Walking out of the station, Cillian threw a glance at Bellatrix by his side.

“Satisfied now?”

Her expression remained neutral, but there was a slight tug at the edge of her lip. She adjusted Charlie, who was now in her arm, to the other side, before throwing a glance his way.

“Ever heard of closure?”

The question was unexpected, but it made Cillian frown. Closure? She needed closure from Damien for what?

That was a question only Bellatrix could answer.

Cillian, feeling a bit insecure about once again being left in the dark about matters concerning her and most annoyingly, Damien, felt his eyes twitch.

It was a slight discomfort, something that anyone else would have missed, but Bellatrix saw it.

All it took was one glance at him and she chuckled under her breath.

“You needed it,” she said, answering the question that lingered in the air.

His eyes snapped towards her and she repeated.

“You needed closure. Siblings and stuff,” she sighed dramatically, scrunching up her nose at the unple

    The day that followed were spent preparing for Charlie's long Awaited surgery. On the night before the surgery, Bellatrix stood beside Charlie's bed, with Cillian at her side.They both stared down at him with gazes of adoring parents.After a while, Cillian broke the silence."He's a strong kid."Bellatrix nodded in agreement, her hands coming up to hug herself."He is."Cillian noticed the action, but chose not to comment on it."Bella, he'll be fine." He reassured, taking her hand in his.Her eyes flickered to him and for a moment, she looked like she wanted to pull her hand away, but ultimately didn't."I know," she finally managed. "But, I can't help feeling nervous. What if something goes wrong?""Then we'll find a solution. As long as he's alive, we can find a solution."Those words weren't directed to her, but rather to himself.He needed reassurance. He was just as worried as her.Bellatrix sensed that, and she couldn't help the smile that spread across her features."We've b

    The clouds wept.As if to celebrate their reconciliation, the moment Bellatrix and Cillian returned to the main house, it started raining.They joined Elise and Joel in the tearoom, just as discussed earlier, for tea. And by the time they were wrapping up, it was still raining.So, after exchanging glances, one which Bellatrix didn't fail to notice between Elise and her father, the former suggested.“Cillian, it looks like it's going to be raining for a while. Why don't you tough it out here?”Bellatrix nearly choked on her tea. That was the most shameless method of telling someone to stay over for the night.And here her mother was, SHAMELESSLY doing it.“Ellie is right,” her father joined in. His inclusion made her completely ignore the nickname she promised to tease them all about one of these days. “It's raining cats and dogs out there, it would be hard to get home like this. Stay in the guest room.”“Dad–” she wanted to object, then her father added.“Charlie would feel at ease t

    The soft atmosphere of the garden pressed down on Bellatrix's chest as she walked in.Behind her, Cillian trailed like a loyal puppy, the heat of his stare causing her stomach to stir.At last, she stopped in the center of the garden, sheltered from the sun creeping in by a cherry blossom tree, and turned to face him.“What you must have to say must be pretty important for you to stare so hard. Wanna burn a hole straight through me?”His lips quirked upwards, a faint smile polishing his features.“I apologize–”“Stop apologizing. It makes me feel like I'm bullying you all the time,” she muttered and released a heavy sigh.A second of silence stretched between them before she turned around, scanning the garden as she spoke.“You don't actually have anything to say, do you?”Cillian tensed behind her, briefly, then he smiled softly. He wouldn't put it past her to notice.“Father and mother's conspiracy?” She threw a glance over her shoulder and was met with a smile that answered her que

  • After Divorce, I Became The Ex-husband's True Love   Chapter 275 How Laughable.

    Cillian blinked once, then frowned at her.“Bella.”His ever soft tone remained, but there was a note of warning in it. Bellatrix met his gaze for a second, sending him a sign to calm down as she turned back to Charlie.He thought to protest, but just as he parted his lips, Charlie shook in his arms, eyes carrying that one sparkle he was growing to adore.“R-really?” His voice sounded just as excited. Bellatrix however, didn't look as excited.If anything, she looked like she was battling with herself for the suggestion she'd just made.That was something unusual.The Bellatrix he knew, the one that grew him in like a magnet, wasn't someone who doubted her decisions.Yet, here she was and something about this opened Cillian's eyes to get another revelation.She was doing this for him, wasn't she?His eyes softened and the words of protest glided down his throat, disappearing before it had the chance to slip past his lips.“Can we?” Charlie quipped.Bellatrix nodded, though her movemen
