Chapter 20.2After he said that, he immediately ended the call. He didn’t even let me speak again.How could I not know about this? And who was that? Was that her boyfriend?! Why didn’t she tell me anything about it?Shut up, Eloise! You didn’t tell her anything either! Fair enough.I breathed heavily and decided to just let Catelyn be. If she wants to tell me about it, I know she will.I just texted Catelyn, even if it’s unlikely she’ll read it now—but I’m sure the guy she’s with will.To Catelyn:I don't know what's happening, but please, take good care of her.I continued drying my hair. After that, I lay down on the bed. I was so exhausted that I quickly fell asleep.It was still dark outside when I woke up from a deep sleep. I froze when I felt someone hugging me from behind, spooning me. I turned around—and was shocked to see Wyatt sleeping beside me.I thought he was coming home tomorrow? Why is he here?He stirred and slowly opened his eyes. A small smile escaped his lips when

Chapter 21.2"Ah, yeah! It would be such a waste, so I’ll just put this in the vase in our living room," I said. He smiled at me in return.I lost my focus on Carl when my phone vibrated again. I bit my lower lip, remembering that Wyatt called earlier and I forgot to answer.I glanced at Carl, who was also looking at me. I smiled at him sheepishly and pointed at my phone. When he nodded, I stepped away slightly and answered the call.Before I could even say anything, Wyatt’s deep, angry voice boomed in my ear from the other line. I don’t know why, but my heart started pounding fast, and I was nervous because of his tone.He was furious."Get in the car," he ordered sternly, as if trying to contain his rage.The phone was still pressed against my ear as I scanned the front of the building to look for his car. I spotted a black SUV — even though it was heavily tinted and it was my first time seeing it, I just knew it was his.I swallowed hard as an image flashed in my mind of how angry

Chapter 22.2As soon as we got out of the office, my heart instantly pounded with anxiety when I saw a familiar car parked not too far from where we were standing. And I wasn’t wrong—he got out of the car. I quickly averted my gaze and, without a second thought, pulled Carl away.I don’t know why he’s still showing up now. I already told him to leave, but he’s just so stubborn. I know I’m being immature for avoiding him right now, but can you blame me? I was just so hurt by what he did that even just seeing him brings pain to my heart.I can feel his eyes staring daggers at us, but I don’t give a damn. I just had too many expectations and assumptions about us—expectations that never should have existed in the first place. I forgot my boundaries just because something happened between us. I realized that it didn’t give me the right to feel even a little bit of pain, or to even be jealous in the first place.When Carl and I arrived at the eatery, we immediately looked for a table near t

Chapter 23.2I realized that someone as strong as Cate is also broken inside—but that doesn't mean they're weak. Even if they always show a strong facade, they're still human, and they have feelings too. They've gone through all that pain alone, and the fact that they chose to move forward is already a brave act. But sometimes, they also need someone to reassure them that everything’s going to be okay. That they don’t have to go through all of it alone—that they can lean on the people who truly love them.In every silent battle, all they need is someone to stand beside them. To hold their hand and make them feel important, too.Cate and I talked for a few more minutes before she went home, only after making sure I was feeling better. I just went to my room and fell asleep.I woke up feeling dizzy. When I opened my eyes, everything around me was completely dark. When I looked to my side, I saw a shadow looming over me. Since I had just woken up and had slept for quite a while, I couldn

Chapter 24.2Am I really pregnant?Even though I was scared of the possibilities, I immediately called Catelyn to ask for help. “Cate…” “I’m coming over now.” I blinked rapidly as I stared at the two pregnancy tests placed on top of the sink. My hands trembled as I reached for the box and read the instructions, even though Catelyn had already explained it to me earlier. One red line. Negative. Two red lines. Positive. After we talked earlier, she volunteered to buy the tests and left me alone at the apartment. I was just staring blankly the whole time, lost in thought about all the possible outcomes if—if I'm really pregnant, just like what Catelyn suspected. “Loise?” I turned toward the bathroom door when Catelyn knocked from outside. After giving me the pregnancy tests earlier, I had told her to wait outside. “Uh…” I cleared my throat before answering, “W-what is it?” “You know what you’re supposed to do, right?” she asked nervously, clearly trying to stay strong f
