MasukNATHALIE'S POV 🍃–“Whatever happened and why I disappeared from your memory, maybe that’s what you wanted too—that you don’t remember anything about me anymore.”He remained his at me with lips parted just a little, seemingly stunned by my words.“If only you remembered me at all,” I trailed off, remembering his actions in the heat of his anger before. “you wouldn’t waste even a second of your time on me.” As I press forward, sorrow fills my heart. “You want me to disappear from your life.”He remained silent and didn’t seem to have any more plans to speak.I have nothing left to say except for one thing. “Maybe it really is for the best that you don’t remember me. It looks like you’re much happier now without me in your life, and honestly, we’re doing just fine too. Don’t come back here ever again, and don’t come back to us either, Mr. Calix.”Then I went back inside and closed the door.I k
NATHALIE'S POV 🍃–I didn’t answer him or give any reaction at all.I simply remained in my seat.I didn’t know what to answer. I didn’t even know what to think.Do I even need to find out what happened to him? It’s already perfectly clear that Calix doesn’t care about us, whether he remembers us or not.“First of all, they made it look like an accident happened to Calix.”“Made up?” I asked in confusion. “Isn’t that exactly what happened?”“Nat, the truth is–”He ceased talking voluntarily when the doorbell sounded, diverting my attention.I stood up. “Please handle Xander for the moment. I’ll check who’s at the door.”“Sure, sure. No problem.”I gave a small smile and headed towards the door.Seeing Calix standing outside
NATHALIE'S POV 🍃–“Harrison, since you’re already here, I might tell you what I want to say.”He momentarily halted putting food into Xander’s bowl.We’re still having breakfast right now.This is already Xander’s third bowl, and it’s the third time Harrison has served food into my son’s bowl.“I was actually caught off guard by what you said,” he confessed, chuckling as he placed the food in Xander’s bowl. “Xander, the soup isn’t too hot anymore, but be careful anyway so you don’t burn your tongue.”“Yes, Uncle Harrison!” Xander replied happily, then continued to eat. “It’s not hot. I can eat it.”I smiled as my son felt comfortable with the person who was always by our side, the person we could trust.“Nat,”I shifted my eyes back to him. “What were you trying to tell me?”I put my spoon down first. “I want to thank you for everything you’ve done, for everything you’ve helped us. Honestly, I’m so thankful to have met you. With everything has happened to me, and everything I am go
CALIX'S POV 🍃-“Why’d you bring this up again, Calix?” Mom asked, realizing what my question was all about.I suddenly wondered if I should tell her the real intention behind my question or give another reason.“Nothing specific, Mom. Just popped into my head so I asked.”“Are you sure Calix?” Mom asked, looking and sounding concerned. “You and Veronica don’t have any problems?”“No. Nothing,” I answered briefly. “I’m leaving now. I might be late for my breakfast meeting.”She nodded. “Be careful, son.”I gave a quick nod, left the house, and went straight to my car.I grinned and started my car’s engine.It’s clear now they’re concealing Nathalie from me. Not a word about her comes from, and I need to understand why they’re doing this.🍃🍃**** ****....................................**** ****VERONICA'S POV 🍃–As soon as my husband left, I went downstairs to talk to my old mother-in-law.“Why is Calix asking such a thing?” I asked directly.As soon as Calix l
CALIX'S POV 🍃–“I’m going now,” I said laconically.Veronica smiled again. She tiptoed, took hold of both my arms, then gave me a kiss on the lips. I nearly pushed her, had she not gripped my arms firmly.“Don’t go overboard and get too exhausted to your work, babe.”I gave a restrained nod and answered equally reservedly, “Hm.”I slowly released her grip on my arm. “I have to go. I might be late for my breakfast meeting.”“I understand. Give me a call or even just send a quick text when you get to your breakfast meeting. I just want to make sure you’re there safely and not be worried.”“Sure. I'll go now.” I bid farewell once more, and stepped away from where she stood.I was already holding the door knob when Veronica called me again.“Babe!”I made an effort not
NATHALIE'S POV 🍃-“Yes,” I answered without hesitation. “I am sure.”“Are you still sticking to that answer?”“Certainly.”“Nat, we’re still friends, right? Same as before?”“Without a doubt.”“In that case, why lie?” he let out a chuckle. “After all, it’s nothing new for you to come to me first and open up about your real feelings for the one you love.”I frowned. “Me? Lying? I’m not.”“Perhaps you aren’t aware of it yourself.”“Which one?”“There is a spot reserved for him in your heart.”“Who? Tyler?”“Sadly, yes.”“Ty is my friend. Or rather, a special friend.”“Did you notice in yourself, that sweet smile you had when I asked you about him?”“W-What?” I asked in a panic.I touched both ends of my lips at the same time.He laughed out loud. “Why are you so nervous?”“Just go ahead and cook!” I said in annoyance.I wasn’t smiling.What I wasn’t sure about was what he was saying, about my sweet smile...Harrison and I didn’t talk about that anymore because he needed to focus on c
NATHALIE’S POV-“Have you sent a picture to Daddy yet?” I asked Brianna.I showed her how to send pictures, and the only person who came to mind to receive them was her father.She took a selfie with me first and then she took a solo selfie.Brianna gave a double thumbs up.Have you sent many pict
NATHALIE’S POV-Having eaten in the courtyard, we went back inside for Sir Calix to retrieve his things, and he is now taking his leave of Brianna.“Baby, is there anything you want me to bring home later?”She shook her head then hugged her father.“Do you want to have dinner with me and Nathalie
NATHALIE’S POV-“Baby, head inside first. I’ll be in after I finish up here. I need to have a quick chat with Esther.”Brianna nodded in agreement and re-entered the playroom. She closed the door behind her but left it unlocked, after which my attention returned to Esther.“Esther, I know that loo
NATHALIE’S POV-When I woke up, Sir Calix’s embrace greeted me. I couldn’t tell if he was awake yet, his grip was so tight.But... His face.
