âWhatever happened and why I disappeared from your memory, maybe thatâs what you wanted tooâthat you donât remember anything about me anymore.â
He remained his at me with lips parted just a little, seemingly stunned by my words.

NATHALIE'S POV đââWhatever happened and why I disappeared from your memory, maybe thatâs what you wanted tooâthat you donât remember anything about me anymore.âHe remained his at me with lips parted just a little, seemingly stunned by my words.âIf only you remembered me at all,â I trailed off, remembering his actions in the heat of his anger before. âyou wouldnât waste even a second of your time on me.â As I press forward, sorrow fills my heart. âYou want me to disappear from your life.âHe remained silent and didnât seem to have any more plans to speak.I have nothing left to say except for one thing. âMaybe it really is for the best that you donât remember me. It looks like youâre much happier now without me in your life, and honestly, weâre doing just fine too. Donât come back here ever again, and donât come back to us either, Mr. Calix.âThen I went back inside and closed the door.I k
NATHALIE'S POV đ–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 đââHarrison, since youâre already here, I might tell you what I want to say.âHe momentarily halted putting food into Xanderâs bowl.Weâre still having breakfast right now.This is already Xanderâs third bowl, and itâs the third time Harrison has served food into my sonâs bowl.âI was actually caught off guard by what you said,â he confessed, chuckling as he placed the food in Xanderâs bowl. âXander, the soup isnât too hot anymore, but be careful anyway so you donât burn your tongue.ââYes, Uncle Harrison!â Xander replied happily, then continued to eat. âItâs not hot. I can eat it.âI smiled as my son felt comfortable with the person who was always by our side, the person we could trust.âNat,âI shifted my eyes back to him. âWhat were you trying to tell me?âI put my spoon down first. âI want to thank you for everything youâve done, for everything youâve helped us. Honestly, Iâm so thankful to have met you. With everything has happened to me, and everything I am go
CALIX'S POV đ-âWhyâd you bring this up again, Calix?â 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.âNothing specific, Mom. Just popped into my head so I asked.ââAre you sure Calix?â Mom asked, looking and sounding concerned. âYou and Veronica donât have any problems?ââNo. Nothing,â I answered briefly. âIâm leaving now. I might be late for my breakfast meeting.âShe nodded. âBe careful, son.âI gave a quick nod, left the house, and went straight to my car.I grinned and started my carâs engine.Itâs clear now theyâre concealing Nathalie from me. Not a word about her comes from, and I need to understand why theyâre doing this.đđ**** ****....................................**** ****VERONICA'S POV đâAs soon as my husband left, I went downstairs to talk to my old mother-in-law.âWhy is Calix asking such a thing?â I asked directly.As soon as Calix l
CALIX'S POV đ–“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 đ-âYes,â I answered without hesitation. âI am sure.ââAre you still sticking to that answer?ââCertainly.ââNat, weâre still friends, right? Same as before?ââWithout a doubt.ââIn that case, why lie?â he let out a chuckle. âAfter all, itâs nothing new for you to come to me first and open up about your real feelings for the one you love.âI frowned. âMe? Lying? Iâm not.ââPerhaps you arenât aware of it yourself.ââWhich one?ââThere is a spot reserved for him in your heart.ââWho? Tyler?ââSadly, yes.ââTy is my friend. Or rather, a special friend.ââDid you notice in yourself, that sweet smile you had when I asked you about him?ââW-What?â I asked in a panic.I touched both ends of my lips at the same time.He laughed out loud. âWhy are you so nervous?ââJust go ahead and cook!â I said in annoyance.I wasnât smiling.What I wasnât sure about was what he was saying, about my sweet smile...Harrison and I didnât talk about that anymore because he needed to focus on c

NATHALIE / SOFIAâS POV đ-âBaby, you can speak again?â His voice filled with incredulity.âWe donât know you.â I denied.I took Brianna -- Sapphireâs hand, causing me to spill the food I had with me, and we grabbed everyoneâs focus.âWhat are you talking about, you donât know me? Nat, did you los
