Chapter 180: Chapter 180

Raymond came out with a curious expression and quickly wrapped his hand around Leilani's waist. He no longer wondered if there was anyone in front of them now. Even Sasha obviously wondered why Raymond acted like that around Leilani. She still doesn’t seem to believe that the two have a relationship.

When I turned my attention to Sasha again, she cried even harder. No one oppresses her, why is she so dramatic? I'm about to cut my nerves with her excessive acting!

“Sasha, you see. They have a relationship more than a friend.” I was losing hope of explaining to her why Leilani had reacted that way earlier.

My sigh deepened as she turned away from us like a child in a tantrum. I just ignored her and turned away as well. I'm too busy to bother about her. If she wanted, they can just leave here.

I no longer know what happened to the couple and left them there. I planned to go back to my office to just read some papers there.

But as I was walking, I passed by the living room to watch at the news I was hearing. It must have been too early for Athen to watch the news. Shouldn't she be watching a cartoon now?

When I got to the living room, she just stared straight at the tv as she hugged her doll tightly. I wouldn't have ignored her but she suddenly raised her hand and pointed at the screen so even I, could look at it.

"It's daddy." Because of what she said, I frowned. Who is the daddy she is referring to?

When I finally turned my head to the television, my body lost strength and I would have almost fallen if I hadn't just sat quickly on the couch. Tears welled up in my eyes and I didn't care if Athen saw me. I want to release all my tiredness from these tears.

It's Adonis. He is alive. His video just kept playing on the screen as it was reported that he was spotted at an unknown airport while on his way home.

Why is he still not coming back here? Doesn’t he know we’ve been waiting a long time? How can he just walk where he doesn't let us know..Why are you unfair Adonis? Are you mad at me? How about Athens?

She miss you a lot.

No.

We miss you.

Please, come back to us.

I was not aware that tears were falling in my eyes. It was as if I was choking because of the pain in my heart. Something is stuck in my throat.

Athen got up and walked towards me. I didn’t know what to tell her. I don’t know how to explain to her that even I, don’t know why her daddy is there and not coming back here.

But I thought, that's the only news that will crash us, I'm wrong. When Jessica's face flashed in the video as she and Adonis held hands, it was as if I wanted to punch my chest to stop it from hurting.

"Mommy." Athens couldn't resist either and even she started to cry. I want to apologize to her because I can't please her like the day she was happy with Adonis.

[According to the news, Jessica Sy and Adonis Salander may get married.]

My chest felt heavier when I heard it. Is this really your resolution? Are all my worries and fears for you just irrelevant? Did you really mean to hide.

I covered Athen's ears because I didn't want her to hear what the news caster would say next. It's enough for me to listen to it.

When I made sure the news was over, I let go of her head and when she looked at the news, it was ended.

"Mommy, are you okay?"

Her question made me cry even more. What is the naivety of a child still innocent in such a thing?

"Luna?"

Wendy ran towards us with a worried expression on her face. She looked around as if looking for someone. Maybe, she thought someone was trying to kill me again.

How shameless of me thinking that I should die so the grieving and agony would be gone.

I'm probably the most selfish person living in the world. I am thinking about that while my daughter will sympathize with me so that I will not feel sadness.

"Athena, what happened to you, why do you look like that?!" She grabbed both my arms and shook me but my eyes were like a river because it didn't stop.

How will this suffering end? I want to know because I don’t want it anymore.

I didn’t answer her and just kept staring into space because I wanted to think it was all just a dream.

Am I insane when I say that it’s better to just lose him than to see him with someone else?

I can't cope up with pain. I don’t know how I’m going to handle it because as I blink, a thousand grains of tears saying I'm in pain and I can’t anymore.

“Please, Luna tell me what's happening to you. Why are you acting like that?” Wendy hugged me and started calling. “Hey, Lei and Nana. Get Luna some water, please.”

“Hey, don’t stress yourself. That's not good for your pregnancy.” I pat her back because she should not feel my sadness.

I let go of my hug with her. Raymond and Mark entered just in time. I don’t know where Leilani is now maybe she’s still in the garden.

Nana ran in a hurry and handed me the water. I took it and gulped. I stared at the remaining water and wondered what was going on.

"What happened here?" Mark was the first to ask and approached Athen. Athen burst into tears as Mark lifted her up. "What happened, baby, hmm?" He is already wiping Athen's tears ..

"Daddy ... Daddy will marry someone else."
