Sarah's povHow could he lie to me about something like that?I sighed, pulling my gaze away from him, who seemed to avoid my gaze and just lowered his face.Calling him a liar wasn't exactly right either. He just didn't tell me about the truth, but what if it's not a lie? Is lying the same thing? He avoided explaining a big thing that I should have known because it was as significant as a decision that involved me, but I wasn't told anything."If you think I don't deserve to know what I'm involved in? Then who do you think deserves to know Eth?" I sat not far from him, not trying to judge him, though my tone of voice was a bit cornered.I saw that the man who had beaten Alex so badly had a troubled look on his face. He looked confused and full of guilt stayed with me for a moment then lowered his head again while taking a deep breath.Now he was tired when he had to explain?Should I forgive him and ask him to forget about it and pretend not to know? That's what she wants, is that it
Sarah's pov"Hey... hey... hey... what are you doing?" Lira's voice interrupted me and brought me back to my senses.I looked up at her, twitching my forehead, and asked in a gesture what she meant.She narrowed her eyes and shook her head. "The tea you poured spilled out of the cup. You kept filling it and making it flow since earlier." He pointed at his own cup, which was spilling out its contents.I straightened the teapot I was holding quickly. "Ah, sorry..." My hand put down the teapot, then started to pick up the hand rag to clean it up,But as I did so, I didn't do well. My hand kept nudging the other one, making Lira chuckle, take over the rag in my hand, and wipe it with her hand. While I watched her awkwardly and sat down.In between wiping the table, she glanced at me. I saw it even though our eyes didn't meet. "What's wrong? What are you thinking about that you're losing focus like this?" She put the rag down a little further away, then sat back down as she sipped her tea
Sarah’s POV"Yes, I promise. I won't make that kind of mistake again, Sarah." He spoke to me with his face already somber and his voice low and powerless.From his body gestures, he still seemed hesitant to touch me. The weak smile on her face and her teary gaze made me stare at her helplessly. What I had done must have hurt and frightened her so much I didn't think about that.I only thought of myself being hurt by the fact that I had become an essential condition in the inheritance that my grandfather had mentioned. I felt hurt thinking that they wanted and fought over me just because of that issue alone when there was a considerable possibility that Ethan didn't care about it.Ethan could have done it because it was his heart's desire to have me like he said; he could have been honest. But I was too focused on my ego, the hurt I felt, and my disappointment that he didn't talk to me about something that important. He made me feel like a fool being fought overby two sides without kno
Diana pov"I don't know why I feel bad," I muttered as I sat in the living room clutching a long cup of tea. My heart felt heavy as if it was waiting for something I didn't know yet, making me uneasy.The front door rang, breaking the silence of the night. I stood shakily, feeling the pressure in my chest, and opened the door. In front of the door stood a man with a cold, stern face. He looked unfamiliar. I didn't recognize him, but my gut feeling told me this man was carrying something important to me. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"I watched the man who looked as cold as ice and rigid as a robot with sharp eyes. I tried to act as strongly as possible, not wanting to be intimidated by his presence."Good evening, Ms. Diana," the man said flatly.I looked at him in confusion. "What is it? Who sent you here?"The man took a deep breath before continuing. "I apologize, but I bring bad news. Your son, Alex, has been involved in a car accident tonight. We regret to inform you tha
Diana’s pov"I'll finish you, Ethan! You'll pay for everything I feel!" I clenched my fists tightly.Today still felt like a storm ready to hit. I arrived at Ethan's house with a burning heart full of anger. The frustration that had been building up all this time had reached its breaking point, and I felt there was no other way but to vent all my feelings. Ethan, that bastard, has done something very disappointing, and I won't stop until he admits his guilt. Then I'll take him to prison and make him rot in it.When I arrived in front of Ethan's house, the atmosphere seemed to respond to my anger. The sky was overcast, and the wind blew hard, creating the same atmosphere I was experiencing. I knew I would make a mess, and I didn't care. I prepared for a big confrontation, not caring about anything that might happen.Without thinking about the consequences, I started shouting. "Ethan! Come out! You have to explain what you did!" My voice echoed around the house, and I could see the few
Ethan’s povI just got home, and my feelings are mixed. My steps feel heavy, as if every step is carrying a very heavy burden. Since this morning, today has been really tiring and emotional. I know I have to face this situation immediately and explain everything to Sarah, she needs to hear it, even though I'm actually lazy to discuss it."But it is necessary for Sarah to still know what happened, I have promised to tell everything to that woman from my own mouth. Whether it is important for her to know or not, let her conclude it."When I opened the door of the house, the atmosphere inside seemed to contrast with the weather outside which was filled with a buzzing sky, cold weather and other things that supported me to be gloomy.But strangely, inside it looked bright and warm. The nuance was so alive because there was someone there who made it warmer.In the living room, Sarah sat on the sofa with a tense expression when she saw my face looked a little gloomy, she looked confused and
Sarah's POV"Look what the seagulls brought Eth." I spread my arms out, pointing toward the expanse of the open sea where many seagulls were flying around, waiting for the fish to surface.Ethan turned to me for a moment before he set his sights on the seagulls I mentioned, his arms drawing my body closer to his as the wind picked up and blew toward us. "Ah, he's got a big fish in his beak." He looked at me with a laugh, watching my face as I laughed.I nodded as I watched the fish being painstakingly carried away by the seagull that didn't want to share its catch with others. Even birds try that hard in life and don't want to share their efforts with others.Seeing it made me think back to the situation Ethan and I were facing on the ship's deck, which was running steadily with the wind blowing against us. I thought about where we had come to with what we had gained. I wondered if this was too much or the other way around.I honestly don't feel guilty for what Diana did to me. I hone
Sarah's pov"Pregnant? You sure? It's not indigestion or an allergy problem?" I heard Ethan talking to the doctor and confirming it more clearly, but I was still confused while looking at the doctor.The doctor went back to check the results of my medical examination report. He looked at it again carefully and nodded his head. "Correct, sir. Your partner is currently pregnant. There is no indigestion, no reaction from allergies, or anything like that." He reiterated the sentence out loud.Ethan grasped my hand tightly, signaling me not to believe him just yet so that my hopes wouldn't soar with him first confirming the truth. "Doctor, sure it's not a mistake?" Once again, he sounded that discordant tone of doubt, but I knew he was just as surprised and hopeful as I was. Ethan turned to me briefly and pointed at me. "My wife is not used to seafood. She's never had seafood before. But today she enjoyed it so much, so it's possible..." he trailed off at the end of his sentence but didn't
