TYLER POV 41I could see my son with Mr. Hamilton while Veronica was smiling and looking at him. I admit that I was hurt more than I could see. I frowned and dared to approach the three of them."Happy birthday, Son" I said smiling and Veronica looked at me seriously.“Can I borrow my child for a moment?” I asked Veronica with a smile."Umm, later,"she replied."Do you hear what you're saying? I'm the father of that girl,not her" I told him emphatically."Tyler!" "I just want to be with my son.Why do you seem to give that man more rights over me ?!"I said, frowning."Actually, I'd rather be a father to Veronica's child," Mr. Hamilton smiled proudly."What did you say ?!" I said angrily.I tried to stop myself from punching this man. "Please don't make a mess. It's your son's birthday today, don't you really have respect ?!" Veronica asked me with glaring eyes."Then respect me as a father of your son. Even if that's all you can give Veronica even if you don't forgive me,"she replied
VERONICA POV 40 "Are you okay?" Jade asked me gently.I smiled at him but I was surprised when he held my hand. Even though I wasn't staring in Tyler's direction I knew he had been looking at us.I no longer objected to Jade holding my hands.Especially when I saw Ana with Tyler while drinking."They're having fun drinking with his woman. Why don't you try to be happy with me?"he asked softly.I just smiled at what he said even though I was not comfortable with him holding my hand.A few moments later, Mr. Gonzales approached me to say goodbye and I smiled at him. I thanked him for coming to my son's birthday."Thank you for coming, Mr. Gonzales," I said smiling."You're always welcome,"he replied smiling.I saw him approach Ana and Tyler to take them home.Tyler was obviously drunk and Ana was still supporting him. I don't know why I was disgusted with what I saw. I took a deep breath to relieve the annoyance I felt at times.I followed them with my gaze until I left the mansion. The man
VERONICA POV 41 "I'm sorry but I prioritize my job more than anything else. If you can't wait I can't do anything," he said seriously. "Tyler, please!" I said disgustedly. "I think you may have forgotten that I have resigned from the company. I have no responsibility there anymore," he replied. "Aren't you indebted to dad? He worked for this company and this is what raised you. Remember that!" I said emphatically. "This is what you want, isn't it? To lose me from the company? Then now you speak like I didn't fight the company before? I did everything before to help you but just because of your fucking anger you didn't listen to me.You don't accept everything of the projects I made and now tell me should I blame myself for that failure?! "he replied emphatically. I couldn't answer what he said and I immediately hung up my phone because I was annoyed. I was annoyed with him but I was more annoyed with myself because whatever I do, I can't stand without him at this time.My father's
TYLER POV 42While sitting in the office chair and working on the laptop, my mind was flying. My mind was confused as to whether I would give in to Veronica after I gave up the company that my father worked for. I just gasped as I thought about it.Suddenly my phone rang and I immediately shoved it in my pocket. I thought it was an unknown number but I immediately answered to identify it."Hello?" I uttered."Tyler, this is Aunt Dasha.I dared to call you to please you, son," she said gently."I know you're not okay,Tyler. I understand you if it's not that easy for you to give in to Veronica. But your father's company depends on it.,"she said."We both know that Veronica can't really run the company alone.She needs you now so please give in to her.Help her just for your son's future, "she added.I sighed at what I heard from Aunt Dasha. Actually I was also thinking about that thing. I was still thinking about my dream for my son then. I want him to follow in my footsteps even though I
TYLER POV 43"He just cheated on me, I think he had something to do with the sudden drop in sales at the company. He even told me that he was very angry with Dad," he replied.“What ?! I told you I had a different feeling about that man at first! ”I said emphatically."You never told me,"her eyes glared."Oh,yeah because I know you won't listen,"I replied.I stopped when I noticed her serious looks at me. We stared at each other for a while at that time."I don't expect that I will get to the point where I am the one who will approach you.Honestly, until now I'm still really angry with you and I won't just lose it. But dad's company depends on it for our son's future.I don't want to regret it in the end. I don't want my father's hard work to come to naught just because I became selfish,"she said seriously.I smiled sparingly at what she said.I was happy because at least somehow she also realized that it was not just about herself. It was not about her anger towards me but about the we
TYLER POV 44"See you tomorrow and take care,"she said with a smile.I didn't expect her to say that to me. I said goodbye to her and didn't lose my smiles as I walked out of the mansion. I immediately got inside my car and turned it on.As I walked along the road, I could imagine Veronica's beautiful smile earlier. This would have been the beginning of our relationship. I don't hope that we can go back to the past and all I want is for her to lose her anger towards me and learn.She would have forgiven me.When I arrived at the Condo I immediately got dressed and took a bottle of wine. I drank first to make me feel drowsy. I went to the Veranda and stood while looking at the view at the bottom of the building. I could see the traffic and the lights on the road that shines in my sight.The next day I woke up early and got up. I brushed my teeth and took a shower in the bathroom.I put on a black suit and Slacks pants after. I fixed my hair and put perfume in front of the mirror. A few m
TYLER POV 45She suddenly vomited in front of me. I was very surprised and immediately lifted her. Aunt Dasha approached us immediately, confused and supported her."God! What's wrong with you,daughter? Why did you get drunk like that?" Aunt Dasha asked, confused."I'm sorry,Aunt.Your daughter is really stubborn," I replied.I helped Veronica sit on the sofa and took a towel with lukewarm water. Aunt Dasha wiped her and I couldn't help but stare at her face."I'm really sorry,Tyler.My son really has a lot of problems,"Aunt dasha said."I know that,Aunt" I replied gently.I heard her sigh as she wiped Veronica's face."I'll take care of it, Son. I know your work is early tomorrow. Go home so you can rest," she said gently."I'll help you take her up to her room," I volunteered."Ahm, go ahead,she's a bit heavy so i can't carry her to her room"Aunt Dasha said with a smile. I carried Veronica up the stairs to her room.When I put her on the bed I couldn't help but look at her face. I swal
TYLER POV 46"Take care and see you tomorrow," he told me with a smile.I smiled at what he said and got into the car. I followed his car with my gaze as he drove away. I also followed his car for a few minutes before turning off the road back to my condo. The condo. The condo. The smile never left my lips for hours. I was very happy with what he said and had hoped that everything would be fine as well. While driving along the road, I couldn't help but look at my phone. I wanted to call her to see if she had returned home or if she had returned safely to the mansion. But I don't want to rush everything to her. I took a deep breath and smiled as I thought of her. When I arrived at the condo unit, I got dressed and lay down on the bed. I couldn't help but smile while staring at my phone. I was hesitant to call her because she might get angry or mislead me. My phone suddenly rang, but I was disappointed when I saw it was a call from Ana. I sighed and went back to bed. The next day I
