Paulo pouted at her even more. Yanna pulls him to her body and kisses him on his pouted lips. "Noah is surely looking for me," Yanna whispers. "Tsk, when will you even leave that loser?" Paulo asked. Getting grumpy with Noah, whom he shares his lover with. It has been over seven years since Noah gets into the picture of his fantasies with Yanna. If not for him studying abroad at that time, Yanna would not have met Noah in the States. She would never have the idea of liking the man whom her twin likes. Yanna knew that Averill liked Noah... she would not have waited for him then if it was not that. When Averill was found outside their mansion, Yanna felt like her world was crumbling once more. Yanna thought she finally got rid of the annoying sister of hers whom everyone adored because of her beauty and talent... Yanna did everything to get their parents' attention... everyone's attention around them. But, her eldest brother, Allen, never falls within her schemes and always adores A
"That aside, let's talk about the scandal. Your son did a huge hit on his cousin." Ken remarked. "Shouldn't it be Kieffer who needs to be angry here? Why the hell did Noah do all that?" Nicolas felt a sudden urge of disappointment now. He knows his son isn't involved since they talked to him already. And Kieffer cheated with Averill! "He cheated, Ken," "Hah! Do you think my son will do something as foolish as that? And says who? Noah? He's been cheating with Yanna too! You think I wouldn't know?" Ken feels agitated. It really pisses him off that Noah keeps claiming those nonsense remarks. "I don't know what's with you, Ken, but I'm done with this bullshit. My son has a reputation to keep, and your son ruined it!" "SO AS MY SON, DUMBASS!!" Ken rarely shouts, and if he does, that means he's really mad. He lost his wife when Kieffer was born, making him cherish him more than anything else. Thus, when Kieffer told him about Yanna, he accepted it all. Though he refused to meet the wo
"What? Why? Going on a vacation?" Ken asked. Averill simply smiled at him and sighed. She went silent for a while. Averill then nodded her head. "Yep, I think the air in our city's suffocating me. I wanna freshen up for a while in America," she told them. The three of them stared at each other for a while. They were all hoping for the young couple to fix things between them, but it seems like Averill is thinking about different things. "Did you talk it out with Noah?" Averill froze for a while and held her arm. Averill smiled and shook her head, "I haven't. It has been weeks since I last talked to him," "WHAT?" Ken shouted, feeling utterly disappointed with his own nephew. The least he could do for his wife is to talk to her, even for some time, but the man seems uninterested in Averill after their son dies. It was already nightfall before the four of them could even realize it. They were talking for so long about things, or more like, the three adults were telling Averill stories
Averill looked at her phone, and Noah did not even let her speak. 'What does he want to talk about?' "Ma'am, you haven't even had your breakfast yet," Lola, a maid who got a little closer to Avi this past month approached her. Averill currently holding a bottle of whiskey. Averill stared at the bottle in his hand and smiled at Lola. She gave it to her, "Prepare luncheon; I'll be having it with my husband," Averill told Lola. The latter had her eyes sparkled upon hearing that. It has been over a month since Averill stayed here, but not even Noah's shadow showed up. Averill went upstairs to wash up her body. She stayed there for a while, staring at her reflection in the mirror, with the showers of water flowing on her face... When she finished bathing herself, she went on her way to get some bandaids. She then wore a black sweater and went downstairs. She had been in the bathroom for a whole hour, and Noah arrived even faster than she expected. "You have the urge to make me wait."
Averill feels like her stomach will explode, and her head keeps ringing like crazy. She wants to vomit everything she ate, but Noah's still here. When she thinks she's at her limit, Averill stands up, and Noah is startled by that. "Excuse me," Averill ran as fast as she could upstairs and went straight to the bathroom to puke. She did not know that Noah followed her and watched her suffer like that. Noah scoffed, "So you were forcing yourself. To what? Impress me? Bullshit Averill. You should have told me you couldn't finish it all. Such a waste of food, tsk." Noah walked away, leaving Averill. 'Shit, I'm experiencing anorexia again,' she wiped her tears. She thought she was cured over the years, but now... she's having the symptoms again. The last time she experienced such hell was when she was in her teens. Averill snapped when Allen died but overcame it through the years. "Why?" she cried, staying on the floor. She's starting to hear voices again, mocking her... blaming her.
I looked at Shiloah, who was nervously drinking his iced coffee. He occasionally looks in my direction like a puppy who's about to cry. I cannot really blame him. I'm sure he's quite busy with his research that he does not have any time to have info about the outside world. I just can't believe he missed my wedding. A remarkable wedding I held by myself since Noah went to Yanna's rescue. I sigh and look at Noah, who's glaring at Shiloah and me. I don't know what grounds he's holding this suffocating lunch. "Ehem, so..." Noah smiled at Shiloah, but his eyes said otherwise. He looks like he could kill him with his glares. "Y-yes, yes?!" Shiloah gulped a few times and looked at me, asking for help. "Noah—" "What is your relationship with my wife?" I almost slapped my own forehead when he emphasized that word again. What the hell is wrong with him? Is he really acknowledging me as his wife, or he's simply playing with me right now? Damn it, Noah. Stop giving me false hope. "I—I ah
Averill's POV What? Do I hear things wrong? Why? Why the hell did she do that? To hate me? To ridicule me? I received a lot of resentment because of that... and, she, she cried because of that night. She was hurt, wasn't she? Yanna was... I blamed myself countless times every night, thinking that I had ruined her relationship with Noah. I drowned myself with guilt every day, hating myself for being happy that Noah married me. I, I... and Noah knew? Noah knew but never told me everything? Why? Because he loves Yanna and does not give a damn about me? Then what about Damien? "She doesn't know that I knew about it. I think there's some sort of mistake," Noah is still defending you even now, Yanna. How lovely your man is. Noah... I want to cry right now, but tears aren't forming in my eyes. I smiled at Noah, his lips parted, looking confused as to why I was reacting this way. "Should I thank her then?" "What?" "I should thank Yanna. If not for her, then... you wouldn't have been
When Averill went down the stairs, she saw Noah, who was currently having his breakfast in the lounging area near the pool. He pleasantly took a sip in his cup of coffee while turning the newspaper he was currently reading. Noah looked relaxed in that look, and Averill could only watch him from afar. "I will not disappear, so do not stick your eyes on me like that," Averill was surprised when Noah suddenly said that. So he noticed her watching him the whole time? Noah looked at her embarrassed face, but no emotion could be read on his face. Averill sat across him and asked a servant for a cup of hot cocoa. Averill watched the trees near the pool instead of the man in front of her. She was planning to continue observing him, but now that he knew she was looking, Averill could not do it. "Where have you been yesterday?" Noah asked without looking at her. He's still reading through the newspaper, but half his mind is waiting for Averill to reply. "I was with Shiloah," "Aren't you
