Back at the house, Felix saw Marianne packing her things as she's ready to leave the house. Marianne glanced up as Felix entered the room, surprise and concern etched across her face. The room, once a sanctuary of shared dreams and whispered promises, now stood as a silent witness to the fractures in their carefully constructed world. "Felix, I've been waiting for you," Marianne uttered and walked towards him. "I'm sorry, we've discussed some things about the-" "I know. So, where is it?" Marianne asked, but Felix seemed confused on what she was talking about. "What do you mean?" he asked in confusion. "The divorce papers," she uttered, and Felix just nod his head in realization. He walked towards his room and take out the envelope containing the divorce papers, handing them to Marianne with a heavy heart. Marianne took the envelope, her gaze fixed on Felix's face. The room felt charged with unspoken emotions, a silent acknowledgment of the tangled web they found themselves i
One month had passed since the painful exchange of divorce papers between Felix and Marianne. The Anderson mansion, once a witness to their intertwined lives, now bustled with a different energy—a frenetic preparation for the impending union of Felix and Charlotte. Charlotte was staring at Felix as he was just focused on reading an article on the living room of the Anderson mansion. A smiled formed on the corner of her lips, but deep inside she knows that Felix is just forced to do the wedding with her. "Hey, can I sit?" Felix looked up from the article, a brief flicker of surprise crossing his face before he nodded. "Sure, go ahead." Charlotte took a seat beside him, her eyes searching his face for any signs of the emotions he might be hiding. "Felix, thank you for doing this." Felix paused at reading and glanced up at her. "Doing what?" "The wedding. Thank you for doing it. I would never-" "Just don't talk about the wedding, Charlotte. I wanted to be alone right now, can I?"
Marianne stood at a discreet distance, hidden in the shadows of the night. Her presence at the wedding was a silent testament to the complex web of emotions that entangled her. She wanted to ensure that Felix was going through with the wedding for the right reasons, primarily for the safety of her mother. However, a part of her couldn't deny the ache of curiosity and a longing to witness the moment she had tried so hard to bury. As Felix's gaze met hers, a subtle tension passed between them. Marianne felt a mix of emotions—concern, regret, and an undeniable twinge of sadness. She knew that she had to stay hidden, observing from afar without interfering in the facade of Felix's new life. She looked away and started to walked away from the venue. As Marianne slipped into the shadows, Felix's gaze lingered on the spot where she had stood. The echoes of their shared history reverberated in the air, and a palpable tension clung to him as he continued to navigate the wedding celebration.
Felix arrived at the office, but he was surprised to see Marianne there. She bowed her head and greeted him, "Mr. Anderson, good morning." "What are you doing here?" "Can we talk inside your office?" he nods his head and they both went inside. Inside Felix's office, the air was heavy with the weight of unspoken words. Marianne took a deep breath, her eyes meeting Felix's with a mixture of determination and vulnerability. Marianne handed Felix a small white envelope. He looked at it with a frown and confusion. "What is this?" "Don't you remember? I worked here, and right now... we're divorced and you're married, I don't want to be a burden to your relationship with Ms. Charlotte. So, I am here to submit my resignation letter," she explained. Felix's eyes scanned the envelope, realization dawning on him as he took it from Marianne's hands. The weight of her words hung in the air, and a sense of loss crept over him. He opened the envelope and pulled out the neatly typed resignatio
Nate whispered words of comfort to Charlotte as he held her, understanding that the situation was far more complex than he initially thought. In the midst of the unexpected embrace, he couldn't help but wonder about the intricate web of relationships and emotions unraveling within the office. After a moment, Charlotte composed herself, pulling away from Nate. She wiped away her tears, offering a weak smile. "I'm so sorry for doing this, Nate. I just... I didn't expect things to be like this." Nate nodded understandingly, his gaze filled with empathy. "It's alright, Ms. Charlotte. Sometimes, life throws unexpected challenges at us. If you need someone to talk to or any assistance, I'm here for you." Charlotte appreciated Nate's support, and for a moment, she felt a sense of gratitude amid the chaos of her emotions. "Thank you, Nate. I appreciate it." Nate knocked on Felix's office door, the atmosphere inside still heavy with the lingering tension of earlier events. Felix looked up,
"Felix, what are you doing here?" Marianne repeated, but Felix's eyes were fixed onto her mother. He then walked towards her, feeling weak and helpless in the face of the situation. The room seemed to tighten around him as he stood there, grappling with the weight of his actions and the impact they had on Marianne and her mother. "I didn't know... I didn't know about your mother," Felix finally managed to say, his voice filled with genuine concern. Marianne looked at him, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. "Why would you? We're divorced, Felix. You have your own life now. And why do you even care about my mother? You haven't met her, and she didn't know you, so... what are you doing here? I... don't need you here." Those words hit Felix like a wave of reality crashing over him. He realized the depth of the separation that had occurred between them, not just legally but emotionally as well. The connection they once shared seemed like a distant memory, and he felt the weight of hi
"I'm sorry, Marianne," Felix whispered to himself, his heart heavy with remorse. As he turned to leave, he vowed silently to find a way to support Marianne and her mother, even if it meant doing so from a distance. The weight of his past actions clung to him like a shadow, pushing him to reflect on the choices that led to this moment.Meanwhile, Marianne composed herself, her resolve firming up as she faced the uncertain road ahead. She whispered comforting words to her unconscious mother, promising to be there through it all. The room, once filled with tension, now resonated with the quiet determination of a daughter determined to weather the storm. As days turned into nights in the hospital, Marianne juggled the complexities of her emotions — the wounds of a broken marriage, the guilt of decisions made, and the unyielding love for her ailing mother.On the other hand, as Ethel heard the news about Emma, she hurriedly went to the hospital to check on her.Ethel, Marianne's lifelong
In the midst of her emotional turmoil, Charlotte was pulled to a quiet seat by a weeping willow. The branches hung low, providing a protecting canopy as if nature could empathize with her distress. As she sat, the willow leaves above swayed rhythmically, echoing the tempo of her tears. Nate, who happened to be walking alone through the park, observed Charlotte from a distance. He grimaced as he approached her, "Mrs. Anderson?" Charlotte raised her head to see Nate again. He removed his jacket and carefully wrapped it around her shoulders, providing warmth and a soothing presence. "Are you okay?" Nate asked, his voice quiet and full of empathy. Charlotte, taken aback by the unexpected gesture, managed a slight nod, unable to find her voice. Nate sat next her, allowing her to be as open as she wanted. The park's beautiful aura appeared to wrap them in a bubble of peace, temporarily sheltering Charlotte from the chaos of her life. "I'm not one to pry, but you seem like you could use
