NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-“What grievance do you hold against someone of my standing? You’re just a dirt-poor person with no money. It’s like you’re just an ant that can be easily trampled and squashed in an instant.”“You know, even ants are small, you don’t notice when they’ve gotten close to you, you’ll only feel the pain of their bite, which leaves a mark.” I answered courageously, adding, “It seems you also don’t know. There are types of ants that are feared even when there’s just one.”She gave a smile. “We shall see the limits of your boldness if I confirm your messing up my son and Veronica’s marriage.”I didn’t retaliate against her threat, but instead stepped to the left side to quietly tell her she could leave.And then Madame Beatrice walked away at once, leaving right in front of me.
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-“If only they’d been in a relationship. That way, I would’ve had every right to slap Margaret right in the face back then.”Does that mean my mom and Mr. Ethan never had a relationship?Mrs. Beatrice’s eyes turned red after she shed a tear. “If Ethan hadn’t accidentally gotten me pregnant before, he wouldn’t have married me. I am the one my husband married; I am with him every single night, yet his heart and lips still belong to Margaret. And now, you’ve got some gall to rub it in my face that Marga was happy, while my marriage with my husband became miserable because of her.”I felt sorry for Mrs. Beatrice, but that was still not enough reason to blame my mother for what happened or is happening to her and Mr. Ethan.We lived a quiet and peaceful life without having anything to do with them.I just found out about this now because n
NATHALIE'S POV 🍃-She turned to face me, and I further confirmed that it was indeed her.She gave me a cold, expressionless stare.I followed with my eyes the grave marker where she was standing.Not at my grave, not in the middle of my mother’s grave—but right in front of my mother’s grave.“What are you doing here?”I turned my gaze to Mrs. Beatrice. “I’m visiting my mother’s grave...” I answered absentmindedly. Wondering why she was in front of my mother’s grave.“Why did you return?” she demanded. “Why are you here in L.A.? Why didn’t you keep on distancing yourself? What do you intend to ruin now—my child and Veronica’s life together? Will you wreck my son’s life once more?”My mouth remained closed; for the time being, I stayed silent.I didn’t manage to find answers to her queries right off the bat.I feel guilty about her accusations, because I was forcing myself on Calix even though he had already made it clear that he was married.But now everything has become clear to me
NATHALIE'S POV 🍃-After we ate, I took care of the kids, while Tyler cleaned up our dishes.After I got the kids ready and I took a shower, we left the apartment and went to our destination.....The trip to the mall took about three hours and the first thing we went to was the first boutique shop we saw.“Dad, do I look good?” Sapphire asked after I had her wear the dress we saw at this shop.“Yes, baby! It suits you!” Tyler praised her.“Really?” Sapphire then turned to face me again. “Mommy, can I buy this? Please?”“You don’t have to please, baby. Yes, we’ll buy everything you want.”“Really, mommy? Can I still choose another dress?”“Of course, baby. But let’s head back to the fitting room first and put your clothes back on.”“Yes, yes, mommy!” Sapphi
CALIX'S POV 🍃-I nodded. I swallowed my food. “Yes, mom.”“Don’t follow in your father’s footsteps,” she said sharply as she stood up. “I’m done eating. Enjoy your dinner.”I continued eating. I drank some water first and when I put the glass down again, I peeked at the instant noodles. I took the fork that had been prepared for my wife, which was intended for her use.I grabbed a bit of noodles with my fork, sniffed it first before digging in.The spiciness of these noodles rushed straight to my tongue, and went all the way to my throat when I swallowed. I also tasted the milk that lessens the spiciness of the flavor including the tippings.The flavor is intensely hot and almost overwhelming, but it’s super tasty given how cheap it is. It feels like something is burning my throat and tongue with the strength of the spiciness. And even though it
CALIX POV 🍃-Despite that incident, the bond between the three of us remained intact. We still support each other quietly, but through strong, meaningful moves. Just like I keep donating to Harrison’s hospital, and he supported the launch event that happened in Florida recently when he got the jewelry I auctioned.But, I can’t remember the last time we talked properly after I was discharged. Oh right! It was after I donated blood, when my body was very frail, that Harrison and I had another conversation alone.“Why did you turn your back on me?”I glanced over at Veronica when she walked in here.“You’re intoxicated and have already consumed a great deal of alcohol.”“So? Is that supposed to be an excuse to leave your gorgeous wife behind when we’re still in the middle of talking?”“You’re saying all sorts of things,” I replie
