After bathing, Darla applies the skincare that she always uses diligently. As she patted her cheeks lightly, Darla's eyes fell on the dress on the bed. She couldn't stop being amazed because the dress Sean had given her was so pretty, but she didn't want to have this. So she chose to fold the dress, then she put it back into the paper bag. She didn't know when she would be able to meet Sean again, most importantly she needed to put this back where it belonged. One day, Darla will definitely return this dress and check to Sean.
Tonight Britney gave her a permission because she didn't come to the club. Early tomorrow morning she and Noah have to catch a bus at 6 am and Darla doesn't want them to be late. Luckily Britney let Darla off work today.
Darla climbed into her bed to lie down immediately. She fiddled with her cell phone for a moment, then she looked through her gallery. Sean's photo is still there. Darla's finger touched the screen of her phone like she was admir
"Noah, come on, wake up. It's already 5 o'clock," Darla said, shaking Noah's arm.“Hmmm… I'm still sleepy.”"Okay, if you sleep again then we won't go to dad's grave."Darla's threat made Noah widen his eyes. He glanced at his older sister in annoyance before sighing. Noah still wanted to sleep a little more, but it was his request that they visit their father's grave."Why do we have to leave so early?"“Our plans for today are solid. If you want to go to restaurants, malls, and father's grave, then we have to get up early in the morning." Darla grumbled, then she pulled the blanket Noah was using. “Take a shower and get ready. We'll buy breakfast before boarding the bus."Darla came out of the room leaving Noah's door open, otherwise Noah would probably hide under the covers again. Their schedule today can be all messed up."Uh, I want to sleep again." Noah whined for a bit before he got out of bed. Re
“Why did you have to lie like that, Darla? We visited Dad's restaurant, not Grandma," said Noah as he ate his bowl of ramen. They have returned to London by bus and they are currently enjoying ramen which is quite the talk of the town. "We don't even know what grandma's face looks like.""Do you remember that dad has a lot of debt?" Darla asked again after she took a sip of her ramen.Noah nodded his head. "Then what is the connection between your lie and dad's debt?""I'm just afraid when Dad was alive he borrowed money from Harvey."“We used to live in Essex, Darla. And London isn't as narrow as you think," Noah replied and he sounded like an adult."Then if they know each other and Dad borrows money from him, will you pay the debt?" Darla asked sarcastically.Rather than thinking about that possibility, she avoided having the dependents to pay for the forest from her late father. It's not like Darla won't pay, but in fact she
Sean couldn't keep his word. The fact that last night he couldn't sleep at all and that made the bags under his eyes even more visible. His dizzy head makes him easily irritated by the people around him. In the morning, Harriet invites Sean to have breakfast together, but Sean ignores that and he heads straight out of the house. Anne, who saw Sean's behavior, was shocked.Anne tries to catch up with Sean, but her eldest son is missing in his car. Really, she just saw that Sean when he was in college. Eyes full of irritation, front door slamming, and indifferent to the surroundings. Oh, this must be just Anne's feeling. Sean seems to be having a lot of work so his mood is also messed up."Grandmother?" Harriet called to Anne, tugging at the hem of Anne's T-shirt."Yes, dear?""Did I have something wrong with daddy? Why does Daddy look angry at me?” Harriet's face, which was full of smiles, turned sad.Anne smiled as she shook her head. "How ca
Harvey met Dalton at a cemetery in Essex. He came all the way here just to confirm one thing which was Philiph's grave. After he meets Sean's neighbor, Harvey waits for Dalton who only arrives ten minutes later. Harvey hoped that this time they would find results.“From what I heard, Philiph's two children still often come to Philiph's grave. If they come today, you can directly ask them questions," said Darlton.They were now walking towards Philiph's grave. They both seemed surprised that there was a beer and a peanut bun right on top of Philiph's grave. In addition, Philiph's grave also looks clean and it is different from the photo previously sent by Dalton."Looks like we're a few steps late," Harvey quipped.Dalton snorted in disgust with himself. He swore that he didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. It was still too early anyway, so Dalton didn't think the Philiphs had arrived so early.“E-excuse me, sir. I’m
It was pretty quiet in Sean's office once Harvey arrived on the floor from Sean's company. He was familiar with the atmosphere here because he had been in Sean's place for quite a while. Usually this floor is quite crowded with staff talking to talk about their work. But this time it was so quiet and all of the staff's faces were pale. They even just focus on their laptop screen and there is only the sound of their fingers typing on their keyboard. They weren't even aware that Harvey was walking past their cubicle until Bertha greeted him."Hello, Sir Harvey." Secretary Sean greeted Harvey politely."Hello, Bertha. What's with the atmosphere here?” Harvey couldn't hide his curiosity because things were so awkward here.“Oh, were we being too clear?” asked Bertha with a faint smile. She scratched her unhinged hair because she didn't know whether to tell Harvey the truth or not. After all, Harvey is Sean's older brother."What really happe
"Sean, what is this?" asked Harvey in a disbelieving voice."What?" At first Sean seemed annoyed that Harvey seemed to keep bothering him, but he was surprised when he saw Harvey was indeed a folder. Damn, that's the map he threw yesterday! Sean immediately got up from his chair, then he walked over to Harvey on the couch. "It's just an ordinary document. Give it to me."Harvey chuckled as soon as Sean got his paperwork back. "So, you had sex with a girl?"“Fuck you, Harvey! Why are you reading my documents?” Sean looked annoyed that Harvey was reading his documents secretly. What's more, Sean was trying to keep this a secret from anyone."It's on the floor. If it's an important document, you can't just put it away.” Harvey didn't want to lose because this was all the result of Sean's carelessness.Sean snorted in annoyance before tossing the document to the floor again. It was true what Bertha said that Sean was indeed sensitive
"WHAT?!"Sean did not expect the answer he heard. Darla is a next door neighbor. Darla is Noah's older sister! How could this be a coincidence?!“Are you really ignorant of that fact? I mean your house and him are next door," Harvey asked in disbelief.“Do you think I would react this way if I knew that fact? I didn't even know at this second!” Sean pulled his hair wildly. One of the reasons he made the affidavit was so that his chances of meeting Darla were slim, but it turns out that Darla lives next door?Harvey took a deep breath, then he thought. “Okay, you can say don't know Darla, but how did you end up having sex with her? How did you two meet?”"I really don't know her." Sean emphasized the sentence in frustration. “And . . . and I already said that I don't remember at all. You know how bad I am when I've been exposed to alcohol."Sean is not completely lying. He didn't remember how he ended up ha
"Are you serious? This is for me?”Harriet's eyes lit up at the pen in her hand. On top of the pen is a princess's head and it's so pretty!"Yeah, I haven't given you a present for your birthday. I hope you like my simple gift," said Noah, sounding sincere. When he and Darla went to the bookstore yesterday, he purposely gave it to Harriet.“This is not a simple gift. There's a princess in this pen!” Harriet refuses to mention that Noah's gift was just a regular pen. The proof is that she really likes this pen. "Uh, it's so pretty!"Noah chuckled because he was glad that Harriet liked his gift. "When I grow up, I'll buy you a better present."Harriet nodded her head enthusiastically. "Yeah, I was waiting for that. Hmmm... Noah? Where is Darla? Why can't I see her?"“Oh, Darla is registering a school for me. I will start elementary school this year.” Noah explained that. Early in the morning Darla had said goodbye
