Chapter 301

SARA’S POVThe restaurant was a very upscale one.Even if I didn’t know about places like this, the valet service and the soft lighting, decorations and ambience of the place, the furnishings and all of that was enough for me to be able to tell that it was a very expensive one.My eyes flicked to Danielle.Hadn’t she said she was the one who picked out this place.She sure had expensive taste like her father. I would have said grandmother but Derek’s mother, Bethany, had a taste I considered over the top sometimes whereas Derek’s was…perfect.The entire way here, I had felt like I was in a simulation that I had been forced into against my will and the whole drive, I didn’t make a peep.Danielle, thankfully, had decided to focus her attention on Derek and all her questions were directed towards him.There were times she asked me questions I deemed difficult and that I thought Derek wouldn’t answer but he did each time and every time he did that, I found myself staring at him.This was

Chapter 302

SARA’S POVOur wine arrived first, and then a fruit juice for Danielle who didn’t hesitate to open it up.She would have taken a sip directly from the carton but I snatched it from her before she could.“What have I told you about this?” I chastised, giving her a hard glare.She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth, “sorry, Mommy.”I didn’t dwell on it but reached for a glass instead and poured one for her.She took it with a small smile while I set it down, only to find Derek watching me.It was that same look from earlier, the one I couldn’t understand nor decipher.I cleared my throat and he averted his gaze while I closed the juice and leaned back in my seat, suddenly wishing there was something else to do so I wouldn’t have to be discomfited by the silence.Unable to stand it for longer than a couple of minutes, I cleared my throat for the upteenth time today then blurted out without thinking twice, "Thank you for luck today.”“You should say that to Danielle,” Derek nudged his h

Chapter 303

THIRD PERSON’S POV It was only a couple of minutes, he had only spent a few minutes on his phone but within those minutes, Danielle was already fully asleep, curled slightly against the cushioned seat.He hadn’t even seen when she had done that and the unamusing thing was that Sara was also asleep.He should have known when her head was slumped earlier, that she would fall asleep soon enough but at the same time, he didn’t think she actually would.Nor did he think that Danielle would fall asleep so fast too.Derek didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the sight.He stared intermittently at the both of them for a couple of minutes, confirmed that neither of them would wave up then came to a decision.Quietly, he signaled the waiter to approach with the bill, signaling for him to be quiet.Before the waiter could set it down, Derek reached for the bill folder and slid his card inside.Quickly he made payment then dismissed the man after the receipt was signed.Once the waiter was gon

Chapter 304

THIRD PERSON’S POVThe house was quiet when they arrived.Derek pulled into the driveway then turned off the ignition but kept the headlights on.Being that everyone was out, there was no one to receive them and the quiet driveway was the kind that would spook fear in the heart of a child home alone.Every sound was amplified, from the click of the car door as he unlocked it, to the quiet jingle of his keys when he turned off the ignition.He could even make out the rustling of his clothes and when that happened, he glanced to his side, then backwards, trying to see if he had woken either of them.He hadn’t, but a couple of minutes later, Danielle stirred without the noise.Slowly, she leaned forward in her seat to take a peek out the window, rubbing at her eyes hard.“We are home?” She mumbled, voice hoarse and barely audible from sleep.Derek nodded, “Yes, we are.”He got out of the car quietly after, then headed over to the backseat, pulling the door open with equally gentle moveme

Chapter 305

SARA’S POV My head hurt when I woke up, not really bad but just enough to remind me that I had taken more glasses of wine than I should have.I had crossed my tolerance threshold and the implication was the faint ache that thrummed through my head.Slowly, I blinked, trying to adjust my vision to the flood of light in my room.It was just normal, natural lighting, and I shouldn’t have had any problem seeing nor should I have had a need to squint but my head throbbed too hard not to.My mind trailed back to the events from yesterday, to what I was supposed to be a harmless dinner with Derek.And, harmless it had been or so I thought but why was my recollection of the rest of the night so foggy?Pushing off my bed with my arms that felt like jelly, I sat up, trying to recollect the rest of the details I’d missed from last night.The last thing I could remember as laughing with Danielle at first but then, it slowly came to me.Derek had come to sit next to me, he’d helped Danielle open

