All Chapters of Bitter Marriage: The Missing Gleam in Their Eyes: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

 Dean half slammed his coffee cup onto the table, unable to contain his temper. They sat in a small cafe on the top floor of the building. The sound of gurgling water can actually calm the atmosphere, even with an artificial waterfall with a minimalist pond full of large koi fish that are even tame enough to pet their heads. But apparently it didn't work for Dean, he was furious with Adrian and the way he treated Kat, his cousin whom he loved very much.He just left her for reasons that couldn't be accepted with common sense. Even if the reasons were true, Adrian still had no right to leave Kat alone. He knew very well even though he wasn't in the same city as Kat, that Adrian used to be so weak because of his illness and that Kat had always been there for him with all her heart.Leaving Kat because his heart loves another woman? What a shit reason!Dean subconsciously pouted his lips contemptuously while imagining Adrian.“Do not be an

Adrian waited for three hours, but Diana didn't show up at the coffee shop where they liked to sit together, counting the rain. He had tried several times to call her cell phone, but it was off.The sky was getting darker and cloudy, while Adrian was getting worried. Finally after some deliberation, Adrian called Clarissa. Maybe she knew why Diana didn't come to their meeting, which had never happened before.“Helllo?” Clarissa's voice seemed cheerful on the other end. Adrian smiled in relief. Diana seems to be okay.“Clarissa, do you know where Diana is?”Silence, Clarissa seemed stunned on the other side. “Isn't Diana with you, Adrian? She said she wanted to go to the cafe where you promised to meet when we were on campus.”Adrian's heart thumped. “Clarissa, Diana didn't come to the meeting place. I've been waiting here for three hours.”“What?” Clarissa seemed really shocked. She

Kat felt her legs go weak so she stepped back and sat down on the sofa. Her face was deathly pale, much to Dean's dismay. He immediately sat down next to her and clasped her hands, trying to warm her hands which were suddenly cold as ice, secretly grateful that Kat didn't refuse. “I'm sorry I have to hurt you like this, Kat.”  Dean looked deeply at Kat. It hurt his heart to see the pain there, in Kat's eyes, knowing the truth about her. Hurting Kat was the last thing Dean wanted. He loved Kat; all he wanted was her happiness. However, to be able to love Kat without being blamed, Dean is forced to reveal all the truth, even though it will tear her feelings apart. “Really?” Kat frowned. “I'm not mom and dad's biological child?” Kat's fingers trembled, causing Dean to grip hers even tighter. “Uncle had an accident when he was young so he was unable to produce offspring,” Dean spoke carefully, his fingers squeezing Kat's gently. “Aunt does not want t

“Brandon's apartment?” Adrian looked at Diana's mother doubtfully. It was information Diana had never been told. Diana's mother glanced at Clarissa and Clarissa nodded her head. “It was Brandon's legacy to Diana. It was just that since the accident, she had never visited it at all. I think she's too sad to go there. The whole place holds memories of her and Brandon," Diana's mother continued later. Adrian was stunned. The place of memories of Diana with Brandon. He then wondered to himself. How about him? Can he go there and then see the place where Diana's memories were with Brandon, the private place she had with Brandon that she didn't even share with him? Suddenly Adrian felt jealousy that bothered his heart. A feeling of jealousy that made him feel like a third person, pushed outside the circle, alone. "I will be there." Adrian stood up, feeling his heart beat fast. "Hopefully she will be there." "Keep us informed." Diana's mother

After Adrian left, Diana moved, sitting on the favorite sofa while watching the raindrops begin to subside.It's for the best, she muttered to herself. One day Adrian will realize that what Diana has decided is for his own good.Adrian deserves to find a woman who loves who he really is, not a woman who doesn't even know who he loves now. Even though for some reason her heart hurts, it hurts and is tight, like a broken heart.Diana sighed, leaning back on the sofa. Then suddenly Adrian's last sentence before leaving rang in her head, suddenly appeared.You will get what you want, Diana, a world without me in it and I will take Brandon's heart with me. A bad premonition immediately overtook her, causing her to sit up straight with wide eyes, her heart pounding. Suddenly with fast steps, Diana grabbed her jacket and rushed out of the apartment, gasping for air and tears streaming down her face.Adrian! Diana called out, with all the horr
