To Love You Again, My Husband
Chapter 75: I’m In Love with You Airina’s POV
Nicole seethed with anger, her fists were tightly clenched as if a second later and the blood will drip and stain the ground. We weren’t like this before we were once good sisters. Just how come happiness lasts short? This isn’t the ending I wanted, but I doubt if Nicole was ever satisfied.
I heavily sighed, “I doubt if you ever put our relationship before anything else? We were once good sisters and we jammed so good. Tell me, have I ever done something to you that your hatred to me is just… horrible?”
Nicole bit her lips as she intensely glared at me as though if she could, she would have rip me apart in an instant.
“You want the truth? I can say that but are you even ready to face the truth?”
I frowned, “After everything that have happened, do you think I ever need to prepare myself? There’s no shocker than the fact that you cheated with Jackson before.”
Nicole snickered, she arched her lips helplessly, as if what she was thinking was something irreversible.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Your father, no, our father… do you know that he never loved my mother?”
“… Tell me the truth, Nicole.”
She nodded her head, “This is the freaking truth you want! Your father went to a club and paid a woman but coincidentally… my mother was also in that bar. Both of them were drunk so they spent the night while your father assumed that my mother was the woman he paid for. On the contrary, my mother had supposed that he was… her fiance!,” she paused, “My mother was engaged with someone she loved dearly but due to your father’s mistake, she had to break it and live with my father! Her fiance cursed her life that she was lowly and disgusting so I had to make sure that she wouldn’t need to suffer.”
The tight expression on my face loosened. I listened to her grievances and her tears fell resentfully. Considering the way, she yelled at me, I could sense that she was just venting her frustration onto me which isn’t entirely invalid.
“You didn’t know that, right? You were given the freedom not knowing anything so pray tell that you had that luxury. All I wanted was a secure life but you-”
“At the cost of my happiness? You thought I didn’t know my father had spent the night with a woman? Crap, I was the one who asked him where he went but he cried saying it was his fault. I knew all along that his love for my mother had fluctuated,” I pointed at her crying face, “So you don’t have a right to get angry at me. Furthermore, father gives you a fair share of finance, so you don’t have to worry so much while I… I have to watch my mother pay all the debts father had given to us.”
Nicole yelled, huffing in anger her veins were popping out of her neck. The next second, she grabbed the vase behind her and crashed them before us, but Jackson and I remained silent, watching her frustration.
“I HATE YOU, AIRINA! JUST DIE!”
In that instance, Jackson pulled me behind, asking the guard to come over and despite Nicole’s efforts of scurrying away from them, she didn’t succeed. She hadn’t stopped crying, so I assumed that she really had a hard time. But that doesn’t explain why she had to hurt me when I was only an onlooker at that time. Do I deserve her hatred?
I won’t expect anyone to soothe my questions and all but when I felt Jackson’s arms put me into a gentle hug, I could feel myself leaning forward to borrow more warmth than I ever asked before.
“I’m sorry, Airina,” based on his mournful sigh, he must have been very apologetic as of the moment. I spread my arms, hugging him back and listening, “… I’m sorry for my lacking understanding. I didn’t try to know you, I didn’t try to understand what you’ve undergone so I am… I don’t know what to do. I don’t know if I deserve you. I feel like someone else better than me far suits you better.”
He parted from me, his eyes glistening with gentleness and sincerity that I couldn’t look away. Whenever I see this gaze of his, I feel myself drowning and falling.
“But despite that uncertainty of mine I still don’t have the courage to let you go. I was never the person to stoop this low, to beg for someone, and for love at that. My parents, as you knew, aren’t that inclined to know about me. What they only want me to do was to have a wife and run the company. I am not well-versed how love should actually work but I know for sure that if I start to show my sincerity maybe I do stand a chance for you.”
My brows wriggled at his sudden revelation, causing me not to immediately react.
He smiled rather sadly, “When I gave you that cat, Gly, I was thinking how good it would be if we ever have children. And whenever I see you carrying her around, I’m having delusions that it was OUR baby. I… Airina, I’m in love with you.”
