Chapter 174: You’re in love
Genesis just stared at the woman who just spoke and kept staring at her from his rear view mirror as she walked away.
As much as the sight of Tessa annoys her, she must confess that the tone with which she spoke was of someone who felt defeated.
She almost sobbed. Her voice was shaking and her eyes were moist. Was she right when she said he took her mistakenly?
She sighed and rested her head on the seat. She remembered the recording, he moaned her name. She was furious then why he would be making love to Tessa and then moaned her name.
Richard really looked remorseful. He wants to make up with her. He wants them to continue from where they stopped. But then, can she trust him again?
They were all having dinner when Arianna’s phone chirped. There was a text from Genesis. She read it and stood up, “excuse me, I need to see Genesis”
Richard’s attention was drawn to her at the mention of the name Genesis. Is she still within the premises?
“She hadn’t gone?” Jane asked. If Genesis is outside, it only means there’s something keeping her waiting.
“Yes, I guess. I will just check on her” Arianna declared. She kissed Jace’s temple and winked at Cause before going out.
She stepped out and sighted Genesis car. When the latter saw her walking out, she alighted and walked to meet her midway.
“You’re still here, Gene?” Arianna asked, pulling her friend into a hug. She’s always happy whenever she sees her friend.
“I needed to ask you a few questions” Gene replied and brought Arianna back to her car. They got into the car and Genesis said “did you listen to that sex recording I sent you?”
“Yes, I did. But not to the end. Why did you ask?” Arianna asked. Genesis sighed and went ahead, explaining things to Arianna.
What Tessa said and how it relates with what she heard in the recording. Does it mean Richard was not intentional in his act with Tessa?
“Yes, for once, I will speak on the matter. Richard confided in me. He told me he didn’t know it wasn’t you that night. He took Tessa to be you.
He said he wouldn’t do that to you, no matter what happens. I think you should listen to him for once and let him explain things to you.
If you can, forgive him. Richard is a great guy and I think he still loves you. You both can put your differences aside and come together as lovers again, please” Arianna explained.
Genesis sniffled. She had misjudged him. It probably was a mistake. Maybe he hadn’t cheated on her with Tessa when they went to Spain.
“I love him, Arianna, but I can’t get back to him. I probably had wrongly judged him, but I do not want to waste my life any longer, loving any man” Genesis declared.
“Richard still loves you, Gene,” Arianna mumbled.
Genesis shook her head. That’s not true. She cannot fall to self deception for the second or perhaps, the third time.
“No, Arianna. Richard doesn’t love me. He loves Tessa. He hadn’t stopped loving her despite the fact that he was no longer dating her.
You heard him yourself Arianna. Be plain in this matter, if Richard wasn’t your brother, would you advise me to go along with someone who told me I forced a kiss on him?
He said he still loves Tessa and if I hadn’t forced myself on him, he probably would have made up with her. You saw how he cared about her that night, right?Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
It’s evident. It’s so glaring that I do not occupy that special place in his heart. You won’t persuade me to return to him, right?” Genesis asked.
The next morning, Jace Hudson went to the hospital. He needed to get himself checked before having Arianna checked.
He stumbled upon Richard. The latter asked him if he was not doing well. But Jace said he came for a routine check. A man should do that quarterly at least.
Richard nodded and said he was absolutely right. They talked about a few things and Richard sends his regards to Arianna.
As Jace walked out of the hospital, he sighted a certain woman in a flowery maternity gown. He glanced at her from her head to her toes and a faint grin appeared on his lips.
So she’d finally gotten someone who planted his seed inside her? It’s obvious that her missed target and everything seemed ruined for her.
When she got closer, she wouldn’t raise her head to glance at Jace. The latter paused and said “Tayo Dante”
Things went by quickly and it was the weekend. Jace and Arianna were at the gym. Arianna had learnt to exercise a lot with Jace.
Eli often accompanies them and gets engaged in some childlike exercise. And soon, Chase came over from his Mansion and joined his brother and his fiance.
“Have you seen Rosalinda after she miscarried?” Arianna asked, sitting at the interior part of the gym, obviously resting.
She was sitting next to Jace while Chase was adjacent to them, drinking from a bottle of water.
“I’ve seen her a few times after a lot of difficulties. But she hates me now, and I don’t blame her for what she does” Chase responded.
She probably was having a great life with her new friend. She deserves to be happy, to be with someone who truly deserves her.
He had only realised how much he cares about her just after he had ruined his chances of being with her. So, that serves him right. Rosalinda should have all the happiness she can, in this world.
“Were you able to talk to her?” Arianna asked. She saw this calmness and abstinence in Chase these few weeks.
“Once. I talked with her but she’s not interested in talking to me. She blacklisted me on her social media accounts and blocked my contact, preventing me from reaching her” Chase Hudson responded breathing through his mouth like in exhaustion.
Jace just stared at his brother. Somehow he felt sorry for him. Something about Chase had changed. He seldom stay calm like this.
And for a while, he hadn’t seen him with any woman in a while. Was he taking a sabbatical leave on dating women?
“Do you have feelings for her now?” Arianna asked. Chase seemed lonely and unhappy. She doesn’t know if he’s learning how to love a woman now.
“I don’t know what it’s like to love a woman but I think I seem to get obsessed with the thoughts of her. I’m restless whenever her thought crosses my mind” Chase blurted.
“You’re in love , Chase. I can help you talk to her if you hadn’t gotten addicted to many women” Arianna offered.
“I’m no longer addicted to women. I haven’t had a fuck in several weeks now” Chase mumbled.
What??
