Chapter 31
The group therapy I went to 3 years ago was very helpful, but now the thought of drinking really hurts. I wiped away my tears, I hoped nothing would happen to him, and I loved Kaiden so much that I saw him suffer for my health.
“Are you ok?”
Jane looked at my face and asked. – Yes, my eyes itch. – Sorry.
said his soft voice.
She was so beautiful with her red hair tied in a blue scarf and wearing a school uniform. She was insecure about her size so she declined the date.
I smiled at him, hoping to see how amazing he was. His presence always made me laugh. When I started working here, I backed off and
Pushing people too close. So some of my colleagues didn’t like me. To them I was the daughter of a rich man who had fallen from grace on the grass.
Hope and Jane tried until we finally gave in and agreed to be friends. Mrs. Carter fired some employees earlier, including myself, which was definitely a surprise. I called Mrs. Porter and she said they were still in the hospital and I decided to meet them there. I took an Uber to the hospital, wore a yellow floral dress and white sandals, and now I have short hair. To be honest, I was more comfortable with the new hair and wanted to dye it black, but changed my mind. I woke up one morning and grabbed a pair of scissors. I had a haircut up to my shoulders, I was 6 months old
pregnant there. I liked the new look so I left it as is. I met them on the second floor and when I entered the room, Kaiden was crying non-stop.
“What happens?”
I ran to the bed he was sitting on and wiped my tears and he came and grabbed my shirt. “He wanted to play with the syringes that doctors use.”
Mrs. Porter explained. “Kayden, that’s not fair.”
He came closer and put his face on my neck. – Where is the doctor?Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“He’s been gone for a while and will be back soon with the results.”
Kayden fell asleep on my shoulder until the doctor came back. I didn’t stay long and arrived today and left.
The test results were good. “Wait, I’ll bring you some tea.”
Mrs. Porter left while I was sitting on the sidewalk by the hospital and Kayden was sleeping on my shoulder. I looked at the mall near the hospital and saw a familiar face.
My heart stopped when I saw Maurice driving a black Porsche. He was still visible except for the mustache above his lips, surprised when their eyes met.
I turned to see Tristan walking to his car and he had just left the mall. I prayed silently, hoping Morris wouldn’t tell I was here.
Nothing happened for a few seconds, and when I turned around, the car was gone and I sighed in relief. Mrs. Porter came over and told me to get in the car, so I put Cayden in the car.
The seat belt has been strengthened and tightened. IT
We got into the car and drove off.
It was close. I’ve been running for a week
Tristan didn’t have Morris.
speak or don’t speak
you get to know me
Sunday I decided to take Kayden to the park to play. Mrs. Porter let me use her car. It was the only day I got to spend the whole day with him.
When I put him down, Kaiden immediately started running and I followed closely behind. When the white puppy approached, he smiled.
He was playing with the old lady’s dog, I might buy him. I don’t really like dogs, I like birds.
I picked up the phone to text Vina. I left the house while he was sleeping.
I came up with the perfect lie and frowned into the phone. He didn’t like me lying to him.
– cash? I was frozen. “Cash?”
I was frozen.
I gripped my phone harder, and he had no right to say that. How did he find me? The anger I’d been holding in for years exploded and I tried not to.
I let my anger get the better of me because I was in public. Should I ignore him because of what happened three years ago or should I cheer him up and act like an old friend? It’s been three years and it’s better to pretend nothing happened. I had to show her that I was stronger and more independent.
“Chloe”.
This time he called and I chose the latter. I smiled and turned around. It looked bigger and that was the first thing I noticed. He was wearing a red tracksuit, black sneakers and a sweaty white tank top. Sweat was dripping from his burned hands, his blond hair was now full and a few strands of sweat were sticking to his forehead. “Tristan?” I tried to put on a surprised expression
But it sounded too fake. “Hello.”
I said moving gracefully to cover Kayden. I hope he doesn’t wait too long for what he has to say.
What if the father of the child is only 5 feet away from the child he doesn’t even know exists? He looks at my face and is silent for a moment, his eyes are my short hair.
“You… cutting your hair.” She said with a look I couldn’t read. “Yes.” I said firmly.
Home is far from here, so why did you run all the way here? why today More reasons why I can’t trust Adrian. “How are you?”
His words seemed like he didn’t know what to say.
“Tristan, what do you want?” I couldn’t stop the rage coursing through my veins. “Mother!”
Damn bad time, keep playing with your puppy.
Cayden ran to me and hugged my leg with a smile and I looked at him and smiled at Tristan. He frowned, turned his eyes to me and looked at Kaiden, who already had a question on his face.
– Do you have a son? – Yes, I am married.
It was out of my mouth before I could stop talking. He stared in silence for a few seconds in pain.
“Interesting.”
He fumbled and looked at Cayden and put his hand in the back of my black jeans before noticing that my bare finger wasn’t wearing a ring.
lie I was uncomfortable with the way he was looking at her. Kaiden looked back and for a moment they seemed to connect in a way I hadn’t seen before.
– Well… I just started.
I told him to look at me. – It’s hot. Would you like to buy a drink and an ice cream for the boy?
he asked, crouching at Kayden’s eye level.
‘Is Tristan real? I’m married and you two want a drink?
“I wanted to know how you are.”
“Didn’t Adrian tell you? Get away from me Tristan, I don’t care why you’re here.” as you
If you dare come near me and my child, I will go to the police and file a restraining order.
I said, trying not to raise my voice. “You must be late.”
He almost whispered to me. He crouched at the same level as Cayden and didn’t listen to me.
“Be a good child.” He patted Kaiden’s head and stood up. – Hi, Chloe.
He winked at Cayden which made him smile, smiled at me, put on his Airpods and ran away from us.
I wanted to stop lying, but I couldn’t control the words coming out of my mouth. I didn’t want her around Kayden, I didn’t want her back in my life, and it felt right to give her a reason to stay away. This was my new beginning and I wasn’t going to let it ruin it. Well, I was a liar and have been a liar ever since I got back from Cuba. I had to make sure Tristan stayed away and I was never going to tell you about Cayden or the other twins. I was leaving the park with Cayden on my way to the antique jeweler.
I bought an old wedding ring and immediately put it on as soon as I got in the car. “What I do?”
I held my breath and whispered. No one met Cayden and I didn’t marry anyone. What if he asks Adrian?
I pulled out my phone, dialed her number and she picked up the third call. – You missed me?
A timid voice was heard.
– I met Tristan… – Did he try to talk to you? He immediately went inside.
– Yes, I said… I’m married.
– wait?
