A Step Closer to Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

Kieran raced to the coffee shop. He parked and entered the cafe and walked to the counter. As he approached the counter he saw his mom sitting in one of the chairs. Her head was hung low as she fondled with her finger."Mom," Kieran said with a loud voice as she rushed to her and knelt before her.She looked up at him slowly, her face was flushed and her eyes looked a bit dim. She wanted to smile but all he saw was a kind of sadness."Are you her son?" Kieran turned to the direction of the voice. It was the same one he heard over the phone."Yes" Kieran said."Oh, you are very good-looking" the girl could not control herself. She could read the room that it was not the time to be complimenting him but she could not control herself. She was sure he could pass off as a celebrity without any issues."Thank you," Kieran said. "For watching myom and making sure she is safe" he added after a long pause causing the smile and her face to

"Everly," Ethan said as he saw her come down from the car. He did not know the direction to go to search for her so all he did was wait outside in the cold barefooted."Hey honey," she said and he was taken aback. She wanted to run away but she had to pretend in front of her child. He was not even young she wondered why she was doing all this for him."What?" he let out in a shriek. "You must have been worried" she said going to stand before him. "I got lost on my way out for a walk and I asked Kieran to come to get me, I guess I must be getting old seeing that I don't know how to tell directions again" Everly rambled."What are you doing?" Ethan asked with a fearful voice."Do you want Kieran to know what happened? Just play along" she said in a hushed whisper."Oh," he said with no voice as he nodded. He knew he was in the wrong but he had to make sure to keep this away from him.He wanted to apologize but he didn't s

Kieran took the meal his mom made and left the house after ensuring that she was fine. He knew something was wrong but he could not place his hands on them and since both his parents were hiding the truth from him, there was nothing he could do about it."Mom said I should give this to you" Kieran said dropping the bag of food on Arabella's table.Arabella looked up at him. His face was in his usual scowl as if he was just back from fighting a bear."What?" she asked. She did not understand what the bag was. They were only a few minutes to lunch break so why was he coming into the office with a food bag after storming out earlier?"I went home and Mom said I should give this to you" Kieran said gesturing to the bag."You went home?" she asked. "Yeah," he said nodding before awkwardly walking away."What's that?" Chole asked rolling her chair closer to Arabellea's table."Kieran's mom sent me lunch" Arabella res

The sound of a cup hitting the ground made Kieran and Arabella pull their gaze away from each other to the door where the entire team was watching them.Arabella was still in Kieran's hand as he held her to himself. She struggled to get out of his grip when he reluctantly let her go."What's going on here?" Aurora asked bursting through the door into the office."I was about to fall and he caught me" Arabella said quickly. She was not going to spark up any rumours. Their earlier position was not good for her and she keeping quiet and refusing to explain anything would only put her in more harm."Oh," Aurora said. She had not been able to clearly see the position they were in. Arabella let out a sigh of relief as Aurora walked to her office. Kieran turned away without any word. The office workers watched him get into his office with his packed food still in his hands. Chole bent down to take the cup from the ground. She was lucky the cup did not spill open when it fell.Chole waited ti

Arabella looked up to see unfamiliar lights It was as if she had been transported to a different location than the city she was living in.She looked around as her eyes landed on a mysterious structure that resembled one that belonged to an amusement park. She tried to turn on her phone but she noticed that it was switched off.After her conversation with her sister, she decided to take a walk around before getting home but her mindless walk soon landed her in a location that was dry like the desert. She could not even call a cab even if she wanted to. The ships with their street light that illuminated her path were all shut tight. She found the nearest bench and sat on it. It was when she sat down that she noticed that her legs ached from walking around. She checked out her wristwatch and saw that it was almost ten. She sighed because she knew that invariably she was stranded. She looked around as fear gripped her, if there were any passersby then she would have had someone to ask
