Becoming Strangers Again by Lily

Chapter 130

RYAN

Day two and I kept looking at my phone, hoping for a message despite knowing that Jake clearly said that the message will sent on the third day.

That doesn't make it any better, knowing she is alone. The worst scenarios has been going on in my head. What if she chokes and no one is there to help her, What if she's running a fever and no one is there to help, what if she slips and fall and no one to call an ambulance.

I am slowly losing my sanity and only Lily can revive it. The door opened and Angelo walked in with a food tray.

He paused by the door and sighed deeply. "I don't get why you are starving yourself sir." He mumbled. "I get it that Lily is not here at the moment but getting yourself sick before she gets back is of no use to anyone."

Picking up my phone, I clicked on the screen but nothing, no text, no email.

Angelo walked further into the room. "Sir, this is your lunch, please eat something. If everything should go well, Lily will be home tomorrow."

I moved my gaze to him, my glare hard and intense. "If you have nothing to say to me Angelo, get out."

He took another step forward and dropped the tray beside me. "I'm literally begging you bossman."

"Get out!" I roared at him. "I do not want to do something we both will regret. Get out while I'm being nice."

"How about you stop acting like a child and have something in your system!" He fired back. "What is wrong with you Ryan?! For the past two days you've had nothing to do, You've seen your kids, all you do is stay in your bedroom and stare at your phone!"

The more he spoke, the more furious I became. "You'll not tell me how to deal with Lily's absence!"

"You kids needs you!" He retorted, "they can't be missing both their father and mother! Wake the fuck yup and do what you're suppose to do as a father!"

I glared and he glared harder. "Your mother and father may have been helping to you take care of them, together with the nanny but at the end of the day, the need you."
