One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 58: You will never be enough for the wrong person

~~There were many times when we shared precious moments, but later realized they were only stolen moments. Letting go is not an easy task when smiling feels like I must wear this lonely mask, it hurts deep inside. If loving you is all that means to me... when being happy is all I hope you'd be. Then loving you must mean I REALLY HAVE TO SET YOU FREE~~~

"What are we doing here? Are you gonna treat me for lunch?" Jack's question when we parked outside the exclusive restaurant. Her smile was kinda proud and yet full of hope.

It's been three days since Cali and I went to her apartment and I managed to use my daughter for her to forgive me.

"Is this your peace offering? Hmm... actually, you don't really have to do this, but if you insist, well, who am I to refuse, so let's go---"

"Wait, Jackeline!" I stopped her from opening the door to the passenger side.

"Why? Are we still waiting for someone?"

"No, actually we're here to see Luke and ---"

"What the hell! Did you bring me here just to see them? Wow! Samantha, what is this---"

"Hey, Wait! This is not what you're thinking, okay? I hired a private investigator to check my husband's every move, where they go and what they do after work."

"Whoa! You really hired a private investigator just to know your husband's whereabouts? Huh! I can't believe you! But what is this for when you already know what he does and who's always with him?"

I sighed, giving her the widest smile I could muster.

"I'll explain it to you later, okay?"

Confusion and disapproval were evident in her eyes. She didn't say anything or even nod when I stepped out of the car. And take note, I was the one who actually opened her door.

"Please Jack, this would the last time I ask you a favor. You don't have to do anything for me, you just have to be with me."

"Haist! What are you talking about that this would be your last favor, you stubborn woman?" I chuckled when she rolled her eyes. "So what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

We were at the entrance when she nudged me on the elbow and whispered lowly in my ear.

"You owe me an explanation later, woman!"

"Fine, I will explain to you everything, but stop calling me by that name."

"Huh? Which one?"

"Haha... the name you just said at the end of your sentence."

"Ohh, the woman?"

"Exactly!"

I was really trying not to cry when Luke took his fork and sliced a small piece of the sweet chocolate cake and brought it to Cherry's mouth. And as usual, the girl opened her mouth excitedly. I breathed deeply and bit my quivering lip to stop the tears from flowing, but I seemed to have lost all my strength when Luke supposedly wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, but he didn't, instead, he wiped it with his
