LOGINNATHALIE’S POV đ
-
Following Xander’s meal, we talked with him, gradually helping to diminish the anxiety he was experiencing, and then he went to sleep.
Sapphire had once again dozed off on the sofa, her head now resting on my lap, using it as a pillow.
“Nathalie, why don’t you eat first?” Tyler suggested gently, his voice soft.
“Sorry, Ty. I don’t feel like eating.” I answered in a weak voice.
“
NATHALIE’S POV đ–As I opened the front door, Harrison fixed his gaze on my face, my cheek.“F*cking b*llsh*t! Why is your face that flushed, and what’s this damn wound on your way lips?” His eyes dropped for a moment before he demanded furiously once more. “How come your neck is so red, as if…! Was it Calix who hurt you like this? Where is that son of a bitch? I’m going to f*cking k*ll him!”“Harrison, take it easy with what you say. Someone might hear you,” I reminded him.“I’m going to show them exactly what I’ll do to that damn bastard! Where is that fvcking jerk?!”I didn’t argue anymore and my earthly body was tired.“Come in first.” I said then he entered. &l
NATHALIE’S POV đ–Fear took hold of me so completely I stayed rooted in place.He snatched up the chair he’d just tossed down and bashed it against the fridge.“Calix!” I cried out, torn between alarm and dread.I ran for the kitchen, but the moment I reached the door and gripped the handle, I stood rooted to the spot once more.Calix kicked the ruined chair away and grabbed a new one.I’ve seen him like this before... but this is the first time I’ve seen it personally.Shoving aside my uneasy feelings and fear, I went inside the kitchen.“Calix!”Slamming the chair made me leap with fright and surprise.He dropped the broken chair and turned toward me.
NATHALIEâS POV đââMommy, is Uncle not going to sleep with us?ââHe will, little one. Maybe heâll come here later.ââWhy later, Mommy? Mommy⊠is Uncle mad at me? âCause I didnât say yes to him to sleep in the middle?ââNo, little one. Your Uncle Zander isnât mad at you.ââMommy, he didnât play with me earlier, and he didnât eat with us either. I think heâs mad at me.ââNo, my little oner. The reason isâŠâ I pondered a kind explanation my child could understand.âYour Uncle Zander is having diarrhea. He doesnât want you to smell his fart.âMy son giggled with laughter. âHis fart must be stinky.ââYes, little one. Uncle Zander doesnât want you to smell his fart.âMy son giggled again.âClose your eyes now, little one, sleep well⊠so youâll grow tall before you know it.ââYes, mommy. Good night.ââGood night, my little one.ââMommy, I canât say good night to Uncle.ââIâll tell him you said good night to him.ââThank you, mommy! I love you.ââI love you too, my little one.âThen my son hu
NATHALIE’S POV đ–“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 đ–'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
NATHALIEâS POV đâCalix slept so soundly that he didnât wake up at his usual time of waking up in the early morning. It really looks like this is the first time heâs 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 Iâm on a video call with Tyler, Sapphire was next to him.[âI ordered breakfast for delivery for Sapphire and me for now. My body still hurts.â] Tyler informed me.[âBesides, Mommy. Papa Tyler might end up burning whatever he cooks if he tries again,â] Sapphire agreed, clearly enjoying teasing Tyler even more.[âI know how to cook, just in small amounts.â] Tyler defended himself playfully.[âHihihi~ yes, Papa. Sometimes the hotdogs, pancakes, sunny side-up eggs, bacon, ham, nuggets, fried chicken you cook â half burnt, half cooked properly.â][âBaby, itâs not always like that.â][âOh, yes, Mo
NATHALIEâS POV-Itâs almost six in the evening when we finished eating.Since Sir Calix doesnât know how to clean up the dishesâwhich I understand, I cleaned up and washed them.He tried to help clean up and wash our dishes, but he broke two glasses right away, so I advised him I would do it alone
NATHALIEâS POV-I felt like I had only fallen asleep for a second. Then I sensed Briannaâs tiny hands on my arm, shaking me awake.I opened my eyes and looked at her with a smile."Good..." I coughed without opening my mouth. I did this for proper speech as my throat felt very dry.âGood morning, ba
