Edwin wasn’t expecting Chesley to behave so audaciously even after his warning.But when Ben informed him what happened outside Edwin’s office Edwin was fuming with anger.“Where is she?” Edwin asked.“I told him to visit the hospital, her bruise was looking horrible,” Ben said sadly and Edwin rubbed his head frustrated.He should have gone with him, but he wasn’t sure whether she would like to see his face.Every event surrounding them only contributed to affecting their relationship.Edwin had no idea how to bring them back like the time they were spending before all this mess started.After the office, Ben returned home and went to check on Elisa.But when he entered, he noticed she was trying to get off the Ben but failing miserably.Her leg was bandaged, so it wasn’t convenient for her to get off the bed.“What are you doing?” Ben walked hurriedly and held her, making her sit on the bed.“I can’t,” Elisa said with a pained expression.“Elisa, don’t be stubborn. The doctor had adv
When Edwin returned home, Janet wasn’t back, it was already 10 at night, so maybe she wouldn’t return.Thinking this, Edwin decided to retire in his room.Today’s work was hectic. He had to meet some business associates during dinner, as they had a flight the next morning.The meeting was so boring and he couldn’t concentrate as his mind was occupied with Janet’s thoughts.He knew Chesley’s misbehavior would have consequences, and he didn’t want to suffer anymore for someone else’s mistake.He wanted to settle this matter as early as possible, but she couldn’t do it before Sunday.This week his schedule was too packed even for him to breathe, let alone take a tour of the Wilson residence.Before going to bed, he noticed the jug in his room was empty and came to fill it when he noticed someone entering the house.He waited in the dark and then noticed a haggard-looking person entering the house.He could say even in the dark it was Janet.Edwin looked at the clock, and it was midnight.
Lara was embarrassed hearing Edwin’s words.Chesley was his fiancé why did he say he didn’t want to join because of outsiders?But she noticed Chesley didn’t mind, so she didn’t meddle on this topic.At night when they retired to bed, she slowly scooted toward Edward and he took her in his arm habitually.“Edward, what’s happening with Edwin?” Lara asked, placing her face on his chest.Edward didn’t want to inform Lara about this matter, but his closeness with Chesley was affecting Edwin’s relationship with them.They couldn’t ignore his feelings because of some outsiders.“I think you should stay away from Chesley,” Edward said and Lara looked up confused.“Chesley is Edwin’s fiancé, our future daughter-in-law.” Lara didn’t understand his words.He looked dissatisfied with her behavior.“Lara, you wanted to announce this engagement, so I didn’t stop you. But you should have asked Edwin beforehand.” Edward said and Lara sat up and looked at him dissatisfied.“don’t you know his charac
In these months, Edwin had allowed none of his relatives to visit here. Even Elisa never came here to disturb them before that party.but in these few days, first Chesley and then Lara.last time, she introduced herself as Edwin’s secretary in front of Chesley.But what would she say to Lara about her? A secretary would never step inside the kitchen and work like the lady of the house.Before she didn’t think about it as it was Edwin’s demand and according to the contract she had to fulfill it.And she preferred home cook meals rather than those expensive takeout which weren’t worth of money.But she didn’t want to face Lara’s questions. She didn’t want Lara to think she was some cheap whore.“Grandma, what are you doing here?” Elisa asked stuttering and even she also looked at Janet.Ben wasn’t sure what the situation would happen when Lara noticed Janet, but how these two stupid siblings were looking at Janet Lara would notice her without effort.They were behaving like a child who
Janet was disturbed hearing Lara’s offer.She was worried Lara would misunderstand her, but her question proved she was sure about Janet’s relationship with Edwin.Why did she ask those questions?Was she making sure Janet didn’t get involved in Edwin’s and Chesley’s relationship?What other reason she could have when a few weeks back she was announcing Chesley as their daughter-in-law in front of everyone?Maybe she wanted to give her a warning.She wanted to make sure Janet didn’t try to break their relationship.That could be the only reason.In Wilson’s residence,Edward was anxiously pacing around when he couldn’t find Lara inside the house.Lara rarely went outside because of her health issue and whenever she walked out, Edward always accompanied her.He couldn’t get peace thinking what would happen if she suffered from a sudden heart attack and there was no one to take her to the hospital.She had already suffered from two minor attacks and the doctor had advised her to stay ca
“Don’t behave like a hooligan,” Janet mumbled, and Edwin snickered.“Hooligan?” Edwin asked.“Didn’t I say I don’t want you to come close to me?” Janet asked.“But you fell on me,” Edwin countered, making Janet irked up.“You…” Janet was going to scold him, but she didn’t.They were silently sitting and looking at the TV, which was turned off long back.“Why did you do this all the time?” Janet asked and Edwin turned his face toward her but Janet wasn’t looking at him.“As much as I want to stay away from you, you don’t let me.” Janet slowly said, but her words held accusation.She was annoyed at how much Edwin affected her still, she couldn’t do anything about this.She was getting sucked in him and like he was a black hole pulling her toward him and she could do nothing to ignore this pull.“Why do you want to stay away? Did you never feel the emotions between us?” Edwin asked finally.He was confused as to why she wanted to stay away when Edwin could see he affected her as much as
Next morning,When Janet woke up, she found herself sleeping peacefully in her bed.She had no memory of the conversation she had with Edwin, so she didn’t know she had almost confessed her love to him.Moreover, she forgot all the secrets that she was hiding inside her heart were exposed.She walked inside the bathroom to freshen up as usual.In the dining room,Elisa was sitting holding her plate as she was hungry.“How long, Edwin?” Elisa yelled, and Edwin just rolled his eyes and concentrated on his cooking.It’s been so long since they were having breakfast like this.They used to do it when their parents used to go out on business trips.Elisa has always been a pampered child and Edwin used to make her breakfast before they got ready for school and college, respectively.“Don’t yell like you are starving from eon,” Edwin said and Elisa struck her spoon on the plate.“I am. My stomach has been protesting since last night.” Elisa argued, and Edwin just chuckled.“Why? Didn’t you h
Edwin took Elisa to the Wilson residence as she complained she was getting bored living alone.Edwin was busy with his office work and he found her demand reasonable.When Edwin entered, Lara was delighted.She excitedly ordered the butler to prepare dinner for them and though Edwin wasn’t ready to stay, she couldn’t disappoint her.Edwin thought of meeting Edward as he had nothing to do with these ladies.“He is sitting inside his study,” Lara informed Edwin and busied herself with Elisa.When Edwin walked upstairs, Lara carefully confirmed he wasn’t listening to their conversation and pulled Elisa toward the living room and sat closer.“Grandma, what happened?” Elisa couldn’t guess her sneaky behavior and asked.“You tell me what’s happening between Edwin and that girl, what’s her name… Janet.” Lara said, remembering.“You must have mistaken. Nothing is going on between them. Janet is my friend,” Elisa said hurriedly, looking elsewhere trying to break eye contact with her.She had gu
