Chapter 8

• David came to accompany Lia as she was having some problems with her stomach.
• He didn’t know why she said they came to visit the gynecologist, neither he pondered over this matter as his concentration was fully on Gloria.
• She has become exquisite over time.
• She has gained weight in a better way and her face was also flawless.
• She looked younger now, with light makeup.
• He couldn’t forget how she greeted her indifferently as if they don’t know each other.
• How could she move on so fast when he was still standing where they separated?
• “David,” Lia called and when he looked at her, she was standing with a frown.
• “Where are you lost? It’s our turn.” She jerks his arm but he pulls away from her and stands in a distance.
• “Lia, I have something to deal with. You go on. Noah will accompany you.” David said and leave there not giving her any chance to protest.
• Lia stood there and stomp his leg.
• “How can this bitch still affect him so much?” She thought angrily.
• In these five years, Lia has used every method to make him notice her.
• But he didn’t even give a glance toward her.
• Now when she is back Lia started to feel threatened.
• She didn’t want Gloria to make her lose again.
• David left leaving Noah there but Lia tell him to go after him as she really was not sick. It was a trick to get David’s attention and left after they drive away from the hospital.
• In the car
• Noah was pondering informing David about the upcoming party, but it was important so he took a chance.
• “Mr. Collin, today Mr. Brent is having a business gathering because of his success with the new product launch,” Noah said in a timid voice, but it gathered David’s attention.
• “You know I don’t attend these gatherings.” He said and Noah gulped in fear, noticing his cold gaze.
• “But Mr. Jonathan is attending and everyone needs to take a date with them,” Noah said, but his meaning was clear to David.
• Jonathan has never taken any date with him.
• But it’s not the same now as he has his date present in this country.
• “Inform Lia about the party and tell her I will pick her up at 7,” he says in a dismissive tone and Noah shut up happily.
• He has achieved his goal.
• He doesn’t care what is going on between them, but he didn’t want to be on the receiving end of David’s wrath.
• How could he not notice his affection for Gloria when he is working with him in his ups and lows?
• If he was not affected by her, how could he still be single when any girl will kill to be with him and not forget about Lia?
• He was waiting to see how this party turn’s out for them.
• In White Mansion, the old couple was pondering over how to make their granddaughter’s mood better.
• Diana came out with an awesome idea and they have already put it into action.
• They were waiting for someone who can make them happy even in their saddest moment.
• “Mam, Mr. Writes is here.” The maid informed making her beam up with anticipation.
• “Quickly, bring him here.” She replied and rub her hand happily.
• “Diana, you know how she feels about him and Jonathan’s feelings too.” Mr white warn her but she shake her hand and dismissed his warning.
• “I know. But don’t you think it will be better if they come together? He will keep her happy and protect her from everyone.” Diana replied, but he didn’t agree with her.
• “Henry. It’s been five years and Gloria couldn’t move on from her past. Yes, Daniel can make her happy, But I don’t like how lonely she is. She needs a partner who can be better than Jonathan.” She suggested, but Henry didn’t reply.
• “Hello, Mr and Mrs white.” Jonathan greeted them politely and Diana enthusiastically pull him to sit beside her.
• Though Henry didn’t want to push Gloria into another loveless marriage, he liked Jonathan.
• So he didn’t say anything.
• Who can say maybe they can be together in the future?
• Let’s see how it goes.
• “Jonathan. How are you son?” He asked and Jonathan started to chat with him.
• They were talking about some business when Mrs white stopped them.
• “Jonathan, did you meet Gloria?” She asked, and Jonathan’s face lit up.
• He actually wanted to meet her first.
• But when the couple occupy her, he couldn’t express his heart.
• “No, I will just do it after I finish here.” he said in a respectful tone.
• “What is important to talk about here? Go and meet them. Daniel will be elated,” she said and Jonathan nodded and got up.
• Jonathan has always liked Gloria, and though she never reciprocates, he never moves away from her.
• He has tried to be with her whenever she needed him.
• He didn’t know his behavior of him made Gloria has suffered the most.
• But Gloria was also grateful for him.
• When after her divorce she moved away, Jonathan used to fly there and help her with her pregnancy struggle.
• Gloria won’t remember a single pregnancy checkup when Jonathan was not there.
• She can never thank him enough.
• But Jonathan was clear her gratefulness can’t make her love as there is someone still living.
• Still, he was ready to stay beside her because he can be happy when he see her happy.
• Even if he has to sacrifice her love again, he will do it million times.
• “Jonathan, she is sad. Please take care.” Diana said while he was walking upstairs.
• Jonathan nod and assure her he will take care of it.
• Diana walk to sit beside his husband who was still pondering over her decision.
• “Henry, we will never force her. It will be her decision.” She assured him, and he nodded.
• “I don’t think we should use that child for our selfish motive,” Henry said and she nod.
• “He won’t leave her even if she marries someone else. Love can be painful sometimes.” She sighed.
• How these two souls are suffering only because the person they love doesn’t love them back.
