One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 175: Would you still choose him?

"So what are your plans now?"

Jack asked me after I told her what happened at the park three days ago.

We are having a pool party at my parents' house and everyone is invited including Luke and his assistant Patrick. They are now at the pool area and I followed Jack into the kitchen to help her hold Ashley as she prepared her formula milk. "I don't know," I shrugged.

"What do you mean you don't know?"

But since I was busy baby-talking to my super adorable niece, I didn't reply to her right away.

"Sam!"

"Huh?"

"I'm asking you what do you mean you don't know?"

"Well, I don't know how to explain my feelings every time I see him. I love him but I can't help but recall all the things that happened." I was referring to Luke. "Haven't you forgiven him yet?"

"I did, actually I already saw my future with him until that unexpected incident happened... and I don't know what to think nor to feel anymore." I shrugged.

She suddenly fell silent and stared at me as if she was about to say something but then shook her head and continued with what she was doing.

"What is it?" I asked with a frown when she let out a long sigh.

"Nah, I was just wondering what really had happened to Luke in Saudi Arabia because being away for two months without calls or even a single message is very unusual especially when you said that he's possessive type." "Yeah, that's why I got mad, didn't I?"

"Didn't you ask him what happened, what he did for almost two months as to why he didn't call you?"

"I did, but he couldn't give me a straight answer! I felt like something was off with what he was always answering me and that's when I felt madder at him! Why can't he just tell the truth?"

"Hmm... tsk. tsk. tsk... why don't you ask him again?"

"Haist! What is the point of asking him again if he can't even answer my questions or should I say he doesn't want to answer them?"

"Do you think he really did cheat again this time?"

"I don't know! I really wanted to believe that he didn't, but he's not cooperating! He wants me to believe him but he doesn't make a way for me to believe him!"

there are no questions asked about it, he has a stable future and I know he truly loved you, remember?