Chapter 306

SARA’S POV After downing the cup of tea that Derek made, which surprisingly did help with my headache, I reached for a glass of water to alleviate my thirst.Derek was gone, the next step in my day was preparing breakfast for Danielle.I still didn’t know what time it was but seeing as Derek was still home, I surmised that it was still early, not until I actually checked the time and realised that it was nearly noon.No wonder Derek had said he was going out.I didn’t just sleep in, I had slept through nearly half of the day already.My thoughts snapped to work and my face fell when I realised that I might have to call in sick or make up some excuse for my absence.Also, Danielle was supposed to be in school.Why hadn’t Derek taken her?He wasn’t here so I asked Danielle herself who said, “Mommy, Daddy said I could stay at home today,”That answered my question but it didn’t help my knotted brows.Why did he say that? Was it because of me? Because I didn’t wake up early enough?I had

Chapter 307

THIRD PERSON’S POVThe Ford’s estate was exactly as the last time Derek was here and the last time he remembered.Nothing about its grandness nor affluent decorated vibe had changed.It was like every other house that belonged to a wealthy family, intimidating in a way that didn’t need announcement.One didn’t even have to think to know that it was a wealthy family that lived here.The tall iron gates automatically made way for him when Derek’s car approached it, operated by a security personnel who stood within a tower-like building, glancing down from above.The driveway was long and curved and shrubs and flowers, lush, green, bright, vibrant, all showing adequate care line the driveway.He got to the main entrance only to see a line of staff already waiting out front to receive him, a ritual he seemed unnecessary.It wasn’t his first time here, he knew his way around but Mrs Ford just had to make a scene each time he came here.He parked at the main entrance then got out of the car

Chapter 308

THIRD PERSON’S POV Alyssa’s Father didn’t outrightly say who those words were meant for but because of how it was worded and the red to bring it up in the first instance, as well as judging by Alyssa’s reaction to it, Derek solved the puzzle immediately.In retrospect, Mr Ford was telling him the gala would be the perfect time and place to propose marriage to his daughter.Moreover, the way he said it made it sound like he had already decided on it and was just waiting to tell him so he could carry it out.Slowly, Derek alternated his gaze back to Alyssa who didn’t look at him.He couldn’t tell if it was because she couldn’t bear to or if it was because she didn’t want to catch his expression.Either way, she kept her eyes on her father and when Derek glanced down, he noticed how tightly wound her fingers were together.“Imagine the picture it’ll paint publicly,” Mr. Rhodes continued with a prideful town. “Two established families, two legacies merging together to become one.”Derek

Chapter 309

THIRD PERSON’S POV By the time Sara pushed open the glass door that led into Bricks’ Cafe, she told herself two things.One, she would not let her conversations with Rina progress to become entirely about her relationship with Derek and Two, she would not react dramatically to anything Rina had to say, no matter what it was.It was safe to say she failed terribly at both of her resolutions.Rina was already inside, seated at a table, obviously waiting for her, but impatiently.Sara figured this out the moment she walked in and saw her tapping her fingers against the edge of the table.It was something Rina always did whenever she couldn't wait to get her words out and this only served to further heighten Sara’s curiosity as to what might have happened.The moment she saw Sara, she straightened in her seat and exhaled in relief, “I’ve been waiting forever.”“Rina, you called me Fifteen minutes ago, that doesn’t amount to forever,” Sara mused.“Whatever, you still didn’t get here fast

Chapter 310

SARA’S POV Rina’s question reverberated in my ears long after we parted ways.“If Derek does end up proposing at that gala, how would you feel?”I hadn’t given her an answer, not an appropriate one. I just said something to get her off my back, something as simple as- “I’ll deal with it when the time comes.”That was what all I said and I left it at that even though she didn’t look convinced that I had the capabilities to ‘deal with it.’Thankfully, she didn’t press and let it go. We finished our Drinks, paid then stepped out of the cafe to head home.Well, I headed home.She on the other hand, said something about wanting to pay a visit to her cousin so she headed off in the opposite direction.However, one thing I also couldn’t get out of my mind was how tightly she hugged me before we departed and this hug lingered because it wasn’t the usual kind we shared. It was the rarer type that said a lot and nothing at the same time.By the time I reached home, the house looked exactly the
