All Chapters of Somebody That You Loved: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Years ago, Mea's departure brought a sense of relief, even though Benjamin often felt her absence. Still, that feeling was somewhat alleviated because they remained connected through phone calls and messages.Being childhood friends had made Benjamin and Mea’s relationship resemble that of siblings. Neighbors frequently asked Benjamin about Mea’s well-being even after she moved away, as though they instinctively knew the two would always stay in touch.Hot summer days used to be spent by Benjamin and Mea at one of their houses, enjoying ice cream together. After Mea left, Benjamin faced summer days alone in his home. Jenna repeatedly invited him to join her and her siblings at the backyard pool to cool off, but Benjamin stayed in his room all morning, engrossed in messaging Mea via his computer.They endlessly discussed Mea’s new neighborhood: the bakery she mentioned for the thirtieth time, the routes around her new home that became a recurring topic after school, and even her lunch

Bonita had been cycling around the city for over three hours using a borrowed bicycle from one of Edith’s employees, where Edith’s butcher and fish shop was located. At the time, Edith was busy at her shop, hosting two marketing representatives from a major company who were pitching a business collaboration.Bonita explored various bookstores, bakeries, ice cream parlors, and clothing shops. Her stomach was full from all the snacks she indulged in, and her heart felt slightly lightened. It had been a long time since she had wandered alone, though it felt odd. This would have been much more enjoyable if she were with Velica.Sitting at a countryside-themed café, Bonita ordered a cup of coffee and started reading a newly purchased book. The sunlight streaming through the nearby window illuminated her, making her stand out. Several men attempted to strike up conversations, but she politely dismissed them with a friendly smile and a few courteous words.Just as she turned the page, her ey

Bonita's body plunged into the swimming pool. Her vision blurred as bubbles suddenly surrounded her, but her body instinctively sought to float. "What are you doing?"Jeremy shouted back, his face flushed with anger. "That's what I should be asking you! What are you doing? Your wedding is about to—""Stop it," Nolan interrupted sternly. "Can't you both calm down?"Jeremy turned to Nolan, ready to protest, but his words caught in his throat when he noticed Edith's presence. He hadn’t realized she was there, watching from the living room as Bonita strolled in earlier with a casual air, as if returning from a vacation."Hi, Jeremy," Edith greeted softly, her face tinged with sadness and longing for her eldest child.Jeremy glared at Bonita, pointing accusingly. "Why did you bring her here? I agreed to let her come to your wedding, but I never said she could enter this house again!""Oh, come on. She’s our mom. I couldn’t let her stay in a hotel," Bonita said, dripping wet as she climbed

It was late at night when everyone who needed an invitation received their cards, except for a handful of people. Bonita decided to deliver the remaining cards to the guests the next day, as her body was nearly numb with exhaustion.She stopped by the bridal shop, which had already closed, to pick up three dresses, two suits, and various sewing tools and extra materials. Then, she booked a hotel room as a temporary storage space for the items before heading home.The house was quiet when she stepped out of her car. For a moment, she almost thought she had entered the wrong home, but the unique architectural design reassured her as she walked further in. Melissa was chatting with Edith in the living room over a pile of photo albums on the table, while Jeremy and Nolan were nowhere to be seen.“You two seem to be having fun,” Bonita remarked, sitting down beside Edith. “Where’s Jeremy?”“He is locked himself in his room ever since you two argued,” Melissa replied with a serious expressi

Two suitcases and Bonita’s favorite bags had been moved to the hotel room, along with two dresses and two suits retrieved from the bridal shop before it opened. Edith’s dress was completed in the afternoon, while Nolan’s suit required only minor adjustments, taking just an hour and a half. Her wedding gown and Benjamin’s suit were intentionally left untouched inside their garment bags.Bonita packed up dresses and suits, along with her tools, mannequins, and materials from the bridal shop as she left the hotel. She spent the day driving around town, delivering the remaining wedding invitations. After a solitary dinner at a café, she headed to Velica’s apartment. Her best friend was stunned to see the bridesmaid dress looking quite different from the last fitting at the bridal shop the previous week.“Are you sure this matches your wedding gown?” Velica asked suspiciously.“No, it doesn’t. But it’ll pair perfectly with another dress.”“What do you mean?”Bonita held Velica’s hands tigh
