All Chapters of PICTURE OF YOU: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

LYZAThe women looked at me as soon as I occupied one of the seats in the shaded area. They all look like they are in their late thirties and forties while I am a teenager. I smiled timidly at them and refocused on the men howling those heavy tubs.I wondered how Matthew endured this. He used to live that someone handed him everything he needed, but now, he's working hard to earn money for both of us. Tears brimmed my eyes, but I blinked them away. I didn't want Matthew to worry. He was exhausted to add his worriesAt exactly eight in the morning, a bell sounded, and the men stopped what they were doing. One by one, they approached us. I searched where Matthew was among them, and I sadly smiled when I saw him approaching me with a smile on his lips despite how messy and exhausted he was. I held his hand and pulled him to sit beside me. I removed his jacket and the clothes that he used to cover his head and wiped his face with a towel I brought, then offered him a bottle of water whil

ABBYAfter the delivery men left, Matthew and I went to the market. "Babe, I think you need to buy new clothes. You should wear formal clothes when going to the office. Let's buy three pairs of long sleeves, pants, and black shoes.""Okay. I'm also thinking that. "Let's buy your clothes before we buy the ingredients I need later. ""Okay. But you choose for me." He grinned. "Okay, I will. Let's go." We went to the clothing store and looked for his long sleeves and pants. I picked white, sky blue, a checkered color. His pants are two black and one brown."Do you like what I choose? ""I like whatever you choose for me. Can we buy a bag, too? "Okay, you choose your bag and the shoes. " "After we bought Matthew's things, we headed to the market to buy the ingredients I needed for our dinner later. We can't use the fridge tonight. The delivery men said to let it rest before turning it on. So we can use it by tomorrow. "We are lucky to meet Sir Patrick and Ma'am Celeste. " I said as

Abby glanced at Patrick beside her with eyes brimming with tears, and he smiled at her. "Stop crying. You'll ruin your makeup, and it's bad for my grandchild." A sob escaped from her lips, and she wrapped her arms around him. "Keep moving. Matthew might think you don't want to marry him." He whispered. Abby pulled away from the hug and composed herself. They continue moving until they reach in front of Matthew. Abby quickly threw herself at him and cried.,"Hey, Sorry for not giving you a proper proposal and going straight to the wedding. I..."You sneaky ass." Abby hissed, then smack him. Everyone gasped for a few seconds, then oh and laughed when she crashed her lips at him, then pulled away and dragged the still-stunned Matthew in front of the priest."Father, you can start the wedding now." She said, wiping her tears again. Matthew chuckled beside her, as well as the people around them, including the priest. The wedding ended with full of laughter, with a big feast after. Patrick

ABBYI heard whispered and hush voices around me, but my body felt heavy and numb. Even my eyelids, I can't open them. It felt like a ton of weight was weighing them down. I tried to move my fingers, but even that was futile. I attempted to make a sound, but nothing came out.I gave up and used my sense of hearing to know what was happening around me. A loud cry echoed around, and I cringed, then I gasped. A baby? My baby. I tried my hardest to move and open my eyes when another painful cry sounded, and I heard someone come in and try to hush the baby."Hush baby. Mommy will wake up soon." Auntie?? I forced my finger to move, and I heard the beeping sound pick up, maybe my heart monitor. "Patrick called the nurse Abby's heart monitor_ I heard feet scamper away, Auntie Celeste sob, and the baby cry echoed around me again. I tried to move my finger again, and I made a little movement. I heard feet nearing, and after a few seconds, my one eye was forced open, and a blinding light flashed

I sat uncomfortably on the couch with Arabella on my lap. Mia's eyes were piercings on me while Arabella was looking at her with a smile plastered on her lips. It was the first time I brought a guest to our home, and she found her fascinating, with her bright red hair like her Barbie doll. I brought her home because I was sure she wouldn't let me leave until she got all the answers to all her questions. "Abby.""Bella, can you play with Nanny Sarah for a while? Mommy and Aunt Mia have something to talk about. It's an adult thing and not good for the kids to hear.""Ok, mommy." She kissed my cheek before she ran toward her nanny, and I waited for her to get inside her room before I focused all my attention on Mia."How are you, Mia?" "You change." She muttered."I need to.""What happened, Abby? You know how worried I am, as well as Cora. You didn't even say goodbye to us, so we won't worry. We search everywhere to find you and Matthew, afraid that his parents found you first and wil
