Chapter 67: Chapter 67

Hi! Barbara.

She type immediately, she got the message, then she facepalm herself. Shit! Barbara, what have you done, are you going to make him believe that you missed him that much, what are you even going to tell him, if he asked about the previous message?

Did you text something or text the wrong person? Li Jun

Wrong person?

She picked the other one, it's her escape root.

Are you saying I am?

No oh! Sorry, wrong window.

He smiled, then run his hand on his nape, Jayden look at him.

Or maybe, you were going through my chat with you and did that?

Barbara eyes bulge out, she is not expecting that Dante will guess accurately, it's shameful, she is not going to accept that, not now, not even in the future.

Why will I do that? She defend herself, Dante chuckled. You are not that important to me. Seeing the other message, Dante frown.

Why did I even text her? He blurt out, Jayden look at him. Stop staring focus on your wheel.

Barbara was expecting him to say something but not a word from him, she wait for ten to fifteen minutes, not another reply, she get restless then text back.

The truth is, I was scrolling through our previous chat. She was been honest, he smiled but then again, he is not sure of what she is looking at.

Why? Did I goof?

Not really?.

Are you sure?

Yes!

So what did you find about my chat?

Where are you? Dante look at the chat, this girl is weird, how could she change mood so fast.

Out of town.

With a girl? Dante eyes bulge out, she is really possessive. Go on!

You are very bossy. She frown, reading Dante's words.

Sorry! The juice in Dante mouth spit out, he wasn't expecting that, Jayden look at him.

She said sorry. Dante is surprise, he can't believe that, Barbara is humble.

Are you there?

I was just thinking, if you will say that to me, facially. Li Jun.

Are you calling me a brat?

Can I see your face? Barbara eyes bulge out, she can't believe what Dante is asking from her. He didn't wait for reply, he changed it into FaceTime.

Why do you want to see my face?

Go on and tell me sorry! Barbara move her lips, to say something, Dante get carried away. I feel like kissing you. Jayden choke, is his turn to get shock because of Dante's words.

What did you say?

Nothing! Nothing! Bye, I will talked to you later. He end the call in a hurry, Jayden look at him. Please don't tease me, I don't love anyone, I only enjoy her company and for the record, I haven't kiss her for awhile now, I only thought of it.

Jayden smiled, he is not going to tease him, he is not in the mood, his thought has been scattered, not been able to get the name of that naughty girl, he spend the night with

Let's go back home, I am tired of this city, I need to rest, I missed...

You missed who?

My bed, brat. Jayden focus back on the road, so tired and have no strength to argue.

****

At Grandpa Jarius' building

Calvin was supposed to return home but work load was way too much, just when he wants to return home, he got a call that, his dad, got another attack, he needed to rush back to him, the old is getting older by the day but he refused to move in with his son.

When his wife die, he could not move on with his social life, he felt everything stop and nothing else matters to him, the two were deeply in love, the lost was sudden and he never forget her, since then he is the shadow of himself.

Calvin is devastated with the news that his father passed out at the mall, he rush in.

Father, you scared me, why have you been tiring yourself out.

Come on son, I only went for a little walk.

Then you collapse at the mall? What were you thinking? Going out without any security?

Calvin please not now, you don't want me to die from your scolding.

Fine, I will stop but you will have to live with me for now.

No! I don't want to, I can't leave this place, I don't want to lose her memory. Calvin closed his eyes, for years, his father did not forget his mother.

How long are you going to do this?

I am fine, I promise this will never happen again, how is Barbara?

She is fine, I spoke to Ethan last night and Ethan told me, she is at Kathleen, that naughty granddaughter of yours, is getting stubborn by the day.

What happened? Grandpa Jarius asked.

He said, he has no idea.

When are you going to tell her?

Tell her what?

The truth about her mother? Her biological parents?

Never, I will never tell her.

Calvin? What are you so afraid of? She might want to hear the truth, she deserves to know the truth, so give her one, don't let her live in the dark, that young lady deserve the truth.

Somethings, are better Left unsaid then say it.

Calvin!

Father stop it, I am not going back on my words, I will never tell her anything about that.

What if she asked?

She will never asked. Calvin grabbed his keys, running his hand on his temple, he is heading to the door.

Calvin!

He turned and look at his father.

I understand, your pain but please, don't let her remain in the dark, very soon, it will hurt her, she might not remember anything because she is way too young then, helping her with it, will be better than hearing it from someone else, they might twist the story and make her feel worthless

It will never come to that. Calvin pushed the door, in as much as he knows, Barbara deserve to know the truth, he can't bring his daughter into that world, never, he is not going to recap that.

Grandpa Jarius sighed badly.

I really hope, Calvin could bring himself to tell the truth, the truth that he is not proud of, the truth that will hurt Barbara, if she finds out everything.

So many times, Hazel asked about Barbara's biological parents, Calvin never gave her an answer because he doesn't want Barbara to know about it and now, his father wants her to know the truth, who her father is?

Knowing the truth about her father, is asking about her mother and Calvin is not going to risk the truth to any one.
