Chapter 73: Chapter 73

SIMOUNE

I woke up early because I knew Bruce and I would be leaving early because for sure there would be traffic jams today. I immediately went downstairs and saw Nanny Lily in the kitchen

"Good morning, are you not going to eat lunch here because you and Bruce are leaving early, right?" Nanny Lily asked

"Yes, I guess" I said

I immediately took out my phone to text Bruce if he was awake

“Bruce? Are you awake?” I texted

"Yes, I've eaten and then I'm going to go, sorry if I didn't text right away because I took care about myself and my things of it as soon as I woke up" Bruce replied

"It's okay, I'll take also preparing my things and myself” I texted

I ate and then I drank coffee, after I finished eating I immediately went up to the room to take a shower. After I finished taking a shower, I put on my makeup and got dressed, I was also holding the gifts I was going to give to mommy when I went down the stairs

Bruce was right because when I got off he was already outside the house, so I quickly said goodbye to Nanny Lily

"Nanny Lily Bruce and I are leaving" I said

"Be careful!" Nanny Lily said

I hugged Nanny Lily then I walked out of the house and immediately got into the car

"Am I a little late?" Bruce asked

"I guess you’re right in time, go now! What you're wearing is nice" I said

“Really? Thank you! You are beautiful too. Actually every day" Bruce said while smiling at me

"You're still ballin!" I said

"That's not true, that's why I liked you, but it looks like you don't like me because you're not answering me" Bruce said

I was stunned by what Bruce said, he was right that I hadn't answered him yet but I wasn't ready yet. I still found the time and the right time to answer him, I don't want him to think that I will make him a cover for Vince because I won't do that

"Maybe it's not the right time to answer you, are you impatient?" I said

“Oh no! I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously, I told you I can wait for you even if it takes a long time because I'm that serious about you" Bruce said and smile

"Thank you for waiting" I said

I was annoyed because even Bruce didn't know the hotel we were going to so we used google maps. When we arrived at the location given, I didn't know if I would be happy or not

"Let's go inside?" Bruce asked

"Alright, what time is it? We'll just be there for a while, okay" I said

"Alright, I'll just park our car" Bruce said

Bruce parked and then we got off, Bruce carrying the gifts we wrapped yesterday and then entered the hotel. I immediately asked for the room that Mommy told and the hotel staff showed us that room. I was nervous as we got closer and closer to the room, and when we were at the door I didn't know what I would really feel

"Ma'am, here is the room you are referring to" Staff said

"Okay, thank you" I said and smile to her

Bruce and I went in and it turned out that the crowd was quite small, I looked for Mommy and saw her preparing plates and napkins

"Simoune!?" Mommy said with a happy voice

She immediately ran to me and then hugged me very tightly

"I missed you, oh Bruce is with you" Mommy said

"Hello aunty" Bruce said to mommy

"We won't be here long because I still have class tomorrow" I said

"Is that so? But can you wait for the event to start before you leave? Your step sister and step brother aren't here yet" Mommy said

"Alright, we'll wait" I said and smile

"Thank you, you and Bruce should eat first" Mommy said

I couldn't stop crying so I immediately pulled Bruce to the food to serve and we could eat. We sat at the table and then Bruce and I ate

"Are you okay?" Bruce asked

"I’m okay, I just can't talk to Mommy as if nothing happened" I said trying to calm myself

"Have you still not forgiven her?" Bruce asked

"No, but daddy said I should forgive mommy already" I said

"Is it that hard to forgive her?" Bruce asked

"Yes because she hurt me and Daddy" I said

"But you need to forgive Simoune because auntie is happy with her new family now and I hope you will be happy for her too" Bruce said

"I'm trying, but not yet" I said

We finished the meal and then we sat on the sofa to wait for the other guests. I don't know but I still can't forgive Mommy because maybe she hurt Daddy so much that I can't accept her. A few minutes later, mommy's family arrived, so she immediately called me to introduce me to her family

"Hon, Simoune is my daughter with Ferdinand" Mommy said

"Oh hello dear, welcome to the party" Stepdad said while smiling at me

"Thank you" I shortly said

"This is Mica and Mico, your step sister and brother" Mommy said

"Hello Mica and Mico, happy birthday Mica" I said

I handed Mica and Mico the gift I bought for them, I also handed my gift to mommy. I just remembered that I didn't buy anything for uncle

“Oh! Thank you for this Simoune" Mommy said, mommy hugged me and then kept thanking me

"You have another step brother, he is your uncle's son from his 1st wife. Wait, he even took his daughter by the chin" Mommy said

I was immediately surprised and I couldn't move the person I saw... Vince?

