Chapter 50: Chapter 50

He touched my face, but I slapped his hand. I don't want his skin to touch me even a little because of his behavior. I hurried to come here just for him, but he didn't seem to have a mind about why I was waiting for him. My sobs grew louder at the thought.

He immediately hugged me and stopped me from crying, but my tears would not stop. They just go on like a river pouring down. My chest hurts from what he is doing to me. I thought everything would be fine, no matter how he treated me, as long as he made sure he knew what he felt for me.

I hugged him in return. Likewise, I'd like to assist him to understand how he feels about me. Furthermore, I was simply thinking that the fact that he had a lady to talk to was causing me pain. Because of my terror, it felt as though someone was hunting me down like a serial murderer. I won't let him leave my side, and let him show how much he loves me, and maybe then I'll finally accept his love for me.

“Don't cry … How can I let you go if you don't want to let me go?" He whispered to me, but I didn't pay attention to what he was saying. I don’t know what he meant or what those words meant.

He eventually caresses me with his repeated comforting. Because he did that, I fell asleep, and he carried me into my room. As he brought me inside, I simply put my two hands around his. I'm still sobbing, but it doesn't stop me from breathing. He kissed my forehead first before laying me on the bed.

I've noticed that I'm making a difference in my daily life. My previously restless soul has now fallen fast asleep. My food is also improving, so I suspect I'm pregnant, but I feel it would be better not to tell Adonis yet because we're not getting along well. I was tired, even though it was barely midday. I couldn't resist my sleepiness any longer, so I shut my eyes without informing him again. I hadn't even noticed he was gone.

Something swelled in my tummy as I was sleeping. When it stopped, it rang again, and I awoke. My shoulder bag from earlier is already glowing. When I turned around, I glimpsed that it was dark. I slept longer than I expected. I'm now conscious because I'm so satisfied with my sleep.

When I glanced at who was on the screen, I saw Cole's name. Wasn't he supposed to be on a business trip? Why is he phoning right now? I promptly answered the phone and placed it to my ear. I didn't say anything and instead waited for him to say something. I was the only one who talked when he didn't respond. Cole has been like this since Adonis and I went to the province. It's unsettling to look at him because of what he does. He'll call but won't say anything.

“Hello!” I'm irritated, and it looks like I warned him. The way I did it, someone could believe I was reprimanding him. Who wouldn't feel irritated if the delicacy of your slumber is ruined by someone disturbing your sleeping spirit? It would be great if he could restore the sleep I lost. I assumed he wouldn't respond right away, but I eventually received his response as well.

“Luna. My flight got canceled. Can we have dinner?” I could hear him shifting papers, then he spoke again. “I'm sorry if you don't hear me sometimes, we've found codes to prevent the virus from spreading further. The only problem is that it's not enough, so our phones are defective.”

Because of what he stated, my brain came up with an explanation for why he doesn't answer every time I phone him. But it was also an excuse to start talking about the flash drive I was going to give him, and this dinner was great for the two of us to chat. I instantly placed my feet on the chilly floor, allowing the cold to embrace them. What happened to Adonis?

“Okay. I'll just get ready. Just tell me where we can meet, so I can get dressed.” After I told him that, I cut off the phone conversation because if I didn't, we'd move further away. I also didn't tell him I had something to speak to him. I'll just bring it up again later.

I hurried to get dressed. I don’t wear sexy clothes because I want to avoid being cold. I was afraid that I might be pregnant and that would cause my baby to perish. So, what I’m wearing now are yoga pants and a jacket. Because of what I was wearing, I was immediately mistaken for a mother. My clothes weren't even old. It might even be an excuse for Cole to drive me away.

Even on my descent, I did not see Adonis. I see no traces of him in the whole living room. The living room was also dark and quiet. I almost slipped on the stairs because I couldn’t see the steps, I also couldn’t say where I was going to Adonis because I couldn’t find a notepad. In my haste, I almost forgot my bag, so I immediately climbed back. I haven't even got to the location where Cole and I will meet, yet I'm out of breath. How about when I'm already there for dinner? That seems even worse.

Cole is phoning because I've been coming back and forth here at home for a long time. I never responded to that. I banned and then removed his phone number. Then I turned off my phone since I knew it was the final time we'd meet.

I had a long way to go before I could get out. All the lights have been turned off, and I don't see any joy in the Adonis mansion. Is he gone again? When I came out, I passed a guard, but he too came to a halt when he heard my voice. As I approached him, I scowled and collected the paper he had been waving earlier. It was one of the phone numbers when I glanced at it. Is this something I should take?

“Miss Luna, Miss Wendy gave it to you. She says to call her when you have time.”

I looked at the guard with confused eyes. Why would I call Wendy?
