Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Aria

"Who is that?" I asked Mark confuse, he shook his head in disappointment.

"Chloe's father." He said shortly. I nodded, that's why Lucas's blood boils in one swift.

"Why is he mad like that?" He should be only angry with Chloe, not all the family.

"I don't know also, his blood boils whenever he saw everyone in Chloe's family." I nodded in understanding.

After the party, I told Leticia to let Luke sleep in their bedroom. I needed to talk to Lucas first. There is a possibility we might end up yelling at each other. I let Luke fall asleep in my arms while sucking his milk bottle.

I heard soft snores, confirmed my baby is now asleep.

"Thank you, Leticia. I'll get him ASAP." I said softly, giving Luke in her arms.

"It's fine Aria, take your time." She gave me an assuring smile.

The party was almost successful. It's just that Lucas met his ex-wife's dad who is not invited and ruined his mood. I already bid goodbye to Brent and thanked him for coming.

The maids were already cleaning and reorganizing everything.

"Where will I put Luke's gifts?" Ana asked.

"Luke's bedroom please and thank you," I said and she nodded.

I headed to the bedroom. I saw Lucas was there, on the edge of the bed, his hands on his face.

I walked over to him. My stilettos were clicking, I knew he could hear it.

"Lucas" I whispered and he didn't respond.

I kneeled at him and held his knee.

"Lucas, talk to me please." I pleaded.

"Don't." He said angrily and darkly.

"I am here. Is it hurting again?' I asked softly. We kissed earlier it means he has moved on. I think we shared our first kiss as husband and wife earlier. Is that only a joke for him?

It means a lot to me.

Making me jerk from my place.

"I SAID DON’T! DIDN'T YOU UNDERSTAND!" He yelled at me, his eyes are burning in anger.

Tears formed in my eyes and started streaming down to my cheeks.

"Come on, talk to me. I am going to listen." I tried again, pleading with him.

"I said DON’T!" He shouted at my face. He isn't drunk but why he always does that?

I didn't want to argue anymore.

I nodded at him and walked directly to the door. Tears are continuously flowing down my eyes. I thought we are now ok, I thought we are getting fine, but I was wrong.

I slumped back on the floor where I was standing. I cried my heart out. Why am I feeling this? I feel hurt so much that I didn't imagine in my whole life.

I shouldn't give up, right? I should fight.

We should work things out.

Those past need to be ruin and replace with new and remarkable memories.

I removed my stilettos and calmed myself up. My feet were hurting and tired.

"Aria." Leticia's soft voice. I looked up to see her.

She was looking at me with sympathy on her face.

"Are you alright?" She asked me.

I wiped my tears away.

"I am fine just a little argument. " I chuckled slightly. She nodded at me. I could see she was not satisfied with my answer.

"Luke is awake and looking for you."

"I'll take him. We will sleep in another guest bedroom." She nodded and she helped me stood up.

We walked to their bedroom. I can hear Luke's cries.

I picked up him and he encircled his arms around me.

"Mommy...sad," he said softly.

I chuckled even I was hurting inside. My baby makes me smile.

"No. Mommy is happy because my baby is happy," I said, looking into his eyes. He smiled cheekily at me.

I kissed his forehead and mini lips.

"Gi-gift," he said, clapping his small hands.

We all chuckled. I pinched his nose softly.

"Tomorrow baby, you are tired," I said to him softly.

"Thanks Let and Mark," I said with a smile.

"Aria, the day after tomorrow we will go out for a while, Mark already told Lucas about it, so don't bother it," She said and winked at me., lightening up my mood.

She will be announcing her pregnancy.

"Where we are going?" I asked.

"Leticia planned to go to the Philippines in Boracay for a week maybe, not sure," Mark said.

"My first time exploring the world," I said and we all chuckled.

"We need to bring fresh clothes because it is summer there." I nodded

Even though I am Filipino. I never got a chance to go there. I don’t have money to buy plane tickets and hotel bookings.

"Goodnight guys."

"Nightyyy night"

I gave her a thumbs up.

I walked out to the door and headed to the other guest room with Luke in my arms.

I called Rosaline to get me some clothes, so I can change, also Luke, and told her to look out for Luke first while I am showering. I already took Luke to sleep.

Rosaline came in.

"This is ok?" She asked, handing me my clothes. I nodded and thanked her.

"What is Lucas doing in our room?" I asked her.

We are in a fight right now, but I needed to be sure he is safe.

"Nothing, he asks where are you. I told him you are here." I nodded.

After showering. I dressed up in my clothes.

"Thank you, Rosaline."

She nodded and said, " You are a great mother Aria. I am happy you gave Luke a memorable birthday."

"Because he is my son. I am going to do whatever it takes." I said softly.

"Sir Lucas, forgot his birthday last year but madam Leticia organized and arranged everything." I nodded, I knew Lucas forgot that and Leticia saved the day.

"Go sleep, Rosaline. You are tired also." I said and she left the room.

I changed my son's diaper and changed him into comfortable clothes.

I didn't want to sleep with Lucas even though I am not used to it these days. I always wanted to wake up being the two boys are beside me.

I need a break.

Tomorrow will be a new day. I hope it will get better. What will happen if he keeps pushing me away? I always urge myself to him just to talk to me but he keeps pushing me away.

I am tired to argue. I am tired of today preparing and talking.

I lay down and snuggled close to my son.

I am just going to take a break, closing my eyes and thanking God for what happened earlier.

Drifting me off to sleep.
