MasukCassandraToday I picked up Miles. I always enjoy picking him up and greeting him with a happy face.After that, Miles immediately invited me to go to a café that had caught his interest ever since he passed by it, a sweet café dominated by chocolate. Since today was so relaxed, I went there with Miles.As soon as we entered, greeted by the truly delicious scent of chocolate, I felt that this was a great place to make Miles happy.“I want this monster ice cream,” he immediately told the waiter his order.Looking at the picture of the item on the menu, I decided not to order anything, already knowing what would happen next, based on my observations from being his mother.“Mom, I can’t finish it,” he murmured, leaning back against the chair while holding his stomach.Just as I had expected, I immediately took the large glass of ice cream in front of him and started eating it myself.I was truly used to things like this, or you could say every mother understands her child well.Ten minut
Cassandra“What are you doing, Milo?” I asked, lowering my head to get a better look at what he was working on.It was a quiet Sunday, and Miles had already immersed himself in his activities. Curious, I asked him about it.“Mom, don’t look,” he quickly covered what he was making by hugging it to his chest, shielding it.Seeing his enthusiasm, I didn’t want to distract him from his project. So I stepped back, letting him relax. To me, I loved seeing Miles so full of excitement.I wanted to be a truly good mother to my child, to be someone who supports him and helps him whenever he needs it. I knew I had tried hard to be that person, but still, there was a feeling of something lacking deep inside me.“Mom, are you going to stay there?”Miles’s question snapped me back to reality.Before I could answer, he added, “I’ll show it to you later.”I nodded. “Alright.”Honestly, I was very curious about what he was making, but I restrained myself from disturbing him.I enjoyed my morning coffe
CassandraRight now, I’m in a park not far from where I live. Miles wanted to take Nakka out for a walk, to throw a ball somewhere new, and according to him, Nakka wanted to meet other dogs.I’m sure that when he talked about that, it also applied to himself. I couldn’t refuse and ended up accompanying him.Seeing him happily throwing the ball for Nakka made me feel glad.Repressed emotions are dangerous; they can cause someone to break down in an instant and get hurt. That’s why I tried hard to ask about what Miles was feeling, to properly meet his emotional needs.I had been following Miles when a boy suddenly walked toward him. Narrowing my eyes, I realized it was Tucker.My eyes quickly darted around, and I saw Cillian raising his hand to greet us.“Miss Sandra.”I was a little slow to respond. “Yes, Sir Cillian.”I glanced over at Miles, there was no problem. He quickly became friends with Tucker, and the two of them laughed as they played together with Nakka.I turned my attenti
CassandraI had been with him since we were children. I followed him with my small steps and at first thought of him as my older brother. Wherever he was, I wanted to follow.Honestly, I thought we were inseparable because we had always been together.The moment I realized my feelings, I wanted Sebastian more. When Grandpa said he would be happy if I became Sebastian’s wife, it only made me even more excited.Instead of accepting my presence beside him, Sebastian felt deeply disturbed and often avoided me. He even had a lover by the time I grew up.The pain truly shattered me when I first found out he already had someone. I tried so hard to win his love, but I failed.After that, I tried to manage my feelings, but I never succeeded, until I finally married him. The only thing I knew was that my love was one-sided.Looking at Sebastian now, I focused on his lips, wanting desperately to get an answer from him.He pulled the car over to the side of the road, a heavy breath leaving his mo
CassandraThere’s always a heavy feeling in my chest when I come here, even though I want to meet someone who is kind to me, someone who cares about me and always welcomes me.But I can say that this house holds many memories, and not all of them are pleasant. Julie, who lives here, often greets me with sarcastic remarks that make me suffer.I treated her politely and hoped that she would eventually change, seeing me truly as her daughter-in-law.The last time we met, she did seem to accept me as her daughter-in-law, demanding things back in a forceful and unpleasant way. The fact is, I’m not comfortable being near her, and fortunately, Grandpa had arranged for her to stay elsewhere.I tried not to overthink things, especially since they’re really none of my business.I sighed before stepping forward, seeing Sebastian holding Miles’ hand with a warm smile on his face.I could have gone here with Miles, but the man had been waiting for me and offered to go together, an offer I couldn’t
CassandraThe moment I got home, I saw Sebastian with Miles. From his appearance, it didn’t look like he had fought with Cillian.For a moment, I imagined that maybe they would end up rolling around in the street, punching each other like little kids. The thought amused me a bit, but seeing things like this also made me feel relieved.“Sandra, could you come with me to meet Grandpa tomorrow?”I realized that lately he had been asking more and more often about meeting Grandpa. In the past, he would only give me orders and never allow me to refuse what he wanted.“I think I can.”I looked at Miles; his face showed happiness, which made me feel relieved.Grandpa is already very old. He is the only one who has been kind to me, so I can’t ignore him, even though I know that in his eyes there is still a hope that I might return to Sebastian.He only said that I needed to choose my own path. I know that, and I’m trying.“I’ll bring Nakka to Grandpa’s house. Is that okay, Uncle?”Miles’s enth
