Semua Bab Dear Ex-Wife; Will You Marry Me, Again?: Bab 151 - Bab 160

KATERINA “Sorry for the delayed response, I was in the bathroom.” Lucas apologised, running his hand through his damp hair.“It-It’s okay. I think I should be the one apologising for calling you this late.” I let out a small laugh so that the conversation couldn't sound awkward.Damn it! What was I thinking when I called at this hour of the night?Perhaps I should have waited till tomorrow to call him. I swallowed when I gave it a thought. And David's words echoing in my help wasn't helping at all. It only made me feel more words.“You can call anytime.” Lucas responded way too fast. Perhaps he noticed the war going on in my head or maybe, he saw it on my face. “I called to inform you that…I did it. We did it!” The corner of my lips curved into a small smile as I told him about the news.“I thought you should know since you helped with the designs.” I elaborated so that he would understand the reason behind my call.A big smile took over his features, his blue eyes shining bright.

KATERINA Releasing a deep sigh, I collapsed on the high backed chair and closed my eyes, letting them rest after spending the whole day staring at the papers and computer. Thanks to the heavens I was done with the day’s work. There wasn't that much work to begin with because Lucas took care of everything while I was away. To be honest, I was thankful for his help because I couldn't imagine the amount of work that would be waiting on my working desk if he wouldn't have stepped in to help. I pushed the chair back, standing up and headed to the water station, fetching myself a glass of water. I have been sitting for long hours and that wasn't good for my health. I walked to the furthest end of the office to have a good view of Aurelian city, the floor to ceiling glass wall working to my advantage. God, I couldn't believe there would come a time when I would need to leave all this behind

KATERINA After driving for what felt like forever, the car finally came to a stop before the massive gates. I drew a deep  breath, something twisting inside my chest. Hard to ignore.The gates were painted blue compared to the black painting when I left. The memories of the past surfaced. Hard for me to shut it down like I have always done.I recalled how Stephanie kicked me out with a smile on her face after my father’s death, holding a glass of wine in her right hand as she watched me from the balcony.I remembered how I begged her to let me stay. However, she didn't care that much about my plea. As if Lucas sensed my reactions, he turned to look at me, his eyes full of concern. I blinked back tears and nodded, letting him know I was ready.He nodded back in understanding, stretched his hand out of the window and entered the password which was my birthday, and the gates slid open. I took a deep b

KATERINA Sitting on the kitchen counter, I watched as Lucas prepared the meal for the two of us. The corner of my lips curved into a smile, hard for me to contain it. He looked a little serious, like a chef in a competition, careful with each stir and each spice.He was wearing clean fresh clothes, a white t-shirt and black shorts, and his hair was a little damp from the shower.Lucas talked to Andrew and he brought us essentials. Food and groceries, clothes, air bed and the beddings among other things.I freshened up as soon as we left the backyard. Since I didn't have anything to wear, Lucas lent me some of his clothes. A black shirt which smelled like him and black shorts, with big flipflops which felt somehow heavy on my feets.Andrew was so happy for me when he learned I had gotten back to my parents house. He seemed surprised too and I could tell he didn't know about it. Lucas kept the news from everyone so that he could surprise us. Well, I think his trick worked pretty good

My eyes never left Lucas, I looked at him as though we had just met after being away from each other for a thousand years. I was quietly looking for something… Honestly, I didn't know if I wanted him in my second life. There was this part of me that wanted to see him. But also, there was this scared part of me… I decided to push the disturbing thoughts at the back of my mind and focus at the moment. “Thank you for doing this for the kids and I. For us.” Lucas gazed at me, silence falling over us then heaved a deep sigh. I didn't want to be mean. I felt it was only right if I thanked him for all the trouble he went through to get the house from the woman. “I know I have not lived up to it but…” He paused, as though giving what he was about to say a deep thought. Being careful with the words. “I’ll do anything and everything to help. For you, for the triplets. That's the least I can do.”He said, his voice firm and held a promise. “I haven't been there for the past four years. F
