IvannaThea getting involved with Christian at work is the most unexpected thing for me. I have already started having weird vibes. But I can't let Christian know about this. I don't want him to think I'm insecure or I'm being unreasonable. I won't do any such thing which gradually makes him annoyed by me. I gulp down and drop my gaze. "Emily said not to hire her. So, they just got into an argument", Christian says. I don't know how to reply to this. Why am I feeling this way? I should not. I should never. I know how much he loves me then why such insecurity is killing me this way? Thea is married too. She has kids. Why would she even do anything wrong? Undoubtedly, I'm being way too unreasonable. I need to fix my head anyway. Christian clears his throat, bringing me out of my thoughts. I squirm on his lap and pull a small smile. "Emily is crazy", I laugh. "This is not a thing to argue over""Well, an argument between them means she was shouting at him. One-Sided", I roll my eyes
IvannaAfter preparing lunch for everyone, I come into the room and find Emily reading Chrisanna and Eric Harry Potter. All three are inside the blanket, digging their faces into that single book. The scenario is quite funny and cute at the same time. I chuckle walking inside.They still haven't noticed me. "Are you guys gonna finish this whole series today?" I ask with a giggle. They all lift their heads exactly at the same moment. Emily enlarges her eyes right away. "Ugh! No. My jaw already hurts", she touches her cheek. "Then try to fight less", I laugh. She curls up a dirty look and slams the book shut. "Emmy! More", Eric shakes her. "Yes. More", Chrisanna jumps on the bed, pushing her knees. "Lord! I really can't anymore because I'm sick of reading this for years. Go—" she slams the book into Eric's hand. "Um— ask Kane to read you""But he doesn't like to read", Chrisanna makes a disappointed face. "Then annoy him until he agrees to read you. Huh? You both can't do such s
Christian I could see how stressed out she was. But she won't tell me like always. I drift my eyes back at Emily. "Did she say something to you?" I ask."Not something. Many things", she sighs. "I know you're more focused on Chrisanna now but it won't be good to delay with Ivanna. Take her to a councillor as soon as possible. Before she kills herself with so much negativity"Her harsh words give a rise to my anticipation. I can't even figure out what the fuck is going on. I don't wanna lose her. I clutch my hair tightly, inhaling and exhaling deeply. "Is there anything I can do for this?" I ask her. "Did she say something which made you feel like I can change them to make her feel better?"Emily gets off the bed."Trust me. You can't. In fact, you should not. You're already doing enough. Yet, she's getting herself into such things. There's a limit to giving efforts, Christian. You can't do everything for her. This time she has to do something for herself", she says."I know", I sha
Christian"Find her biological parents"This is not what I exactly wanted to hear. Stunned and unable to utter the next work, I gape at Kane. He drops his gaze and sighs, letting me process the thing. I can barely gulp down and breathe, thinking about the outcomes. "I know. You won't want her biological parents to enter the scenario, Christian", he adds after a long pause. "But I think it'll be an easier and the fastest way to save Chrisanna. Among seven billion people, how will you find a match for her bone marrow transplant? Doctors said that there is a 99% chance that any of the parents can be her donor"I nod. "I know that well, Kane. But where am I gonna find her parents? Why will they even try to save her when they were the ones to leave her?""The decision is up to you. We have ways to find her parents. That won't be a big deal if we try. It's just that you'll need to be prepared to tackle the situation", he tells me. My phone beeps again with Ivanna's message. This is the te

Ivanna Striding between the rows of shelves, I scan through all the books. It's been a long time since I got new ones. Honestly, I don't find the time for reading anymore."What about this one?" Christian grabs a copy of 'IT ENDS WITH US "Do you think I haven't read it yet?" I chuckle. "It's my favourite one. I told you already"Twitching his lips, he puts it back on the shelf. "You have so many favourites''"Not among people", I tilt my head back at him, whispering. "You're my favourite"Leaning toward him and going on my tiptoes, I give him a quick kiss on his lips. A small smile crosses his face that I can see in the shady lights due to the rows of shelves all around.I leave that section and walk toward another section. "Mrs Scott, you have crossed your favourite section", he tells me from behind. "Romance"I turn around and take a look at those. "They don't feel the same anymore", I tell him. He immediately frowns in confusion. "So, you got bored with ROMANCE?""No. But there
IvannaChristian is looking at me with the same anticipation and uncertainty that I'm feeling right now. We halt looking into each other's eyes. It takes me a while to process the whole thing.Did he just talk about finding Chrissie's real—?No!"We're her parents, Chris", I shrug. "I don't even wanna justify others being her parents just with that 'biological' tag. You know that"I look away."I know. I know that really well, Iv", he tells me. "And trust me calling them her biological parents won't change anything. It's just a formality. And—" he stops midway. I tilt my head back at him, anticipated. Why am I always too quick to react? He's dropping his head, his eyes darting on the concrete street beneath, calm and frozen. His throat shakes as if he's gulping down more frequently while clasping his hands together. Tighter and harder. The veins all over his arms are stiffening as he tightens the grip of his hands more and more. I drift closer to him, shoving the boxes aside betwee
ChristianAs Kane suggested, there's no way to find those people anywhere. Chrisanna isn't American by birth. We just knew that by her features. Her eyes, her face structures and her skin tone— everything was quite different from Americans. We could survey people from other countries staying in Texas but that wouldn't help much. Anyone can come here from anywhere and leave her over here. That person who left her may not have the nationality either. They might have moved back or something. Dang!It's definitely not gonna be easy. I smash my fist on the steering wheel, throwing my head back to the driving seat. It's only been a few hours since we started the process to find out those people and I'm already frustrated as hell. It takes Kane just a couple of hours to get every fucking information. Only when we know who the person is. At least, the name. We don't have it now. I have dropped Ivanna off back at her work. She didn't look much okay with this and I can understand her fear.
