All Chapters of Too Late For Us, Mr Ashford : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Elena. There was nothing anyone could say that would stop me from thinking that my son needed to be moved out of here but first I had to Honor my part of the agreement. I had promised that I was going to make everything good, and if I was going by that, I didn't think that we should have any problem. "So... You want me to automatically make him your father when we are not yet sure where we stand?" I asked with a smile on my face even though I felt quite the opposite. It was an insult to me that he was not satisfied with everything that I had provided so far and if that was what he wanted then he was going to get it but I was not sure that he would like the outcome. "Mommy don't feel bad." I wanted to let out my genuine intention but realized that it would only have a negative effect on a boy that I was trying to help become a better person. "It's fine if you want him as your father but I'm only telling you this because I don't want you to get hurt nobody can act as your fa

Elena. Walking together with Marcus to get his head cleared was not what I expected to do the next money after sending Diego to school. But when he had specifically come to knock on my door and reminded me that we had some place to be, I knew that this was not a joke. We had to do this immediately. I texted Sarah just so she was aware of the fact that we would be heading over to her office today. Even though she had made some crazy comments that made me roll my eyes I found myself still wondering if there was a mixup somewhere. "Are you good?" He asked me stylishly making me wonder if I was even on the right track in the first place. If it was left for her I'm sure that she would find different ways just to make sure that I was always with him throughout the entire session which wasn't entirely bad but I felt like it was going to draw us even more closer than I wanted. "Yeah."Today I was wearing a green bandage dress because that was the only thing that I could find in My clos

Marcus.Dr Sarah knew her onions. That was my verdict after the entire session ended. There was only one person that kept getting into my head even when I tried to pretend not to be affected and it was Elena. Most times I tried to act as if I did not know that she hated me so badly that she would rather walk through hot coals than see me happy. From what I had gathered, I figured that I treated her badly and that was inexcusable but at the same time it put a lot of pressure on me. "Hey, are you okay?" Her soft angelic voice drifted towards me. I regarded her with a look that showed my doubts. Dr Sarah had also encouraged the same thing that Humphrey did but I felt like it was a waste of time and energy because how are we supposed to develop a bond just immediately?We had different reasons for what we did and life had torn us apart for five years. "You don't have to pretend to care about me." I brushed her concern off. It was only right that she pretended to be by my side or lo

Elena's POV. I forced myself not think about everything that I had heard but it ended up becoming more futile. Marcus was nowhere to be found. He was gone before the light of Day and I couldn't get a hold on him. Something kept telling me that there were a whole lot of things that I needed to know but kept pushing it back. Toby, on the other hand at intimated me with the new discoveries but none of them was able to suffice, instead, just pushed me farther. I thought about how this was supposed to work. How was I supposed to navigate my way around when he didn't look like he wanted me around? Deciding to make myself useful more than just thinking about what Marcus might be feeling, I headed over to Diego's room with only one intention. Take him to school. Every other work could be done from the house. I'm a second thought I figured out that I have not exactly met the cook. I wasn't sure if anyone around here like tomorrow enough so it was easier for me to prepare my food and

Elena's POV. The next day began like I had not just complained that there was an issue the previous day. I could have pretended to overlook it but that would be a huge disservice on my part. Toby was nowhere to be found and I guess that his boss must have read him to the filth and he decided to avoid me for his own good. I wasn't going to apologize for having it easy with a man that didn't want much but just loyalty. Marcus was at my door, with his head buried in his palm top, heading towards me until he heard me clear my throat. "Look who we have here." His attempt at playfulness made the entire atmosphere relaxing. There was no pressure from any end, but I wanted to know what he thought. "Toby hasn't given me the details that I was supposed to work with today." "Because I relieved him of his duties and you would be taking over." This was a huge shock coming from him because how do I even explain that there were a whole lot of things happening all at once. "Did he d
