The months he was apart from her were very bad. The girls for a mont were okay after taking the dicine and those won from the island kept on trying their best to climb his bed. It was irritating.
He found out that letting another woman get closer to him was impossible. He felt irritated that he would rather not have any of them get anywhere near him.
And yet every single night she kept on coming to his dream like a ghost. Even if he wanted to forget her, he couldn’t. And it affected him so much.
Thankfully, returning to her side again taught him a lot of things, and as he looked at her right now, although it might sound selfish and a bit bad, he was glad for everything that happened.
He finally returned to her side, got an opportunity to co clean, witness her prowess and, above all, everyone seed to be having a good opinion of him.
They were silently rooting for them to get back together. Calista, at tis, is soone who gets influenced by people, though she doesn’t follow everything that they say.
However, this ti, he just hoped that she would listen to them.
He wanted to get back together with her, have a family together and work through issues that they both have. The future was long and since they were both single, why not accompany each other forever?
Badum, badum, badum.
Her heart was pounding like crazy as she listened to the longest confession and apology she had ever heard in her life.
She didn’t think that he would resort to sothing like that. She just wanted to hear his opinion and see what he would choose.
Whether he would be part of his child’s life or they would be cutting any ties once everything was over.
Whatever decision he was going to make, she was going to accept it. After all, when it all started, she wasn’t looking for a man or husband in the real sense, but a sperm donor.
As long as she gets her child, she won’t care about the man.
However, by spending ti with him, Calista felt reborn in love. After a decade, she finally felt her heart fluttering and her belly full of those butterflies.
That was sothing that most people didn’t get to feel many tis. The thought of spending the rest of her life with Orson ca to her mind repeatedly. That was why she gave him many chances and, in the end, he betrayed her.
Back then, she didn’t know or understand why he did that to her, but with his return now, she knew everything. She felt sorry for him but her pride and recalling how heartbroken she was all these months. How hard it was for her; she just couldn’t accept forgiving him that easily.
She wanted him to suffer, which she knew was bad.
On top of that, despite his concern about her welfare in the past few days, and the fact that she didn’t get her apology, it all felt fake and done for the sake of it.
However, listening to his confession right now, Calista felt that she didn’t know him at all. And that fact was real. Just like how he didn’t know her, she didn’t know him as well.
Instead of blaming him for everything, won’t it be good to start anew?
Even if they won’t get back in the future, it wouldn’t hurt to beco friends, at least, right?
Who knows what the future would end up for the two of them?
With such thoughts swirling in her mind, she exhaled a deep breath as she looked at him with a genuine smile, the first she had ever given him since his return, and said, "I forgive you. You weren’t the one at fault, but I was as well, and I acknowledge that.
Honestly, I always knew that you were lying, but a part of just wanted to know if you could beco honest with . I knew that one day you would definitely leave, but never thought that it would be that early.
Even if you were married to many wives, I didn’t care. Just like how I told you when we got married that we would be stuck with each other, which I ant for real, I hoped that we would remain that way.
Even if you were to stay with your family in that part of the world and co to once in a while, I would have accepted it.
I was soone who once gave up everything for an older married man with kids old enough as . I never cared about the profession. Even if you are a thief, an assassin, a scholar, a rchant, or part of the army.
In my eyes, nothing matters as long as we are on the sa wavelength. If it’s for the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, I will do everything I can to make sure that he or she won’t fall into any harm.
You have seen for yourself that I can’t be in danger. Whitey and Blakey would always protect with everything that they have. That’s how loyal and dedicated to my safety they are. If they can do that for , do you think that they won’t care for the people who love ?
If only you had told about the dicine and how you need it to save your girls, I would have given you what you wanted, but you never said a thing and ca back just like that.
And you returned with an attitude and brought a girl with an attitude. How did you expect to react? Welco you with open arms.
I was hurt, but that didn’t hurt as much as you not saying sorry or being concerned about the child in my belly. Seeing you being concerned about your daughters, I was hurt. Not that I hated the girls, but you in general. You acted as if the child in my belly was from a wild man and didn’t need your concern, and yet you continued to cry and show off your concern for your girls in front of .
Even if I didn’t want to hate you, what did you expect when you showed such favoritism in front of ?
However, I am glad now. Thank you for apologizing and explaining what happened to you. With all the facts in front of , I can set aside my grudge and look at you differently!" she smiled at him as she patted his hand.
Orson also smiled after hearing the last part. The other parts of her statent were truly too much for him. It kept him on his edge.
