All Chapters of No Tomorrow for Our Old Dreams: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Just as I had expected, Nathan never came home for the entire night. Yet, when I turned over and felt the cold on his side of the bed, I still couldn't stop my heart from aching.A series of rapid knocks sounded at the door, every knock louder than the last.I went over to answer the door, and Robert Wiley, the butler, simply glared at me with contempt."Mrs. Galloway Senior wants you to bring the kid to Galloway Manor."Marina Boyle, Nathan's grandmother, had never liked me and always looked down on me. No matter how much I explained things to her about my co-parenting arrangement with Nathan, she refused to accept it and simply treated me as a promiscuous prostitute who hated the idea of settling down.She also looked down on Theo.And since Nathan's family all treated me with disrespect, naturally, the butler and maids in the household also looked down on Theo and me.When I arrived at Galloway Manor, I realized that all of the Galloway relatives were also present.Nathan, w

Joy immediately filled my heart. I showed Theo the text message on my phone and exclaimed, "Look, Teddy! Your dad remembered!"Theo, who'd been hanging his head earlier, snapped his head up as a huge, happy smile graced his lips."Daddy must have prepared a lot of presents for me, Mommy! Let's go! Hurry!"Theo was so excited with Nathan's response that he wouldn't stop chattering all the way there, wondering out loud what presents Nathan had probably prepared for him.However, as we reached Galloway Manor, the yard full of roses had my heart squeezing all of a sudden.This was not the typical birthday decoration for a kid's birthday party.However, Theo didn't seem to have noticed and excitedly tugged me into the venue. I had no choice but to follow him with a heavy heart, getting more and more anxious by the second.Nathan had better not have done anything that would completely destroy our relationship and render it unsalvageable.Theo caught sight of Nathan standing next to t

Third-person POVNathan listened to the cold dial tone on the phone, his brows furrowed. He impatiently urged his driver, Edgar Duffy, to hurry up."Can't you drive faster than this? It's not like the Galloways can't afford to pay the fine for running a couple of red lights!"Edgar wiped away the sweat on his forehead and said, his smile awkward, "It's not that I don't want to hurry, Mr. Galloway, but there are just too many people on the road today because of Valentine's Day! Can't you see that the traffic is just horrible?""Wait, it's Valentine's Day today?"Nathan echoed in complete shock.It was supposed to be the anniversary of his engagement to Joanne Huber that day, but he'd forgotten all about it.He'd thought that he would just go home to her after the wedding today to comfort her as usual. He'd come up with all sorts of reasons and excuses for her, but he never thought that Joanne and Theo would have already left him before he had the chance to say them.The other dr

Third-person POVThe car spun to a stop right in front of the villa.Nathan got down from the car, straightened his clothes, and put on his usual poker face.He thought to himself that he didn't mind coaxing Joanne again this time, but he was still going to put her in her place no matter what and teach her a lesson.She should never even have thought about trying to run away from home with Theo, and she certainly should never do it again next time.He pushed the door open, waiting expectantly for her to run straight into his arms.However, when the person in his arms looked up at him, he realized that it was Catherine instead.She was on the verge of tears."Nate! Where have you been all day? I thought that you abandoned me and didn't want me anymore…"She then broke down in sobs.Nathan frowned hard. He'd never thought that Catherine could sound so naggy and noisy. He pushed her off in frustration and went straight upstairs."Jojo…"However, there was no sight of Joanne an

The smiles on Theo's and my faces immediately disappeared as soon as we heard that Nathan was here.With how powerful and influential the Galloways were, I wasn't that surprised that he managed to find us so quickly.I dusted off the Melsh traditional clothing I was wearing and walked out, heading for the village entrance.Before I'd even reached the entrance, I could hear the mocking voices of the elderly ladies from afar."Wait, you're the man our Annie got engaged to? You don't look the least bit useful at all.""Yeah, exactly! He's not strong or tan, and he certainly isn't worth my second glance!""Really? Well, how many heifers would you pay for a man like him?""What? Heifers? I'm not paying more than a dozen eggs for someone like him, and that's me being extremely generous already!"Nathan's voice was cold and dark as he exclaimed, "How dare you women judge me like that like I'm an object! You're all out of your minds!"I don't want to argue with any of you. Go and tell
