LOGINNATHALIE’S POV 🍃–“What did you just call me? Did you finally get all your memories back?” I asked, barely breathing.He grinned and explained to me how he found out about Brianna’s name.He’s gone to great lengths to hide Brianna; even his cousin hasn’t the slightest notion of anything.“He hasn’t investigats my parents or Veronica yet, because I don’t want them to suspect that I’m looking for answers about what happened between us back then,” he continued. “Harrison and Wallace? I left them out of this. They don’t even have anything to say about me to begin with. They’re furious at me for reasons I don’t understand.”I understand what Harrison and Mr. Wallace are going through.I also don’t blame them for being mad at Calix. Yet they didn’t allow it to damage their friendship.
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃–'I’m here in the elevator already.' Tyler texted me, that it put my mind completely at ease.'It was only after I finished taking a shower, I realized I hadn’t sent Tyler my text message.He assumed Sapphire wanted to be by herself, so he left ahead of time.The second he received my message, he cut the nearly two-hour trip from their company to my apartment down to just thirty minutes.“Hope he didn’t run into any trouble rushing like that.”“Who?”I glanced over at Calix as he just stepped down from the staircase.“Who are you thinking about and you seem restless?” he asked as he approached me.“Oh, it’s just nothing,” I answered.He brought Xander over to our bed. Xander fell asleep earlier for his nap.I’m tidying up the toys that Calix and my son p
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃–Calix slept so soundly that he didn’t wake up at his usual time of waking up in the early morning. It really looks like this is the first time he’s felt at ease in bed and able to sleep.Ever since he moved in here, his sleep has never been this good until now.It was morning, and I was cooking our breakfast of soft noodles, shredded chicken, cooked carrots, and celery.While I’m on a video call with Tyler, Sapphire was next to him.[“I ordered breakfast for delivery for Sapphire and me for now. My body still hurts.”] Tyler informed me.[“Besides, Mommy. Papa Tyler might end up burning whatever he cooks if he tries again,”] Sapphire agreed, clearly enjoying teasing Tyler even more.[“I know how to cook, just in small amounts.”] Tyler defended himself playfully.[“Hihihi~ yes, Papa. Sometimes the hotdogs, pancakes, sunny side-up eggs, bacon, ham, nuggets, fried chicken you cook — half burnt, half cooked properly.”][“Baby, it’s not always like that.”][“Oh, yes, Mo
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃–I sent a message to Tyler. ‘How was your trip? Sapphire, how is she?’It’s worrying that after sending Tyler’s picture, where they were at the Under Aquarium, he didn't sent any pictures or message.He just said in the message that they’ve opened a new spot at the amusement park, which is why he thought of taking Sapphire out there.“Don’t you want to sleep next to the wall and I’ll be on the other side?”Calix was still trying to convince my son, or should I say he’s straight-up bugging my my little one now.“I don’t want to, Uncle. I want you and Mommy next to me!”I’m here at my spot near the outlet. I opened my laptop to check my emails first.I’ll also look into how Calix keeps convincing my kid.Calix had been nagging Xander to switch places on the
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃–My eyes turned toward Calix all on their own, while I stood frozen in place.Caught up in the moment, I totally blurted things out, and now it’s way too late to take ’em back!“What did you mean to inherit–”“I mean, to get from you. Uhm... to learn from you. That’s what I meant. After all, you’re teaching him, right?”“To be airy?”“Like that?”The surprise disappeared from his face, and he grinned. “Why am I not handsome?” he asked arrogantly.I felt relieved that he didn’t suspect anything.“I don’t know.” I replied, laughing awkwardly. “Okay, we’re going to sleep. Good night.”“Hold up, is it okay if I squeeze in and sleep with you? I can fit in your bed.”“No way.” I refused. &
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃–I think everything’s just happening way too fast...“Nathalie, is this Xander’s favorite cartoon show to watch?”I turned my attention back to the TV.It’s already in Xander’s all-time favorite cartoon. I remembered, Sapphire frequently indulges him and lets him watch it, even though she feels like switching to a different show.“Yes, that’s it.” I replied, smiling — a genuine one.“Uncle! Uncle!” Xander called out excitedly to Calix.Calix immediately looked at Xander. “Yes, kiddo?”“Uncle, I always watch that show with–”“Why don’t we start watching yet?” I slowly interrupted Xander’s intention to mention Sapphire’s name.Calix shifted his gaze to me. He wasn’t smiling, nor was he angry.He seemed
SOFIA / NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-“We have to leave at two.”“Then I’ll take a shower,” I said and stood up. “I’ll get my laptop first so you can see the video advertisement I made.”“Okay, I’ll take care of the two kids first.”“Thank you. I’ll be quick.”I went to the second floor straight to my room t
NATHALIE / SOFIA’S POV 🍃-I didn’t get much sleep last night. What happened -- when I saw Sir Calix -- was all I could think about.I wouldn’t have woken up at all if my phone alarm didn’t ring.I stood up, grabbed my phone, and turned off the alarm’s snooze function.Once I set my phone down, I
NATHALIE / SOFIA’S POV 🍃-After we had breakfast, Sapphire stayed in her room to answer the questions we had studied with her the previous days.Since she can’t attend school for now, Tyler and I are tutoring her.If the day comes she can go back to school, she can take an accelerated exam.Xande
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-What does Mr. Wallace mean by what he said?Everyone thinks Brianna is de*d? And her funeral is tomorrow?How did it happen like that?
