To Love You Again, My HusbandChapter 16: Attracted To YouJackson opened the door for her with a grin on his face. He spoke in a happy tone, “If I could take you home just like this, it’d be a blessing to me.”She randomly pushed him out of her way and then gave him five dollars as a fee for taking her to the place she was going. Before Jackson could even say anything, she had already gone inside the restaurant.At exactly seven in the evening, she had already arrived at the meeting place. All she had to do was wait for the other party to show up to confirm whoever was making money out of her pieces. It was hard to make a meetup with that person so Airina made sure she would make her or him pay.While scrolling on her phone, a knock came on the table. She looked up to see Linda, her stepmother smiling widely at her. She had expected Nicole to appear in front of her, but it seemed that the mastermind who decided to sell her pieces was Linda. She was also the person who was optimistic
To Love You Again, My HusbandChapter 17: PerturbedAirina sighed. She had been hearing nonsense ever since he kept pestering him – as if he really wanted her. But it had been a long time, ten months. Ten months were enough to feel that derailed thoughts of her. Because of his cheating issue with Nicole, she promised to prove to herself that she couldn’t be belittled anymore. She had also tried to make sure her heart wouldn’t sway by the same person again.This man just doesn’t know when to stop. If he wanted something, he’d definitely do every means to have it. But would he succeed in having her?She smirked, exhaling deeply.“I see”, she placed her sling bag on the cushion, “You must have a lot of free time in your hands to usually visit me.”“No. Rather, I wanted to do so. I make time for you.”Airina let out a mocking laugh. “You do? What a good plan you’re having.” She then headed to the kitchen, reheating the food she had cooked early in the morning. It was a simple stir-fried p
To Love You Again, My Husband Chapter 18: Hate Every Bit Of You As soon as they stopped beside a restaurant where it was the only place for four-wheeled vehicles to park, the driver had to park there and for the rest, they needed to walk. Airina half-embraced herself then a coat from Jena was draped on her shoulder. Airina felt that having an assistant wouldn’t be that bad, actually. Jena anxiously asked, “Mam, you’re not going to suicide here, are you?” Airina bewilderedly looked at Jena, who glanced at the driver who nudged her with an awkward clear of his throat. Jena pursed her lips, learning that she had asked an unsettling question. Honestly, nothing was out of place since it was quite common for people who came from lower backgrounds to be intimidated. When she first saw Matthew, Jane regarded him as a good person – kind and courteous. While Airina exuded intimidation and coldness, it was as if she was the CEO and not a shareholder. Well, the most intriguing part was the fac
To Love You Again, My Husband Chapter 19: Genuineness Jackson, in astonishment, touched his cheek confusedly. He only wanted to make sure she was well and wanted to take care of her since of what had happened to her father. But she had slapped him without presenting evidence as to why. Did he do something wrong? He was considerate enough not to get upset due to her consistent harmful words. However, what she did was unforgivable. Why was she mad at his appearance? He staggered, balancing himself to stand straight, and then slowly turned his head at her, intending to confront and yell at her. But his plan was demolished upon witnessing her despondent expression, and a glum written all over her face. He widened his eyes, as his heart thumped in frantic and anxious. First and foremost, she had already slapped him yet why was she still crying? Was it because of her father? But he will do anything to help her, hence she doesn’t need to shed tears since he felt it was unnecessary. No, ra
To Love You Again, My HusbandChapter 20: Leave, and SorryEvan linked his hands looking at Jackson weirdly. He wasn’t comfortable being alone with him but all he could do was roll his eyes in correspondence of his emotion. In a nutshell, Airina was outside making a call to Matthew, so the three men were left in that seemingly big room.Kevin, their father, looked over at Jackson.“Thank you for your visit. I couldn’t be more joyful to see your face again. It had been quite a long time…”Jackson faintly smiled, “It’s fine. It is the most I can do for what you did to me and… Airina.”Kevin quirked his brows and chuckled softly. When he had been informed that his daughter and Jackson divorced due to his cheating affair, he had a mental breakdown since he thought Jackson was a good man. However, seeing him taking care of him the whole night while Airina rested, was odd. It wouldn’t come off strange if they hadn’t gotten through a divorce but their ties had ended the moment Jackson decide
To Love You Again, My HusbandChapter 21: Happiness Is Also a SadnessLinda seriously looked over at Airina, who half-hugged herself. It was clear that she was dejected at the state of her father, adding the fact that Linda didn’t even apologize to her. In fact, Linda was too proud of her doings. On the contrary, Nicole was upset that rather than them taking care of her father, it was Airina and Evan – these two lowly peasants.She clenched her fists, focusing her gaze on Airina. She spoke with restraint, “How did my father become this? I am sure he hadn’t done laborious things to be seriously hospitalized like this.”Airina just responded as a courtesy. After all, Kevin is their father, so she shouldn’t be too hard about this topic.“He has heart palpitations. The doctor informed me that his condition had been prolonged, so why are you asking me when I don’t know anything?”Nicole scoffed in skepticism, mocking her. “You never once visited Father after you got married and divorced. S
To Love You Again, My Husband Chapter 22: Thinking About You Wendy instantly paused; it was clear that the mother-daughter pair came to a halt as soon as Airina’s words fell in the air. Airina gulped. After a long silence, Wendy interjected with a sigh. [“I don’t think I can do that, Rina”], She leaned her head on the bed, glancing at her husband, Felix, who overheard their conversation. [“Ahem, I can’t face him calmly, as well as… Felix.”] Airina’s eyes flickered in both disappointment and relief. Though she doesn't know why, she licked her lower lip, faintly smiling. “Papa is very challenged this time. I won’t force you but if you can visit with stepfather, it wouldn’t be that bad.” Wendy nodded her head in comprehension. [“I understand, I will discuss it with Felix, alright?”] “Of course. Then, I won’t disturb you any longer. I will call you when he’s better, what do you think?” [“That would be fine."]*** The doctor placed his stethoscope inside his deep-brown bag after
To Love You Again, My HusbandChapter 23: Not To DwellEvan stared at his sister, who was darkly staring at her phone. Specifically, to someone’s number which hadn’t yet been saved in her phone. It would have been fine if she had stared at it for merely ten minutes, but it had been one day. He couldn’t stand her acting that way since it was uncanny. Airina rolled her tongue inside her mouth and then tilted her head.Evan folded his arms, “So who is the owner of that number?”“Jackson”, she thoughtlessly responded, and it was already too late to take that back. She regained her senses and awkwardly scratched her cheek. Jackson has been in her mind for the whole day. At night, when she tried to sleep, his smiling face would pop into her mind, and she’d jolt out from her drowsiness. Strangely, she didn’t feel a grudge about it, rather it felt unfair that she was the only one who felt that way.“I… just called him to inform him about our Pa.”Evan frowned, “What for? Papa shooed him away
