Chapter 140 - Absolutely, Positively 14: The Truth She Didnt Want (1/2)
”Have you forgotten how he did you at the restroom? He said you enjoyed it,” the nasty girl egged and Jena's sister hit the table and stood up in anger.
”Okay, that's enough,” she said as she grabbed Jena's hand and pulled her up.
”Miss, your order's here,” the waiter said and Jena's sister took a huge bill out of her bag and handed it to the man.
”Good,” the furious sister said as she took the glass of lemonade and threw the contents at the malicious bitches who screeched in shock. ”Let's go,” she said as she grabbed Jena's hand and pulled her out of the café and back to their waiting car.
”Big Sis…” Jena spoke for the first time and her sister quickly turned to her.
Jena's eyes were filled with tears, her body shaking as her hands covered her mouth.
”Jena…” her sister called out and she broke down.
”Big Sis, it's not Alvin. It's not him. I'm so dirty... Dirty!” she cried, and her sister's heart broke into many pieces for her.
For a while, they remained in the parked car with the older woman holding the younger one to calm her down. She was totally torn. Jena wept in sorrow for she the truth she wanted to find was not the one she wanted.
At least, it's what she thought.
Her sister, of course, knew the truth. But she also knew that it was not her place to say otherwise. She sighed as she secretly sent a message to her sister's mother-in-law. She had to inform her of what happened. Her brother-in-law, although she understood why he still hadn't informed her sister of what happened since coming out with a secret this huge was a scary thing, she really needed him to confess. Jena was pregnant. It would be bad for both mother and child if she continued to be tormented like this.
A few more minutes and it looked like Jena had no chance of stopping. It was not good. Her sister decided then to drive her home, hoping that tonight, Alvin would man up and tell the truth for everyone's sake.
In an office in the heart of Taipei, Alvin paced restlessly in front of his desk. He didn't know why but he really felt very uneasy. When his personal phone rang, his heart skipped a beat and he didn't waste time to pick it up.
”Yes?”
”Alvin So, you get home this instant and fix your mess!” his mother screeched over the phone and he feared he'd lost his hearing for good.
It was a good thing his father took the telephone from his mother and explained things to him.
”Son, it seems Jena went to the club where you first met and found out about Sam's father.”
”WHAT?” Alvin felt like being sick.
He knew it! He knew there was something wrong. Feeling weak, he sat down on his swivel chair as he raked his hair with his hand.
”Oh my God, she found out I'm Sammy's father…”
”No,” his father answered which made him stop.
”What do you mean no?” he asked and his father sighed.
”She found out that you are not Sam's father.”
”Ha?” How did that happen? ”That's bullshit.”
”I know son, I know. That's why you should go home now and comfort your wife. Her sister said she'd been crying since they came home and refuses to eat. That's not good for the baby,” the old man said and Alvin agreed and ended the call.
Jena…
Now his wife was suffering because of his secret. Worse was that Jena seemed to get the wrong version of the truth. Whoever said those lies, he would find them and show them how wrong they were to mess up with his family. For now— for now he'd go home and comfort his wife, and he prayed that she would forgive him when he told her the truth.
