Chapter 18

ผู้เขียน: Kitty June
Holding the doll, Celeste pretended she hadn't heard James' request. She simply said, "Let's go, Mom."

"I'll drive you home," James said.

"No, thanks. We'll call a taxi," Naomi said, refusing his offer.

James didn't force the matter. He merely watched as they walked out the door.

The next morning, James appeared in the hotel lobby. He was holding a bouquet of flowers and some pastries, waiting for Naomi and Celeste.

"Good morning. Do you have some time today? Let's go out for a meal."

"Sorry, we're busy," Naomi said, turning him down. Taking Celeste's hand, she walked away.

Still, James didn't force them into agreeing. He simply stood there, gazing at their retreating backs. He knew very well that Naomi wouldn't forgive him so easily.

Yet, he didn't lose hope, nor did he give up.

Every day, he would wait for Naomi and Celeste at their hotel.

Each day, he brought something different. He firmly believed that there was something that they were bound to like.

  • Buried and Forgotten   Chapter 21

    Naomi stayed by James' side the entire time, and Celeste also refused to leave. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. Yet, James showed no signs of waking up."Mom, why isn't Dad waking up?" Celeste had been crying the past few days. Her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were red and swollen.Naomi's heart ached for her. She placed a cold towel on Celeste's eyes and said, "He will wake up.""Mom, I'm scared. I don't want Dad to die."Naomi grew choked up. "James, if you don't wake up, we'll never forgive you!"As he lay in bed, James' fingers twitched. His eyes began to move, and he finally opened them with difficulty. He croaked, "Naomi, Celeste…""Mom, Dad's awake!" Growing emotional, Celeste ran toward James. With a surprised yet overjoyed expression, she looked at him and called, "Dad!""I'm sorry for making you worry.""No, we should be thanking you instead. Thank you for saving us," Naomi said with tears in her eyes, suppressing her emotions.James smiled but found

    Naomi hugged Celeste tightly, panicking. Her heart felt like it was going to leap out of her chest."Let us go, or else we'll kill the mother, then the child," threatened one of the robbers.Naomi felt a chill against her neck as the knife sliced her skin. She winced in pain."Let them go, and take me as the hostage instead!" James roared angrily as he walked over. He stood behind them and said, "I am the CEO of Hudson Group. I can bring you out of here."The robbers weren't fools. It was difficult to subdue an adult man, so they rejected James' offer.James picked up a stone and smashed it against his right hand. There was an audible sound of bone shattering, and his face instantly paled."My right hand is broken, so I won't be able to fight back. If you still feel uneasy, I can break my left arm too. Let them go, and take me as a hostage.""Mr. James…" Celeste muttered quietly, tears spilling from her eyes. "Mr. James is hurt."When Naomi saw James break his hand, her heart a

    "What are you thinking about, Naomi?" When James turned around, he found Naomi staring blankly at him. "Did I do something wrong?""No. Thank you for today. Celeste was very happy." Shaking her head, Naomi walked him to the door. "It's getting late. Be careful on your way home."James stopped the door from closing. "Naomi, I am Celeste's father. I should be taking care of her. I know I was an asshole before, but I'm trying very hard to change.""I know," Naomi replied indifferently. She could see that James was really doing his best to treat Celeste well."Naomi, won't you give me one more chance?" James' smoldering gaze was fixed on her. There was a loving look in his teary eyes.Besides the day he became paralyzed after the car accident, she had never seen him cry before. The way he looked right now moved her.Unfortunately, what had happened couldn't be undone."Mr. Hudson, I don't need this chance. I won't stop you from being nice to Celeste, but whatever was between us is a

    "Naomi, why don't you keep Celeste company? The food will be ready soon," James said giddily. He had dreamed of this moment countless times, and it had finally become reality.Celeste unwrapped the presents happily. There were all kinds of gifts—dolls, books, blocks, and even virtual pets.As Naomi watched Celeste, a wave of bitterness washed over her. Why did he only appreciate them after he lost them?"It's time to eat." After James placed the final plate down, he took off his apron and called Celeste to the table.Celeste was drenched in sweat, and her hands were stained with a variety of colors. He first took her to wash her hands, then helped her to dry them. Afterward, he held her hand and brought her back to the table."I'm such an inadequate husband and father. I don't even know what you two like to eat, so I just made a simple meal." Overcome with regret, James shot Naomi a careful glance.He had grilled some black pepper pork and chicken wings. To complement those dishe

    "Sorry, I need to go on stage soon." Without giving an answer, Naomi walked around James and walked onto the stage.As the representative of her company, she introduced their new product. Her movements were graceful and polished, and she spoke professionally and confidently.A wave of regret washed over James as he watched Naomi shine brightly. She had been so brilliant all along.His heart, which had been silent for so long, pounded wildly. His eyes trailed after Naomi, unwilling to look away from her for even a moment.He wasn't going to give up. He was going to get his wife and daughter back."Thank you, everyone. If you have any questions, you can reach out to me in private." With that, Naomi ended her presentation. Then, she left the stage.Celeste ran toward her. Naomi took Celeste's hand as she engaged in small talk with the people who approached her.James stood off to the side quietly, not daring to go up and bother her. When Naomi and Celeste were finally alone, he plu
