"What?"
"Yeah, at first I thought my mind was playing some kind of cruel trick on me but it turns out I was wrong and it keeps showing up and when it shows up I am not sure how to act and that's the reason I end up being rude to you" he explained.She had ranted and it was his turn to talk for long while he listened. "So Seraphina was right?" she murmured to herself."What?""Nothing," she said startled. She had demanded a. explanation but, not this kind. She did not know what she wanted but she was sure it was none of what she had heard."I better get inside" she said struggling with the handle of the door.Kieran got closer as he wanted to try to help her get the door. "What are you doing?" she screamed when she felt him so close to her."Helping you," he said."Don't bother?" she said in a nervous laugh."I did not want to tell you because I did not want you to feel uncomfortable" Kieran said resti관련 챕터

Kieran watched Arabella walk slowly to the house. He wondered if he was actually drawn to her. She was nothing like Kimberly who he adored with his life.Kimberly was a bright perky woman who preferred shoes to books. Arabella on the other had always had her nose buried in books since she was young. He wondered if it was true that all men had a type because Kimberly and Arabella were sure not the same type. He felt rejected like he had proposed to her and she had curely turned him down.He wanted to chase after her and ask her to reconsider, he did not know what he wanted her to reconsider but that's how he felt."What do I do?" he asked himself angrily as he slammed his fist on the steering wheel. "Would it have been better if I had just kept it to myself?"The next morning he noticed that she had left the house before he could wake up. The news he gathered from his mom was that she had an important client to attend to and so she could

TRIGGER WARNING, THERE MIGHT BE SOME ELEMENT OF DOMESTIC ABUSE IN THIS CHAPTER PLEASE SKIP IT IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE IT.Everly held her cheek as she pushed him out of her way. "Did you just slap me?" she asked, tears streaming from one of her eyes. She could not believe the situation she was in at that moment.The same Ethan who had chased her around for years before he got her to date him and then suddenly made her pregnant and after that married her. It was the same man who had raised his hands and slapped her."I am sorry, I did not mean to" he stammered as he moved back staggering on his feet. "I don't know what came over me," he said again as his feet kept going back."I am going to go out now" she said rushing out of the house.She felt a breeze hit her skin but she did not care all that was on her mind was how to escape that situation she was facing.She was not properly dressed to be out in the cold.

"Hello Mom" Kieran shouted at the dead end of the phone. He yanked the phone from his ears like it was something hot burning him. He tapped on the phone and called the number again."Hello," he heard a quirky voice. "Hello, my mom just called me on this line" he said internally praying she was still there."Oh yes," the lady said and Kieran sighed in relief."She said to come to pick her but she did not give me an address," Kieran said."Oh, this is at Salt Avenue, Purple and Cream coffee shop," The lady said."Is she fine? She did not sound too good over the phone" Kieran was concerned. He had never heard his mom sound that way before so he was seriously worried."She does not look too good so if you could come pick her up as soon as possible that would be the best" her quirky and happy voice came through."Don't worry I will keep her here" she added."I will be there as fast as I can, please don't le

Kieran raced to the coffee shop. He parked and entered the cafe and walked to the counter. As he approached the counter he saw his mom sitting in one of the chairs. Her head was hung low as she fondled with her finger."Mom," Kieran said with a loud voice as she rushed to her and knelt before her.She looked up at him slowly, her face was flushed and her eyes looked a bit dim. She wanted to smile but all he saw was a kind of sadness."Are you her son?" Kieran turned to the direction of the voice. It was the same one he heard over the phone."Yes" Kieran said."Oh, you are very good-looking" the girl could not control herself. She could read the room that it was not the time to be complimenting him but she could not control herself. She was sure he could pass off as a celebrity without any issues."Thank you," Kieran said. "For watching myom and making sure she is safe" he added after a long pause causing the smile and her face to

"Mom, why don't you tell me the truth?" Kieran asked as he drove her home. She looked better than when he had first seen her. It was as if life had suddenly returned to her. Her face looked brighter and she was getting better, she had calmed down and the tears ceased as well."What truth?" she asked looking out the window to avoid any form of eye contact they might have."About what happened" "Nothing happened," she said trying her best to sound happy as possible. "I had not been exercising for a while now so I decided to just take a little walk around the neighbourhood" "Nas you found yourself forty minutes away?" "Yeah" "Forty minutes drive away from the house?" he asked again."Yeah" "If you were taking a walk why did you call me then?" "Turns out I left my phone at home and could not figure out the way back home" She lied.Kieran could easily detect that lie, she was always

"Everly," Ethan said as he saw her come down from the car. He did not know the direction to go to search for her so all he did was wait outside in the cold barefooted."Hey honey," she said and he was taken aback. She wanted to run away but she had to pretend in front of her child. He was not even young she wondered why she was doing all this for him."What?" he let out in a shriek. "You must have been worried" she said going to stand before him. "I got lost on my way out for a walk and I asked Kieran to come to get me, I guess I must be getting old seeing that I don't know how to tell directions again" Everly rambled."What are you doing?" Ethan asked with a fearful voice."Do you want Kieran to know what happened? Just play along" she said in a hushed whisper."Oh," he said with no voice as he nodded. He knew he was in the wrong but he had to make sure to keep this away from him.He wanted to apologize but he didn't s
