Chapter 49 - Being a single mother (2/2)
Being a mother of two kids is not an easy feat, she needs to work twice no, four times harder than usual in order to feed them especially now that she's far from her parents.
Thevarian Empire, being the most prosperous empire on the whole world, means that the cost of living is much higher compared to other places, especially now that their family is living in it's Capital City, where getting a small condo will cost you billions.
They haven't paid their house yet, her father is the one to pay the downpayment which already cost them half a billion, there's another half left to pay and she insisted to be the one to handle it.
The foundation of their family, Adam, doesn't know them, not even Celestia's name.
She heaved a long sigh, that job is the one she is counting on to fix her dilemma but it turns out to be the day where she will meet Adam.
Ohh, how luck betrayed her!
"Mommy, can you please read again Daddy's letter for you?" Eden seldom makes a request but when she does, it's mostly about her father.
"Okay baby, later at bedtime okay?" she said while preparing the plates for the three of them to eat.
"Thanks, mom" the little girl smiled wide, her cheeks showing her two dimples.
Adam's letter, the one he tried to hide to her back then...it was short yet sweet.
(Please refer to chapter 32)
"To my beloved,
I never knew that a person's heart can be capable of beating this fast until I met you. You are my sunshine in this dark world, a blooming flower amidst my desert, you Celestia, will always be my Eve. Time will test us again but please hold on to this love we shared, I'm not used to writing this kind of letter but I hope my message passed through, it only meant I love you.
-Yours forever, Adam"
She found it folded on a book full of poems when she cleaned up her room, it's on the page where the poem, "I carry your heart with me" written by E.E Cummings, giving a hint about his departure.
Adam knew he will leave, he must leave... he knew yet he chose not to tell her.
