Peggy POV
What did he just say? He's letting go?
I was staring at him, I couldn't say anything.
"I don't want to hurt you again. We may really end up hating each other if we continue this. We could be parents to Caden. I promise I will be a good father to him so co ho. You could stay at the house in Primrose. It was yours after all. I could stay in Queen's." He said without looking at .
Is he talking about the house he bought for ? So it's still there. Wait. He said he'll let go. Is it for good? Do I really want that? I know he's right. If I marry him, it's impossible that he won't need to force again. But would it really be forced? Today, it was. But if he just asked earlier, I would willingly surrender myself to him.
I was hurt when he forced . But I wasn't really mad at him. I was just disappointed. I wanted sothing from him. I want him to want because he loves , not because of lust.
"Do you still love ?" I asked, still staring at him.
He then turned his face and looked at .
"I do. And I hate you. I don't trust you." He said without even blinking an eye.
That hurts. But at least he said he still loves . I need to make a decision. I wanted us to have another chance. I was the one who ruined everything. So I have to do everything so he could trust and love again completely.
"Can we start over?" I asked.
He was surprised. I know he thought I was mad at him and I would agree with him. But I can't let him go. I made a mistake leaving him. I just made it worse. I have to fix this.
"P-Peggy -"
"I still love you. I really do. I have never stopped loving you." I said it. I will do everything to get my family back.
He brushed his hand to my face again.
"I might hurt you again. I'm not the sa person as before. I've been dating a lot of won since you left." He suddenly said.
Again, it hurts. But what do I expect? It's been 3 years.
"Then I guess I have to fight for you. I'll do everything for you, love." I suddenly called him love. It was our term of endearnt for each other. I missed calling him that.
He brushed his thumb into my lower lip. I saw him gritted his teeth when he saw the cut.
"I'm sorry." He said it again.
"I'm okay now. I'm not mad. Just disappointed but at least you're sorry and you said you still love . So I'm fine now."
"You should hate ." He answered before leaning forward and gave a quick kiss on the lips.
"I missed you." I blurted.
He smiled at last. "Let's clean you up."
He helped clean my body since I was really feeling sore. I couldn't even walk straight so he carried outside the bathroom. He put on the couch first to clean the bed. He removed the sheet with a blood stain on it and I could see guilt on his face. He carried again and gently laid down on the bed.
He laid beside and pulled closer to him. I turned to his side and hugged him. I missed this. I missed him. We didn't say a word. We just laid down on the bed embracing each other. I couldn't say that I was happy. But I was relieved at least. He didn't answer clearly when I asked him to start over but I could feel he wanted it as well. I felt him kissing on the forehead before I closed my eyes to sleep.
I slowly opened my eyes when I felt the sun shine into my face. I looked at the other side of the bed but Jayden wasn't there anymore. I stood up only to feel my head hurt so much.
"You should rest. We still have a few hours." He said while coming out of the bathroom. I could sll the scent of his aftershave. God! I want him.
"I have to pack our things." I said.
"Missy was already done with Caden's and hers. I'll take care of your things. Just tell how." He said while scratching his head. Is he blushing?
He frowned. "Don't start."
"What?" I asked innocently. But I really wanted to laugh. For so reason, I saw the old Jayden.
"I know what you're thinking. Just tell what to do and stop making that face. It's irritating." He said, annoyed.
That was him a few years back. He'll blush and get annoyed with when I laugh about it. He'll call stupid, an idiot but he would always shower with kisses.
He suddenly walked towards and kissed on the cheek. I was startled. I didn't see that coming.
"Good morning." He said.
This ti I was the one blushing. Heat rose to my cheeks.
We heard a knock and Caden ca running.
"Mommy! Good morning!" He was smiling when he climbed on the bed.
I kissed him on the forehead and smiled back.
"Did you wake up early?" I asked.
"Yes mommy! Aunt Missy helped pack. You should start packing your clothes or we'll leave you behind." He said with his eyes sparkling excitedly.
Jayden pat his son on the head and stood up. I saw him go outside and when he ca back, he was holding a food tray.
"Daddy cooked our breakfast. It's delicious Mommy!" Caden exclaid.
I didn't expect that either. It was like when he found out I was pregnant. I wanted to cry again. I thought I wouldn't experience it with him anymore.
He put the food tray on the bed. When I looked at it, it was my favorite seafood pasta. I rember the day he proposed to . He also served this food.
"Mommy what happened to your wrists and your lips?" Caden suddenly asked.
I saw Jayden tensed. Caden looked at him.
"Daddy did you do this?" He frowned while asking his father.
"No, honey. Ah yes your father did this but we were playing last night. Mom was not hurt, don't worry." I lied. Guilt was all over Jayden's face.
"Oh. Like police and stuff right? You should have called . I want to play with mommy and daddy too." Caden said. He was so innocent.
Jayden suddenly pulled him in his arms.
"I'm sorry. I promise it won't happen again." He whispered, but he was actually looking at .
I smiled and started eating while Jayden started packing my clothes.
