Chapter 113: HER SCHE
"Stop it!" Miles yelled, grappling with his sister as she flared up trying to hit Astrid.
Mattie’s face twisted in rage. "You bitch! You bitch! I am going to make you pay for taking away my man! I promise you, I will make you pay, you sly whore!"
Miles lifted Mattie off the ground, struggling to restrain her.
"Mrs... I’m sorry," Miles apologized, turning to Elizabeth. "I am sorry for what my sister just did. I will take care of her. Please, don’t worry about it, Astrid. Forgive us."
But Mattie continued yelling, her voice hoarse. "You whore! You stole him from !"
Julian’s expression darkened, his eyes flashing anger.
Elizabeth leit out stunned."That’s enough. Please take your sister outside."
Miles dragged Mattie out, apologizing repeatedly.
While Elizabeth’s shocked gaze followed them. "Who...?" she pointed, her voice trembling.
"Who is that?" she asked, confusion etched on her face.
Julian stepped forward, his expression calming. "It’s a long story, ma’am. I promise to explain everything when you’re feeling stronger."
Astrid’s eyes narrowed, embarrassnt written across her face.
"Yeah, Mum," Astrid said, pushing Julian aside. "We’ll sort it out. Don’t worry."
Elizabeth nodded, her eyes still haunted. "Are you sure?" she asked, and Astrodnodded again.
Astrid helped her mother settle back into bed. "Mum, I will get you sothing to eat. You should rest. Can you wait here alone for a bit?" Astrid asked.
Elizabeth nodded weakly. "I will be right back," Astrid reassured and then gestured to Julian.
"Good, Julian, co with . I need to share a conversation with you."
Julian swallowed hard, uneasy about the tone she used. For so reason, he didn’t have a good feeling about their impending conversation.
Astrid turned to her mother, her voice filled with affection. "My sweet darling, I’ll be expecting you. Just so happy to see you again."Elizabeth whispered.
She kissed her mother’s forehead, and they shared a warm smile before Astrid stood up to leave.
As she walked toward the door, she glanced back, noticing Julian wasn’t following. She turned again, her gaze eting him.
"We will be back soon, Mum," Julian said, his voice gentle.
Astrid rolled her eyes and continued walking outside.
The mont they stepped out of the room, Astrid turned to Julian.
"Astrid, I promise I didn’t know she would find your mom’s room. I didn’t tell her, sorry for what she’s done," Julian apologized.
Astrid snickered, her hands clasped against her chest. "Julian, I know I told you my heart beats for you, and you were my crush. I also didn’t forget the good incidents. How much you cared about , took
to the hospital, and took care of
when I was down."
She took a deep breath. "Please, just stay with Mattie and don’t co to . Just stick to the contract, and b couples on paper only."
Julian’s expression turned puzzled. "What are you trying to say?"
Astrid’s voice firm. "What I am trying to say is, don’t show your face in front of my mother again. I can just make up sothing about your work. She knows you are soone that is supposed to be busy."
Julian moved closer, as placed his hands on her shoulder now jerking her gently.
"But... All of a sudden, you want
to do that. What do you expect your mom to think about ?" Julian asked.
Astrid’s eyes flashed warning. "Don’t play dumb, Julian. You know exactly what I an."
Julian’s grip on her shoulder tightened.
"Are you pushing
away because of Mattie’s outburst?" Julian’s voice was laced with emotion.
Astrid’s face set, anger now etched on her face.
"For goodness sake we don’t have a future together, so tell
why you should show up before my mother as my husband." She yelped.
"Astrid you have my title Logan but all of a sudden you want
to stay away from you so that you can go back to Rowan or Miles,"
She smacked him across his face again and crazily he didn’t react to that.
"You can slap , kick
do anything to make you feel right but that doesn’t change the fact that I am your husband and I won’t stay away from you or your mother,"
"Fine, then after a year it will be over. We can go. We will both go our separate ways that day." she said and walked out on him.
"Astrid!" He called but her steps were so fast as tears stread down her eyes.
"Don’t you walk away from !" He yelled after her but she didn’t give a response.She walks past Mattie and Miles, not noticing them.
"Let
go!" Mattie and Miles, who had been struggling a bit far from them, wanted to run after Astrid.
Miles already knew her intention; he refused to let her go until Astrid had gone sowhere.
They both glanced at Julian punched the wall in fry, this ti might go as she will achieve down to where he stood.
"Julian?" she called.
"Just forget about her. She’s not your anger, She’s not worth your emotion is, not even... your sadness.," She let out the last phrase.
"Mattie," he blew out a rasp of hair as he bent to a level, " I am really sorry I wasn’t expecting to go this way. I know everything must be shocking for you since you lost your mory but you shouldn’t attack my wife that way."
"What?" she asked in shock.
"Yes you heard
right, I agree I hurt you and the reason why you got mad and drove that night then lost your mory was . But, listen to your family and just stay away from
for now,"
"Julian." she cried out.
"I am so sorry Mattie, forgive , but I think it’s better. I will let you know now that we both are the bricks before you lost your mory,"
"I don’t care. Yes, I lost my mory and I am not going to recall sad mories. I love you, we love ourselves right from childhood. You can’t destroy this relationship for soone I don’t even know how you t her!"
"Mattie!"
"Julian! I don’t care if she’s your wife," Mattie emphasized.
"You don’t even care for ladies that week, so I am pretty sure sothing must have happened during that situation. Please, let’s sort it out."
Julian glanced at Miles, seeking assistance, but Miles shrugged, offering no help.
"Fine," Julian grumbled, his mind racing with conflicting thoughts. "We can sort it out if that’s what you want."
Mattie’s smirk grew wider. "Yes, I told you I would have you. Losing my mory? That’s a joke."
Mattie’s gaze locked onto Julian, her eyes burning with victory. "I will continue to pretend I lost my mory until I win your heart back and send her back to the hell she crawled out from."
