LOGINNATHALIE’S POV đ
–
I sent a message to Tyler. ‘How was your trip? Sapphire, how is she?’
It’s worrying that after sending Tyler’s picture, where they were at the Under Aquarium, he didn't sent any pictures or message.
He just said in the message that they’ve opened a new spot at the amusement park, which is why he thought of taking Sapphire out there.
“Don’t you want to
NATHALIE’S POV đ-Right as I walked back into the living area, Harrison had sat there, toweling his wet hair.“This is more tiring than I expected.”Besides the kitchen, he cleaned the entire living room, except where Calix slept.After that, he took a shower and used Calix’s clothes.“Here, I prepared something for you.” I put down the chicken sandwich and orange juice. “Sorry this is all I can offer for you.” then sat down.He took the chicken sandwich and his eyes widened at the first bite.“Why? Is the filling spoiled?”Harrison shook his head then drank and swallowed, “It just surprised me how identical this filling is to Auntie Margaret’s. You got exactly the taste of her special recipe.”“Actually, it took me a while to get the same taste as that spread…” and then I told him h
NATHALIE’S POV đ–As I opened the front door, Harrison fixed his gaze on my face, my cheek.“F*cking b*llsh*t! Why is your face that flushed, and what’s this damn wound on your way lips?” His eyes dropped for a moment before he demanded furiously once more. “How come your neck is so red, as if…! Was it Calix who hurt you like this? Where is that son of a bitch? I’m going to f*cking k*ll him!”“Harrison, take it easy with what you say. Someone might hear you,” I reminded him.“I’m going to show them exactly what I’ll do to that damn bastard! Where is that fvcking jerk?!”I didn’t argue anymore and my earthly body was tired.“Come in first.” I said then he entered. &l
NATHALIE’S POV đ–Fear took hold of me so completely I stayed rooted in place.He snatched up the chair he’d just tossed down and bashed it against the fridge.“Calix!” I cried out, torn between alarm and dread.I ran for the kitchen, but the moment I reached the door and gripped the handle, I stood rooted to the spot once more.Calix kicked the ruined chair away and grabbed a new one.I’ve seen him like this before... but this is the first time I’ve seen it personally.Shoving aside my uneasy feelings and fear, I went inside the kitchen.“Calix!”Slamming the chair made me leap with fright and surprise.He dropped the broken chair and turned toward me.
NATHALIEâS POV đââMommy, is Uncle not going to sleep with us?ââHe will, little one. Maybe heâll come here later.ââWhy later, Mommy? Mommy⌠is Uncle mad at me? âCause I didnât say yes to him to sleep in the middle?ââNo, little one. Your Uncle Zander isnât mad at you.ââMommy, he didnât play with me earlier, and he didnât eat with us either. I think heâs mad at me.ââNo, my little oner. The reason isâŚâ I pondered a kind explanation my child could understand.âYour Uncle Zander is having diarrhea. He doesnât want you to smell his fart.âMy son giggled with laughter. âHis fart must be stinky.ââYes, little one. Uncle Zander doesnât want you to smell his fart.âMy son giggled again.âClose your eyes now, little one, sleep well⌠so youâll grow tall before you know it.ââYes, mommy.

NATHALIE’S POV đ–“What did you just call me? Did you finally get all your memories back?” I asked, barely breathing.He grinned and explained to me how he found out about Brianna’s name.He’s gone to great lengths to hide Brianna; even his cousin hasn’t the slightest notion of anything.“He hasn’t investigats my parents or Veronica yet, because I don’t want them to suspect that I’m looking for answers about what happened between us back then,” he continued. “Harrison and Wallace? I left them out of this. They don’t even have anything to say about me to begin with. They’re furious at me for reasons I don’t understand.”I understand what Harrison and Mr. Wallace are going through.I also don’t blame them for being mad at Calix. Yet they didn’t allow it to damage their friendship.
NATHALIE’S POV đ–'I’m here in the elevator already.' Tyler texted me, that it put my mind completely at ease.'It was only after I finished taking a shower, I realized I hadn’t sent Tyler my text message.He assumed Sapphire wanted to be by herself, so he left ahead of time.The second he received my message, he cut the nearly two-hour trip from their company to my apartment down to just thirty minutes.“Hope he didn’t run into any trouble rushing like that.”“Who?”I glanced over at Calix as he just stepped down from the staircase.“Who are you thinking about and you seem restless?” he asked as he approached me.“Oh, it’s just nothing,” I answered.He brought Xander over to our bed. Xander fell asleep earlier for his nap.I’m tidying up the toys that Calix and my son p
