BLISSFUL REBIRTH のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Ken’s POVI’m on my way home and surely none of them knew that I was here. I rushed to come back since no one of them planned to tell me what was happening. The truth is, they never told me that the partnership was canceled. I just accidentally found out through our family lawyers and I don’t want to tell Chelsea about that to keep her from overthinking and blaming herself after I went this far just for her sake.In the end, I’m glad that she made up her mind and decided to accept my proposal. I wanted to burst out in happiness that finally she didn’t reject me and the fact that were getting married, how nice would that be? to be marrying the girl that you’re in love with but in the end, I realized that this would be all business and I will be contended to be doing this to help her and her family.I arrived home and the first one I see is Adrian. He’s outside and obviously, he’s waiting for me.“What are you doing here?”He’s at my house, not at our house.“Someone’s waiting for you i

Chelsea’s POV“Dad, can you drive a little faster? I’m late with my appointment”I have been complaining about how slow Dad is driving but he wouldn’t listen and keeps on saying…“Safety is very important”I wonder if he also drives like this when he’s alone. I decided not to talk and let him drive.“That kid amazes me…”“Who?”“Ken… the way he makes his decisions reminds me so much of Dale”“You think I made the right decision?”“Only you can answer that”“What do you think Dale would feel that I am getting married?”“Dale, he’s kind and very understanding. He’ll get hurt but he’s not the type who’ll hold grudges against someone”“You think so?”“More than anyone else, you know him very well”Somehow, I was relieved to get those assurances from Dad.[SIGH]“We're here”I drown in my thoughts that I didn’t notice we’d arrived at the meeting place. I rushed to get out of the car.“Bye, Dad! See you at home later. Drive safely”I hurriedly went in and found the person I was about to mee

Dale’s POV“Are you nervous?”Stacey looked anxious. We’re inside the courtroom and it hasn’t started yet.“Yeah,” she’s breathing hastily.I reached for her hand and tried to calm her.“Everything is fine. You just have to tell what you knew”“Okay”Slowly, she’s calming down. I look on the other side and Zae’s mother doesn’t look fine. She must be anxious, especially for the fact that this will be controversial once people learn the truth about her.“Please rise. The Regional Trial Court, Branch 04 is now in session, the Honorable Judge Samuel Marquez presiding.” It has started. This is it. I am one step closer to getting justice for Zae.“Thank you, you may all be seated. Call the case.”“Your Honor, today's case is Criminal Case No. L-10873 People of the Philippines vs. Marissa C. Garza.” “Is the prosecution ready?” Our attorney stood and answered that he was ready.“Is the defense ready?” The defense attorney answered the same.“We will now hear the opening statement from the

Chelsea’s POV“I’ll wait for you downstairs at the cafeteria,” Ken told me.“Sure”He’s all dressed up and ready while I’m just about to do my makeup. This won’t take long anyway. I’m also excited for today because we will be hopping onto museums. Yes! He let me decide where we would be going and he just agreed on it.After I was done, I headed downstairs and I found him waiting at the table with the food already served. We began to eat so we could leave as early as possible and utilize our entire day visiting good places here in Paris.I did the routing going to the first location that I extracted. The most visited museum in Paris, the Louvre Palace. As we reached the place, the first thing we saw is the glass pyramid situated in the center of the palace. It serves as the entrance for visitors.I was taking a picture of its exterior when I heard Ken speak.“You want me to take the pictures for you so you can enjoy looking around?”“Are you sure?”“Of course,”I think that was a good

Chelsea’s POV[ONE MONTH LATER]“Are you sure that you can manage to travel?”“Yeah. Can’t you see? I am walking and I feel better” I replied trying to convince him.“It’s not recommended for you---”“Please?”“You’re making pretty eye again. You know I’m so weak with that”“Pretty please?”“Grr, you’re stubborn. Fine.”I did a victorious smile after winning a request. Although traveling is not too risky for me he was worried that I might feel something on the plane however the doctor says that it’s possible as long as I take enough precautions on it. As much as he wanted to stay a little longer until I recovered, I kept on insisting every day to go home. We’ve been staying here for months and I felt like a total burden to him.I was sitting on the bed while he was cleaning the room and it took me back to all the realizations that I had these past few weeks while I was in the hospital. He’s been doing all the stuff and work that he has never done before. He would run to the laundry ho
