FAZER LOGINNATHALIE'S POV đ
–
“You speak of things that aren’t real,” I replied, my voice trembling despite my efforts to conceal the agony and fury within. “We have nothing to talk about. Just go.”
“Is it really nothing, Nathalie? Don’t we have anything to talk about, and more importantly, anything to fix?”
“Don’t push it, Calix.”
“What the fvck, why the h*
NATHALIE'S POV đââNo, mommy. Cause you werenât with me, Mommy. I called you so many times and you didnât answer. I thought you left me behind.ââSorry, little one. I fell asleep in the living room. And besides, I wonât leave you. I love you.ââI love you too, mommy.ââIâm just about to cook our breakfast. Letâs go to the kitchen?âXander nodded happily.I picked up my son and we went downstairs.âXander, what do you want for breakfast?â âHmm... Mommy, is it okay if we skip the broccoli this time?âUpon reaching the bottom of the stairs, I stared at my child. I blinked repeatedly, yet he is a smiling.âPlease, mommy.ââOkay, son. But, what about broccoli shake?â I joked.âMommy, I donât want it.ââJust kidding, little one. Okay, no broccoli for today.ââYe-hey!âI was about to head to the kitchen when at the same time my phone on the sofa rang and the door bell also rang.I made my way to the door, and seeing Harrison through the digital viewer, I didnât hesitate to open it.âHarr
NATHALIE'S POV đ-Calix stooped down and held my arm tightly but carefully to keep me from losing my balance.My expression melted as I looked at him, gazing deeply into his handsome face and his captivating gray eyes.I have many things I want to say, full of reproach and blame, but even though I try to open my mouth, the words just wonât come out.I feel a heavy weight inside me and I am completely worn out.âIâm sorry...âHe brought my head to his arm, I felt his other hand rubbing my back.Everything came to mind all at once: all that we and my kids went through starting over four years ago, when he suddenly vanished just when we needed him the most.âC-Calix...â I called, hoarsely. My tears completely giving way and I cried.âY-You... Y-You... h-had n.. n-no i...i-idea...âI was crying so hard that I couldnât utter a single word.He stopped patting my back and held me close..Iâm not sure how long I cried, how long my mind went blank, however Calix didnât let go of me the enti
VERONICA'S POV đââHahahaha! Holy crap, Harrison! Hahaha!âI couldnât stop myself from laughing loudly. Yet, every laugh was mixed with annoyance and rage at him and even his friend.My voice echoed throughout the parking lot. I almost fell over laughing.I glimpsed at Harrison. His serious gaze only made me burst out laughing even more.ââYouâre so funny. HAHAHAHA!ââVeronica,â he called my name threateningly.I breathed in deeply and looked right back into his serious eyes. âWow! Listening to you, aski about what happened to me? I could almost believe your concern is genuine.â A soft chuckle slips out at my lips. âI find this hard to believe.ââWe may not be friends, but we practically grew up together. Thatâs why I still concerned about you.ââStop repeating that, donât say it ever againâitâs just hilarious. You? Concerned... to me?â I let out a small laugh, then quickly switched back to a serious tone. âIf youâre genuinely worried about me, tell me the truth about where Calix is
NATHALIE'S POV–Before I knew it, my face, my heart, and my whole self had slowly softened for him.“Nathalie, how can I return to how I was before, when nothing and no one else occupies my mind and heart but you? Especially now that I’ve discovered that our paths crossed long ago. And it seems our connection wasn’t just a simple acquaintance, it runs much deeper than that.”He held both of my hands.“I want to know what it was that we shared before.”“Calix, whether you find out or not, it doesn’t matter anymore. I would never want to come between you and the woman you married, or ruin your marriage.” I said sincerely.He let go of my hand and in an instant he hugged me.“Let’s be together, the thre

Just go.”“Is it really nothing, Nathalie? Don’t we have anything to talk about, and more importantly, anything to fix?”“Don’t push it, Calix.”“What the fvck, why the h*ll–” He stopped talking abruptly, holding back his shout as his attention landed on my son.He took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Why doesn’t anyone want to tell me everything? Not even you?”“Maybe that’s for the best. Besides, it’s pointless either way, whether you know or not—nothing will change.”“You can think whatever you want, and I respect that. However, I won’t go anywhere until we have t
NATHALIE'S POV đ–From the kitchen, I watch Calix and Xander with joy as they assemble the Lego pieces Calix brought with him.As much as possible, I listen carefully whenever they talk.I felt anxious that my son might suddenly mention Sapphire once more.I’m sitting here right now having a video call with Tyler. I explained to him why I wasn’t replying to his texts and video call requests while we were eating.I managed to take his call since Sapphire wasn’t around; she was already asleep in her room, and the two I was with were occupied. That gave Tyler and me some time to chat.“Is he still there?” Tyler asked in a low voice as well.“Yeah, Calix is ââstill here. Playing with Xander.”“Why haven’t you sent him away yet? Over three hours is definitely enough time for him to say goodbye properly.”“It&rsqu
