LOGINRUBYI would admit something. When I took Laura's invitation, the possibility she would invite more people didn't cross my mind. I was too happy for her that all I could think was to be part of the party and celebrate it.Only when we accidentally met Meredith and she told that she would also attend to Laura's party did I realize there could be more. So I had no other choices except to prepare myself to meet and introduce our little family to them, which meant more people would learn about my and Austin's existence in Logan's family.It was a matter of time, though. Sooner or later I would face them."There. Two. One."My mind snapped to the present at the excitement emitting from Kevin and Laura's guests. They were counting for the important show. Revealing the gender.There was a big cake--not as big as a wedding cake--which contained the secret and Kevin and Laura were slicing it. Meanwhile, the guests were anticipating for the answer. What could it be? A boy or a girl?Soon, all t
WYATT"Yes. We're a couple, but not yet married."I would admit that I was startled to hear Ruby's words in replying Meredith at our unexpected encounter. She said it, preceeding me to take an initiative, even without we discussed such a situation before. It happened suddenly, so did her reaction.And what amazed me mere was she and Meredith carried on with their conversation, including introducting Austin to her, of course, as our son. Ruby and I, even though she didn't state it clearly since Austin was among us.Therefore, on the night after I sent Austin to sleep, I made an inquiry about it."You surprised me, love." I uttered as soon as her figure appeared from the bathroom.Ruby's brows furrowed as she walked to the bed. "What do you mean?""Meredith." I mentioned the name, whom she acknowledged immediately. "I didn't expect our encounter, especially seeing you talk to her casually."She took the space beside me, tucking herself under the blanket. "I also didn't expect to meet he
RUBYWyatt insisted to buy me a new dress for the party. It was for us, actually, since he wanted us to come in sync. And us meant Wyatt, Austin, and me.Of course, we would come in full set.Therefore, he drove us to the mall the next afternoon, visiting a well-known boutique.I opened the curtain after I was done looking at reflection. It was the second dress and seemed better on me than the previous one. So I had a confidence to face the people waiting for me outside.Wyatt and Austin.Who else?"What do you think?" I swirled around to give him a better view. Well, it came out automatically as if it was a template whenever I was trying on new clothes.Wyatt was having conversating with our son when I stole his attention. His stare bore into me like scanning me inside out, and he stayed like that for half a minute until Austin beat him to answer my question."You look beautiful, Mommy." And he also showed it through his expression. His clear blue eyes was fixated on me."Yes. You're
WYATTI hurried my steps out of the elevator as soon as the door opened, taking a right turn and arriving at my office in less than a minute."Dad." I called Dad, brows furrowing in confusion. I clearly didn't expect him to appear in my office, even though he often came to visit. But I had predicted it would be someone else. "I thought Ron mentioned someone else, not you." I glanced at my assistant, who was also present here and not accompanying me in the meeting.I had sent him to my office after he got a report from receptionist that I had a guest. So we decided to meet him and I carried on with the meeting.However, my guest should be..."You mean Alex?" Dad responded, leaning his back on the sofa before looking at me. "We had a pretty interesting discussion. But he's no longer here."Yes. My guest should have been Alex Foster, not Dad. That was why I was surprised to see him here."When you arrived, Dad?" I asked, legs swaying to the sofa across Dad."Before Alex came in."I copie
RUBYI opened the door to Austin's room only to close it again a minute later. Wyatt and our son were having a fun reading time, and I though it was better for me not interrupting them. Not that I avoided a quality time with the tree of us. I just wanted that time to theirs because I knew a father and a son needed to create their bonds. I had enough, so it was Wyatt's turn.Therefore, I decided to find my own fun by reading a novel we bought together. Well, just remembering that moment already made me chuckle. Boring books. How could Austin come up with the term?Unfortunately, those boring books were my fun. I love reading stories as it felt like pulling me into a new world. Because of that, I often found it refreshing after finishing a book, even though sometimes I would be devastated by their tragedy.And this novel, I hoped, could be a refreshment, although I doubted it. I had read the blurb and it seemed a complipated story.I enjoyed my own company, reading the novel while havin
TINA"Get out! I'm sick too see your face!" The words roared around the room, jolting me in my place. "Get out!"My eyes rounded in disbelief at what I just heard. My father threw me out as if I was a trash he needed to get rid off as quickly as possible.I felt sting on my eyes. I should have gotten comfort from my family after my attempt to crush Ruby failed. And they should have helped with to orchest a new plan. But they turned me down."Dad." I begged him. I actually had no one to go since Logan threatened my friends not to help me. So my family was the only option left."Don't call me Dad when you don't even perform well as my daughter." Dad clenched his teeth. "You failed me, Tina. Not one time, but many times. And this, what you did is beyond my scoop. You're no longer my daughter anymore." After that, he turned around and left me just like that.I looked at my mother and brother, begging for pardon from them. However, they left me without any words. And what hurt me more was
