Chapter 150: Chapter 150

Yes, do not be speechless, I Know that you are shock, you aren't expecting my reaction to be like this, but what can I do? What do you expect me to do?

She managed to compose herself, she is finding it difficult with Jayden's eyes, she move her gaze from Jayden then move to the window, she want the wind to take away all her pains.

It's been a long time, I have almost forgotten how it's to long for someone, to be love by someone. To long for yourself or the one that you love not for your parents. To wish, to cry, to be happy because of your heart desires.

Gracy, I still think that there is people, who are out there, capable of been love.

What about me? Am I not capable of been loved? I am not all that bad, am I? Do I look really incapable of being love? Now her voice betrayed her, those emotions she try to keep inside, even though she seem unaffected.

I Know you don't love me and you never love me but still, you agree to marry me, why?

Don't you think it's better to marry someone, you trust not the one who keeps leading you under the pretence of love? I gave up on love and marrying you is better than being with a total stranger. She replied Jayden still facing the sun ray coming from the windows.

"People change Gracy" she turned around, folding her hand under her breast and look at Jayden.

What if I changed? What if I change into something that you couldn't recognize or probably to the girl, you fall for, will you marry me?

What do you want me to say? Jayden answer her with yet another question.

Nothing but the truth, not lies. Gracy voice out.

He sighed, then inhale deeply, her eyes didn't leave him, which means, she wants an explanation, he walked a bit closer to her. Staying in arm length from her.

Will you rather I marry you, when we don't love each other and have a terrible relationship each passing day?

No, you don't want that. He answer for her. You deserve better, I can't watch you go through that trauma all in the name of marriage.

He didn't answer the question, he directed it to her back, none of them said a word after that, Jayden was the outspoken one but not Gracy, she is the opposite of Jayden, she prefers staying on her own. But this time, Jayden seems to lost his tongue.

Ahem! Gracy clear his throat. You don't have to worried about the engagement, I am not going to stand on your way, I am not the devil.

Gracy...

She raised her hand to stand him

It's never easy to find love, so once you do, you should cherish it, I have watch you, this passed years, you are happy, I could see her in you, you two make a perfect match, she is every man's dream.

Jayden face drop, remembering the situation between Kathleen and him, he felt empty. Why are you sad? Is everything alright, you look sad?

Not really, is nothing I can't sort out.

Is it because of me? Is she suffering because of me?

She find out about us, she is hurting, she doesn't want to talk to me, I am sorry, I really don't want to hurt any of you.

Why do you keep apologizing, for things, you are not capable of controlling? You can't turn back the hand of time

I could still make the present right. Jayden words where sincere.

Stop worrying about me, I will be fine, let's think of how we could help the man in love. Jayden force a smile. Have you thought of what to do? We should tell our family head about the situation.

Oh that, I will have to come clean and make them understand, although, I try talking it out with father but he is not buying it.

You are something, don't worry, I could handle my dad but you have to do very well to handle yours, if your dad reject it, it might be difficult.

Not to worry, if you support me, I am aware that, dad will not be all that mad, it will take just little time, everything will be fine.

Naughty you, just leave it to me

****

Barbara was a bit relief that Dante hasn't been around and she too haven't gone home to meet him, she spend most of the time at the hospital.

Father, I am glad you are getting better and the doctor said you will be free to go home later, you should have your drugs now. She grabbed the drugs, her phone ping, she gives the drugs to her father then check the message.

[It's noon already, what should we have for lunch, Love]

He just realized I still exists. She murmured to herself, another message comes up.

[Sorry love, I was abit busy]

Her eyes bulge out, she thought Dante had forgotten about her, she try to act normal then type for him, she realized that she was missing Dante too.

[No need, mother is bring lunch, you can skip]

Dante smiled as he see the message, she is trying to shoo him away, Dante send another message to her.

[I will pick you by evening them, I know your dad will be discharged today]

Barbara didn't reply, she just drop her phone, Calvin look at her. Why are you been harsh at him? He is only caring, I am sure, he wants to have lunch with us and you have just shoo him away.

Father, why do I feel that, you are ganging up against me? Even though he is not here and you are here, you always know what he wants to do.

Sit here, sit beside father! He tap the empty space close to his bed, she obey and sit beside him.

Barbara dear, I know it's difficult for you to trust him and give him your full heart back, I hope you will someday be able to let go of what he did to you and trust him back.

It's a good start that you pick him in this trial marriage...

Father!

Come on, I know you dragged him to the registrar. Barbara facepalm herself, Calvin caress her hair. If you only knew how relieve and excited I am to know that, Dante was the one you ended up with, I will be more excited if you finally accept him fully into your heart. Not to worry, I am not going to force you into accepting him completely. Take your time... little by little; step by step. But please don't pushed away the man that is ready to love you.

Barbara pouty and look at her father. You shouldn't worried about that loony, he is used to my barbaric attitude towards he, anyways, he is not going...

Her words hook, when the news on the TV display, Calvin turn his gaze to Barbara, she felt the ground should open and shallow her up.
