Second Chance For Him? 162. Leave me out
Clara's POVTo my relief, Keith showed up by himself, not with Selena. He showed up with a bouquet. The stunning display of pink flowers in different varieties, even larger than the last one he gifted me.Before I got into his car, I looked over at the coffee shop and caught sight of Diana beaming at me, giving me a thumbs up. It made me chuckle. I checked my phone and saw she sent a message wishing that dinner tonight went well.I was typing a response when I heard Keith ask. "What's going on? What’s with the surprised look on your face? Sorry for running a little behind. The road was somewhat busy.""No problem at all," I answered quickly. I breathed in the lovely scent of the bouquet resting on my lap, and it instantly brightened my mood. "I honestly didn't expect you to bring me flowers again."He gave a faint smile. "This is a replacement for the one from a few days ago. You know I have no option when I have to take it from you and hand it to-”"Never mind. I really love this

Clara's POV"Sorry, Selena. What do you mean you're invited to come along as well?" Keith asked, both of us puzzled by Selena's words.I know Keith didn't invite her since Selena wasn't meant to be there.As he said, this dinner would be the occasion when he would officially tell his family about his proposal to me. And that he would make our relationship official. This was meant to be an intimate dinner with just a select few attending.Selena to gaze at us, especially at Keith, with disappointment. "I'm not surprised you forgot it. Because what's important to you is you're going with Clara, you don't care anymore that you were supposed to take me along too."Upon hearing that, I turned my focus to Keith. My hand that had been resting on his arm fell away as I processed Selena's confession.But Keith just shook his head in his response "That must be a different dinner. Not this one." He answered.My heart raced a little faster. Why is Selena saying that she is supposed to come too?

Clara's POV"Oh my dear, You're finally here. I was so anxious that you might not be able to come since you hadn't said anything to me at all." Iris Morgan said to Selena after they wrapped up their hug.Iris welcomed Selena as if it had been a decade since their last encounter. She glanced my way for a moment, but of course, she didn’t say anything to recognize I was there, much less offer a greeting."Come here, take a seat." Iris invited Selena, and they sat down in the chairs next to each other. Keith settled in beside her mother, and I took the chair right next to him."Sorry, we had a little trouble earlier. Keith almost forgot that I was invited too." Selena said to Iris with a small giggle.Iris shot her son a disapproving glare as she turned to face him. "Seriously, Keith? Did you forget that I invited Selena as well? How is that even possible?""You didn't say anything to me that Selena would be there too, Mom," Keith replied.Then Iris's gaze flicked to me for a moment.

Clara's POV"I’ll let you handle it since I believe you can make your own choice. It's up to you now, Keith. You just have to choose what to focus on more: your desires or the interests of the company." James continue.And it made Keith, who was about to respond, fall silent instantly.He went quiet, and I could feel his thoughts clashing with each other at that moment. Under the table, I didn't let go of his hand from my hold. I know this gesture is just something small and insignificant, but at least I could offer him some support. And let him know that I will always be there for him."Well said, James. That's what I try to explain to your brother, but he refuses to listen to me because he insists that I'm just a woman and don't understand the details of your father's business." Iris replied, her eyes reflecting a sense of satisfaction.Then when she turned towards Selena, they both exchanged a satisfied smile."I can find another investor-""Sure you can find another investor.

Clara's POVIris Morgan's cry echoed through the room as Keith pulled her close with his arm.I was standing in the corner of the room, feeling completely out of place and unsure of what to do. I wanted to do something to support Keith and comfort her, but I wasn't sure if they would be open to it. I came to understand that, I was partly responsible for this situation."Mom you may stop your cry. Look I'm not going anywhere. So stop worrying." Keith said as his mother now stopped sobbing.But tears still streaked down her face now as they stared at each other.Iris said with a shaky voice, "How can I not worry when this is the first time I've seen you change so much? I hardly recognize the son I brought into this world anymore."Keith shook his head. He let out a sigh that sounded tired "What do you even mean? Nothing has changed here? I'm still your son."Selena walked over with a glass of water and passed it to Iris. The woman accepted it and expressed her gratitude to Selena. Sele

