Chapter 227: Chapter 227

IN THE EVENING

“Rebecca, I just searched for a new cafe. What do you say? Shall we go?”

“I’m feeling bored and we don’t go anywhere for so long,” Julia looked at Rebecca with a puppy look who was silently reading a book on the couch.

Rebecca first wanted to deny it as she just wanted to relax in the house after coming from the hospital but watching her friend's puppy expression, she let go of her thought and agreed to go, “Alright, Let’s go.”

“Great!” Julia stood from the couch with a cheerful smile, “Let’s get ready fast then we need to be there on time.”

“On Time? But why?” Her brows raised with doubt.

Julia smirked playfully, “Because I found that they hired a young man who sings very well and his program started just right in the evening.”

She puts the book from her lap to the table and stares at her friend with a teasing expression, “What would you do if Sam knows, you are going to a cafe to check on a new young man?”

Hearing that Julia pouted her lips, “Why would I need to tell that? It’s not like I’m cheating on him. I just want to admire young artists. That’s all! And it’s not a crime!”

Rebecca chuckled to hear her and stood from the couch, “Oh Really?”

“Yeah!” Julia flashed a smirk which made her crack up next time.

AT NIGHT

Both women come out of the cafe and take a cab to go back home. After entering the car, they both started talking about the music guy.

“That guy has a real musical talent, I must say.” Rebecca admired him after listening to his song.

“Yeah, you are right. He is too good at his work and you noticed how that handsome guy smiled in our direction many times while singing on the stage. I think he falls for our beauty.”

Julia’s words made Rebecca chuckle and ask her, “What about you? Don’t you fall for his beauty?”

She rolled her eyes to hear her words and said, “Oh come on! Stop pulling my legs. Yes, the guy was handsome, he got a cute smile,” Rebecca wanted to laugh hearing her admiring words while making an upset face, “But, I already had my man so all I can do is admire that guy from afar and wish him the best to get a hot girl just like me.”

Rebecca chuckled and gave a statement, “Yeah, You are absolutely right. But I don’t think God made another Julia.” There was a teasing hint in her tone which made Julia grins and proudly replied, “Now, that’s true…”She crossed her arms.

“I think that guy needs to wait until next life to get together with me.” She sexily smiled at last which made Rebecca crack up in laughter and next go Julia also joined her in that.

With laughing and talking like this, they arrived in front of the home. After paying the cab man, they walked towards the building entrance where they saw a watchman talking to an old man in a suit whose back was facing them.

From afar they can see Watchman arguing with the man.

“What’s happening there?” Rebecca's tone turned concerned.

“Don’t know, Let’s see,” Julia stated.

When they got closer, they finally could hear them.

“Why can't I go inside and meet my daughter? I already showed you my ID Card.” The old man yelled with a frustrated face when the watchman almost stopped him from entering the building.

“Sir, I already informed you, the people you are mentioning are outside for now from the apartment, whenever they will be back, you can come then. But for now, I can not permit you to enter.”

The man's disappointed face responds, “But I’m the guardian… ”

“Sorry Sir, We got strict words from the building owner to not let any new faces enter without recognition. A few weeks ago a big incident happened here which made us go now strictly with strangers.”

The man felt helpless that he could not go inside, “Alright, if that’s the case, I’ll wait outside until my daughter comes.”

The watchman did not stop him from doing that while the man turned with a heavy sigh and when he looked straight his eyes winded with shock.

He saw Rebecca, her daughter standing in front of him with red moist eyes.

“Rebecca…My daughter…” Mr Wilson's eyes got tears and he instantly walked towards her.

On the other side, Watching her father, in front of her eyes after so many months long, she wanted to cry, she wanted to go and run to hug dad. But she controlled her emotions to do that.

She remembered her stepmother’s words that his dad doesn't want to see her any longer which showed he still cares about Nick but not him. And it hurts her deeply.

“Oh, my daughter!” mumbling with a broken emotional tone he took his daughter into a fatherly hug but Rebecca didn’t hug him back even though her arms were raised automatically, she with a tough heart pulled it down without hugging him.

She was hurt and didn't try to hide it.

“Dad…”

“What are you doing here?”

She wanted to cry on her father's shoulder but hiding that thought, she tried to sound tough at last.

While on the other side hearing his daughter's question, He let go of the hug and looked at her with concerned eyes which got tears in them, “Of course, I come to meet my daughter, my life.” He cupped her face with shaking hands as he could not believe the daughter he was searching for the whole time was so close to him but he was all lost and depressed with guilt to blame himself for her sudden departure when in reality his wife made her do that.

She flinched with doubt to hear her dad’s words, “What are you saying, dad? I thought you don’t want to see me after I sent your son to prison,” She held her dad’s hand and pulled it down from her cheeks with hurt and anger.

Mr Wilson's eyes lashed lowered as he felt so guilty at this moment. He paused for a moment and then looked back at her with apologetic eyes, “Daughter, I know, you are angry, But can we talk in someplace? I promise I’ll answer you for everything.”

Rebecca looked at her father's guilty eyes and could not help but nod to hear him. She wanted to know why he said hurtful words to her and why he ignored his daughter even after knowing how much pain she suffered during her past time.

In the apartment,

Julia silently open the door and looked at Mr Wilson, “Please come in Uncle”

Mr Wilson slowly entered and looked around.

“Uncle, you can sit there.” Julia pointed towards the couch.

Mr Wilson nodded and walked there while Rebecca entered after them and saw her father sitting on the couch with a lowered gaze.

Julia walk to her and held her hand, “Babe, stay strong and solve the issue between you and your dad”

She glanced at her and nodded with a weak smile.

‘I’ll be outside. If you need me, just call me.” Julia explained and left both father-daughter pairs alone to talk.
