BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 27: WAIT A LITTLE LONGER
Chelsea’s POV“What’s with the frowning early in the morning?” Dad asked.“Since when did you come here?” I asked in surprise.“Just now and that face welcomed me. Anything bothering you?”He sits next to me. I took a sigh before saying anything.“Not a big deal Dad. It’s my problem” I simply replied.When they decided to live somewhere closer to their work, I was left there and I felt disconnected from them that I couldn’t cry or nag at them when things messed up. It was Dale who fulfilled that role for me.“Is it about the marriage?”“Huh?”I was surprised that Dad seemed to read what was going on inside my mind. I don’t have reason to deny that to him though.“I’m just overwhelmed with everything”“I’m sorry, my princess”I look at Dad and he’s giving an apologetic reaction.“I want to help you. This is the least I can do”“Come here”She wraps her arm around me so I dig myself close to him leaning on his chest while his chin rests on my head. I miss the feeling of being babied by
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 28: BECAUSE OF ME
Chelsea’s POV“Dad?” I was stunned to see Dad standing close to us. He’s looking straight at me and I couldn’t explain the reaction on his face.I turned back to Dale and asked him to leave us and come back the other time. I can see that he was hesitant but he just left. I walk close to Dad while he’s not moving at all.“Let’s talk inside” he coldly stated.I followed him to the living room and sat and asked me to do the same.“Why didn’t you tell me?” he seriously asked.I bit my lower lip because I couldn’t give him an answer. I feel guilty and disappointed that he has to know about it that way.“Do you ever plan to tell us?”At this point, Dad’s voice intensifies. I know that he wants to hear an answer from me. I turned fragile and at any moment I knew that my tears would gradually fall.“Chelsea! Are you even listening?!” Dad suddenly yelled at me.I was surprised and that triggered my tears to finally fall instantly. I could only cry in front of him but I couldn’
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 29: WORST DAY
Dale’s POV[KNOCKING] I ran to the door and hurriedly opened it thinking that Chelsea had come back but I was wrong.“Stacey, what are you doing here?” I directly asked.I thought it was Chelsea.“Are you drinking?” she asked after her sight went through the dining where cans of beer were scattered.“Uhm… yes I was”“With whom?”“I’m with myse---”“I saw Chelsea leaving. Is she from here?”“Y-yes…”“Are you not going to let me in?”“Yeah, sure come in”I don’t have a choice but to let her in and tell her an alibi why Chelsea was here.“She needed a friend to talk to because she’s… heartbroken”That was such a lame reason! I couldn’t think of any reason to say. I haven’t even anticipated this situation.“Heartbroken? Does she have a new boyfriend? His fiancée just died…”I suddenly realized that it was the reason to tell.“I guess she’s dating… new people to forget about his fiancée”“It must be hard for her. Is she okay?” she casually asked.“Yeah. I guess”“You’re good wit
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 30: END OF PROPOSAL
Chelsea’s POV“Dad? Mom?”I saw them on the couch as I opened my eyes. I looked around and looked for Ken but he wasn’t there. Was I hallucinating last night? I heard his voice before I passed out but I didn’t see his face. Was that someone else that I mistakenly thought to be Ken? It feels so real.“Chels”They, especially Mom, worriedly came close to me and held both of my hands. “Did you happen to see… ken?”“Who… no one was here when we arrived. We just received a text message last night that you are here so we rushed to come”“Hm”I wasn’t thinking of him but why would I hallucinate of him? Somehow, I was hoping that it was actually him.“Are you feeling something? Are you okay?” she asked.I faintly smile at her and shake my head to say that I’m okay. I was surprised when Mom suddenly burst out in front of me.“Why didn’t you *sobs* tell us?”I looked at Dad and I got the signal that he already told Mom about it. Mom is whining on my side while I watch her and wait until she ca
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 31: BETRAYAL?
Chelsea’s POV“Marry me, Ken”He must have been startled when I kissed him. Even though I couldn’t completely comprehend what pushed me to kiss him all I knew at that moment, I found someone who would risk it all for me and that assures me.“A-are you s-serious?”I slightly giggled after seeing him caught off guard.“I don’t know what the future holds but you are right, now that I have a chance to choose, I’ll use that chance”“Is that your answer?”“I want to know one more thing…”“What is it?”“This decision might ruin you, are you sure you wouldn’t regret this?”“If being ruined means saving you… then I wouldn’t regret it”“Later on, I might end up feeling guilty and responsible for whatever unpleasant that might happen to you, what should I do then?”“When that time comes, I want you to be honest with me regarding your feelings and openly tell me about it”“What if I ended up dying?”“At that point… I’ll continue loving you… then and eternally”He never failed to amuse me with his
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 32: FACE THE PAIN
Ken’s POVI’m on my way home and surely none of them knew that I was here. I rushed to come back since no one of them planned to tell me what was happening. The truth is, they never told me that the partnership was canceled. I just accidentally found out through our family lawyers and I don’t want to tell Chelsea about that to keep her from overthinking and blaming herself after I went this far just for her sake.In the end, I’m glad that she made up her mind and decided to accept my proposal. I wanted to burst out in happiness that finally she didn’t reject me and the fact that were getting married, how nice would that be? to be marrying the girl that you’re in love with but in the end, I realized that this would be all business and I will be contended to be doing this to help her and her family.I arrived home and the first one I see is Adrian. He’s outside and obviously, he’s waiting for me.“What are you doing here?”He’s at my house, not at our house.“Someone’s waiting for you i
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 33: DEAL
Chelsea’s POV“I heard about what happened between you and your father. Are you okay?”Ken looked at me and smiled after a few seconds.“I expected that reaction from him”“It must be hard for you”I wanted to stop feeling guilty but I couldn’t disregard that feeling.“I believe that he’ll soon accept my decision. He just needs time”“Okay”I had never been awkward around him until the night that I agreed to accept his help just because I kept recalling the moment when I impulsively kissed him.“By the way I working on everything now and about the wedding I got everything---”“About that… I have something to say”“What is it?”I know him well. I am sure he’ll make this big and I don’t want him to do that. He already done enough for me.“Can we make it simple and intimate? A civil wedding will do for me”“But---”“And I want to take charge of it since you’ve done enough already”“Are you sure? I already had a venue and hired an event organizer”“Actually… I wanted to hold the venue at
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 34: PREPARATIONS
Chelsea’s POV“Dad, can you drive a little faster? I’m late with my appointment”I have been complaining about how slow Dad is driving but he wouldn’t listen and keeps on saying…“Safety is very important”I wonder if he also drives like this when he’s alone. I decided not to talk and let him drive.“That kid amazes me…”“Who?”“Ken… the way he makes his decisions reminds me so much of Dale”“You think I made the right decision?”“Only you can answer that”“What do you think Dale would feel that I am getting married?”“Dale, he’s kind and very understanding. He’ll get hurt but he’s not the type who’ll hold grudges against someone”“You think so?”“More than anyone else, you know him very well”Somehow, I was relieved to get those assurances from Dad.[SIGH]“We're here”I drown in my thoughts that I didn’t notice we’d arrived at the meeting place. I rushed to get out of the car.“Bye, Dad! See you at home later. Drive safely”I hurriedly went in and found the person I was about to mee