"Hello aunt Lisa where is your daug—---" Vince was shocked to see me

We both fell silent when we saw each other, he seemed to be okay. He looked more like a same person

"Charles, it's Simoune. Simoune this is Charles your uncle’s son” Mommy said

I have no choice but to give my gift to Charles or Vince whatsoever. So he calls mommy Lisa? Short for Malissa!? WTFFF! I don't know why there are so many people but I can see Vince again at the birthday party WTF!

"Wow, your daughter is beautiful aunt" Vince said

"Of course, that's really nice, maybe I'll inherit it" Mommy said

"Thank you Simoune for the gift" Vince said and start smiling at me

The event had already started so I went back to the seat where Bruce was sitting, even Bruce couldn't believe what he saw

"Vince is your step brother!?" Bruce asked

“Yes? Maybe? Possible?" I said

"With so many other people you can see why is he still" Bruce said angrily

While Bruce was talking, I was just staring at them. Mommy doing her things while they were talking with her family, she looked so happy. Maybe I just need to forgive Mommy for everything that happened and Vince? I never thought I would see him again. He seems to be a good father to Lopie because Mila is still in jail

I invited Bruce to go home because I know for myself that everything I saw was enough to forgive Mommy. The important thing is that she is happy. Bruce and I immediately got up and then I approached mommy

"Mommy, Bruce and I are leaving. Uncle, thank you for the invitation, Mico and Mica see you soon" I said

"Are you coming home already?" Mommy asked

"Yes, I still have things to do. Maybe next time we'll meet again" I said

Mommy hugged me, I haven't felt this for a long time so I hugged Mommy back. Bruce and I walked out of the room and we were surprised when Vince followed us, Bruce was about to punch Vince but I stopped him

“Bruce! Don't! " I said

"I have no bad intentions, I just want to talk to you" Vince said

Maybe it's time for me to forgive Vince? Because that's what Daddy taught to forgive

"Alright Bruce get in the car first" I said

"Are you sure?" Bruce asked

"Yes, come on" I said and smile

Bruce walked out of the hotel while I was left with Vince

"Why? What do you want to say?" I asked

"I want to apologize to you for all the lies I've done to you, I'm also sorry because of what Mila and Mila's father did to you. I feel sorry for you. I'm really sorry Simoune!” Vince said while holding my hands crying

I don't know why I'm crying because of what Vince is saying, maybe it's because I loved him so much then that's why I'm acting like this

"That's over, so I will insist that you be forgiven, but I can just ask you, have you ever loved me?" I asked

"I loved you so much Simoune, but maybe I wasn't satisfied that's why Trisha became my fuck buddy" Vince said

Now my questions have been answered, maybe he loved me but we were at the wrong time so we didn't work

“Thank you for answering, and thank you for your love then! Alright, I'm leaving" I said

He hugged me tightly and I felt that he was really sorry for what he had done because until now he has not stopped crying

"Can I take you to the parking lot?" Vince asked

"Alright, it's good that you got Lopie?" I said

We walked towards the parking lot while talking

"Yes, I fought to get her and now I am taking care of Lopie." Vince said

"Good then, you are a good father" I said

“Thank you!” Vince said

We arrived at the parking lot and I saw Bruce waiting for me

"Alright, I'm leaving" I said while smiling at him

“Be careful! Thank you so much Simoune and sorry to everything!” Vince said

I waved at him and then I walked into the car, I saw Bruce frowning at me

"You cried?" Bruce asked

“Yes? Vince apologized to me and then I cried" I said

"Is his face too thick to say sorry to you?" Bruce asked

"You're just jealous aren't you?" I said while smirking at him

"No!" Bruce said trying to hide his jealousy

"Oh okay, you're not jealous" I said

I realized that maybe this is the time I asked the Lord before I answered Bruce, maybe the Lord gave me the choice to forgive then I will enter another relationship again. It looks like I'm ready to forgive a lot and then enter a new relationship, I smile during the ride. I just realized that the Lord opened the door for me to find the right person and that was Bruce

...

When they got home, Simoune immediately told Nanny Lily what happened at the hotel, even Nanny Lily was surprised that Vince was her step brother. Simoune immediately invited Lucy to go to their house to tell the story of about what happened at the hotel

When Lucy, Tony and Clarisse arrived, she immediately told the story and even though they were surprised by Simoune's story they watched a movie and had a snack at Simoune's house, and in the evening they managed to go home. When Lucy, Tony, and Clarisse got home, Simoune also sent Bruce home. Simoune hugged Bruce first before Bruce finally went home to their house

When Simoune had no visitors, she immediately went up to her room and then called her daddy and told her everything that happened. His daddy is very surprised that Vince is her step brother but he is happy because Simoune saw her mommy and she has forgiven her, so even though Simoune's daddy was still angry with Vince, he got him to forgive him for the sake of his daughter.

Forgiveness really helps a lot and everyone who forgives is considered a brave person because even if you were hurt by what happened, you were able to forgive and choose to be happy for them and for yourself
