Chapter 78

[Cattleya]

“Isn’t Lance also a victim of the situation ..?”

“I also thought of that too. But Lance was only a victim of the situation when they were younger. Not until he grew up with her mother by his side and became evil. ” Finnley uttered before he checked his phone. “There’s more to it that I am left to tell. But, I don’t think I can today. ”

My eyebrows furrowed because of what he said. I looked outside to see if it was dark outside and we were very engulfed in our story but not really and still bright outside.

"Why? The wedding coordinator hasn't called me yet. I still have time. What else are you going to tell me? ” I asked as I sipped my drink that I hadn’t yet consumed.

“We can talk about it next time. But for now, to save my precious life, I have to take you back to him. ” He said as he rose to his seat.

“Why are you in such a hurry. Maybe Jaxson isn't there yet and he's still doing some work. I'll just be left there when I— ”I couldn't continue what I was about to say when Finn put a big donut in my mouth.

“Just listen to me. I am saving my own life. ” He said sparingly and then pulled me out of the shop and then quickly put me inside the car.

At the speed of events I was unable to speak. When Finn got into his car, he immediately started his car.

"Did Jaxson tell you something so you're like that?" I asked him.

It just nodded at me in response as its eyes were on the road.

“I would like to ask you something more. Last night while we were at the restaurant we had to meet a child. And Jaxson acted really strange when he saw those kids. It was as if he was stunned at first and didn't know what to do. Then when we saw a boy, he seemed helpful and he really took care of the boy too much. Just in case the real parent takes the child, he suddenly becomes solemn again. I'm guessing that maybe it's because of the baby he didn't expect that it turns out to be Lance. ” I kept screaming while my eyes were on the road as well.

“I guess so. I haven’t had the experience of meeting a child with Jaxson after everything that happened so I really don’t know. ” He uttered. “But I think that you are right by your speculations because Jaxson was really looking forward to his life as a father when he found out that Daniella was pregnant. But now the baby was claimed by a different father. ”

We were silent for a moment and it seemed that only a loud series of sighs could be heard around.

“—But, Cattleya, really… I can see a little difference to Jaxson now. So whatever it is that you are doing, you’re doing a great job. ”

"Wait!" I exclaimed so Finn stopped what he was saying. "I left the flower!"

“Huh !?” Finn exclaimed in an even higher tone than me. "Cattleya, we're too far from the cafe and we'll be late when we return."

"Let it go…" I said.

Maybe that's okay. I was also able to take a picture of that bouquet and the important thing I received in front of Jaxson.

"I'll just say I left and I didn't notice when he asked me."

***

When I arrived at Ruegold, Finn told me that he would not come with me inside because he still needed to go somewhere, so he just left me here in front of Jaxson's company.

When I started walking I was surprised to be surrounded by securities like they did when I was with Jaxson. At the same time Gunther showed up to me. He went to my side and then walked with me while the guards also walked with us.

This is the first time this has happened to me. They treat me the same way they treat Jaxson even when I’m not with them and they don’t see it.

“Good afternoon, Ms. Cattleya! ” An employee said that he was also surprised.

"Good afternoon!" I reply to him.

How could they have known my name? Did Jaxson tell them?

When I finally got to Jaxson's room I took a deep breath first because I knew we would be so uncomfortable because he hadn't noticed me before.

I let out deep sighs before I had the courage to push the door and open it.

I gasps as my hand flew to my mouth as I saw Daniella and Jaxson inside her office.

I wanted to turn around and run but my feet seemed to be stuck where I was standing.

I caught Daniella kissing Jaxson on his cheek. I don’t know if it’s right for me to go back right away because I might be bothering them.

When I grabbed myself I closed the door again and left them inside.

I walked away quickly but I didn’t know where I was going.

I can’t understand myself as well as how I feel. I don’t know why something is starting to clog my throat at the same time as my eyes are warming up.

I was shocked when suddenly someone pulled my hand and then pulled me. When I looked at who it was it was Gunther. I am not sure where he intends to take me but I didn't struggle anymore and just let him pull me into the elevator.

As the elevator door closes, I can’t understand why I seem to be waiting for Jaxson to chase me.

But I knew that wouldn’t happen.

When it finally closed I just closed my eyes. I felt hot tears dripping down my cheek so I bent down a little to wipe it quickly.

Why is this… Why does my chest hurt…

I just realized that my tears kept flowing to the point that it was hard to stop them.

When the door opened, I was overwhelmed with a large garden here on the rooftop.

The surroundings are beautiful, but why am I crying even more. I can no longer really understand myself as well as the emotions I feel.

Did I think Jaxson was mad at Daniella? Did I think he wanted to retaliate and take revenge on them? Did I think he was trying to forget her?

But why did I end up like that ..?

“Why do I feel so… betrayed ..?”

I did not realize that the words in my mind had already come out of my lips.

Fortunately, there is no one else here but Gunther and me.

“You feel betrayed because you have so much trust in him. You love him. ”

I was distracted by a word he uttered.

“ - You are crying right now because you saw the person you love with another woman in the room together. You feel cheated, and heart broken. ”

I struggled to stare at Gunther's face even though my eyes were blurred with the tears that had accumulated from it.

“Look at yourself right now. If you weren't hurt by what you saw, you wouldn't cry like that. ” He added.

I just averted my eyes and then just stared at the ground.

“I can’t love him…” I muttered. "It's so ironic how I am going to marry that man tomorrow, whom I can't even love."

“Only you can tell whether you should love someone or not. Loving a person doesn’t mean that they should love you back. Loving someone unconditionally without asking them back is true love. ” He said calmly.

Slowly I looked back at her as I wiped away my tears with my hand.

“I can’t be his lover, Gun…” I murmured. [Cattleya]

“Isn’t Lance also a victim of the situation ..?”

“I also thought of that too. But Lance was only a victim of the situation when they were younger. Not until he grew up with her mother by his side and became evil. ” Finnley uttered before he checked his phone. “There’s more to it that I am left to tell. But, I don’t think I can today. ”
