LOGINNATHALIE’S POV š
–
Chicken nuggets, fried chicken, meatball spaghetti, bacon, ham, pancakes, broccoli, squash milky soup, apple, grapes and strawberries.
After arranging all the food, I began to wonder if Calix would eat the meals I made.
Maybe I should order some other food delivered for him?
I have a guilty conscience about the way I spoke to my child. I feel what I did was wrong, especially scaring him with those words.
I was about to
NATHALIE’S POV š–Having brewed a cup of steaming black coffee, I set it down before Calix.I sat facing him.Right now we’re in the kitchen. He just finished his cleaning and shower, so we only got to face each other just now.“I’m sorry I haven’t talked to you since yesterday morning.”Oh? Was my suspicion right?“I couldn’t help but get jealous when you were talking to Tyler, calling him 'baby' so sweet.”I blinked, blinked again, and blinked once moreThat meant he didn’t hear me talking to Sapphire?“Also, I want to explain something. I think you overheard my conversation with Veronica.”I forced a smile and tried my best to show I wasn’t affected.“Y-You don’t have to explain anything. That kind of talk between you two is totally natural. You’re married, she’s your wife… ..
NATHALIEāS POV šāIāve finished my work, but Iām still not sleepy.Now Iām on the side near the outlet where Iām sitting on the pillow-soft chair cushion. My table is a foldable table, and from my place I can see Xander ā fast asleep.I close my laptop and also remove the charger from the plug. I checked my phone and saw a message from Tyler.One of Tylerās messages is a stolen picture of Sapphire where sheās already going up the stairs, and the rest of his messages are text messages.āHow are you and Xander there?āāYou can call me whenever itās convenient for you to talk. šāāSapphire and I miss you. ā¤āThereās a voice message, āI miss you so much, Nathalie. šā in a deep and hoarse voice.I sent a text message to Tyler with the content, āXander and I are doing well here. Thanks for saying hello and taking care of Sapphire. Sorry, I canāt call you right now. Iām a little sleepy.āIām just sleepy; thatās the whole reason. Iām really not all there right now, and I might blurt out
NATHALIE’S POV š–“Nathalie?!” Calix blurted out in surprise the moment he laid eyes on me.I forced a smile but I could feel my lips and hands trembling.“You’ve been there since earlier?” he asked, concerned.I shook my head.“How long have you been here?”I looked at the trashbag he was holding. “Let me take the trash out.”“I’ll take care of it, I already have a mask anyway. Xander’s napping in the living area.”I didn’t argue anymore, the important thing was I wouldn’t see him for about five minutes.“I’ll toss this out.”I signaled with a nod.He smiled at me then left.As soon as the door closed, I silently burst into tears.I heard the entire conversation between him and Veronica. The longing he felt for her
VERONICA’S POV š–“You’ll pay for this when you come back. I’ll make sure you’re totally exhausted in bed,” I purred to Calix across the line.[“Oh, Hon. I can hardly wait for what you’ve threatened to do. Make sure you’ve got all your strength though, because I’ll be exhausting you just as much, between the sheets.”]I couldn’t help but smile. “Hon, I have to hang up. I have something else to do. I love you so so much.”[“I love you so much more, Veronica.”]“Bye, Hon. I love you.” I said in the softest tone.[“I love you too, Veronica.”]After hearing that, I hung up the call.I put my phone down on the table.“There must be so many ants around because you two are so sweet.” Rowena commented teasingly.“Jealous much?”
NATHALIE’S POV š–“Too good to be true?” I asked.“All of a sudden, I started having second thoughts about him,” Avery remarked. “Something just doesn’t feel right about it.”“Which one?”“Tyler’s too perfect.”“Isn’t that great?”“Not really, but sure, why not? You never know, he could be hiding some real motive.”“Like what?”She shrugged her shoulder.“Your mind is going everywhere, Ave. Isn’t it possible there could still be someone like Ty?”“Woaah! Defending the fiancée!”“He’s not my fiancée.”“So, does that mean you don’t plan on marrying Tyler?”“I don’t have time to think about that for now.”“Okay, whatever you say! But promise you’ll
NATHALIE’S POV š–“Nathalie! Nathalie!” Avery called me in sheer excitement, bouncing right out of her seat. “You know, the part I loved most of what you told her was–”She paused in her speech.She straightened her back and imitated my words, “Why not just get someone to listen to you for a price?”She clapped her hands in delight. “That line of yours is winner.”I smiled at Avery’s reaction. It felt like I had done something right.“But in all seriousness,” she spoke earnestly. “You should be proud of what you did. You should’ve gone one step further and slapped that woman. Why didn’t you give her a slap?”“I don’t want to make that conversation bigger and longer — if it can be called a conversation.”“Makes sense, you’ve got a point. F