Clara's POVA week later.I stood with the other parents, listening for my daughter's name to be announced. The classroom was nearly vacant when the teacher finally called my daughter's name. With a sigh of relief, I stood up from my chair and walked over to the stunning woman wearing square glasses.Olivia Webber, Layla's teacher, welcomed me with a warm smile. “Miss Russel, it’s great to see you again after such a long time. I'm so excited to share Layla's accomplishments with you!" She said.I took a seat in front of her and smiled. I felt relieved because, despite the long vacation that required me to take her to New York, Layla managed to keep up with the lessons. "I’m sorry Layla had to take such a long day off from school a few months back," I said.Miss Olivia flashed me a knowing smile “No worries. Layla is an incredibly smart kid, and I have no doubt she can keep up effortlessly. See? She proved it through her outstanding academic performance this semester."Then she we

Clara's POVI found myself lost in thought as I drove into Keith's apartment. Layla's words kept echoing in my mind, and I just couldn't shake them off.How she wants a father figure to be present at the performance. She wouldn't care if it was all just a facade, even if it was only for a day, as long as she could experience a moment with both of her parents there. My heart felt like it was being crushed, and I didn't pay attention to driving until I nearly went off the road.I blinked and let out a deep breath. I always made sure she never felt like she was missing out on anything. I was overly sure that I had managed to provide her with a joyful perfect life, not realizing there was one part she needed that I could never truly provide.I would never be able to provide a father figure for her.The life she lives now is a result of the choice I made six years ago when I chose to conceal my pregnancy and leave James behind for good.'It's all your fault.'

Clara's POV"Congratulations Mrs. Morgan, You're pregnant." The doctor said as she passed me my test result."Really?"I still struggle to wrap my head around it because everyone said that I was a barren woman. My hands trembled when read my test result. I gently ran my hand over my still-flat stomach, where James's baby is now living."Thank you, doctor."What a wonderful gift for our two-year marriage on our anniversary day. My husband’s return from his business trip is tonight. How will he react when I share the news with him? I can't wait.'Maybe James wouldn't hate me anymore and would come to love me once he know I will give him an heir.’I swung by the minimarket to pick up some cooking ingredients before heading home. I’m going to prepare James' favorite dish for dinner tonight; it’s going to be a memorable night for us both."Ma'am, you look so happy today. Would you share the reason with me?"Eda, one of the assistants in our home, asked as I was arranging the groceries in th

Clara's POVA few days later."How could you let that happen? How could you let Selena stay in the same apartment as him? Sure, you can say you trust him, but shouldn't you have put a stop to it right away in case the worst happens?" Diana exclaimed.Her voice was quite loud. I was worried that some of the people at the nearby tables might overhear her."Sshh. Not too loud." I whispered to her.We were at a coffee shop, having a great time and sharing some juicy gossip. Making the most of the short break we had from work. It’s a little odd but also enjoyable since we usually share our stories and gossip in the TasteTales kitchen."She doesn't live with him. Keith has one of the units in the apartment for her to live in; he intentionally chose the same building to ensure her safety. But he said she could come over to his place whenever she wanted. He did it because Selena was upset and said it wasn't fair that I was given access and she wasn't." I responded.It's what Keith shared wi

Clara's POV"I haven't forgotten about you, Selena. I was actually planning to get you some flowers too. I just haven't given it to you yet." Keith said, "Hey, don't feel down."His voice faded slightly. As if watching her become sad brought a wave of sadness over him too. “So, where is it? I don't see any flowers for me." Selena offered a wistful smile, "It's okay, Keith. If you weren't planning on buying me flowers, you didn't need to do it."She then returned the bouquet to me. And I accepted it right away. Keith gave flowers to me, didn't he? I suppose I should be the one to keep it then. Selena glanced back at us one last time before turning and walking away. I could sense her disappointment. She's truly sad; the best friend who was always by her side every years on her birthday seems to have been overlooked this time. Suddenly, the bouquet in my hand felt heavy, as if holding it was somehow wrong.That's when Keith stopped her "Wait, Selena."Selena came to a sudden halt. I
