Chapter 53

Angela

After leaving Darius office. I went to my mom’s house to check up on her. I wasn’t ready to go back to the apartment because of the artist workspace. That was my greatest nightmare A dream I never want to walk into.

I tried opening the door but realised it was locked. I then knocked, praying my mom was at home. The doorknob turned right when I was about to lose hope and my mom’s face greeted me.

“Hey mom,”

“Angela! I didn’t know you would be here today.

1 frowned. Do I need a timetable for when I should visit my mother?

“What do you mean? Can’t I come here anytime?” I asked.

“Of course you can, silly. My therapist is around. You should’ve told me you were coming. I would’ve told you about him,”

I nodded and hummed in understanding. She moved away from the door and I hesitated before going in. I didn’t want to interrupt her session with her ther….

“It’s an honour. Call me Zack.”

“Dr Zack, it’s nice to meet you,”

His hand was still locked in mine. “Same here. You look so much like your mom and you’re just as beautiful as I’ve heard,”

I blushed. “Don’t flatter me. She’s prettier,” I smiled at my mom.

My mom smiled back at me, widened her eyes before fixing them at our interlocked hands before returning to stare at me. 1 got her message, loud and clear.

I quickly removed my hand from that of Mr. Gorgeous.

“I’d told your mom to invite you to one of our sessions. Bonding with family over a loss hastens the healing process.

I tucked my hair to the back of my ear. “I don’t think that ll be necessary”

“Trust me, it is. You can join us we have just five more minutes to use,” he checked his watch

1 looked to my mom for disapproval but instead she shrugged.

In her wordless language, that meant it wouldn’t hurt now, would
