Chapter 92

“Hello, Kai,” It’s 10pm in the evening and Ellyse remembered promising Claire that her Dad will visit her tomorrow. Now, I’m she’s calling him to let him know. “How’s Claire?” That was the first thing he asked. “She’s doing good. I promised her earlier that you’ll come and visit her tomorrow, can you do that?” She croaked. There was silence at first before she heard him sniff through the other line. “Can I come any time? I’m planning to visit mom tomorrow,” He explained. “Well, we can visit her both tomorrow, if that’s okay with you?” She wanted to visit Victoria for the longest time, but she felt ashamed to do so. “Alright, I’ll pick you up?” He asked. “Yes, sure,” She agreed. “Alright, then,” The thought of saying goodnight felt weird to her, she felt uncomfortable for some reason.

“If you’re not planning to pursue things with her…then what are you exactly planning?” Ellyse couldn’t keep her mouth shut as they enter her car. The memory of what happened earlier remained in her mind and she couldn’t just brush it off. She’s not expecting anything from Kai, and yet the idea of him finally cutting ties with Agatha boggles her. “To be good at this whole co-parenting thing, Ellyse,” He stated as a matter of fact. She nodded, not wanting to say anything else despite her desire to ask more questions. How the hell did he come to that decision in the first place? Did he even mean it when he said that? For some reason, she couldn’t get herself to fully believed him—the years of history together makes it seem difficult for him to just let go of her that easily. After all, he risked the family just to have her again. “I just…I don’t believe it Kai. Your moth

“I was just wanted to say-“ “Dad! Look at this butterfly!” Claire called for her father. Both of their attentions shifted towards their daughter who had her index finger out with a butterfly sitting on top of. Kai looked at Ellyse first before walking over to her, meanwhile she was left watching both of them, dumbfounded. He wanted to say what? She thought. Whatever it may be, it must’ve been unimportant. He would be eager to tell her if it was—maybe he felt compelled to say something because of the moment. She sighed heavily and walked up to them, Claire was giggling while showing the yellow butterfly to them. After eating lunch, they went to Ellyse’s home so Claire could soend even more time with her father. On the other hand, she sat at the couch to watch them both. Her daughter bought half of her toys to her house so they were very much occupied with he

Kai slept at Claire’s room while Ellyse stayed at her own. She woke up extra early because Claire still had school the next day so she had to prepare breakfast. It was kind of weird not having housemaids helping her, but she’s slowly getting used to it. She rubbed her eyes before hopping off of her bed to walk to her daughter’s room. The sky was still very dark since it was 5 am in the morning. She slowly opened Claire’s room and saw the two of them sleeping soundly. Kai had his arms wrapped around their daughter which made her smile. Ellyse closed the door before tiptoeing to Kai, she tapped his shoulder lightly until he woke up. “Hey, morning, I’ll cook breakfast for us. Wake her up at around 5:30 and then bathe her. Her school uniform is inside her closet,” She told him. Knowing Kai, he was used to having their maids take care of everything for him, down to h

Chapter 96

Ellyse drove by herself when Kai left. The silence after both of them left her alone with her thoughts. She couldn’t stop herself from thinking about Agatha, and how their supposed meeting would end like. She hated how much it bothered her, and how it left her overthinking about things that shouldn’t even matter to her anymore. What appalls her is the fact that a part of her still believed Kai when he told her he’s finally ending things with her. From what she knows, she’s moved on from him. But seeing how she feels right now proves her wrong—how can she consistently love someone who’s consistently wronged, hurt, and betrayed her multiple times? She shook her head as tears started forming in her eyes. She set aside her feelings and forced herself to focus on driving until she arrived at her house. However, she wasn’t expecting to s

“I assume your conversation with her is something of significance for you to want to talk inside your office,” Ellyse stated firmly as Kai closes the door behind her. “I don’t want Claire to hear about it, as well as the housekeepers too,” He answered her before walking to his desk. His fingers were sprawled across the table as he looked at her, he sighed heavily before removing his eyeglasses and setting them down. “What did you two talk about then?” She tilted her head to the side. Both of them never bothered taking a seat. “Claire’s party, my mother…you,” He eyed her with such intensity that she had to look away to remain composed. “Me?” She asked. “Yes, you,” He sighs. “She said it was never her intention to ruin Claire’s party, along with what happened to my mom,” He told her. Ellyse finally look
