Chapter 25
Another month passed so quickly that Savannah didn't realize it. They had gotten closer, so much closer for colleagues. The kids had been enrolled in kindergarten together.
It's like a routine for them, Charlie picking up the two from school at lunch and dropped them off at Savannah's house, or sometimes they stayed near Charlie's side, so the two wouldn't disturb any employees.This time, they stayed in the office. Savannah and Lucas had eaten lunch together as they entered the door of the building. The kids immediately run towards the two, making them let go of their clasped hands to catch the five years old.Savannah's face turned a bit red as she realized that they were still holding their hands together till the walk to the office. She nearly fell due to her being a little anemic, and Lucas had insisted to keep her on her feet by holding their hands together.It was also the first time she had seen him being a little nervous. He was rRelated chapters

They were sleeping on the rooftop. Dimmed light emanating from around them, creating a comfortable atmosphere as they gazed at the marvelous stars in the night.It's was very late, almost midnight. So, no wonder that Savannah and Lucas were the only two people awake right now. Charlie had been dead asleep in front of the television as soon as they finished the dinner. The delicious dinner was made by Charlie himself who cooked almost as good as a professional chef.The two kids, Amara and Adrian were sleeping near the two adults, joining them in stargazing, but fell asleep afterward, as soon as the warm blanket wrapped around their bodies.They were huddling together above a pretty wide mattress that Lucas had dragged with Adrian earlier. The silence was comfortable among the four. Savannah and Amara were in one blanket together, the older female was lovingly stroking Amara's hair.Lucas glanced briefly at the brown-haired woman, then he s

Lucas was in so much self-doubt after last night's confession. He couldn't sleep, his mind was filled with a lot of thoughts that kept on haunting him. Savannah was fast asleep with Amara in her embrace, Adrian beside the little girl.Amara, was she really her daughter? The question made him watched the two like a creep the entire night. He admitted that they got some similarities, the same color of eyes and hair. But, were those enough to prove that she was really her biological daughter?As much as Lucas wanted to deny it, they did act like mother and child in front of him. There was a little, faint hope in his chest that maybe Amara was adopted, and that those physical similarities were just a mere coincidence. He could just hope.Lucas wanted to ask the woman directly, but he wasn't so sure about that himself. Judged from the way she unnoticeably tried to hide the fact that Amara was her daughter and the condition where she unconsciously revealed

Lucas had hired some people to assist him in his attempt to find Sofia. For about five days, he had been trying to solve the puzzle of memory in his head, looking for any small hint that could lead him to her.A small house in the countryside where he used to live gave him a little hope. Wasting no time, Lucas had been sending someone to examine the house along with the elderly couple who lived there. From the person that he had hired, he got an address which he hoped could help him.The address was given by the elderly couple, who bought the house after Sofia's family moved away. The house wasn't far from where his mother lived right now. He could not visit her since he only sent someone to do the job for him.Lucas looked down at the notes in his hand, clutching the small paper in his hand so tightly as if he was afraid if he would lose it. It contained the address of Sofia's family after she moved away. He wished that her family would still live i

Lucas just felt that lately, there’s been a greater distance between him and his secretary. Savannah had gotten close to him the last few months, and in just a short amount of time, the distance grew again in between them.Much to Lucas’ dismay, lately he also noticed Andrew getting quite close to Savannah for his liking. His assistant had been hanging around her a lot.Just like right now, they were discussing the new project that possibly would be a tremendous benefit to the company. Savannah was standing beside Andrew around the table near where Charlie currently sat.Lucas stood in front of Charlie, subconsciously glaring at the two. It’s as if he wished Andrew to vanish into thin air to some place. He wouldn’t care if the man was freezing in Antarctica, or suddenly got on a date with the gorilla in the zoo. Whatever, as long as it put some distance between him and Savannah.The thought of Andrew having a

He was wearing a black suit, looking at the window in deep thoughts. Yet, in the silent atmosphere, he still couldn’t think straight. Something was bothering him.After some moments, Lucas sighed deeply. His body falling into the chair behind him. A few minutes passed as a frown decorated his handsome face.Lucas took off his suit, changing it into more comfortable clothes, a black T-shirt that was neither too tight nor too loose. At the same time, he gathered his thoughts. A resolute look appeared on his face as he finally decided on something important.Snatching the keys on top of the table, Lucas exited the apartment as he walked towards the garage where he got in his car and drove somewhere.That afternoon, Savannah had just woken up. Her body felt sore all over lately, and she was incredibly tired. Both in mind and body.Yawning softly, Savannah exited the house, looking at the familiar scenery of the house that h

Lucas felt a massive headache in his head and the pain gnawing at his heart. The guilt of what happened a few years ago surfaced again in his emotion.Fate has its unique way of toying with people’s feelings.Maybe, in the past, he was too impulsive to rebel against his father’s decision in that manner. Now, he was regretting it all.He was too arrogant in the past, and it unknowingly has become his weakness. It made him judge people without a clear head and looking at things from another person’s perspective.Lucas threw his body in the bed, clearly frustrated. His head hit the wooden table near the bed, yet he ignored the pain. Both his hands were covering his face. He felt numb, and in his heart, he realized that he had been such a fool.The marriage at that time indeed wasn’t held in a grand manner. Only the close work colleagues and distant relatives came to the wedding. Still, it must still be hu

Lucas had been absent from the work for nearly three days until now, yet Andrew didn’t urge him to return to the office as soon as possible. From the tone of his friend, he knew that he was probably mulling about something. At a time like this, Lucas liked to be alone.Savannah also somehow seemed to act a bit strange the day Lucas called for some days off. It was as if her mind was somewhere else. She lost a bit of focus on her work, though it didn’t affect her overall performance. Savannah would be in a daze when she got called by someone. Then, after a while, she would finally snap out of it. It happened a few times.Andrew noticed the probability of the two people’s actions somehow related to each other. But he didn’t want to probe on both of their privacies.That was until today, Savannah came knocking on his door, asking for full a week off. Her face was emotionless, though sometimes anxiety could be perceived
A Girl From the Past Chapter 33
Lucas stared at the address and some information written on the screen of his phone. His usually indifferent face seemed to be filled with anticipation and a mixed feeling. Sometimes, anxiety and nervousness also meddled within.He had contacted some people to search for certain information a few months ago. Now, he finally received the result. Sighing, Lucas checked at his clock. Two hours until work ended.The address he received wasn’t considered nearby nor far from he was right now. Maybe an hour's drive and he would arrive at the place.From the information. He more or less knew that the name of the couple who raised Sofia was the same. He wasn’t sure if it was a coincidence or not, but he hoped that it wasn’t.A change of heart. Will it happen or not?Time ticked by slowly. As the two hours finally ended, Lucas spared no time to loiter around. He swiftly walked out of his room, almost making employees
