Chapter 59 – His side of the story 1
Jonathan drove aimlessly and stopped outside Liliana’s Villa. He had no idea why or how but he was there.
He wanted to drive around and leave, but suddenly received a call from Liliana.
“Come in, since you are already at the gate.” She said and she hung up before he could say anything.
He went inside unhurriedly with a ton of disturbing thoughts in his head.
In the last few months since Liliana had moved back to P city, Jonathan had formed quite a good equation with Liliana and her kids.
The longing in his heart kept increasing day by day.
He could only be their mother’s friend to the twins. He hated it so much. But he had no right to ask for more.
Liliana seemed to have seen his somber mood as she guided him to the swings in the garden instead of inviting him inside the house where the twins would be taking classes at that time.
“What’s wrong with you?” She asked directly, trying to sound normal and hiding her emotions.
He looked up at her with a complicated expression and she panicked.
She quickly added, “I am sorry for being rude. You don’t have to tell me if it’s not something I should be privy to.”
He lowered his head and sighed before saying, “I am married.”
Liliana was stunned, “What?”
He decided to explain things properly and clarify later in case she misunderstood.
He had never opened his heart to anyone before, but he could not resist when Liliana asked him.
He started from the beginning, “When I was 13, I went to a beach to commit suicide.”
Liliana felt her heartache at his words. When they had first met, they were both kids. She had thought that he looked too sad, but she had never realized he had gone there to commit suicide.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Oblivious to Liliana’s discomfort, Jonathan continued, “At the last moment, I thought I should not give up. I should not make things that easy for my family. Just as I was thinking things over, an 8-year-old girl showed up out of nowhere. She pulled me down and kissed me on the lips.”
He smiled at that but it was a sad one, “Then she very self-righteously said that since she had given her first kiss to me, after I grow up, I should fall in love with her, woo her, marry her, love and cherish her for the rest of my life and treat her as a Queen. I spent a week with her and her mother. That was the best week of my life.”
Jonathan said that so wistfully with a faraway look on his face as if he was reminiscing the past.
Liliana had complex feelings. ‘If that was the case, why did you forget me?’
She wanted to ask it out loud but the words felt too heavy to leave her lips.
