One Night Child He stole my heart.
I had no idea Arthur had told his family about me. This moment made me realize that he had loved me from the beginning, and it's easier to call it love at first sight.I was overjoyed that he remembered me after stealing my jewellery for the past five years.When I woke up five years ago to find an empty room and all of my jewellery missing, I immediately assumed that I had given my virginity to a thief, and it turns out that I was correct.Arthur stole my jewellery five years ago, and now that he's back in my life, he's stolen my heart in a very short time.I may appear selfish, but for once, all I want is to steal something nice from Arthur. I want to take his surname and don't mind being known as Cornelia Alanson.I was still smiling and thinking about how fortunate I was to have met Arthur when I heard his mother mention something about cancer.I had been lost in thought, but when I heard her say the word "Cancer," I slowly shifted my gaze to her. "Mom, do you have cancer?" I ques
One Night Child It's an honor.
Arthur and I were still talking while his aunt looked on from a distance. She has a happy expression on her face, and I can tell she is rooting for both Arthur and me."I apologize for taking so long." Arthur's mother apologizes as she moves closer to us.She went to the guest restroom a while ago and took her time, but I didn't notice because Arthur and I were both busy keeping each other company while she was gone. "You don't have to apologize, Mom." Arthur told his mother.She takes a bond from her handbags and ties her hair into a neat ponytail, making her appear younger and likewise adorable. Mrs. Alanson smiles as she grabs my wrist and pulls me towards the kitchen. "Because it's almost nighttime, why don't we have some mother-daughter time?" Mrs. Alanson made the request.I have no right to refuse, and I would also enjoy cooking with her. "It's an honor to be in the kitchen with you, Mom, and I'll try to make something nice despite my nervousness." I declare, and what I just s
One Night Child Let Arthur go.
It was more than I expected to have dinner with Arthur's mother and aunt Astrid. I assumed that when I met Arthur's parents, I'd be chastised for my fat appearance, and that they'd make fun of me because I'm not as pretty as a doll.Arthur's mother had excused herself to go pick up a phone call, and as she returned, she had a mighty frown on her face.I was the first to notice her frown, and as she approached the dining table, I arched my brows before questioning her. "Is everything okay, Mom?" I inquired of her.Mrs. Alanson looks at me with a disgusted expression before shifting her gaze to her son.Arthur quickly noticed his mother's intense gaze on him and stopped eating as he arched his brows at her. "Mom." Mrs. Alanson did not respond when Arthur called out for his mother. "With your intense gaze, sis, you are scaring everyone." Mrs. Alanson was told by Arthur's aunt.Finally, Mrs. Alanson blinked several times before taking her seat.Mrs. Alanson remained silent throughout the
One Night Child Let's break up.
"Enough already, Mom!" Arthur exclaims as he rises from his seat, addressing his mother.Arthur Mom was taken aback by her own child's behavior. She arched her brows as she slowly shifted her gaze to Arthur. "Did… did you just scream at your mother?" She asked while stuttering.Arthur didn't want to respond to his mother because he was dissatisfied with her actions. "Did you just yell at your mother, Arthur?" She inquired once more.Arthur is so enraged at her that he cannot bring himself to say anything. "Pumpkin, let's go home." Arthur declared as he looked at me with a brief smile on his lips.I return his smile as I wipe away the tears that were streaming down my cheeks. "You don't have to worry because I can go on my own." I declared as I rose from my seat.I was about to leave the dining room when Arthur rushed up to my side and grabbed my wrist.He stared at me with a pleading gaze as he briefly bit his lower lips. "Please let me follow you." Arthur pleaded, but I could only fo
One Night Child Your Grandchild.
"All right then." Arthur's mother stated.Arthur turned around and shot his mother with a lethal glare. "What? It's a good thing you're both breaking up now." She added without hesitation.Arthur exhaled while biting his lower lips. He rushed over to my side and grabbed my hands. "Cornelia, don't do this to me. You already know how much I love you, so please don't mind my mother, okay? Cornelia, I love you, so please… Please don't do this to me...""I'm sorry, Arthur, but I won't be able to stay." I declared before yanking my hands away from Arthur's firm grip.He didn't let go and ran towards me, wrapping his hands around my waist. "Don't... Please don't do this to me Cornelia, you're breaking my heart." As he rested his head on my back, he stammered.I'm on the verge of grabbing the door knot, but Arthur's grip on me prevents me from doing so. "Please... Arthur, ple… please release me." As I forcefully swallow my saliva, I beg.He shakes his head side to side. "Cornelia, I can't… I
One Night Child Straightforward question.
"What exactly did you say?" Arthur's mother questioned me, her brows slightly arched.She wasn't looking at me with curiosity; instead, she was looking at me with disgust on her face.I was so irritated that I turned around and decided to excuse myself from this house before I got a serious headache because I've been through enough in life and explaining myself to Arthur's mother wasn't worth it."Cornelia, I believe you need to explain something to me. What the hell do you mean when you say the child you have is Arthur's? You should not start imposing yourself on my son because your child's father abandoned you." She yelled.It hurts like hell when Arthur's mother speaks to me as if I had offended her in a previous life.Some minutes ago, she was chatting with me and speaking to me in a friendly manner, but humans all have different personalities."I don't need to justify myself to you, Mrs. Alanson."Mrs. Alanson grabbed my wrist and pulled me back as I was about to walk into the si
One Night Child Ended things up.
I hailed a cab as fast as my petite little could carry me.I told the cab driver where I wanted to go, which was none other than Elizabeth Restaurant.Elizabeth is my only friend in town, so when I arrived at her restaurant, I rushed inside and asked her for assistance with a dollar bill.Elizabeth gave me a few dollars without even asking me a question, so I ran back outside and paid the cab driver."Do you want a bottle of warm water?" She inquired after I had taken my seat on a single chair at a table for two."You don't have to be concerned about me. Simply take care of your customers." I murmur.I always try to appear strong, and right now I'm trying to appear brave in front of Elizabeth, but deep down I'm in a lot of pain.I can't even feel my eyes because they were so weak, and they were also filled with tears that I'm fighting back from spilling."I'll bring you a glass of cold water." As she walked away from me, Elizabeth said.She had completely ignored my request that she s
One Night Child Fix your mistake.
Arthur's point of view.I couldn't think straight because it felt like my entire world was collapsing around me.Things didn't make complete sense to me, and I'm not sure where to begin.I never expected my Aunt and Mom to show up unexpectedly at my house, and to make matters worse, my Mom now despises the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.I understand that saying he'd spend the rest of his life with Cornelia sounds ridiculous because the rest of his life isn't going to end in three months.I don't have cancer and have many more years to live, but I want to be the man for Cornelia before she dies.I want to be the one who loves and cherishes her indefinitely, even if she is six feet underground.Currently. Arthur couldn't believe his mother who used to like Cornelia, but her behavior had abruptly changed.He knew from their earlier argument that his mother had gone to do some background checks on his pumpkin, and he disliked his mother for that reason.His mother should
