Chapter 36

Penulis: Célia Oliveira
Another Monday morning. I'd already gone for a walk with Noah and wanted to head to the capital to pick up a few things. My birthday was coming up soon, just a few days after Father's Day.

Speaking of Father's Day, I felt a wave of sadness—it would be another year without my hero. That thought tore me apart. It was a kind of pain that never went away. But I tried to focus on the present and let go of the past, so I wouldn't suffer twice.

I remembered to print out the photos from Noah's monthly celebration. I wanted to put a few in the picture frame in the room. I also remembered Denise mentioning that Liana had set up a room for Noah, but that it was completely empty. My curiosity flared up again—what room could it be? Maybe one day I could decorate it, since Noah deserved a room that felt more like it belonged to a child. If I ever found Oliver in a good mood—which was rare—I'd try to bring up the idea.

A bunch of thoughts swirled in my head, but I didn't have time to dwell on t

  • The Boss, His Baby, and Me   Chapter 100

    After eating and chatting a bit, it was time to go. I was happy I didn't have to work at the clinic on Saturdays. In exchange, I had gone back to making my little bows and selling them downtown on my days off. Ray's phone rang just as we were leaving. "All good, I'm just dropping a friend off at home and then I'll come by," she said to the person on the other end. "Is something wrong, Ray?" Ethan asked, concerned. "My professor said there's something missing in my final project and asked me to come in right away." "Then go, don't worry. I'll take Aurora home." Ray said goodbye, and I got into Ethan's car. I felt completely uncomfortable. When Rachel was with us, the conversation flowed, but when it was just the two of us, everything went quiet. "Do you want to go somewhere?" Ethan asked as he buckled his seatbelt and started the car. "No, you can just take me home, it's fine." "Are you sure? The city's so big and it's still early. I bet you haven't seen all of it yet.

    "I don't know much, Ray, but I do know the worst thing is not saying how you feel when you have the chance—because then comes the deep regret of all the 'what ifs.' What if I had told him I loved him? What if I had fought harder? What if I had done this or that? So if you have the chance to be near him, take it." "Are you heartbroken, Aurora?" "I am, Ray. And the worst part is that my love feels more impossible every day." "Aurora, tell me about it. I've always noticed a sadness in you. I never asked out of respect, but please, tell me." "It's a long story, but I'll just say this: if I had stayed close to him, it would've hurt even more—watching him suffer and not being able to do anything about it." "I imagine it must be hard to talk about, so I'll respect your timing. When you're ready, I'm here," she said with a kind smile. "Thanks for understanding, Rachel." "You talking about love like that actually gave me courage to confess." "Do it, Ray. Take the chance while yo

    "Yikes, Rory, I'm sorry. I knew you didn't drink alcohol, but I didn't think that tiny truffle would do that to you." "It's okay, Ray, I didn't think it would either." "Here, have this glass of water." She handed it to me. "Just for that, I'm paying the bill tonight." "Really?" "But don't get used to it, okay?" she said, rubbing my back. "Hey, I was thinking—we could invite Ethan to come with us." "Are you nuts? Why would we do that?" "Okay, fine, if you don't want to," she replied, sounding a little down. That night, I was getting ready. I decided to wear the same pants I wore to the agricultural fair, a gift from Denise, but when I went to button them, it was a bit of a struggle. I had been eating better lately because I'd decided I wouldn't let my body suffer for my problems. Rachel honked outside my house. She had a car, which was great because we could go to places farther away. I always chipped in for gas, even though she insisted it wasn't necessary. We got to

    I had already been working at the clinic for three months. Rachel came to chat with me whenever she could; we became friends and started hanging out on weekends. Dr. Ethan always had his coffee in the kitchen and was never rude again or said anything that made me uncomfortable. In fact, he was very polite and always asked how I was doing. I ended up renting a small house. Well, it was basically three rooms in the back of a woman's house—Rachel's aunt, Thelma. Thelma was a woman in her forties, lived with her husband, who was a bus driver, and had a very smart thirteen-year-old daughter who loved to chat with me at night. Rachel's whole family was great. I was really lucky to find them right away. I hadn't bought many pieces of furniture because I was saving as much as I could. I only got a single bed, a wardrobe, a basic stove, and a small used fridge. The house had a living room connected to the kitchen. There was a cabinet under the sink, which helped a lot. I didn't have

    "What are you doing here?" "Well..." I started, "Sorry." I was really embarrassed. "I'm doing a trial to work here." "Work here?" he asked seriously. "Yeah, in cleaning and the kitchen. Today's my first day, I'm really sorry about this." "You're a bit clumsy, aren't you?" Just as I was about to answer, Rachel showed up. "Good morning, Dr. Ethan. This is Aurora, she's training to work with us." I couldn't believe it—the doctor was the same man I'd bumped into days ago, the one who bought me a new phone. "Aurora..." he thought out loud before speaking. "Why were you rushing out like that?" "The guy who just brought the coffee dropped his wallet. I was trying to catch up to him." "Look at this." Ethan walked into the kitchen and showed me a notebook. "Do you know what this is?" he said, pointing at it. "It's a planner, it has his phone number. There's no need to run around here—this is a clinic. There are patients with vision problems. Imagine tripping over one of them

  • The Boss, His Baby, and Me   Chapter 95

    Days had gone by. I locked myself in this room and didn't go out at all. I was sunk in sadness, missing Oliver and Noah terribly. Oh, Noah! How was my little piece of heaven doing? Today he would be one month older, and it would be the start of his solid foods. I had been looking forward to this day—sitting with him in the garden, offering him his first piece of fruit. I felt completely broken. I thought several times about calling the estate, but I was so afraid Liana would find out and do something to my little baby. The pain in my chest was unbearable. I couldn't eat, sleep, or even get up to do anything. I needed to get my life back on track—my money would run out if I kept withering away like this. Suddenly, the room phone rang. "Hello…?" "Hi, is this Aurora?" "Yes." "Sorry to bother you, my name is Rose, I'm from the front desk. It's just that you've been staying with us for several days and I haven't seen you come out of your room. I wanted to check if everything was
