Novel & Cerita Promises We Meant To Keep

There’s no way he would! “I’ll think about it, Claire,” Kai smiled at her, patting her head. “You should because mom promised to stay here!” If Ellyse was shocked earlier, now she feels utterly embarrassed! Why would Claire say that?! Now she feels obligated to stay here even if Kai wouldn’t go to his damn business trip! “Claire, I said-“ She cut off her mom. “Righ mom? You promised!” Kai looked at her, and she immediately looked away. God, she wanted to be swallowed by the ground.

I couldn't stop worrying, so I refused to let her leave. Flustered, Rachel grabbed a random glass jar from the kitchen and handed it to me. "Joel, I promise I'll only go to Todd 99 times. Every time I leave, you drop a bean in this jar. When it gets to 99, you bring the jar to me, and I'll come home with you." Ever since then, that glass jar had become my most prized possession. But now, all the beans were gone. Rachel stared blankly at the empty jar, feeling just as empty on the inside.

I asked. Nicholas blinked, seemingly caught off guard by my tone. He went quiet for a moment before saying, "Look, you don't have to act like this. I haven't forgotten my promise. I know how much you love photography. I'll buy you a camera tomorrow, and you can use it when I take you to the concert." He actually thought I was just throwing a tantrum. And apparently, he remembered how much I liked taking pictures. I smiled. "There's no need for that, Nicholas. We should—"

“And you’re going to have a baby.” I nod, not trusting my voice. Catherine holds both our hands now, mine and Jeremy’s, and looks between us. “Take care of each other,” she says, and there’s urgency in her voice now. “Promise me. Take care of each other.” Jeremy’s face crumples. “Mom—” “Promise me, Jerry.” “I promise,” he whispers. Catherine looks at me. “He’s strong,” she says. “Stronger than he thinks. But he needs people. He needs love. He acts like he doesn’t but he does. Don’t let him push you away.”

And everything in between. We had survived Monroe’s wrath. We had uncovered truths that shattered the past. But for the first time, I believed we could build something new from the ruins. Together. End of Chapter 108

It was in this tranquility that we made a promise to each other—a promise to leave the past behind, to embrace the present, and to build a future rooted in trust, compassion, and unwavering devotion. As the stars began to twinkle in the evening sky, we shared our dreams, our aspirations for the life we would create together. We spoke of laughter and joy, of overcoming obstacles and celebrating victories, and of the family we hoped to build—one that would be bound not by blood, but by the unbreakable ties of love. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, as we forged ahead, leaving the shadows of our past firmly behind us. We faced new challenges with a renewed sense of strength and res

So now that I knew about Cecelia, he could forget about holding onto hope. I'd made myself clear. Whatever love we'd had? Completely gone—buried under the weight of my hatred. Neil finally sighed, his voice breaking. "I can't give you everything. If I do, my family's ruined. SchmidtCorp will collapse. I can't let that happen." "Then I'll see you in court," I said flatly. I glanced at Maya, who gave me a quick nod. We were done here. No point dragging this out. I stood to leave.

"Remember when you asked me in Finholm what I wished for? I wished for your dreams to come true, and to see you bounce back!" Jace liked gentle and compliant women, so I hid my sharp edges. Little did I know that as I forced myself to fit into those shoes, I was wounding my own heart. My dreams and wishes became luxuries I no longer dared to want. But now, Clement said he liked my genuine self. I couldn't help but feel bashful. … After I started following my dream again, Dad kept saying he wanted to retire every day. "My daughter is the best there is! I want to travel with your mom, so I'll leave the company in your hands."

I guess that's what happened to us. Nothing lasts forever and I am happy that I got to share some wonderful memories with you, but that's what we had will ever be a memory. You will find someone someday who you will love more than you ever loved me or you may even have already found her. Please promise me that you will never throw her away like you did to me, that you will cherish her. Don't make the same mistakes Jonathan.

Every night, when passion brought them close, she would lie in his arms, gaze at the tattoo, and ask him what it meant. He had hesitated, as feelings of fondness and longing washed over him. “It’s faith. A faith more important to me than my own life.” Back then, Valerie didn’t know that the letters represented Camilla Baldwin. Valerie had naively believed his words, accepting them without question. She saw his dreams as her own and adopted his faith, even going as far as to get an identical tattoo. Now, looking back on those memories, Valerie didn’t feel pain anymore—only a kind of bittersweet humor.
