Jonathan doesn’t know how long he stayed at the restaurant looking at Betty’s receding figure. He couldn’t believe that he had been too naïve to believe that things could really work out between them. Since their last breakup, Jonathan had refused the flirting of any girl in school because he still felt somewhere that Betty was the one for him.After today, he didn't know who to blame. Was it him for being blind in love? Was it Betty for not loving him back? Or was it Nathan and Monica who was Betty's friends and had played matchmaker?As he was wallowing in self-pity, he received a call from Natalie asking when he would be back home.Am on my way. He replied before calling the waiter to pay his bill and left for home. He regretted paying for Betty's meal as well, but he knew there was no way he would be allowed to leave without settling the whole bill. He had not even asked Natalie why she wanted to know about the time he would be getting

Jonathan's family had decided on settling the divorce out of court. Even though the children had known their parents were definitely headed for a divorce, it didn't make anything easier. They felt they were to blame for the failure of their parent's marriage.'I can't believe this is really happening to us. I have read so much about how families are broken by divorces, and never in a moment did I think I would ever be a victim.' Jonathan said. Between him and Natalie, he was the most affected by the divorce. He had never stayed away from his parents for long throughout his life, so he felt he would really miss the comfort of having two parents.On the other hand, Natalie had spent the last few years with her relatives and only saw her parents during Thanksgiving and Christmas. She was confident she would be okay with either arrangement. She just didn't like the fact that her parents were divorcing.Genevieve and Joseck went separately to the attorney who was in

‘Not that I remember of. ‘She replied as she headed to the door.She was surprised to see a lady she had never seen before. They stared at each other, each absorbing the features of the other before Jonathan broke the awkward silence and introduced the two to each other.'You knew she was coming, and you acted as though you didn't know anything, 'Monica said, amused.‘That is why it’s called a surprise. ‘Jonathan answered.The two went to the kitchen table, where they sat and ate their cookies with tea. They were happy. The only figure that was missing was Nathan, and they all knew it. They would look for him and make amends later on.Natalie and Jonathan were not in a hurry to go back home. They knew their dad would order takeaway for supper, and their stomachs were grumbling for properly cooked home food.Monica offered to prepare supper, and the siblings could not be happier. Monica's mom came back from work,

Immediately, Natalie lost her appetite. She had not responded to Alex's greetings, and she didn't even feel guilty about it. She went to her room, locked herself in, and cried. She wept for her life and her brother's.She logged in to the Uber app and called one. She was taking a taxi back home. She knew her mom would not take it lightly, but she didn't care.Five minutes later, she went down the stairs and told her mom that she was leaving. Genevieve didn't try to stop her. She didn't even ask how she would get home, and that hurt Natalie as well.She boarded, and they left. She was lucky she always carried her credit cards with her wherever she went. She couldn't imagine what would have happened if she didn't have any cash.She got home and found a strange car in the compound, but there was no one around. She went to her room, took a bath, and, feeling bored, decided to call Jonathan. She was surprised to hear his phone ring inside the house.Jon

They all ate their food, exchanging small talk until it was time to part ways. Siril asked for Melody's contact and having resolved to get wild over the summer, she didn't deny him that.“What was that?” Kate asked, fuming.Melody frowned, before asking, “What was what?”“Don’t play that game with me? Why did you act like you knew the guys? Being very friendly and even flirting with them! Unbelievable!” Kate said.Melody was surprised at how Kate was speaking with such venom. She was now sure something was really troubling her. She was annoyed at her harshness but decided to be kind to her. Maybe in kindness, she would finally open up.“Am sorry, Kate. I don't understand. Is there something I can do to help? You seem so pissed off, and I don't know if it has something to do with me.” Melody said.Kate seemed to be putting something into consideration, and melody was pleased she was going
