Chaos erupted.The sales girls screamed, attracting the attention of more passersby. For a moment, I was lost at what to do, my hands trembling as I held Mom to stop her body from hitting the ground. A quick first-aid didn’t work to revive her. I had to take her to the nearby clinic where they administered injections and drips.In just a few hours, Mom seemed to have aged more. She sat on the bed with the drip still on her hand, her eyes dazed and lost. “Mom…” Unable to form any words to comfort her with, I held her hand gently. Mentioning what happened just now might not be a good idea. She’d had a high BP, and reminding her of the dilemma might worsen it. “Tomorrow… tomorrow’s the wedding,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. “What am I gonna tell them? How can I cover all the expenses and repair the damages?”“Mom, stop thinking about that.” I sighed. “I’ve explained everything to them. They’ll understand. As for the money, I’ll shoulder the responsibility.”“No…” M

“That’s enough, Grandma.” Dave stepped between us, spreading his arms to shield me from the woman. “It’s not a crime to love someone. Since Theo has turned a new leaf, and Mommy has decided to love him again, that’s her own business, isn’t it?”“You!” Mom pointed at him. “What do you know about love? With your young and impressionable mind, I believe you don’t know what your mother is even doing.”“I’m sorry if I’ve come at the wrong moment, Mrs. Barton.” Theo came forward and took my hand, squeezing it gently. “I regret how I treated your daughter in the past, and I’m truly sorry. You can take out your anger on me, but please leave Olivia alone.”“You!” The woman’s face turned red. She was literally jumping in fury. “Fine! Don’t move from that spot. I’ll surely take out my anger on you. You’re heartless and shameless. Don’t you feel guilty for tricking my daughter again?”Mom was so ready to take out her anger on Theo. She grabbed the frying pan from the floor, about to attack him wi

“Great. You'd better get started, because I’m starving and there’s no food in the house. Go to the kitchen and make dinner!”At Mom’s instruction, Theo’s eyes widened for a split second. “Hurry up!” She added. “I give you ten minutes to get the food ready.” With that said, Mom picked up the broken wall-clock and went to her room. Theo stood up as well. He didn’t waste a second and was already rolling up his sleeves. “What are you doing?” I frowned. He wasn’t going to enter the kitchen to make dinner, was he? Besides, Mom and I ate at a restaurant before coming home. Dave also had something to eat because there was leftover food which he must have microwaved. “We’re not really hungry. Mom didn’t mean what she said.”“It’s okay. I still have to cook to make her happy,” Theo replied, his expression turning calm as if he’d figured a way out. Does he really know how to cook?“You don’t have to do those tasks, Theo.” I stood up, blocking his path as he turned for the kitchen. “You know w

Theo once stated something similar. Am I really afraid of falling for him? There’s no doubt that I hope Ethan returns someday. But how long will it take for him to come back? What if he never returns?“Anyway, I gotta go. Need to speak with my designer about changing the wedding dress’s color to red. Have you seen a red wedding dress before, Olivia?” Bonnie cackled as if cooking up a sinister plan. “Adios. Will talk to you later.” She waved her hand and ended the video call, leaving me contemplating what she said. I can’t deny it. She might be right. Maybe those are actually my fears. Why am I afraid of falling for Theo? Is it because I have a strong feeling that Ethan will eventually come back?“Olivia, are you in there?” A knock sounded from the door, interrupting my thoughts. Hearing Theo’s voice, I put the phone away and stood up from the bed, wondering what he wanted. Maybe he finally needs my help with something he couldn’t handle and wouldn’t admit that he could not. But

“Right. Our friendship will never end.” I smiled, returning my gaze to the sky. “But wait… don’t you have other friends as well?”“We’re not very close,” he replied. “You’re the only one I feel comfortable to share everything with. To put it simply, you’re like my best friend.”“Oh…” Warmth enveloped my heart. My smile widened. “Reminds me of Bonnie. She might be tough and crazy sometimes, but she’s the sweetest person I’ve ever met. She helped me overcome most of my challenges. Without her encouragement, I might not be here today.”“Mm,” Theo hummed in agreement. “I can tell that she’s very protective of you as well. She’s indeed a true friend.”Yeah. Bonnie is very protective of me. She’d stood up for me most of the time and even got into fights for my sake. How did he know, though?As if reading my thoughts, Theo continued. “Remember Mike Kensington? She once stormed our booth at a bar and threatened to end his life if he didn’t stop stalking you.”Oh, Mike! How could I forget that
