Chapter 121_ Forgive Him

Bob turned to Briella, nodding his head toward the door. "Go check who it is," he said.Briella nodded and stood up immediately, almost running to the door before flinging it wide open. She scowled when she saw that it was Ace. "It's you," she grumbled."Hey, kiddo." Ace raised his hands and ruffled her hair, making Briella's scowl deepen. He was always doing that to her, knowing very well that it annoyed her."Stop it," Briella hissed, slapping his hand away while Ace just winked at her. "Why are you here? Don't you always come back at night?" she fired, glaring at him.Both of them had always bickered since she had known him. That was because Briella was holding a grudge against him. After all, he had not been exactly pleased that Kate had come to her rescue that night, and she had also overheard Ace telling Kate that she looked suspicious and that Kate should be careful around her.Even though Ace had apologized for his initial assumption about her, Briella would not let it go easi

Kate's eyes glistened as she sat there, staring at the floor.Her heart was torn. She’d never been so confused about what to do before in her entire life. What was she supposed to do? Forget everything and forgive him? But could she really let go of the fact that Lucas had caused her parents' deaths?“Don’t tell me you're struggling to reach a decision?” Victor said, making Kate realize that someone was still with her and that she wasn't alone. “Lucas has never stepped inside his parents’ estate since he lost them, but he took you there to celebrate your birthday. Time and time again, he did something for you.”Kate's eyes descended on Victor as she looked at him. He continued, “Lucas has broken so many rules for you. He has chosen you over everything else, and do you know why? Because he really loves you. Even more than he loves himself. When I told you about his past, you felt sorry for him and didn't condemn him. Why do it now?”“How could you ask me that?” Kate hissed, her eyes gl

“Pull yourself together, will you?” Victor tried not to snap at Lucas as he talked some sense into him. “You could have any woman in the world if you wanted to. She’s just like any other woman, so why allow her to reduce you to this state?”Lucas’s jaw flexed as he looked up at Victor. “You know she’s not just any woman to me,” he gritted out, glaring at him. “If you don’t have anything better to say to me, then get out of here.”Victor sighed. Only God knew what Kate had bewitched him with, seeing that he couldn’t even talk badly about her. Since he couldn’t change Lucas’s feelings toward her, he might as well console him and convince him to leave the room.“All right.” He nodded. “Let’s not talk about her. Why don’t you get up from there and take a shower? You stink of liquor, man,” he added, scrunching up his nose in distaste.He didn’t get a response from Lucas. Victor narrowed his eyes as he thought of what he could say to get his attention. He smirked when something occurred to

“I can't believe you're eating that,” Briella muttered, wrinkling her nose.She watched as Kate dipped another apple slice into the soy sauce on her plate and ate it. She stared at the food, wondering if it actually tasted good or not.“My taste buds like it,” Kate replied, glancing at Briella before turning her gaze back to her food. She chewed and swallowed before continuing, “Take a bite and see if it is to your liking.”Kate stretched her hand toward Briella, holding out a slice of apple covered in soy sauce.“Ah. No, please,” Briella said, shaking her head as she shifted slightly away from Kate, afraid that Kate might suddenly force the food into her mouth. Even though she was curious to know how the food tasted, she was not crazy enough to actually try it.“Alright,” Kate said with a shrug and focused on finishing the food. When she was done, she placed the empty plate on the chair beside her, leaned back against the wall, and rubbed her stomach.She felt full and satisfied.Ea

"Am I going to be living with you?" Elizabeth asked Matteo, who was busy packing her belongings. She had been confined in the hospital for some weeks now and was finally getting discharged today.Matteo paused what he was doing and turned to her. These past few weeks, he had been the one taking care of Elizabeth and had accompanied her. During this time, their relationship had improved greatly and Elizabeth had come to depend greatly on him."Why? You don't want to stay in your house?" he asked instead of giving her an answer. He wanted to know if she would be comfortable staying with him and not just because he asked her to.Elizabeth lowered her head to her lap as she went silent for a moment. Then she said in a small voice, "No. I don't want to live alone."Matteo's heart ached for her as he watched her. She looked so small and pitiful. He felt the urge to shield her from the sadness he could see in her eyes and wrap her in his embrace.He dropped the bag in his hands and moved tow
