Semua Bab MY EX-BOSS, MY LOVER: Bab 171 - Bab 180

When Chris was on the phone with Francis a while ago, he suddenly felt like sinking under the ground with the thought that Francis might have heard him and Yenny argue under the entryway stairs. And he’s right. Francis did not only hear them clearly but he did hear everything. That’s the reason why he wanted to talk to him and Ken because what he had found out is something he can’t swallow and keep to himself only. So, as soon as he reached FasTraxx, he did not wind up anymore and went straight to revealing the truth to Jeremy’s best friends. He was expecting that Chris would slam him with annoyance or anger for eavesdropping but what he took from him was a heartfelt ‘sorry.’ He did not even come clean to save face but still, Chris did stick to his point of view that the mess was his doing and that he was the one apologizing and not Francis. “I was so absorbed in my anger towards Dave that I didn’t notice I was already being careless.” There’s regret in his voice. “And because of tha

"Because it was too late to pretend because mom already knew that I saw the baby robe, she did not hesitate anymore and told me that I had a name when I was brought to Hope.I was right. Fear and worry pushed her to keep the truth from me. She was afraid and worried that if my real name was revealed to me, I might use that to find my real parents.But that was not true. I never thought nor hoped to know even a single thing about my real identity. That never crossed my mind because I was already happy and content to be with them. I couldn't ask for more.I got to embrace such a beautiful life because of dad, mom and most especially, because of Dave. If it's not for him, wanting me to be his younger brother, I don't know where I would be now."Jeremy stopped and avoided Serin's eyes. He looked outside the window.Recalling how he became Jeremy Sean, he could not help but feel a tight squeeze in his hea

"You could not let me go because of my sketch that kept puzzling you. If you hadn't found that in my pocket, you wouldn't have demanded me to stay in your place. We could have parted ways after I got discharged from the hospital. But that never happened because of my sketch.Living under the same roof had caused us pain. You hurt me, unintentionally. As my presence kept giving you so much burden, I had been hurting you. And I did hurt you a lot when I clashed with you and purposely caused you tormenting agony.But instead of getting back at me for torturing you with scrutinizing pain, what you did was something I would never erase in my memory. That was such a beautiful pain my heart would want to cherish, every day.You faced me with gentle intimacy and warm affection. Your gaze consoled my gloomy heart. Sharing that intimate moment with me, you alone became my solace. After that day, my heart kept thinking about you even th

"Feeling completely embarrassed while you were still intently looking at me, I stepped backward and broke the silence that began to discomfort me. I suddenly felt uncomfortable with my insane thoughts about us. Fixed on your intent look at me, you were sinking in your lost mind and asked me what had happened.At first, I hesitated to tell you because what had happened to you might humiliate and trouble you, especially that I was the one who saw you in your agitated state. It might not only embarrass you but it could also dishearten you. However, seeing you in your anxious self, I felt that something was extremely bothering you. And what I had in mind was because of that kiss. You might have kissed me while you were completely lost but how you looked troubled asking me what had happened could tell an obvious truth. You had a strong feeling that you actually kissed me.And if I chose not to answer you,

"I was sure that our own misery was the cruelest during those times. With that, I didn't want to distress you anymore.My new sketch had caused you extreme agitation and that did not only torment you because seeing you in deep agony was also tormenting me, like a cruel punishment.I never wanted to witness you in your agitated state anymore, so I made a promise to myself that I would no longer cause you agonizing pain. But sadly, I kept breaking my promise that I always ended up hurting you.On the night of Gail's 19th birthday, I caused you another painful torment.At first, I was the one who was in deep pain, heartlessly caused by Gail and unexpectedly, by you. You broke my heart when you told me to leave because I thought you believed that I had stolen Gail's gold necklace.Even though my teary eyes had already been giving in, I kept telling myself that I should fight back my tears because I never wanted Gail to see
