The night ended up pretty agonising and long. For the rest of the night, all she could was the talk they had. Margarette left as soon as she heard his explanation. Her mind was blown with the new information she had heard. She doesn't know what to believe anymore.All she could do was cry.She kept crying and crying until her heart was content. Her eyes were swollen and her soul was aching. Her gut twists painfully in her stomach as if her conscience were trying to guilt trip her.Xavier, on the other hand, ended up not sleeping. He went and worked through his laptop whilst watching over as his girls slept.In his heart, he was content he was able to express his side. He was able to express those emotions he kept inside him. He's not expecting to be reciprocated or being pitied, he just felt okay by being able to express. That's what matters to him right now.The next morning, Margarette refused to get up from the bed even though they had plans for the day. Xavier immediately understoo
They entered the awaiting car and sat in the backseat together. Xavier was gently swaying their sleeping daughter in his arms to try not to wake her up until it's time for their lunch. As they sat in the backseat, things were pretty silent and awkward. None of them have spoken up nor any of them tried to even move; as if they were paralyzed or something. But they knew, they knew what was going on between them.The car soon after came to a halt. They exited the vehicle and entered a 5 star restaurant which was only reserved for them alone. Xavier doesn't want anyone to disturb them nor did he want his family to get uncomfortable being around with other people and getting stared at. He treasures privacy that much, especially about this personal matter which only concerns his own family.All dishes are ready already in case the two girls might want to try everything. They were being treated special because they literally are."Gosh, I hate wasabi," she mumbled as she breathed. He laughed
Days had went passed by pretty quick. It's been a week after they went to Disneyland. So far, things had been good after that day. Xavier and Margarette's relationship had become less complicated and heavy which causes them to live comfortably around with each other for the past days."How long would it last for the renovation though? I need the exact date right now." Xavier was on his phone and was talking to someone in the garden. Margarette didn't want to interfere and listen to the conversation, but she was already there and felt the need to continue eavesdropping even though she knew it was bad. "One month is way too long. I don't care about how much would it all be cost. Double the workers and make it as soon as you can, I will double the payment. Do you understand me?" He nodded his head as if he was listening to the person on the other line. "Okay, good. 15 days, alright? Okay, good, good."He turned off the phone and let out a sigh before he put his phone back to his Jean's po
“So, better create memories instead because it last for a very long period of time.” She smiled, genuinely. “If you really want to make it up with us, then spoiling us with things like this is the least we want. It's about the quality, Xavier.”With that being said, she turned around and left, leaving him being drowned by his thoughts. His heart took a leap as he watched how she walked back inside the house with a smile still int acted on her lips.It was the first time…It was the first time since forever he saw that smile again. Furthermore, it was so pure, so innocent, and just so… genuine.He couldn't help but to fall in love again and again.'Things would fade, but memories stay forever…' Her voice rang through his head like a broken radio. It kept playing in his head. His heart was beating so fast, and loudly he could literally hear it in his head.He cupped his chest where his heart was located too. It beats only one name, and it was her.Her words weren't precise, yet it were m
Chapter 85: SoftShe took his hand rather hesitantly. She still has doubts but she's beginning to trust and forgive him. After all, it wasn't that late to start anew... Right?The three went up to the rooftop together through the elevator in the mansion. Margarette's arm was linked to his and their daughter was holding her father's other hand. They looked so perfect together. The staff and other people in the mansion couldn't help but to get stunned at how beautiful the three are.The elevator had come to its halt, welcoming the family of three to the nice, warm and comfortable wind of the night. The three of them have a smile on their faces.Xavier led his wife and daughter to the table and pulled out the chairs for them like a real gentleman before he took a seat of his own.The Christmas lights around the small mini garden on the rooftop makes everything so magical along with the soft, chilling music that comes from the piano and violin makes the atmosphere lighter and much more com
"Please, eat a lot," he said as he served his girls food on their plates. Margarette just watched as he did his thing nonchalantly as if it was the most normal thing in the world for him."You don't have to do this," she said to him with a shy smile, her cheeks burning hot as she watched him serve her like royalty.To be honest, it was still beyond her imagination that a cold, mafia leader like himself would stoop this low to serve a woman like her. She's nobody unlike some other girls after all. She's a damsel in distress. She couldn't do anything for him. She couldn't do anything for his business, for his life, and yet, he chose her. He always chose her."I want to," he answered with a wink which made their daughter giggled because she saw it."Daddy, do you love mommy?" Xaire asked with such innocence.Margarette gasped in horror as her eyes widened. "Xaire!"Xavier chuckled. "Of course, princess. Daddy loves mommy a lot. More than anything in this world." He answered with even bat
Chapter 86She averted his gaze and pretended not to hear him at all. She turned around. "Oh, my. I think I should take a bath first, right?" she blabbered around, as if she was busy doing something. "Oh, I think I should just clean my face."She picked something from the bed; a towel, and then went to walk towards the toilet. But before she could even take a few steps from him, he held her arm to stop her."Margarette," he said through his low voice. She stopped. She closed her eyes tight and mentally cursed herself.She spun over her heels and faced him with a nonchalant look."Look, I'm sorry, okay?" she started. "That just slipped through my mouth mindlessly and I didn't even realise I said it until you pointed it out yourself. Don't think about it. It was nothing. I didn't mean—"He put his finger on her lips, stopping her. "Hush." He chuckled. "I just asked one question, you don't need to write a whole essay about it."She pursed her lips into a tight line as her cheeks burned. E
Xaire giggled again after watching her father's reaction. He turned to his daughter and couldn't help but chuckle at her silliness. She's too young but she definitely already understands what's going on around her."Are you taking pictures of mommy and daddy?" he asked.Xaire nodded her head with exaggeration as she smiled cheekily. "Yep!"He smiled. "May I see?" The little girl immediately gave him his phone and showed him the photo that she took. Margarette was sleeping and clinging to him comfortably which he knew would make her mad once she saw it. But he's not gonna let her see it. Not today, though."Good job, princess," he said with pride. Even though she's young, she knew the assignment well. "Come here."Xaire went and positioned herself beside her father as they took a picture together with Margarette. They did a lot of posing and were very happy to be able to take a picture with the sleeping Margarette.Suddenly, Margarette groaned and moved, shocking the two guilty culpri
