“Ma, did you see Nate?” Beatrice asked Celestine, sitting at the garden table and cutting leaves from her harvested rose. Celestine looks at Beatrice and puts down the season she’s holding.
“No, is he not telling you where did he go?” Celestine ask. Beatrice shook her head. After the both of them had eaten their breakfast earlier, Beatrice overlooked Nate.
“Maybe he is with Rayver,” Celestine said, signaling Beatrice to come near her.
“Oh, I just didn’t notice that they left the house. He didn’t inform me too.” Beatrice said as she walked towards Celestine.
“Don’t mind him anymore. is our man.” Celestine said and laughed.” Wanna help me with this?” Celestine asked, so Beatrice smiled and grabbed the extra seats beside the table.
“I would love to,” Beatrice said and smiled at Celestine.
On the other hand, Nate got out of his car as he arrived at the park in Vista Luna, the park was already abandoned because of a massacre that happened this previous year. Nate explored the place and saw no one, so he took his phone from his pocket and dealt Eille’s number.
After two seconds, Eille answered the call.
“I am here. Where are you?” Nate asked.
“I am here behind you,” Eille said, so Nate turned around and saw Eille standing behind him. He dropped the call, hid his phone in his pocket, and then turned to look at her again.
“What do you want?” Nate asked. He watched Eille hide her phone from her pocket.
“I just wanted to see you,” Eille said, so Nate frowned and rolled his eyes.
“Is that the only purpose why you order me to go here?” Nate asked with his cold voice.
“Nate, I also want to discuss to you something,” Eille said, so Nate’s brows rose.
“About what?” Nate ask. Eille walks closer to him, grabs his left hand, and then looks into his eyes.
“About us, Nate,” Eille said, so Nate took off her hands on him and calmed himself.
“Look, I already told you that I don’t love you anymore, and you’re just part of my past, and I can be your friend, Eille, that’s all. I can’t give you the love that you want.” Nate said, so Eille looked down, and tears formed in her eyes because of what she said.
“Is that really what you feel?” Eille asks and looks to Nate again.
“Nate, I came back for you…”
“I hope you didn’t do that because I am happy with Beatrice now,” Nate said.
“You love her?”
“Yes, so please stop bothering me anymore because I already told you I can’t give you the love you like. We will build a family soon as Beatrice is bearing my child, so stop bothering her,” Nate said. Eille was stunned because of what he said.
“She’s what?” Eille asked.
“She’s bearing my child, Eille. I will be a father soon, so stop bothering me,” Nate said seriously, so Eille laughed and turned to look at the sky.
Nate watched her momentarily, then turned his back to her as he was ready to leave.
“How about me, Nate?” Eille asked, so Nate stopped and closed his eyes as he heard her voice crack.
“How about me? Is this really what you like? how about your promise to me?” Nate turned his back to face her because of what she said.
“What do you mean promise, Eille? Since you betrayed me, there is no promise anymore, that promise has already vanished from the air.” Nate said, and his voice was high and angry.
“I didn’t betray you, and I just need to do that because Darwin holds my life and my freedom,” Eille said, so Nate laughed sarcastically while looking at Eille.
“Really? Then that’s not my problem anymore.” Nate said so. Eille hurts so much because of what he said; she thinks Nate can’t forgive her for what she did, and because she loves him so much, she has no choice but to do her last card to win Nate’s heart again.
“Are you just gonna leave me here alone, Nate?” Eille asked as she saw that Nate would leave him there.
“I told you what I need to say, Eille. There’s nothing we can talk about,” Nate said and took a deep breath.
“Please don’t make this hard for the both of us. Think about yourself.” Nate added, so Eille laughed in pain and wiped her tears.
“If you care about your baby with Beatrice, what about your son with me, Nate?” Eille asked, which made Nate stunned for a second because of what he heard.
“What?” Nate asks while his brows are frowning.
“Yes, Nate, you have a son to me,” Eille said with all her heart dedicated to this that this is only her last card to win Nate again, and she will not accept when she loses her chance.
“What do you mean?” Nate said and laughed nervously. He thinks of the past first as he can’t remember that something happened to them in the past.
“We have a son, Nate, and he’s four years old. His name is Caliber, and he is your son Nate.” Eille said, so Nate was stunned more.
He can’t think generally because he is stunned by the fact that Eille said those words.
“Are you making a mess now? Eille, stop it. It’s not a good joke.” Nate said while looking at Eille.
“Do I look like joking, Nate? I am telling you the truth.” Eille said and laughed. “That is why I came back for you, Nate because I want us to be a complete family, I want to introduce you to your son as his dad because he always looks for you,” Eille said, and her tears formed again.
“That is also one reason I need to betray you: I need to protect our son, Nate. I need to protect him from Darwin,” Eille added, wiping her tears aggressively.
“You don’t know how much pain it gave me that time, and you don’t know how much pain it caused me betraying you to save our son.”
Nate doesn’t know what to say and is shocked that he has a son with Eille. And now that Eille reveals the truth, he feels uneasy and hurt that Beatrice will be mad at him.
“I will not believe you until I don’t see the child,” Nate said, so Eille laughed.
“You just wasting my time,” Nate added, getting into his car.
“Fine, Nate, let’s meet again tomorrow. I will bring our son and introduce you to him.” Eille said that Nate swallowed while looking in front of him before he started his car engine and drove away.
