit down on her lower lip at it.“Grandpa asked me to protect you by marrying you, aware the wealth could put you in danger. What do you think about it?”This made Evelyn take a minute to scrutinize the youth. Although she regularly stalked him on the internet, keeping up with all of his recent updates and s

    "That I can, but raising a family takes a lot of money. That's why, it is better to save money as much as possible," he voiced out.Evelyn's teeth dug into her lower lip, and she clenched her hand into a tight fist. Seeing the amusement twinkling in his eyes made her feel more aggravated.She wanted to bunch that face, but afraid of having from worse repercussions, she held back her action. Taking in how he acted these days, she was afraid of being told to do something ridiculous to make up to him.She raised her hand and pushed his chest away with her palms. He didn't resist and took a step behind. She took in a deep breath and pressed her forehead."Do whatever you want. Don't talk to me or else, believe it or not..." she trailed off, starting to think of a decent threat.Her eyes wandered around the place when she spotted the kitchen knife. She reached out to pull it out before pointing it towards Landon's throat."I will stab you. I really will. Even if I have to spend a lifetime

    Sitting on the chair, Evelyn dozed off. Her head wobbled due to lack of support, and when it was about to fall down, Landon entered the room.He noticed her position. He hurriedly stepped ahead and placed his palm forward, letting her head rest on it. His eyes then fell on her face, unable to move them away as he saw her sleep peacefully. However, then her eyebrows furrowed.Those dark eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes. Her vision was hazy at first, and only upon focusing did Landon's tense expression fell into her line of sight.She quickly reacted by moving away from him, removing her head from his palm. Although Landon felt a sense of loss, he didn't let it show on his face.He placed his hand down and cleared his throat."Are you hungry? You haven't eaten dinner," he pointed out.Now that all of her intense emotions settled down, she could feel the hunger gnawing inside her stomach. But she kept her expression indifferent."No, I am fine. Where will I be staying?" she vo

    Landon's words made her think.She couldn't deny that she felt happy and free during this period of three years. She thought she almost moved on, putting everything behind.If Landon gave her a couple more years, the past wouldn't even hurt her, and he will be erased from her heart entirely.But did that matter now when the truth came crushing down on her?All she felt was regret, hurt, and anger. Maybe she should have acted more stable back then. That would have probably given Landon the chance to tell her about everything."That would have been fine. According to you, in order to not let me be hurt then, you hid the matter from me and took away the option of having a choice from me. I could have endured that agony. At least that would allow me to stay by my child's side and support her through the pain. As her mother, that's my right and responsibility. Who are you to snatch that away from me? How would you feel if I did the same to you? Kept your child hidden from for years and m

    Landon took in a deep breath and started, "In the beginning, even I thought that she didn't make it. The doctor, he colluded with Stacey and let the entire family believe she died.At the same time, Stacey hid her away. I didn't notice in the beginning, but she left behind enough flaws for me to catch on to it. This made me panic, and I knew if I wanted to find our baby, I needed to hurry and do it in a way that didn't alert Stacey.That's why, I said those hurtful words to you in the hospital back then. I can never be sorry enough. I had to gain Stacey's trust, and that was the best way to do it under her watch.Your state was fragile then, and I was afraid of you alarming Stacey. It was wrong of me to withhold the information from you, but that was the best I could do.When I managed to find our baby, I planned to tell you all about it, but your mental state worsened.

    The next second she felt him grab her hand and drag her out of the room. She couldn't resist against the force applied by him."What are you doing!? Let go of me!"She was brought into another room. Before she could look around it, a door was opened. Then, she was pushed into her washroom, and a gasp left her mouth at his next action.He turned on the shower, letting the cold water fall on her head and drenching her. As it touched her skin, she shuddered at the temperature and glared at him.Has he completely lost it?What was he even doing?"Are you crazy? Aren't you going too far? This—"Before she was able to carry on forward with her words, he placed his finger on her lips and enunciated, "Do you feel cooler now? Did all the heat dissipate? Are you ready to listen to me?"She was baffled.She was freezing right now, but that did work as great distraction. However, Evelyn wasn't great at enduring low temperature, and after that pregnancy, her body weakened considerably, making her

An IV drip was attached to her hand.The sight made Evelyn's eyes widen."W-What?" she stuttered out.She couldn't process the situation in front of her. Her body trembled as she took a step forward. She stumbled and almost fell, but Landon came to the rescue by holding her shoulders, providing her with support."That's our baby."His masculine and deep voice fell.Her heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.She glared at him fiercely upon hearing this and clutched on to the collar of his shirt tightly. Her jaw clenched, and anger radiated off of her.Her aura was imposing."Do you realize what you are saying? What type of sick joke is this?"He sighed."I am not joking. This is the truth. Our baby, she didn't die back then."This made Evelyn's mind blank. She didn't know what to make of the situation. All these years, she cried due to her daughter's deat

    Landon's eyes were pinned on crouched down woman who sobbed relentlessly. Her body trembled while she hugged her knees.Variety of indescribable and inexplicable emotions crossed through his eyes. He walked over to her and placed his hand around her shoulders.Then, he said, "It is cold. Get up."His touch caused her body to stiffen. Rejected it, she slapped his hand away and got up. Her cheeks and nose was flushed. Her eyes were reddened. She was about to wipe her tears with the back of her hand when she noticed the handkerchief he held towards her, urging her to take it.Hesitancy showed in her expression.Nonetheless, not having any tissues with her, she accepted the handkerchief and wiped away the remnants of the tears.Once done, she locked away all the vulnerable emotions and faced him with coldness."Let's go," she said, her voice void of emotions.For a second there, she almost thought she spotted a sense of loss in those indifferent eyes but, thinking that was incredulous, b

    But before she was able to leave the house with her gun, Landon arrived, and his eyes immediately went towards the weapon in her hand. They narrowed on her face before he proceeded to ask, “What are you planning to do?”With her voice dripping with determination, she answered, “Kill Stacey.”“That’s enough, Evelyn. Put that gun down. It is not safe. Instead of being controlled by your emotions, try to think rationally,” he calmly said.“Shut up! I am done listening to you! A life for a life. Since she killed my child, it’s only fair I take hers,” she stated.His voice dropped dangerously low before he stated, “You will stop this absurdity at once. I have endured enough of your tantrums. Don’t force me to take actions you wouldn’t like.”Her teeth dug into her lower lip, drawing out blood.“You will stop me from killing her?” she questioned.“Evelyn, I have a lot to say to you.
