“Valerie, please. Don’t shut me out. Just let me explain.” I pleaded, my tone desperate.
“Explain?” She asked with a bitter laugh. “You want to make me understand why you slept with my sister or how you had a child with her and hid him from me? Which one do you want to talk about?” Her voice trembled.
The guilt was eating me alive.
I messed up.
“You’re still at your mom’s place, right? I’m coming to meet you.”
Without hesitation, she responded. “Don’t come here. I don’t want to see you. Not now. Not ever.”
“I’m on my way,” I replied, ignoring her statement.
Then I hung up the call and reversed the car.
I couldn’t just accept her decision. I had to fix it.
On my way to her mom’s house, I got a call from Jessica.
Frustrated, I answered the call. “What do you what?”
Jessica chuckled softly. “You sound annoyed. Did my sister call you already? To tell you how much she hates you?”
“Did she hear it from you? Were you the one who told her about Noah?”
