INICIAR SESIĂNNATHALIE'S POV đ
–
“Baby, baby!” I didn’t let the panic in my voice show.
I lightly took hold of Sapphire’s arm and carefully pulled her arms off me.
I sat in front of her.
In the past four years, Sapphire has grown taller, so whenever I sit in front of her, she’s a little over my head. It’s not like before when I sit in front of her, our eyes are level.
“M-Mommy.
NATHALIE'S POV đ–He added further, “As long as your conscience is clear, do not feel any guilt. You are doing this for your children’s well-being, and above all, for their lives. That is all. That is as far as it goes.”I don’t agree with hiding Calix’s situation from Veronica. Because from every angle, she’s his wife, and she is the one who has the right to Calix.But, protecting my children is my top priority, no matter what.“Thank you for what you said, Harrison.”“That’s nothing. So don’t think about anything else except your children’s well-being.”Speaking of that.I shifted my gaze to Sapphire who was still sound asleep.I’m anxious she might react abruptly when she lays eyes on Calix.Calix may already have some inkling of what we had in the past, I wasn’t sure if he w
NATHALIE'S POV đ–Everything around went quiet, and silence hung between Tyler and me, until he broke the silence.“I’ll just go out for a moment,” he mentioned.“Where are you headed to?” I questioned him, carrying a concern I’d concealed.“I’ll just get some coffee.”He stood up to leave, but before he had taken five steps he faced me again.His serious face as he stood up, became soft as he approached me and sat down next to me again.“Will you be alright if I leave you here briefly?” concern was evident in both his tone and expression.“Yes,” I assured him. “Don’t worry about me. With so much that has happened to me, what else can I not handle?”He held my hand. “I’ll be right back.”He gave me a smile, and I paused briefly as he cupped the bac
NATHALIE'S POV–“Mommy, is Papa Tyler okay?”I can’t answer Sapphire’s question. I’m not sure what to answer either.Tyler seemed to freeze right where he stood. His back was straight, he didn’t blink, and his eyes were wide open.“Ty...” I shook his arm. “Ty.”“Huh?” he faked a cough.“Papa, are you okay?”“Yes. I’m fine.”“Are you sure?” I questioned, feeling a bit worried.“Yeah... I... I was caught off guard, that’s all—I was just shocked,” he said, appearing out of it, until the rhythm of his blinking settled back to usual.“Where is it?” I asked agai
NATHALIE'S POV đ–“Baby, baby!” I didn’t let the panic in my voice show.I lightly took hold of Sapphire’s arm and carefully pulled her arms off me.I sat in front of her.In the past four years, Sapphire has grown taller, so whenever I sit in front of her, she’s a little over my head. It’s not like before when I sit in front of her, our eyes are level.“M-Mommy...” her voice trembled as she cried. “please, don’t send me back to them, Mommy.”I gently wiped her cheek with my index finger. “No, baby.” I assured her. “I won’t take you back to them.”Whenever this situation happens, I always wonder why Sapphire always thinks I’m taking her back to her family?Am I to blame because I don’t show and make her feel enough love?Still, no matter how often she asks, I w
NATHALIE'S POV đ–I kissed Xander’s forehead, filled with so much love and tenderness, “I love you, my little one. I’m sorry I can’t go inside the operating room with you, but Mommy will be right here waiting outside. I know you can get through this,” I whispered, just as the nurses wheeled him in.I was trying so hard to hold back my tears when I saw Calix and walked up to him.Calix stared at me, completely motionless.Xander was already fast asleep when they wheeled him into the operating room, but I am also worried sick about Calix’s condition.“Nurse, is he okay?” I asked, my voice trembling with fear, worry, and pleading. “Why isn’t he moving? Even the way he blinks doesn’t seem right.”“He’s alright, ma’am. You don’t have to worry about anything. The anesthesia was injected into Mr. Calix&rsq
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
NATHALIEâS POV-This time around, I woke up early. I managed to cook breakfast and get myself ready before Mom woke up.I knocked three times on the door of her room then went inside.My timing was spot on; I came in as she was just starting to sit up, so I supported her.âDonât worry about me,â
CALIXâS POV-Veronica peered out of the expansive windows in the corner. I approached her, my face devoid of expression.âWere you the one who called the social workers?â I asked as soon as I got close to her.With a smirk, she turned to me. âYup, I was the one who called and sent them to your man
NATHALIEâS POV-I turned to look at him. I found him already watching me, his eyes speaking volumes without uttering a word.âWhat do I need to do to fix this between us?ââSir, Iâm here for Brianna. My only reason for being here is to ensure she isnât taken away from you. Thatâs it.ââItâs okay i
NATHALIEâS POV-âGood father?â Sir Calix asked.He wasnât asking me.After a moment, he seemed to come back to himself and looked straight into my eyes again.âI donât know...â he replied when asked. âWhether Iâve been a good father is something I canât say, because I donât understand what makes a
