Chapter 44 You're My Wife

• Lotus sat in her empty mansion, feeling a sense of loneliness creeping up on her. She missed her kids, James and Jennie, who were in Australia with Monica. Her kids were the primary reason why she was still pushing and living on. They were the primary reasons why her life still had a bad balance, why she was even trying to make sure her relationship worked with Peter. But it seems that wasn't going to be possible anymore. She just realized that he was using her all this while. But for what? If he wanted Sheila, why was he trying to make her fall in love with him, which she did? Despite all the caution she put, she fell so hopelessly in love with him that she would begin a nagging sense of peace that she knew.
• She picked up the phone and dialed her best friend's number. Natasha recently flew to Australia on behalf of Lotus to visit James and Jenny.
• "Hey, Lotus. How's everything going?" Natasha asked on the other end of the phone. Her voice could portray how much she missed the younger woman. There were soft noises in the background. James and Jennie playing together, but Natasha knew that Lotus might not be in the best mood to talk to them.
