All Chapters of Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy!: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

SELENAAfter my discharge from the hospital over a week ago, I've received no contact from Pedro. No phone calls, no visits, and no word from him about his whereabouts. When I try calling him, my calls go unanswered, and it's leaving me feeling increasingly anxious. I'm concerned and want to know if he's okay."I could attend the meeting alone while you rest," Christopher said, groaning as he descended the stairs. "You only just got discharged from the hospital last week. There's no need to rush back to work, Lena."Ever since the incident at the dinner that landed me in the hospital, Christopher had been extra overprotective of me. He wouldn't let me lift a finger, and even his temper had mellowed, despite my attempts to reach out to Pedro. And I have to admit, I was grateful for his control over his temper."I appreciate your concern," I said, offering him a reassuring smile. "But the doctor has given me the all-clear, and I feel perfectly capable of attending the meeting today."As

SELENA"I think we should send Liam to school when we get back home," Christopher said, his smile warm as he entwined his fingers with mine. "What do you think?" We walked out of the conference room after the meeting.Pedro still didn't show up for the meeting, and now that I knew why, I refused to let it bother me. I pushed the thought of him out of my head and focused all my attention on the meeting. I wasn't going to let him distract me. He could go do whatever he wanted for all I cared."I think that's the right call," I said, brushing my thumb across his hand. "I don't need to hide Liam from the public anymore. Pedro has already met him." I couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation, biting my lip to contain my amusement. A few years ago, I'd thought so highly of Pedro Lopez, and now I realized he didn't care about me or my opinion of him. It was oddly liberating."I want him to have the same opportunities as his peers," I said, breathing a sigh of relief as we s

PEDROI had never regretted anything more in my life than agreeing with my father to let Louisa stay with me. It was one thing to agree to marry her to protect my mother's secret, which my father had threatened to expose if I didn't. But it was another thing entirely to actually let her into my home. The whole situation was like a bad dream that I couldn't wake up from.I knew that avoiding Selena was causing her pain, but I couldn't bring myself to face her. Every time I saw Louisa, I felt like I was betraying Selena all over again. I hated myself for the way I was treating her, but I didn't know what else to do. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place, and I didn't know how to make it right.The door to my office creaked open, and without even turning to look, I knew it was Roy. I could hear his footsteps crossing the room, stopping only when he was right beside me. The air was heavy with tension, and I could feel his gaze burning into my back. I took a deep breath, trying to s

PEDRO The past few days had been a blur of work, a welcome distraction from my chaotic thoughts. With Roy away at a business conference, I had plenty of projects to keep me busy. The constant stream of tasks had been a relief, preventing my mind from dwelling on the troubling events around me. It had been a relief not to have Louisa constantly demanding things from me. But I hadn't seen Selena since my visit to the hospital, when I'd unexpectedly run into her there with Edward. I was still mulling over my thoughts about Selena and Edward when my phone beeped, indicating a new email. I picked it up and checked the notification, my heart sinking as I read the message on the screen. It was from the hospital, and the contents of the email made my blood run cold. "Edward!" I cried out, my hand flying to my mouth to stifle the sob that escaped my lips. I bit my lower lip to keep from crying out in grief, but I could feel my body shaking. I had made the hospital send me updates about Edw

PEDROEdward: I hope you can tell her what you just told me. I hope you can find the courage to tell her everything. I hope you can stop blaming yourself for what happened. I know her - she has a golden heart and she will forgive you, not because of what happened, but because you kept the secret from her. I hope you can do it soon because she has a secret too - a golden one - and she's keeping it from you. I hope the two of you can find happiness.Tears well up my eyes and I slowly blinked them away. Had I known those were the last words of Edward to me, I wouldn't have left his side that day. I felt like shit. I felt like a fucking bastard. I felt disgusted with myself as I drove to Edward's apartment.“Fuck!” I banged my fist on the steering wheel, hoping I would drive a little faster so I could meet Selena. I went to the hospital but I was told Edward's body had been taken. After making sure Mitchell was okay, I left to look for Selena but she wasn't at her apartment.My gut told
