Chasing after Him 22
Chapter 22We arrived at his parent's house and I feel so nervous like what I felt the first time I met Canon's Mom. This is all new to me, I have never been introduced to my partner's parents since I never had any relationship. The moment we enter his parent's house, the maids instruct us to proceed to the dining hall where his parents are waiting. The table is full of different dishes. Gosh, so many foods. I want to taste them all. I saw Canon's Mom and she smiled at us when we are walking towards her. I saw his father and I can feel that he is also strict like Canon. I guess, I have to try my luck tonight and do my job. His dad looked at us and I vow my head a little in respect to him. He just nodded in response. "Son, it's been a long time. I am glad you have a lovely wife now. She is so gorgeous." His father said and I blushed with his compliment. Gosh, I did not expect that. "Yes Dad, she's the most beautiful woman in my eyes," Canon said while looking at me. I can feel tha

Chapter 22We go outside the car after we hugged. I feel a little embarrassed that I did that. I hope he does not think about it in a bad way. I just want to comfort him. We entered the house and we were just silent the whole time. "Thank you." He said and I just smiled at him. "Good night, Canon," I said and he nodded. "Good night, Lory." He replied and we parted ways. We go to our rooms. I immediately rest that night. I can still feel his embrace. I wish he will get better soon. I woke up feeling a lot better this morning. I prepared for my work today and I guess Canon is already in the dining hall having coffee or tea. I went downstairs and I did not see Canon in his usual spot. I was confused for a second and the maid told me that he left so early in the morning. I just shrugged it off maybe he has a lot of work to do in the office today. I decided to leave after I had my breakfast. I arrived at the office and Jane greeted me. I smiled at her and greeted them back. "Is Mr

Chapter 23The whole ride was just silent when Caliber drives me home. I had no choice since I think he let my driver go home first. I had a feeling that he wants to tell me something. "Mallory, how long do you know my brother?" He asked. I was caught off guard. I will just tell him what we talked about. "We know each other for a year now." I lied. We just know each other for two months now. "Oh, so my brother was just keeping your relationship a secret?" He said while laughing. "Nope, it is my choice. I want him to hide it for now." I said. He just went silent while driving. "You know, my brother has not moved on yet from his ex." He said and I think he was just testing me. "I don't believe that he loves me and he does not care about his past now," I said confidently. He nodded while grinning as if he was not convinced by what I just said. I did not mind him. I think he wants the inheritance of their parents as well, so he was trying to find out if we were just faking our marri

Chapter 24I am still confused about why Caliber has to bring me with him. After I gathered all the data he needed, he let me go home to pack my things. I still have no idea but I just follow him since we might meet Canon there. I badly wanna see him. I am concerned about his well-being. I started packing my clothes and I forgot to ask how many days are we going to stay there but I packed clothes for one week to be sure. After I packed my things, I stay in the living room to watch some news while waiting for Caliber to pick me up. I wonder what kind of relationship Canon and his brother have. I opened the television and what is more surprising is that the news is about Canon. They focus the camera on Canon while he was walking out of the restaurant, maybe he had a dinner meeting with his business partners. I was positive about that not until an elegant lady clung to his arms. I felt a pain in my chest when I saw them. All this time, I worry about him and yet he was with another wo

I was caught off guard when he grab my arms and almost throw me outside. My tears are flowing nonstop.

Chapter 1I have been exhausted by the sudden event that happened earlier. He let me go but he warned me to never hide anywhere since he will find ways to search for me. I hate this life. Out of the blue I needed to marry someone. I will never let anyone dictate my life.“How's Dad?” I asked my Mommy. She looks so tired from taking care of my father, I knew that feeling since I also took care of Dad the whole day when my Mom wasn't around.“He's fine now. We should just follow the advice of the doctors, he will take medicines and have regular checkups. I don't know where we will get enough money to pay for all the expenses.” She's crying right now. I comfort her and I almost jump in horror when my old phone rang to life.“Hello? Who's this?” I asked since it was an unknown caller. I just heard a gasp from the other line so I asked again.“It's me. We needed to get married as soon as possible.” I shivered when I heard that familiar voice. That man! God, I thought that was just a prank,

Chapter 3I heard a knock on the door of my room. I just cover myself with a blanket, I don't feel like talking to any of them now.“It's Tessa.” She's one of the maids who assist me, she helps me familiarize all the stuff going on, in this mansion. I let her in.“I'm sorry for what happened earlier, Sir scolded you because of us.” I immediately shook my head.“No, it wasn't your fault. He's the narrow-minded one, there's nothing wrong in doing household chores. He thinks that he's the God of all using having plenty of money!” I angrily said. I heard a fake cough from the entrance of my door, my eyes widen when I saw Canon, he was standing while his arms crossed. I immediately look away.The hell. I didn't notice he was there! Tessa hurriedly left my room and excuse herself. Canon enters my room and locks my door. My heart is beating so fast.“Can we talk?” He asked. I turn my back on him.“You're already talking.” I awkwardly stated. He just chuckle, this is the first time I heard him
