LOGINNATHALIE’S POV đ
-
Harrison and Tyler exchanged sharp glances, as if there was electricity between them.
“Mommy, did Papa Tyler and my Godfather Harrison play a staring game?” Sapphire asked innocently while looking at the two.
Right now, I’m sitting on Xander’s hospital bed feeding him. Sapphire’s standing by the sofa, and we’re watching the two of them.
“I think so, baby.” I answered her question. &ldq
NATHALIE’S POV đ–I waved my hand while smiling. A few moments later, the car in front of me left with Tyler and Sapphire inside.I continued waving until the car was out of sight, then I stopped.“Are you sure you can trust that as*hole guy to watch over Brianna?” Harrison asked, who was next to me.I turned to face him. “What do you think?”I noticed the rise and fall of his chest.He nodded. “I dislike that awful guy, but I have to admit Brianna’s in safe hands with him.”Seems like there’s bad blood over the way Harrison said it.“Thank you for lending them the car.”Tyler and Sapphire used Harrison’s vehicle to get to wherever the private jet was
NATHALIEâS POV đâTyler had a mouth stuffed with pizza. He froze right as he was about to bite into another piece the moment I turned to look at him without moving an inch.âMommy...âI returned my eyes and attention to Sapphire.âWhen we become family, thereâs no reason for us to ever part ways.â Her words were innocent enough, but I could feel how scared and lonely she truly was.âBaby, no matter what happens, we wonât be separated. Weâre still family.ââMommy, the very same thing happened with Daddy Calix. Then he never came to see me again at Grandma and Grandpaâs big house...â She sniffled and started weeping. âM-mommy...â she lowered her head.âNo, baby. I will never leave you.âShe shook her head, this time she held back tears.I canât help but feel troubled by the situation, especially seeing what she feels inside.What happened to her was still imprinted on her heart and mind.If only I could explain to her what happened to Calix. But I canât... she might not fully underst
NATHALIE’S POV đ–“Are you okay?” Calix inquired me“Yes.” I almost stammered. “Did you see it?”“Which one?”“What happened between Tyler and me earlier.”“Yes, I saw it. Why did you ask? Are you planning on not telling me about that?”“No, not like that. Did you hear something?”“Is there something I should hear?” he asked back.One side of his lips arched upward. His gray eyes were not looking at me coldly.There was silence between us as he waited for an answer.“N-Nothing,” was all I said.“When he said he wanted to marry you, I left,” he suddenly explained. “I returned after a brief moment and saw that you had put the box away in your bag. Afterward, I left again and came back once more.”In other words, he did
NATHALIE’S POV đ–I followed Tyler with my gaze as he went, and only when he vanished from sight did I finally release a heavy, weary sigh.I still couldn’t believe what he said — what had just happened.I took my phone from my bag, which kept ringing.Seeing Avery’s name on the phone screen, I answered it right away.“Hey, Ave!” I greeted her in a cheerful voice.[“Don’t 'hey Ave' me. Where are you and the kids? I went to your apartment, but your neighbor said they’ve noticed you’re not here for a few days.”]I just realized I still have not mentioned our situation to her.“My kids and I are here, including Ty, in L.A.”[“Los Angeles?!&rdq
NATHALIE’S POV đ–“What the fu–” he pressed his lips before he could curse.Whenever Tyler could curse or say bad words due to heavy emotions, he tried not to continue saying them.He does that so my kids can’t hear.As much as possible, he doesn’t want the children to grow up hearing profanity or bad words, especially growing up in an environment where there is always shouting or anger.“Are you considering doing that?” he asked.I told Tyler every plan that could happen when my son and I stayed here for a few months. I also told him what Harrison was proposing.I didn’t want to tell Tyler about that, but I had to. So that if Sapphire calls I can remind Tyler if Calix is ââwith us.“I don’t know yet. The ones staying in the same building is my top consideration for now,” I answered.“Why does he
NATHALIEâS POV đââI was hoping to tell you this once we were back in Florida, but it wasnât supposed to come out like this.ââ...â â Me.âI had something special prepared â a surprise for you in Florida, but itâs clear that I can no longer show it with you.âIâm already surprised even at this point. On fact, Iâm quite astounded.âNathalie?ââH-Ha?âI couldnât follow anything he was saying.âDid I surprise you?ââAre you serious about your question, or are you just making sure?â I asked a little sarcastically.He even smiled warmly and said, âIâm sorry. seems like I startled you.ââAnd I was completely caught off guard,â I added.He chuckled.Itâs not like before that I knew nothing about diamonds.Thanks to my daughter, she explained in detail the diamonds she wants set in her designs so Iâve learned how to tell real diamonds from fake ones.From what I can see by how brightly this diamond in the engagement ring sparkles, I can tell itâs genuine, and it feels like...âTy, are you se
TYLERâS POV đ-âAnd you, why do you look at her feelings like that?â He asked with a smirk. His question is nonsense but clearly hinting at something.âIâm not concerned about her.â I denied.âYou said so.ââYou know what I need from Sofi, so... Thatâs why things are like this.â I abruptly stumbl
NATHALIE / SOFIAâS POV đ-...... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ [ FLASHBACK ] ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~....I stopped walking, which made Sapphire, the one I was holding hands with, stop as well.I witnessed something caught my attention. A young man intentionally crashed into himself and pretended to
NATHALIEâS POV đ-âAre we going to move?â I asked, to make sure I didnât mishear or misinterpret things. âYou want us to move to a different place to live?ââYes, my dear. I plan to sell it cheaply or for whatever amount we can sell it for, enough to get us started.ââBut Mom, this home and land
NATHALIEâS POV đ-âWeâll get together later,â I told Harrison as a reminder.I called him to remind we were supposed to meet.Ever since I wanted to pinch his cheek earlier, Iâve been excited to see him. I really want to see him and pinch his cheek.âTaking time to call me again to remind this,
