Chapter 91 - A Chance (1/2)

The sunset we saw there was very beautiful. It's charm can't be compared to the sunset we see at the beach or at the mountain. Without being very extravagant it felt so calm and alluring. Sometimes, the plain things can be very interesting and mesmerising for a person.

It got dark as soon the sun bid us goodbye. Stars began to pop up one by one, covering the whole sky. Everything happened so fast and we witnessed it.

The crippling sounds of the insects echoed around us. There was a forest across the lake. Since the darkness of night begun to spread, wild animals will roam freely.

Yet we wanted to spend some more time there, gazing at the starry night, without paying any attention.

It felt like we were the only living beings in the whole world.

After a long drive, we finally reached home. Lucy had prepared dinner for us so, Stella won't have to cook with her worn out body. She went straight to the dining table and sat on the chair.

” I'll go take a bath.” My body was little sweaty. Not only that, I was also bitten by some mosquitos when we were at the lake. It felt itchy and I can't take a single bite of my food in that condition. Excusing myself from there I went straight to my room.

” Fine. I'll be waiting for you.” She said.

After taking a shower my body became fresh, filled with energy. I put on some comfy cloths. At that time I received a text. It was from Neil. I opened to see what he wrote.

** Yo! Dad signed the papers. I'll inform you when I'm gonna kick him outta my house. LOL.**

That was fast. I hope everything goes well. I texted him back to reply.

** Okay then.**

Next morning I left for my office, leaving Stella alone at home. Lucy is also there to look over her. I hope nothing bad happens in my absence.

On the other hand, Mr. Carlton may show up at my place today. That's why I wanted to finish my work as soon as possible. I also told Neil to inform me beforehand. That way, I can be present at home to control the situation.

My work ended somehow even though my mind was still at home. John was also irritated by my lack of concentration. Both of us are hardcore workaholics. Sadly John is still single. He won't perceive my circumstances. I quickly left the office and reached there earlier than I usually do.

” Welcome back.” As usually Stella greeted me with a warm smile. I trapped her in my embrace and rested my head on her petite shoulder.

” How was your day? Sorry, I couldn't call you in the lunch time.” With a tired voice I replied.

” It's fine. My day was just boring without you.” A smile appeared on my face hearing her lovely words.

” That's understandable. What's for dinner?”

” Don't be impatient. Go freshen up.”

After taking a bath, I wore a T-shirt with a shorts and came downstairs. My ŀȧptop was with me since I gotta finish some work. Around 7: 15 P.M. the door bell rang. It must me Mr. Carlton. I was already inform by Neil. Lucy went to the door to escort the person. Surprisingly Mrs. Carlton, my mother-in-law was also with him.
